From working the front desk in high school to a 15-year clinical career in orthopedics, launching a private practice, and stepping into executive leadership with an MBA.Matt shares the leadership lessons he’s learned along the way: why people-pleasing isn’t leadership, how honesty and accountability build trust, and why sustainable systems matter more than “burnout” narratives. The conversation also explores the realities physicians face in today’s healthcare environment; high expectations, limited room to fail, and systemic pressures that require advocacy and coalition-building.You’ll hear what brought Matt to KZA, how he views KZA’s consulting approach as “surgical” and actionable, and why he’s optimistic about the future of private practice; especially for leaders willing to be bold, stay curious, and “embrace their rebel.”","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2rWttDFzq2uzvMa6poKaDSvicdHxoBc8FnW_IBpMNJI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNDll/ZDc4NWIwMDk1N2Jl/MDU2MzZkZGVmOWI2/ZjkyYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
