## Resource

In this interview, Dr. Jim Dahle is joined by David Stein, host of the Money for the Rest of Us podcast and author of the book Money for the Rest of Us . David shares his personal story of burnout, how it reshaped his relationship with work and investing, and why many high-income professionals struggle not because they lack information—but because they focus on the wrong details. The conversation explores lessons from institutional investing, how to live well without constantly worrying about money, and why simplicity and clarity often outperform complexity. This episode is especially relevant for physicians and other high-income professionals who want a thoughtful, disciplined approach to money—without turning investing into a second full-time job. One of the most underrated financial moves in medicine is working locum tenens. It pays significantly more on average, and you can work locums full time or on the side of your full time. When you work with CompHealth, the #1 staffing agency , they cover your housing and travel costs —which on top of higher pay, really adds up. Locums also gives you more control of your career, allowing you to go where you want, when you want, with a schedule that works for you. It's the perfect way to get ahead financially while getting focused on what you love. Whether it's locum tenens or a regular permanent position, visit https://whitecoatinvestor.com/CompHealth and build your career your way with the power of CompHealth.
