Today, I’m joined by Dr. Ryan Mallory, a cardiologist who found a way to regain control over his career and life. After battling burnout and struggling with long hours, he made a bold decision to change the course of his professional life.

Ryan and his wife sought a better way to balance work and family, which led him to the world of locums and short-term rentals (STRs). These avenues not only allowed him to increase his income, but they also gave him the freedom to be present with his family, significantly reduce his work hours, and unlock opportunities to grow wealth outside of traditional medicine.

We explore the practicalities of making such a transition, including the financial benefits of locums and how investing in STRs can help you minimize taxes while increasing income. Ryan also shares actionable steps and insights that will help you design a life with more time and financial freedom. If you’re ready to take control of your career and life, hit play now!

“You're in control of your own future, and the only thing that's limiting you is the thoughts that you have about what you're able to accomplish.” ~ Dr. Ryan Mallory

Could the discipline you’ve been chasing be actually leading you away from success? Today I’m hosting my friend, mentor, and co-author Craig Ballantyne to explore his new book, The Dark Side of Discipline. We unpack why the world’s obsession with extreme discipline—cold plunges, 4 AM wake-ups, and relentless routines—can sometimes do more harm than good.

Craig shares powerful insights on how to identify your level 10 problems—the challenges that truly matter—and solve them by putting in a level 10 effort. We discuss why discipline isn’t one-size-fits-all, how the environment shapes your habits, and why your social circle is the ultimate predictor of success.

Craig also breaks down his effortless discipline system, showing you how to reprogram your habits without relying on willpower. So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still aren’t seeing the results you want, this episode is for you. Tune in now for the strategies you need to make real, lasting changes.

In This Episode:

- An overview of “The Dark Side of Discipline”

- Redefining discipline: level 10 effort for level 10 problems

- When are discipline challenges useful?

- Standards vs. willpower

- The biggest mistakes when building discipline

- Develop the strength to say no to things that don't matter

- The 80/20 rule for discipline

I had an incredible conversation with real estate investor and entrepreneur Greg Dickerson, who shared wealth insights every physician-entrepreneur needs to hear. Greg has built and scaled multiple businesses, invested in real estate, and guided companies—including my own—to seven and eight-figure growth.

We dive into leadership, delegation, and the mindset shifts that help physicians transition from high-income earners to true wealth builders. Greg explains why many doctors struggle to step away from hands-on roles and how to build systems that run smoothly without you. If you’re wondering how to scale your practice, invest wisely, or create financial freedom beyond medicine, this episode is for you.

“In business, you have to allow people to make decisions and mistakes so they can learn from them and grow.”~ Greg Dickerson
