In Episode 4: Dr Jen Barna on Risk-taking, Visibility, and Embracing Failure

Welcome back to another interview on Serving it HOT! This week, I spoke with Dr. Jen Barna, practicing radiologist and founder and CEO of DocWorking.com. DocWorking is a platform that specializes in coaching physicians by bringing the best coaches in the industry together onto one team. In 2016, she started her business, Qelse, which is an ecommerce boutique that creates designer walker/mobility bags, stroller bags and caddies.

I was particularly excited to chat with Jen because of her combination of experience in medicine and the entrepreneurial world. Together we discussed:

  • How her learnings in medicine translated to entrepreneurship — and the areas where she needed to think differently

  • Why she's so passionate about supporting physicians

  • Creating a space that encourages empathy and vulnerability

  • How her views on failure have evolved over time

  • Time spent strategizing vs executing

and a whole lot more!
