On the podcast, Dr. Wang explores her philosophy on medicine, but also discusses the joys and pains entrepreneurship, the importance of learning, and how we all should set lofty goals because we truly can achieve them with the right mindset.   Moving Quotes: \u201cAnything is possible. Your life has a wide gambit of possibilities. Don\u2019t narrow yourself or pigeon-hole yourself based on everything you see around you." \u201cNinety percent of knowledge is experiential. You don\u2019t learn it in a book. You don\u2019t learn it in a classroom. You learn it by doing. By being on stage. By practicing. Don\u2019t overestimate your own knowledge." \u201cThe only way small businesses survive is by being ethical. By being honest. By allowing a business to reflect who we are. If we\u2019re not honest people that aren\u2019t dedicated to integrity, the business will reflect that and won\u2019t survive." \u201cAs doctors, many times, we\u2019re pigeon-holed with what we\u2019re taught, and we don\u2019t look at the evidence that\u2019s widely available\u2026 But we have to move beyond what we\u2019re taught and question, so that we can improve." \u201cAt the end of the day, as a female entrepreneur, we don\u2019t get to complain. We just have to find solutions. It\u2019s the same in business. You find solutions." \u201cThat\u2019s part of the resiliency of being a dancer; you just have to find a way [to make aches feel better]. How are you going to make this feel better? How are you going to feel better? That\u2019s how my journey started." \u201cAs one entrepreneur to another, you know that it is the biggest, wildest journey of your life."   Bullet Points (w\/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 3:20: Dr. Wang discusses her practice \u2014 Tupelo Pointe Healing Arts \u2014 and the holistic approach it takes to treating dancers. 8:13: Dr. Wang explains how dancers can best know when something is wrong with their bodies and gives some advice on preventing injury. 11:27: Dr. Wang discusses the importance of dance teachers becoming educated on how to best support their dancers from a physiological perspective. 16:29: Dr. Wang shares some advice on finding and attaining a career in the dance industry, while not necessarily being directly on the stage. 20:37: Dr. Wang describes her involvement with the American Medical Women\u2019s Association \u2014 the oldest existing women in medicine foundation in the United States. 23:14: Dr. Wang explains her involvement with dance medicine journals and encourages listeners to read those articles and become educated on this high-quality research. 25:43: Dr. Wang describes the difficult and rewarding journey that is entrepreneurship and how building your own business directly impacts the lives of those who take that road. 28:38: Dr. Wang discusses the difficulties of being a female entrepreneur but explains the silver lining on this often-frustrating vocation. 32:59: Dr. Wang shares some aspirations for her own business and for dance medicine as a whole.   Bullet List of Resources \u2013  Dr. Tina J.
