You know those people who just exude peace as you spend time them? Or wisdom? Or love? Our guest for episode 56 is such a man…on all three accounts! Waco physician Dr. Hess (Previous guest in Episode 52) is with us again, zeroing in this episode on personal disciplinary habits and rhythms that help you maintain holistic health and build resilience while on the field. He shares about establishing and maintaining a rule of life, the value of personal retreats, spiritual direction, growing in self awareness, the value and necessity of being committed to transparency with family and team about your health - physical and/or mental - and more!

Burritt speaks as a physician, husband, father, and someone who’s living very thoughtfully, reflectively, and intentionally as a disciple of Jesus at home, work, and in his community.
