“Our best lessons are the hardest.” - Duncan Newhouser, PhD
Medvalista Edward McEachern, MD had the good fortune of being befriended by one of his professors when he was in medical school at Case Western. Below is the link to the recording of Edward’s presentation to the Medvale Healthcare Company Founders Club in which he expounds on these ten lessons he gleaned from his friend Duncan Newhouser.
- Sponsor young talent. It’s more helpful than mentoring.
- Be curious. Look at primary source documents and make your own judgment about them.
- Marry someone your equal or better and honor that relationship.
- Walk a mile with someone. Spend quality time with others.
- Never judge. Instead say, “That could work.”
- Make your sponsoree your peer. Introduce to your colleagues.
- Fall upward. Use failures to develop character and learning. Careen forward.
- Ask yourself why you are afraid. Is it simply an unknown that you are facing?
- Build strong durable friendships.
- All that glitters is not gold. You can get more done on the fringes than at Harvard.
Edward, a member in the Medvale Breakfast Club, is an investor, physician executive, and entrepreneur who currently is the Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of PacificSouce Health Plans.
