Welcome back to the Epics Podcast. I started this podcast because I believe that the foundation of hate and discrimination in our world comes from a lack of understanding of those who are different from ourselves. We plan to combat that by hearing everyone's stories, that we can better understand them, be a part of creating real positive change. This week on the show, I am sharing with you my conversation with Ethan Nkana. I reached out to Ethan as a fellow Denverite and entrepreneur and I was thrilled that he was able to come on the show and share his story with us. Ethan began his career in hospital administration as a Human Resources intern after earning a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration & Public Relations. Over the next decade, Ethan would grow his skill set to include leadership roles in hospital finance, physician contracting and compensation, hospital operations, and healthcare strategy. He earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) and Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Dayton, and in 2020 before the pandemic Ethan found himself jobless for the first time in his career after having spent 10+ years working in hospital leadership, which ultimately led to him starting RMPA (Rocky Mountain Physician Agency), a sports management agency whose clients are physicians instead of elite professional athletes, because physicians are at a distinct disadvantage when negotiating contracts and salaries with hospital executives. Ethan is a real kick ass person above all else and.. I was able to talk to him about so many meaningful topics such as moving to Puerto Rico in his childhood, Creating a career in hospital admin and leadership and world that he had to live in that was different from the world his white counterparts inhabited. And ultimately we got to talk about Ethan starting RMPA and how that has enabled him to live his life as the fullest and best version of himself as the Jerry Maguire for Doctors. Ethan and I joked before recording that he woke up on a different side of the bed today and was ready to go off. And I'm so grateful that he did because he shared so much vulnerable insight from his story that made a really powerful impact on me coming away from our conversation.
1078 On today's episode, we will be discussing the importance of having representation in the negotiation of physician contracts. Our guest is an expert in this field, having spent over a decade analyzing and negotiating contracts on behalf of hospitals and health systems. Rocky Mountain Physician Agency, recognized the need for physicians to have their own representation in contract negotiations and our guest founded RMPA to provide this service. RMPA evens the playing field by using the same industry-leading compensation data and insights that hospitals have access to, all while prioritizing the needs of physicians.

What is one common difference between the hiring process of most professionals with advanced degrees and those in sports and talent industries? The use of talent agents. People dedicated to finding their clients jobs, negotiating the terms, and essentially doing all of the analytical work to determine market value for the "talent." What if the Talent were Physicians?Raised by a physician mother, my guest today is Ethan Nkana, who didn't enter the world of medicine as a doctor but instead got his JD and MBA to enter the world of hospital administration. Ethan cut his teeth negotiating physician contracts, running operations, and more for hospitals. But he decided to get out and start a business working on the other side of the table with physicians in the negotiation process. His model is simple in that he uses the same as talent agents for musicians, artists, and athletes except his clients are doctors. Ethan brings his knowledge at the Rocky Mountain Physician Agency of what hospitals want, where their pain points are, and what they worry about to help doctors maximize their compensation or work situation. Fortunately for Ethan, there are plenty of physicians now employed and looking for more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
