Leif (better known as Physician on Fire), is a genuinely down to earth person, the type that gives Minnesotans their well-deserved reputation. Mostly aw shucks wholesome Fargo, with just enough mischief to remind you his state also gave the world the artist formerly known as Prince. I met PoF for the first time at FinCon, and saw him answer the …
Fin. Con. 18
Fin. In Spanish it means the end. Con. In Spanish it means together. Many finer writers have gone into comprehensive reviews over the fellow bloggers they met, the internet famous superheroes they ogled and adored, and the lessons learned for their digital businesses. I’m going eschew the comprehensive approach. Here, then, are a few hyper-specific FinCon moments that captured the …
Packing List For FinCon18
I may not sting like a bee, but I pride myself on my ability to float like a butterfly. That has less to do with my verbal adroitness or boxing skills than my ability to travel carry on and the pleasure out of proportion I take in packing light. FinCon18 will be my first finance blogger convention (I feel like …
I Used The Wu Tang Name Generator On Physician Finance Bloggers. Here’s What Happened.
I graduated high school in the early 90s. Depending on your yardstick, I was too mathlete, too drama, too raised by parents who listened to Julio Iglesias, or too many other things to truly be immersed in the Wu Tang Clan during their heyday. The Tang of my childhood was associated with astronauts, not music. Despite the odds, a couple …
Look Ma, I Have A Guest Post On Freedom Is Groovy!
I believe it was the ancient Greek philosopher Whodini who famously posited: Friends – how many of us have them? My greatest return on investment to date as a finance blogger has been developing friendships within the finance freaks-and-geeks diaspora. When two or more consenting adult bloggers like each other very much, the big famous household name blogger offers to …
What’s In The Sauce?
After being a long-time fan of their eponymous blog, Freedom Is Groovy, I was caught off guard when Mrs. Groovy reached out with an offer for me to write a guest post on a topic of my choosing. The offer appeared out of thin air and for no particular reason, which experience has taught me is how some of the …
Announcing PhysCon18 at FinCon18!
There are now more physician finance bloggers than states in the union, and they’ve created a wonderful community. I’ve enjoyed the encouragement and camaraderie of other docs in finance that my wife has teasingly termed my “invisible friends.” FinCon18 (like Band Camp but for blogging finance geeks) will offer those of us in attendance the rare opportunity to meet in …

Physician Finance Bloggers: 50 Of Them
[Note: I keep an updated list of Physician Finance Bloggers here, but this is the original post that helped me find everyone else!] The FIRE has spread! Physician finance blogs began as a niche with a single dominant early presence (the White Coat Investor). Those days are long gone. Here are the docs in finance I follow: A Good Life …
Gateway Drugs and Gateway Blogs
Back in the 80s of my youth, I owned one black tie and it was razor thin. Frankie was constantly insisting I relax, and Time magazine was the major determinant of what a given week’s father-son chat would be about. When Time Magazine ran a cover story on Herpes as the new “Scarlet Letter” of the decade, I could spot …
