White Coat Investor Podcast

Dr. Jim Dahle is a practicing emergency physician who got tired of watching his colleagues make avoidable financial mistakes. He started the White Coat Investor blog, then the podcast, and has built what is essentially the personal finance hub for high-income medical professionals. The show drops twice a week and has amassed well over 600 episodes since launching in January 2017, which means there is a back catalog for almost every financial question a doctor might have. The format varies. Some episodes are solo, with Dahle walking through a specific topic like PSLF strategies, backdoor Roth IRAs, or disability insurance. Others feature interviews with financial advisors, real estate investors, or physicians who have reached financial independence. He also does listener Q&A episodes where he tackles questions submitted by the audience, which tend to be some of the most practical installments. Dahle's style is direct and occasionally blunt. He is not trying to sell you a financial product; he is trying to make sure you do not get ripped off by someone who is. That perspective resonates with a lot of physicians who went through a decade of training without a single lecture on how money works. The podcast covers student loan repayment, retirement planning, real estate investing, side hustles, contract negotiation, and wealth building in a way that is specifically tailored to the physician financial timeline. If you are a doctor and you listen to one finance podcast, this is probably the one.
