Buckets, Balance & Legacy: Dr. Malcolm Rosenson on Money, Medicine, and Family- Compound Growth Episode 16
In this episode of Compound Growth, Wheeler and Colin sit down with Dr. Malcolm Rosenson—physician, leader, husband, father of four, and proud grandfather. Born and raised in New Orleans, Malcolm shares stories of the city’s unique culture, from red beans and rice Mondays to costume closets, and how its vibrant spirit shaped his worldview.
The conversation explores Malcolm’s journey through medicine, from training in New Orleans to leading departments in New England. He opens up about the challenges and rewards of a medical career, the evolution of healthcare, and why the decision to pursue medicine must come from the heart, not just the head. His candid reflections shed light on physician burnout, rising student debt, and the administrative weight on today’s doctors.
Beyond his professional path, Malcolm offers timeless lessons on family, money, and legacy. He shares how he categorizes debt into “good, bad, and risk,” the importance of balancing what you have to buy, should buy, and want to buy, and why financial guidance across generations can strengthen families. This thoughtful, humorous, and inspiring conversation reminds us that true growth isn’t just about wealth—it’s about resilience, perspective, and passing on wisdom.
