327-How to Save Money on Medical Expenses Without Accidentally Killing Yourself From Foolish Decisions: Interview with Dr. Mohammad Ashori Apr 27, 2016

Show notes

Medical expenses represent a large percentage of our lifetime expenditures. But do they need to?

My guest today is a practicing physician and he's here to share with us where we can rationally cut back and scrimp and save when it comes to medical expenses.

This area of thought is one of the most taboo areas when it comes to frugality.

Many people who are otherwise quite frugal have an immediate, visceral reaction of condemnation when someone announces they're making different medical decisions in order to save money.

But is this the correct reaction? Or can someone rationally think for themselves and pick and choose the medical care that's right for them?

You be the judge of that!

326-An Immigrant's Path to Entrepreneurship: Lessons Learned with Dan Lok Apr 26, 2016

Show notes

Immigrants to the United States are much more likely to become millionaires than are natural-born citizens. And although my guest today lives in Canada, the parallel is clear.

Dan Lok had a challenging beginning to his career, not the least of which was that he had to begin with learning and improving his English language skills!

His foray into the world of employment came as a 16-year-old earning minimum wage. He quickly realized that he needed to go into business for himself and he hasn't looked back.

Today, he is a multi-millionaire and owner of multiple, highly profitable businesses.

I've invited Dan on to today's show to learn from his experiences and insights.

Enjoy this unique look into an entrepreneur's story and lessons learned!
