Episode 196: Turning Burnout Into Adventure with Dr. Kelly Wright
Description
Harvard-trained surgeon. Sustainability expert. Marathoner. Points-and-miles strategist.
Dr. Kelly Wright is redefining what it means to live a full, balanced life.
In this episode, Ben Glass sits down with Dr. Wright — Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai and founder of Points and Miles Doc — to explore how high achievers can fight burnout, build better boundaries, and use the power of travel to recharge and stay inspired.
They unpack:
- How doctors (and lawyers) can avoid the trap of overwork and exhaustion
- Why creating “multiple realms” in life keeps you grounded and resilient
- How to turn your business expenses into first-class travel experiences
- The biggest mistakes people make with points — and how to fix them
- Why decarbonizing healthcare and sustainable travel actually align
Ben and Kelly also swap marathon stories, share how small habits protect your joy, and talk about the importance of pursuing passions outside your profession.

What Makes The GLM Tribe Special?
In short, we are the only organization within the "business builder for lawyers" space that is led by two practicing lawyers.
One thing we're sure you've noticed is that despite the variety of options within our space, no one else is mixing
the actual practice of law with business building in the way that we are.
There are no other organizations who understand the highs and lows of running a small law firm and are engaged in talking to real clients. That is what sets GLM apart from every other organization, and it is why we have had loyal members that have been with us for two-decades.
