Cannot emphasize enough how much you should do this — genuinely don’t know what I would have done without Tyler’s help and advice
Graduating med students –
I’ve got a calendly link for 20 of you who’d like to schedule a 20 minute call with me.
We can talk debt, insurance, budgeting, whatever you need.
No cost or weird sideways sales pitch.
Just a 20 minute conversation to help you make some decisions.
DM if interested.
