White Coat Investor Podcast

As a physician who used my GI Bill to earn an MBA, I can confidently say I’ve learned more about personal finance from Dr. Dahle than I ever did from my own financial advisor or my professors. He has a rare gift for delivering pragmatic, actionable financial advice in terms that are easy to understand and tailored to real people’s lives. He takes the time to answer individual questions thoughtfully and generously, and it’s clear that he pours both his energy and his own resources into helping others succeed. Those who know him personally are incredibly fortunate, and for the rest of us, we’re lucky to have such a friendly, familiar voice guiding us. His teaching is so foundational that I give his book to every high school graduate I know so they can start building financial wisdom early. His impact reaches far beyond finance—it changes lives. Thank you, Dr Dahle. Please continue your great work.

Great reliable resource for the fundamentals of personal finance!

I’ve been listening to the WCI postcast for several years, and it has made an instrumental difference in my financial life. Dr. Dahle and his guests provide a comprehensive financial education that is critical information for all American adults (and likely helpful in all economies, not only the American system). While targeted to high income individuals, the information is broad and fundamental. This podcast is an ideal resource for anyone and everyone on the path to take control of their financial life. Thanks to the WCI podcast, website, and books, I went from feeling lost and overwhelmed about advice to “accumulate X times your income”, to having a detailed and specific written financial plan that will help my family achieve financial independence in a reasonable time frame. Using the principals recommended here, my net wealth has grown substantially, and my financial anxiety has all but evaporated. Thank you again to the entire WCI team! It clearly shows that you are all committed to your mission of providing excellent financial resources.

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.)
