A conversation with Dr. Nisha Mehta, MD

I joined Dr. Nisha Mehta, MD, founder of Physician Side Gigs, on Inside the Doctor's Lounge. The episode, published November 10, 2026, runs just over an hour. The title is "How Physicians Can Use AI to Innovate and Build Businesses, with Dr. Harvey Castro."

You can watch it on YouTube, listen on Apple Podcasts, listen on Spotify, or open the episode page.

What we discussed

We talked about how physicians can use artificial intelligence in their personal, professional, and entrepreneurial lives to buy back time, identify areas for innovation, and move faster on business ideas.

The official episode notes describe practical ways to use AI as a thought partner and productivity multiplier, including administrative work, professional relationships, content, and research. They also cover starting simple, then adding more advanced tools and automation, while staying aware of the risk of becoming overly dependent on AI.

The notes also mention business lessons along the way, including the value of strategic partnerships, financial expertise, negotiation skills, and surrounding yourself with people who complement your strengths, as well as early ChatGPT adoption and a personal brand as DR GPT™.
