Physicians, not the government, will save U.S. healthcare - Dr. Brent Lacey28 Feb 202201:00:11

Episode 100 - This is a bittersweet episode for me, since it’s going to be my final podcast.  The last 2 years has been a phenomenal journey for all of us. I’ve gotten emails from so many of you telling me how valuable this content has been, and I’m so grateful to have been part of your journey.  I set out to create a platform to empower physicians to take control of their careers, their families, and their personal finances.  My hope was to embolden you with knowledge and encouragement so you can live your best life on your terms.  Now, after over 75,000 downloads, 100 weekly episodes, and 19 Sunday Specials, I hope I’ve given you some of those tools that you need.  

That’s why I’m so excited about today’s discussion.  As physicians, I think we know better than anyone else what we need to take care of our patients.  The government isn’t coming to help us.  The government is full of people who don’t know or can’t understand how to care for patients because they’ve never had to do it.  You’re a physician. You should be the one in charge of making decisions for your patients.  If we’re going to make that a reality, we have to start by taking charge of ourselves.

Find Your Perfect Work/Life Balance, Even in the Middle of the COVID-19 Crisis - Dr. Dawn Baker17 Aug 202000:49:53

Episode 18 - If COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on your life, you probably find parts of your life feeling off-balance.  Most physicians I talk to have felt that way for months!  Dr. Dawn Baker has written extensively about how to find and maintain work/life balance, and she joins us on The Scope of Practice Podcast today to share her insights.

What if you could feel like you are totally balanced between all the parts of your life?  What would it take?  What would you give for that?  Dr. Baker has some answers for you, and best of all, it's totally free.  In fact, it's better than that because it all comes directly from you!  Your ability to achieve balance is not out of reach.

Dr. Baker drops some incredible wisdom regarding achieving financial independence, the importance of good mentors, the value of self-knowledge, and (my favorite) how to avoid the "Hedonic Treadmill of Achievement."  This conversation will encourage and inspire you!

This episode is the first of a special series called "The Sunday Special."  It's an opportunity for us to talk to a Christian physician about their faith in God, their personal spiritual journey, and how their faith influences their career.   This is a separate series from the usual weekly episodes on business management and personal finance mastery.

I hope this episode offers you encouragement, hope, and love.  Thank you for listening!

How to Fix Your Marketing to Make Your Business Boom - Dr. J.J. Peterson01 Jun 202001:04:38

Episode 07 - Your competitors are getting more leads, more sales, more subscribers and more raving fans than you.  Why is that?  It's probably because your marketing isn't as clear as it should be.

I've learned that it's critically important to be clear when you're delivering your message.  You also need a clear path for people to follow in order to learn what you offer, then accept the offer and take action on it.

The best brands and the best sites aren't necessarily the ones that win.  The brands that succeed the most are typically the ones that have the clearest messages.  You need to make your messaging VERY easy for people to understand.

At Storybrand, Donald Miller and Dr. J.J. Peterson teach business owners how to clarify their messages so they can build their business.  In this episode, Dr. Peterson breaks down the elements of marketing that you need in order to make your messaging clear so you can grow your business.

Using Passive Income and Real Estate Investing to Secure Your Financial Future - Passive Income, M.D.25 May 202000:56:47

Episode 06 - Financial security is an illusion, if your only income is from your main job. Creating passive income, like through real estate investing, is all about gaining autonomy over our lives.

The tax code is massively skewed towards favoring real estate investing.  Other forms of income and investing tend to be taxed at higher rates.   So, real estate is especially important for high income earners like physicians to consider.

But, what if you don't have a lot of money?  Or any experience?  Fortunately, there are still great ways that you start your real estate investing portfolio.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Kim (a.k.a. Passive Income, M.D.) teaches us how to create streams of passive income through a variety of mechanisms, including real estate investing.  

Check out all the great resources mentioned in the show.

Sunday Special 19 - How to "residency-proof" your marriage (even if you're out of residency) - Hannah Pye05 Dec 202100:48:25

Sunday Special 19 - My guest today is Hannah Pye.  Hannah is an emergency department nurse married to a military pediatrician.  She and her husband have been married for 11 years and have moved 7 times. So, they’ve had a decent amount of experience in managing expectations during the medical journey. She is the creator of our new online course, “Residency-Proof Your Marriage.”  As a follow up to our recent Marriage and Money, M.D. summit, I thought it would be good to hear the perspective of a physician spouse on how to make a marriage work throughout the course of a medical career with all its pressures and challenges.  Hannah is amazing, and I think you’ll really enjoy hearing her discussion today.

Podcast Episode 87 - Can you really have it all?29 Nov 202101:01:09

Episode 87 - Today I’m going to do something a little different.  I’m bringing you two of my most popular talks from the recent Marriage and Money, M.D. Summit.  We had  over 1300 people register for the conference, and the speakers did an absolutely phenomenal job!  Today we ask, "Can you really have it all?"

This first conversation is with Drs. Nii and Renée Darko.  They met in medical school and married after a 10-year courtship. When they realized they were drowning in almost $700,000 of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments, they made a pact to pay off their student loan debt in 15 years. In only 3 short years, not only were they free of student loan debt, but during their debt payoff, they cash flowed several rounds of infertility treatments and quit their jobs to become entrepreneurs, starting 3 businesses. 

Our next speaker is Dr. Kate Mangona.   She and her husband Victor, are active and passive real estate investors in over 3 thousand multifamily units and single-family rentals and they lead a Multifamily Masterclass course where they teach others how to passively invest in real estate to grow their wealth as they sleep. Kate hosts the Medicine, Marriage & Money podcast and leads the Medicine, Marriage, & Money Coaching Program where she helps married women physicians with children spend less time arguing with their spouse, and more time reigniting the sparks once felt during their honeymoon.

Meet Jimmy Turner, M.D.

On the outside, Dr. Turner looked like he had it all together. From his days as the student body president of his medical school to the teaching awards and randomized control trial publications as an attending physician. He even had a successful online business as a podcaster and course creator.

But, on the inside, he was miserable. He constantly felt stuck. Burned out and overwhelmed, he kept looking for the next accomplishment or achievement to make him happy.

Dr. Turner didn’t realize until much later that there is a name for this. It is called an Arrival Fallacy – The idea that the “next thing” would be what finally makes him happy. He felt trapped in a life he didn't want. 

It was through mastering his mindset and his financial situation that he was finally able to live his life on his terms. Now, through coaching for physicians, Dr. Turner helps other doctors find the freedom he has found by helping them master their mindset, their money, and their balance.

Sunday Special 18 - My guest today is Dr. Chiagozie Fawole.  You know, medicine is undergoing some changes.  There are a lot of physicians feeling burned out, unappreciated, and not in control.  You may feel like you’re coming from a place of desperation.  Desperate to be heard.  Desperate to have autonomy, desperate to practice medicine on your own terms, desperate to be in a position of financial security, desperate to have the family life that you want. A lot of physicians don't realize that their experiences, strengths and even network, can be the answer to their own prayers and those of others. That’s why I’m so excited to have Dr. Fawole on the podcast today.  She’s going to talk to us about her personal experiences and how what she’s learned can help you be the physician God has called you to be as well as some tips for how to become financially empowered and defeat burnout.

It's Time to get Unbusy - Garland Vance, D.Min14 Feb 202200:41:35

 Episode 98 -When did the phrase, “I’m busy” become a badge of honor?  I’ve been wrestling with this lately.  When did we get to a point when someone asks “How’s it going?” and we reply “It’s busy” like it’s something we’re proud of?  I think part of it comes from the mistaken impression the busy-ness equals accomplishment. It’s all too easy for us to get caught up in the idea that being busy means we’re getting stuff done, or that we’re accomplishing everything we want to do.  Sometimes being busy just means running around putting out fires and never getting to the things that actually matter to you. Today’s guest is going to teach us how to get “un-busy” so we can reclaim our time and our sanity and make room for the things that are truly important to us. It's time to get Unbusy.

Sunday Special 17 - What Are You Afraid Of? - Dr. Deepa Sukumar03 Oct 202100:57:20

Sunday Special 17 - My guest today is Dr. Deepa Sukumar.  She has a unique story.  She grew up in India as a Hindu, but she turned from her religion to follow Jesus and the one true God.  If you know anything about Indian culture, you’ll know that her decision was incredibly risky and incredibly courageous.  By rejecting the gods of her culture, she was risking her relationship with her entire family.  But she stuck with it and she is on fire for God.  You can imagine how that would be an anxiety-inducing choice, and she has learned to not be anxious in anything but to rest comfortably in the knowledge and love of her Savior.  You’re going to have goosebumps listening to this story, so don’t miss out.

What to Do When Your Love for Medicine Fades - Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez13 Sep 202100:45:06

Episode 76 - My guest today is Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez.  Dr. E is a physician from Spain, and he is a lifelong entrepreneur.  He believes that physician entrepreneurship is the way out of our ill-managed healthcare system and so his mission, is to equip doctors and other healthcare professionals with the skills and strategies they need to succeed as healthcare entrepreneurs. 

Today, we’re going to talk about to do when the love fades.  What do you do when your love for a medical career isn’t as solid as it once was?  Does it mean it’s time to leave medicine?  Does it mean you need to stay and just change what you’re doing day to day?  Well, we’re going to go through all of that in today’s conversation.  

It’s an encouraging and empowering conversation.  Even if you’re totally on fire for your career and are excited to get to work every single day, I still encourage you to listen.  I guarantee that some of your colleagues, your partners, and your staff are feeling this burn, and the conversation may give you some tools that you need to help them address that.  Dr. E has a big heart for doctors, and I’m excited to share this interview with you.

Using Data-Driven Decision Making to Grow Your Business - Dr. Fisayo Ositelu06 Sep 202100:54:26

Episode 75 - Evidence-based medicine has been a big focus in the medical field.  If you can’t back up a plan with some kind of study or data point, we’re going to question whether it’s the right plan.  We don’t apply that same level of scientific inquiry to all situations though.  Take our businesses for example.  Are you committing yourself to data-backed decision making on a regular basis when it comes to hiring and firing, or taxes, business growth strategies, I think we tend to go with our gut or just try things and see what happens.  There’s a place for that, but I think we ignore data a lot of times in our businesses and just act on instinct.  That's why I'm so excited to introduce this week's podcast guest, Dr. Fisayo, Ositelu.

Dr. Ositelu is the cofounder and CEO of Gentem Health, a Silicon Valley-based technology company on a mission to help private medical practices stay independent by simplifying, accelerating, and maximizing reimbursements through its platform and service. Dr. Ositelu received his MD and MBA degrees from Stanford School of Medicine and Stanford Graduate School of Business.  Prior to founding Gentem, he worked in healthcare private equity and at the now well-known startup company, NerdWallet.  He’s going to talk to us today about how to take our evidence-based strategies that we use in medicine and apply those to our business.  This may sound like a statistics class,  but I promise it’s not, so don’t tune out.  These techniques we’re going to talk about today could save you tens of thousands of dollars just by learning what you need to pay attention to in your business.

How I Launched My Private Practice in the Middle of the COVID Crisis - Dr. Tolu Olabintan05 Sep 202100:50:19

Sunday Special 16 - My guest today is Dr. Tolu Olabintan.  She’s a family medicine physician and HIV specialist who left her steady job in the middle of the COVID crisis to start her own private practice.  She started out with telemedicine and then launched her in-person private practice this summer.  I’m not sure if there has been a more difficult time to launch a medical practice than the middle of the COVID shutdown, but there can’t have been many.  She’s dedicated to helping patient both spiritually and physically, and she’s bold about speaking the name of Jesus on her website, with her staff, and to her patients.  She’s got a unique background and I think her story will really inspire you.

Simple Media Strategies to Grow Your Practice - Dr. David Geier30 Aug 202100:52:52

Episode 74 - My guest today is Dr. David Geier.  Dr. Geier is an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist who helps athletes and active people feel and perform their best regardless of age or injuries. In addition to helping patients in his practice, Dr. Geier has learned to help people around the country and world through TV, radio, podcast, newspaper, magazine and online media interviews. Now he helps physicians and other experts with a message to share grow their practices and businesses by serving as an expert in the media.  It is death to your practice to have no media strategy or a lousy media strategy.  And the truth is, this stuff just isn’t that hard.  Like anything, there’s a skill set to pick up, and Dr. Geier is going to help us put that together.

It’s ok if you have no interest in getting interviewed on CNN or even on your local ABC affiliate.  If you never go on a podcast, that’s just fine.  But, as Dr. Geier says, your ability to show up strong in the media can be really helpful to your business and in turn will translate to opportunities to help more patients that find you just because you were on an interview.  If you’re thinking of branching out into the media, I’d encourage you to start small.  Start with your local newspaper or other small-time publication.  It’s low-risk, low-cost or no-cost, and it’ll help you get over the apprehension of doing it for the first time.  As you get more interviews and start to build some confidence, start branching out and doing more interviews.  Pretty soon, you’ll be a veteran. It just takes that very first time to get started.

Free Resource: Creating a One-Liner that Will Kickstart Your Business' Growth

Taxes, Cash Flow, and Other Blind Spots that are Killing Your Business - Courtney DeRonde23 Aug 202100:50:56

Episode 73 - You know, I tried to do accounting in college, and I absolutely hated it.  It’s just not fun for me.  Taxes are in that same category.  I just despise dealing with taxes. It’s frustrating and it’s complicated, and it changes all the time.  But, taxes are a certainty in life and in business, so I’ve had to figure out a way to be able to get good at it.  Still, it’s a major blind spot for me.  Business can be like that, with blind spots. Things that we’re just not good at.  Blind spots are inevitable.  Knowing that, we’ve got to figure out how to identify those blind spots and figure out ways to work through those.  Otherwise, we run the risk of having weaknesses in our business that can eventually unravel everything we’ve been working for. My guest today is Courtney DeRonde.  She’s a CPA and the founder of TPT Advisors.  I’m excited to have Courtney here to talk about taxes and other blind spots in our business and how to overcome them.  This is an important topic for any business leader.

He Started in Medical Device Sales, and Now He’s Leading a Global Company - Giovanni di Napoli16 Aug 202100:27:46

Episode 72 - What's the difference in leading a few people vs a global company that does business on six continents?  Nothing except size!  But, as Master Yoda wisely quipped, "Size matters not."  That's certainly true for today's podcast guest, Giovanni di Napoli.  He's the head of G.I. for Medtronic, but he started very small, as a medical device sales rep.  Over time, his demonstrated commitment to excellence and leadership earned him promotions that have since led him to his current position.

Gio has phenomenal experience leading complex and diverse organizations.  Today, he brings that experience to coach us on how to lead our teams more effectively.  Most of us will probably never run an organization as big as his, but the principles he talks about absolutely are bedrock foundational principles for all leaders in every industry.  This episode will inspire you to dream big dreams, take real action towards becoming a better leader, and take your team to the next level.

Prescription for Success: How Physicians Can Reclaim Control of the Healthcare System - Dr. Randy Cook09 Aug 202100:48:50

Episode 71 - My guest today is Dr. Randy Cook.  Dr. Cook spent 44 years practicing surgery, so he has seen a lot of changes in healthcare over the last half century.  After he retired, he became the host of the Rx for Success podcast where he interviews physicians who are making a difference in medicine.

He’s dedicated to helping physicians achieve success for themselves and their patients, and I couldn’t be more excited for you to hear his unique perspective.  If you’re ready to take healthcare back from the administrators and bureaucrats who have never practiced medicine, then this episode is for you.
