The Eulogy Filter: How a Chiropractor Scales Wealth & Impact | Alex Tam


Listen Later

Most of us say yes to too much and pay for it with our time. Dr. Alex Tam shares the Eulogy Filter he uses to decide yes or no: write your eulogy, reverse your life goals, and only say yes if it gives you energy.


In this episode, you’ll hear how he kept serving patients, defined financial freedom in simple terms, and grew to 200+ units with community and systems. Proof that you don’t have to give up family time to build real wealth.

He and his wife launched their medical office in 2009, discovered real estate syndication in 2018, and after joining Jake & Gino and MIH, they grew into multiple JVs/GP roles across 200+ units. In 2022, he co-founded a Virtual Assistant company to help busy pros reclaim time. Today, he guides healthcare professionals to invest in multifamily for generational wealth without walking away from the work they love.
