In this presentation, I share an updated list of seven fascinating and unexpected careers that physicians are quietly thriving in, far beyond traditional clinical roles. Drawing from past podcast interviews and my own experience as a CME surveyor, I highlight examples such as founding and leading professional associations, building online coaching and course businesses, part-time consulting, working as an independent disability insurance broker, serving as a chief medical officer for a Medicare administrative contractor, launching a health advocacy practice, and advising students as an academic consultant.

For each role, I explain what the work looks like, how the physicians got started, why the positions appealed to them, and what kind of income, flexibility, and purpose they've found in these paths. If you are feeling stuck or restless in clinical practice will come away with concrete, real-world examples of careers that still use medical training but offer very different ways to earn a living and help others.

Real estate investor Lane Kawaoka explains how he utilized single-family rentals, private placements, and syndications to transition from a W-2 engineering job in Seattle to living and investing in Hawaii while building long-term wealth. He shares how he achieved accredited investor status, why he shifted away from owning scattered rental properties, and what he looks for when evaluating larger apartment and alternative deals so that high-income professionals don't end up in "sucker" investments.

Kawaoka also walks through the tax side of the "wealth elevator," including how depreciation, real estate professional status, and oil and gas projects can complement or improve on traditional 401(k)-style strategies. Along the way, he talks about the limitations of short-term rentals and residential assisted living for busy clinicians, the importance of pushing CPAs beyond the default playbook, and why surrounding yourself with an experienced investor community is just as important as the deals themselves.

Dr. Chirag Chaudhari, an emergency physician and director of quality and informatics, describes how a missed hospital leadership promotion prompted him to reassess his financial future and lean heavily into real estate investing. What began with buying model homes as rentals evolved into a long "real estate fellowship," masterminds, and eventually participation in more than 25 syndications across multifamily, storage, land, short-term rentals, and other asset classes.

He explains how he now leads group investments for physicians and other professionals, performing in-depth due diligence, negotiating more favorable terms, and structuring deals that align with various goals, such as monthly cash flow, long-term upside, or active-income tax relief through energy syndications. Along the way, he shares how busy clinicians can step beyond "money jail" retirement accounts, diversify without becoming full-time landlords, and use education and mentorship to invest with more confidence.

In this classic episode from 2022, Drs. Lev Grinman and Daniel Cousin share how they built Doctors for Providers, a nationwide network that connects physicians with nurse practitioners and PAs seeking collaborative partnerships. What began as a simple response to constant requests from advanced practice providers has become a streamlined system that helps both sides work more efficiently and safely.

Dr. Grinman, a neurologist and sleep specialist, and Dr. Cousin, a radiologist, explain how they identified a hidden demand in healthcare and turned it into a viable business model. They describe how the service works, why it offers physicians flexible nonclinical income, and what they've learned about entrepreneurship along the way from testing ideas and bootstrapping growth to balancing compliance and trust.

Their story reveals how spotting a small but widespread problem can evolve into a scalable company and how physicians can leverage their expertise beyond the clinic to build real solutions for the medical community.

Dr. Matthew Jones is a former orthopedic surgeon who turned professional frustration into entrepreneurial innovation. After a decade in medicine, he pivoted from the operating room to the startup world and founded Towlos, a peer-to-peer trailer rental platform that makes adventure and mobility more accessible.

He explains how COVID-19, a passion for sports cars, and the challenge of finding the right trailer sparked the idea for a business that now operates nationwide. Dr. Jones draws parallels between surgery and entrepreneurship. Attention to detail, performing under pressure, and leading teams with precision and trust show how grit, creativity, and smart risk-taking can transform burnout into breakthrough ideas.

In this episode, I continue the story of our investment club, tracing its path from seven hospital-affiliated founders in 1993 to a 12-member group today, and sharing the practical choices that built the portfolio: $100 monthly contributions, the first purchase of Stryker, use of accounting software and My iClub, and disciplined stock selection with SSGs and Value Line. I explain how we balance diversification (about 20 stocks, with larger early positions in Apple, Google, and Microsoft), why we avoid frequent selling, and the buy-rules we use (double-digit revenue/earnings growth plus favorable P/E signals).

You'll also hear real numbers, recent 1-year and multi-year performance comparisons, lifetime annualized returns that outpaced the total market by roughly two percentage points, and how withdrawals (including my $25k and later $100k) affected personal balances, plus practical guidance on portfolio sizing, member contributions, and why the hands-on learning and friendships make the club worthwhile.

In this episode, I share insights from 32 years as a member of an investment club: how a small group with modest monthly contributions turned shared learning into growing financial asset. I walk through how the club was formed, why structure and consistency matter, and how education became just as valuable as the returns themselves.

From defining roles and ownership to managing taxes and using tools like BetterInvesting's Stock Selection Guide and Value Line reports, this episode is a practical look at what makes an investment club thrive. It's about community, discipline, and how learning together can build wealth.

James Hilovsky explains how physicians can use franchises to diversify income or transition out of clinical practice. After 25 years in the restaurant industry, from Del Taco to Pieology, he shifted to franchise consulting to help others avoid the mistakes he had witnessed others make.

He covers why franchises provide systems, support, and franchisee networks that make them safer than starting from scratch, plus specific industries that appeal to healthcare professionals: IV drip therapy, senior care, medical billing, and home-based options. He works with 600 franchises across all industries, helps with budget planning and territory selection, and offers services at no cost to clients. Typical timeframes range from 60 days for home-based franchises to a year for larger builds.

Dr. Saurubh Gupta shares how he built an AI startup alongside his full-time role as chief of cardiology and professor of medicine at an academic center. What began with building a ventilator company during COVID evolved into CorMetrix, a platform that solves medical data problems through artificial intelligence.

He explains how the Verix software helps attorneys and expert witnesses analyze thousands of pages of medical records through conversational queries rather than keyword searches, why physician founders understand healthcare problems better than technical founders, and practical advice for doctors interested in AI or startups, including why mentorship matters more than MBAs and how to be honest about skill gaps.

Listeners get free yearly subscriptions to try the software.
