Think a low interest rate is the key to paying off debt fast? Think again! Banks have mastered the art of distraction—getting you to focus on interest rates while the real secret to reducing debt stays hidden.

If you're a dentist or business owner struggling with high monthly payments, there’s a better way to take control of your finances, free up cash flow, and pay off debt faster than you ever thought possible—without sacrificing your lifestyle.

That’s why I’m joined by Dr. Howard Polansky, a former dentist turned financial strategist, who helps professionals like you escape the debt cycle without extreme budgeting or lifestyle sacrifices.

In this episode, we cover topics like:

• Why focusing on interest rates is a trap—and what really determines your debt payoff timeline.
• How to restructure debt using cash flow optimization to reduce payments without cutting back on lifestyle.
• Why most financial advisors and CPAs don’t discuss these strategies—and what you can do differently.
• The biggest risks to avoid when using this debt reduction strategy.
• Real-world examples of dentists who slashed their debt quickly and freed up thousands in cash flow.

If you’re ready to take control of your finances and gain true financial freedom, don’t miss this conversation with Dr. Howard Polansky!
