   The ski trip injury Ep 49: That forced Dr. Jeff Anzalone rethink retirement

   ☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Jeff Anzalone Jeff is a periodontist in Louisiana and the founder of Debt Free Doctor. Work became optional for him in his early 50s. The wake-up About 12 years ago, on a family ski trip, he hurt his wrist. He was debt-free, but every dollar still came from his hands. If he could not practice, the bills still had to get paid. That was the end of the “work, 401k, wait until your 60s” plan. What he built He started looking at how wealthy people actually held money. Real estate. Multiple streams. Tax advantages that mean you do not need as much cash as you think. He tried self-storage, Airbnbs, apartments, RV parks. Then networking introduced him to a partner who already owned five or six mobile home parks. They bought five together, compared the cash flow and depreciation, and it was not close. Today they own 18 parks in Louisiana through Perdido Capital. Along the way he blogged and made YouTube videos about the wins and the losses. Advice Sit down with your spouse and get clear on the why. Assume you will lose some money. Then find the person who already has what you want and get them to mentor you, work for free, pay them, or both. Three months with the right person beats three years alone. And nobody is going to care more about your money than you do.

   Why Career In Medicine Burns Out Women Ep 48: Dr. Shona Velamakanni's Mission On What Actually Helps

   ☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Shona Velamakanni Dr. Shona Velamakanni is a noninvasive cardiologist in Naples, Florida, medical director of echocardiography at the NCH Rooney Heart Institute, and the founder of the NCH Women’s Physician Society. Why the society exists Training at Georgetown / Washington Hospital Center was a unicorn - about half the cardiology fellows were women, and she had “big sisters” ahead of her, including one who had triplets in fellowship. That gave her courage to have her first child before she finished. In Naples she was the only female specialist hired by the hospital at the time. The Women’s Physician Society started with hospital support. About seven years later they just handed the chairs to the next group. The hard part Burnout numbers are still near national. Gains are local: more women retained, more women in leadership, residents who stay because of the mentorship. Advice Get institutional support if you can. Structure matters. The tools that get you through residency can hurt you as an attending. Medicine is a marathon. You need balance, family, hobbies, and an off-ramp. Books Untamed - Glennon Doyle. The Let Them Theory - Mel Robbins. Timelines 00:26 – Welcome + Dunkin’ hazelnut ☕ 02:53 – Who she is + firstborn daughters + Naples 05:22 – Georgetown unicorn program + triplets in fellowship 06:30 – Only female specialist in Naples → Women’s Physician Society 07:31 – No women in leadership + going to admin 09:41 – Burnout data + more women staying 11:57 – Unpaid work, RVUs, medicine as art 14:25 – Colleague takes a year off and returns 17:34 – How to start: ACC model, medical staff list, chairs 20:50 – Events, seasonal volume, referrals 24:39 – Advice: get support, structure, see it through 26:45 – Book recommendations + marathon tools More from Dr. Shona Velamakanni Noninvasive cardiologist, NCH Rooney Heart Institute, Naples, FL Founder, NCH Women’s Physician Society Mentorship, advocacy, and local opportunities for women in medicine 🔗 WATCH + LISTEN 🎥🎧 Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3wwNu6TfWwbJrDdH0pjD53?si=hMjAu1pSSOmsCpvu2fJUZw) 🎧 Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-playdate-podcast-with-dr-olga-deengar/id1849554449) , Amazon Music (https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/125ed952-819b-4316-aace-8436b55738e4/coffee-playdate-podcast-with-dr-olga-deengar) , iHeartRadio (https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-coffee-playdate-podcast-w-303975071/) 🎥 YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLicocOhCVhvyoSIRMLky2Sy2UnTIDu65I) 🎥 Instagram @coacholgamd (https://www.instagram.com/coacholgamd/) 💬 Subscribe & share with a woman physician who still thinks the only option is to keep the 7 a.m. meeting.

   Problems Are Puzzles Ep 47: Emily Floyd on Pediatric Billing

   ☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Emily Floyd Emily is founder and CEO of Altus Pediatric Billing. Yale MBA. Corporate ladder. Then a job that was personal: her mother is an independent pediatrician who started the practice when Emily was in high school. Twelve years and hundreds of pediatricians later, she is still in it. Why the work matters Pediatrics is often overlooked and underpaid. Independent practices stay open only if the revenue actually comes in. Altus is not “bill the visit, get paid.” It is: what are your goals, a second location, another provider, and what do we do with the money you were already owed? Mindset Problems are puzzles, not crises. What do we have? What do we need? Make a plan. Growing to a team of about 40 forced the founder-to-CEO shift. She cannot touch every denial anymore. The insurance fight Denials are not uniform, and you cannot take them at face value. Phones do not get answered. Holds run two or three hours. The team stays curious, builds the argument, and appeals. Every person knows they are fighting for kids, not just a code. Advice Don’t wait to be ready. Done beats perfect. Free resource Pediatrician’s Guide to Getting Paid — they mail it free if you ask. Timelines 00:26 – Welcome + black coffee or cream ☕ 01:08 – Rapid Fire (claims, revenue, culture) 02:21 – Take a Sip (three matches) 03:26 – Who Emily is + Mom’s practice 05:02 – What excites her: goals, not just visits 06:31 – Problems are puzzles 07:41 – Founder to CEO, team of 40 08:59 – EOS, processes, leaders 10:26 – Insurance denials, holds, appeals 13:17 – Remote wins and shout-outs 14:17 – Dallas leadership retreat 16:09 – Don’t wait to be ready 17:15 – 10x Is Easier Than 2x 18:30 – Site, email, free book More from Emily Floyd CEO of Altus Pediatric Billing → https://altuspediatricbilling.com/ (https://altuspediatricbilling.com/) Email → emily@altuspediatricbilling.com (mailto:emily@altuspediatricbilling.com) Free book → Pediatrician’s Guide to Getting Paid 🔗 WATCH + LISTEN 🎥🎧 Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3wwNu6TfWwbJrDdH0pjD53?si=hMjAu1pSSOmsCpvu2fJUZw) 🎧 Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-playdate-podcast-with-dr-olga-deengar/id1849554449) , Amazon Music (https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/125ed952-819b-4316-aace-8436b55738e4/coffee-playdate-podcast-with-dr-olga-deengar) , iHeartRadio (https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-coffee-playdate-podcast-w-303975071/) 🎥 YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLicocOhCVhvyoSIRMLky2Sy2UnTIDu65I) 🎥 Instagram @coacholgamd (https://www.instagram.com/coacholgamd/) 💬 Subscribe & share with a pediatrician who is still doing billing at 10 p.m. Independence is a billing problem as much as a clinical one ✨ — Dr. Olga Deengar, Coach Olga MD © 2026 Coach Olga MD.
