A conversation between Dr. Lee Kaplan and Dr. Ricardo Komotar, renowned Neurosurgeon and Co-Director of the Sylvester Brain Tumor Institute. Dr. Komotar is an international leader in pioneering strategies for brain tumor surgery and treatment, performing nearly 700 surgical procedures each year using cutting-edge techniques that remove tumors with the least impact on the patient and their daily lives. Dr. Komotar has authored hundreds of articles and chapters about his research and has served as an advisor on numerous national boards, medical societies, and committees.
We discuss with Dr. Komotar the value of doing difficult things, how peak physical and mental performance impact professional performance, why he cold plunges before 6am every morning, and the importance of mind-frame in overcoming difficulties.
