In this episode of Bootstrap MD, I'm excited to be joined by Dr. Bradley Block from The Physician's Guide to Doctoring and Dr. Jimmy Turner from Money Meets Medicine to discuss our launch of Doctor Podcast Network. Together with podcast industry veteran Desiree Leos, we're building something I'm really passionate about – a supportive ecosystem for physicians who want to get into podcasting. We each shared our personal journeys and the struggles we faced, like finding time to produce episodes, dealing with editing headaches, and figuring out how to build an audience. With Doctor Podcast Network, we're removing these obstacles by providing a clear step-by-step roadmap, white-glove services, and what I'm most excited about – a strong community of like-minded professionals. As podcasting continues to grow, we believe it's crucial to have more physician voices in the media landscape, sharing our expertise, building our personal brands, and connecting with broader audiences.

Dr. Mike Woo-Ming and Dr. Anne Truong tackle a pressing question on many physicians' minds: How will medical practices survive and thrive amid the sweeping healthcare changes coming in 2025? From the looming 2.8% Medicare reimbursement cut to the rising costs of running a practice, they reveal why more doctors are exploring alternatives to the traditional insurance-based model – and why some non-physician practitioners may already be ahead of the curve.

Drawing from their clinical and business experience, Drs. Woo-Ming and Truong unpack the surprising truth about cash-based practices: how they can lead to seeing fewer patients while earning more, why membership models might be medicine's "best-kept secret," and what healthcare entrepreneurs can learn from unlikely sources like Massage Envy. The episode offers a fascinating glimpse into how innovative physicians are reshaping their practices to succeed in an uncertain healthcare landscape.

Don't miss their exciting announcement about Cash Practice University: a brand-new training program that will show physicians exactly how to build their own thriving cash-based medical practice!

Today we're exploring a book that has significantly influenced my approach to medicine and entrepreneurship - Ryan Holiday's "The Obstacle is the Way." As healthcare professionals, we face numerous challenges, from complex regulations to rapid technological changes. Today, we'll delve into how the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, as presented in Holiday's book, can provide us with powerful tools to navigate these obstacles. Drawing from my personal journey - from disillusioned family practitioner to multi-business entrepreneur - we'll discuss practical strategies for reframing challenges as opportunities and cultivating resilience.

In this episode, we'll examine how these Stoic principles can be applied in real-world healthcare scenarios. We'll look at historical examples, such as Fleming's discovery of penicillin, to illustrate how embracing obstacles can lead to groundbreaking innovations. Whether you're a physician considering entrepreneurship, an investor interested in healthcare, or simply seeking new ways to approach challenges in your medical career, this episode offers valuable insights. Join us as we explore how to transform regulatory hurdles, market competition, and technological disruptions into stepping stones for success in our ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
