## Resource

Welcome to 2026. After some time off, family chaos, and whatever that weird stretch between Christmas and New Year’s actually is, The American Pharaoh and Cuff Daddy are back on the mics—catching up, resetting, and getting back into the rhythm of the show. This episode is exactly what it sounds like: Life updates Work updates What the break reminded us about medicine, burnout, and balance Why routine matters more than resolutions And why this pod works best when we just show up and talk No big agenda. No hot takes forced for the algorithm. Just two surgeons reconnecting, recalibrating, and easing back into the conversations that made I’m a Podstar, Not a Doctor what it is.
