I recently had an enlightening conversation on my podcast, The Deal Scout, with a guest who's a doctor turned technologist in blockchain and real estate. His journey from medicine to entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspiring, and I believe it's a story worth sharing.

The Happiness Equation: Dr. Smolarz shared how diversifying his income streams and venturing into the business world has brought him more happiness than his previous life as a doctor. It's a testament to the fact that it's never too late to explore new horizons.
Breaking the Myth: Doctors and specialists often lack financial literacy due to their dedication to their profession. My guest challenged this notion, proving that it's possible to balance both medicine and business.
Wake-Up Call: Experiencing two category five hurricanes was a turning point for my guest. It led him to reflect on the importance of finding one's purpose in life and pursuing personal goals.
The Power of Mentorship: Dr Smolarz emphasized the importance of seeking out the best mentors and investing in oneself. He believes that finding the best in the world at something involves research, talking to people, and finding a mentor with years of experience in the desired field.
The Journey to E-commerce, Self-Storage, and Blockchain: My guest shared his journey into these fields and how he transitioned from learning about financial markets to evaluating public businesses. He also discussed his interest in self-storage and how it became his hedge in life.
Building a Storage Fund: Dr Smolarz is currently focused on building a storage fund and helping people achieve their financial goals. He compares his role to that of a doctor, responsible for guiding and ensuring the well-being of his clients.
Connect with the Guest: If you're interested in learning more about his project, you can connect with him through Store Partners. They have a lot of insightful discussions about the topics we covered in the podcast.
The Most Important Milestone: When asked about the most important milestone he hopes to achieve in his life, Dr Smolarz responded that it would be seeing his children chase their dreams and overcome challenges on their own.

I hope you find these insights as inspiring as I did!
