There’s the part of the case that gets documented… And then there’s the part you only learn from being in the room. In this clip, Dr. Jaafer Golzar shares one of the little details that makes deployment smoother, and why the proximal edge might be the spot you’re not paying enough attention to.

Some decisions don’t need a second opinion. In this clip, Dr. Lucas Ferrer lays out the kind of case that makes you stop and think... no vein, multiple stents, relines, and why new tools are starting to shift what’s possible when bypass isn’t on the table. It’s the kind of moment that happens off-mic all the time. We just happened to hit record. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #72.
There’s a reason the peroneal gets so much attention in these cases. When you’re rebuilding flow from almost nothing, the details aren’t extra, they’re the difference.

You used to have to travel for the best clinical education.Now? It can be YouTube and a cup of coffee. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Jaafer Golzar, interventional cardiologist, endovascular specialist, and Director of Limb Salvage at Advocate Trinity Hospital, to talk about the shift he’s seeing up close.

This episode is a look at what’s really changing on the ground, and what that means for the people doing the work. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #72.
Some surgeons marry fellow physicians, while others choose someone completely outside the world of medicine. Both dynamics can work (and both can fall apart...) As James Sexton puts it, the traits that attract us at the beginning are often the same ones we struggle with down the line. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #70.
Not all growth looks like scaling. Sometimes it looks like restraint. Before founding ICHOR Vascular, Tim Blair had years of experience in leadership, but it wasn’t until he stepped into entrepreneurship that he realized how much he still had to learn. How to stay calm under pressure, how to move through systems without blowing them up, and most importantly, how to be effective without being explosive.

What if the most important line in your company… was in your bylaws? When Tim Blair started ICHOR Vascular, he made one thing clear from day one, and he built it around a rule most founders wouldn’t dare write down: No as*holes allowed. And it’s saved his company more than once. In this week’s episode, Tim breaks down what culture actually means at the startup stage, how this rule shows up in million-dollar decisions, and why founders who ignore “fit” often pay the price later.

You’d think the skill that makes someone a great surgeon would also make them great at marriage. And in some ways, it does. But as James Sexton explains, being able to delay gratification isn’t always enough when your job demands everything. All the long hours, emotional exhaustion, and constant pressure from work follow you home (and sometimes, they slowly chip away at the relationship you were building...)
