Welcome to the Zach Highley Show, where we discuss personal growth and medicine to figure out how to improve our lives. My name is Zach and I’m a medical student, and soon to be physician, in Philadelphia. Throughout these episodes I’ll interview top performers from around the world in business, life, and medicine in hopes of extracting the resources and techniques they use to get to the top.
The best way to help the show is share episodes on any platform. If you think a friend or family member will like a certain episode, send it to them!

Wow, what an incredible guy. Very very humble and down to earth. Very inspiring to hear as someone who will also be a non traditional

It’s certainly a long and hard road from higher secondary school to gen surgery. Several years of hard work, timeless days and sleepless nights , preparing for the exams, emergency room, ORs , clinics and so on. Yet the work is fulfilling and rewarding.

“I have to do….” vs. “I get to do….” is crucial 😂😂❤

What a genius! His advice at the end is incredible.

Great episode! I'm an incoming med student, and listening to the advice at 1:10:00 was very helpful. I've constantly heard how important it is to do a bunch of research in med school, but it was nice to hear some actionable advice for how to actually get good at that. I'm definitely going to look into learning Python or something like that!

I like and have watched many of these videos from this channel but this one was by far the toughest to follow. He seemed to jump over the journey and struggles. One day he's in a special ed school and next thing he's a surgeon.
