00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.391
The greatest employers create win-win situations.

00:00:03.391 --> 00:00:06.905
They want the business to win, they want to win and they want their team members to win.

00:00:06.905 --> 00:00:14.085
Right, and so if that conversation is completely one-sided, it's not a deal breaker, but it does tell you something.

00:00:14.085 --> 00:00:29.649
Hi docs, welcome to the EntreMD podcast, where it's all about helping amazing physicians just like you embrace entrepreneurship so you can have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on your terms.

00:00:29.649 --> 00:00:31.492
I'm your host, dr Una.

00:00:31.492 --> 00:00:39.646
Well, hello, hello, my friend.

00:00:39.646 --> 00:00:42.579
Welcome back to another episode of the EntreeMD podcast.

00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:44.667
Super pumped to have you here, as always.

00:00:45.149 --> 00:00:51.246
And today we're going to be talking about one of the things that I was going to say, one of my favorite things, but I've really grown to love this.

00:00:51.246 --> 00:00:54.384
In the beginning it was not my favorite thing, so it might not be yours, and that's fine.

00:00:54.384 --> 00:00:57.692
And we're going to be looking at the interview process.

00:00:57.692 --> 00:01:00.484
So seven interview questions I always ask.

00:01:00.484 --> 00:01:04.191
So you may be in a position where you're doing a lot of hiring.

00:01:04.191 --> 00:01:12.709
Maybe you're bringing on your first hire, or you're bringing on your first management level hire, first executive hire, and you're like, oh my goodness, what do I do in the interview process?

00:01:12.709 --> 00:01:13.010
Right?

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:20.123
And so we're going to have a series of podcast episodes to talk about how many interviews you should have, who should they be, with all those things.

00:01:20.123 --> 00:01:25.272
But today I want to talk about the seven questions you must ask at every interview.

00:01:25.272 --> 00:01:35.765
Okay, so I used to be the person who my version of interviewing was I would invite someone for an interview, I would meet them, I would chit chat with them.

00:01:35.765 --> 00:01:40.390
They're a warm body, they seem like they are nice and I would hire them.

00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:42.227
So I was hiring nice, warm bodies.

00:01:42.227 --> 00:01:55.844
Okay, that is not a winning strategy, and so today we're going to look at some things that are kind of structured and will take you to where you want to go, because the bottom line is you want to bring somebody on board, that you know that it will end up being a win-win-win situation.

00:01:55.844 --> 00:02:02.022
So in that position, it is a win for the person who comes to work with you, it's a win for you because you have this team.

00:02:02.022 --> 00:02:03.965
That's amazing and it's a win for the business.

00:02:03.965 --> 00:02:07.569
Okay, all right, so let's look at these questions.

00:02:07.569 --> 00:02:12.895
Okay, now you would have heard me talk about when you're ready to bring somebody onto your team.

00:02:13.294 --> 00:02:14.896
The starting point is not the interview.

00:02:14.896 --> 00:02:18.524
The starting point is not even the ad.

00:02:18.524 --> 00:02:23.486
The starting point is deciding what are the top five to seven outcomes this person will be responsible for in my business.

00:02:23.486 --> 00:02:25.344
Okay, so think about it.

00:02:25.344 --> 00:02:40.092
Let's say you're hiring another doctor and you're like their outcomes is they're seeing 20 patients a day and they are helping to build their own panel and they are making sure that their billing is completed within 24 hours, so you're not having any cashflow problems.

00:02:40.092 --> 00:02:43.766
That may be what some of the top outcomes you would want.

00:02:43.766 --> 00:02:50.926
They're building a referral base, whatever that is, and if you've seen one practice, you've seen one practice, so it could be different for everybody.

00:02:51.127 --> 00:03:01.193
Okay, maybe you're a coach and you're bringing on somebody who is kind of like an operations manager or business manager for you and your top objectives will be around number of new clients.

00:03:01.193 --> 00:03:02.860
You want number of clients.

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:06.542
You want renewing number of new leads that are coming in every month.

00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:09.788
Like, you have these metrics that you want them to meet.

00:03:09.788 --> 00:03:17.215
So before you get to the interview, it is critical that you understand what those metrics are for you.

00:03:17.496 --> 00:03:21.225
Okay, sometimes people say, well, why don't you just tell me what they are?

00:03:21.225 --> 00:03:23.200
Well, it depends on your business, right?

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.027
Like, so your team is an extension of you.

00:03:25.027 --> 00:03:26.966
You have your goals for the year.

00:03:26.966 --> 00:03:28.265
You have your outcomes for the year.

00:03:28.265 --> 00:03:31.008
What portion of that is that person responsible for?

00:03:31.008 --> 00:03:34.086
And you know, five is great, three is great.

00:03:34.086 --> 00:03:40.852
Actually, five is great Seven, but I will not, I almost would not do seven, but I would not do any more than seven, right?

00:03:40.852 --> 00:03:44.213
So these are the objectives this person is responsible for.

00:03:44.213 --> 00:03:46.074
These are the outcomes we want them to create.

00:03:46.074 --> 00:03:51.116
It might be your front desk and you're like I want you scheduling this number of patients a day.

00:03:51.116 --> 00:03:55.981
I want our gross collection ratio to be at a hundred percent, or, you know, 95%.

00:03:55.981 --> 00:03:59.169
I want, you know, x number of reviews every day.

00:03:59.169 --> 00:03:59.950
I want.

00:03:59.950 --> 00:04:03.301
So you have these things that this is, these are the outcomes they're responsible for.

00:04:03.301 --> 00:04:05.525
Okay, so you have these things that these are the outcomes they're responsible for.

00:04:05.525 --> 00:04:09.909
Okay, so you want to think of them, and it's possible that you've never actually thought in these terms.

00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:11.812
You're just like, oh, you know the front desk person.

00:04:11.812 --> 00:04:14.455
You know they open up the door, they check people in and all of that.

00:04:14.455 --> 00:04:19.970
Those are things that they do, those are tasks that they do, but what outcomes is the role responsible for?

00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:24.290
So that's the starting point and the reason why I'm taking the time to talk about.

00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:27.995
This is because of the first three questions we're going to ask in the interview process.

00:04:27.995 --> 00:04:42.733
So questions one, two and three are going to be questions that will show you if the person has any understanding of how to create these outcomes or if they have any competence in that area.

00:04:42.733 --> 00:04:54.387
So, for instance, let's say you are hiring a practice administrator and one of the things you want them to do something that's really big is you want them to be overall responsible for the schedule.

00:04:54.387 --> 00:05:01.764
So maybe in your practice you don't want to see 20 patients a day Okay, and that's something that she's going to be responsible for making sure you guys are hitting.

00:05:01.764 --> 00:05:14.269
Then one of the questions will be say, you walked into the practice and you were looking at the schedule for two days from now and you see that there are three doctors working that day and there's a total of 25 patients on the schedule.

00:05:14.269 --> 00:05:15.172
What will you do?

00:05:15.172 --> 00:05:31.641
Right, in the answering of that question you'll be able to tell with how quickly they answer and how completely they answer, if they have competence there, if that's something they've done, if it's something they've been responsible for, if their mind works that way.

00:05:31.641 --> 00:05:33.406
The answers will give you the clues.

00:05:33.406 --> 00:05:35.331
Okay, cause we're looking for evidence here.

00:05:35.331 --> 00:05:37.384
We're not looking for potential, we're looking for evidence.

00:05:37.805 --> 00:05:44.608
You may say you know that you have maybe it's somebody else they're responsible for actually seeing the 25 patients a day.

00:05:44.608 --> 00:05:49.718
And you have maybe it's somebody else they're responsible for actually seeing the 25 patients a day and you walk into the office, there's 25 patients on your schedule.

00:05:49.718 --> 00:05:50.440
How do you manage that?

00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:52.766
What do you do so your notes can be done on time?

00:05:52.766 --> 00:05:55.382
What do you do so you don't have long wait times and all of that?

00:05:55.382 --> 00:05:57.088
Again, what are you listening for?

00:05:57.088 --> 00:05:58.170
This is something I do.

00:05:58.170 --> 00:05:59.781
I have competency here.

00:05:59.781 --> 00:06:00.822
I can manage that.

00:06:00.822 --> 00:06:03.065
That's what you're looking for, right?

00:06:04.127 --> 00:06:18.752
You may say, if it's a front desk person, and one of their outcomes is that they are responsible for the gross collection ratio, so they're collecting the co-pays, the deductibles, all of that, maybe even collecting some old balances, and you're like, okay, so you come in and we have this patient.

00:06:18.752 --> 00:06:22.968
They have a you know, $25 co -pay and they tell you they can't pay it.

00:06:22.968 --> 00:06:24.190
Well, how do you handle that?

00:06:24.190 --> 00:06:30.541
And this is not, it's not a trick question.

00:06:30.541 --> 00:06:31.322
You're not trying to catch them.

00:06:31.322 --> 00:06:31.963
That's not what this is.

00:06:31.963 --> 00:06:33.588
This is you just trying to uncover.

00:06:33.588 --> 00:06:42.312
You're trying to uncover the evidence right, and so in their answer you'll get a feel for whether this is somebody who absolutely dislikes having money conversations.

00:06:42.312 --> 00:06:52.033
And there have been people I mean many of us have done that where you hire somebody, they work the front desk but they don't want to have anything to do with the money right, and so that becomes a problem of sorts.

00:06:52.516 --> 00:07:05.663
So your first three questions are really around uncovering if their top three objectives, if these are things that they have competency in, these are things they have understanding of, if these are things that they're going to be great at right.

00:07:05.663 --> 00:07:07.646
So those are the first three questions.

00:07:07.646 --> 00:07:36.682
The fourth question I like to ask you know and this question I really asked the question because I want to get a feel for what their true values are, what you know like, what they consider a great job, opportunity and all of those things, and so I would typically ask you know, let's say, this all worked out and you'd worked with us for a year and you were at your friend's birthday party and you were telling her oh my goodness, like working with Dr Una has been the absolute best thing that has happened to me.

00:07:36.682 --> 00:07:47.112
What would have to happen for you to say that right, and in this you're just listening what are the things that are valuable to them?

00:07:47.112 --> 00:07:49.985
Right, and so you will get.

00:07:49.985 --> 00:07:53.312
You know like, you will get things like I've had someone tell me.

00:07:53.312 --> 00:07:57.634
Well, you know, like I have extremely amazing work-life balance.

00:07:57.634 --> 00:08:00.261
You know, I'm working three days a week.

00:08:00.261 --> 00:08:05.571
I have flexibility, so if I need to leave at any time, I can leave and everything.

00:08:08.115 --> 00:08:15.877
The way the job worked for the person and there was no commentary at all about the work they produced, the results.

00:08:15.877 --> 00:08:18.786
They get the pride in their work like there was nothing at all.

00:08:18.786 --> 00:08:22.505
Now, does that mean that's a deal breaker?

00:08:22.505 --> 00:08:26.156
Maybe not, but it depends on what the answers to the other questions are.

00:08:26.156 --> 00:08:35.760
Because when your greatest employees want to create win-win situations, they want the business to win and they want to win.

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:39.346
The greatest employers create win-win situations.

00:08:39.346 --> 00:08:49.589
They want the business to win, they want to win and they want their team members to win right, and so if that conversation is completely one-sided, again it's not a deal breaker.

00:08:49.589 --> 00:08:51.442
But it does tell you something, right.

00:08:51.442 --> 00:08:52.188
It tells you something, so you.

00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:52.682
It does tell you something, right?

00:08:52.682 --> 00:08:57.642
It tells you something, so you want to listen, for that right, and sometimes they'll tell you some other things.

00:08:57.642 --> 00:08:59.125
Like there was career progression.

00:08:59.125 --> 00:09:13.255
They were able to learn a lot of new things, like sometimes that's a pointer you know like to things that they find value in, things that are like their quote unquote love language, so you can speak that language frequently.

00:09:13.456 --> 00:09:36.863
Like, I have a team member who really is really big on career progression, developing herself more so, acquiring new skills, becoming really great, having autonomy, having the freedom to call shots, and she loves creating outcomes and all of those things to call shots, and she loves creating outcomes and all of those things.

00:09:36.863 --> 00:09:39.373
And because I understand that, I make sure that in her role she's able to have those things.

00:09:39.373 --> 00:09:52.525
She's able to have extra training opportunities, she's able to have the freedom to create results, to take on projects and all of those things right Now, which is really great because she's really in tune with.

00:09:52.525 --> 00:09:53.808
This is what we do.

00:09:53.808 --> 00:09:59.282
When we do this, the business wins, so it's all connected, so it's a true win-win situation.

00:09:59.282 --> 00:10:00.004
Do you see what I'm saying?

00:10:00.004 --> 00:10:03.125
So that's kind of the way you want to think about it.

00:10:03.154 --> 00:10:06.157
But you ask those questions and I'll talk about the follow-up.

00:10:06.157 --> 00:10:13.523
But the follow-up here is when they say something, you ask more probing questions to hear all of it.

00:10:13.523 --> 00:10:14.344
You know what I mean Like.

00:10:14.344 --> 00:10:17.126
So that's a question you want to ask follow-up questions for.

00:10:17.126 --> 00:10:17.807
So that's number four.

00:10:18.168 --> 00:10:23.251
Number five if it is not their absolute first job, I ask them why they left, right, I ask them why they left.

00:10:23.251 --> 00:10:39.187
And this again is a very important question because some people say, I mean, there's so many reasons why people leave, right, life changed, they had to move, they had to take off from you know, they decided to take a year off because they wanted to spend more time with the children and all of those things.

00:10:39.187 --> 00:10:49.302
But sometimes people will then tell you, you know about their boss, and it was like that boss from two jobs from them, and you know they were a boss from hell.

00:10:49.302 --> 00:10:50.807
And they just go on and on and on.

00:10:50.807 --> 00:10:53.288
And it was a boss and it was a supervisor, and it was everybody.

00:10:53.288 --> 00:10:55.190
Again, is it a deal breaker?

00:10:55.190 --> 00:10:57.191
No, could it be that that's actually what happened?

00:10:57.191 --> 00:11:01.878
Yes, but could it also be that this is a person who's just not going to work well with other people?

00:11:01.878 --> 00:11:06.408
Yes, so you want to pay attention to that right, like why did they leave?

00:11:06.408 --> 00:11:08.298
And things like that.

00:11:08.298 --> 00:11:20.740
Okay, number six I always ask questions around how they handle conflict, because if there is a team, there's conflict period, there's going to be opportunities for conflict.

00:11:20.760 --> 00:11:22.386
People will misunderstand themselves.

00:11:22.386 --> 00:11:23.491
All these things are going to happen.

00:11:23.491 --> 00:11:27.559
So conflict happening is not an issue how it's handled right.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.225
So those questions could be.

00:11:30.225 --> 00:11:36.684
So, for instance let me break that down even further If I am hiring, this is not as much.

00:11:36.684 --> 00:11:41.121
This is actually not a problem at all now because my practice has evolved so much.

00:11:41.855 --> 00:11:45.086
But you know, there was a time where people were like, oh, I only want to see Dr Una.

00:11:45.086 --> 00:11:47.724
Like I had all these patients, and they're like I only want to see Dr Una.

00:11:47.724 --> 00:11:55.109
And so one of the questions I'll ask you walk into a room, you're ready to see the patient, and the patient has this stern look on their face.

00:11:55.109 --> 00:12:00.091
They're actually upset that you walked into the room after you'd hurried to be on time so you could see them.

00:12:00.091 --> 00:12:01.673
And they're like who are you?

00:12:01.673 --> 00:12:03.236
I only want to see Dr Una.

00:12:03.236 --> 00:12:04.717
I'm like how do you respond to that?

00:12:04.717 --> 00:12:12.788
And the reason why I'm asking that is because that is something that I know is going to happen, right, and I want to know how you're going to handle it.

00:12:12.847 --> 00:12:18.683
And some people are like, yeah, if they want to see you, I'm going to walk out of the room and, you know, tell the team to get you right.

00:12:18.683 --> 00:12:22.716
And I already know again is that in isolation is a deal breaker?

00:12:22.716 --> 00:12:27.000
No, but when you have a string of things right, you have to go like, okay, do I want this or not?

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.043
But the person says that.

00:12:29.043 --> 00:12:34.668
Then the question is do you want to be pulled out of River Rome twice a day, three times a day, four times a day?

00:12:34.668 --> 00:12:40.043
Because somebody said I don't want to see you, I want to see, I want to see the practice owner or the doctor.

00:12:40.043 --> 00:12:43.039
I've always seen Right, and so those become.

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.025
That's something that you want to look at.

00:12:45.254 --> 00:12:52.744
If it's somebody who, for instance, if I'm interviewing somebody and that person is going to have a manager over them, I also want to see right.

00:12:52.744 --> 00:13:08.201
Because how are you going to respond when you guys disagree right, like so you know, the manager says this has to be done this way and it's not something that is right or wrong, it's something that could be A or B, right, they want to do it this way, you want to do it that way.

00:13:08.201 --> 00:13:10.426
So how do you respond to that?

00:13:10.426 --> 00:13:11.807
And you listen.

00:13:11.807 --> 00:13:21.625
I've had people tell me well, I'll let her do it, because she's the boss, she can do what she needs to do, but I'm going to still come back and ultimately I'm going to have my way right Again.

00:13:21.625 --> 00:13:23.798
Is that a complete deal breaker on its own?

00:13:23.798 --> 00:13:28.777
No, but when you have a number of well, it's not really a deal breaker to string together.

00:13:29.136 --> 00:13:32.721
Then you have to ask yourself these questions, right, like, is this something that I want to do?

00:13:32.721 --> 00:13:35.985
So give them opportunities, play those scenarios out.

00:13:35.985 --> 00:13:37.907
When you disagree, what happens?

00:13:37.907 --> 00:13:47.158
You know, when I say this is the way that we're going to do this, but you're really firm like this is the no, this other way is the way to do it.

00:13:47.158 --> 00:13:47.698
What are you going to do?

00:13:47.698 --> 00:13:48.740
Right, okay, and then the seventh question.

00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:53.028
The seventh question really is do you have any questions for me?

00:13:53.028 --> 00:13:59.597
Right, because what that does is that keeps the conversation going.

00:13:59.597 --> 00:14:03.525
From their questions you can also get a feel, for you know what, what kind of person this is.

00:14:03.706 --> 00:14:11.399
Right now, I really want to tell you, you know why the asking these questions are so important and what I'm actually looking for when I ask all these questions.

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.746
When I ask them, I'm looking for their motivators.

00:14:13.746 --> 00:14:18.542
So I gave you the example with a team member of mine that really values career progression and all of those kinds of things.

00:14:18.542 --> 00:14:24.245
You want to know what their motivators are, so you are in a position to create a win-win situation.

00:14:24.245 --> 00:14:41.278
Right, you cannot make an assumption that everybody values a race equally, or everybody values flexibility equally, or, like people value different things above other things, and you want to be very clear on what that is, so that you can speak that language frequently.

00:14:41.578 --> 00:14:46.989
Right, you want your people to like for me, I have this vision.

00:14:46.989 --> 00:14:58.619
I really want people, when they work with me, to say, oh, my goodness, my time working with Dr Una was a time of unprecedented growth and transformation in my life, and I look back at it and it was one of the best times of my life.

00:14:58.619 --> 00:15:04.383
I want people to be able to say that, but for them to be able to say that, I need to know what their motivators are.

00:15:04.383 --> 00:15:05.745
Okay, so I do that.

00:15:05.745 --> 00:15:08.460
For that, I'm also looking for evidence of competency.

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:10.405
Now let me talk to the people who are like me.

00:15:10.405 --> 00:15:15.038
Okay, I'm really big on seeing people's potential.

00:15:15.038 --> 00:15:32.123
At this point, I guess I'll just call it a gift, okay, where I could sit with somebody and hear their story and hear their aspirations and hear their challenges and I'm like, oh, my goodness, I can immediately see a roadmap, like, if you do this, this, this, we can be over here, and all of that.

00:15:32.123 --> 00:15:40.119
So, when I see people, I see in terms of potential, I'm so acutely aware of what they can do, who they can become, and all of that.

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:46.360
Now, when you're hiring, you're not looking for potential, not really, you're looking for evidence.

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.567
You're looking for evidence of competency.

00:15:48.567 --> 00:15:53.248
And so a lot of these questions will pull out like when is the evidence?

00:15:53.248 --> 00:15:54.913
Where is the evidence of the competency?

00:15:54.913 --> 00:15:58.315
Where is the evidence that this person can do what I want to hire them to do?

00:15:58.315 --> 00:16:09.192
Now, you can look for potential in the sense of, okay, I'm bringing this person on for this role, but I know they can grow into XYZ role, but they have to be competent at whatever it is that you're hiring them for, right?

00:16:09.192 --> 00:16:14.236
Okay, so you're looking, the questions you're asking, you're looking for evidence of competency.

00:16:14.236 --> 00:16:23.908
And then the third thing you're looking for are red flags.

00:16:23.908 --> 00:16:25.313
Like they're red flags and when you see them, believe them.

00:16:25.313 --> 00:16:36.207
When you see them, don't ignore them, right, and the more conversation you have, the more you're able to pull these out, and so you really want to have people talking at the interviews, and the way to do that is to ask a ton of questions.

00:16:36.288 --> 00:16:42.028
Okay, now, when you think about this I don't want you to think about it like some rigid, you're just going to pull from the paper, type of thing.

00:16:42.028 --> 00:16:44.173
Think of it like you're having conversations.

00:16:44.173 --> 00:16:47.551
In fact, when I do interviews, I'm usually the third interview.

00:16:47.551 --> 00:17:03.164
It means two other people on my team would have interviewed the person, and I'm the third interview, and so I'm at a stage in my career where I can say this, and so maybe you can too, right?

00:17:03.164 --> 00:17:03.869
So this is the third interview.

00:17:03.889 --> 00:17:07.065
At this point, I'm like okay, listen, okay, you're an adult, I'm an adult, you know what you want, I know what I want, so there's no pressure here.

00:17:07.065 --> 00:17:13.473
This interview is really to see if this is something that is a great fit for me, it's a great fit for you.

00:17:13.473 --> 00:17:15.817
If that's the case, then it's a match made in heaven.

00:17:15.817 --> 00:17:16.678
We'll go ahead.

00:17:16.678 --> 00:17:24.795
I really want you to be in a workplace where you enjoy being at work and it's fulfilling and it's significant for you, whether that's with us or with somebody else.

00:17:24.795 --> 00:17:32.259
And I want to be with a team member who I'm going to really enjoy working with.

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:36.737
So no pressure, but let's talk through some of these things.

00:17:37.085 --> 00:17:38.431
And then I just start with the questions.

00:17:38.431 --> 00:17:48.298
Right, and so it's really important that we think of it this way no more hiring potential warm bodies, but let's just put some thought into it.

00:17:48.298 --> 00:17:50.308
Just think of the interview process.

00:17:50.308 --> 00:17:56.713
As you know, it's a means to an end and the end is like a rockstar team hire, okay.

00:17:56.713 --> 00:18:07.036
So I want you to maybe write these questions down, maybe practice it with some roles that you have open in your company and you're like, okay, what would this kind of interview look like?

00:18:07.036 --> 00:18:13.234
And then just start doing a different kind of interview where you can tell this person will be a great fit.

00:18:13.234 --> 00:18:19.114
This person will not be a great fit for our culture Doesn't mean they're bad, it just means they will be great somewhere else, right?

00:18:19.114 --> 00:18:22.907
So go write these down, go start practicing them.

00:18:22.907 --> 00:18:24.512
Let me know how it goes for you.

00:18:24.512 --> 00:18:25.998
I can't wait to see.

00:18:26.138 --> 00:18:39.186
I love seeing doctors build formidable teams, amazing teams that help them accomplish so much while they're maintaining their work-life balance and the time that they need for their family and all of that.

00:18:39.186 --> 00:18:43.507
So they're doing the work they need to do, but they're not doing all the work in the world, right.

00:18:43.507 --> 00:18:44.730
So I'd love that for you.

00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:55.472
I'm cheering you on and, of course, if you have any questions after this, be sure to post it in our Facebook group, which is EntreeMD Physicians in Business, and you post that there.

00:18:55.472 --> 00:19:02.386
I would be happy to create another episode for this, because it was somebody in the group who asked this question, and here's the podcast episode.

00:19:02.386 --> 00:19:04.055
So thank you so much for watching.

00:19:04.055 --> 00:19:09.275
Take this episode, share it with the doctors in your life, and I'll see you on the next episode of the On Trending Podcast.
