In this episode, Will Humphreys and Michael Silva tackle a crucial topic for every business owner: getting out of your own way. Michael, a master coach for private practice owners, shares his personal journey of building and selling a successful business and reveals the surprising lessons he learned about leadership, trust, and the elusive power of ego.

We explore why so many owners, especially in healthcare, struggle to delegate and truly empower their teams. Michael recounts his own experience of being "the brand" and how letting go of that identity was essential for his business to thrive beyond his individual efforts.

Key takeaways from this episode:

  • The Ego Trap: Discover how your ego can be the biggest barrier to your business's growth and how recognizing its presence is the first step toward overcoming it.
  • The "Me" vs. "We" Shift: Learn why transitioning from a "me" centered approach to a "we" mentality is vital for building a sustainable and impactful team.
  • The Power of Relationships: Michael emphasizes that fostering strong, authentic relationships with your team members is paramount to your business's success, even more so than your patient relationships.
  • Beyond Treating Patients: For private practice owners, understand why stepping back from full-time clinical work isn't about abandoning your passion, but about leveraging your highest value for the business as a leader.
  • Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Hear why prioritizing your well-being isn't a luxury, but a fundamental aspect of effective leadership and sustained business growth.

This episode is a must-listen for any business owner or leader who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wants to unlock their full potential. Michael's candid insights and Will's relatable experiences offer a powerful roadmap for transforming your mindset and ultimately, your business.
