The Physician Business Podcast

For a lot of people, goal setting feels heavy. And as we edge toward the end of the year, it becomes harder to ignore the pressure to reinvent your life by January 1st.

A few years ago, my family figured out how to make this process something we actually look forward to. What began as a slight...

Self-care has always felt a bit... off. 

For years, I rolled my eyes at the whole concept. Between climbing the corporate ladder with three kids under five and a mountain of responsibilities, self-care felt indulgent, surface-level, and honestly… kind of annoying.

But here's what I figured...

“The level that I want to help people will never work in this system.”

It’s a sentence many physicians feel deep down but rarely say out loud. 

You can love your patients, believe in your work, and still recognize that the system you’re working in isn’t built to support the kind of care you w...

You can't "committee-approve" your way into a clinic launch. But if you're coming from corporate medicine, that's exactly what your brain wants to do: over-plan, over-perfect, and overthink every detail until nothing ships.

Enter the Lean Startup approach. It started in Silicon Valley, but it ...

If you’re like most physicians, there comes a moment in your practice when patient demand is climbing, your schedule is bursting at the seams, and burnout is starting to creep in. At that point, hiring “just one more person” can feel like the only logical next step.

But here’s the catch: growt...

You left corporate medicine dreaming of autonomy and balance. But once you open your doors, the reality hits hard: Where are all the patients? Why isn’t anyone finding you? And how is marketing suddenly the most overwhelming part of running a practice?

Here’s the part nobody tells you before y...

If you're a clinic owner, few decisions feel as high-stakes as hiring your first team member or deciding who's ready for more responsibility. Even if you haven't made those moves yet, the worries are building: What if I pick the wrong person? What if they can't actually do the job? What if a pr...

Ever notice how the moment you decide to pursue something meaningful, your brain suddenly launches a full-scale protest? You set a goal… and fear, frustration, or anger appears uninvited, announcing, “We live here now.”

That’s resistance. And it has a talent for turning simple tasks (like plug...

You became a physician to help people… not to spend your nights wrestling with spreadsheets, writing social media captions, or fighting the nagging fear that you’re “doing it wrong.”

Yet here you are: a physician entrepreneur, suddenly responsible for building and running a business no one eve...

You have a brilliant idea for your business, but the moment you're ready to act, perfectionism slams on the brakes. Suddenly you're second-guessing everything, talking yourself out of action, and watching imposter syndrome take over.

If you're a physician building a business, you're learning s...

Let’s be honest… pricing in healthcare is a mess. Between insurance negotiations, opaque billing systems, and decades of corporate conditioning, it’s no wonder so many physicians feel lost when it comes to setting their own prices.

If you’re transitioning out of corporate medicine to start you...

For many physicians, the hardest part of leaving corporate medicine isn’t the uncertainty of starting a new practice, it’s the guilt. After years, sometimes decades, of caring for the same patients, walking away can feel like abandonment.
