That Little Extra Is Everything (ft. Luis Garcia)
About this episode
Dr. Luis Garcia is the President of Rush Medical Group in Chicago, leading 1,000 physicians and 500 APPs across the Rush footprint. He grew up in a poor neighborhood in Mexico City where his father started a medical practice in his grandmother's kitchen that eventually became a hospital. He applied to all 220 surgery residency programs in the US as a foreign medical graduate, got two interviews, and flew to Fargo, North Dakota in the middle of a blizzard because he refused to do a phone interview.
In this episode, Luis talks about why he had to leave Mexico to stop being his father's son, why identifying your weaknesses matters more than knowing your strengths, and why the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is always that little 'extra.'
