Times were much different when Yuval Bar-Or, PhD, first appeared on the Faculty Factory Podcast as a guest in the early spring of 2020.

Dr. Bar-Or joined our podcast for a very memorable episode entitled, Financial Basics for Medical Professionals. It featured practical advice about the basics of personal finance for faculty and medical professionals.

At the time it was recorded our society was in the beginning stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost everyone was impacted in some way financially from the pandemic. With that in mind, we welcomed back Dr. Bar-Or for a follow-up episode. We discuss how COVID-19 has impacted many of our lives financially and how we can prepare for future events that might drastically change our budgets and life.

Dr. Bar-Or is an Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. He is the author of several books, and he is the founder of the Pillars of Wealth series for medical professionals.

Financial Basics for Medical Professionals was a very popular episode. It was the 14th Faculty Factory “Snippet” episode and the 64th overall show.

Among its many consequences, the pandemic has had a major impact on financial markets and the personal finances of almost every individual and household.

Almost everyone was impacted in some way financially from the pandemic. Less than two years later, many markets have drastically improved, and many other unexpected consequences related to the pandemic, including record low unemployment numbers and supply change issues have been a result.

Much of the content he covers on today’s podcast is included as part of his free Pillars of Wealth initiative for medical professionals.
