47 - Implementing AI in the Medical Practice
07/15/24 • 25 min
Dr. Kevin Mailo is joined by physician and entrepreneur Dr. Amjed (AJ) Kadhim-Saleh. AJ has a remarkable story to share because he is not only a family physician in Toronto who built his own clinic in his second year of residency, but an AI entrepreneur as well. He and his wife are the founders of Pippen, an AI technology specifically designed to ease the administrative notes burden of physicians. He tells Kevin all about how it works and why it will revolutionize physician lives.
Dr. Kadhim-Saleh describes how building and managing his own clinic from the ground up was a big challenge that added an extra administrative burden to his days. He says that one of the largest unpaid administrative burdens is one that faces all physicians: taking patient notes. The extra time drain from that pushed him towards burnout. So he and his wife created an AI that works in the background of patient conversations, transcribes, and takes notes. It frees physicians from being stuck to a screen taking notes instead of facing patients and conversing and eases the burden. AJ describes the potential of AI for physicians to Kevin, explaining all the ways in which it is already making their lives easier and the ways it will be incorporated into practices and clinics in the future.

46 - Journey to Financial Freedom
Physician Empowerment Masterclass Faculty Member Simon Wong joins Dr. Wing Lim for a conversation about financial freedom. Simon dissects how the interchangeable terms of financial freedom, financial independence, and financial security actually hold rather different meanings and how there are philosophical mindset factors that affect where people see themselves as finally achieving freedom or security. What are the quality of living goals, retirement goals, and wealth ambitions? Simon walks Wing through how all of these affect financial freedom.
Dr. Wing Lim asks the question “When are we free?” which leads Simon to explain that financial freedom is almost impossible to 100% achieve because life will always contain risk. Even a passive income real estate portfolio carries the innate risk of rising interest rates or damage to a property due to fire. But Simon also points out that feeling 100% secure in whatever the projected “freedom” rate is for each individual isn’t necessary because one can experience a sense of financial freedom at 70% certainty or 90% certainty. Simon and Wing discuss all the factors that affect financial freedom, how to think about it, what to set up to make it a future reality, and why a financial planner can assist in setting the right goalposts for hitting that freedom.

48 - Mythbusters in the Financial Marketplace with Nick Giovannetti
Dr. Wing Lim hosts Physician Empowerment Masterclass Faculty Member and Certified Financial Planner Nick Giovannetti in a myth-busting conversation on the financial marketplace. Win and Nick discuss the good and bad aspects of the industry, what to look for, how to verify information, and why research is important before entrusting your wealth to an advisor or team.
Nick Giovannetti explains that the relative ease with which licensing can be attained in the financial industry leads to some advisors not being proficient in areas where they may claim proficiency. He advises anyone looking to work with a financial advisor to perform due diligence - to search how long somebody has been insurance licensed or, if they are less experienced, do they have a good team around them. It’s alright to ask questions about somebody’s abilities. Wing and Nick talk about why everyone should background check where information is coming from, perform peer review, encourage the financial team members to work together, and why we should not be afraid to explore other financial planning options if we’ve outgrown our current team. This episode myth-busts common misconceptions, addresses concerns, and offers sound advice on everything in the financial marketplace.
