Docs Outside The Box
Hosts Dr. Nii (Ghanaian) and Dr. Renee (Haitian) are first-generation physicians who paid off $662,000 in student loans in 3 years - while figuring out contracts, career moves, and money management that their colleagues learned at home.
Every episode covers what first-gen docs need to know:
- Contract negotiation and career decisions
- Paying off debt without family financial guidance
- Building wealth from scratch
- The questions you don't know to ask (but your colleagues already knew)
Real strategies from doctors who had to figure it out on their own.
