400 - PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists with Andrew Jacobs

To celebrate this 400th episode, I'm joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners. In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction. Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle. We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don't know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about chasing wealth. It's about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.
