Getting Genetic Technology Into The Clinic with Krishnan Chittur
What if doctors could find out what is causing an infection in just one hour instead of waiting three days?

He shares how he learned to write a business plan, find investors, build a strong team, and turn complex science into a product that doctors can use.

High Rates, Big Tax Losses, and Two Tucson Deals with Tim Fergestad
Rates are up, building has slowed, and Tim Fergestad thinks that makes right now a great time to buy. Tim breaks down what high rates mean for renters, owners and apartment investors. In Phoenix, renting one of his build to rent townhomes costs about $1,000 a month less than owning a similar home, and that gap keeps rental demand strong. He shares a calm month in the portfolio, with ice storm repairs in Nashville and a 15% jump in net operating income at a Tucson property. Then he explains depreciation in plain words: cost segregation, bonus depreciation, and how a $100,000 investment can produce $60,000 to $120,000 in paper losses depending on the deal. Tim also compares two Tucson apartment deals from the same operator, one built for upside and one built for a steady capped return. He ends with marching band season and why he started writing about family legacy. Key topics: Why high rates help landlords and renters choose to rent The 10 year treasury, new construction, and why existing apartments are gaining value Ice storm repairs in Nashville and a 15% NOI jump in Tucson Aerospace salvage and why Tim likes physical assets Depreciation, cost segregation and bonus depreciation Icon on Broadway vs Icon on Pima: upside vs a capped preferred return Marching band logistics and the family legacy workbook About Tim: Tim Fergestad is the founder of Oak Street Assets and host of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast.

Creating a Thriving Wellness Practice with Dr. Yousef Mohammadi
In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Dr. Yousef Mohammadi, a board-certified family medicine physician and founder of Thrive Wellness MD. Dr. Mohammadi shares his approach to helping people take a more active role in their health. His work brings together evidence-based medicine, nutrition, lifestyle changes, integrative care, and a focus on the whole person. The conversation explores some of the foundations Dr. Mohammadi believes can make a major difference in long-term health. He discusses what he calls the “big five”: hydration, nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress reduction. He also explains why tracking health data can help people better understand their habits and make meaningful changes. Tim and Dr. Mohammadi also discuss preventive health, cardiovascular and metabolic health, gut health, exercise, environmental exposures, and the growing interest in helping people improve not only how long they live, but how well they live. The conversation then turns to Dr. Mohammadi’s entrepreneurial journey. After years of medical training and working within established healthcare systems, he launched Thrive Wellness MD. He shares some of the challenges of starting a medical practice from the ground up, including keeping expenses low, creating more autonomy, and learning the business side of medicine. Dr. Mohammadi also talks about two lessons that have helped him as an entrepreneur: finding good mentors and learning how to delegate. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, he believes there is great value in learning from people who are already a few steps ahead. For Dr. Mohammadi, building a successful practice is about more than business growth. It is about creating a model that allows him to spend meaningful time with patients while continuing to learn, grow, and maintain balance in his own life.

The Late-Start Investor’s Guide to Building Wealth with Dr. Daniel Shin
The Late-Start Investor’s Guide to Building Wealth with Dr. Daniel Shin What happens when you spend years building a successful career, only to realize that a high income does not automatically give you financial freedom? In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Dr. Daniel Shin, a urologic surgeon, real estate investor, founder of Cereus Real Estate, and creator of The Darwinian Doctor. Daniel shares how years of medical training and a demanding career left him earning well but feeling short on something just as valuable: time and control. Like many physicians and other highly trained professionals, Daniel started investing later than many of his peers. That realization pushed him to become more intentional about building wealth and creating options outside of his medical career. He began with turnkey single-family rentals before building an active real estate portfolio of roughly 30 units. But even with property managers, Daniel discovered that owning real estate could become another job. A major sewer problem at an eight-unit property became one memorable example of just how demanding supposedly passive investments can become. That experience helped change his approach. Daniel began moving toward passive real estate investments and relying on experienced teams rather than trying to handle everything himself. He eventually founded Cereus Real Estate and reduced his medical practice to part-time. Tim and Daniel also discuss an important distinction for people interested in real estate: being aggressive about building wealth does not mean taking reckless risks. Daniel explains why he believes investors should first have a solid financial foundation. Real estate can involve large investments, leverage, and real risk. He believes money invested in private deals should be capital an investor can afford to put at risk. The conversation also explores why passive income can be especially meaningful for physicians and other busy professionals. For Daniel, investment income is not simply about increasing net worth. Cash flow can potentially replace days that would otherwise need to be spent earning active income. That can mean more time with family, more flexibility, and greater control over how you spend your life. Daniel also shares why delegation became one of the most important skills he learned. Whether building a business or investing through other operators, he believes growth requires finding capable people and learning how to evaluate who deserves your trust. For professionals who have built successful careers but haven't been as intentional about building wealth, Daniel suggests starting with a simple question: What do you actually want your money to help you accomplish? From there, the next step is education.
