Doctors Building Wealth

In our latest episode, we had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Ian Thompson, a distinguished urologist who has impressively delved into the world of real estate investing. Ian opened up about his ventures, especially in the nuanced space of mobile home park investing. He shared the advantages of land ownership and gave an enlightening comparison between RVs and mobile homes. 

Not just content with financial success, Ian is also passionately involved in philanthropic endeavors, notably in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His dedication towards establishing churches, schools, and healthcare facilities in the region is truly commendable. If you've ever wondered about the intersections of medicine, real estate, and philanthropy, this Doctors Building Wealth episode offers a deep dive into the journey of someone who has seamlessly blended all three.

Ready to merge the worlds of surgery, tech, and community? Imagine having all the surgical resources, colleagues, and expertise right at your fingertips, 24/7, no matter where you are in the world.

Say hello to Dr. Mark Soliman and the SurgeOn app!

In this episode, we dive deep with Dr. Mark Soliman, the mastermind behind the SurgeOn, the LinkedIn for the surgical community.

Dr. Soliman, Chief of Colorectal Surgery and Program Medical Director for the AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute, started off as a surgeon who had a natural aversion to business. But as he got deeper into his career, he realized the importance of taking control of the finance and strategy to execute his vision. He was hungry for a platform where surgeons could talk, learn, and collaborate without any commercial bias. So he founded SurgeOn, a unique digital ecosystem solely dedicated to the surgical community.

His venture has three main verticals for revenue: educational grants that fund webinars, a robust platform for hosting surgical meetings, and subscriptions to industry partners who get read-only access to the platform. What sets SurgeOn apart is its surgeon-centric approach—no selling data, no ads, just pure educational and collaborative space. Dr. Soliman's aim? To make SurgeOn the go-to international hub for all things surgical, offering a safe and secure space for surgeons to collaborate, share, and grow.

In this podcast episode, we explore his unlikely journey from being averse to business to becoming a disruptive entrepreneur in the medical field. How does the SurgeOn app monetize? What's the vision for the next five years? And why is a growth mindset crucial for not just surgeons but everyone?

Dr. Soliman drops knowledge bombs on all things entrepreneurial and surgical, plus shares exclusive insights into the future of this groundbreaking platform. This is your chance to peek behind the surgical mask and into the world of medical tech innovation.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Doctors Building Wealth podcast! Join Leti and Kenji as they share their journey from Lake Como in Italy, where they discuss the topic of going international and buying an Italian villa. Their goal has always been to create a life where they could own an Italian villa to use as a gathering place for friends and family, and this dream is now becoming a reality.

They explore the various reasons why some investors choose to buy rental properties in foreign countries, such as obtaining a golden visa for citizenship or residency, leveraging geographic arbitrage in affordable markets, benefiting from currency arbitrage, and diversifying their real estate portfolios across different countries.

Leti shares her experience of overcoming initial challenges in securing a loan for the Italian property and explains a unique syndication structure they devised to bring their dream closer to reality. This innovative structure allows passive investors to invest in the property and receive a return or stay in the villa for a certain period each year, while Leti and Kenji still have ample time to rent out the property as a short-term rental and make it a profitable venture.

They also highlight the potential tax benefits, such as accelerated depreciation, for foreign properties. The episode concludes with an inspiring message for real estate investors to explore various possibilities in international property investments and make their dreams of owning properties in different countries a reality.

Tune in to discover how you can embrace international real estate investments and create a life of travel and multiple rental properties around the world. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Leti and Kenji's experience and be inspired to take your real estate investment journey to the next level!

In this week's podcast, we interview Dr. Gregory Hanson. He is a radiologist by training who founded flipMD, a physician-focused freelancing platform.

What is truly remarkable about his story is that he started this company with his wife during residency and sold it to GoodRx in a little less than two years! Not only that, he did this with very little venture funding and he also managed the entire M&A (mergers and acquisitions) process himself without a broker.

In this episode, we also delve briefly into his real estate journey. Like so many others in our community, he invested in short-term rentals, not only for the cashflow but also for the tax advantages.

Would you consider yourself a planner?

Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time.

However, over the last 3-6 months, this has all changed.

Now, instead of labeling himself "I'm not a planner," he now loves to plan and can't imagine beginning his day without a plan.

Why the dramatic shift?

He reached a threshold. A threshold is the point at which you get fed up with your current situation and you decide to make a change.

So how did he make the shift?

First thing is, he changed his identity. See, if you label yourself "I'm not a planner," then you will do whatever it takes to maintain that identity. Once you change your identity to "I'm a planner," things start to change. All of a sudden, you no longer fiercely hold onto the old identity.

Second, he made time for it each day. It is actually built into his daily schedule.

Third, he started to see positive results from planning, which created a positive reinforcement loop.

See, when you plan effectively, you get better results.

This is one of the keys to planning. It's not about getting more sh*t done. It's about focusing on the things you value the most.

For example, you might value having your kids see you as a fun and loving dad. If that's the outcome you're seeking, then you have to plan time to create those fun and loving moments with your kids.

This gives each to-do on your list more meaning. It's not something you check off. Instead, each to-do is important and meaningful to you, so when you accomplish it, you are achieving the results you're seeking.

Now this episode isn't just about Kenji's dramatic shift, Leti also made significant changes to how she plans. She now organizes her planning around the different roles she plays in life for example: mother, wife, CEO, and community.

So if you want better results in your life, consider planning for success!
