If you’re running multiple locations, growth alone isn’t the flex anymore - value is. In this week’s episode of the Group Practice Accelerator Podcast, Jamie brings back Partnership & Equity Solutions Executive, Mark Flock, for straight talk about what it really takes to be ready for 2026. From strategic partnerships to equity decisions that either multiply or quietly destroy value, this conversation is for owners who are thinking beyond “more locations” and toward leverage, optionality, and long-term payoff. If your practice is scaling, the question is no longer can you grow, it’s whether your structure is making the business more valuable or more complicated. 

If you want a business that gives you leverage, options, and power (not just more responsibility), this episode will change how you think about growth.

If you’ve ever wondered why DSO and MSO valuations exploded, stalled, and now look ready to move again, the answer is hiding in plain sight: SOFR.

In this 2026 kickoff episode, host Jamie West Falasz invites Polaris Founder & CEO, Diwakar Sinha back to the show for a breakdown of how changes in borrowing costs have driven valuation cycles, recap strategies and M&A activity from 2017 through today. From the pre-pandemic decline in borrowing costs, to the near-zero-rate frenzy that fueled record deal volume, to the post-pandemic reality of cashflow compression and failed transactions, SOFR has been the hidden lever behind it all. Tune in to learn about the recent downward trend in SOFR, why it signals a positive turning point for capital deployment, and why 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for prepared founders and operators.
