S3, Episode 25-Top 3 Financial Blogs for Doctors [That You Haven’t Heard Of]
Friday May 07, 2021
Friday May 07, 2021
In the world of crazy content, there are so many of us writing and podcasting and blogging that well… we’re awfully hard to keep track of.
Let’s talk through a few that we’ve already had on the show…
The vast majority of us know about The White Coat Investor. You can listen to an interview with him in The Revolution of the White Coat Investor (season 2- episode 30?) and on his podcast.
You’ve probably heard my friend, Bo Liu- FutureProof MD. You can listen to not one, but two interviews with him in Season 2. (May 2016 and November 2016).
Amanda Liu, Dr Wise Money, was also featured in the middle of Season 2 (May or June 2016).
Most recently I had on the amazing PhysicianOnFire (Season 3 episode).
But there’s a ton of other bloggers with content that is just as good and has a bit of a spin on it. If you’re wanting a fresh perspective, I have some good news for you!
That’s why today I want to draw your attention to a few bloggers that are doing really good work.
In this podcast you will:
- Explore the different ways that these physicians were able to reduce their debt
- Learn ways to pay off your debt faster than you ever thought possible
- Discover where you can make up to double your current salary (HINT: You may need a warmer wardrobe.)

In this episode with Cory Fawcett, MD... 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.
This show is not always about actionable content. It is however a chance for you to see behind the curtains, to walk in another person’s shoes and experience their lives.
Our next guest is a man on a mission; to teach doctors how they can live healthy, happy, and debt-free lives–to regain control of their practice, their time, and their finances. He is making an effort to improve the lives of his colleagues.
His first book, The Doctors Guide to Starting Your Practice Right, is all about this mission. Helping doctors find their dream practice and get off on the right foot. His mission continues with the release of his second book, The Doctors Guide to Eliminating Debt.
The lack of surgeons in rural areas and his desire to work less led him to the decision to retire from his twenty-year practice, in a town with ten general surgeons, and assist in underserved areas. In February 2014 he began working part-time in rural Oregon towns with only one or two surgeons. With just one surgeon in town, the call burden of 24/7 availability is unsustainable. Dr. Fawcett provides them with a needed break from their pager, helping to keep rural surgeons healthy.
I can’t wait to hear about this journey!
Please help me welcome Dr. Cory Fawcett. Welcome, Cory!
In this podcast, you will...
- Discover why his parents didn't talk about money, but yet had an influence on being debt-free
- Learn how his grandparents inspired him to invest in real estate & the journey they had with debt
- How he automated the process of real estate investing and managed 64 units while being a full-time practicing physician
- Why did he decide to turn over the properties to a property manager
- The downfalls of property management (Hint: There are some activities that they can't do! Discover which ones inflated his costs)
- Discover why he doesn't think residents should NOT get in real estate and rent instead & why he believes they will lose money
- How he purchased properties with no money down and what he would do if he started all over again as a resident with $300k of student debt
- Learn about the biggest financial mistake he made and how a real estate agent talked him into it
- What he does with 'penciling it in' and how he makes good decisions about real estate that cash flows

Earlier this year, I made a promise to you. I promised I would get more folks and more experts to talk about real estate and their experiences in it.
Our next guest was armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience… he bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001.
Today Mark is the owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company, and has been buying and selling land full time since 2001. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,000 land deals.
Prior to his land investing success, he had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped & burned out.
Our next guest’s success in land investing is to teach, coach, and mentor others to help them achieve their financial goals and probably for himself to make some money along the way too.
Please help me welcome Mark Podolsky, The Land Geek.
In this podcast episode, you will...
- Discover how he moved from a soulless corporate job to the entrepreneurial journey that he loves
- Learn why he flips raw land
- Discover the tax consequences of his flipping and how owner financing is involved (Hint: There's a downside involving depreciation)
- Learn about the difference between a tax lien and a tax deed (& the hybrid method)
- Why owner financing is amazing to generate cash flow
- Learn who the best buyers are for your land that you want to flip (Hint: Your backup is a 'little' website you may not have heard of before)

It is written by none other than Tim Ferriss.

S3, Episode 16- Are You Batman or Superman?
Friday Mar 05, 2021
Friday Mar 05, 2021
Whether you are dark and brooding or you are a scion of justice with an S on your chest, I would put most physicians into one of two categories.
Either… you are a Superman or Batman.
What do I mean by that?
Certainly, there are Wonder Women and Green Lanterns. I know our Marvel Fans are hating me right now because of course there are grizzled Wolverines, weather-changing Storms, powerful Captain Marvels, high-flying Tony Starks, righteous Captain America, and your friendly neighborhood Spidermen.
However, for the purpose of this discussion- humor me here- as a physician either you are Superman or Batman.
Let me explain more.
In this podcast, you will...
- Discover Why I think Every Physician Is Either a Batman or a Superman
- How The Role of Money Shaped Superheroes and May Shape You As Well
- Learn the 3 Books that All Superman Physicians Should Read
- Why Superman Physicians May Have a Kryptonite. Learn What It Is.
- Discover The Awesome Resources That I Recommend for Batman Physicians
