In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Hardeep Phull, a dedicated oncologist whose journey to medicine was anything but traditional. Through academic setbacks, unexpected detours, and powerful mentorships, Dr. Phull carved out a path that led not only to a career in oncology—but to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a healer.

He shares how failure shaped his approach to life and medicine, why cancer is a marathon rather than a sprint, and why the future of cancer care may lie not in curing the disease, but in managing it like a chronic illness. Dr. Phull also speaks candidly about the moral injuries built into the medical system, and how physicians can reclaim their power by embracing their full, imperfect stories.

This episode is a reflection on growth, resilience, and the value of staying connected—to mentors, to patients, and to purpose.
