What is the main message about the 'little extra' in life?
Everything that is worth in life is going to take that little extra. Every problem has a solution. Every person has a good side. Every issue has a commonality. The ability to identify what are my weaknesses, recognize that they are weaknesses, and work around them to me has given me more than understanding what my strengths are.
Welcome to Digital Voices, where healthcare and life science leaders explore the real work behind transformation. This podcast is about people, leadership, and the conversations that move healthcare forward. Now your host, Ed Marks.
Welcome to another edition of Digital Voices. Thanks for listening. I know you have a lot of choices, lots of great content out there, and you've chosen to spend time with us. And it's going to be amazing because I have Dr. Luis Garcia with us. Luis, welcome to Digital Voices.
Thank you for the invitation. Hi to everybody. Everybody is taking the time to listen to us. A great day here in Chicago. And Ed, let's go.
I love it. We met only recently. So we were together and I was like, wow, this is a super interesting leader and physician. And I was like, you have to be on my digital voices program and you're so amazing. Gracious to accept my invitation. And so, as you said, here we are and here we go. So the most important question, Luis, that we ask all of our guests is what songs are on your playlist? What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Well, let me try to answer that question, recognizing that I'm not necessarily a music man, but my playlist probably is a little bit boring to others. I have a combination of Spanish music and English music and mostly from the 80s. But if you allow me to share with you, I do have some favorite songs. And the reason why these two particular songs, for example, come to mind is because they meant something at a specific time in my life. And the first song that is definitely in my playlist is called Home. And it's a song by Philip Phillips. That song is about finding comfort and belonging, even when you are in unfamiliar territory. And it just so happened that, you know, it was in my late 40s, a single.
One of those personal gaps in your life that you're trying to find yourself and you feel stuck and you feel sad and you feel depressed. And God blessed me with putting my wife in my path. And And that song reminds us about the strength of our unity because it so happened that she was also going through a very difficult time. And so that's our song. And then also as a result of having met such a great human being like my wife, which, by the way, I'm a much better person of myself just because of her. And thankfully, we've been able to raise four beautiful children. Three of them are daughters. And that's where the second song comes about. And the song is called Girls, which is by Rachel Platten. And it's truly a love letter and prayer to her daughters.
She dedicated this to her daughters and it's truly about resilience, self-worth and strength and how do you navigate a very difficult world. not only as a female, but as a human being. And of course, when I'm raising three daughters, that song just really resonates with me.
Yeah, no, those are great examples because we, as our audience knows, we do have a Spotify playlist and we add from time to time all the recommendations that are made along the way. So we'll put that in the show notes just to remind people because, yeah, there's great music and there's always a story behind the song. So thank you for sharing. What about life message and mantra? Are there words that sort of guide you, how you live, how you operate?
You know, I got to start by saying that life has been so wonderful for me. And of course, we get to be where we're at with combination of success and sacrifice and tenacity and resilience and sometimes also a little bit of luck. Right. But if you allow me to share a couple of mantras from the professional standpoint, I always tell people that I that I mentor always to show up. You know, every day is an interview. And not only do you need to show every day, show up every day, but you need to show up on your A game because you never know when the next opportunity would come.
