In this episode, they talk about their parallel paths from the East Coast to Colorado, their shared musical background, and how they balance both call schedules and band rehearsals.

They also unpack the inspiration behind their podcast, Crescendo de Crescendo, a thoughtful series about how medicine and music inform and elevate each other. This episode blends passion, purpose, and practical advice for any clinician exploring life beyond the white coat.

This collaboration inspired the creation of the podcast Crescendo de Crescendo, which he co-hosts with Dr. Sam.​
