This gift of parenthood has allowed Dr. Hammond to pursue her passion and shed light on a condition that affects millions.

It’s very important to have people from various backgrounds tell their stories on Docs Outside the Box. Whether it’s a voice from the suburbs or cities, the docs that I have on the show offer perspectives we ALL can learn from. There’s a lot of thought that goes into the process of figuring out who will be a good fit for the show. I’m really proud that my guests give great advice for you to live outside the box.

And that continues with my next guest….

My next guest is Dr. Aletha Maybank and she brings a very unique perspective on how we measure, determine and improve the health of a community. She works at one of the largest and oldest public health agencies in the world. Dr. Maybank is Deputy Commissioner at the NYC DOH & Mental Hygiene and is also the Director of the Center of Health Equity.

We talk about her early career as a hospitalist and how knowing what she did NOT want to do set her on a mission where she has trailblazed her own path to career fulfillment and happiness.

Things to pick up in this interview:

The difference between clinical medicine and public health
She’s impressive, but she shares a relatable moment of imposter syndrome
The difference between leadership and management
Intentional about what she doesn’t want
How she answers #imnotjustadoc

Make money while you sleep.

Well, my next guest has something to say about this…and he’s making it easier for all you docs to start setting up passive streams of income! My guest is PIMD.

Passive Income MD jumped on the show this week to discuss how to not be so damn reliant on your day job. He too felt the pressures of trading time for dollars and took his knack for real estate to the blogosphere and the rest is history. In two years, the website has become a regular go-to for physicians looking to make money outside of medicine.

Recently, his site joined forces with The White Coat Investor Network – congratulations!

Things to pick up in this episode:

Why he’s anonymous with his persona
Why he started the blog
His definition of passive income
His recommendations for those looking to develop passive income
How he answers #imnotjustadoc

Great Quote: “There’s never a good time to start anything. There’s always a good reason not to.”

Recently, I flew to Los Angeles to interview an upcoming guest for the show. In LA, I stayed with an old friend of mine – Kwesi Asamoah. We met in college and have been friends ever since. That’s almost 20 years folks! Besides giving me a place to stay, he helped me with equipment checks and recording portions of the interview on camera.

There’s more to Kwesi than just a great friend. Not only does he love all things related to the NBA, he also enjoys world travel and surfing. He’s not all fun and games though, Kwesi is formally trained as both an engineer and architect – yeah he’s pretty smarty-art (Chris Rock reference).

Last year, Kwesi added architect outside the box to his repertoire when he chucked the deuces to his old employed life and started working as an independent contractor. He hasn’t looked back since.

He joined me for my first Docs Outside the Box meetup at WurstKuche restaurant in Venice a couple of weeks ago. We got there pretty early and I decided to interview him about what pushed him to live outside the box. He came correct and kept it 100%. I’m telling you docs…we can learn a lot from those who aren’t in the medical field. I bet those sitting on the fence can learn a lot from this interview.

Things to pick up in this interview:

What pushed him into bouncing from his employed position
The quote from a co-worker that gave him the confidence to embrace life as an independent contractor
How we bonded in college over Beer Pong/Why he hates the New York Knicks
His tips to make sure you don’t stumble when starting as an independent contractor
How he answers #imnotjustanengineer/architect

50 – Eliminate your Debt NOW! – Cory Fawcett, MD Mar 04, 2018

I am very big on paying off student loan debt as quick as possible. Why? It’s not because I did it and want everyone to blindly just follow me. I believe a life without debt allows you to fully realize the potential of your income and make moves that can lead to a more fulfilling career.

My next guest is here to talk about how doctors can quickly pay off their student loans or other debt as quickly as possible. Dr. Cory Fawcett created Prescription for Financial Success – Helping Health Care Professionals Grow after a combination of thinking outside of the box and looking to decrease his clinical practice a bit. He has now published the first three books in The Doctors Guide financial series, writes a weekly blog, and posts 3-5 minute videos on his Facebook page daily.

After his first book won an award for Non-Fiction book of the year he decided it was time to give up clinical medicine and concentrate on changing the financial lives of doctors through writing and coaching. His last day of clinical medicine was Feb 20, 2017. He now calls himself a “repurposed” surgeon.

We’ll be talking about his book – Eliminating Debt. The White Coat Investor called him the “Dave Ramsey for Doctors without the bad investing advice.” I definitely agree with that. I found his book easy to read and the advice was simple and applicable whether you’re a resident or young attending. Definitely wish I had discovered him sooner!!

Things to pick up in this episode:

Paying off debt vs investing
Why you should pay off your debt as quick as possible
He answers the scenario of a young Neurosurgeon attending with plenty of debt, no savings and investing
Advice to pre-meds & medical students
How he answers #imnotjustadoc
