Episode 56 - Moral Imperative of Physician Investing - Dr. George Ozoude
In this episode, host Robby Butler interviewed Dr. George Ozoude, an orthopedic surgeon and founding partner of Time Health Capital. Dr. Ozoude started his career in Houston, Texas, working within the state-run academic community practice program. Although initially pleased with his career, he became disillusioned with the corporate medical model he observed, which he felt detracted from the quality of patient care and physician autonomy. Motivated to make a difference, Dr. Ozoude began exploring finance and started investing to build a passive income to regain personal and career autonomy. Dr. Ozoude's ultimate goal is to enable more physicians to become more satisfied and autonomous in their careers by creating financial independence. His vision for the future includes an army of financially secure physicians providing great patient care and positively impacting the healthcare landscape. In terms of figures, he aims to raise $5 million this year, up from $500k raised last year and hopes for upwards of a billion dollars in investment in the distant future. Dr. Ozoude insists the work is a legacy for his family, which has deep roots in the medical profession. Who’s The Guest? Meet Dr. George Ozoude, orthopedic surgeon and investor in 25 limited partnership opportunities across asset classes. Dr. Ozoude is different, however. He knew it was his purpose to transform healthcare: from the strictures of the corporate medical model to freeing physicians to serve their patients and feel the satisfaction of their positive impact. Dr. Ozoude gives you his portfolio theory, his approach to passive and active income, and the immense personal growth that occurs from working on your purpose. Highlights The principle of American freedom and how it affects their professional practice.

Episode 42 - The Prospect of “Nationwide Rent Control”

Episode 42 - The Prospect of “Nationwide Rent Control”
In a January 2023 edition of the Wall Street Journal, an opinion piece commented on a letter the current President received from 50 lawmakers attempting to prevent “price-gouging” in the rental real estate markets. Robby and special guest Emma Herman discuss the economics of this particularly thorny policy called “rent control”. Highlights Rent control and its effects on landlords and tenants Rent control is a price ceiling on the amount landlords can charge for rent, which can reduce the supply of rental properties The reasons why people want to be landlords In San Francisco, a study found that rent control benefits current tenants in the short run, but can freeze the rental market in time, leading to inefficiencies and lack of supply Landlords may be disincentivized to improve rental properties under rent control policies Removal of rent control in Cambridge was found to decrease crime, but it can be difficult to remove rent control policies once they are imposed Landlords are often left out of the conversation around rent control policies It is important for those who oppose rent control to get involved and make their voices heard A shadow market is a black market where people find ways around the price ceiling imposed by rent control policies People in Stockholm have to wait years for apartments, and some end up negotiating contracts with people ahead of them on the waiting list or paying exorbitant sublease fees Rent control policies can have unintended consequences that actually benefit those who were not intended to benefit from the policy Sometimes it is better to keep the hand of government off the marketplace and let the invisible hand of the market dictate price movements Episode Resources Connect with Kim Butler and Robby Butler Connect with Emma Herman Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.
