| 06 Jul 2020 | 170 – Dr. X Files #2 – I became a martyr for medicine and my career | 00:56:01 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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!!! | |||
| 21 Jun 2021 | 229 – This US couple retired at 39 and 41 and now live in Portugal | 00:51:44 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone! 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. Transcription:

| 04 May 2020 | 158 – Dr. X Files #1 – Why is my salary decreasing!?!? Didn’t our practice get bought by a Hedge Fund??! | 01:01:01 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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:

| 09 Mar 2020 | 153 - Is our biggest strength our greatest weakness? | 00:36:40 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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.

| 21 Mar 2022 | How a cheap & amicable divorce helped this doctor avoid financial ruin #273 | 00:42:20 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! Divorce is not fun. There is nothing earth-shattering about that statement. Divorce not only can be devastating to your emotions, but it can be a bombshell to your personal finance. Does it always have to be this way?
In this episode, we’re interviewing Dr. X on how she was able to have a cheap and amicable divorce for only $1000. That’s right, I said it - a divorce during the COVID pandemic for only $1000.
I love Dr. X episodes because you get raw, unfiltered discussions about how folks feel about certain topics.

| 21 Jan 2020 | 145 - DOTB VS Day 2 - Work Smarter, Not Harder by Embracing Passive Streams of Income | 00:47:48 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone! I’m chopping it up with anonymous physician personal finance blogger Crispy Doc. We have similar immigrant and first-generation stories that led us down the path of becoming physicians. Taking safe jobs (i.e. teacher, engineer, physician) was an important way for first-generation children to establish their roots here in the United States. Crispy Doc shares his journey through burnout and how finally grabbing control of his finances got him on the road to fulfillment.

We’re talking to Dr. Melva Pinn-Bingham, who is a board-certified radiation oncologist, and owner of 2 Cold Stone Creameries and a Subway restaurant. She’s on the show today to discuss why owning franchises is a tool she and her husband use to build wealth. Prior to this episode, I didn’t have the best opinion of the franchising business.

On this second installment of The Come-Up, you’re going to hear from a doctor who is on her way to becoming a doc outside the box.

| 08 Nov 2021 | 249 Top branding secrets every physician should know | 00:42:12 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! There is more to medicine than just memorizing textbooks or doing well on exams. Your bedside manner, working with staff, and communication with your colleagues is just as important. Basically, what is the experience people and patients should have when they meet and interact with you?
That’s what we call a brand. A quick Google search of ‘brand’ and you’ll find that it is the way a product, company, or individual is perceived by those who experience it. When is the last time someone in medical school or residency talked to you about branding as a doctor?
In today’s episode, we learn the top secrets to branding as a doctor. Dr. Guy Kezirian, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of the Physician CEO program will be leading this masterclass. Physician CEO is a business immersion program located at Northwestern University’s Kellog School of Management. Ladies and gentlemen - that’s a Top 5 Business School!
Here are some of the questions you can expect to be answered on this episode:

But I’m not going to lie, there are things that people who are not doctors get to do that make me pretty jealous. One of them is the ability to have a career pivot.

Dr. Lynn Morski from the Quit Happens podcast joins me on this show to discuss how quitting strategically can be the pathway to a more fulfilled life.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone… My apologies for the short break in the beginning of the month. Check out the beginning of this episode to find out what happened. On this episode, I’m chopping it up with Dr. Cedric Dark, the Founder and Executive Editor of Policy Prescriptions. Think of Policy Prescriptions as a cliff notes version of health policy research so that lawmakers can make bills based off actual evidence-based studies. Now at this for well over 10 years, Dr. Dark got his start while interning in Washington, D.C. and learning how much policymakers relied on politics and ideology. Not only will you learn more about Cedric, but you’ll also get a civics lesson on exactly how health policy bills on funded on a federal level. For those who want to get more on the front lines of advocacy, especially with social media – this episode is for you!

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s up and good everyone, When the podcast first started, I spent time driving home the notion of being a good steward with your money. This included saving more than you spend, paying off student loan debt, and using index funds for passive investing. The famous book by Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad helped the masses change their mindset from trading time for dollars, and embracing real estate as a driver of wealth. You can count me in on that group. Dr Renee and I are beginning our journey into purchasing multi-family homes and renting them out to develop an alternative stream of income. We’ll keep you posted. The book also sparked the success of my next guests - Dr. Leticia and Kenji. They have worked very hard to build up a portfolio of rental properties that is now allowing them to live life and practice medicine on their own terms. Taking an entire year off to travel - no problem! Picking up clinical shifts when they want to, not because they have to - they got this! So they came on the show to talk about how they started this amazing journey and how you can also. This episode is jam-packed with information and inspiration!! In the intro of this episode, you’ll hear about their amazing course to help you get started on your journey with real estate. It’s called Zero to Freedom Through CashFlowing Rentals and yours truly recommends it (Full disclaimer: I am an affiliate and when you sign up for the course, it does help the show to grow). The course is made up of 6 modules and takes place over a 3-week span. This course is full of active learning, has a great community to keep you accountable, PLUS you get 5 CME credits also for completing this course - BOOM!! Registration for the course starts on December 2nd. Click here to learn more about this course!

Dr. Steinour’s mantra is “enjoy things that make you fully present in life,” and without a doubt, he is living a life outside the box. You’re going to hear about how he’s become part of a team of physicians that provide medical support to expeditions in the South Pole. We’re talking about caring for seal bites, sea sickness, and of course hypothermia. He’s also combined his childhood passion for motorcycles with medicine and provides medical care to various racing circuits that are in Texas.

| 10 Jul 2020 | 171 – Darko Real Estate series – My tenants turned the garage into a bar | 00:42:17 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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!!

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone! My next guest is Dr. Nikki Ramskill – the personality behind the blog “The Female Money Doctor.” There aren’t as many physicians in the United Kingdom blogging about personal finance as in America, but her claim to fame is being the “first ever doctor in the UK to be blogging about money.” The blog has become popular in the UK and focuses on the money stresses that her patients suffer from. She comes off as relatable as she shares her journey through student loan debt, investing, and breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck. On this episode, we’re going to learn more about the woman behind the blog. For example, what’s her personal approach to debt, and the mindset changes it took for her to change specialties from OB/GYN to being a General Practitioner.

On this episode we have Dr. Shilpi Agarwal, author of the book called The 10-Day Total Body Transformation: A Doctor's Guide to Getting Leaner, Cleaner, and Happier in Just 10 Days!

I read this book and it hit home on building healthy habits instead of focusing on doing the next exercise craze! I recommend this book for anyone who has difficulty with understanding how nutrition, sleep, and mindfulness work together. The best part of all - you won’t be bored by this book. Dr. Shilpi has a down-to-earth approach that makes it easy to relate to. Not only are we talking about her book, but Dr. Shilpi is also a regular contributor on Fox 5 in Washington, D.C. as well as numerous national media outlets.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone, I can’t believe it’s that time of year again. We’re in the holiday season and that brings celebrations, family events, and big dinner. Although the food is great, much of it isn’t very healthy. Is a Turduken healthy!?? Let’s be honest, some of the foods we eat or how we cook has been passed down through generations. It’s 2019 and a lot has changed with how we think about food and nutrition. My next guest, who is Dr. Lauren Powell, has something to say about this. Dr. Lauren, also known as “The Culinary Doctor,” is a board-certified family medicine doctor. Her goal is to meet individuals at whatever stage they’re at on their health journey and end generational patterns of food-related diseases. Dr. Powell is serious about her goals. She’s meeting folks at live events with cooking demos, on television, podcasts and even with her Amazon Best-Selling book Food Essentials for the Busy Professional.

What’s good everyone, Much like auto body shops, did you know that hospitals present different prices to individuals compared to insurance companies?

Dr. Makary is a surgeon, New York Times best-selling author, and health care expert. He is also a professor of Health Policy & Management at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. His areas of interest include the health care costs, overtreatment, the opioid epidemic, patient safety and the movement to make healthcare more transparent.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! 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.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! What’s good everyone!! A large part of providing good patient care is developing a trusting relationship. At times this may require an understanding of the nuances of your patient’s cultural and social makeup.

Well on this episode, I got four docs who not only provide amazing care to their patients, but have done the work to identify and decrease how racism affects their patient population.
Here’s our panel: Dr. Kameron Matthews - Family Medicine Dr. Italo Brown - Emergency Medicine Dr.Utibe Essien - Internal Medicine Dr. Alden Landry - Emergency Medicine
We talk about how racism affects them personally and professionally. You’ll also learn in this episode:

Over the past several months, I’ve been consistently working with my assistant (Sheryl) to help with streamlining and systematizing my life as an entrepreneur. Rather than writing a long piece on working with virtual assistants, I decided to interview her so that you can see what our working relationship is like. For you all who are on the fence about hiring a virtual assistant, I think this conversation will bring down the anxiety and help you take action!

| 13 Aug 2018 | 64 – From Doctor to World Renowned Photographer | 00:53:49 | |
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! How are you all handling this August heat?!? Everyone who wants to reach out, make sure you show some love to the “Ask me a Question” button on the right of the website. I thinks its more personal and efficient to ask a question or just leave some feedback! Today’s episode is 2 years in the making. On this episode, I’m chopping it up with Dr. Zun Lee who is a world-renowned photographer and self-described visual story teller. We chatted about his transition from the clinical physician world, to corporate healthcare management, to now as full-time photographer. He’s a heavy hitter. His work has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Huffington Post, and Wall Street Journal. In 2014 he put out a groundbreaking book called Father Figure: Exploring Alternate Notions of Black Fatherhood, and it has won several international awards. On a side note, I recorded this with Dr. Zun Lee almost 2 years ago. This interview goes through so many different layers and I wasn’t sure how it would’ve been received when the show first started. I think that was a mistake for not being confident how you the audience would receive a podcast episode that talks about these issues. I apologize to Dr. Lee and to you – the amazing audience.
