ER Doc Advisor - Financial Planning & Taxes for Emergency Physicians

EP 205: Life in the ER: Dr. Brian Laakaniemi on Simplicity and Seizing the Moment

We’re excited to feature our first client on the Money Talk for ER Docs podcast! We’ve planned to do this for some time now and couldn’t be more thrilled to have Dr. Brian Laakaniemi as a guest as he discusses his path to EM as well as his finances.

We love the idea of continuing to host existing clients on the podcast and we hope you, as a listener, not only enjoy hearing the perspective of a fellow emergency medicine practitioner, but also find value in their experience and insights. For legal purposes, we are required to disclose that Brian’s experience as a client may not be reflective of the experience of all clients and he did not receive any compensation for speaking with Scott. Hope you enjoy!
