I’m David Birchmore. I spent over 25 years in healthcare before I left to build my own businesses. Now I help other healthcare professionals do the same.
If you’re a clinical healthcare professional who’s burned out or thinking about leaving, this show is for you.
Each week you’ll hear from people who made the jump: how they decided, what they did next, and what it takes to leave and start over.
New episodes every week.
What if the life you want has nothing to do with building a bigger business and everything to do with thinking differently?
In this episode of Get A Shift On, David Birchmore speaks with entrepreneur and solopreneur mentor Moe Choice, who has built 12 businesses and now helps people create genuine independence through business ownership.
Together they explore why so many people stay stuck, how fear shapes our decisions, why changing your narrative changes your future, and the three reasons most entrepreneurs fail.
Expect an honest conversation about independent thinking, communication, sales, leadership, personal growth, mindset and building a business that supports the life you actually want.
If you’re considering career change, starting a business or becoming self-employed, this episode is packed with practical insight and refreshing honesty.
