🎙️🔁 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. This week, we are bringing back a powerful replay 🔁episode with Dr. Brittney Anderson. 💡 What if the key to finding joy in medicine was not escaping healthcare altogether, but reclaiming your autonomy through private practice and entrepreneurship? In this episode, Dr. Schloe sits down with Dr. Brittney Anderson, a board-certified family medicine physician, founder and CEO of Anderson Family Care, and host of the 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 podcast. After years in employed and academic medicine, Dr. Anderson made the bold leap to open her own private practice in 2022, launching with a full panel of patients right out of the gate. They discuss her path from rural Alabama to Duke, a life-changing study abroad experience in Ghana, the lessons she learned from burnout in employed practice, and how building her own clinic brought autonomy, joy, and efficiency back into her career. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ How a transformative experience in Ghana shaped Dr. Anderson’s calling to medicine ✔️ Why employed practice can fuel burnout and frustration ✔️ How private practice can restore autonomy, joy, and flexibility ✔️ What she focused on in the three months before launching her clinic ✔️ Why marketing, credentialing, funding, and systems matter before opening ✔️ How AI scribes, team huddles, and staff culture help her practice run efficiently ✔️ Why physicians are uniquely equipped to become entrepreneurs ✔️ How real estate can be both profitable and community-transforming 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Physicians are capable of doing hard things, including building businesses. ✅ Private practice can help restore joy and fulfillment in medicine. ✅ Autonomy, efficiency, and culture are key to building a sustainable practice. ✅ Entrepreneurship can create opportunities beyond clinical medicine. ✅ Freedom often comes from ownership, not employment. If you are a physician who has ever wondered whether private practice is still possible, this replay episode is a reminder that you can build a practice, serve your community, and create more freedom on your own terms.

How Physicians Can Use Real Estate to Buy Back Their Time with Dr. Alex Schloe

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if financial freedom was not about quitting medicine, retiring early, or never working again? What if it was about creating enough margin, flexibility, and resilience that medicine becomes something you choose — not something you are financially trapped doing? In this solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe shares the real reason he believes physicians need income outside of medicine. It is not because medicine is bad. It is not because every physician needs to quit clinical practice. And it is not because real estate creates a perfect, stress-free life. The reason is simple: Additional income creates options, and options create freedom. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why a high physician income can still become a trap ✔️ How lifestyle creep can create golden handcuffs ✔️ Why financial freedom is about choices, not just retirement ✔️ How income outside of medicine can create breathing room ✔️ Why real estate is a tool, not the ultimate goal ✔️ How to choose an investment strategy that fits your life ✔️ Why every dollar of dependable outside income helps buy back your time ✔️ How to take the next responsible step toward greater freedom 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Medicine is an incredible calling, but it should not be your only source of security. ✅ A high income is powerful, but only if you use it to build future freedom. ✅ Financial freedom does not have to mean quitting your job. ✅ Freedom means work becomes a choice instead of a financial requirement. ✅ Real estate can create cash flow, equity, tax advantages, and long-term options. ✅ The right strategy depends on your time, money, experience, family, and goals. ✅ You do not need 1,000 properties. You need intentional progress toward autonomy and alignment. One of the biggest traps for physicians is building a lifestyle that requires every dollar of the physician paycheck to continue indefinitely. That is when medicine stops feeling like a calling and starts feeling like a cage. Real estate, entrepreneurship, and other income streams can help physicians create margin, reduce dependence on clinical income, and build lives with more flexibility.

Physician Burnout, Career Reinvention, and Building a Portfolio Career with Dr. Bertina Hooks

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if burnout was not a sign that you were broken, but a signal that something needed to change? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Bertina Hooks, a board-certified internal medicine physician, healthcare executive, entrepreneur, founder of Pinnacle Business Academy, coach, consultant, and author. After surviving a life-threatening medical crisis that led to a right below-the-knee amputation, Dr. Hooks was forced to reevaluate her identity, career, health, and priorities. That experience became the catalyst for reinvention. Today, she has built a portfolio career that includes clinical medicine, telemedicine, consulting, coaching, medical expert work, real estate, publishing, advocacy, and entrepreneurship. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ How Dr. Hooks first discovered her calling to medicine ✔️ Why burnout often reveals a mismatch between your values and your energy ✔️ How locums helped her gain more autonomy, flexibility, and negotiating power ✔️ How a major medical crisis reshaped her career and identity ✔️ Why physicians need to separate self-worth from job title ✔️ How consulting, telemedicine, utilization management, expert work, and entrepreneurship can create more flexibility ✔️ Why multiple streams of income can help physicians practice with more freedom ✔️ How real estate can support both financial growth and meaningful impact ✔️ Why career transitions should be planned with intention, not fear 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Burnout is not a character flaw. It is often a signal that something needs to change. ✅ Your identity is bigger than your specialty, title, or employer. ✅ Your medical degree is not the ceiling. It is the foundation. ✅ You do not have to leave clinical medicine to redesign your career. ✅ Non-clinical work allows physicians to use their skills in a different way. ✅ Multiple income streams can create breathing room, flexibility, and autonomy. ✅ Change is not failure. Sometimes, it is evolution. One of the most powerful parts of Dr. Hooks’ story is how quickly life can change. It could be burnout, illness, disability, a corporate reorganization, or becoming a caregiver for someone you love. Dr. Hooks also shares the message behind her upcoming memoir, 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺, and why giving yourself permission to evolve may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.

How To Use Partnerships, Duplexes and BRRRR To Build Cash Flow with Dr. Kathir Balakumaran

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡What if the first step was not building a massive portfolio, raising capital, or taking huge risks —but simply buying one solid property, learning the numbers, and letting confidence compound? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kathir Balakumaran, a practicing cardiologist in Cleveland, Ohio, who only caught the real estate investing bug in 2024. In a relatively short period of time, Kathir has built an impressive portfolio of duplexes using the BRRRR strategy, converted a previous home into a rental, and begun investing passively in real estate syndications — all while continuing to practice as a full-time cardiologist. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ How Kathir first got exposed to real estate during residency ✔️ How delayed gratification helped his family build financial momentum ✔️ How the BRRRR strategy works and why it can help recycle capital ✔️ Why partnerships can accelerate growth when each person brings different strengths ✔️ Why tenant screening matters and what he learned from a difficult eviction ✔️ How passive syndications can complement active investing ✔️ Why the biggest win is often simply pulling the trigger and getting started 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ You do not need to have everything figured out before buying your first property ✅ Duplexes can offer strong cash flow and risk mitigation in the right market ✅ Conservative underwriting matters, especially for risk-averse investors ✅ You still need to do your own research, even when you outsource parts of the process ✅ Active investing can build skills, confidence, and momentum ✅ Passive investing can help put extra income to work without adding another job One of the most powerful parts of Kathir’s story is how practical his approach has been. He started by learning, researching neighborhoods, understanding rent-to-price ratios, studying public records, building a team, finding partners, and buying duplexes that made sense. Then he repeated the process. If you are a physician who wants to build wealth outside of medicine but feels overwhelmed by where to begin, 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁.

How To Break Free From Burnout and Quadruple Your Income with Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reed

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. In this replay episode, I’m joined by Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reed, board-certified pediatrician, founder of Doctoring Differently, and a physician who has completely reimagined what a medical career can look like. After starting her career in traditional pediatrics, Naomi quickly realized that the grind of full-time clinical medicine, nights, weekends, holidays, limited control, and relatively low pediatric compensation was not the life she wanted to build for the next 30 or 40 years. Then came what she calls her “villain origin story” — a broken chair in the physician charting room that administration fixed by wrapping diapers around the exposed metal. Since then, Naomi has built a career around per diem work, locums, VA disability exams, expert witness work, aesthetics, and medical director roles — ultimately creating more flexibility, more income, and more freedom than she was ever told was possible. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reed left traditional full-time pediatrics ✔️ Why per diem work can be a powerful first step for physicians who want more flexibility ✔️ How locums can create high income without requiring a traditional full-time job ✔️ Why physicians often underestimate the value of their training, license, and expertise ✔️ How Doctoring Differently helps physicians explore non-traditional clinical and non-clinical opportunities ✔️ Why you do not need permission to build a career that fits your life 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ There are more ways to practice medicine than the traditional full-time employed model ✅ Per diem and locums can create a bridge between clinical work and entrepreneurship ✅ Physicians can build meaningful income streams outside of traditional patient care ✅ Non-clinical work does not mean your medical training is wasted ✅ You can create more flexibility without abandoning your identity as a physician ✅ Your biggest fear may simply be your current reality — and you can always pivot back if needed ✅ There are no fixed rules for what a “real doctor job” has to look like 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Investing in Assisted Living with Dr. Alex Schloe

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What do you need to understand before investing in residential assisted living? In today’s solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe pulls back the curtain on his own journey and shares five lessons he wishes he had known before getting started in residential assisted living. Some of these lessons may sound obvious now—but learning them through experience cost Alex significant time, money, stress, sleepless nights, and perhaps even a little hair. The biggest lesson? Residential assisted living is not simply a real estate deal with a side of caring. It is a care business wrapped inside a real estate investment. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why operations—not the real estate—will ultimately determine whether an assisted living home succeeds ✔️ How the right operator can make an average property thrive ✔️ How the wrong operator can destroy a great investment financially and reputationally ✔️ Why vetting an operator requires a completely different skill set than evaluating a property ✔️ What to evaluate before entering a specific assisted living market ✔️ Why strong national demand does not mean every local market can support another home ✔️ Why marketing and resident acquisition must begin long before the doors open ✔️ How empty beds can quickly become the most expensive line item in the business ✔️ Why trying to build an assisted living business alone can become an expensive mistake 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Residential assisted living is a care and operations business first and a real estate investment second ✅ Your operator relationship can make or break the entire investment ✅ Culture, character, financial strength, and a genuine heart for serving seniors all matter when selecting an operator ✅ A national senior-housing shortage does not guarantee success in every local submarket ✅ Market evaluation must include competition, demographics, payer mix, migration, healthcare resources, and licensing timelines ✅ Great care creates strong reviews, family referrals, higher occupancy, and a more sustainable business Residential assisted living is not a get-rich-quick model. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱-𝗶𝘁-𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹. And when you build it correctly, surround yourself with experienced people, and serve seniors with excellence, one home can fundamentally change your financial future.

There Will Always Be A Bigger Yacht with Dr. Alex Schloe

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if the most valuable return on your investments was not cash flow, appreciation, or IRR? In today’s reflective solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe shares a powerful lesson from an anniversary trip through Rome, the South of France, Monaco, and the Mediterranean. Surrounded by mega yachts, helicopters, Formula One, and extraordinary wealth, Alex found himself confronting a feeling nearly every ambitious physician and entrepreneur knows well: comparison. No matter how much you build, there will always be someone with a bigger portfolio, more doors, more income, and yes, a bigger yacht. But the lesson was simple: What matters is not the size of the yacht. It is who is on the yacht with you. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why comparison can quietly steal your joy, even when you have built something meaningful ✔️ Why there will always be someone with more wealth, more units, and more zeros ✔️ How physicians get trapped on the achievement treadmill long after training ends ✔️ What “return on time” means and why it may be the most important metric in your life ✔️ How real estate and entrepreneurship can create margin, flexibility, and choice ✔️ Why your “life number” may matter more than your financial freedom number ✔️ How to avoid letting the vehicle of wealth-building become the destination ✔️ Why intentionality—not portfolio size—determines whether you actually enjoy the life you are building 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ There will always be a bigger yacht, so stop using someone else’s life as your benchmark ✅ A successful portfolio means very little if it costs you your marriage, family, faith, or presence ✅ Real estate should create more options—not simply become another treadmill ✅ Return on time means having the freedom to make the game, take the trip, enjoy dinner, and be present ✅ Build wealth intentionally, with the people you love still at the center of the journey If you are a physician or high-income professional working toward financial freedom, this episode is a reminder to pause and ask a better question: Are you building a life that the people closest to you actually want to be part of?

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if your next real estate investment did more than create cash flow? What if it helped your spouse build something meaningful, taught your kids real-world skills, and created more freedom for your entire family? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Julie Gates, licensed real estate broker, investor, founder of Sid Was Here Property Management, and leader of Team 912 in Savannah, Georgia. Alongside her physician husband, Don, Julie has helped build a portfolio of more than 85 doors while creating a business around property management, furnished rentals, investor-focused brokerage, and smarter operations. Their story started with physician burnout, a desire for more family time, and one patient encounter that changed how they thought about real estate forever. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ How Julie and Don started by buying their own medical practice locations ✔️ How to get a spouse more involved in the real estate journey ✔️ Why a property manager may be the right first step for new investors ✔️ How Julie grew from long-term rentals into short- and medium-term rentals ✔️ Why every property should have multiple exit strategies ✔️ How to think about location, demand drivers, and value-add opportunities ✔️ Why buying a property only for tax benefits can be a costly mistake ✔️ How real estate can strengthen a marriage and create a family legacy 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Building wealth as a physician family does not have to be a solo journey ✅ Your spouse does not need to become a full-time property manager to contribute ✅ Start small, learn through action, and let confidence compound ✅ The best real estate strategy is one that fits your family’s strengths and goals ✅ Real estate can create more than income — it can create options, skills, stories, and time together If you’ve ever wondered how to get your spouse more excited about investing, or how to build wealth outside of medicine without sacrificing your family in the process… 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼.

Standing Up For Doctors: The Fight To Keep Physicians Human with Kim Downey

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if one of the most important ways to support physicians is simply to remember that behind every white coat is a human being? Physicians carry grief, pressure, impossible expectations, administrative burdens, moral injury, and the emotional weight of caring for patients during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Yet too often, doctors are expected to remain calm, productive, compassionate, and available, regardless of what may be happening in their own lives. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kim Downey, a physical therapist, three-time cancer survivor, author, speaker, and founder of Stand Up For Doctors. Kim’s mission began after she lost a beloved radiologist to suicide while navigating her own difficult journey through cancer treatment. That loss changed the trajectory of her life and led her to become a passionate advocate for physician wellbeing, connection, and humanity in medicine. Through her podcast, books, writing, and inaugural physician retreat, Kim is helping amplify the stories of doctors who are struggling, healing, innovating, and reclaiming their purpose. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Kim’s powerful journey from patient to physician advocate ✔️ Why physician suicide, moral injury, and burnout need more honest conversation ✔️ Why “burnout” is not simply an individual resilience problem ✔️ How loss of autonomy and administrative burdens impact physician wellbeing ✔️ The importance of never carrying difficult patient outcomes alone ✔️ Why physicians often struggle to share their stories or ask for support ✔️ How patients can better support their doctors through gratitude and humanity ✔️ Why financial freedom and professional autonomy can help physicians remain in medicine ✔️ How investing, entrepreneurship, hobbies, and creativity can reconnect doctors with purpose ✔️ The power of creating white space to think, reflect, and listen to yourself ✔️ Details about Kim’s books and the Stand Up For Doctors Physician Retreat 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Physicians are not machines, productivity metrics, or names on a schedule—they are human beings ✅ Doctors should not have to carry the emotional weight of medicine alone ✅ Gratitude, a kind review, or a simple “thank you” can make a bigger difference than patients realize ✅ Financial freedom is not about leaving medicine; it is about having more control over how you practice it ✅ Taking care of yourself outside medicine can help you feel better inside medicine ✅ Meaningful change does not require one person to fix the entire healthcare system alone If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure, emotional burden, or lack of control that can come with practicing medicine… Or if you are working toward greater financial freedom so you can better protect your health, family, purpose, and ability to continue serving patients… 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

Beyond the 401(k): How High-Income Physicians Build Lasting Wealth with Lane Kawaoka

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲. 💡 What if earning a high income was not enough to make you financially free? For many physicians, every dollar still depends on another shift, clinic day, call weekend, or patient encounter. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lane Kawaoka, author of The Wealth Elevator and host of the Wealth Elevator Podcast. Lane started his career as an engineer and built his first real estate portfolio by saving aggressively, house hacking, and investing in markets where the numbers made sense.
