We then talk about his voice-interactive studying software, MedFlashGo (Medical Flashcards on the Go), which is the first of its kind. We talk about how he managed to do this in residency and how he took it from an idea to the final product.   He has created over 200+ podcast episodes featuring TED Talk speakers, top level executives, physician leaders, influencers, and more.

This episode is an introduction to the Finance Flash Go Podcast where we provide a question and answer style show every weekday! The Finance FlashGo Podcast is a podcast co-produced by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jordan Frey, Family Physician Dr. Neel Desai, and Psychiatrist Dr. Taylor Brana. We also want to give thanks to Atrik Patel for aiding us in content production for this amazing show. One challenge that many people face is that they never learned the proper methods of creating and sustaining wealth. While we all may hold different ideas of what it means to be wealthy, learning lessons about finance is a way you can help yourself, your friends, and your family. Being financially savvy may not be the answer to everything, but it is an important aspect of leading a happier and peaceful life. Coming from a background in medical training, there was no one throughout the process who taught us the important life skill of being financially savvy. This podcast will bring you a question and answer format where we hope to tackle important aspects of becoming more financially knowledgeable. Please enjoy the Finance Flash Go podcast! We plan to release a new episode every weekday answering important finance questions. If you ever want to submit a question to our podcast, send an e-mail to financeflashgo@gmail.com, and please be sure to check out Jordan Frey's blog prudentplasticsurgeon.com where he gives great financial advice. A brief disclaimer While we are providing knowledge and awareness around financial topics in this show, we are not held responsible for any financial decisions you choose to make in response to the podcast. We hope to provide accurate information in regards to money and different methods of wealth creation, but it is always the learner's responsibility to due their due diligence before making important financial decisions. We hope you enjoy the show and thanks for tuning in, and if you like the podcast please subscribe, share, and leave us a review on the podcasting platform of your choice!

A doctor's life can be tough, but Taylor truly believes it is possible to build a happy and fulfilled life as a health professional; Taylor's guests have shown him that.Taylor is now in the process of developing further innovations in the healthcare and medical space  to reduce friction and pain points that are currently involved with being a professional and student.

Medical training is exhausting and leaves very little time for students to study and take care of themselves.

Examples include cooking, cleaning, lying down, lounging, walking, exercising, etc. Students who use this skill utilize an audio-verbal learning style to test themselves and retain more important information. This is also paired with the MedFlashGo podcast which is available for students to learn via audio. Taylor and his team continue to develop audio learning in areas of education in order to make learning accessible, inexpensive, and fun. It is his belief that with his teams they can educate the world and create a brighter and healthier society. Current developments include DentalFlashGo, SATFlashGo, MCATFlashGo, and SurgeryFlashGo. There is so much value in this episode and it is a MUST LISTEN to episode.Follow Taylor on all Social Mediums:Facebook: Taylor BranaLinked In: Taylor BranaInstagram: @Taylor_brana & @happydocpodcast & @medflashgo

Learn from Jay Doran The Culture Man! Jay transformed a failing gym business into a six-figure company within 6 months. He found that the truly transformational part of the business was happening at the hours between 12 to 1 o'clock. What was happening from 12 to 1 o'clock you might ask? His team was working on their company culture.   Culture is a topic that is immensely important and impacts the climate of our workplace and beyond. Who better to learn this topic than from Jay Doran, Culture Coach, Public Speaker, and Polymath. Join Dr. Taylor Brana on this conversational journey as we learn why Culture Matters and how we can establish improved workspaces with cultural alignment. Links: Website: http://jaydoranculture.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nv0WN0vRPv-mAQub3S3RQ (1173 Videos Worth Of Content) In this Conversation We Learn About: This conversation can inspire a thought, that may lead to a new idea, that can drive a new action or behavior. All culture rises and falls with leadership You need to get really clear on your culture's mission, vision, values, and effectively communicate this with your team. Mission: The mission is what you want to do every day to achieve a certain vision Vision: The visual representation of your goal Values: Embodied character traits to successfully work on the mission and achieve the vision How leadership communicates and acts matters and impacts all individuals following the leadership. Knowing something versus actualizing and being something are two completely different levels of communication Highly competent and confident individuals become leaders in their field. To take their impact to the next level, they must effectively understand how to communicate otherwise the leader risks losing passing on their knowledge forever. Learning from multiple sources and areas of study helps expand humanity to a new level. We did not get far as a people by specializing in one field. We must understand multiple disciplines such as sociology, psychology, neuropsychology, leadership, sales, etc. Note: at the time of recording Jay had read/listened to around 80 books this year The Idea Has To Be Greater Than Yourself The business must have a great idea that [has] all these people, with their own personal internal character, come together and agree that the idea is just a little more important than all of them. Or else what happens is it becomes a me me me me me organization.” -Jay Doran   The Happy Doc: The Happy Doc is a  podcast, website, and movement with a vision to create a world where all physicians can thrive and establish better care for their patients. Our podcast is a space where we learn from happy doctors and inspiring leaders such as our latest guest.

"How do I maintain my identity while in medical training?" This is a question posed by one of our listeners. Dr. Taylor Brana offers some insights and thoughts on this topic. Please also refer to the episode with work-life integration with Dr. Qaali Hussein which is useful when it comes to this topic.  Some ideas include:  1. Continue to pursue the interests you have built prior to starting training 2. Join an intramural group, form a club, or attend a class that is scheduled. This will allow you to maintain your interest via social pressure **Make sure to make these events mandatory and schedule it as important since your work is likely more time-consuming than it previously was ** 3. Consider ways to have your interest at scale (such as a blog, vlog, podcast, class), in order to inspire others to take care of themselves as well. 4. Maintain and nurture the relationships that have been vital for you (unfortunately you might not be able to make time for everyone as you had previously). **Additionally, don't feel bad about taking care of yourself first. There is only so much time in day** We hope you enjoyed this Happy Doc Daily for today! Check us out on iTunes: http://bit.ly/happydocpodcast.

Hey everyone, this is Taylor Brana, the founder of The Happy Doc! I wanted to do a little reflection piece this week, after finishing my first month of intern year in the Emergency department, and starting Internal Medicine. First off, while challenging, I've learned a lot through being an intern. I have quite enjoyed the challenge of the experience, and I'm getting lessons from this that will help me for a life time. My goal for this episode is to reflect on some of the things I've learned from my time thus far, and sprinkling in some advice I've gotten from guests I've had, right here, on the podcast. I will be speaking from my current experiences (and hopefully not breaking HIPAA in the process). Topics of the conversation: # Doing the right thing # Knowing the patient # Sleep # Comfortable shoes # Keep moving (using opportunities) # Med Students are awesome # Protection # Taking note of the flow (anticipate) # Having a system # Communication and Follow-up # Serenity Prayer/Stoicism # Be humble for the patient (if you don't know ask) # Being a team player # Audio books/Podcasts # Recharging # Staying inspired *** Join The Happy Doc Team!
