We discuss making the transition from trainee to attending successfully, including looking for a job, finding the “right” job, and setting yourself up for financial success. We also discuss a lot about investing and the role of your own head in making the right choices. For doctors and all others investing, your own worst enemy is looking at you in the mirror.

Mike has some really great perspectives and is very open throughout this amazing discussion. You won't want to miss it!
