The Physician Philosopher™

This week, Dr. Fahd Ahmad from Rogue Dad MD joins me for a discussion about divorce, money, faith, and how those things interact with being a parent and physician. When we give voice to our experiences and shame, it brings light and might resonate with someone else

In this episode, the Prudent Plastic Surgeon and I discuss money and mindset. We dive into his burnout experience following his fellowship, how his mindset shifted when he established a financial plan, and his equation for reaching nearly $1 million in assets. After all, money is a double-edged sword. It can be used as a weapon to bludgeon you into submission or to provide great freedom in your life.

The natural process that most people go through when trying to gain clarity often complicates things. But what happens if you start with a clean slate and build up to your ideal situation?

When you learn to act in spite of the risk of fear and failure, that’s when you can unlock financial success. It is also when you can make the change you need to make at work. If we want the freedom that money can provide, we must operate against our fear-based money mindset.

Burnout in medicine is expensive. Each year it costs us billions of dollars. What if the healthcare industry can transition to a different model of care that centers people over profit?

When leaders learn to choose people first, the results are positive and endless. In this episode, I spend some time explaining a fundamental concept that will help physician leaders make a decision that not only reduces burnout but provides a return on their investment.

Have you ever wondered why you have a hard time sticking to your goals? Maybe you think it is willpower or motivation? Maybe you think you end up not having enough time to put in the work required? What you will learn in today’s episode is the ONE thing you need to know to reach your goal.
