Ok this is literally GOLD! The quality of the video, audio, questions, host attitude, and the guest personality, OMG this is something this is really something. I gotta say I’m here before the 1 million.
Dr Okusanya, you are the spitting image of your father, who coincidentally was my Project supervisor at the university. It is a very interesting interview. The eloquence, diction, and mastery are top-notch. You are an extremely meticulous, brilliant, hardworking, and humble guy. Amazingly compassionate about your profession. Your ability to draw a healthy balance between your job and family is admirable. Kudos and I use this opportunity to salute Doctors for their sacrifice. May God bless you all
This is SUCH a high quality interview in every way! Dr Okusanya had such good points and I was invested all the way through. I love your new setup and cannot wait for more interviews!
I am a family physician working in Singapore and it warms my heart to see so many brilliant doctors on your podcast totally in love with their work . I am not brilliant but my life's motive has always been to be a very good doctor and it makes me feel good that all the great doctors on your podcast all share this trait. Keep up the amazing work man.
18 years completely focused in one path takes true dedication and knowing exactly what your after, you set your waypoints and try not to deviate. However, starting at 18 years and done at 36 is actually young age with huge accomplishments, most people at 36 can’t even land a good job or have little to no skills.
As a pre-medical student, I found this video incredibly inspiring. Dr. Okusanya's passion for learning, medicine, and dedication to self-actualization is both captivating and motivating. His commitment to excellence and personal growth serves as a powerful example for all aspiring medical professionals. One key takeaway for me is that while intelligence and knowledge are essential for all doctors, it is the passion, grit, and ability to connect with others that distinguish a good doctor from an exceptional one who truly changes lives. Thank you both for this wonderful content!
Good morning listening to this interview has made me feel comfortable 😌 that my life would be safe hands with this doctor. Fifteen years of self commitment with Education Efficiency to reach the levels that this gentleman has is reassuring. Thank you bless you❤❤😊
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 USA 🇺🇸 this gentleman's academic efficiency is outstanding. With all that he commends his wife for her proficiency also. Should all cardiologists meet this gentleman's standards the world 🌎 ♥ has so much to offer when opportunities happen. What a good listen, especially with a highly skilled interviewer. Thanks Zach. nb: recently retired 68 year old Maori nurse. Arohanui ❤❤😊
Loved this conversation. He’s extremely intelligent and you can tell he’s a great physician. He reminds me so much of the surgeons I know, which is cool lol. Really enjoying your podcast!
This is the one. Thanks for putting it together for all of us new med students and new residents. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel, and the smile on this guy’s face proves it.
Immediately he said the name, I had to check description and I saw he's Nigerian as I suspected 😅.. I'm just entering my 3rd year and final preclinical year and this is highly motivating to me as a Nigerian med student
Ohhh my goodness!!!! This podcast is such a gem. Being there on my watch later list for almost a year, now I feel so so happy that I actually watched it. Such a perfect talk it is. Dr. Okusanya is truly an inspiration. Applying this year for general surgery residency and been in an academic institute doing a clinical rotation, the things I felt is what he spoke with such a great compassion. He's journey to self-actualization is really really great. A perfect podcast. I did not even notice how quickly I was at the end of the podcast. Thank you Zach for bringing this out for us.
I just finished the video and i hope it wouldn't end up !! Dr okusanya was just amazing ... his positive vibes and energy are of another level ... despite all the difficulties he went through , he stills love what he is doing and encouraging people to follow their dreams , which not common in the world of surgery !! My dream is to become a surgeon too ... and in 3 months i would pass the final exam to enter to residency ... and this video just showed up in the write moment, thanks alot for both of you !!
Every single interview is an actual masterpiece! I watched every video, a few repeats, and this is my 3rd time watching Dr.Okusanya interview. This man is absolutely at peace, ready to take the next challenge head first! What an amazing group of doctors we have at Jefferson! Im applying this cycle, and Jefferson is top in my list. 🤞 even if I don’t get in for medical school, residency in Philadelphia with these doctors would be an absolute dream. Im working in neurointerventional right now, but im more and more interested in my interventional cardiology colleges, and now to the field of both cardiac and thoracic surgery! Hopefully in a year I’ll look back at this post, with an acceptance 🙏
The trade off here, is that you have no social life whatsoever. It is you, the patients and the hospital. Just did not work for me. I respect my colleagues who took it all the way.
Follow up: Apparently there were racist comments made about Dr. Okusanya at UPMC by a department head that were recorded. I hope he sued the pants off them!
You sacrifice a lot to become a CT Surgeon... part of that sacrifice is your medical knowledge... You lose a lot of practical medical ability becoming a heart proceduralist.
what a fail of an intro. does all that talking about his accomplishments then the first he lets him respond is "if you did it again would you do it differently! herrr derrr" like honestly. no class. at least welcome the guest ffs.
Ok this is literally GOLD! The quality of the video, audio, questions, host attitude, and the guest personality, OMG this is something this is really something. I gotta say I’m here before the 1 million.
Dr. Okusanya is a stellar guest that I was lucky to have, thanks!

Idk why this interview was in my algorithm but I’m glad it was. Great interview! 🫡

Fantastic interview! Dr. Okusanya is so charismatic, I could’ve listened to you guys talk for hours
What a great gentleman, hope he will not burn out too soon and his enthusiasm, momentum keeps him going, hallelujah!
There is only one god
Hearing him speak, he has positivity all around !
I would love to see an interview with a pediatric surgeon. Great questions :)
Noted!
Dude I thought this was a Tyler the creator interview for a second lol
He is so smart. Valuable conversation
I love this man, true commitment to the field
the juice is definitely worth the squeeze
Come to islam, believe in one god bro
So I’m the only one who sees Tyler the Creator?
Came here to say this
😭😭😭😭😭
Shadowing a cardiothoracic surgeon tomorrow and this was so, so helpful! You both are amazing and inspiring.
Thank you so much for having this Interview! I'll keep coming back to this.
One of the BEST Podcast deliveries I have heard. Brilliant.
What an incredible human being! Please bring also an inspiring anaesthesiologist !
Wow. So much wisdom! Excellent interview and well worth the time and I am not a med student nor doctor!
A black brother in the field, i love seeing black people in medicine! Thank you for this interview!
Just had to bring race into it.
@@timas2791 why does that bother you?
@@timas2791if this is your mentality and you’re interested in medicine, that’s a yikes
@@dasiamonetbecause you have to remind people of racism and differences . Racism will disappear when you forget about it .
@@AshrafOsama-p8ino one mentioned racism but you. And it’s stupid to believe racism disappears just because you ignore it lmao
This guys a medical student with a show like this? Very rare. Reminds me of that doctor mike guy. The look and ability to talk. Interesting.
Exactly what I needed to see! Hopefully you get the chance to do a Neurosurgeon at some point.
What a great interview. I enjoyed listening to him.
Zach these interviews are great!!
Thanks so much!
Excellent and inspiring conversation.
Such an insightful talk...Even for a non medical student✨✨
Yeah he gives good life tips here as well
A great interview.
What an inspirational persona!! Great interview
he is more qualified then i will ever be even in 10 reincarnations
Absolutely amazing bro, could you do one with an orthopedic surgeon please?
This was amazing! I aspire to be a CT surgeon and this was so insightful. Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Wow this was great ! 🤩
Thank you! My guest was really fantastic here.
Wow watching this is just firing me up, especially knowing he is a Nigerian like me. I need to do more!
Same here!
I'm confused. So he did 5 years general surgery, 2 chief years, 2 research years, and then 2 years fellowship? Dang that's much more than I expected.
Oh this is a brilliant, brilliant person
This is a great interview, you can tell doc is well educated
This was a great interview! Wow his wow is also a doctor
Wait, how many years did it take for Dr. Okusayna to become a cardiothoracic surgeon? Did he say 18?
18 years of higher education and training yea
@@TheZachHighleyshow thank you!:) I love this podcast 💕♥️
What a beautiful interview
Thank you for this fantastic interview
He gives me a Ben Carson vibes
Absolutely amazing
Tyler the creators pops😂
Some interviews with female surgeons would be cool to see
Hey you can check out my neurosurgery interview, urology interview, and OB-GYN interview, but more to come!
Tyler, the creator, is that you?
great video !! plastic surgeon ASAP please !
On it!
The trade off here, is that you have no social life whatsoever. It is you, the patients and the hospital. Just did not work for me. I respect my colleagues who took it all the way.
The introduction burst my head
Great podcast! 🫶🏻
My good friend Shawn ( Dr Doans) was a heart surgeon. He got killed in a car accident.
Awesome
He is!
Is there one with neurologist?
I'd like to hear more about why Dr. Okusanya left UPMC. I've heard rumors but haven't gotten the full story yet but im working on it. 😅
Follow up: Apparently there were racist comments made about Dr. Okusanya at UPMC by a department head that were recorded. I hope he sued the pants off them!
Amazing interview :)
This was so good
When did Tyler the creator become a surgeon?
I like this style...
Thank you!
Why is this literally Tyler the Creator
He looks like a cross between Tyler the Creator and Ben Carson
WOW!
That name is Yoruba Nigerian! Lovely!
I thought you were interviewing Tyler the Creator for a second
Tyler the doctor
😢
Next time ask their salary
A black JOB!! 🎉🎉
Trump.. lol
“Is the juice worth the squeeze?”
Tyler the creator in another universe...great podcast tho...amazing guy
I would love to see an interview with a black female cardio thoracic surgeon
Wtf that is tyler the creator
Why tf do you look like Tyler The Creator's dad?
You sacrifice a lot to become a CT Surgeon... part of that sacrifice is your medical knowledge... You lose a lot of practical medical ability becoming a heart proceduralist.
