My next guest is Dr. Brian Byrd a true entrepreneur who has decided to run for Mayor! He comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and earned a degree at UT in Marketing and International Business.
His life changed forever because of a knee injury in college. He was introduced to the medical field through having surgery. The lightbulb went off and he immediately started shadowing physicians while he was still in college.
He followed through and opened Texas Family Medicine right out of medical school. Then he launched Texas Hospice in 2007 and sold it in 2013.
What Next??
He successfully ran for City Council and served for 4 years and is now running for Mayor of Cowtown!

Dr. Death
We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, DR. DEATH is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system. Reported and hosted by Laura Beil.
