The Limitless MD

Investing is more than just throwing money at some companies that look promising. You have to be mission-driven and learn strategies for evaluating startup investment opportunities. One way of doing it successfully is by focusing on experienced founders who work in startups aligned with your values. Today's guest will explain clearly how to achieve this goal. Ari Tulla is a Finnish entrepreneur based in San Francisco. He's been all over the world as a serial entrepreneur, father, investor in more than 40 startups, and even a professional video game player in the 90s. Ari shares his personal story of how his wife's health issues led him to focus on nutrition and lifestyle as medicine. The bulk of our discussion centers around Ari's current company, Elo Health, and its mission to make food into medicine through personalized data. These are some of the topics we covered in our conversation: - How to find companies you like to invest in - The surprising story of the Oura Ring- What is Elo Health, and how can it help you? - How to take a data-driven approach to optimizing nutrition and supplements By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with strategies for optimizing your nutrition and lifestyle. Take advantage of Ari's insights on building mission-driven companies, evaluating startups, and taking your health and longevity into your own hands.“[We invested] into companies that we felt had a focus of making the world a better place, and also helping people live better lives. So broadly in an area of healthcare, human performance, education.” - Ari TullaResources: - ​​Join our Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator https://limitless-md.mn.co/- https://vikramraya.com/programs/- Sign up to my email list - https://vikramraya.com/- Group Coaching Now Open.

“No one tells a toddler…Hey, you know, you fell 5000 times, I don’t think walking is going to be for you.” - Dr. Pranay ParikhSo, what makes entrepreneurship a tricky feat for doctors?Well, it comes down to how they were trained. Doctors have to be very risk-averse and have a very perfectionist approach. Add to that time limitations and a low skill diversity outside of medicine and you can see why becoming a risk-taking entrepreneur seems pretty far-fetched.But as Dr. Pranay Parikh explains, it IS possible. But we need to take the steps to overcome the analysis paralysis we often stumble into.For more on this, listen to the full episode here: https://vikramraya.com/taking-the-leap-from-doctor-to-entrepreneur-with-dr-pranay-parikh-limitless-md-episode-78/ Resources:- Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://vikramraya.com/programs/ - Group Coaching Now Open. https://www.freedom5doc.com/home58481126 Connect with Vikram:- Website: https://vikramraya.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vikramraya/  - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Vikramrayamd- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikramraya/- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdq9M-kD0L2hy1UlfOK-hwQSpecial Thank You to Music Provided by Music Library: https://soundcloud.com/music-library-non-copyrighted-sounds/300-violin-orchestra-jorge-quintero-copyright-and-royalty-free

Are you an MD looking to increase your income without sacrificing time and freedom? While running your own practice can be financially rewarding, it often comes with long hours and stress. And if your practice grows, so do your responsibilities.But what if I told you there's a way to secure your financial future without burning out or feeling like you've made a pact with the devil?

Take advantage of this opportunity to transform your financial and professional life.“A big killer for us is complacency, right? It’s easy to keep going on the same road and not change, and that’s how we’re kind of hardwired.
