  • #62: How to Take a Vacation as a Private Practice Owner
    Jun 15 2026

    In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest myths about private practice: that you'll never be able to take a vacation.

    I share how I've actually taken more time off as a practice owner than I did when I was employed, and discuss the planning, systems, and communication strategies that make it possible.

    Whether you're building an insurance-based, membership, cash-pay, in-person, or telemedicine practice, taking time away is possible. And it is important for long-term sustainability.

  • #61: Create Your No-Show Policy Before You Open
    Jun 8 2026

    In this episode, I discuss one of the most important office policies to establish before you open your practice: your no-show policy.

    We cover what should count as a no-show, whether to charge fees, how to handle repeat offenders, rescheduling rules, and the importance of applying the policy consistently.

  • #60: 5 Ways Organized Medicine Can Help You Build Your Private Practice
    Jun 1 2026

    When physicians think about starting a private practice, they often overlook one of the most valuable resources they already have access to: organized medicine.

    In this episode, I share 5 ways local, state, specialty, and national medical organizations can support your private practice journey—from vendor discounts and professional connections to referrals, mentorship, and even funding opportunities.

    If you're already paying membership dues, it's time to make those memberships work for you.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How medical societies can connect you with valuable resources and partners
    • Why networking with private practice physicians matters
    • Ways conferences can help you build referral relationships
    • How to find local advice and recommendations from physicians who have done it before
    • Funding and grant opportunities you may be overlooking
