Dr. Nneka Unachukwu, or Dr. Una as she is endearingly called by her patients and the many doctors she has mentored, is a pediatrician and founder of Ivy League Pediatrics, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Since founding that practice 11 years ago, she has started many other successful businesses, including teaching physicians the skills of entrepreneurship through her podcast, called EntreMD (short for Entrepreneur MD), and her group teaching program, the EntreMD Business School.
She has a goal of helping 80,000 physicians create financial freedom by building profitable businesses, and she is well on her way. This woman is a national treasure.
In our conversation today, Dr. Una talks candidly about her life as a mother, a wife, and a doctor; and the shift in thinking women physicians need to have in order to be fulfilled in all those areas of life (yes, we do talk about housework and childcare),
We also talk about her perspective on the way the world has changed for physicians and how entrepreneurship and the skill of public speaking are at the top of her list as ways for physicians to continue thriving. Dr. Una is unusually insightful and was so gracious to spend this time with me - please enjoy our interview.
