You can spend years improving your business while unintentionally drifting away from the conviction that built it. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore why philosophy, continual learning, and investing in experiences that challenge and inspire you are essential to maintaining certainty in practice. Through stories from the Innate Summit, mission trips, and years of clinical experience, they discuss how reconnecting with your purpose strengthens your team, deepens patient trust, and brings renewed energy to the way you serve. When doctors continually invest in their own growth, they create practices that are more resilient, more aligned, and better equipped to change lives.
