In this vlog, Brad , MD breaks down a viral Direct Primary Care discussion where physicians shared that they were one to two years into practice ownership without making a profit. He explains why starting a DPC or primary care practice is not just about escaping employment, but about building a real business with a clear vision, strong marketing, pricing strategy, and scalable patient acquisition. Brad compares DPC versus fee-for-service primary care, explains why going after one patient at a time can slow growth, and shares why physicians need to think like business owners if they want to build a profitable medical practice.

Being a kind doctor is a strength — until it starts costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, Brad gets brutally honest about the biggest mistakes he made while scaling his multi-million dollar primary care practice. From a biller who nearly bankrupted his clinic by hiding that she didn't know what she was doing, to keeping underperforming employees out of loyalty, to letting high-maintenance patients walk all over him, Brad breaks down the costly lessons he learned the hard way. If you're a practice owner who struggles to fire fast, set boundaries, or stop bending your own rules for difficult patients and staff, this one's for you. Learn how to stay kind while running your business like a business.

What does it really take to go from “just a startup” to a respected, fast-growing medical practice?

A must-listen for physicians who want to start, grow, or scale their own practice.

Feeling stressed, stuck, or burned out by your medical practice? In this podcast, Brad breaks down why practice owners need a quarterly audit to identify the biggest sources of stress, friction, and inefficiency.

Everyone talks about what they got wrong. This episode is different. Dr. Brad breaks down the exact moves that actually built his multi-million dollar independent primary care practice from the ground up — starting just nine months before COVID hit. From grinding 12-hour days with no lunch to strategic networking that sent him hundreds of patients, Brad shares the raw, real playbook: how to work smart and hard in the early days, why your network literally is your net worth, how to market yourself without shame, the importance of building SOPs and hiring great people (and paying them well), and how to filter out the noise and only listen to feedback that actually moves the needle. If you're starting or scaling an independent practice, this is the episode you need.

Medical school didn't just teach you medicine, it trained you to be afraid. Afraid to fail, afraid to negotiate, afraid to leave. In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down how the medical system deliberately (or not) engineers fear into physicians from day one, and why that fear is the #1 reason doctors stay stuck in employment contracts, underpaid and undervalued.

We'll talk about Walt Disney getting fired for "lacking creativity," Henry Ford losing two companies before building an empire, and how failure is a data point — not a verdict. Whether you're employed and thinking about ownership, or already in practice and too scared to take the next step, this episode is for you.

ost practice owners think they have a growth problem, when in reality they have a revenue leak problem. In this episode, Brad breaks down the hidden ways medical practices lose money every day, from empty appointment slots and missed phone calls to weak recall systems, undercoding, billing delays, no-shows, and operationally weak providers. This is a practical episode for physicians and owners who want to tighten operations, improve collections, increase patient retention, and grow their practice without automatically spending more on marketing. If you own or operate a medical practice, this episode will help you spot the leaks, fix them, and lead with more discipline.

Most physicians think they need “more patients.” In reality, you need visibility, trust, and a brand. In this episode, I break down why clinical excellence doesn’t automatically translate into a full schedule—and what to do about it. We cover the practical marketing levers that actually move the needle: Google Business Profile setup, reviews that rank, basic local SEO, social media presence, referral relationships, and why relying on word-of-mouth alone can keep you slow for months. If your schedule is light (or you’re opening a new location), this is your playbook for building a real patient acquisition engine without losing control of your message.
