#338 What to Ask Before You Invest in Real Estate and Alternatives

In this episode, Peter takes the question he heard most at PIMDCON, is real estate still worth it right now, and puts it to three people who are actively in the deals: Dr. Larry Daugherty, Phil Copulsky, and Taylor Hawks. They break down active versus passive versus debt investing, why the market reset is creating opportunities, and the one question each of them would ask before handing money to a sponsor. If you've been sitting on the sidelines trying to decide whether to get back in or get in for the first time, this conversation gives you a clearer way to think about it. Tune in!

#337 How Physicians Are Building Businesses and Brands in the AI Age

In this episode, Peter moderates a panel of four physician entrepreneurs, Dr. Mark Allen, Dr. Bonnie Koo, Dr. Michael Fang, and Dr. Kenji Asakura, who share how they took their first steps outside clinical medicine and handled the risk that came with it. They get honest about building a personal brand, the AI skills every physician should start learning now, and why valuation matters as much as income. If you've been curious about building something beyond clinical work but aren't sure where to start, this panel makes that first step feel a lot smaller. Tune in!

In this episode, Peter shares the three biggest things he personally walked away with after PIMDCON 2026, despite being the one who put the whole event together.

#335 Should You Borrow Money to Invest

In this episode, Peter breaks down what happens when a friend's investment problem turned out to be a debt problem in disguise, and why borrowing money to invest changes the entire risk equation. He walks through the two questions almost nobody asks before taking on debt to fund an investment, who's actually making the payment, and who decides when that payment is due. If you've ever considered using margin, a HELOC, or a personal loan to get into a deal, this episode lays out exactly what can go wrong and when. Tune in! Interested in PIMDCON Virtual?

#334 Where to Park Money You're Going to Need Soon

In this episode, Peter breaks down exactly where to keep money that has a deadline attached to it, using a real conversation with his own parents as the framework. He walks through why a normal checking account quietly costs you thousands a year, and lays out the actual tiers of options based on how fast you might need the cash, from high-yield savings accounts to T-bills to no-penalty CDs. If you're sitting on proceeds from a home sale, a practice buyout, or a down payment with an uncertain timeline, this episode tells you exactly what to do with it and what to avoid entirely. Tune in!

#333 What to Ask Before You Invest in an Oil and Gas Deal

In this episode, Peter sits down with Troy Eckard, a four-decade veteran of oil and gas, to answer the question most physicians never think to ask before writing a check into this space, how do you actually tell a legitimate operator from one that isn't. Troy breaks down the real mechanics behind mineral rights and working interest, why this might be one of the best buying windows in years, and the exact red flags that should make anyone walk away immediately. If oil and gas has always felt like a black box, this episode is less about whether to invest and more about how to protect yourself if you do. Tune in!

#332 The Tax Bill Your Friend Isn't Planning For (And Neither Are You)

In this episode, Peter walks through a phone call with a friend who was about to sell a short-term rental and had never once thought about depreciation recapture, a bill that turned out to be bigger and more complicated than expected. He breaks down exactly how recapture is calculated, the part almost nobody catches involving furniture and appliances, and the real options for deferring or offsetting that tax hit. If you've used aggressive depreciation to lower your taxes now, this episode is about the bill waiting for you later. Tune in! Interested in PIMDCON? Know more by clicking here.

#331 Opportunity Zones 2.0: The Tax Tool Most Physicians Have Never Heard Of

In this episode, Peter breaks down opportunity zones, a tax tool he says almost no physician he talks to has ever heard of, and why the version that exists today looks nothing like the one from 2018. He walks through the exact math behind deferring and eliminating capital gains taxes, why Congress making the program permanent changes everything about how it can be used, and the concentration risk quietly building in a lot of portfolios right now. If you've got gains sitting in a brokerage account you don't know what to do with, this episode lays out exactly what your options actually are. Tune in! Interested in PIMDCON?

#330 The AI Team I Built (Assistant, Advisor, Lawyer, Coach)

In this episode, Peter breaks down how he stopped treating AI like a search engine and started building it into an actual team, complete with a personal assistant, a financial board of advisors, a lawyer and negotiator, and a life coach. He walks through exactly how each one is built and used, from prepping for contract negotiations to processing tough decisions late at night. If you've only ever asked AI a quick question and moved on, this episode shows what's possible once you start thinking in terms of roles instead of one tool. Tune in! Interested in MD AI Bootcamp?
