Welcome back to another meaningful episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex Schloe.

💡 What if the true measure of wealth isn’t financial freedom…but relational freedom?
What if the quality of your life—and even your success as a physician, investor, or entrepreneur—hinges on the depth of your relationships?

In today’s special Thanksgiving episode, Alex steps away from real estate and entrepreneurship to explore something far more important: community, connection, and the loneliness epidemic affecting modern America.

Drawing from a powerful story he recently heard in a John Mark Comer sermon, Alex reflects on the life of billionaire John Paul Getty—a man with unimaginable wealth, fame, and power, yet crippling isolation. Getty’s story becomes a mirror for our own culture: a world where people have more material comfort than ever before but often feel profoundly alone.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, open your home, gather around the table, and remember that relationships—not money—are the greatest form of capital.

🔥 What you’ll learn:

• The Cost of Isolation: How John Paul Getty’s tragic life reveals the emptiness of success without connection—and why many Americans today face the same loneliness despite unprecedented comfort.
• The Loneliness Epidemic: Eye-opening statistics on how pervasive isolation has become, why it impacts physicians uniquely, and why the U.S. Surgeon General calls it the top health threat in America.
• Relationships as the True Key to Success: The surprising truth Alex has learned from interviewing physicians, entrepreneurs, and leaders: success is built on relationships—not deals, not net worth.
• The Power of Community & Hospitality: Why opening your table, sharing meals, and living life with others can radically improve your mental health, your marriage, your medical practice, and even your business.
• Living a Richer Life in 2025 and Beyond: How the Schloe family intentionally built more community this year—and how it transformed their joy, relationships, and sense of purpose.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• A palace without people is just a tomb with marble countertops.
  True wealth comes from people, not possessions.
• Loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.
  Connection isn’t optional—it’s essential for health.
• Every successful leader points to the same truth: success is driven by relationships.
• Gratitude is an action, not a feeling.
  It’s expressed through presence, hospitality, and shared life.
• Your table is one of the most powerful tools you have for building community.
  A rich life is built around the people you invite into it.
• You don’t have to be perfect—just willing.
  Building community starts by opening your home, your schedule, and your heart.
• Family and friendship are the greatest forms of capital you will ever accumulate.
