“I am going to be who I am. Unapologetically.” Dr. Ian Smith made a conscious decision long ago that he didn’t mind being the odd man out, doing his own thing, not following tradition, even while becoming a doctor. He says his philosophy has served him well—he’s always comfortable with who he is. But he’s had to deal with uncomfortable situations. He shares with Jeanne how he bounced back from his biggest career setback, what he learned from his beloved grandfather that still rings true today, why a support system is key to survival, how cutting across the grain feeds your passions, how being an identical twin shaped his life, and why your job title isn’t your identity.
