I had the honor of being interviewed by Dominic Zhai on his podcast, Why You No Doctor, which is out now at this link. I love the fact that the show notes already summarized the specific topics by the relevant time stamp. It saves me a lot of work in trying to do that myself for the blog.
For those of you who have heard me a lot on podcasts, what I also want to highlight from this podcast that is a departure from some of my other more finance-focused podcasts is the story of the host himself – it’s amazing. If you listen, you will hear his story which includes
– Parents who, like mine, grew up during the Cultural Revolution
– Being brought up by a single mother on welfare
– Witnessing extreme frugality
– Not passing his MCATs, thus having his dreams of becoming a doctor crushed
– Moving to Los Angeles with $1,000 to his name to pursue his dreams of being an actor
– Becoming a successful entrepreneur and getting named to Forbes 30 under 30
I thought it was even more insightful to hear bits and pieces of Dominic’s story come through, and our shared love of self education to improve our financial outcomes – if you want to get inspired, go hear his story.

Thanks Dom for everything and I had a great time!
