Dr. Brent W. Lacey, M.D. teaches healthcare professionals how to manage their businesses successfully and master their personal finances. Most physicians and dentists enter their profession with large amounts of personal debt, and beyond that - they begin working with no knowledge of how to actually run a clinical practice. You should be able to help your patients and do what you love without being stressed by all the other obligations that come with managing your medical practice. Dr. Lacey interviews physicians and other industry experts on topics such as physician burnout, financial independence, business management, leadership, personal growth, marriage, parenting, side hustles, marketing and branding, and medical education. You shouldn’t have to feel overwhelmed by the pressures of running your practice or by your own personal finances. Restore the joy you receive from helping your patients, knowing you have the knowledge and skills to handle all the other responsibilities that come with that.

It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!

I'm excited to tell you about a new online course I'm launching called “Residency-Proof Your Marriage.” I’ve seen way too many couples get divorced or see their relationships go sour during their medical career. Medical training is an inherently divisive time, so you have to work to combat that!

This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time. Whether you’re in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.

This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage. A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time. This course is just a fraction of that cost and you can complete it on your own time!

The course is also eligible for CME credits, so you can use your employer's CME funds to sign up.

Registration for the course is open NOW!

It's Time to get Unbusy - Garland Vance, D.Min

The Scope of Practice Podcast

02/14/22 • 41 min

5.0

Episode 98 -When did the phrase, “I’m busy” become a badge of honor? I’ve been wrestling with this lately. When did we get to a point when someone asks “How’s it going?” and we reply “It’s busy” like it’s something we’re proud of? I think part of it comes from the mistaken impression the busy-ness equals accomplishment. It’s all too easy for us to get caught up in the idea that being busy means we’re getting stuff done, or that we’re accomplishing everything we want to do. Sometimes being busy just means running around putting out fires and never getting to the things that actually matter to you. Today’s guest is going to teach us how to get “un-busy” so we can reclaim our time and our sanity and make room for the things that are truly important to us. It's time to get Unbusy.

Podcast Episode 87 - Can you really have it all?

The Scope of Practice Podcast

11/29/21 • 61 min

Episode 87 - Today I’m going to do something a little different. I’m bringing you two of my most popular talks from the recent Marriage and Money, M.D. Summit. We had over 1300 people register for the conference, and the speakers did an absolutely phenomenal job! Today we ask, "Can you really have it all?"

This first conversation is with Drs. Nii and Renée Darko. They met in medical school and married after a 10-year courtship. When they realized they were drowning in almost $700,000 of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments, they made a pact to pay off their student loan debt in 15 years. In only 3 short years, not only were they free of student loan debt, but during their debt payoff, they cash flowed several rounds of infertility treatments and quit their jobs to become entrepreneurs, starting 3 businesses.

Our next speaker is Dr. Kate Mangona. She and her husband Victor, are active and passive real estate investors in over 3 thousand multifamily units and single-family rentals and they lead a Multifamily Masterclass course where they teach others how to passively invest in real estate to grow their wealth as they sleep. Kate hosts the Medicine, Marriage & Money podcast and leads the Medicine, Marriage, & Money Coaching Program where she helps married women physicians with children spend less time arguing with their spouse, and more time reigniting the sparks once felt during their honeymoon.
