Financial Fellowship

by Ryan Inman

Physicians spend a decade training in medicine and hours on money. Financial Fellowship is built to fix that with 3 weekly episodes. A story from the history of money, the wildest ones on record, told start to finish and landed on what it's still doing to your paycheck. A real physician household's finances, taken apart and rebuilt into a ranked list of what to do first. Names changed, numbers shifted, everything else real. And straight answers on the planning decisions physicians face at mid career and beyond, from the people who work on them every day. Hosted by Ryan Inman, who spent more than a decade running a fee only planning firm exclusively for over 500 physician families. Named a Top 100 Financial Advisor in the U.S. by Investopedia, three years running. Taylor Inman, a pediatric pulmonologist, brings the physician to physician perspective. Want your own finances taken apart and rebuilt on the show? Start at financialfellowship.com. Financial Fellowship is education, not financial advice. Ryan Inman is not a licensed investment adviser and does not provide individualized recommendations. Talk to your own professionals about your own situation.
