In this week's podcast, we interview Dr. Gregory Hanson. He is a radiologist by training who founded flipMD, a physician-focused freelancing platform. What is truly remarkable about his story is that he started this company with his wife during residency and sold it to GoodRx in a little less than two years! Not only that, he did this with very little venture funding and he also managed the entire M&A (mergers and acquisitions) process himself without a broker. In this episode, we also delve briefly into his real estate journey. Like so many others in our community, he invested in short-term rentals, not only for the cashflow but also for the tax advantages.

This week's guest is Dr. Latifat Akintade. She is a practicing Gastroenterologist with an emphasis in Inflammatory bowel diseases. She is also the founder of MoneyFitMD, a money coaching platform for women physicians and author of Done with Broke. She knew nothing about money, investment or real estate until about 5 years ago when she realized that she was on the fast track to burn out. In the last 5 years, she and her husband have achieved financial independence through diversifying their sources of incomes. They started actively investing in 2019 after completing the Zero to Freedom course with Leti and Kenji. They currently own 11 doors in California and Washington state. With the right tools, she believes every woman physician can create their own rich life. Real estate can…
Would you consider yourself a planner? Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time. However, over the last 3-6 months, this has all changed. Now, instead of labeling himself "I'm not a planner," he now loves to plan and can't imagine beginning his day without a plan. Why the dramatic shift? He reached a threshold. A threshold is the point at which you get fed up with your current situation and you decide to make a change. So how did he make the shift? First thing is, he changed his…

Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just don't have enough time to do [fill in the blank]. This is one of the most common excuses we hear from prospective students of our Zero to Freedom and Accelerating Wealth courses. They say, for example, "it's not a good time, maybe in 6 months." We understand that life happens and some people legitimately have more important things going on in their lives that they have to prioritize. But our guess is that it's the minority. Most people thinking about getting into real estate investing, DO have the time. Where does this come from? Oftentimes, it's rooted in fear. It's an excuse that they make up in their minds to help them cope with the fact that they aren't taking action. The…

One of the most common laments we hear is "I just don't have enough time for this stuff."
