What if you could design your life with no limitations? That was the question Dr. Leti Alto’s husband, Kenji, posed to her — and it changed everything. In this episode, Dr. Alto shares how that one conversation led her to rethink the path she was on: from following the traditional trajectory of a family medicine hospitalist with OB skills, to co-founding a mission-driven real estate business that empowers physicians to achieve financial freedom. Today, she helps doctors — especially single moms — build hands-on real estate portfolios that can change their lives. Inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, her method often starts with buying a single duplex and builds from there. Dr. Alto walks us through how, with the right mindset and education, many of her students reach financial independence in just three years.
