Episode 064 | In episode 063, you heard me as a guest on The DermBiz Show. In this episode, the tables are turned, so your view just got a lot better!

Joining me in this episode are two people who live at the crossroads of medicine, media, and real life—Tony Jackson, the brains behind The DermBiz Show and strategist in all things dermatology business, and his wife and business partner, Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo, a board certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon whose own reality TV show on TLC — Dr. Mercy — brought the world an up close and personal view of some extraordinary cases and exemplary doctor-patient relationships full of heart and empathy.

On Dr. Mercy, which ran on TLC, her rapport with patients, and the real-world impact of dermatologic care—she wasn’t just treating skin conditions; she was changing lives and reshaping how people think about what we do as doctors. But that’s just one part of her story…

Dr. Mercy is part of dynamic duo. Enter her husband and business partner, Tony Jackson: former NFL player, business expert, and co-pilot on their wild ride of practice building, podcasting, and storytelling — not to mention building a beautiful family all the while. Now that’s what I call taking care of patients and taking care business.

In this episode, we explore building an independent dermatology practice rooted in intentional, authentic hospitality and strong culture.

We discuss why the small details matter, how leadership shapes experience, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people so everyone can shine.

If you’re interested in independent medicine, entrepreneurship, and creating successful a practice that feels truly human, this episode is for you.
