Summary
Dr. Kenyon Meadows is a practicing radiation oncologist and avid investment enthusiast. He is launching a new finance blog called Alternative Financial Medicine and has an upcoming book of the same. The blog focuses on what are called alternative assets. Alternative assets, most broadly defined, are anything other than traditional stocks, bonds, money market and CDs.

He has invested in dozens of modern investment platforms including P2P lending, Forex, Real Estate Crowd funding, and many others. Dr. Meadows joins us to talk about his experience with these platforms, his investment portfolio, and new investment plans.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Invest Like a Boss podcast. I'm Sam Marks and I'm Johnny FD. We're self-made entrepreneurs who invest our own money and use modern technology to invest like a boss. Join us each week for exclusive interviews with our network of modern investors, business owners, and multi-millionaires to discover new ways to invest our hard-earned cash. Hey guys and welcome to episode 37 in the Best Like a Boss podcast. I'm Johnny FD and this is Sam Marks. |
| 0:23.2 | Hey guys. Welcome back to another great episode. How are you, Johnny? |
| 0:26.7 | Fantastic, buddy. I'm really excited for this week's episode. It's a little bit different than the ones we normally have. |
| 0:33.2 | Oh yes. This one's going to be awesome because I think so many people are going to be able to relate to Dr. Canyon Meadows. He's definitely a boss. He listens to the podcast and he invest in a ton of |
| 0:45.0 | alternative investment platforms, which I'm excited to dive into him with. Yeah, so he's an actual |
| 0:51.1 | practicing doctor. He's a radiation oncologist. |
| 0:54.5 | So if you guys aren't familiar with that term, they are people who, I guess doctors who specialize |
| 0:58.8 | in tumors and cancer growth. |
| 1:01.5 | So what's really cool about Dr. Meadows is he is a full-time professional doctor while |
| 1:08.9 | investing on the side and he wants to share his information about what |
| 1:12.5 | he's kind of learned on the side, not, you know, being a full-time investor. And I think this is |
| 1:17.3 | going to resonate with a lot of our listeners who have another job, have a nine to five, you know, |
| 1:22.6 | maybe you're not a doctor, maybe you're in another field or maybe you're an entrepreneur, |
| 1:26.7 | and you want to be able to |
| 1:27.5 | invest in the side without having a be a full-time job. Exactly like you and I, right, Johnny? Yeah, |
| 1:32.4 | definitely. I will definitely neither are Sam or Sam was doctors. But, you know, it does fall into that |
| 1:37.4 | category where we like things very hands-off. So that's why I'm really excited about this episode. |
| 1:42.5 | And guys, we want to just take an opportunity here to discuss and review and refresh |
| 1:48.7 | everybody on the goals and the purpose of this podcast. |
| 1:51.9 | I guess we always assume that if you're listening to this episode, that you've listened |
| 1:55.6 | to every episode so far. |
| 1:57.0 | But we recognize now that that's not the case. |
