The MoneyMindsetMD Podcast

Hello MoneyMindsetMD Tribe!

What if building wealth through real estate didn't mean buying rental properties, managing tenants, or taking on another job?

This week I'm joined by Leslie Awasom, co-founder of Xsite Capital Investments and former Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), for a conversation about rethinking real estate investing and creating wealth beyond your paycheck.

Leslie spent years working long hours in healthcare, earning a great income but realizing that his time was becoming increasingly limited. A moment with his young daughter made him question what all that hard work was really costing him. That realization eventually led him to explore real estate investing and discover the opportunities available through multifamily properties.

We talk about how Leslie went from owning a traditional rental property to helping busy professionals invest in apartment communities through real estate syndications. He breaks down what it actually means to own a piece of a multifamily property, how these investments generate income, and why buying an apartment complex is more like buying a business than simply purchasing real estate.

And because no investment is without risk, we also get into what investors should understand before putting their money into multifamily deals, including financing, cash flow, reserves, and the importance of choosing the right operators.

If you've been curious about investing in real estate but aren't interested in becoming a landlord, this conversation will give you a different perspective on what's possible.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Leslie's journey from healthcare to full-time real estate entrepreneurship
• Why earning more money doesn't always translate into more freedom
• How multifamily real estate investing and syndications work
• The difference between owning a rental property and investing in an apartment business
• Potential cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits
• Risks to consider before investing in multifamily real estate

Hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe!

Have you ever watched one of your investments drop and immediately thought, Okay… should I sell?! 

Or watched a stock take off and suddenly felt like you needed to get in before you missed your chance?

That emotional pull is real—and in this episode, we’re talking about what happens when fear, excitement, scarcity, and even the money beliefs we grew up with follow us into the stock market.

I’m joined by Dr. Laquore Meadows, CEO and co-founder of Invest to Give and founder of Stocks and Soar. Dr. Laquore went from knowing very little about the stock market to becoming an investor and trader, eventually building an additional stream of income that helped her create a path out of a career where she was no longer happy.

We talk about getting started in the stock market, long-term investing versus trading, knowing your risk tolerance, and why having a plan for when you’ll enter and exit a trade matters. We also get into the part that doesn’t always show up on the investment charts: managing your emotions when the market moves, recognizing the childhood money beliefs you may still be carrying, and learning not to let fear make your financial decisions for you. 

And yes, we talk about how Dr. Laquore eventually traded her way out of her job, and why she does not recommend quitting your job tomorrow to become a full-time trader. 

Because learning how to invest is one thing. Learning how to manage yourself when your money is on the line? That’s a whole different skill.

Let’s get into it.

Hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe! 

You can have a great CPA and still need to understand what’s happening with your own taxes.

In today's episode, I’m joined again by CPA Taiwo Agbaje for a conversation about tax strategy, financial literacy, and what high-income physicians should understand if they want to keep more of what they earn and build wealth intentionally.

Taiwo breaks down why you don’t have to become a tax expert—but you do need to know enough to ask the right questions, review your return, and recognize when something doesn’t look right. As she explains, the responsibility for an accurate tax return ultimately still sits with you, even when you hire someone else to prepare it. 

We also get into the differences between W-2 and 1099 income, tax considerations for locums physicians and practice owners, maximizing legal deductions, quarterly estimated taxes, real estate, retirement strategies, charitable giving, and even how strategic debt can play a role in building wealth.  

Because earning more is only part of the equation. You also need to understand how to keep more, invest more, and make your money work for you.

Hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe!

What if your “passive income” ends up becoming another job?

In today’s episode, I'm joined by real estate investor and entrepreneur Clint Harris for a conversation about what it actually looks like to use real estate to create more freedom—not more work.

After years of investing in single-family homes and Airbnbs, Clint reached the point where his real estate income had replaced his income from medical sales. But there was a problem: between managing properties and building a property management company, he'd created another job for himself. That realization changed the way he thought about investing and eventually led him toward passive real estate and self-storage.

We talk about how real estate syndications work, why physicians don't necessarily need to become active real estate investors, what to consider when choosing an operator, and why your goals should come before the investment opportunity, not after it. Clint also breaks down his transition into self-storage and what he's learned about evaluating risk and opportunity across different real estate asset classes.

Most importantly, we talk about the bigger question behind all of this: What are you actually trying to create with your money?

Because building another income stream isn't necessarily freedom if you've simply given yourself another thing to manage.

If you've been curious about passive real estate investing, or wondering whether you really need to become the real estate expert yourself, this conversation will give you a different way to think about it.

Hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe!

What happens when you’re a physician who has worked hard, earns a good income, and even has a financial advisor—but still doesn't really feel like you're in the driver's seat of your financial life?

That’s exactly the conversation I had with Dr. Shameem Nazeer.

Dr. Shameem shares her journey from having very little interest in finances to becoming deeply invested in learning about real estate, the stock market, and building wealth. We talk about why you can’t completely outsource your financial life, what it actually means to be the CEO of your money, and why having a financial professional doesn’t mean you get to stop asking questions.

We also get into something I think so many physicians need to hear: making more money isn't always the answer. Sometimes creating more freedom starts with understanding what you actually need, what you're spending, and what you're willing to trade your time for.

If you've ever felt like you should know more about investing, wondered whether you're doing enough with your money, or simply want to become more confident and engaged in your financial life, this conversation is for you.

Hey hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe! 

One of the biggest misconceptions about building wealth is that it comes from simply earning more money.

The truth? Wealth is built through strategy.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Seun Adeyemi-Jones, to talk about what physicians really need to know about managing, investing, and growing their money.

We discuss why so many high-income professionals still feel financially stuck, how our upbringing shapes the way we think about money, why working harder isn't always the answer, and practical steps physicians can take to start building wealth with intention.

Whether you're just finishing residency, paying off debt, or looking for smarter ways to grow your wealth, I think you'll walk away with a new perspective—and a few actionable ideas you can start implementing right away.

Let's dive in!

Hey MoneyMindsetMD Tribe! Welcome to Season 4 of the MoneyMindsetMD Podcast!

I'm so excited you're here because we're kicking off this season with a conversation that I truly believe sets the foundation for everything we do when it comes to building wealth.

In this episode, I sit down with licensed mental health counselor, financial therapist, and author Aja Evans to explore something we don't talk about nearly enough: the emotional side of money.

Have you ever wondered why you can be earning a great income but still feel anxious about money? Or why certain financial decisions feel so much harder than they "should" be? Together, we unpack how childhood experiences, money trauma, and financial anxiety quietly shape the way we earn, spend, save, and invest.

As women physicians—and especially as many of us are first-generation high-income earners—it's easy to think that making more money will automatically bring peace. But as Aja shares, true financial freedom isn't just about growing your income. It's also about healing your relationship with money.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What money mindset really is and how it's formed
• The difference between financial anxiety and money trauma
• Why high-income earners can still feel financially insecure
• Lifestyle creep, survivor's guilt, and the pressure to "keep up"
• Practical ways to begin building financial safety and confidence

I hope this conversation encourages you to give yourself grace, become more curious about your own money story, and take one more step toward building a healthier relationship with money.

I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to Season 4—I can't wait to take this journey with you

Hey Money Tribe! Today’s episode is a little different because I’m sharing more about my personal journey — not just as a physician, but as an investor learning what it really takes to build wealth intentionally.

Many of you have heard me talk about money mindset, strategy, and ownership on this podcast. But I realized I haven’t fully shared what my own investing journey has looked like behind the scenes, the decisions, lessons, and mindset shifts along the way.

In this episode, I talk about graduating residency with over $500K in student loans, navigating burnout and scarcity thinking, and eventually stepping into real estate investing and launching my first Airbnb property.

I also share what it’s actually been like operating a short-term rental while still working clinically, and why having a clear financial strategy matters so much for high earners. Because one of the biggest things I’ve learned is this: High income alone doesn’t create wealth. Without structure and intentional investing, it’s easy, even for high earners, to find themselves working harder without feeling more financially secure.

I also share where I am right now in my investing journey and how I’m thinking about scaling into larger opportunities.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move from earning well to building real wealth, this episode is for you.

Hey Money Tribe! After taking a short pause to reset, reflect, and realign, I’m back — and we’re starting a brand-new series on Strategic Wealth Planning.

In this episode, I’m talking about a powerful truth that many high-earning women overlook: income alone does not create legacy. Ownership does. I’m sharing my own reflections, the mindset shifts I’ve been working through, and the real barriers I see first-generation wealth builders face — from scarcity thinking and perfectionism to financial avoidance and fear of starting.

If you’ve been earning well but still feel like you’re chasing money instead of building freedom, this conversation will help you start thinking differently about wealth, ownership, and the way you want to build your life moving forward.

Hey Money Tribe! In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Olapeju Olasokan—Dr. Peju—a physician-executive and leadership coach who is redefining what it looks like for women in medicine to lead boldly, visibly, and authentically.

Dr. Peju shares her journey from clinical medicine into corporate leadership, and what it really took to navigate imposter syndrome, cultural expectations, and the internal shifts required to stop shrinking and start owning her power. We talk about the mindset pivots physicians must make when they feel called to more—more impact, more influence, more fulfillment—without burning themselves out in the process.

This conversation is especially for the physician who knows she’s capable of more, but hasn’t yet given herself permission to invest in her leadership, her voice, and her next level. Dr. Peju breaks down why leadership is not an accident, why visibility matters, and how developing executive presence is a form of self-trust—not ego.

If you’ve been feeling restless, overlooked, or unsure how to pivot without losing yourself, this episode will meet you right where you are and challenge you to think bigger about what’s possible for your career, your legacy, and your life.
