Being a successful MD doesn’t mean putting my dreams on hold. I took my life-saving skills from the clinic to the boardroom, diving into coaching and real estate. Thanks to the ELF vs. HALF principle I learned from Joe Polish, I’ve mastered focusing on what’s “easy, lucrative, and fun”—and ditching the rest.
Now, I’m all about achieving the "five freedoms"—time, financial, geographic, vitality, and growth—while empowering others to break free from traditional boundaries.
In this episode, I’ll share how I’m helping 100,000 doctors unlock their limitless potential, one bold move at a time!
In This Episode:
- ELF vs. HALF
- Pandemic's impact on physicians
- Non-Clinical Income (NCI)
- Coaching as a zone of genius
- The five freedoms
- Embracing new ventures
- Concept of "and" for identity
- Helping 100k doctors

It's interesting how some people are addicted to self-development. Some call it motivation porn. But if you're not seeing the results you want, it's time to stop and reflect.
I call this the guru detox—a time to introspect, journal, and see what comes up. Are you not feeling enough? Loved? Successful?
By cutting off external stimuli and creating space for stillness, you can amplify your inner wisdom and find the guidance you need to be your authentic self.
Join me as I explore the power of pressing pause on the endless stream of coaches, conferences, and courses to reconnect with your own inner truth.
In This Episode:
- The concept of a guru detox and why it's important
- Examples of silent retreats and their profound impact
- The three groups of people and their relationship with self-development
- My personal journey with meditation and finding inner wisdom
- Competing voices and finding your authentic truth
- How long should your guru detox last?
- Practical tips for creating your own reflective retreat

Ever feel like you're chained to your stethoscope? I get it. But imagine a life where your income isn't completely dependent on seeing patients. That's the beauty of Non-Clinical Income (NCI)! It's been a game-changer for me.
In this episode, I'm sharing my personal journey and the strategies I've used to build NCI. It's about liberating yourself from financial stress and designing a life with true freedom and flexibility – so you can actually pursue those passions you've been putting off!
I'll break down how I optimized my clinical income, explored different investments (both passive and active!), and started building assets that generate real wealth. Plus, I'll share the three financial milestones I've used to achieve stability, independence, and ultimately, freedom. It's a roadmap you can follow too!
"Non-clinical income will make you free...It's where your stethoscope is not working for you, but it's your brain that's working for you."
In This Episode:
- What is NCI, and why does it matter to doctors?
- How I optimized my clinical income
- Passive & active investments
- Why NCI is so important for physicians
