Michael Johnson is an attorney and the founder of Michael Johnson Legal, a firm that works exclusively with physicians and physician groups to review contracts, negotiate fair compensation, and protect career freedom.
In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Michael to unpack one of the most overlooked yet high-stakes parts of practicing medicine: the employment contract. Together, they explore why doctors receive little to no training in negotiation, how “standard” contract clauses can be career-ending, and why more physicians need to challenge the status quo at the start of their careers as well as well into practice.
Michael shares insights on everything from non-competes and clawbacks to how doctors can start renegotiating even years after signing their first deal.

Mark Cuban is a business mogul, the “Shark” every entrepreneur wants to make a deal with, the former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and, most recently, an online pharmacy CEO. In 2022, Mark co-founded Cost Plus Drugs with the goal of lowering prescription drug prices. The direct-to-consumer company makes generic drugs affordable by cutting pharmacy benefit managers out of the distribution chain. But, once Mark starts talking about tackling the pharmaceutical market, you get the sense he has his sights set on an even bigger goal: reforming the healthcare system at large.
Offcall co-founder Graham Walker recently got the chance to interview Mark on How I Doctor, a podcast that explores the lives and careers of physicians who are practicing medicine differently. Mark, of course, is not a physician. But, as Graham notes, “I'm talking to him because I think he actually gives a damn about healthcare, and more importantly, he's doing something about it.”
Mark pulls no punches in this episode, and frames American healthcare as a David- and Goliath-style fight between good and bad actors.
Physicians are on the good team: “I happen to be a fan of people who save lives and make other people feel better, you know? Call me crazy.”
Who’s on the bad team? Anyone trying to game the system and extract money from it for their own benefit — insurance companies, hospitals, private equity firms, and others. “In healthcare, that $4.9 trillion wherever anybody can arbitrage whatever they can out of the system, that's exactly what they are going to do.”
With clarity of conviction and a hard-charging spirit, Mark shares his vision for how to fix healthcare.

Dr. Elisabeth Potter is a plastic surgeon and practice owner in Austin, Texas, who specializes in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
