Pre-HF: The Empowerment Formula with Zachery Dereniowski

Human First with Dr. Courtney Tracy

This week on The Truth Doctor Podcast, Dr. Courtney Tracy speaks with former college drop-out turned motivational speaker, Zachery Dereniowski! He went from a 0.59 GPA in his freshman year of college, to making a comeback with a 4.0 GPA and a 512 MCAT score on his first attempt. Now, by being publicly vulnerable about his experience, he is able to empower students who are in the same position he was.

Dr. Tracy and Zach talk about his formula of vulnerability = relatability = empowerment, him forming the Mental Health Movement Clothing Company with Jake Goodman, and his current journey with medical school and social media. They also discuss mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and how he hopes to break stigma and help others take control of their lives by putting themselves first.

You will definitely be able to relate to Zach’s story of self-discovery and we hope you enjoy this episode!
