7 podcasts for a smarter, richer doctor
Key Takeaways
Most of us have commutes. For some, they’re a daily reminder of the fact that there’s usually someplace else we’d rather be. But for the lucky few, the daily commute is an opportunity to relax and learn. You too can be among the enlightened ones. Cultivating a podcasting habit will help.
Last year, we highlighted 5 podcasts to make you a better doctor. Some were explicitly medical. Others could be applied to all areas of life -- not just career. This year we’re going all in on medicine. These podcasts are specific to doctors. They are among the best for broadening your clinical and healthcare industry knowledge, as well as building financial security.
Docs Outside the Box
Meet Dr. Nii Darko, a trauma surgeon, entrepreneur, author, and host of the Docs Outside the Box podcast. Darko used the locums life to create a career on his terms. From there, he turned his focus outward, looking to create a meaningful life and career that benefited others around him. In his own words, he wanted a life and career that was outside of the box. He put together this podcast to showcase doctors who have accomplished just that -- hoping to show up-and-comers, as well as veteran physicians, that there are other paths to take.
The Hippocratic Hustle
Carrie Reynolds, a pediatric gastroenterologist and serial entrepreneur, wants listeners of The Hippocratic Hustle to break free. This podcast is all about finding that magical balance of a rewarding career, lucrative side-ventures, and a meaningful life. The Hustle focuses on female doctors who have reached financial independence by getting creative with side-projects. Special personal finance episodes are co-created with dermatologist Bonnie Koo, who you might also know as Wealthy Mom MD.
Financial Residency
The Financial Residency podcast promises to provide the financial education you didn’t have time for in medical school. And it does a good job of it. The financial-advisor host, Ryan Inman, is married to a physician. He brings this first-hand experience to help physicians build the financial skills and habits they need to keep more of the money they make.
