If you're new to our community, you probably haven't heard the news: we've become digital nomads! You might be wondering what that even means. Well, in late August 2021, we put everything in storage and packed the rest of our belongings into 22 suitcases and are now traveling as a family unit of 7 people around the world!

In this episode we talk about the reasons we decided to embark on this journey. We also share some of the challenges of becoming digital nomads and how we are planning to address those challenges. Finally we share some strategies for how you too can make this a reality for you and your family.

If you want to follow us on our journey, be sure to follow us on Instagram and YouTube. We'll be posting pictures and videos of our journey.

Do you own a medical practice? Are you thinking about starting one? If so, you're not going to want to miss this episode!

If you own a medical practice, one the most important considerations is to start with the end in mind. In other words, how much are you going to sell your practice for when you're ready to move on?

In this episode, we speak with valuation expert, Chris Young. Chris is passionate about helping doctors, who "dedicate their life to service" set themselves up for retirement by maximizing the value of their practices.

During this episode, he breaks down the sources of value for a medical practice and how to maximize them at the time of sale. Just like we do with our rentals (or you can with any business for that matter!), you can "force" appreciation of your business by increasing income and decreasing expenses to raise the value.

If you're ready to learn how to maximize the value of your business, check this one out!

This is the very first of our Student Spotlight series where we interview students from our Zero to Freedom Course. The goal of this series is to hear about their real estate journeys with the hopes that their stories will inspire you to take action!

We couldn't have asked for a better guest than Alisa for our first student spotlight. She took our Summer 2020 course and immediately started taking action. Since taking our course, she has purchased two duplex and three short-term rentals!

And oh by the way, she is a full time pediatric gastroenterologist, medical director of IBD Center, mother with four children (two are autistic) and doing all of this alone because her husband is not involved (though he is very supportive!).

So if you've ever thought to yourself, how am I going to work a full time job and build a rental portfolio, think of Alisa!!

Many accountants approach taxes as something to fear. You hear them saying that taking advantage of certain tax benefits will trigger an audit.

Tom and his team of accountants take the opposite approach. They view the tax code as a series of incentives and that it's their responsibility to help you benefit from these incentives and reduce your taxes.

In this episode, we cover a number of important topics:

• How you're "dead in the water" if you're just a W2 wage earner. To be able to take advantage of tax incentives, you need to be a real estate professional or own a business
• The importance of tracking hours for real estate professional status
• The secret to approaching audits the right way!
• We had an interesting discussion about the evolution of real estate professionals and what multi-million dollar real estate investors are doing differently than the average investor and what makes them successful

Burnout is a word not often spoken (at least, not out loud) within the physician community, but today's guest, Russ Richmond of Laudio, seeks to change that stigma. Burnout led him on a journey of self-discovery that he shares daily with those around him, and he gives us a ton of keys to success. Learn how effective leadership, self-belief, and even proper management structure can make a huge difference in burnout and our fulfillment at home or on the job. Richmond went from working 12-hour days as a physician and quitting due to burnout to creating Laudio to help others manage each other and themselves more effectively. You won't want to miss it!

This is your time! We felt it was a great time to review the year that was 2020, and we invite you along for the journey. Each of us brought three "takeaways" from our portion of the businesses, Kenji with real estate, Leti with SRMD. There was definite common ground with mindset work and limiting beliefs, and we refer to our Year in Review blog posts, found here: https://semiretiredmd.com/our-real-estate-year-in-review-2020-part-i-investment-property-sales/ We hope you can learn from our experiences in 2020 to help make 2021 the best year yet.
