Today we have two guests joining the show: Drs. Robin and Evander Fogle, from Atlanta, Georgia. Robin is a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Specialist, while Evander is an Orthopaedic Surgeon. In this episode, we discuss their stories of how they met, and their medical training paths across the U.S. (and Evander’s stint as staff surgeon at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.)

We focus most of the discussion on their challenges of making financial decisions as a couple and raising a family with busy practices – including the differences in how Robin deals with money vs Evander, yet how they make it work. They touch on buying that first house, savings vs spending, budgeting, the value of getting a professional’s input, the importance of delegation and more.
