Saturday Digest Week of June 16–22, 2025

From Tod 📫

This week, I found myself reflecting on the unexpected ways legacy, freedom, and strategy intersect.

From the emotional rededication of Jane’s Park in my hometown of Bremen to a GI doc’s bold pivot from Antarctica to autonomy, and a Friday dive into retirement tax efficiency—it’s been a reminder that you are the CEO of your life and legacy.

Whether you're building a medical side hustle, forming your LLC, or optimizing your retirement accounts, PEA-SimpliMD is here to guide, equip, and inspire you every step of the way.

As always, I’m cheering for you.
