400 - PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists

This episode also coincides with the show's seventh birthday, making it the perfect time to pause, reflect, and tackle a topic that quietly influences every podiatrist’s career yet is rarely discussed openly: money.

Why Talk About Money on a Podiatry Podcast?

Money can feel like an uncomfortable topic in healthcare. Many of us entered podiatry to help people, not to talk about finances, lending, or wealth creation. Yet financial stress is one of the most significant contributors to burnout, career dissatisfaction, and poor life balance.

That’s why I invited Andrew Jacobs onto the podcast. Andrew is an osteopath-turned-mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. He understands how health practitioners think because he is one. He’s also the author of two books, Healthy Money and Paid Off, both written specifically for health professionals who were never taught financial literacy at university.

This conversation isn’t about chasing flashy lifestyles or becoming obsessed with money. It’s about understanding how money works, so it stops working against you.

400- PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists with Andrew Jacobs


To celebrate this 400th episode, I’m joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners.

In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction.

Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle.

We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don’t know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time.

This conversation isn’t about chasing wealth. It’s about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.
