    We have a fireside chat with my good buddy Pratik and we discuss his approach to his career, personal life, and financial journey. Pratik shares with us his learnings and also many golden nuggets. Nobody teaches us these life lessons. We kinda have to learn these as we go. Sadly, many of us still are struggling to learn these life lessons.

    Aug 27 2025

    Physicians have skills that can be applied to many industries and sectors of the economy. Many of us have followed our passion or calling. Many of us can still do this while working our day job.

  • Oh doctor...don't forget about the taxes!
    Jul 12 2025

    While I am not an accountant, I like to learn about taxes in Canada. This is because it allows me to better properly plan my financial life. I recognize many of us in the medical community shy away from learning about taxes that impact us. It is not in our best interest. It is essential to understand taxes well.

  • The future is so bright, I need to wear my shades (thanks to Trump's tariffs)
    Mar 15 2025

    There is no doubt we are facing a scenario that no one has ever seen before. The tumultuousness of the economy and markets at the hand of 1 person and his policies is unparalleled.

    Despite the uncertainty, a few silver linings are beginning to emerge. The future in Canada, in the US, and across the globe will be bright. We will all emerge stronger.

    How do we prepare for today and the short-term pain? How do we prepare for tomorrow's long-term gain?

    We will discuss with Jonathan Lin.

    Please enjoy!
