The beginning is exciting. The end is rewarding. But the middle? That’s where things feel slow, unclear, and frustrating.

In this episode, I’m talking about why the messy middle is actually where the real work happens, and why staying here is what sets you apart.

If you’re in the middle and feeling stuck, let’s map it out together in a 90-minute private practice strategy intensive.

Most physicians start thinking about how to open a private practice before they’ve decided what kind of practice they actually want to build.

And that decision?

In this episode, I break down the three main private practice models. Insurance-based, cash-based, and hybrid. So you can start identifying which one aligns with your goals, your lifestyle, and the way you want to practice medicine.

If you’re feeling stuck trying to figure out your next step, you don’t have to do it alone.

Apply for a Private Practice Strategy Intensive where we’ll map out your model and build a clear plan for your practice.

Also, here's the episode I mentioned with Dr. Heather Signorelli, the queen of all things billing and coding in private practice. If you're considering an insurance based-practice, check her out for some great tips and guidance.

What if I leave my job… and regret it?

It’s a fear that keeps many physicians stuck. In this week’s Thursday Shift, I share a different perspective: what if you never try? And what if going back is always an option?

If you’ve been thinking about private practice but feel held back by fear of regret, this episode will help you reframe the decision.

When physicians think about starting a private practice, they often focus on the logistics: the lease, the EHR, credentialing, and staffing.

But one of the first things patients see is your branding.

In this episode, I’m joined by Nadene Taylor, founder of Hope and Sage Design House and the designer behind my Golden Ivy Co logo, to talk about branding and logo design for physicians starting a private practice.

We discuss how to approach the branding process, common mistakes to avoid, and how to create a logo that reflects the practice you want to build.

Will owning a practice take over my life?

It’s a question many physicians ask when they start thinking about private practice. In this week’s Thursday Shift, I share why ownership doesn’t have to consume your life—and how building the right systems and workflows can actually give you more control over your time.

If you’ve been wondering whether private practice will take over your life, this episode offers a simple but powerful mindset shift.

How much revenue can a private practice actually generate?

In this episode, I break down the simple equation behind private practice revenue and show how the math works in both insurance-based and cash-pay practices.

We’ll talk about how revenue ultimately comes down to two numbers:

Once you understand that formula, it becomes much easier to model what your future practice could look like.

If you’re planning a private practice and want help running the numbers, I walk through this exercise step-by-step inside my Plan to Practice digital course, where you can plug in your own assumptions and explore different revenue scenarios.

Today’s episode is a little special — it’s my birthday. 🎉

And in honor of that, we’re talking about something I hear all the time from physicians considering private practice: “I’m too old to start now.”

Maybe you’re 40.

You feel like you missed your window. Like it would’ve been easier 10 years ago. Like starting over now just doesn’t make sense.

In this short Thursday Shift episode, we reframe that thought completely.

You’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.

We’ll talk about:

If private practice has been quietly pulling at you, this episode is your reminder: courage doesn’t expire.

And if this podcast has encouraged you at all, I’d be so grateful if you’d leave a review as a birthday gift — it helps more physicians realize that private practice is still possible.

Opening a private practice? Don’t overlook your medical supply strategy.

In this episode, I walk through how to create a master medical supply list before you open, how to evaluate and find a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), why you shouldn’t over-order inventory in the beginning, and how to track usage from day one.

One of the best pieces of advice I received when starting my own practice was this: buy only what you need...you can always order more later. Because inventory sitting on your shelves is cash not in your bank account.

If you’re launching an insurance-based or cash-pay private practice, this episode will help you protect your margins and build smarter operational systems from the start.
