In the final episode of the Money Miniseries, Dr. Randy Lehman shares a behind-the-scenes look at launching Liberty Clinic, the independent rural practice he built from the ground up (and nearly had to shut down). 

The episode covers the financial, emotional, and leadership challenges that come with going first in a rural environment. It’s about the limits of planning, the gift of margin, and the kind of resilience that only develops after setbacks.
