Med school taught you medicine - not how to crush 6-figure debt, navigate tough conversations, or build the career you actually want.

We're 1st-gen Ghanaian and Haitian Doctors who figured it out without a blueprint, paid off $662K in student loan debt in 3 years, and now we're teaching you the real moves that work.
