What actually separates investors who consistently build wealth from those who stay stuck earning a high income—but never achieve true financial freedom?

In this episode of The Medicine and Money Show, I sit down with multidisciplinary investor, attorney, and software engineer David Awad to break down the real principles behind value investing—and why mindset matters more than tactics.

We explore how physicians can transition from thinking like employees to thinking like capital allocators, and why that shift is the foundation for long-term wealth. David explains investing as more than numbers—it’s a reflection of how you see the world, where value is created, and how capital moves markets.

We also dive into the reality facing doctors today: declining purchasing power, limited pricing control, and the necessity of investing to offset those constraints. From inflation and market inefficiencies to identifying “wonderful businesses” with pricing power, this conversation gives a clear framework for building wealth outside of medicine.

Along the way, we connect value investing to broader themes—entrepreneurship, AI, and the intersection of code, capital, and law—showing how modern investors can position themselves ahead of major shifts in the economy.

At its core, this episode is about one thing: if you learn how to think like an investor, you can take control of your financial future—regardless of your profession.

Topics Covered:

• Value investing fundamentals (buying great businesses at the right price)
• The mindset shift from physician to investor
• Pricing power, inflation, and protecting purchasing power
• How markets actually work (and where inefficiencies exist)
• Entrepreneurship and solving real-world problems for profit
• Code, capital, and law in modern investing
• AI, automation, and the future of capital allocation

This episode is for physicians, investors, and high-income professionals who want to move beyond trading time for money—and start building scalable, lasting wealth.
