{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Fightmaster MD Audio","slug":"fightmastermd","podcastDescription":"A weekly treatise on committing to one’s heart instead of hiding inside a career of acclaim, acceptance, and complacency. \n\nIn 2022 at 33 years old, I left my career as a doctor, where I could earn $400,000 per year. I owed $200,000 in student loans. I quit because that life was killing me. And it wasn’t medicine’s fault. I have plenty of friends who love medicine, who love taking care of patients. It was my fault; I never wanted to be a doctor. I needed to find out what I wanted. My life was on the line. \n\nSince, I’ve started a furniture company. That was a surprising plot twist. And I write. Every Thursday, I pen an essay aimed at sharing what it took (and what it takes) to own a life I love, and share the audio version here. \n\nIf you’d like to join one of my free courses or check out other things (including books) that I’ve written, head over to my website https://fightmastermd.com/\n\nJoin my newsletter (https://fightmastermd.com/newsletter) and get first book for free today.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16025964/FightmasterMD_iTunes_Logo_zrxb2a.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16025964/FightmasterMD_iTunes_Logo_zrxb2a_1200x628.jpg?s=464eda13e36e989063e49e6fcb0b1bc9&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://fightmastermd.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/fightmastermd/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-xnhrz-f4896c","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":89,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Fightmaster MD","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-xnhrz-f4896c-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fightmaster-md-audio/id1675376372","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Ffightmastermd.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog16025964%26podcastIdTag%3Dxnhrz&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Ffightmastermd.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/0mONBfr3MVMbBKYtC2pebN","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/710136f9-b956-489a-bbe1-08280aca10c1","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/109787067","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3453774","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Samsung","link":null,"image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Samsung.png","title":"Search the podcast title on Samsung Podcast app."},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/fightmaster-md-audio-5167275","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
