So relieved at the announcement that you let Disha Spath go
I loved the WCI podcast - listened to every single one - until Disha Spath joined the podcast team. She has been so PAINFUL to listen to, and I simply had to turn off the podcasts that she hosted (esp the Milestones to Mill ones that she started doing most of). I wholeheartedly agree with your decision to get her off the podcast, and I agree with what she even publicly posted as to the reasons - the nervous giggle (esp when there was nothing funny being said) was, to be blunt, annoying to listen to. Too many ‘ums’ in her speaking, and probably the biggest reason- I actually think her financial knowledge is not particularly sophisticated. On podcasts she sounded so unsure of herself when giving an answer, then she’d frequently say, ‘What do you think, Jim?’ . Lest you think I am writing coming from a sexist position, I am in fact a high-earning female physician who has enjoyed the WCI podcast and looked for a certain level of sophistication in content. Sorry, Disha, I’m sure you’re a lovely person. I didn’t even complete the annual survey you sent out earlier this year, but if I had , that would have been the main piece of feedback I would have given. I’m also part of Hala Sabry’s women physicians group. Wow, Jim, Hala is really slandering you in her fb group which I think is so unprofessional. It had to do with the timing of the Disha announcement, then Hala wrote in her own post ‘I also went to his conference and have no complaints . AND he has proven many times to take advantage of women in business. This is just one and the first time I’m posting about it.’ I personally do not find Jim Dahle at all misogynistic which is why it really bothered me that Hala Sabry decided to create a post tying in the ‘wage gap, Disha’s departure, misogyny and centering men in conversations about money’ all into the same post. Anyhow, this probably is not the best forum to post all this but suffice it to say, keep on producing high-quality content!

Although I don’t understand the concept of huge student loan, Roth IRA or 401 as an Australian ER doc, I continue to listen to you as it gives valuable life and investment advice. I differed or cancelled buying 100k convertible after listening to you. Thank you

I enjoy listening to the WCI podcasts and am now teaching our residents about financial health.
