Patrick shares his story from growing up as the son of two refugee parents who each became medical professionals. Listen to how this unique upbringing impacted his life financially and otherwise.

He also goes into the difficult decision and why he decided to change career paths early in his training. Moreover, his experience buying too many sweaters (yup, sweaters) in training led him to his financial enlightening!

But the majority of the discussion centers around his side career as a physician entrepreneur. Hear about why he started the side gigs that he has and what he is currently doing.

I also really love Patrick's philosophy and strategy regarding real estate investing in which he is really doing a great job.
