The White Coat Investor podcast, hosted by Dr. Dahle, stands out as a beacon of financial education for physicians, offering invaluable insights that has been as influential to my life as my actual medical education. With effortlessly delivered content and a lineup of knowledgeable guest speakers, the podcasts are not only informative but remarkably easy to listen to and enjoyable on my commute. Since turning in as a fellow in 2019, I’ve witnessed a remarkable growth in our net worth, surpassing $2 million in less than 5 years, a feat I attribute to the wisdom gleaned from WCI. Despite having delved into Dr. Dahle’s books, blog posts, and earlier podcasts, the newly released material continues to provide fresh prospectives and actionable advice, making it an indispensable resource for physicians navigating the world of personal finance.

I have learned a tremendous amount from this podcast, especially that early episodes that focused on fundamental topics for financial literacy. Recently podcasts have focused more on the “milestones to millionaire segment, which I have not found as helpful and have stopped listening to.

I am so grateful for all this podcast has taught me. I’ve been listening since I was in residency about 5 years ago and the impact WCI and Dr. Dahle have made on my personal and financial life has been profound. Thank you for all you have done for my family and I!

Wow - this was packed with Alexis reviewing several great tax strategies. Thank you!!

This podcast (and the corresponding Whitecoatinvestor book) has been easily the most influential podcast to my life and career of any I’ve heard. Strongly recommend for anyone who does not feel 100% comfortable with their finances

WCI should be required reading & listening in medical school and residency. I started listening around 2016 and have listened to every episode since and have learned so much. I am now retired from medicine and still enjoy listening/reading and learning from both the WCI podcast and blog. Jim, thanks for the great work and helping us docs get our finances on track!

Dr. Jim Dahle has been looking out for docs for well over a decade. He provides evidence-based and influence-free advice in order to help docs get their finances in line. Absolutely essential listen.

This podcast is an example of a motivated physician gaining substantial knowledge on a non-medical topic and sharing it with everyone. He is altruistic and thoroughly engaged in this material. I find when he lacks information on a topic he is not afraid to admit it and research it thoroughly to provide an accurate and actionable answer. His staff should be given significant credit for the success of this podcast as it clearly must take more effort than just one man can muster. A great combination for a podcast….knowledgable, altruistic host who surrounds himself with intelligent guests and a hard working staff. All….keep it up the great work!!

Becoming financially literate, and subsequently financially independent, is going to be very important if doctors are to ever take back control of medicine. Dr. Dahle is leading the charge with books, blog posts and a Podcast that are all very informative and entertaining. I wish I had come across his material earlier. His advice is honest, well-researched and practical. He may not ever brag about it, but I am certain he is making a major positive impact in the medical profession by helping doctors and other healthcare professionals become financially literate.

I commute each day and as of Nov 2023 I’ve listened to all 340 episodes and find myself wishing there were more. Every major financial topic has been covered with a wonderful diversity from stocks to retirement to insurance to real estate, and he has numerous informative guests. Add to that, very easy to listen to podcast voice and tone. All around my favorite podcast financial or otherwise.

Cannot recommend highly enough. This podcast provides accurate, relevant information in an accessible way. It has saved me thousands already, and will save me so much more throughout my investing life.

I can’t recommend the podcast and other WCI resources more highly. I am amazed at what I have learned from the podcast, blogs, and books. I have transformed from financially illiterate to actually identifying mistakes financial advisors were making with family. I owe a tremendous degree of my financial success to Dr Dahle and am very grateful for everything he has done. He truly is helping high income professionals achieve financial independence.

So grateful for Dr. Dahle and WCI. I went through most of residency making the wrong choices but luckily discovered his book and then podcast. Now my wife and I are student loan free and have a written financial plan. I recommend WCI to anyone that will listen!

Update 10/2023 I previously left a 5 star review, but want to update it. Wish there were 6 stars. Jim provides information that other financial podcasts don’t discuss. For example, in a recent episode he covered filing the IRS 5500 for solo 401(k)s. His blog had details that other blogs & newsletters missed. Had I not listened I could be facing a $100K IRS penalty. Highly recommend the podcast & WCI website. Original review: I’m not a MD, but Jim Dahle’s advice has been invaluable to me, my family & our employees. As a consultant & spouse of a small biz owner, I’ve learned not only about financial pitfalls & scams, but how to use the system to our & my wife’s employees benefit. The podcast, blogs & website resources provide clear, simple & specific information on a wide-range of topics. In an industry beset with scammers scheming to get your money, WCI provides you with evidence-based information, much of which has been field-tested by Jim.

Best personal finance podcast there is. Listening to this for 6 months is probably going to be worth millions over the course of my career. Thanks for making this outstanding podcast.

Jim in my opinion is a unique financial educator. Not only he provides very high quality financial advice but he combines that with something that is very hard -if not impossible- to find in the financial industry, the clarity of his COIs. Something that is very stressed on in the medical profession. This unique mix, not only builds trust in his material but actually makes his audience willing to make him make more money. If someone is providing you with a quality service and telling you that’s how you can pay me back, why not pay them very well back. He should be a theory to teach in the financial industry, no need to hide your fees or COIs or how you make money, put it out clear, provide a quality service and your clientele will be more than willing to make you richer.

Lord knows how many millions Dr Dahle and his team have saved physicians with his insight into finance. Personally, his advice helped my family get rid of a financial advisor who was charging high AUM fees and also develop a solid financial plan. I also started listening to other finance podcasts and found he’s well thought of in the investing community.

I’ve been a listener for several years and HIGHLY recommend the perspective of WCI! Advice that is timeless & will help you save / earn so much more money. I also just really enjoy listening & look forward to both episodes each week! I’m not a doc, work in tech and married to a high earning attorney. But I enjoy even the doctor specific info, I just like this podcast that much!

He seems to posses a theoretical or general knowledge about investing and finances. He seems to know certain terms about many different investment strategies. However, it’s painfully obvious the more he dives into some of these strategies that he has no legitimate financial or investment education, let alone the licenses to give advice. He reminds me of Dave Ramsey, who has some ok advice about a very limited aspect of personal finance, but who also has no professional investment licenses. Dave actually has a disclaimer at the end of his shows that says something like “this is intended for entertainment purposes only.” This guy should have the same disclaimer! The one thing we do agree on is that there are many incompetent and untrustworthy “advisors” out there who give advice they have no business giving…and this guy is one of them!

This is a down to earth, easy to understand podcast. The blog and the podcast both give extremely useful investment and life advise. Thank you for working so hard to bring this invaluable advise for free.

Great show for anyone wanting to take control of their finances. I’m a stay at home Dad. My wife is a surgeon. I’ve learned so much from this show. We dropped our adviser, and now have low cost broad based diversified index funds. My adviser never told us about tax loss harvesting, or the back door ROTH. I’ve learned how to employ these strategies and much more by listening to Jim’s podcasts. Thanks Jim!

I absolutely loved this episode! There were so many great takeaways. I really appreciated the discussion about mini-retirements and how Paula was so practical about the logistics involved. The part about money management and our relationship with it was especially powerful. And I'm definitely going to try out the "Prioritize and then outsource" strategy for my own online business! Thank you for sharing so many useful insights with the MD community.

Dr. Dahle has a very clear and understandable message and provides great information for physicians and those with a high income as well as medical students and residents and those who will soon have a high income! The new intro is much smoother and the podcast overall has improved with Dr. Dahle being the voice of the podcast. Prior attempt to add on a side kick really decreased the quality of the podcast and fortunately, WCI seems to have realized this and adjusted accordingly.

Saddened about the time and money I wasted. Optimistic about the knowledge I’m getting from the White Coat Investor

I discovered the White Coat Investor toward the fifth year of my training and although it’s been only four years since them, but it’s been a life-changing! This podcast informations should be given to any medical professional and high earners , as early as possible before they are in a big hole of debts . Now, I won’t miss any episode. Thank you for all of the great advices!

I loved the WCI podcast - listened to every single one - until Disha Spath joined the podcast team. She has been so PAINFUL to listen to, and I simply had to turn off the podcasts that she hosted (esp the Milestones to Mill ones that she started doing most of). I wholeheartedly agree with your decision to get her off the podcast, and I agree with what she even publicly posted as to the reasons - the nervous giggle (esp when there was nothing funny being said) was, to be blunt, annoying to listen to. Too many ‘ums’ in her speaking, and probably the biggest reason- I actually think her financial knowledge is not particularly sophisticated. On podcasts she sounded so unsure of herself when giving an answer, then she’d frequently say, ‘What do you think, Jim?’ . Lest you think I am writing coming from a sexist position, I am in fact a high-earning female physician who has enjoyed the WCI podcast and looked for a certain level of sophistication in content. Sorry, Disha, I’m sure you’re a lovely person. I didn’t even complete the annual survey you sent out earlier this year, but if I had , that would have been the main piece of feedback I would have given. I’m also part of Hala Sabry’s women physicians group. Wow, Jim, Hala is really slandering you in her fb group which I think is so unprofessional. It had to do with the timing of the Disha announcement, then Hala wrote in her own post ‘I also went to his conference and have no complaints . AND he has proven many times to take advantage of women in business. This is just one and the first time I’m posting about it.’ I personally do not find Jim Dahle at all misogynistic which is why it really bothered me that Hala Sabry decided to create a post tying in the ‘wage gap, Disha’s departure, misogyny and centering men in conversations about money’ all into the same post. Anyhow, this probably is not the best forum to post all this but suffice it to say, keep on producing high-quality content!

I’ve found this podcast difficult to listen to. Jim’s website was a great resource when I was in training but this podcast is a disaster. Jim’s manner of speaking challenging to listen to - I’ve tried to pinpoint what the issue is and I think it’s that he’s reading a script in a totally unnatural way. It’s odd and my ears don’t like it. Also they need to pre-screen the milestone to millionaire folks or can some of those episodes. Some those episodes are especially tough to listen to.

Jim provides sound advice and does a great job interviewing other people. Disha is awkward. I got not enjoy those episodes.

The new host is so annoying. She adds nothing new, only repeats what Jim has already said. She possesses limited financial knowledge. Of all the people that Jim could have partnered with or transitioned the podcast to he chose her. Hard to believe. Listening to her is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. And then, to make matters worse the latest guest that he brought on the show was a Marxist communist hippie trying to convince everyone that growing their own food and running their personal residence like a commune is the way to go. I hope that this is an aberration and this podcast gets back on track.

WCI is a great podcast, blog, books, and annual conference! These resources have been the cornerstone of the financial awakening not only in my household but also for a growing number of our friends. Pickleball at the annual conference is a real highlight! Hopefully we’ll have WCI pickleball t-shirts next year!

I recently started listening to The White Coat Investor Podcast and it quickly became my go-to source for financial advice. The host, Dr. Jim Dahle, is a real asset to the show. His expertise and insight are invaluable, and he delivers the information in an easy to understand format. The topics covered are so varied and relevant that I never get bored listening. From investing advice to personal finance, Dr. Dahle covers it all. He also interviews some amazing guests that bring even more value to the show. I would highly recommend The White Coat Investor Podcast to anyone looking for sound financial advice no matter where they are in their journey. Five stars!

Generally great info for a variety of people in different phases of life. However, one of the occasional co-hosts is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard, loud laughing, just silliness. I just delete those podcasts and don’t listen to them.

I recently graduated residency with a high burden of student loan debt and I find the Milestones to Millionaire episodes so inspiring. Beyond that, the White Coat Investor is my most trusted source for financial information (don’t tell my Dad). Thank you Jim and Disha!

Great topics and discussions for IR. However, a few times the language spoken is not clean. For instance, someone will say f… this or that during the episode. There are a lot of listeners out there, just keep the language clean guys, guests and hosts.

Taxes, insurance, investments, estate planning and more personal financial matters covered in depth than anywhere else, (and I have tried many). Host is gifted in his ability to communicate complex topics logically and clearly. You would pay thousands for similar quality advice that you get for free here…

Hark! A tale I bring to thee, of a podcast most fair, 'Tis called The WHITE Coat Investor, and its fame doth compare. With Dr Dahle as the host, a scholar of great note, He speaks of finance and life, with wisdom as his coat. He shows the path to wealth, with nary a care, And guides us to success, though life may bring despair. With his counsel and direction, we shall not stray, And our financial future, shall be bright as the day. He saves our lives, with each word that he utters, And teaches us how, our financial future to nurture. His lessons are priceless, beyond all measure, And his contributions to the white coat community, a treasure. So here's a review, with five stars aglow, For The WHITE Coat Investor, its praises I do show. With Dr Dahle's teachings and life-saving advice, 'Tis the best investment, in the realm of financial vice.

Jim and Ramit. Two of my very favorite podcasters and teachers. I smiled with joy when I saw this episode come up. You two are so smart, pragmatic and entertaining. Love you both!

I have been listening to this podcast since its inception. The more I listen, the more I learn and am inspired. I appreciate the diversity of invited guests and the positive messages and celebrations of those who are interviewed on Milestones to Millionaire. Dr. Dahle and his staff are providing an invaluable service. “Thank you for all you do.”

Super informative and helpful podcast. I just saw the link for Pearson Ravitz (one of the advertisers) on the website. I really thought he had been saying Pearson Rabbits

Fantastic program been listening for a year now! My wife is in her residency and seeing how hard she works I want to be able to take things off her plate so securing our financial plan has become my side job and I cannot say enough good things about this resource. Dr. Dahle has responded to my questions and I have reached out to the resources he has provided with good from all. Keep up the great work!

I have been listening to this podcast for years! I first came across Dr. Dahle on QuantiaMD when I was trying to get free Amazon Gift Cards as a resident. I have learned a lot from Dr. Dahle and the many guests that have come on the podcast. Thanks to WCI, I am comfortable in my financial skin!

If St Jack spread the word among long term investors, St Jim brings the message to Physicians. Seriously, this is one of the podcasts that have changed my perspective on life and medicine in so many ways. Answers to questions I should have been asking years ago as well as pure entertainment with questions like when can you buy a Ferrari! Jim is a saint when you consider he could be using the time to max his investment in so May ways he outlines but he is true to the mission he states in every podcast - To stop physicians doing dumb things with their money. Thank you for everything that you do for us.

His podcast is great for commutes but make sure you combine it with the fantastic WCI webpage. He’s got concise clear articles on nearly any question you have. This is one of the single best financial literacy sources I’ve found in years.

Dr. Dahle is truly serving the people who serve by sharing his knowledge regarding all things $$$. I’ve been listening to the podcast nonstop since I’ve discovered it a few months ago and cannot believe the amount of information I’ve not only learned but retained due to the accessible nature of the podcast. Thank you, Dr. Dahle!

Thank you for your recent episode featuring PAs. It is nice to hear how different professions are finding ways to succeed in money. I have benefited from your White Coat Investor content for many years, both on the website and your podcast.

I picked up Dr Dahle’s “The White Coat Investor” book in Med school and devoured it as my first real intro to anything to do with personal finance. It sparked a joy for the hobby of investing and personal finance still running strong now a couple years into practice. I’ve since read and Audibled several books and spent a good deal of time on his blog posts, reaching back to these routinely for every new financial task my family encounters. As a pediatrician, I find my colleagues tend to be even less financially interested than other groups of docs (what can I say, we didn’t go into it for the money!) so I have spent time teaching about personal finance and funneling more docs his way as a resident, chief resident and now with office partners. This podcast helps me get my ‘fix’ when I’m getting ready or driving to work in the morning and I credit it for keeping the spark of teaching alive - handing out White Coat investor books to students who come through our office. Anyways - thank you Dr Dahle!

White Coat Investor is the trusted leader in physician financial education. Not only have I found all things WCI to be helpful, our residents also get indoctrinated into the world of personal financial learning (though a surprising number are already well informed and much more than I ever was in training). Very highly recommended, it should be required listening/reading!

Jim has wealth of knowledge, and provides us with exceptional guidances with what I call no bias. Your podcast made huge impact on my financial life. It is needed for many high income professionals. I highly recommend it.

Dr. Dahle, your podcast is truly amazing! I am not an MD, but I listen to your podcast with great enjoyment. It is easy to follow and you cover so many different cases. I love that you have wonderful guests who share great advice. Financial literacy is so important and the earlier you start the better off you will be. Thank you!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast twice a week, a definite bright spot during my long commute. I have learned so much from these episodes. I started with the original white coat investor book and I am so grateful for the lessons learned by listening to this podcast as so many financial principles are reinforced every week, especially the Q&A where so many interesting scenarios are discussed. Thank you so much for what you have done and continue to do!
