MMM #19: Hell Yes Policy
2019 was a rough year for me. I thought I was burned out, and it turned out to be a mixture of depression and anxiety caused by Grave’s disease. Regardless of the cause, the struggle led me to create something called my Hell Yes Policy – which was part of what saved me during that time. Have you learned to say no to some things so that you can say Hell Yes to others? Learn how in this episode.
What You’ll Learn:
In this episode of Money Meets Medicine, you’ll learn all about why I enacted my Hell Yes Policy and:
- Why saying no can save your life!
- Why I enacted my personal Hell No Policy.
- My battle with Graves Disease.
- When to draw lines in the sand especially as a young doctor.
- And more!
Quote to Remember
“What if I told you your happiness may actually hinge on saying no instead of saying yes?”
“I like helping people. I want to say yes to the things that matter most to me.”
“I want to be a good doctor and all this other stuff, but I want to be a good dad and a husband.”
“Happiness is reality minus expectations.”

Greed, FOMO, and Bad Investments
Despite our best intentions, certain emotions can keep us from building wealth. After many years arming physicians with the information they need to achieve financial wellness, I had a significant realization.
Information is one thing – behavior is another.
As the saying goes, money is 80% behavior and only 20% math.
Not only do I want to share important information about personal finance, I also want to help you recognize how certain behaviors can (and do) affect your finances.
Drawing from one of the classic books about investing, let’s go over five common behaviors that could be keeping you from achieving your financial goals.
How Doctors Can Get Good Financial Advice
Many doctors and high-income professionals hire financial advisors for any number of reasons. Either they’re too busy to handle their finances themselves, they don’t really know how to invest, or they want an expert on their side to make sure they’re on the right track.
So allow me to say from the start: I’m not against financial advisors, but I am against doctors (or anyone, really) being overcharged for bad advice.
There’s no shame in asking for help – you just want to get the help you need at a fair price.
You should be equipped enough to vet and evaluate your financial advisor so you’ll know whether they’re working well on your behalf. How can you be as confident as possible they’re acting in your best interest? This episode will help you find out.
Dr. Peter Kim and Physician Entrepreneurship
Have you ever thought about using real estate to reach financial independence, but you didn’t want to be a landlord?
Recently I sat down with one of my good friends and one of the OG partners of The Physician Philosopher. He’s an anesthesiologist, husband, father, entrepreneur, as well as a real estate and physician side gig guru – of course, I’m talking about Dr. Peter Kim.
One of the interesting things about Peter’s story is his transition from full-time practice as an OB anesthesiologist to stepping away from medicine and going part-time, to now his being on sabbatical. He’s not sure if that’s a permanent sabbatical or not, so we got to explore his thought process on that and his story.
So let’s dive into this discussion with Dr. Peter Kim and the intersection of all things entrepreneurship, side gigs, medicine, money, and real estate.

I love this podcast!
Shortly before finishing residency, a young attending whom I admire very much, and who’s productivity is nothing short of superhuman, shared similar safe advice about the power of “No.”
Saying “No” to people can still be very anxiety-provoking for me. But never once have I regretted saying “No,” to an “opportunity” when that’s what my gut was telling me.
May we all live our Hell Yes life!
Heck ya!
