HeyJaredA Good Problem to Have
In this show, I discuss the concept of "good problems to have" as a physician (like having a significant surplus in your checking account) and the importance of addressing these situations thoughtfully.

Physician Contracts: What Employed Doctors Can Negotiate (w/ Kyle Claussen) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sat down with Kyle Claussen, founder of Resolve, to talk through employed physician contracts. His team reviews thousands of them, and over 80% end up with changes. We cover: Why your contract often doesn't match what you heard in the interview The vague language that lets an employer change your schedule, call, or location How to negotiate without the fear of losing the offer Whether non-competes are still enforceable (they are) What actually happens if you break one This is part one - Next t
Private Practice Ownership, Fellowship ROI, and Contract Negotiation (with Dr. Sravan Panuganti) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week I'm joined by Dr. Sravan Panuganti, a private practice urologist I've known on social media for years, for a wide-ranging conversation. We get into the question of AUM versus fee-only advisors, whether his fellowship was actually worth the lost income, why he chose practice ownership over an employed role, and what he tells residents trying to figure out their next move. A lot of ground covered, and a lot of it applies no matter what specialty you're in.
New Attending Mistakes: Own-Occupation Disability Insurance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Part 4) A lot of new attendings skip own-occupation disability insurance because of the price tag. In this episode, I explain why that's a mistake you don't want to make.

New Attending Mistakes: PSLF, Taxes, and Your Student Loans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before you refinance or pick a payoff plan, you need to think through your career path, especially if public service loan forgiveness is a possibility, your tax filing status, your mental relationship with debt, and how any of this fits into your broader cash flow. These four pieces are more connected than most people realize, and getting them wrong can cost you options you can't get back.
New Attending Mistakes: Not Having a Written Financial Plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time, I'm talking about the written financial plan, why so many people avoid making one, and why that avoidance can cost you. A plan starts with your values, not your numbers: what you want your life to look like, what matters to you, who you're building this for. It sounds like a lot, but you don't have to tackle it all at once. You just have to start. And that's what this episode is all about.
