A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the show. Only wish I found sooner. Great primer to stimulate learning about finances for a doc, especially for someone who isn’t quite ready to dive into reading a few financial books.

jagster814 · May 2025

I was given a copy of the original White Coat Investor book by a co-resident back in 2018. I had always been interested in personal finance but that book opened up a whole new world to me. The entire WCI platform, from its website, forum, blog, and podcasts have truly contributed to my financial success and wellbeing. I started my first job as an attending with over $500,000 in student loan debt. With the principles espoused by Dr. Dahle, I was able to pay off all of my debt in a little over 3 years and have been working towards financial independence ever since. I assumed FI would allow me to retire early, but now I enjoy my job so much that I think FI will just allow me to continuing practicing until 65 on my own terms. Thank you Dr. Dahle and everyone at WCI for everything you have done and continue to do to make high-income health professionals thrive with personal finance! I truly do agree with you that we are better doctors when we have our financial house in order.

I found this podcast in 2024 and it has made me so much more confident in how to manage my finances. The relief from this stress has improved my quality of life immensely. Dr Dahle and crew are so thorough in their explanations, inspiring confidence in their recommendations. The guests bring wonderful thoughts, experiences and perspectives. I wish I had this information while I was in veterinary school (or even earlier!) - it would have made a huge difference. Thank you so much to Dr Dahle and the WCI team for helping so many of us every day! Honorable mentions: The recommended reading list (on website) has also been awesome (can find some titles on audiobooks). And the blog compliments the material in these episodes so well!

This podcast has been incredibly helpful in improving my financial literacy. I wish I had discovered it sooner—I would have made fewer mistakes, which could have translated into millions. I learn something new from every episode and even try to go back and catch up on earlier ones. Thank you for everything you do!
