Summary
Today we are talking with a doc who is celebrating getting back on track after some financial mistakes. He made the same mistake so many of us have and ended up with a bad financial advisor. His advisor sold him a disability policy that was overpriced and not a good product. Once he had his financial awakening he realized he could do this on his own. He fired his advisor and dropped the crappy policy. He took on his student loans in a new way and got rid of those too. He talked about the process of forgiving himself for his mistakes and celebrated the things he did do well. We love this story that shows us that making mistakes is part of the deal and you can always take control of your financial life and get back on track. After the interview we will be talking about career longevity for Finance 101.
