About Elisa Chiang, MD, PhD

Elisa, short for Elizabeth, is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon. After years in both private practice and a demanding hospital system, burnout pushed her to reevaluate her path.

She began investing during her MD/PhD program, tracking her net worth since 2005, and pursued financial independence before the FIRE movement gained widespread recognition. Inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, she flipped houses before completing medical school and later returned to real estate, leaving medicine behind.

Life coaching helped her recover from burnout and redesign her life. Now, Elisa helps others overcome burnout, shift their money mindset, and build a life of freedom on their terms.

About Dr. Tyson Cobb

Dr. Tyson Cobb is the Founder of Timberview Capital and a semi-retired orthopedic surgeon with over 20 years of experience in a high-demand medical career. Despite his success in surgery and patient care, the intense hours and stress led him to seek a more balanced financial and personal life. His journey into commercial real estate began as a side investment, motivated by market volatility and a desire for a steadier income. This exploration led to significant growth in his net worth, thanks to the stability of triple-net leases and the scalability of real estate syndications. These ventures not only offered substantial tax benefits but also the opportunity to generate passive income without compromising his time.

In 2019, Dr. Cobb made a pivotal decision to leave his surgical group, not to retire but to redefine his life. He now focuses on creating a sustainable legacy, giving back to the community, and building financial freedom on his own terms through strategic real estate investments.
