What’s good everyone,

I recorded this episode earlier this month. We talking about the crazy misrepresentation of the osteopathic profession that happened with Dr. Sean Conley. You might remember, Dr. Conley is President Trump’s physician, and media personalities wrongly pounced on his credentials as an explanation for his questionable statements during press conferences. Today, Drs. Jen Caudle, Tyree Winters, and Tyeese Gaines join me to discuss this contested issue!

The old-fashioned way works. The old-fashioned way is reliable. The old-fashioned way is not complicated. A lot of times we find out when its too late that the old-fashioned way is just….OLD! This is the method Renee and I used to save up for a down payment on a future property. The majority of Americans save up in similar ways.

Well today, the folks at Money Insights are talking a more efficient way to save up for future investment properties.

Damn ya'll,

The biggest scrub company on the block, FIGS, stepped into some you know what a couple of days ago. Renee and I go all in on this obvious mistake by their PR department. Oh, and for the first time ever on DOTB, I lose my cool and go on a rant on the show.

Skip Bayless has been a consistent force in the TV sports commentary arena for almost two decades. Known for his stubborn and contrarian views, he’s really made a name for himself being way too focused on the short list of negatives of Lebron James’ career. Two weeks ago, he put his foot in his mouth with his comments and dismissal of Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott’s self-described bout of depression.

Kwesi and Dr. Dawn Brown join me on today’s episode to discuss his comments and the effect it could have on other athletes and health care professionals.

Voting is at the root of our democracy. The stakes of this election can give someone heartburn (I got my Zantac ready)!

Dr. Stella Safo, who is a cofounder, comes on the hotseat to talk about what this organization is doing and how you can take action.

Dr. Sylvie Stacy, author of 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians, jumps on the hot seat to talk about choosing not to practice clinically. Yes, I said it! There are a bunch of medical students, residents, and doctors who deep down know that clinical medicine ain’t for them. Who do they talk to? Where can they find out next what to do?

Dr. Sylvie Stacy is a preventive medicine specialist living and practice in Birmingham, Alabama. She received her MD from UMass Medical School and completed her residency and earned an MPH at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Sylvie went through something similar, but decided to help others by creating a website that inventoried jobs looking for physicians. She didn’t stop there and wrote this great book. Full Disclosure: I endorsed this book!
