Carpe Diem MD
In this post, Dr. Cook gives us a glimpse into the inspiring audiobooks and podcasts that sustained him through years of brutal SoCal traffic. He was quite partial to real estate podcasts like Biggerpockets, Tony Robbins, and Robert Kiyosaki. No wonder he ended up as a rental real estate specialist!

The Prudent Plastic Surgeon
In our final offering, Jordan Frey, MD brings up a very important point: there’s a lot of luck involved in financial success. If I had started investing in real estate with a full doctor’s salary in 2010, for example, I’d be much farther along financially. But if I was just getting started with real estate investment just before 2008, I’d probably be a devout index funds only investor with a smoldering hate for real estate!
There’s a lot of things in life and investing that are indeed just luck, and Dr. Frey investigates this phenomenon in this post. What are his recommendations to minimize the randomness of luck?
