Update: 2025-08-14
Description
Perfectionism might have helped you get into vet school, but it could be holding you back financially. Dr. Jason Balara joins Meredith to talk about how an “all or nothing” mindset can sabotage your financial goals and delay meaningful progress. Jason is a board-certified veterinary surgeon and founder of Lark Capital, a real estate investment firm.
They explore:
- Why striving for excellence beats chasing perfection
- How perfectionism shows up in investing, budgeting, and student loan strategies
- Why it’s better to start small than wait for the “perfect” financial plan
- How Jason restructured his career to prioritize time and autonomy
Whether you’re working toward loan forgiveness, thinking about launching a side business, or feeling stuck because you don’t have all the answers—this episode will help you take action without waiting for perfect conditions.
