Attorneys who specialize in asset protection often use a lot of fear in their marketing materials. They want us to feel like we are going to be sued and lose everything. Is this fear appropriate? How much anxiety should a doctor really feel about asset protection? Our guest in this episode is Jay Adkisson, an expert in asset protection. We discuss a basic framework for thinking about asset protection, domestic asset protection trusts, personal liability insurance, malpractice insurance, protecting your home equity, LLCs, the California Private Retirement Plan, bankruptcies, and how many doctors he has known personally who have lost everything in a lawsuit. If worry over protecting your assets has kept you up at night, this is the episode for you.

For medicine and healthcare nationally, it is not good that as physicians, we are tending to abdicate our leadership opportunities. If we refuse to do it, less qualified people are going to take on that role with consequences which we don't necessarily want. In this episode we discuss physician leadership with Dr. Brent Lacey. See the full show notes here https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/the-value-of-physician-leadership-podcast-197 . We talk about how to overcome our reluctance to lead and be better leaders, how to run more efficient meetings, manage hiring and firing better, deal with crises, and have a vision and a mission for our practice that everyone buys into. In the day to day work as a doctor, leadership is required. Gain the leadership skills you need. Start with this episode.

By becoming more intentional in their spending and cost conscious in their travel they were able to pay off their loans sooner than they planned. You can still do this in a high cost of living area.

Understanding how the tax brackets work will aid your tax planning and make for more informed, reasonable discussions of tax policy. People don't actually grasp how tax brackets work and they routinely overestimate how much they pay in taxes. We think there are four reasons why tax brackets are hard for people to comprehend. Listen to this episode to find out what they are and to gain a better understanding of tax brackets. See full show notes here https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/understanding-tax-brackets-podcast-196.

For those with a firm grasp of how they are taxed, we also answer listener questions about choosing stock options or restricted stock units at your next job, what are the major classes of bonds the average DIY investor should understand and consider, which bond classes are least correlated with stocks, what a reasonable overall bond allocation is, bond classes that individuals who live in high COLAs should consider, AOTC tax credits, financial book recommendations for children, and Non governmental 457s.
