Ray shares hard-earned insights from working with high-income professionals, revealing why traditional financial advice often falls short for doctors and practice owners. Together, they explore the critical differences between earning well and building lasting wealth, and why an entrepreneurial mindset is essential for physicians who want true financial freedom.

This conversation dives into retirement planning frameworks specifically designed for physicians, the most common financial planning mistakes doctors make, and how proper risk management and protection strategies can prevent catastrophic setbacks. Ray also explains how strategic planning—combined with education and intentional investing—can dramatically change a physician’s long-term trajectory.

Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, this episode provides a clear roadmap to help physicians move from simply practicing medicine to mastering their financial future.
