Gas and food prices are through the roof (among other consumables). But there might be a small silver lining in this if you have some extra cash lying around. Treasury I Bonds (issued by the U.S. Treasury) have been very enticing lately. This is not just because they’re considered safe, but also because the interest rate is tied to the government’s measure of inflation. TLDR: The higher inflation goes, the higher the interest rates on I Bonds. Dr. Leif Dahleen, also known as Physician on Fire, is on the show to discuss the basics of I Bonds. Things to expect in this episode:What are US Treasury I BondsHow are US Treasury I Bonds calculatedThe Pros & Cons of using Treasury I BondsWhy does Physician on Fire recommend Treasury I BondsWho should be purchasing these bondsPhysician on Fire’s Step by Step Guide on Treasury I Bonds: How, When, and Why To Buy I BondsWE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!Now that Renee and I are 10 years deep graduating from residency, we feel there’s a lot of life experience that we can share. When looking back, the three themes of the show (money, mindset, and mission) have shown up in various life experiences.    In this episode, we’ll be introducing a new series called “11 money traps that burn-out doctors can overcome.” In some form, Renee and I have experienced these money traps and have found solutions to gain back control. The expectation is that you can learn from our experiences “growing up” and “adulting” while becoming doctors. We’re talking WITH you and not AT you and looking forward to you joining us on this journey.  WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE! https://www.youtube.com/drniidarko   JOIN MY COMMUNITY Text PODCAST to 833-230-2860   Twitter: @drniidarko Instagram: @drniidarko Email: [email protected]   Podcasting Course: www.docswhopodcast.com Merch: https://docs-outside-the-box.creator-spring.com

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!You can fight it as much as you like, but doctor reviews are important! Look at it this way, if you can rate & review the local cafe, why shouldn’t the person you’re about to operate on have the ability to leave reviews also?! I’ll save that debate for another day!For private practitioners, doctor reviews are normal. For the hospital-employed doctors, medical residents, and young attendings - doctor reviews play an important role in what bonuses you may get. Next time you look at your contract, there might be a provision where a portion of your salary will depend on how many positive reviews and satisfaction scores you get.Catch my drift now?Now that we have established the importance of patient satisfaction - how do you encourage your patients to leave positive reviews? This is where my next guest steps in.Avalon Hartman comes to talk about EmpathIQ -  software that makes it easy for your patients to leave a positive review on your behalf. It works with Google and other major patient review platforms.Your patient about to be discharged from the hospital and is singing your praises? Boom!! Hit them up with a specially made QR code where they can leave a review on their phone. All before they get discharged! It’s that quick gals & guys!!We also talk about:What is reputation management for doctorsWhat is a Google MyBusiness PageWhat to do when a patient leaves a bad reviewWhat a negative doctor review could mean to your finances BONUS: For everyone who wants to use EmpathIQ - when you call and mention Docs Outside the Box….you’ll get the 1st 2 Months FREE!!!! Resources:Empathiq.ioAvalon Hartman: [email protected] WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE!https://www.youtube.com/drniidarko JOIN MY COMMUNITYText PODCAST to 833-230-2860 Twitter: @drniidarkoInstagram: @drniidarkoEmail: [email protected] Podcasting Course: www.docswhopodcast.comMerch: https://docs-outside-the-box.creat
