White Coat Investor Podcast

This podcast has been incredibly helpful in improving my financial literacy. I wish I had discovered it sooner—I would have made fewer mistakes, which could have translated into millions. I learn something new from every episode and even try to go back and catch up on earlier ones. Thank you for everything you do!

This podcast has a practical and pragmatic approach for high income professionals to become financially literate and achieve the financial goals they may not have even known they had. I appreciate that so much of what is discussed here is good sense for everyone- to live below your means and to make a plan for the future. The variety of people at many different stages of career brings a depth of perspective. I love appreciate growing my financial literacy while feeling connected to a larger community. Thanks for all you do!

While many of these episodes are indeed useful and relevant discussions on topics like employment contracts and responsible retirement planning, I have now encountered two episodes in as many weeks that fell short for the same reason. Both episodes were meant as inspirational success stories, but both showcase physicians who are debt-free and millionaires so soon only because (by their own admission) their parents paid for their medical training. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine to acknowledge the help we all receive, and there’s nothing morally impeachable about these stories, but they represent a population that doesn’t actually overcome the single largest financial hurdle to new and aspiring physicians. Emphasizing these stories is counterproductive for the vast majority of those seeking advice from WCI and alienates potential listeners. We would like to hear from more individuals who have successfully used clever and innovative investment vehicles or budgeting strategies to pay off their loans AND build net worth quickly. Even if they don’t hit the million dollar milestone as early, the lessons they have learned are more relevant and useful to the target audience.

Where was this when I was in college!!! This is a much needed resources, doctor or not, to get smart with money. I thank Dr. Dahle and his team for putting this together and writing his books. I have a much better grasp on money and the road to financial independence and I hope to continue growing this knowledge. Every resident and medical student needs to do this without exception!
