Today on Physicians Hanging a Shingle, I’m joined by Dr. Latifat Akintade—gastroenterologist, founder of MoneyFitMD, and host of the MoneyFitMD podcast. Dr. Latifat has helped many physicians create healthier relationships with money, build wealth with intention, and step into financial confidence… and she brings that wisdom straight to us in this episode.

If you’re a physician preparing to open your own practice or already navigating early ownership, this conversation is packed with clarity, encouragement, and practical tools.

We cover:

• The essential money mindset shift every new practice owner should make
• Why fear-based financial decisions sabotage growth—and what to do instead
• The simple financial systems to put in place from day one
• How to keep your personal and business finances clean, separate, and healthy

Whether you’re months away from opening your doors or still in the dreaming stage, this episode will help you build a strong financial foundation for the practice you’re creating.
