Is it possible to be a Doctor and still feel like you failed at something?! Well, that’s how I felt. Recently on Twitter, a heated conversation occurred on student loan debt between a medical student and a prominent physician blogger.

That’s right, Renee joins me to talk about the emotions of chasing a dream and the financial consequences that came along with it.      The Guest:  Our student loan debt – all $662,000 of it!!!   These are the 4 main things we discussed in this episode: Finding out we didn’t know much about money Nii’s story (7:30) Renee’s story 36:00 Our verdict on student loan payback programs (51:19)   Transcription: (coming soon)   Resources: 73% of Americans Support Student Loan Forgiveness   This episode is sponsored by:    Provider Solutions & Development.

What’s good everyone!! For the first time ever on DOTB – we got a freestyle battle going on! Dr. Wendy McDonald, a.k.a. Dr. Every Woman, jumps on the hotseat to talk about how she creates her viral parodies. She has created parodies of famous hits from Lizzo, Hamilton, and Chance The Rapper.

What’s good everyone, Skip Bayless has been a consistent force in the TV sports commentary arena for almost two decades. Known for his stubborn and contrarian views, he’s really made a name for himself being way too focused on the short list of negatives of Lebron James’ career. Two weeks ago, he put his foot in his mouth with his comments and dismissal of Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott’s self-described bout of depression. Kwesi and Dr. Dawn Brown join me on today’s episode to discuss his comments and the effect it could have on other athletes and health care professionals.   Get in touch with Dr. Dawn: @drdawnpsychmd Drdawnpsychmd.com Adhdwellnesscenter.com   This episode is sponsored by Professional Solutions & Development.

What’s good everyone!! We’re going to continue the voter registration conversation because it’s very important. Today you’ll be hearing from Dr. Alister Martin, an ER physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, who started the organization VotER. VotER believes that more voices build better systems and they are accomplishing this by making it easier for medical professionals and their patients to register to vote. You’ll also hear about what it’s like to build an organization like this from the ground up. Other things you’ll learn in this episode: How patients can change the dynamics of healthcare How Dr. Alister has been able to get such a large patient and hospital buy-in The importance of civic engagement How he built the intricate network/infrastructure of VotER How VotER has been able to “gamify” voter registration with medical professionals.

What’s good everyone! Dr. Sylvie Stacy, author of 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians, jumps on the hot seat to talk about choosing not to practice clinically. Yes, I said it! There are a bunch of medical students, residents, and doctors who deep down know that clinical medicine ain’t for them. Who do they talk to? Where can they find out next what to do? Dr. Sylvie Stacy is a preventive medicine specialist living and practice in Birmingham, Alabama. She received her MD from UMass Medical School and completed her residency and earned an MPH at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Sylvie went through something similar, but decided to help others by creating a website that inventoried jobs looking for physicians. She didn’t stop there and wrote this great book.

On this episode, we continue our discussion on articles that have been recently retracted by prominent journals. Up next is the article published by the Journal of American Health Association called Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity: Evolution of Race and Ethnicity Considerations for the Cardiology Workforce in the United States of America From 1969 to 2019.

Today you’re hear Part 1 of a discussion about what’s up with these peer-reviewed journals? Both the Journal of the American Heart Association and Journal of Vascular Surgery had to retract articles that had obvious biases and questionable methodology. I’m joined by Drs. Kameron, Estell, & Amber to discuss this the only way we know how.

What’s good everyone, So listen in as we talk about this 6 unit property we just checked out. Dr. Renee is going to run the numbers on this place to see if we should make an offer.

What’s good everyone! Excited to have His & Her Money on the show. His & Her Money, a.k.a. Tai & Taalat McNeely, have been coaching couples on their relationship with money for quite some time. They have become a powerful force within the personal finance realm, earning numerous accolades for their podcast, YouTube channel, books, and public speaking. As a matter of fact, their videos helped spark our personal finance journey. Tai and Taalat are open about their journey of falling in love, getting married, and being total opposites when it came to handling money. Now they’re completely debt free, including their mortgage, and they run a 6-figure online business.   Multiple Intelligence Theory Why we have 13 Bank Accounts  

What’s good everyone, You know I like to keep it real on this podcast. On this episode you’ll get to listen in on us driving to look at a property. During this drive we’re going to talk about how “we run the numbers.” You may have heard to keep emotions out of investment property purchase decisions. That’s correct. We’ll take you through a quick primer of how we do it and then what happened when we put our first offer in. Here are the concepts we discuss on this episode: How to “run the numbers” to find out if a property is a good investment What happened when we made our first offer Sometimes you gotta listen to your gut

What’s good!!! On today’s episode we’re going to talk about what Disability insurance will and won’t cover if you’re affected by Covid-19. Affected can mean different things ranging from being infected by the virus, to you having to close down your clinic for a significant time. Jamie Fleischner, President of Set For Life Insurance, jumps on the hot seat to explain what happens with disability claims during this pandemic time. We also talk about if the income you bring in from a side hustle is protected by your policy. A definite must listen!!   Resources: Set For Life Insurance

What’s good everyone! On this Ask Dr Nii segment, we’re going to dive deep into how old is too old to start medical school and continue into a career in surgery. One of our listeners submitted a voicemail asking since because he’s in his early thirties is it too late to go after his goal of becoming a surgeon. I brought on Dr. David Hampton, Trauma Surgeon at the University of Chicago, to explain his non traditional route in medicine and engineering. That’s right! Dr. David has a Masters in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a.k.a. MIT – BOOM!) We also get into his experiences caring for troops in the armed forces, as well as the advantages of being an older medical student!   Resources: Delmonte Johnson fatally shot on South Side

What’s good everyone!! “Don’t make emotional decisions about real estate,” and “Numbers matter!” These are going to be the important takeaways from today’s episode. Weeks ago, we told you that we wanted to document our journey into purchasing our first investment property together. Before we get into all the number crunching, calculus shit; you need to hear about our first experiences with real estate. Dr. Renee had positive experiences around real estate. Me, not so much. It started with an emotional decision that led me down a 13-year rabbit hole of bad mistakes. I get it, you’re probably thinking “Yeah that’s not going to be me.” However, it’s really important to understand how someone can make these decisions. Consider this a cautionary tale!!    Sponsored by: Money Insights To learn how to efficiently build an opportunity fund to purchase your next investment property, check out the Investment Optimizer video at moneyinsights.net/darko or you can text the keyword “Darko” to 31996.

What’s good everyone!! Get your popcorn ready. Get comfortable. We got a new episode of Dr. X Files. Remember, these are episodes of anonymous doctors speaking their truths in a format that makes them most comfortable. This episode will blow your mind like the first one. When people talk about a “food chain” in medicine – let’s just say Doctor X is at the top of this food chain. She is highly specialized, well-compensated, and extremely satisfied with her career/lifestyle balance. This wasn’t the case a couple of years ago. Decisions we all make to survive residency, can turn into pathologic lifestyle choices later as an attending. Well, this caught up to Dr. X early as an attending. Some of these decisions are rooted in people-pleasing and avoidance of conflict. Either way, don’t judge we’ve all been there. Dr. X explicitly details how her decisions led her to sign a contract that was not very detailed, felt uncomfortable asking for market value for her skills, and put self-care on the backburner.  She also talks about how her reputation was almost ruined. Dr. X ain’t no punk though. She became the heroine of her own story and gives a masterclass on how she saved her career and is living her best life!!!

What’s good everyone! For this Ask Dr. Nii segment, Dr. Nina Lum jumps on to help answer questions from our international medical graduate students. We’re going to answer two questions: 1. In what order should I take my step tests, especially in light of Step 1 going to pass/fail?; 2. Can I realistically get into a US – based orthopedic surgery residency as an IMG?

What’s good everyone, Meet Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng. He comes from north of the border and is a physician formally trained in critical care medicine and palliative care. His research focuses on making the ICU more efficient and improving access to palliative care services. To achieve this, he founded the Resource Optimization Network, a multidisciplinary research group working to reduce health spending in this area without compromising care. Dr. K, as he is fondly called, is a leading contributor helping the department to achieve its vision of shaping the future of Medicine. Recently, he joined the physician podcast family with his popular show Solving Healthcare.  Solving Healthcare is a podcast series featuring interviews and discussions on topics related to improving healthcare delivery in Canada based on the values of cost-effectiveness, dignity, and justice in healthcare. I gotta give him props, my man has been busy pumping out great content around Covid-19 and I definitely recommend you all subscribe to his podcast. Dr. Kwadwo is on the hot seat today so we can learn more about him, why he started his show, and what are the differences in responses to COVID 19 between the US and Canada.    Resources: Solving Healthcare Podcast

What’s good! Match season just went by. What can be a joyous moment for many, can be soul-crushing for others. Recently a listener reached out to me and asked what to do when you don’t match. It’s been close to 13 years since I went through the match process. So, I brought on Dr. Berry Pierre to drop some knowledge for our listeners. Dr. Berry Pierre has been a guest on the show before, but he also serves as Program Director for Wellington Regional Medical Center Internal Medicine Program. Resources: Website: Dr. Berry Pierre Podcast: listentodrberry.com

What’s good everyone! We got Dr. Jason Campbell a.k.a. “The Tik Tok Doctor” jumping on the show today! He’s a second-year anesthesiology resident at Oregon Health & Science University. We chopped it up talking about how he went viral with his videos. He is not afraid to discuss controversial topics and is currently using his newfound platform to shed light on these issues.

What’s good everyone!! That’s right! We are house hunting, but not for our permanent residence. We are jumping into real estate, trying to do our passive income thang! Here’s another cliché…we’re trying to build generational wealth. In all seriousness, this episode is the first of many in series where you’ll get to see what its like for the Darkos to go from hating real estate to future real estate moguls. What better way to keep us accountable by having you all along for the journey? Education is power, so we decided to take the SemiRetiredMD course: Zero to Freedom Through Cashflowing Rentals. We definitely vouch for it and recommend you check it out: https://semiretiredmdvip.mykajabi.com/a/27241/NbakE8nF (Disclosure: This is an affiliate link)

What’s good! Dr. Julie Cantor joins me all the way from the west coast to talk about her outside the box lifestyle. Dr. Cantor is physician, lawyer, and entrepreneur. She teaches at UCLA School of Law and focuses on the interplay of medicine, ethics, and law. Just as interesting, her company (Harlen) creates modern high-end work bags for women.

What’s good! On the surface, David Fajgenbaum appears to have it all. He’s married, has a child, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at The University of Pennsylvania. You don’t have to dig too deep to learn the determination of this man. In medical school, David had death knocking on his door 5 times after being diagnosed with the extremely rare Castleman disease. Running out of treatment options, he took matters into his own hands by developing the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network, and also using an untested drug for his condition on himself which turned out to be the cure for his disease. So, sitting on the hot seat for Docs Outside the Box ain’t a thing to him! He’s on to talk about his amazing story of persistence, believing in yourself, and creating your own silver linings in life! He’s an author too! His book is Chasing My Cure: A Doctor’s Race To Turn Hope into Action

What’s good everyone, New series!!! Sometimes you have to meet doctors where they’re at. It takes a lot to get on a podcast and be 100% honest about how your practice and put your name on it. So, I’ve started a series where I interview doctors who have important stories for us to learn from – they just would rather stay anonymous. I don’t have a problem with it, and neither should you. Information is power, and we got a ways to learn before we can say we’re in the driver’s seat with healthcare. My very first guest is a physician who trained at one of the finest medical institutions in world and decided to join a private practice. He lets us in to what it was like for a hedge fund / venture capitalist firm to purchase his group and the drastic effects it had afterwards. Doc keeps it real on this episode. He also talked about: Making hard decisions between happiness and the almighty dollar His attending’s thoughts on locum tenens What does being a partner mean in private practice The warning signs we all need to pay attention to when in practice.

This isn’t your usual ho-hum episode on COVID 19. Dr. Alexea shows her Brookly, NY roots and brings it to us straight with no chaser. You don’t want to miss this one.

It’s well known that doctors put patients first even though it may have negative social effects on doctors. Whether we call it professionalism or an edict, this way of life has allowed us to be viewed as unbiased advocates for our patients.   Dr. Danielle Ofri joins me on this episode to discuss an Op-Ed she wrote in the NY Times last year discussing if our professionalism is being taken advantage of by hospitals.  Dr. Danielle Ofri  is an internist at Bellevue Hospital and NYU School of Medicine. She writes regularly for the New York Times, Slate Magazine and other publications about medicine and the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Ofri is the author of five books, including, most recently, “What Patients Say; What Doctors Hear.” Her TED talks include Deconstructing Perfection and Fear: A Necessary Emotion.

So back in the days of medical school, I used to be able to brag about eating a BigMac and then be able to run a 5 minute mile on the treadmill. Well those days are long gone. I can’t run anywhere near that fast and I still got the fast food habit. To make matters worse, how easy is it to get something healthy while on night shift and its 3AM?!! I invited Dr. Siobahn Key to help us understand that weight is a common struggle for physicians and we often feel that we should have it figured it. Let’s get real - there are plenty of aspects of our job that make it easy to gain and hard to lose weight. Dr. Siobhan Key is both a Family Physician, and Obesity Medicine and  Weight Loss Coach for Physicians. She is the host of a weekly podcast Weight Solutions for Physicians. Her passion is helping people learn to stop emotional eating and feel confident in their ability to manage their weight for the rest of their life.   Disclaimer: By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice to treat any medical condition in either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating.The website’s content is not a substitute for professional medical care and diagnosis.

Today is Day 3 of the summit and I’ve got a special interview for you. Did you know that there is a growing movement of individuals and couples retiring in their 40s and for some even earlier? This is called being Financially Independent & Retiring Early movement. It’s safe to say that joining the FIRE movement requires not just discipline but a huge change in mindset. My next guests are Christina and Amon Browning, who recently on their popular YouTube channel announced they retired in their early 40s. They called in all the way from Lisbon, Portugal, and we’re going to hear the nuts and bolts of mindset and lifestyle changes necessary to reach this feat. Some of the moves they made included saving over 70% of their income, making smart decisions with real estate, and having a “can-do” mentality. If you haven’t discovered their YouTube channel then you are missing out. They’re videos are amazing and educational. They just dropped their FIRE workbook, which is a step by step guide to getting to financial independence. ….cuz a brother is giving away free copies of this badboy.

We’re on to Day 2 of the Docs Outside the Box Virtual Summit. Yesterday, we heard from Dr. Carmen Brown on how leaving the US to practice overseas both revitalized her career and her mental well- being. Today we’re shifting to creating wealth for yourself but not through your job. A lot of people who have detached from their 9 to 5 refer back to the book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad as the catalyst. This book was written by Robert Kiyosaki in 1997 and told the story of his 2 dads – his real father (poor dad) and the father of his best friend (rich dad) – and the ways both men shaped his thoughts on money and investing  My next guest, Dr. Peter Kim has been doing the same for some time now. He’s he runs the famous blog Passive Income MD, and Curbside Real Estate, which is a concierge service for physicians looking to buy real estate. He’s here to help me parse through a recent interview that real estate mogul Grant Cardone did on VladTV, which is a popular YouTube channel focused on the news in Hip Hop. In this video interview, Grant talked about his childhood, how he started in real estate and also how he quickly multiplied his holdings. It’s a very polarizing interview, look below for the embedded video to watch.   Embedded video:   Resources: The 10x Rule 4% Rule

From Episode 1 and the land down under - Dr. Carmen Brown is back to speak about living in Australia and New Zealand. Her episode is the highest downloaded episode for the podcast, and has been the spark that helped this show to gain traction with you all. Now a 10 year veteran of living in Australia / New Zealand, you’re going to hear more about the mindset hurdles she and her husband got past to live life on their own terms. Often times, we get caught up on “what I should do,” or “traditionally this,” but fail to realize those thoughts prevent us from finding true happiness. For Dr. Carmen and her husband, the road to happiness started was realizing that the status quo was unacceptable.    Resources: Confessions of a Dr Mom
