Our next guest is a periodontist. He was a solo practitioner who asked himself some key questions that changed his direction.
- What if I became injured? ( I like to ski and play tennis!)

It broke my heart.
Unfortunately, he's not the only one. There have been dozens of cases of athletes running out of money despite earning tens of millions of dollars.

I started reading and reading and reading some more. I checked out some specific stories that I think would be helpful to you. I identified 5 specific lessons that we can take away from athletes that go broke.

S2 Episode 43: When I Was Fat & Unhappy

For the whole podcast, resources, and tons of free stuff, make sure to visit www.doctorfreedompodcast.com
May I have your permission to share a struggle that I’ve had?
May I have your permission to share something incredibly personal, something private that not many folks know about?
It was nearly 4 years ago when my wife and I were going through some incredibly hard times. Evangeline was in the hospital and my oldest daughter was starving for attention.
On top of all of that, I was fat & unhappy.
I was grinding through life, taking one moment at a time juggling what seemed to be a pretty impossible act.
At nearly 6’2, I’ve considered myself fairly athletic all my life. I could pretty much eat and drink whatever the heck I’ve wanted to.
I’ve never been the all-star athlete, but I’ve worked pretty darn hard to keep in shape. 180 to 190 pounds is my happy spot. I swore I would never get over 200 pounds.
With all the stress we were going through pre and post-delivery of Evangeline, I still worked out, but I was getting older and my metabolism slowing down.
Frankly, I let myself go a little bit. I was drinking a couple of sodas a day and consuming all kinds of yummy fatty foods like pizza and fast food with our crazy hectic schedule.
I’m about to tell all of you something that I’ve never revealed to anyone except my wife and my oldest daughter. I don’t think I even told my own parents (but I guess they know now)!
In this podcast, you will discover...
- The health scare that freaked out my wife
- What I did to turn around my circumstances and how I'm still working through it
- My challenge to you

There's a revolution happening for physicians.
Have you ever felt like you've been lied to? Like a supposed financial professional has taken advantage of you?
Maybe they've sold you some crazy expensive life insurance policy.
Or instead, maybe you know that your spending has been a bit out of control. You don't have a budget and instead, you have a mountain of credit card debt.
Or maybe instead... you have a mountain range of student debt. It's 100k, 200k, 300k, or more...
Or, let's say your debts are paid off and you are sick and tired of the taxes that you are paying. Yet, you don't know who to turn to for advice.
There's a financial education revolution happening. It's led by a man who has empowered dozens of physicians.
It's the revolution of the White Coat Investor.
My name is Dave Denniston, your host and welcome back to the latest episode of The Freedom Formula for Physicians Podcast.
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 has not only been a physician but is also a financial blogger and thought leader.
As a matter of fact, he has inspired over a dozen physicians to start their own blogs so that they could model his success.
A little bio on him… he is a practicing, a full-time, board-certified emergency physician just a few years out of residency. Although he’s always been interested in personal finance and investing, he really started diving into the field as a resident when he finally got sick of financial professionals ripping him off. In fact, most of his first few encounters with financial professionals ended badly for him.
So, that really sucks and I know many of us can relate to that. Unfortunately, doctors are a target. We’ll dive into that later.
I know he has a ton of wisdom to share with us and with no further adieu…
Please help me welcome Dr. Jim Dahle (pronunciation- DOLL-EE), THE White Coat Investor….
In this podcast, you will discover...
- Why Jim had virtually no exposure to financial education growing up
- The moment when he was growing up that provided motivation to be financially successful
- The financial lessons he is teaching his kids
- Why debt hasn't played a role in his financial journey and the sacrifice of time he made instead
- How he built his empire and inspired dozens of physicians to be like him
- The 3 actions he is taking to drastically lower his income taxes
- His future plans for more books

Welcome back to the latest episode of The Freedom Formula for Physicians Podcast.
I’ve been listening to quote a few other podcasts lately. One, in particular, is focused on dentists. What’s fascinating to me as I listen and learn from these dental entrepreneurs is how much they are focused on having a steady stream of patients that aren’t referrals from other clinicians.
I really believe that the most financially successful physicians in the future are going to be those that are less reliant on reimbursements and more reliant on their own brand. From what I’ve seen so far, these physicians seem to have far more control over their time and their financial freedom.
So, today, I’d like to empower you with information to help you do this. You my friend are the captain of your ship, in control of your destiny.
Our guest today has been focused on business development with healthcare, the tech-generated focus throughout his whole career.
He’s been working in and around physicians for over a decade and has seen what is successful and what is not.
What’s really awesome about his current company is that they are focused on patient acquisition, reputation management, & retention marketing specifically for physicians.
So, let’s dive on in. I know we’re going to learn a ton today.
Please help me welcome Matt Pierce from Patient Pop.
In this podcast, you will...
- Learn why a hospital-based physician could (& probably should) utilize a system like this
- Discover the 3 most important components of physician marketing
- Learn how PatientPop proactively helps physicians collect reviews that are fantastic & in addition get constructive criticism from pissed off patients [without hurting your rep online]
In the BONUS whole unedited interview...
- Learn the difference between ZocDoc & PatientPop
- Discover the pros and cons of this SaaS (software as a service) & what you give up
- Learn why a holistic marketing approach may be better
- How their system works & where it could help your practice
