In this episode, Dr. Marc Kowalski shares his journey from growing up in sunny Florida to becoming one of the leading orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons in Connecticut. As a former athlete himself, Dr. Kowalski gives us a behind-the-scenes look at caring for athletes—from treating ACL tears to supporting their mental health during recovery.
He and Dr. Francu explore what it means to balance medicine, family, and self-care in a demanding surgical career. Dr. Kowalski talks about the lessons he’s learned from failure, including how being cut from his college football team led to a lifelong passion for rugby and a fulfilling medical career caring for players across all levels—even Team USA.
Listeners will hear powerful insights on resilience, balance, and success, as well as practical advice for young people considering a career in medicine. Dr. Kowalski also discusses financial discipline, professional burnout, and the importance of self-awareness and emotional intelligence in medicine.
