White Coat Investor Podcast

There's no shortage of personal finance podcasts out there, but The White Coat Investor stands apart in one crucial way: Dr. Dahle understands what actually matters for busy high-income professionals. You won't find episodes on optimizing credit card rewards or other time-intensive strategies that might save you a few hundred dollars a year. That's not the point. Instead, you get thoughtful, practical guidance on the things that genuinely move the needle—the insurance products you actually need, the estate planning basics you shouldn't ignore, and the investment approach that lets you build wealth without becoming a part-time financial hobbyist. What I appreciate most is the perspective. He'll remind you to spend time with your family. He'll encourage you to donate. He keeps the focus on the few decisions that truly matter rather than drowning you in optimization details that consume time you don't have. The advice is reasonable, well-informed, and calibrated for people whose time is their scarcest resource. If you're a high-income professional looking for financial guidance that respects your priorities, this podcast delivers exactly what you need—and nothing you don't. Thank you to Dr. Dahle and the whole team. You've made a real difference in my financial well-being, and honestly, in my peace of mind too. (Note: The podcast has a medical focus, and some episodes are physician-specific, but most of the advice applies broadly to high-income professionals. I'm a lawyer and have found tremendous value here.)

5 years ago, as a 54 year-old solo practice surgeon, I realized I had financially underachieved despite reasonable career success. I had always considered myself financially literate, but WCI and Dr. Dahle (along with JL Collins and Dave Ramsey) helped me get back on track with my approach. Having adopted the WCI mindset of high savings rate, low-cost index funds, spending far less than I make, and using all available qualified account tools (i.e., adding medical HSA, backdoor Roth and Cash Balance Plan to my existing 401k with profit sharing and taxable account strategy), I have greatly improved my situation and am much closer to being able to retire (although I plan to do that gradually and make sure I have something to retire to). Thank you Dr. Dahle!

Psychiatry intern here who no longer worries about finances thanks to WCI!

For the first 10 years of my career after finishing Internal Medicine residency I was working for another doctor as a W-2 employee. Then in 2015 I started working for myself as an owner of my small primary care practice. When I had to pay my first tax bill, I was in disbelief. Then it turned into anger and frustration: I was in my early 40s and I had never learned or been exposed to basic investing and personal finance topics. I immediately started searching on how to lower my tax bill and to begin saving for my personal goals and even retirement. This is when I found White Coat Investor. Now I can easily say that my personal and financial life has improved immensely because of the simple but powerful principles discussed on the podcast and the forum. Thank you WCI for helping us become better doctors by securing our financial futures.
