Financial Residency Network
As a doctor, you spent decades in school to get to where you are. Unfortunately, during all those years in medical school and residency, you probably didn't receive a financial education. But, not to worry. That's where I come in. Think of this podcast as your financial residency without the long hours and sleepless nights! I will guide you through a financial education resulting in money confidence and clarity in this critical aspect of your life. You'll understand how you make money, how you spend money, how your hard-earned money can work for you, and how to protect yourself and your family. I have witnessed residents and fellows bombarded by life and disability insurance salesmen and other "investment" pitches that are not in their best interest. You didn't receive any formal financial education in your decades of medical training, so how are you supposed to know the good financial advisors from the bad? This podcast will help with that. Remember, it's ok to not know the difference between a ROTH IRA and a 403b or which 529 plan is best. This podcast will simplify highly complex concepts and translate industry jargon into plain English. Are you ready to take action and make smarter, more informed financial decisions? Great - let's do this! Let your financial residency begin.

Mortgage Minute - Rate Modifications for Physician Loans
This episode is sponsored by Resolve. A physician contract review and compensation data company bringing change to physician contracts. For 10% off, add FR10 when you sign up! Some banks, including BMO, offer rate modifications for physician loans. What this means is that you can close a loan today with the current market rate, but can later "modify" your loan to a lower rate if rates go down. This option is cheaper than refinancing your loan and does not involve the hassle of getting a new appraisal or providing all the documents to get a new loan.

A Physician's Guide to Wealth - The first step to true wisdom
This episode is sponsored by Resolve. A physician contract review and compensation data company bringing change to physician contracts. For 10% off, add FR10 when you sign up! "Know thyself" – a timeless maxim etched onto the ancient Temple of Apollo in Greece. But what does it truly mean? Join us on a journey of self-discovery as we explore the depths of this profound saying. There's a reason why nearly one third of lottery winners go broke within their first 3-5 years.* They were handed millions of dollars vs. growing into someone worthy of becoming a millionaire. There's a difference. As doctors, your path is unique. You spent your 20s mastering medicine, not finance or why you are the way you are as a human being. And remember, before influencing others, we must understand ourselves. Reflect on our own money triggers, strengths, and weaknesses. How does your upbringing color your views?

Coffee & Contracts - What is Wrong with MGMA Data?
The MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) data is often considered the gold standard for physician compensation analysis, but it has several limitations. Firstly, the data is delayed, with current data based on previous years' figures. Secondly, the sample size, though large, may not fully represent the physician population. Additionally, there's selection bias as certain physicians may not report their salaries. The data doesn't differentiate between full-time and part-time roles or consider variations in hourly or shift-based work. It also doesn't accurately represent value-based pay, conversion factors, or tiered structures for compensation. Despite its popularity, MGMA data alone may not provide a comprehensive picture of fair market value for individual physicians, as each situation is unique. While valuable, it's important to consider the individual story and context when determining compensation.
