[REPLAY] S4, Episode 31: Jon Appino- The First 5 Commandments of Employment Contracts

Today, we are going to focus on physician employment contracts and chat with Jon Appino, the CEO of Contract Diagnostics.

As a matter of fact, this is Jon's SECOND time on the show. This interview was recorded all the way back 2 years ago in the summer of 2016--- it inspired the contracts section of The Young Physician's Guide to Money & Life.

Jon obtained his BS in Biology and Chemistry with a Pre-med focus. After deciding on a business career over medicine, he has spent the past 15+ years working in various-sized companies and start-ups in the healthcare field. He completed his MBA in 2004 and launched his most recent company, Contract Diagnostics, in 2011. He is passionate about the education of Physicians with regards to the non-clinical (business) aspects of medicine.

What I think is pretty neat about this company is that Contract Diagnostics offers a wide range of review packages with price points starting at only a few hundred bucks with flexible payment plans for Residents and Fellows as they complete their training.

Enjoy the podcast with Jon Appino!

In this podcast, you will...

• Discover the 3 parts of physician employment contracts
• How to compare in terms of compensation/geographic location why public data is DRAMATICALLY FLAWED
• Where there are discrepancies in data for a particular specialty
• The first 5 commandments of employment contracts

[REPLAY] S4, Episode 28: Another Perspective on Land Flipping with Seth Williams, The RE Tipster

More than a few times, you may have heard about my latest adventures inland flipping, but don't take my word for it...

In this podcast, I welcome the one and only RE Tipster aka Seth Williams.

This ruggedly handsome fella has been in the biz of real estate and land flipping over the last decade and his approach is in some ways very similar to mine, but also has some very stark contrasts.

What I love about his content is that it is raw and real. He provides TONS of content on the do's and don'ts of land flipping and real estate in general. He isn't afraid to tell us about how hard it is to work this business---- especially when you get started out.

He has countless blog posts that help guide us and direct us on how to get there.

Needless to say, I was very geeked out and honored to spend some time with him chatting about flippin' dirt.

 

In this podcast, you will discover...

• How he got into the land investing business during the 2008 crash
• Where he first invested in land and why he started there (Hint: It was a capital problem)
• Why his advice is "the best deals are the ones you don't do"
• How much he invested and made in his first deal
• Find out what list that he started with (and what he avoided)
• What response rate he gets on average

[REPLAY] S4, Episode 25: Top 5 Podcasts of 2017- #3 How To Acquire a Private Practice and Real Estate In One Easy Transaction (And The Pitfalls to Avoid)

This June we are focusing our attention on the Top 5 Podcasts that we had in 2017. They are a great mix of topics from real estate, taxes, and the ever-popular side hustle.

Here are the notes and resources from this episode:

 

In these podcasts, we’ve interviewed experts of all kinds- debt, burnout, real estate, and taxes.

I thought, hey it’s about time we found a tax guy again and so, I go out there and do a search.

That’s where I found our next guest. He is a CPA and he is the co-host of a podcast- however, he doesn’t prepare personal taxes.

He is a comedian on the side- a comedian and a CPA, talk about complete opposites, right? He’s shared the stage with Weird Al, Christ Kattan, and Rob Schneider to name a few.

Anyhow, like I said he doesn’t prepare personal taxes- instead he is a controller and general manager of some medical office buildings.

What’s so interesting about his day gig- is that he sees a lot of issues with succession planning and buying and selling private practices. So, I know we’re going to gain some really great insights today!

Please help me welcome Greg Kyte the controller and general manager for the Utah Valley Physicians Plaza.

In this podcast you will:

• Discover the creative way he conducts commercial real estate without using realtors
• Learn different ways to structure purchasing deals in real estate
• Find out how to protect yourself with earns outs versus notes
• Learn Greg's big piece of business advice (HINT: It may not be what you would expect)

Welcome back to our monthly fireside chat with a physician to get to know their journey, their joys, and their struggles with finances and outside of finances.

I was immediately drawn to this episode, as it was titled, "This doctor had it all, but didn't want it."

She was a top performer in medical school, and then got to the point of struggling with whether or not she wanted to be in clinical medicine. Fresh out of residency, she decided she not.

In this interview today, we’re going to talk about her journey and successful transition, because now she is helping other physicians do this as well.

Please help me welcome Dr. Michelle Mudge-Riley from Physicians Helping Physicians. Welcome, Michelle!   

In this podcast you will:

• Discover what led Dr. Mudge-Riley away from clinical medicine into helping other physicians who also want to escape clinical medicine.
• Be inspired on how taking the road less traveled can lead to the greatest successes.
