S9 Ep20: Doctor Creators Share Their Amazing Journey Ft. Dr. Lydie & Dr. Hazal

Gordon is joined by London-based duo Dr. Lydie and Dr. Hazal — doctors, founders and twenty-something entrepreneurs—who met in 2017 while applying to medical school. Coming from low socioeconomic, state-school backgrounds, they bonded over the inequalities in access to guidance and decided to document their journey to help others navigate both getting into medical school and sustaining the demanding five-year degree. They share how that honest, “show the full picture” approach built a loyal community and translated into a successful creator business, including brand partnerships with names like Dell, Post Office (a trip to Turkey) and Philips. The conversation explores the upsides and pressures of social media, with their reminder that “the grass is greener wherever you water it” and the importance of digital detoxes for mental health. Hazel and Lydia also discuss getting into property investing early through disciplined saving and relentless learning. Finally, they look ahead: growing their podcast into a network for ambitious women, expanding property portfolios, and experimenting unapologetically throughout their twenties.
