A “saturated market” doesn’t mean you have to settle. And randomly applying on job boards usually isn’t the fastest path to a great offer.

In Episode 4, Kristin sits down with Brent Bargen from MyDermRecruiter to talk job search strategy, contract negotiation, and how clinicians can find better-fit roles (with better terms) in 2026.

Inside, you’ll hear

• What the 2026 hiring market looks like and why demand is still strong for clinicians
• How recruiters see jobs before they hit public job boards
• The “non-negotiables” list to make before you apply anywhere
• The compensation models that confuse clinicians most (and what to ask so you don’t get burned)
• Non-compete red flags, including the language that quietly expands the radius
• When it’s worth paying for contract review and what pricing typically looks like
• A smarter way to use LinkedIn so your network works for you

A job can look perfect on paper… then quietly wreck your schedule, your confidence, and your income.

In Episode 3, Kristin shares the contract traps that burn medical professionals—especially PAs, NPs, PharmDs, and physicians, when they sign too fast (or ask the wrong questions).

Inside, you’ll hear:

• The one conversation most clinicians skip before accepting an offer
• The hidden “scope + pay” mismatch that leads to boredom, burnout, or both
• The contract clauses that can box you in later (even outside of clinical work)
• What notice periods and non-competes really mean for your life
• How to use a job post as a red-flag detector before you commit

If you’re about to sign your first contract (or you’re switching roles) listen to this before you say yes.

Want a cash-flowing real estate strategy that actually makes sense for healthcare people?

In Episode 2, Kristin sits down with Dr. Alex Schloe to unpack Residential Assisted Living (RAL)—an investing model that blends senior care impact with real estate cash flow.

Inside, you’ll hear:

• What RAL actually is (and why it’s not the “big facility” most people imagine)
• The 4 ways to invest... starting from most passive to more hands-on
• The part of the deal that matters more than the property (and how people mess it up)
• What it can cost to start, plus creative paths like seller financing and SBA financing (when applicable)
• The biggest pitfalls: licensing, zoning, reserves, and operator risk

If you’re a PA, NP, PharmD, or physician looking for a cash-flowing investment strategy beyond traditional rentals—this episode gives you a clear framework for getting started.

Most medical professionals feel like they’re “doing everything right” with money—so why does it still feel like you’re behind?

In Episode 1, Kristin breaks down the three investing lies that keep medical professionals stuck—and how they quietly derail long-term wealth (even when you’re doing “all the right things”).

Inside, you’ll hear:

• The most common “I’m too busy” investing trap (and what it costs long-term)
• The retirement math most clinicians never run until it’s too late
• The student loan move that feels smart… but can be insanely expensive over time
• Why a real money plan needs income strategy + student loan strategy + investing strategy working together

If you want a real money plan, you need three pieces working together: an investing system, a student loan strategy, and an income strategy built around a life-centered goal (what you want your Tuesdays to look like in 5 years).
