What happens when a successful cardiologist steps off the traditional career path to reclaim his time, freedom, and family life? In this episode of The Flex Forward Podcast, Nic Espanet sits down with Dr. Ryan Mallory, an interventional cardiologist and founder of Halftime Freedom, to explore how he's redefined success on his terms.

Ryan shares his transition from a full-time employed physician to a 1099 locums lifestyle—working just 10 to 14 days a month while creating time and financial freedom through strategic short-term rentals and tax-efficient investing. He discusses how he uses geographic arbitrage to maximize income, how he's helping underserved communities, and why autonomy is a key antidote to burnout in medicine.

Whether you're a busy professional looking for better work-life balance or curious about passive income and time freedom, Ryan’s story is packed with actionable insights on mindset, risk-taking, and redefining career success.
