💡 What if the most valuable return on your investments was not cash flow, appreciation, or IRR?

In today’s reflective solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe shares a powerful lesson from an anniversary trip through Rome, the South of France, Monaco, and the Mediterranean.

Surrounded by mega yachts, helicopters, Formula One, and extraordinary wealth, Alex found himself confronting a feeling nearly every ambitious physician and entrepreneur knows well: comparison. No matter how much you build, there will always be someone with a bigger portfolio, more doors, more income, and yes, a bigger yacht.

But the lesson was simple:

What matters is not the size of the yacht. It is who is on the yacht with you.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
✔️ Why comparison can quietly steal your joy, even when you have built something meaningful
✔️ Why there will always be someone with more wealth, more units, and more zeros
✔️ How physicians get trapped on the achievement treadmill long after training ends
✔️ What “return on time” means and why it may be the most important metric in your life
✔️ How real estate and entrepreneurship can create margin, flexibility, and choice
✔️ Why your “life number” may matter more than your financial freedom number
✔️ How to avoid letting the vehicle of wealth-building become the destination
✔️ Why intentionality—not portfolio size—determines whether you actually enjoy the life you are building

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
✅ There will always be a bigger yacht, so stop using someone else’s life as your benchmark
✅ A successful portfolio means very little if it costs you your marriage, family, faith, or presence
✅ Real estate should create more options—not simply become another treadmill
✅ Return on time means having the freedom to make the game, take the trip, enjoy dinner, and be present
✅ Build wealth intentionally, with the people you love still at the center of the journey

If you are a physician or high-income professional working toward financial freedom, this episode is a reminder to pause and ask a better question:

Are you building a life that the people closest to you actually want to be part of?

💡 What if your next real estate investment did more than create cash flow?

What if it helped your spouse build something meaningful, taught your kids real-world skills, and created more freedom for your entire family?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Julie Gates, licensed real estate broker, investor, founder of Sid Was Here Property Management, and leader of Team 912 in Savannah, Georgia.

Alongside her physician husband, Don, Julie has helped build a portfolio of more than 85 doors while creating a business around property management, furnished rentals, investor-focused brokerage, and smarter operations.

Their story started with physician burnout, a desire for more family time, and one patient encounter that changed how they thought about real estate forever.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
✔️ How Julie and Don started by buying their own medical practice locations
✔️ How to get a spouse more involved in the real estate journey
✔️ Why a property manager may be the right first step for new investors
✔️ How Julie grew from long-term rentals into short- and medium-term rentals
✔️ Why every property should have multiple exit strategies
✔️ How to think about location, demand drivers, and value-add opportunities
✔️ Why buying a property only for tax benefits can be a costly mistake
✔️ How real estate can strengthen a marriage and create a family legacy

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
✅ Building wealth as a physician family does not have to be a solo journey
✅ Your spouse does not need to become a full-time property manager to contribute
✅ Start small, learn through action, and let confidence compound
✅ The best real estate strategy is one that fits your family’s strengths and goals
✅ Real estate can create more than income — it can create options, skills, stories, and time together

If you’ve ever wondered how to get your spouse more excited about investing, or how to build wealth outside of medicine without sacrificing your family in the process…
