In this reflective episode, Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon with 25 years of experience, shares 20 deeply personal lessons learned throughout his medical career and life. Framed as an evolving roadmap rather than a checklist. Dr. London emphasizes that growth comes through humility, listening, curiosity, and embracing change. Ultimately, he reminds us that while professional achievement matters, it’s the people we love—and how we care for ourselves and others—that define a meaningful life.
