In this episode of The Clinical Leadership Podcast, Dr. Alex Earl sits down with Colin Carr, Founder and CEO of CARR, the nation’s leading commercial real estate firm dedicated exclusively to representing healthcare tenants and buyers.

Real estate is one of the largest and least-understood financial decisions practice owners make—and the wrong decision can quietly limit profitability, flexibility, and long-term wealth. In this conversation, Colin breaks down when it makes sense to rent, when subleasing can be a strategic move, and when owning your building is actually the right play.

This episode is essential listening for rehab chiropractors, private practice owners, and healthcare entrepreneurs who want to think like true operators—not just tenants—and make real estate decisions that support growth instead of restricting it.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The real pros and cons of renting vs subleasing vs owning
• Common real estate mistakes that cost practice owners six figures
• How lease terms quietly affect cash flow and scalability
• When buying a building helps—and when it actually hurts—your business
• Why eliminating conflicts of interest matters in healthcare real estate
• How smart real estate decisions create long-term leverage and optionality
