Amanda: Hello guys. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Amanda.
Laura: I'm Laura.
Kendra: I'm Kendra
Amanda: And I am so excited because we have Dr. Latifat Akintade here who is famous.
Laura: She's amazing.
Amanda: Yes. I'm so excited that she said, “yes” to meet with us. She teaches women physicians how to have money by combining financial education, life coaching tools, and lots of soulful joy, love and self-kindness through her program at MoneyFitMD. She has been on White Coat Investor, Rich Doc/Poor Doc, and even The Today Show. And I love this because I think financial liberation, as she calls it, is such an important tool for us physicians. It frees up so much of our worries and gives us the liberation that we deserve. So to start us out, Kendra is going to start with the first questions.
Kendra: Hi, Dr. Latifat, so great to have you on today. Welcome to our podcast.
Latifat: Thank you for having me. I'm really delighted to be here. It's the first time, I don't know, that I've been called famous, and I'm just like, no, I'm just a mama trying to create a less shitty world.
Amanda: You're famous to me.
Latifat: Well, thank you. It's such an honor to be here with you ladies. So, like I mentioned, I am just another mama trying to create a better world, but on a more formal note, I'm a GI doc. I’m based in California. I am also the mama of three ladies that keep me alert. And like you guys mentioned earlier, I'm the host of the MoneyFitMD podcast, and also the creator of this platform, which is where I literally get the joy, the honor and privilege of partnering with women physicians that wanna become the CEO of their own finances and take control of the finances. And go from wherever they are to where they thought they would never be able to reach.
Kendra: Awesome. So just give us a little bit of the backstory on what prompted you to start that MoneyFitMD podcast.
Latifat: Absolutely. Like a lot of us, our journeys to where we are is not what we predicted that it was gonna be. At no point in time did I ever think I was gonna be here, be an entrepreneur, freaking talk on anybody's stage. I mean, I'm the girl that only sings in a shower. Like that's literally, that was me and I, like a lot of physicians, went into medicine to do good things, to take care of patients. And that was my only goal. Just to be a GI doctor only. Not just in a diminishing way, but in terms of the number of hats that I wear.
And then what I found was, over the course of my career, I was, you know, doing what we should be doing, learning all the stuff. I became a fellow at that point. I had two children at that point, and I remember one day just sitting down, looking around and observing my attendings. And realizing that a lot of these amazingly smart human beings were kinda walking around with like their shoulders drooped and didn't feel like they had autonomy in how to practice medicine.
And I remember just having that moment of fear where I was like, “okay, I don’t wanna be a mama that is overworked, overwhelmed, and not being able to practice medicine in the way that I wanted to.” And for some act of God, I realized at that point, even though I knew zero about money, I realized that money was gonna be an important conversation in terms of me being able to maintain my voice in medicine, do good the way that I hope I could do, and for me, that's how I started the process of trying to figure out my own money stuff. Because prior to that, I knew nothing about money. I didn't know what I owed. I knew that I had student debt, but I didn't even know who I owed. I just signed whatever letter that sent me to get it outta my face every month. And I wasn't really paying much cause I didn't have the money to pay.
So for me, it was really going back to the basics of what is my money even going? Like, who do I even owe? Like, what's that 401k thing again, that I've been hearing people talk about, and I'd learned about like 5 billion times? But not knowing. So for me, I just started this whole process to solve my own problem. At no point did I think I was gonna be teaching anybody cuz again, eight years ago, I knew zero. So once I started out on this journey, though, I found out that my colleagues were asking for help. My family members were reaching out, and I started helping people.
Then I realized that I was not the only person that didn’t know anything about money. I was not the only person that missed a class (that never happened) in medical school. And still, I thought I was a physician, you know. None of this entrepreneur stuff was ever in my plan at all. And then the pandemic happened, and everybody and their mama were worried about money, freaking out about where their income was gonna come from.
Even my colleagues, who are amazing, were freaking out about money. And I just had that moment where I was like, “OK. I have zero worry about finances. I'm worrying about the more important things like health and safety and maintaining my kids' mental health in the middle of a pandemic.” And at that point, I realized that there was a gift that I had in breaking the stuff down that I really didn't feel like I had a choice, but to share. And that's how MoneyFitMD started.
Kendra: That is amazing. I love it. How you became a doctor to help people, and then you kind of stumbled into it, but began to develop this journey out of just trying to show up for yourself and show up as a mama, as a role model, as a physician, and then ended up being able to go beyond the scope that you could ever imagine. I love it. I love that story. Okay. So tell us a little bit about why it's so important for physicians to like, how you say, “get in the ring” with their finances.
Latifat: Absolutely. I mean, if you look around in this world, there's a lot of stuff happening in medicine. We are, I will speak for myself. It's a privilege and a joy to be able to care for patients the way that I get to. However, I also know that when I look around, the burnout is so high in medicine. It's always been high, even pre- the pandemic. However, the pandemic has really shown that there is a lot that's wrong in medicine and in healthcare. And so when I look around and I'm seeing so much burn out, we are exhausted. And there is a part of it where we're exhausted from being in this war zone, to be honest with you, for the last couple of years. However, there's also the part about how the external factors that's affecting medicine and really putting a crazy amount of demand on physicians that is not in a way that promotes wellness. And I know that again, when you think about why we went into medicine, we went in there to do good. And that girl or that dude is still inside of all of us.
But the thing is, like any relationship, I think of our medicine. I think of, you know, a marriage, for example, where you have, you know, someone and their spouse. And then you have like a huge wedge of in-laws in between that are literally driving a wedge between y'all. And that is how it sometimes feels when it comes to medicine. And for me, I truly believe that when physicians are at the table, when we are in places where decisions are being made, where we're able to speak our truth and say, “nah, I can't. That is not in line with the oath that I took.” I believe that that is gonna change medicine.
However, it is hard for us to do that as humans, when we are worried about our rent or our mortgage or our utilities and our kids, and just doing the basic stuff when it comes to finances. So for me, I truly believe that we cannot talk about changing the culture of medicine. We cannot talk about empowering ourselves without talking about the financial piece to it, because that's a huge burden for physicians.
And so when we learn to take care of that big burden, which trust me, it is easier than everything we do on a day-to-day basis in medicine. I truly believe that's the only way we're gonna change healthcare is by physicians understanding our role and being able to do it in the way that we promise to. And if finances is not something we worry about, it makes it so much easier and so much lighter for us to run the journey that we wanna run.
Amanda: You get me fired up every time you talk about, pretty much answer any question. “Yes! She's right!”
Latifat: You know, I mean, okay, so you ladies, so y'all are my people, so I'm gonna assume your audience are my people, even though I haven't met you or some of your audience before. But the bottom line is this: we are incredibly capable human beings. We are freaking badass physicians. And the fact that I, as a smart, I may not be the smartest person in the universe, but as a highly competent physician, whose brain does crazy shit (I'm a GI doc, y’all) every single day. For me to think, seven years ago or eight years ago, that I could not do money was really, in my opinion, the failure of our healthcare system to do a great enough job of educating me and equipping me. Who has anything to benefit by physicians not being empowered? It's the forces that wants us to think that we're not capable. So when we truly remember who we are, which is amazing badass humans that save lives, I mean, y'all are emergency medicine doctors, big hats to you. You do crazy stuff that I cannot even imagine doing every day. I can't think of people more equipped than us to be in money and bringing wealth and wellness to ourselves, our families and our communities. So that's why I get all excited about the stuff.
Kendra: I love it. Your enthusiasm is very contagious. Who are your typical clients and what are some of the common mistakes they're making before they start working (with you)?
Latifat: Absolutely. So on my podcast, anybody can listen to my podcast. However, I run a money school for women physicians, and it's exclusively for women physicians. And the reason why is because we need a space that is safe for us, where we can talk about our wins. We can talk about those things that sometimes we're shamed for outside in the world. It's just a safe space where women can empower other women. So some of the mistakes my people have made are the mistakes that I've made. And that's why I get it because I'm my people at different points in my life. And some of the most common things we did was: one is avoid our finances because we think it's hard, or we think we can trust somebody else to take care of it for us, so that we can focus on our zone of genius only, which is taking care of patients only.
But what I think is interesting is you can see how that parallels with our healthcare system, and how we as physicians, we've thought that our only zone is to take care of the patients in front of us. And we want somebody else to take care of everything else. I'm a huge believer in delegation. And I teach my women physicians how to delegate low quality tasks that are repetitive.
However, our finances are not low quality tasks, right? So the biggest mistake is number one, avoiding and delegating and thinking somebody else can be trusted more than our brains, which is ridiculous. Cuz our brains are like the most amazing brains in the world. Literally. The second thing is trying one way and believing that the fact that it hadn't worked that way means it's not going to work. That's number two. Number three is going to be only focusing on saving and not thinking or focusing on investments. Because what happens is when we don't focus on investments, we actually are literally avoiding the biggest gift that we have in the world, which is compound interest and also appreciation of assets and the things that we own.
So those are some of the most common things that I found when it comes to the women that I work with.
Amanda: So, now it's my turn to ask questions. It's Amanda. So I blasted through a bunch of your podcasts, which by the way, everyone right now start following MoneyFitMD podcast. She's this engaging in…
Latifat: Crazy?
Amanda: Enthusiastic.
Laura: Inspiring.
Amanda: Yes, no. I like, I'm just walking around, listening to you and like being fired up about my money. But anyway, in your episode number three, with Dr. Una who also is amazing. You guys talk about being the CEO of YOU incorporated. Y-O-U Inc. Tell us a little bit about that.
Latifat: Absolutely. Again, I'm just gonna say and acknowledge where we may be. We are tired. And it is impossible to not be tired when you've run the kind of marathon that a lot of us have run throughout our lives. Right? We go through undergrad. The med school, the residency, the fellowship, the 80 hours. We’re hecka broke, and we just cannot wait to get that first paycheck, right? And so it's no surprise that we, it's not human to run the race that we've run without being tired. So it makes complete sense that we just wanna hand everything over to someone else and just say, “I'm exhausted. Just let me do whatever I need to do. You take care of everything else.”
But what that has done is we have forgotten our biggest asset, which is us. And I mean, if anyone's listened to you guys, if anyone has talked about you, talked to you, looked at your resume, there's no question about the amazingness of your brain. So when we are not taking care of US Inc, which is the CEO-ness, the business of us, we are literally like someone that owns a business, and we're thinking we can go lie down at the- I'm not saying we're lying down at the beach- but like literally ignore our business until somebody else is gonna take care of it. Like no one can take care of it like us.
So I'm a huge fan of Dr. Una as well. She’s a fabulous friend. I love her. We both are passionate about physicians in general, and we just want physicians to be well and have money. And I talk about being the CEO of your personal finance, right? Cause sometimes we, as women physicians, we may have partners or we have like financial advisors or pretty much anybody with a pulse that's gonna take the burden of our finances, and we're like, just go take care of it, anybody else. But the thing is, though, we are the ones like with the brain, with the tool set. We may think we may not have time and we may not know how to do it yet, but no one can care about our business of our finances like us. We know it, we are passionate about it. And when we take care of ourselves and take care of our finances, it's amazing the things that we can build.
Amanda: Yeah, that podcast got me thinking, like, you know, if we were in charge of YOU incorporated, you would never overwork the face of the company. You would never have a haggard representative of your company. You would want that person to be, you know, healthy and in it for the long term, instead of just accepting. You know, you wouldn't accept stuff that you really shouldn't be doing or overworking or any of those things. If you saw yourself as the most valuable asset of your longevity and keeping this business of YOU running, It just was like insightful to me, both for money and just, in general, like the concept of being CEO of YOU Inc.
So next episode is episode number 16, of MoneyFitMD podcast. Can- you mentioned the three components of ideal wealth are: impact, legacy, and to create your definition of a rich life. Do you wanna let our listeners know a little bit about each of those?
Latifat: Absolutely. And that was a episode that I recorded at a very tender part of my life, where my dad was sick, unfortunately passed about a year ago. And a lot of the podcasts I was recording about that time were reflections of the things that I learned from him. Things that I wish he had verbally taught, but maybe had not taught, hadn't had time to teach, or didn't even know how to articulate. And I think as humans, we have a lot of negative baggage in our minds about what money and wealth could be.
But what I do is I sit down, cuz I don't believe in extremism in one way or the other. And I love to learn from, you know, you have to take the best of all the world. And what I realize is that when it comes to living a wealthy life is number one: we wanna take care of ourselves, just like you were mentioning earlier, taking care of you incorporated, like, you know, The Whole Physician. It's exactly what your podcast is about. Right? When we take care of the whole physician, the whole physician rests, the whole physician sleeps. The whole physician manages their emotions, right? The whole physician doesn't overwork herself, right? So it's about establishing that, creating relationships. So it's not just the money only, but it's creating the rich life that is worth indulging in. It's taking care of remembering who we are. It's liking ourselves. It's taking care of the personal finance, where our money is going, where we're investing, but also indulging in the relationships that we have been blessed to be a part of.
So that is huge in it. Right. And then we talk about impact. I truly believe that when you give, you receive. And I truly believe that money is a tool that is meant to be a blessing to the world. So the best kind of money- it's going to be looking for who to partner with. And I cannot think of better partners than women and women physicians. Because when we receive, we can give. And that given, right, has to do with things like building our wealth for ourselves, for the future, but also creating impact in a way that gives us joy. And I mean, physicians, I don't care how much you get paid as emergency medicine docs, and any physician, to be honest, like there's no amount that we can get paid that truly equates the kinda work that we do. And it's because we do it, not just for the money, although we, I do want everybody to get that money. But we do it because of just giving, because that giving, right, it's creating impact. It gives us value. It makes our lives richer. It makes our lives wealthier.
And so for me, when I think about all those three components, it is all together. It's not overworking without getting paid. It's not, “well, at least you save the lives, so we want you to do 10 more shifts without pay.” None of that BS. It's all of it together. It's having the money, the impact, growing it, having it, and doing better and more in our community as a whole.
Amanda: So this kind of leads into, you know, if you have a mindset that people with money are evil. Well, what if you flipped that and we gave the money to the good guys. It would make so much more sense to then be able to do good things with money. And so you've said before, something like 20% of accumulating money is numbers, but the rest is mindset. And just tell us a little bit about that, cuz it's so important.
Latifat: Absolutely. It's actually, it brings to mind one of the women that joined my program about three months ago, amazing physician. Because I do believe every woman physician is amazing. It's a bias that I have, so sorry everybody else. Yeah, but she is amazing.
Laura: We’re good with that.
Latifat: OK perfect. I'm talking to my people then. So she joined our program about three months ago, and she's been in practice for a long time. And I remember when she said, “I know nothing about money because money. Money's complicated. I just, I, I make good money. It's all in cash. I don't know where to start.” And literally we just had, so we're recording this on a Friday. We had a meeting, our coaching call I do. I host a coaching coach twice a month in my program, and this has only been three months, and I cannot tell you all the crazy stuff she's done. Right? She is doing things like she's maximizing her 401k for the first time in her life. She's doing like a Roth IRA. She's doing a taxable account. She just started taking a class to start investing in real estate. Literally three months ago she knew nothing. Right? And the reason why I share that is it's not because her intelligence changed. It's not because finally now her brain has expanded to that of a PhD. No, it's really because we talked about the things that really stands between us and the 20% that really is the number part. And that is the mindset part, the changing our mentality into going from what we don't think, what we think we can do or not do, to what we think we actually wanna achieve and giving ourselves the tools to decrease our own brain drama- based on everything that we've walked through throughout our own life- so that we can now start to really get in tune with who we're born to be, which is: YOU incredibly great with money.
So that's the mentality part that we have to sometimes unlearn because we've gone through our whole life learning things like money's hard. Money's the root of evil. You are a physician, you shouldn't do money. Don't worry about money, somebody else will do it. Don't spend your money. Super save your money only, and all this other stuff that was never, ever done or taught with women and women physicians specifically in mind.
So when we get through all that, it becomes super simplified because then you're like, “really? it's just a matter of knowing what I'm earning, where it's going, what I'm investing and having fun the rest of the time.”
Amanda: Yeah, that's perfect. And that leads me into my last question, and I'll pass it off to Laura after this. But would, if you had somebody that came and said, “I have no idea what to do,” what would you tell 'em to do to start? Where can they start?
Latifat: Absolutely. I would say go listen to my podcast. I have so much. And I say that as a joke, a little bit, but also seriously, because I have people that listen to my podcast that have never paid me a penny, and I get messages from them about the stuff that they're doing with their finances, because now they believe they can. Right? And I like to simplify stuff because why make it complicated when it could be simple. So, the way I think about it is this. When someone, if I have a camera in front of my house, someone comes into my house. I can see them on camera. And now they're in the door. Inside the house. My first question is this is my home. I wanna know where they're going. Are they going to the living room? Are they going to the kitchen? Are they in the dining room? Are they in the bathroom? So the same thing when it comes to money, when your money comes in, where is it going? Is it going into spending this, into spending that, into like where, what is happening to your money?
And a lot of times what happens is we have so much brain drama already because we think we're bad with money. Even though based on data, women are actually good with money. We're less likely to invest, but when we do, we actually do a better job than our other counterpart. So the question really is when you follow simplicity. Where is my money going?
What is it doing? And then ask yourself, are you happy with what your money's going? Or do you wanna make a different decision? Meaning that if you're finding out that all your money is going toward paying bills, towards paying interest and stuff, towards paying for things that were great idea when the pandemic started, that is costing you a thousand dollars per month but you’re no longer using it, cuz it sounded like a great idea before. Like just now ask yourself, do I wanna make this decision again, or do I wanna reroute where it's going? Do I wanna say, “Don't go to the dining room. I want you to know the living room.” Or, “No, the kitchen is what you should be.” So just simplifying those things are really, really important. But the other part of that is also important because I think as women, a lot of our decisions, a lot of our education focuses on our spending, but not on the investment piece. So I wanna make sure that that is addressed as well.
So just asking yourself, “Where is my money also going when it comes to investing right now? Am I doing things like a 401k or a 403b (depending on your setup)? Or not?” And again, no judgment. It's just a matter of awareness, and then asking yourself what you wanna do better.
So if you know, not investing, how can I start investing? How can I automate it? So I don't have to remind myself to do it every single month. Like how do I do that process? And just really going down as simple as that. So if you haven't done anything yet, if you can just start with that, that is going to get you way ahead, and then we can now take it from there.
Laura: Love it. Thank you. Awesome. So we heard your story of the family with the yearly income of $750,000 and with the net worth of zero. So how does that even happen? And can you explain to us the concept of paying yourself first?
Latifat: Absolutely. And I, I hear a lot of story, and I say that as a fact, not as a judgment. Because a lot of times when people are in that situation, they've already judged themselves so much. And that's the thing, right? There's so much shame about where we are, that when we are letting that shame decide what we don't do or what we do, we don't move. Or we move in a way that is so heavy. It's like trying to hike our way with like 10 children sitting down on our back. It's just heavy. It's hard. And it causes burnout. And there's already so much happening to us already. The last thing we need is more judgment. So I say that not from a place of judgment, but just from a place of fact. So yes. There are many people that are making a lot of money, whatever you define by a lot or a little bit, but living paycheck to paycheck.
And I believe it's only because we don't know the how. So when we learn the how, things change. And so the whole concept about paying yourself first is the whole idea of asking yourself- because if something comes in, if money comes in- if you don't have a plan for it, life is gonna happen to it. Which means that it's gonna get spent. And we as women physicians, we're such givers that when the money gets here, it finds things to do. Like we give to our spouse, we give to our kids, we give to our neighbor, our tenants and their mamas. Like we are great at finding where to put money except into our future. And so the whole idea of paying ourselves first is asking yourself, what do I need to put into place for myself in future. And this is so important because, again, we talked about burnout earlier. We talked about the fact that nothing is guaranteed. I have people that end up being disabled for different reasons, or lose a spouse for whatever, or they go through a separation or divorce, or they hate their job because things are being done that are unethical.
So I talk about paying yourself first. It's not just about paying yourself first when you're 90. But just taking care of the future version of Latifat. And the way that I like to think about that is depending on what your age is. So maybe you're 40 years old, just asking yourself your future version of, you know, Latifat at age 50 or Latifat at age 65. What decisions would I make right now when it comes to my money and my life and my wellness that would make Latifat at the age of 50 go, “wow, thanks girl. Like this is a baton and you did great. Now it's my turn to keep doing the work, whatever that is, for our 65 year old version.” Like I think about my 65 year old version, what will I put into place that will make her go, “Thank you so much, girl. You took care of us. You had fun. You created impact. You saved us money. You set us up for life, girl.” Those are the conversations. So when I talk about you paying your future self first, I want you to think about that version of yourself and say, “What finances would you put in place?”
So, in my mind, I know that my future version would be happy to have emergency funds. I know that she would be happy to know that she doesn't have to like start working 80 hours a week in order to prepare for my 75 year old version. I know that she would like to look at the net worth and go, “Girl. Wow. You did great. Okay. So this is what you had in place. This, I mean, I know you put like 500 grand, now it's like a million dollars. Like this is wow. You took advantage of compounding interest. So what am I gonna do to make sure that my other version is now fine. I also saw that you did not overwork yourself. You took care of yourself. You got checked by your doctors, you got your pap smears. So, you know, you got your colon cancer screening.”
Shout out, y'all get your colon cancer screening at age 45, not 50. Okay. Yes. Right. So the bottom line is that's how I think about it, cuz I can make it really complicated. But if you really just ask yourself those basic questions, write it down, and then do things that's gonna make her in future say thank you. And that is part of paying yourself first is setting that in place and now spend what is left today as opposed to spending everything today and waiting for your 65 year old version with arthritis to be rounding overnight doing like 80 hours per week.
Amanda: I heard a, something that motivated me, and for other people that are people pleasers. It said one of the greatest gifts that you can give your kids is to not depend on them financially in your older age. And that, for somebody who, you know, if they're not inclined to put themselves first, do it for your kids, get your finances in order for your kids.
Laura: Oh yeah, absolutely. That is such an important gift to give.
Latifat: Gives them, gives you, right? I am, ugh. I mean, I think the reason why I feel so passionate about this is I am exactly what, where a lot of people may be at some point in my spectrum. So people pleasing, I am the mother. I'm a recovering people pleaser. I'm the middle child of seven. I was born to people please so I can know that I exist, right? I, I can literally give, you know, a thesis on people pleaser, but ultimately we have to understand that people pleasing is also for a benefit. It's because we feast on that little dopamine from like the “Thank you. You've done great.” But we have to make sure we're pacing that for the long haul, and our kids are gonna thank us better in future when we're not relying on them to be our source of food when we are our sixties or seventies.
Laura: Absolutely. So you have a free mini course: Four Steps That Will Change Your Relationship With Money. Could you tell us a little bit about that?
Latifat: Absolutely. Absolutely. So what I did with that minicourse is I pretty much asked myself, “What are the four main things we get lied to about?” That's pretty much it. Oh, we get misunderstood. Right. And number one is about the spending. Everyone thinks that they need a crazy spreadsheet. They need the best budgeting app. So part of that is I talked about how to create a spending plan, especially if you hate numbers and spreadsheets, which is me. I don't like, I don't love numbers. I tolerate them to the extent that is enough for survival and building my network. But I don't care about all the complicated math.
I don't have to impress anybody, so I don't need to be great at math more than I need to be great at math. So I talk about the spending part of it, which is how to create your own spending plan. And then the number two thing that I think has been misunderstood is understanding debt and how to reframe how we think about debt. I think as physicians, we tend to be afraid of debt. As women physicians, we've been taught to hate debt for good reason, right? We don't wanna, we don't wanna live our life on debt completely and all that stuff. But I do think there's a middle ground where we can use debt in a way that actually leverages, builds our net worth, without us being overburdened by it. So that's the other two second thing that I talk about. And then I talk about how to make more money. So that's a third thing. And the fourth thing is how to change our mentality when it comes to wealth.
Laura: Okay, that sounds amazing. And you guys can find that at www.moneyfitmd.com/freedom.
Latifat: Yes. Freedom.
Laura: So how do people get in contact with you to find out more, to work with you?
Latifat: Absolutely. So if you wanna learn more, if you are like, “Okay, Latifat, I get it. I'm tired of you screaming at me on The Whole Physician podcast. I am just going to go listen.” Go listen to my podcast. I talk about, there's a lot of stuff that I just share on there. It's my love project. I love to give. So I want everybody, whether you're a physician or not to go learn.
So my podcast, the MoneyFitMD, is a great place to start,and you can also go on my website. It's MoneyFitMD.com. There, you can learn more about how to contact me. And it could also learn about the community that I have for women physicians that want to learn how to become the CEO of their personal finance and take control of their finances without complicated formula, or having to sell their children in order to have money.
Amanda: Wait, can we do that?
Latifat: It may not be legal. I've tried.
Laura: That's awesome. So do you have any closing thoughts for our listeners?
Latifat: Absolutely. I mean, first of all, thank you guys for having me here. Thank you for doing what you do. I mean, if you guys are listening to their podcast, three physicians getting together takes a lot of commitment, a lot of dedication. So thank you guys for doing what you do and being part of our co-partner cuz it really takes all hands on deck to help physicians heal. Because I do think that it is way overdue. And in terms of money, if you're listening to this podcast, I have zero doubt. I don't need to know anything about you, except for the fact that you are a physician, which means that you are exactly the person that is meant to have money.
And it is not hard. We may think it's hard because of everything that everybody has taught us or not about it. However, if I can do it, you can do it too, and there's a lot of help out there. You don't need to sit down in shame or guilt or regret. All that is useless. It would be my honor to partner with you and help you however I can in this money journey, cuz I want you to be well. Our world needs you alive. Physicians suicide, way, way too high. I'm tired of those numbers. We need to do something about it. And if your finances is a reason why you're stressed, then absolutely, absolutely come find me. And it'll be my pleasure to work with you.
