  • #77: Private Practice Is Not Dead: What I Learned Talking to Physicians at FMX
    26 Oct 2026

    After presenting "Private Practice Is Not Dead!" at the American Academy of Family Physicians' national FMX conference, I came home encouraged by the number of physicians who are still interested in owning their own practices.

    In this episode, I'm sharing three things that stood out from my conversations with physicians across the country: why so many of us don't know where to begin, the value of learning from someone who's already done it, and why fear of failure shouldn't keep you from pursuing private practice.

    If you've been thinking about opening your own practice, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to know everything before you get started.

  • #75: What Are You NOT Going to Offer When You Open Your Private Practice?
    5 Oct 2026

    When you’re planning your private practice, it’s easy to focus on everything you want to offer. But not everything has to happen on opening day.

    In this episode, we’re talking about how to decide what belongs in your opening-day practice, what can come next, and what belongs on the “someday” list. You’ll also learn why every new service creates additional costs and workflows—and why being intentional about what you don’t offer can make your launch stronger.
