Slam the Gavel welcomes Roy from Chicago to the podcast. He has been trapped in a Cook County Chicago Divorce riddled with corruption. Prior to this happening he and his ex mutually signed a legal Separation Agreement in November of 2019. At that time, March 6, 2020, their NET WORTH was $7.5 million dollars. However his ex's law firm of Hoffenberg and Block has already obtained over $2 million in legal fees and Roy has not even seen or spoken to his once inseparable children who live across the street in FIVE YEARS. This law firm judge shopped and found Judge Renee Goldfarb and she froze ALL of Roy's assets. He has received less than 3% of his life's work, $179,800.00 in 5.5 years, $2,700.00/month. He was also forced to move eight times and arrested twice for reporting the judge. Roy was ALSO attacked leaving a restaurant and barely survived with NO THEFT at all, just a SINISTER MESSAGE FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCES. Not a podcast to be missed.To Reach Roy: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

In this episode, host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming exposes the "great physician money lie"—that high income automatically leads to wealth—and shares transformative insights from the book "The Wealth Ladder." Drawing from his 20+ years as a physician entrepreneur, he explains why many doctors earning $300,000+ live paycheck to paycheck, trapped in lifestyle inflation and employee mindsets. Dr. Woo-Ming breaks down the four levels of the wealth ladder, from financial insecurity to true freedom, and provides a simple formula to calculate your net worth. He emphasizes shifting from trading time for money to building income-producing assets, like businesses or investments, while avoiding common pitfalls like overspending. With practical advice on developing an owner mindset, pursuing financial education, and taking action—such as attending conferences like PID Con—this episode empowers physicians to reclaim control, reduce stress, and build lasting wealth beyond their salaries. Three Actionable Takeaways: Calculate Your True Net Worth: Subtract all liabilities (debts, loans) from assets (savings, investments, property) to determine your wealth level; aim to match your lifestyle to net worth, not income, to avoid financial stress. Shift to an Owner Mindset: Stop trading time for money by building skills for income-producing assets, like consulting, online courses, or cash-pay practices; focus on value creation untied to hours worked. Invest in Financial Education: Read books like "The Wealth Ladder," join physician groups on financial independence, attend conferences (e.g., PID Con), and learn from mentors to avoid common pitfalls and accelerate asset-building.
