You know when you read advice that preaches and makes it seem like if you follow their advice, you'll win at life?

I hate that. The world is NOT so simple. And advice is NOT easily transferrable from business to business. You have to customize it and tweak it to make it fit for your specific situation.

Recently, I read advice on how to run a staff meeting, but I'm skeptical, so I want to try a new idea out so I can get out of boring staff meetings where Ragini and I just lecture all the time. We're going to give them the reins and we'll sit back and listen.

So like I said in the first episode, this last year was pretty busy - one of the big happenings was that we bought a second practice. In this episode, Ragini joins me and we talk about the process we went through from meeting the seller, working out the details and some of the elements involved in the transition.
