Wow! To hear my old friend and colleague was doing a podcast definitely caught me off guard. And then, Bill, I started listening. And relating. And the more I heard, the more I wanted to hear. Our stories are different, yet parallel in so many ways that it is uncanny. We are struggling to stay whole in a very broken culture. You are opening the door to cultural change. I have devoured every episode since I learned of Journey to Better five months ago. And I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you... more

As an interventional cardiologist, I had seen Dr. Lombardi at conferences and was completely in awe of his skills as a CTO operator. However, he has completely taken cardiology and being a doctor to the next level in this podcast. His episodes have helped me to regain my humanity and combat burnout that has been rampant in our field.
