Episode #428: Dentist Freedom Blueprint Podcast
The Dentist’s Financial “Plan B” – Navigating to Freedom Decades Ahead of Retirement (Part 1) – Dustin Burleson
I recently had an incredible conversation with Dustin Burleson, a thought leader, coach, mentor, and colleague in the orthodontics space for over 12 years. Today, you will hear our discussion about what led to me starting Freedom Founders, how important it is to take on investing and wealth-building yourself, and more.
Listen in to hear about some of the problems and drawbacks of the popular 401(k) model, as well as how wealth-building and investing are not as hard as some people may have you think. You’ll learn how to orchestrate it more yourself and how to get into the high-net-worth mindset. (And this is just the first part of our info-packed conversation, so be sure to stay tuned for part 2 next week!)

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
