New owner. New mindset. Zero panic. In this candid conversation, Derek sits down with Dr. Raheel Hayter to unpack how a 20-year-old's discovery of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) shaped his entire path through dental school, associateship, and a swift, strategic leap into ownership. Raheel shares how he maximized clinical reps in school (hello molar endo and wisdom teeth), evaluated practices with a clear freedom-first lens, and landed a rare small-town, low-competition office outside Dallas. You'll hear the exact factors he prioritized (fixed costs, saturation, collections), why he chose coaching with TLP to compress his timeline, and how he handled week one with a “change nothing, learn everything” approach—using curiosity and “strong opinions, weakly held” to identify true root problems (documentation, over-spending on supplies, collections discipline) without rattling the team or patients. Whether you're a student, associate, or on the brink of ownership, this episode is a blueprint for moving fast and smart. What you'll learn: How a FIRE mindset clarifies clinical, career, and ownership decisions The simple filter Raheel used to evaluate practices (competition, fixed costs, collections) Why saying “no” a lot makes it easy to pounce on the right deal A calm, high-trust playbook for your first weeks as an owner (“change nothing, ask why”) Where passive leadership hides in the numbers (supplies %, lab %, collections rate) and how to spot it Highlights: Discovering FIRE and choosing dentistry with the end in mind Maximizing clinical exposure in school (be in clinic 8–5; study after) From associate to owner: doing the math, then committing Due diligence in saturated markets and why small-town sites can win big Week-one leadership: reassure the team, observe, document, then prioritize Back-office fixes that move the needle: documentation, insurance, discounts, CareCredit/process cleanup Reach out to Raheel at: raheel14haider@gmail.com Reach out to Derek at: derek@thelifestylepractice.com Connect with us: • Learn more about 1-on-1 coaching • Get access to TLP Academy • Suscribe to The Lifestyle Practice Podcast • Email Derek at derek@thelifestylepractice.com • Email Matt at matt@thelifestylepractice.com • Email Steve at steve@thelifestylepractice.com

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Scott Trench, former CEO of BiggerPockets, co-host of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, and author of “Set for Life.” Their conversation dives into how Scott achieved financial independence through real estate and frugality, and how new investors can build the confidence and skills to invest from a position of strength. Scott shares how his own path began with house hacking and strict expense management while working as a financial analyst. These early habits laid the foundation for his first duplex purchase and ultimately his real estate success. He explains that the core pursuit behind investing for most people isn't financial wealth. It's time freedom. Real estate offers one of the most accessible paths to achieve that, especially for everyday Americans with median incomes. The conversation highlights the importance of personal accountability and developing an in-person community. While online education has its place, Scott emphasizes the lasting value of learning from real people, joining masterminds, and taking action on knowledge, not just theory. He also explains how engaging directly with tenants, even when difficult, builds the playbook necessary for long-term success. Jonathan and Scott discuss why now might actually be an excellent time to buy, especially in smaller multifamily sectors. While high interest rates have sidelined many investors, price adjustments in certain markets have created new windows of opportunity. Scott reflects on his experience with both direct ownership and passive investing in syndications, candidly sharing why he prefers the control and reliability of local real estate over national trends. They also touch on the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and what early retirement actually means. For Scott, financial freedom isn't about never working again. It's about creating more choices. He encourages listeners to ignore the noise, avoid overpriced guru programs, and focus instead on sustainable investing strategies that fit their lives. Throughout the episode, Scott keeps the advice actionable. He urges new investors to think critically, avoid fads, and build a strong foundation through frugality, education, and reps in the field. Whether you're house hacking, looking at syndications, or considering commercial opportunities, the key is to approach each decision with discipline and awareness. The ultimate goal? Gaining control over your time, finances, and future. In this episode, you will hear: The mindset shift that turned Scott Trench from employee to investor Why house hacking creates a low-risk way to build skills and equity Where many new investors get stuck and how to get unstuck The importance of being a transparent and human landlord Strategies Scott uses to handle difficult tenants without evictions The hidden value of investor forums and local meetups Why it's smart to stay skeptical of real estate fads The case for small multifamily in today's market Scott's view on FIRE and time freedom as the real end goal Ways to assess college vs. trade school from an ROI perspective Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Walli Miller is a first-generation millionaire, financial coach, and early retiree who left her 9-to-5 before age 40. After a career in public service, Walli reached financial independence and now helps high-achieving, primarily first-generation women build wealth, create financial freedom, and design a life they love. Through her private coaching business, Walli empowers others to rewrite their money stories and achieve what once felt impossible. On this episode we talk about: Walli's first job in New York City through the Summer Youth Program and what it taught her about work and money Her transition from public service to financial independence, reaching millionaire status, and retiring early—all on a government salary The generational impact of money mindsets, and why credit, wealth, and financial habits are “hereditary” The “aha!” moment that changed Walli's relationship with money and launched her journey to wealth How she used tax-advantaged accounts, intentional saving, and mindset shifts to build seven figures in her stock portfolio The importance of automating savings, increasing investments gradually, and eliminating mindless spending The difference between math and mindset: why 80% of financial success is mental and emotional Her path from unpaid coaching to a thriving coaching business—helping others, especially women and people of color, break cycles and become work-optional The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, and what it looks like to be “work optional” Top 3 Takeaways Financial independence is possible without a massive salary—strategic saving, investing, and automation can build real wealth. Money stories and mindsets inherited from childhood play a huge role in our financial behaviors; changing the narrative is key to breaking cycles. Achieving “work optional” status isn't about deprivation—it's about intentionality, paying your future self first, and living aligned with your values. Notable Quotes “I thought wealth was for somebody in a velvet robe, not for federal employees earning $100,000.” “I realized after years of coaching that about 15% is numbers and 85% is mindset and relationships.” “Paying your future self first—before you spend on anything else—is the most powerful habit for building freedom.” Connect with Walli Miller: Website: financiallythriving.com https://www.instagram.com/financially_thriving/?hl=en

In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses when it might make sense to scale back your 401(k) contributions. Is it safe to invest right now? Should you keep contributing to your retirement account when the economy feels uncertain? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to navigate turbulent financial times by focusing on long-term investing strategies and what you can control. They break down what's going on with recent stock market activity, why the dollar is weakening, and how investors can stay the course by understanding their risk tolerance and using tools like dollar-cost averaging. They also touch on emotional investing and offer practical ways to handle market anxiety without pulling back on your financial goals. Then, Elizabeth welcomes Ross Anderson, founder of Craftwork Capital and co-host of the Check Your Balances podcast, to answer a listener's question about whether to reduce 401(k) contributions due to fears about job security. They discuss how to evaluate whether you're holding too much cash, the trade-offs between contributing to retirement versus living for today, and how the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement can work even if you start later in life. They also cover the impact of retiring abroad, how international taxes can complicate your strategy, and why certain insurance products might not match your goals.

The economy is broken and everything is going to sh*t. That's the current narrative. But I attended a FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) conference and discovered a thriving community completely defying this narrative.

Jim chats with Dr. Jordan Grumet, AKA: Doc G. to explore the themes of entrepreneurship, financial independence, and the FIRE movement. Follow along as we discuss the journey from following traditional career paths to pursuing passions, and the importance of purpose over mere financial goals. Doc G shares insights from his personal experiences as a hospice physician turned blogger, podcaster, and author. He emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to life that integrates purpose, happiness, and financial wellness. Doc G shares his concepts of meaning and purpose, emphasizing the importance of personal narratives in shaping our happiness. He distinguishes between Big P and Little P purposes, advocating for a more process-oriented approach to fulfillment. Discover the significance of community and connection in achieving happiness, and how to address the common anxiety surrounding one's search for purpose. Ultimately, Doc G encourages listeners to engage in activities that light them up, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from enjoying the process rather than fixating on audacious goals.GUEST BIO: Doc G's interest in becoming a doctor ignited when his father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of life. This profound and life-shaping boyhood loss compelled him to dedicate his early career to the art of medicine. He was an Assistant Professor, first at Northwestern University and then at The University of Chicago. He has been a medical director of several nursing homes, started multiple palliative care programs in extended care facilities, and is an associate medical director for a hospice provider. After shaping his personal finance plan around the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement, Doc G began a new chapter by becoming semi-retired by the age of 45. Today in addition to his work as a hospice doctor, he intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom in writing and speaking engagements that explore the topics of wealth, abundance, and financial independence to help people live meaningful lives. He publishes the Earn and Invest podcast about personal finance and wellness, and has also run several small businesses including a concierge medical practice, an online art gallery, and is the author of two books, including his latest The Purpose Code, How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacy, published in January 2025.Connect & Learn Morehttps://jordangrumet.com/https://www.earnandinvest.com/The Purpose Code – How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacyhttps://amzn.to/4hizM6BTaking Stock – A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Lifehttps://amzn.to/4kOj2HtRESOURCESHappiness = Freedom + Meaningfulness on RVE #383https://therventrepreneur.com/rve383/Early Retirement Nowhttps://earlyretirementnow.com/The Skeptic's Guide to FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early)https://nickwolny.com/financial-independence-guide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE RV ENTREPRENEURhttps://therventrepreneur.com~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Join the RVE community on Facebook!https://www.facebook.com/groups/therventrepreneurcommunityConnect with RVE on all your favorite socialshttps://therventrepreneur.com/connectGot questions or comments for our hosts?

BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Today, we're talking about something so many of us wrestle with—separating who we are from what we do. It can be easy to think that your worth is tied to your job title or how hard you're working, but really your identity is not your job. You are worthy of all the wonderful things life has to offer, simply because of who you are—not what you achieve.Separating work from identity can be freeing. Inspired by my book Slow Living, I explore how to detach from the pressures of defining ourselves by our careers. JL Collins talks about The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, in his book The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins. It reinforces this idea—retirement isn't an age, but a financial equation that can create more freedom in your life. Workplaces can feel like a second home but it's important to remember that work and colleagues are separate from your actual life . True belonging comes from the family and close friends who truly know, love, and support you. At the end of the day, your life happens outside of work, with the people who matter most.Want to go back and listen to more episodes like this one?

Living with Purpose and Contentment, the Danish Way. In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Meik Wiking, the Danish happiness researcher and best-selling author who introduced the world to "hygge"—the Danish art of creating cozy, contented spaces. We dive into Meik's insights on the true keys to happiness, from fostering deep social connections to redefining success beyond wealth and status. Meik shares thought-provoking ideas, like Denmark's culture of collective well-being, and "job crafting"—the practice of making even ordinary tasks more enjoyable. We also discuss the value of autonomy and flexibility at work, the rise of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, and the potential impact of universal basic income on our sense of happiness. Don't forget - Denmark is consistently voted the happiest country in the world.

He's proof that even with the often-chaotic life of a military member, financial freedom is totally attainable! (Hint: High savings rate and not spending a lot of money at sea was key!)The Power of Planning (and a Healthy Transition Fund): Doug stresses the importance of a strategic exit plan from active duty, similar to a well-executed military operation, including a hefty transition fund. This isn't about waiting until retirement to start thinking about it; it's about having a solid plan from day one! This will keep your finances from ending up sleeping under a highway overpass! Sweat Equity and Smart Investing: Doug and his wife built wealth not just through high savings but also through smart home improvements and investing during periods of market downturn.

#542: Ever feel like you're never doing enough with your money, even when your finances look good on paper? You're not alone. Katie Gatti Tassin, host of the Money with Katie podcast, dives into a phenomenon called "money dysmorphia" in today's interview. She shares how she got flooded with responses when she asked her listeners about money dysmorphia. Folks with hefty savings and investments still worry they're not doing enough. It's like they're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Where does this come from? Katie points to a few culprits. Social media is an obvious scapegoat. But traditional media plays a role too. Think about all those TV shows where "normal" families live in massive houses and drive fancy cars. It skews our perception of what's average. Location matters too. Katie talks about how moving from Dallas to Fort Collins changed her spending habits. Different cities have different vibes and social norms around money. The conversation takes an interesting turn when Katie shares her own experience buying a Porsche. She felt conflicted, worried her FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) community would judge her. It highlights how even personal finance experts grapple with these issues. They also touch on how the pandemic shook up financial priorities. When faced with uncertainty, some people realized saving for a far-off future might not be the only goal worth pursuing. Katie and Paula discuss the importance of balance. It's good to save, but not at the expense of living your life now. They suggest seeking out voices in the personal finance world to get a more rounded perspective. Travel comes up as a way to gain financial perspective. Seeing how people live in other parts of the world can make you appreciate what you have or show you where your own country could improve. Katie and Paula offer food for thought on how to navigate our complex relationship with money. It's a conversation that might make you think differently about your own financial mindset.
