From Doctor to Investor (and the importance of trusting your gut) | Imran Mahmud - EP 8

This guy's CV is downright intimidating.

Imran Mahmud, MD studied medicine at Oxford, practiced as a physician, went to Harvard, joined McKinsey & Company and co-founded a successful startup.

If that's not enough, he also is an angel investor and content creator...

And he has young kids... which he homeschools with his wife....

Crazy right?!

I was lucky enough to chat to him for the latest episode of Two Roads.

He is an incredibly humble dude and thinks deeply about crafting his life and making career decisions. We chatted about;

- Why he left medicine

- How to balance rationality with intuiition when making decisions

- The surprising reason he does angel investing (it's not for financial reasons)

- His advice for young people and how not to get "trapped" in a career

- How medics can think about whether or not to leave their practice

- Why he and his wife have chose to homeschool their kids and how they balance that with their careers

- The hard skills you need to make career changes easier

He's such a good guy and I really appreciate him taking the time to chat to me about his journey.
