As physicians, our ability to earn is our greatest asset—yet a single injury or illness can derail everything. In this episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming sits down with Jamie Fleischner, president and founder of Set for Life Insurance, a company that has guided over 30,000 physicians since 1993. Jamie shares her expertise on disability insurance, focusing on the unique benefits of Guaranteed Standard Issue (GSI) policies that skip medical underwriting and ensure coverage regardless of preexisting conditions.

From the importance of "own occupation" definitions to the pitfalls of relying solely on employer-provided plans, Jamie offers practical advice for physicians at all stages—whether you're a resident, a mid-career doctor, or transitioning to a new path like private practice or entrepreneurship. She also highlights common misconceptions, red flags to watch for when shopping for policies, and why timing is everything when securing coverage.

Tune in to learn how to protect your income, navigate career shifts, and ensure your financial future, no matter what life throws your way.
