In this episode, I have the great pleasure of chatting with Dr. Cheng Ruan, the founder of Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Ruan started out in an internal medicine practice before starting his extremely successful and lucrative lifestyle medicine practice. 

Here are some of the key points we touched on:

• The importance of understanding every aspect of how a private practice functions before starting your own
• How to get patients BEFORE you open your doors
• How to create the right culture for your employees
• How to leverage yourself with physician extenders (and get paid)

Dr. Ruan is hosting the  Physician Practice Automation Summit Oct. 17-24, 2021. He's put together 40 experts including doctors, lawyers, marketing executives and more to help teach how to grow and scale private practices and I'm thrilled to be one of the speakers.
