Episode 100 - This is a bittersweet episode for me, since it’s going to be my final podcast.  The last 2 years has been a phenomenal journey for all of us. I’ve gotten emails from so many of you telling me how valuable this content has been, and I’m so grateful to have been part of your journey.  I set out to create a platform to empower physicians to take control of their careers, their families, and their personal finances.  My hope was to embolden you with knowledge and encouragement so you can live your best life on your terms.  Now, after over 75,000 downloads, 100 weekly episodes, and 19 Sunday Specials, I hope I’ve given you some of those tools that you need.   That’s why I’m so excited about today’s discussion.  As physicians, I think we know better than anyone else what we need to take care of our patients.  The government isn’t coming to help us.  The government is full of people who don’t know or can’t understand how to care for patients because they’ve never had to do it.  You’re a physician. You should be the one in charge of making decisions for your patients.  If we’re going to make that a reality, we have to start by taking charge of ourselves.      Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show!   It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!

 Episode 98 -When did the phrase, “I’m busy” become a badge of honor?  I’ve been wrestling with this lately.  When did we get to a point when someone asks “How’s it going?” and we reply “It’s busy” like it’s something we’re proud of?  I think part of it comes from the mistaken impression the busy-ness equals accomplishment. It’s all too easy for us to get caught up in the idea that being busy means we’re getting stuff done, or that we’re accomplishing everything we want to do.  Sometimes being busy just means running around putting out fires and never getting to the things that actually matter to you. Today’s guest is going to teach us how to get “un-busy” so we can reclaim our time and our sanity and make room for the things that are truly important to us. It's time to get Unbusy.  Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show! It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!

Episode 87 - Today I’m going to do something a little different.  I’m bringing you two of my most popular talks from the recent Marriage and Money, M.D. Summit.  We had  over 1300 people register for the conference, and the speakers did an absolutely phenomenal job!  Today we ask, "Can you really have it all?" This first conversation is with Drs. Nii and Renée Darko.  They met in medical school and married after a 10-year courtship. When they realized they were drowning in almost $700,000 of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments, they made a pact to pay off their student loan debt in 15 years. In only 3 short years, not only were they free of student loan debt, but during their debt payoff, they cash flowed several rounds of infertility treatments and quit their jobs to become entrepreneurs, starting 3 businesses.  Our next speaker is Dr. Kate Mangona.   She and her husband Victor, are active and passive real estate investors in over 3 thousand multifamily units and single-family rentals and they lead a Multifamily Masterclass course where they teach others how to passively invest in real estate to grow their wealth as they sleep. Kate hosts the Medicine, Marriage & Money podcast and leads the Medicine, Marriage, & Money Coaching Program where she helps married women physicians with children spend less time arguing with their spouse, and more time reigniting the sparks once felt during their honeymoon.  Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show!

From his days as the student body president of his medical school to the teaching awards and randomized control trial publications as an attending physician. He even had a successful online business as a podcaster and course creator. But, on the inside, he was miserable. He constantly felt stuck. Burned out and overwhelmed, he kept looking for the next accomplishment or achievement to make him happy. Dr. Turner didn’t realize until much later that there is a name for this. It is called an Arrival Fallacy – The idea that the “next thing” would be what finally makes him happy. He felt trapped in a life he didn't want.  It was through mastering his mindset and his financial situation that he was finally able to live his life on his terms. Now, through coaching for physicians, Dr. Turner helps other doctors find the freedom he has found by helping them master their mindset, their money, and their balance.  Connect to Dr. Jimmy Tuner  Website: www.thephysicianphilosopher.com Alpha Coaching Experience: https://thephysicianphilosopher.com/coaching/

Sunday Special 18 - My guest today is Dr. Chiagozie Fawole.  You know, medicine is undergoing some changes.  There are a lot of physicians feeling burned out, unappreciated, and not in control.  You may feel like you’re coming from a place of desperation.  Desperate to be heard.  Desperate to have autonomy, desperate to practice medicine on your own terms, desperate to be in a position of financial security, desperate to have the family life that you want. A lot of physicians don't realize that their experiences, strengths and even network, can be the answer to their own prayers and those of others. That’s why I’m so excited to have Dr. Fawole on the podcast today.  She’s going to talk to us about her personal experiences and how what she’s learned can help you be the physician God has called you to be as well as some tips for how to become financially empowered and defeat burnout.
