Curiosity Changed My Life! w/ Dr. Randall Craft (S1 EP03)

Dr. Randall Craft is a Harvard-trained plastic surgeon, founder of CraftMD, and social media educator in the aesthetics space. He grew up in a humble Appalachian community where college wasn’t even on the radar. Unlike many parents, his parents often encouraged him to tone down his ambition. While Dr. Craft never faced pressure to live up to expectations, his curiosity became his greatest driving force.

That curiosity took him to world-class institutions like Georgetown, Oxford, and Harvard. In this episode, he opens up about navigating culture shock, embracing grit, and growing up as a gay man in the 90s. Juliet and Dr. Craft explore the power of internal motivation, the importance of letting kids develop self-awareness, and how life’s messy challenges can lead to unexpected success.

They also dive into Dr. Craft’s artistic side, how creativity influences his surgical practice, and the delicate balance between parenthood and professional aspirations. Juliet shares her own journey of becoming Chief Communications Officer at FetTech.
