    If I Wanted to Invest in Game-Changing Health Tech, This Is What I’d Do | Ep. 50

    Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  ----- In this episode, we’re joined by Dina Tikova, Senior Manager of Startups at UNSW Founders and the driving force behind the Health 10x Accelerator, to unpack how doctors can turn breakthrough medical innovation into real-world wealth and impact, without leaving medicine. With over a decade of experience helping medical founders commercialise health tech, Dina reveals what’s actually working in 2025 to bridge the gap between hospitals, universities, and high-growth startups. She explains how the Health 10x program backs ventures tackling the toughest global health challenges, the ones that need regulation, clinical trials, and funding that traditional investors usually avoid. Together, we explore why Australia has lagged behind the US in translating world-class research into commercial success, what’s finally shifting, and how doctors can play a key role as founders, advisors, or investors. Dina also breaks down how universities are changing the rules, creating new pathways for clinicians to engage with innovation while keeping their medical careers intact. If you’ve ever seen a life-changing idea get stuck in the system and thought, “Someone should do something about that,” this episode will show you how to be that someone, by investing in the future of healthcare innovation. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Intro/Hook 02:09 Dina's Background 03:01 How Dina Titkov ended up in Australia 07:00 Health 10x Accelerator Program at UNSW Founder 08:38 Types of Companies 10x Accelerator Program Helps 10:04 Challenges and Opportunities in University Commercialisation 12:30 What can we do better in Australia 22:48 Early Career Academic Fellowship Programme 24:42 Improving University Spin-Out Processes 32:07 Clinician-Led Innovation and Health Innovation Precincts 38:40 Engaging Clinicians in Health Innovation 43:38 Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinatitkova/ https://unswfounders.com/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be cons

    The TRUTH About How Insurance Really Works (and Why Most Investors Get It Wrong) | Ep. 49

    Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  ----- In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi Mian is joined by general insurance broker Lisa Hiscock, whose global career spans reinsurance and complex risk underwriting with companies like Lloyd’s of London and AXA. Together, they unpack one of the most overlooked parts of wealth building, how to protect what you’ve already built. Lisa explains what insurance really is, not just a policy, but a promise to restore you when things go wrong. From how premiums are priced to why reinsurance exists, she breaks down how insurers think about risk, and why climate change, floods, and bushfires are reshaping what’s even insurable. You’ll also hear how underinsurance happens, the traps investors fall into when they renovate or forget to update policies, and why liability cover matters more than most people realise. For doctors growing wealth outside of medicine, this conversation is your reminder that insurance isn’t a cost, it’s a strategy for risk management. Whether you own clinics, investment properties, or commercial assets, understanding how to structure the right protection can mean the difference between recovering and starting over when disaster strikes. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Intro/Hook 02:11 Lisa Hiscock's Background and Career in Insurance 03:55 Lloyd's of London/Understanding Insurance and Reinsurance 05:40 General Insurance Brokerage and Its Scope 07:46 How Insurance works 16:39 Property Insurance and Its Components 18:28 Owner-occupier Insurance 26:27 Landlord Insurance and Strata Responsibilities 30:29 Aggregation of Insurance Risks and Government Involvement 40:36 Technological Advancements in Risk Assessment 44:07 Services Provided by Insurance Brokers 46:17 Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-hiscock-7308a259/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

    Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  ----- In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi Mian sits down with venture capitalist Samar Mcheileh, Managing Partner at Scale Investors, to explore one of the biggest blind spots in the investing world, why venture capital is missing half the market. Samar reveals how female-led startups receive less than 4% of global funding despite consistently outperforming, and why this gap represents a $10 trillion opportunity hiding in plain sight. She explains how Scale’s new fund is backing women founders in healthcare, disability, climate, and the care economy, turning lived experience into high-impact, high-return innovation. For doctors, this episode opens a new lens on investing. It’s about using your capital to fund the very problems you see on the frontlines, diversifying beyond property or shares, and supporting ideas that create both financial and social returns. If you’ve ever wondered how venture capital really works, or how doctors can take part in the next wave of innovation, this conversation will expand your definition of what smart investing looks like. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Hook/Intro 02:09 Introduction to Samara Mcheileh and Female-Focused Fund 02:48 Samar's Journey as Medical Angel 06:27 What does investing mean for Samar 10:10 Journey into Venture Capital and Gender Dynamics 16:56 Economic Opportunity and Market Inefficiencies 28:02 Fund Structure and Investor Support 36:22 Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://www.linkedin.com/in/samarmcheileh/ https://scaleinvestors.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/scaleinvestors/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

It’s about reputation, trust, and the opportunities you might not even realise you’re missing. Kan explains why your online presence now matters as much as your clinical one, and how simple steps like using LinkedIn as your virtual CV or making sure your Google profile is accurate can go a long way in building trust at scale. He also introduces a simple framework for understanding how people come to know, like, and trust you.

Together with Dr Bi, she unpacks how doctors are moving from simply working in the health system to actually shaping its future, by investing in the innovations they wish already existed in their own clinics. Drawing on her journey from general practice to startup investing, Amandeep reveals why clinicians are uniquely positioned to spot opportunities in healthcare that traditional VCs often miss.

If you’ve ever thought about backing the future of healthcare, this conversation is your blueprint. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 01:49 – What is Medical Angels and how it started 03:03 – The origin story: how Dr Bi and Dr Amandeep teamed up 14:04 – Investing in healthcare startups and finding the right founders 21:05 – The future of healthcare innovation: AI, genomics, and beyond 23:57 – Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amandeep-h-b2092623/ https://medangels.com.au/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

    Non-Clinical Career Options for Doctors Who Want a Change | Ep. 45

    Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  ----- In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Amandeep Hansra, GP, startup founder, digital health leader, and co-creator of Creative Careers in Medicine, to explore what happens when doctors stop asking, “How do I stay in medicine?” and start asking, “Where else can I make a difference?” Drawing on her journey from clinical practice to leading roles in telehealth, startups, and policy, Amandeep unpacks why leaving the hospital system isn’t failure, it can be the start of your most meaningful work. She explains how doctors can repurpose their medical expertise across digital health, entrepreneurship, consulting, and policy, and why the real investment is in yourself, not just the next job title. We also discuss the bigger picture: the silent wave of doctors exploring non-clinical paths, the guilt and shame that often hold them back, and how reframing career “setbacks” as opportunities can unlock new clarity. Whether you’re burnt out, curious about startups, or simply want to rediscover purpose in your work, this conversation will open doors you didn’t know existed. If you’ve ever wondered whether your medical degree can take you beyond the ward, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 01:31 – Meet Dr. Amandeep Hansra 04:30 – Redefining What It Means to Be a Doctor 08:23 – The System Is Worse & Doctors Are Suffering 14:48 – “Wasting” Your Medical Degree? 18:50 – The Weight of Being a Decision Maker 21:21 – Doing Work You Actually Love 29:12 – Bottlenecks in Medicine 31:04 – Investing in Yourself 33:22 – Doctor Anxiety & Performance Pressure 38:06 – Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amandeep-h-b2092623/ https://medangels.com.au/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

    NSW Doctors Are Leaving: The Pay Crisis Breaking Our Health System | Ep. 44

    Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  ----- In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Nicholas Spooner, Emergency Physician and President of ASMOF NSW, to unpack the growing crisis in New South Wales healthcare. Having spent his entire career in the public system, Nick brings a unique perspective on how outdated awards, stalled enterprise bargaining, and pay disparities are driving doctors out of NSW hospitals. Nick explains why junior doctors here earn up to 30% less than their interstate colleagues, how staff specialists are locked into contracts that don’t reflect modern models of care, and why many are turning to locum or VMO work instead. He also reveals the hidden costs of these shifts, from collapsing teaching and training structures to growing risks for patient safety. We also explore the broader stakes: unsafe staffing levels, rising burnout, and why psychiatry has been the first specialty to walk away in protest. If you want to understand what’s really happening inside NSW Health, and what it means for your career, your training, and your patients, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Hook / Intro 03:48 Dr Nick Spooner’s Journey & Role at ASMOF NSW 08:12 Impact of Outdated Award System on Junior Doctors 18:40 Pay Disparity & Challenges Attracting Doctors 30:40 Challenges in the Public Health System 31:08 Industrial Action & Mutual Gains Bargaining 39:49 Staff Specialists vs VMOs 45:28 Industrial Action & Workforce Deficit 59:41 Psychiatry Crisis & Government Response 1:07:11 Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/  https://doctorbi.com.au/  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi https://au.linkedin.com/in/nicholasspooner https://www.asmof.org.au/ -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

    How to Turn Your $2.50 Into Years of Education (and Save Lives) | Ep. 43

    In this episode, we’re back with Cassandra Treadwell, founder and CEO of So They Can, diving deeper into how health, human rights, and education intersect in some of the world’s poorest communities. Cass shares the remarkable story of how $2.50 can unlock years of government funding for a child’s schooling and why investing in girls’ education delivers the highest return of any global initiative. We also explore how So They Can tackles maternal health, child marriage, and female genital cutting with scalable, community-led solutions. This episode shows how charity becomes true impact when paired with data, accountability, and an exit strategy. If you’ve ever wondered how small, smart investments can break cycles of poverty and create intergenerational change, you’ll leave this conversation with both hope and a new framework for giving.
