“Winning is hard when you’re not sure what the goal is.” — Doc G What’s good everyone! Has the thought of leaving medicine ever crossed your mind? I mean who hasn’t daydreamed about quitting their job to pursue their passion? Maybe you thought that being a physician is your calling but— what if this calling burns you out or doesn’t make you happy anymore? Would you still stay? In today’s episode, I got Doc G to confess with us why he left his full-time medical practice and pursued a path that really brought him joy. Doc G is a former high earning physician who is behind the medical blog, DiverseFI and the host of The Earn & Invest Podcast (Formerly What’s Up Next). Doc G and I are going to discuss his financial freedom journey and how he put himself in a place where he can retire when he wants, do what he wants, and enjoy all of it! These are the five main things we discussed in this episode: Doc G shares his early experience with medical blogging and how he started DiverseFI Shattered expectations and moving away from being a physician The anxiety of knowing and feeling like that what you do isn’t for you anymore Discovering your real passion, making a living out of it, and redefining success in your own terms How he answers #imnotjustadoc The Guest Doc G was an internal medicine physician when he discovered the personal finance community through a book called The White Coat Investor.  Since then he has left clinical practice to pursue his passion for deep conversations about money and life.   Earn & Invest | Twitter | Facebook Community | Instagram Resources Mentioned: GruntDoc — Ramblings of an ER Physician DiverseFI – Personal Finance With a Twist Transcription: (coming soon) Love the show?
