Coaching a 23-Year ER Doctor Scale to 100 Clinics | Noah Kaufman | Ep 1023

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"What's the point of a safety net if I have to still play it safe?" - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Noah Kaufman a 23-year emergency physician who walked out of the hospital system and opened KaufCare, an advanced urgent care in Denver with published prices and no insurance.

This one sits on availability. What it costs a leader to be reachable by everyone. Why a man built entirely around care hears no as the withdrawal of it. And what is actually running when you say yes to every request that comes at you.

Three things to take with you:

Saying yes to everyone is reputation management, not opportunity management
The real filter: how does this help me serve the people I already committed to
You do not need someone else's better idea. You need to trust the one you already have
