Doctors Building Wealth
Doctors Building Wealth is for physicians drowning in student debt and working endless hours, wondering if your medical career will ever bring true freedom. Despite your six-figure income, the path from successful doctor to financially independent professional feels impossibly complex.
We get it—balancing patient care and financial planning is overwhelming when no one taught you how to invest during medical school. Lucky for you, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Meet Drs. Letizia Alto and Kenji Asakura, physicians who've built a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio while maintaining their medical careers. They've helped hundreds of fellow doctors replace clinical income with passive cash flow—without sacrificing patient care.
Join Leti and Kenji each week as they interview physician investors who've escaped the burnout cycle, share step-by-step strategies to analyze deals, and provide actionable blueprints to build your real estate portfolio with your busy schedule. Learn how to leverage your high income, create tax advantages most doctors miss, and build the time freedom you deserve.
It's time to stop trading your time for money and start building generational wealth. Your patients need you at your best—not burned out and counting the years to retirement.

What If You Didn't Have to Wait Until 65 to Start Living?
You're building wealth. You're making progress. But have you actually designed the life that wealth is for?
Most physicians haven't. The default plan is to grind for 20 or 30 more years, retire, and then finally start doing the things you've been dreaming about. But what if that plan has a flaw you can't see until you get there?
We found out the hard way. And what we discovered completely changed how we think about work, freedom, and what it means to be semi-retired.
In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what the semi-retired life actually looks like, live from Japan, where we're spending three months with our four kids through a slow travel program. This isn't theory. This is the real thing: the daily schedule, the cultural moments, the logistics, the hard parts, and why we keep doing it.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- What happened five months into our year of full-time travel that changed how we think about retirement forever
- The day-to-day moments in Japan that no vacation could ever give you, and what our kids are learning from them
- Why traveling with kids as part of a community is a completely different experience than doing it on your own
- The real logistics: packing for months, managing your home while you're away, negotiating with your kids' school, and handling time zone challenges
- How we run our businesses and real estate portfolio remotely, and what our typical day looks like from the other side of the world
- Creative ways full-time doctors in our community are finding ways to take month-long trips, even with clinical schedules
The life you're building wealth for is available to you right now, in smaller doses, if you're willing to get creative and ask for what you want. Listen now and start making it happen.
