There’s a lack of investment confidence within the medical profession. Let's face it, most of our time is dedicated to patient care, with little time left over to learn a completely new subject. 

You may be thinking to yourself "I want to invest, pay off my student loans and retire early, but something’s holding me back!" I used to think that way and what was holding me back - I was scared to lose money.

Don’t worry, anyone can learn about investing! It doesn’t have to be complicated and daunting as it seems.

Today, we got Hans Boateng (aka The Investing Tutor) to give us a 101 lesson on starting in Investing!

Learn how to make your money work for you as he shares how to invest in the stock market, take advantage of your retirement plan, as well as some proven investing strategies to grow your money!

 

These are the five main things we discussed in this episode:

• Why you should invest your money in the stock market and not just sit it in a savings account
• The power of compounding
• Why you should take advantage of that retirement account
• The difference between an index fund and an ETF
• An easy strategy to start investing today!

 

The Guest

Hans earned his Path of Distinction MBA from William and Mary and holds a Doctor of Pharmacy from St. John Fisher College. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. 

He has built quite the following and one of the respected investment tutors in the country. Hans has helped countless professionals and placed many families on the path of generational wealth!

“Winning is hard when you’re not sure what the goal is.” — Doc G

What’s good everyone!

Has the thought of leaving medicine ever crossed your mind? I mean who hasn’t daydreamed about quitting their job to pursue their passion?

Maybe you thought that being a physician is your calling but— what if this calling burns you out or doesn’t make you happy anymore? Would you still stay?

In today’s episode, I got Doc G to confess with us why he left his full-time medical practice and pursued a path that really brought him joy. Doc G is a former high earning physician who is behind the medical blog, DiverseFI and the host of The Earn & Invest Podcast (Formerly What’s Up Next).

Doc G and I are going to discuss his financial freedom journey and how he put himself in a place where he can retire when he wants, do what he wants, and enjoy all of it!

These are the five main things we discussed in this episode:

• Doc G shares his early experience with medical blogging and how he started DiverseFI
• Shattered expectations and moving away from being a physician
• The anxiety of knowing and feeling like that what you do isn’t for you anymore
• Discovering your real passion, making a living out of it, and redefining success in your own terms
• How he answers #imnotjustadoc

The Guest

Doc G was an internal medicine physician when he discovered the personal finance community through a book called The White Coat Investor.  Since then he has left clinical practice to pursue his passion for deep conversations about money and life.

Hi Everyone!!

“You ain’t relevant unless you say something on social media!!!”

 

Gary Vaynerchuk, my bad if I got your quote wrong. Ya’ll get the idea though. Social media is where it’s at nowadays, and in order to be considered relevant you need some “skin” in the game of social media. On today’s episode, Drs. Steven Bradley and Tyree Winters jump on to talk about social media, podcasts and Clubhouse, and Dr. Fauci on The Joe Budden Podcast.

“I’ve always wanted to work for myself but the only positions available are hospital employed?!”

“The interview went great, but do I really know if the culture here fits me?”

You might have more of these questions now that you’re getting close or are starting to look for a job. Let’s face it, more doctors want complete control of their careers and being employed might be a big hurdle to that. Nick Ball, with Provider Solutions & Development (PS&D), jumps on to discuss locum tenens.

 

These are the 4 main things we discussed in this episode:

1. Why Dr. Nii decided to do locums right after fellowship

4. Pros & Cons of locums work
