“Doctors don’t need more time – they need better tools to communicate clearly and connect emotionally.” – Dr. Spencer Lalk

Ever felt like you were saying all the right things to a patient, but something just wasn’t landing? 

You’re not alone. 

Today’s guest, Dr. Spencer Lalk, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of MedStory Media, knows that gap well. 

In this inspiring conversation, he explains the power of storytelling in medicine, not as a buzzword, but as a bridge. A bridge between what we mean and what patients actually hear.

Dr. Lalk shares his own turning point moments and walks us through a framework he created to help physicians communicate more clearly, connect more deeply, and make their message truly stick.

He also reminds us why our personal stories matter – not just for connection, but for trust, impact, and healing.
