Most physicians are not stuck because they don’t know what to do. They have read the books, made the plans, gotten the coaching, and still find themselves struggling to execute. In this episode, Dr. Una shows why the real issue is often not knowledge, but the stories doctors are carrying from the past, the fear of disappointment, and the identity they have not yet upgraded.

Dr. Una shows physicians how to redefine failure, stop protecting themselves from disappointment, and intentionally become the kind of leader who can build a thriving business. This episode is a powerful reset for the doctor who is ready to stop circling, take ownership, and create the dream business and dream life they know is possible.

OB/GYN Dr. Cheruba Prabakar ditched employed medicine, went cash-pay, and built a boutique surgical practice in the Bay Area from scratch. Dr. Una breaks down how she overcame fear, bootstrapped without a loan, and hit her first revenue milestone in year one.

Dr. Cheruba Prabakar spent 7–8 years in employed medicine before she admitted something felt off. Her dream of owning a practice had been buried under the assumption that private practice simply didn't exist on the West Coast. She joined the EntreMD Business School not with a plan, but with a question: is there another way? A year later, she opened her doors.

She bootstrapped entirely, no loan, no outside funding. She answered her own phones, hand-wrote appointments, and stood at a dark outdoor event in a ski jacket handing out cards to strangers. A patient showed up from that event two and a half years later. The work was always working. She just couldn't see it yet.

By the end of year one, she had already hit a revenue number she once thought was ridiculous to even write down. The milestone didn't make her comfortable. It made her hungry. She introduced membership programs, raised her surgical prices, and hired a second physician so her practice could run while she's on vacation. Now she's writing a book on fibroids, due out July 2026, because she wants every woman to know they don't have to wait eight months to see a surgeon.

Pediatrician Dr. Noha Polack built a leadership team strong enough to run her private practice without her. Dr. Una breaks down how physician entrepreneurs can build a team, hire well, and buy back their time.

👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call

Dr. Noha Polack has run her New Jersey pediatric practice for 25 years, and she's candid about the calls she got wrong first. The hardest was holding onto an employee long after the fit was gone. When she finally made the change, the office mood lifted and her best people stopped eyeing the exit. Her rule now: hire for personality, and if it isn't working in three months, let go.

She also watched urgent care centers and venture-backed clinics open on nearly every corner, pulling at both her patients and her staff. Most practices around her sold to hospital systems or private equity. Dr. Polack joined a larger group instead, keeping full autonomy while improving her finances enough to pay her team better.

The shift came when she stopped hunting for the perfect manager and started building one. A monthly leadership book club turned two of her staff into office managers who run the day-to-day, which is what made a month away possible even with three providers out on leave at the same time. Her takeaway: she's the most worthwhile person she can invest in.

Tune in and get to work!

Key Takeaways

00:00 30 years in and still loving medicine, business, and life

02:06 Marketing your practice has completely changed. Get loud

03:06 Your voice is not for you. It belongs to your patients

04:50 Mistake 1: Holding onto the wrong hire too long

06:10 Fear and timidity are not a business strategy

08:32 Mistake 2: Not watching what the competition is doing

11:00 Analyze the challenge. Then make a plan

12:26 You cannot build a great practice alone

14:46 Stop waiting for the perfect manager. Train one

16:02 Mentoring your team is the price you pay for freedom

19:04 Three providers down. She still went to Asia for a month

24:22 Hire for coachability and ownership. Not experience

Sixteen years as a physician entrepreneur across five businesses taught Dr. Una one thing. Challenges never stop coming. What changes is how you meet them.

👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call

Setbacks aren't the exception in business. They're part of building one. The real question is what you do when everything seems to hit at once and the dream feels further away than when you started.

In this episode, Dr. Una gets personal about what it actually takes to stay in the game. She opens with why you can't let your current reality become your internal picture, and uses the example of a business at $2M building toward $5M to show why that stage is still your dream business if you choose to see it that way.

She breaks down why your business is always a construction site, the difference between stopping and strategic rest, and the line her husband uses that reframes every obstacle: every man's mountain is his ignorance. Dr. Una also gets into the power of self-talk, the I am statements she says to herself daily, and why words, not thoughts, are what interrupt the spiral.

This is a practical episode for the physician entrepreneur who needs a reset and a reminder that every challenge is designed to be overcome.

Tune in and get to work!

Key Takeaways:

00:00 Challenges are guaranteed. Your response is not 

05:02 Strategy 1: Guard your internal picture 

07:04 Your GPS on the inside shapes the outside 

09:40 Strategy 2: Live your dream business now 

12:22 Chase tomorrow. Enjoy today 

13:40 Strategy 3: Your business is a construction site 

14:10 Solving problems earns you new problems 

17:14 Strategy 4: Take the next one to three steps 

20:32 Strategy 5: Lean on people who can help 

23:58 Strategy 6: Your biggest mountain is your ignorance 

24:50 Stop saying you do everything. Ask what you are missing 

28:02 Strategy 7: Words do what thoughts cannot

Most physicians hate selling. Here’s how to do it persuasively and authentically without pressure tactics, manipulation, or that pit-in-your-stomach feeling.

👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call

Entrepreneurship is one long series of asks and if you’re not making them with real conviction, you’re leaving both impact and income on the table.

In this episode, Dr. Una breaks down five things every physician entrepreneur needs to do to become genuinely persuasive. The first, and most important, is being fully sold on what you’re selling. Not performance. Real conviction. She walks through the moment at her first live event in 2019 when she had to choose between showing up with doubt or showing up persuaded and what that decision unlocked. She also shares the story of client Dr. Carolyn Moyers, who ended her first year in the EntreMD Business School with 41% revenue growth and seven weeks off, and how that kind of result is exactly what fuels unshakeable conviction.

From there, Dr. Una breaks down why leading with your process almost always kills the sale, how to build and own a library of social proof so potential clients can see themselves in your results, and why generosity is one of the most underrated persuasion tools in business.

These five principles aren’t theory. Dr. Una has used them to serve thousands of physician entrepreneurs and generate tens of millions in revenue. If you’ve been showing up to webinars, discovery calls, or patient conversations without real conviction, this episode is the reset you need.

Tune in and get to work!

Key Takeaways

00:00 Persuade others only after persuading yourself

05:40 Step 1: Be persuaded, conviction is a business asset

10:36 Build persuasion through real client results

12:56 41% revenue growth and 7 weeks off: conviction in action

15:16 Step 2: Sell the future, not the process

18:50 Step 3: Your process is your genius, keep it to yourself

21:40 Step 4: Own your social proof and use it everywhere

24:28 The bigger your business, the more you need others’ stories

27:30 Social proof sells people on their own dream

29:44 Step 5: Generosity is a persuasion strategy

31:36 Fill the reciprocity bank before you make the ask

33:34 These five steps work for every ask you will ever make

Doubt doesn't just affect your mindset — it directly kills business growth, slows your team down, and keeps physician entrepreneurs operating far below their potential. Dr. Una breaks down seven practical strategies to shut it down.

👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call 

Doubt isn't something you outgrow. It shows up every time you try to do something bigger.

In this episode, Dr. Una gets honest about every season doubt has shown up in her own business — when she launched the EntreMD Podcast, when she started the EntreMD Business School, when she wrote her first book, when she talked about seven figures as a floor. She also explains why doubt isn't reserved for beginners. It shows up for high performers, strong teams, and businesses with everything they need to win. The only difference between people who move and people who stall is what they've decided to do when it arrives.

She walks through seven concrete strategies she actually uses: deciding your business is good right now, keeping your vision in front of you, using real-life vision boards (people, not posters), redefining what challenges actually mean, making peace with the gestation period, cutting off the fire extinguishers in your life, and hosting your own pep rallies. None of these are abstract. She gives you the exact language she uses, the mental shifts she's made, and what it looks like in practice.

This is the episode for anyone who has ever hesitated when they should have moved.

10:15 People don't buy what you sell. They buy your confidence. 

12:00 Strategy 1: Decide your business is good — once and for all 

15:40 Strategy 2: Focus on your vision, not your current reality 

20:00 Strategy 3: Keep real-life vision boards in front of you 

23:15 Strategy 4: Redefine what challenges mean

Dr. Tolu Olabintan launched her family medicine practice in the middle of COVID and grew it to a multi-million dollar, multi-clinician practice — here's how she did it.

👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call 

Private practice is not dead. Dr. Tolu built the evidence.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tolu Olabintan  — family physician, obesity medicine specialist, and founder of Livingspring Medical Center in Mansfield, Texas — for a conversation that covers the full arc of her journey: launching virtually in November 2020 at the height of COVID, opening on the ground in July 2021, and building from her first four-figure month all the way to multiple seven figures, 10,000+ patients served, and a team of six clinicians.

Dr. Tolu gets real about what it actually took — letting go of micromanaging everything herself, building a team when the space felt too small for one, staying coachable when she thought she already knew, and saying no to the distractions that looked like opportunities. She also talks about what changed when she stopped asking "is this possible?" and started asking "how?" — and how that shift in thinking touched every part of her business and her life.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at a physician who built the dream practice and the dream life, and is still building.

What if 3 hours could uncover $500,000 in hidden revenue sitting inside your private practice right now?

That's exactly what happened at the inaugural Private Practice Summit 2026 — and in this episode, Dr. Una pulls back the curtain on the 3 shifts that transformed 100% of the doctors in the room from physicians into Physician CEOs in just 48 hours.

From startup practices to multi-seven-figure operations… insurance-based to direct primary care to telemedicine-only… every doctor walked out a different version of themselves. And the wins weren't theoretical — one doctor identified a $90,000 revenue opportunity she'd been missing, another uncovered a billing code she wasn't using that once applied will create an additional $500,000 in revenue, and another completely restructured her schedule on the spot.

In this episode, Dr. Una breaks down:

• The identity shift every physician must make to scale a profitable practice (and why your strategy will fail without it)
• The 5-step reverse-engineering process that helped doctors uncover six and seven figures of hidden revenue in a single afternoon
• Why the "right room" accelerates your growth faster than any strategy or tactic ever could
• The 3 things billion-dollar CEOs work on first — and why most physicians skip them
• How to know if community is the missing ingredient in your private practice journey

If you've ever felt stuck, isolated, or unsure of what your practice could actually become — this episode is your roadmap.

Dr. Sarolta Szabo grew her dermatology practice from 3,000 to 18,000 square feet, cut her clinical days in half, and took six weeks of personal vacation last year — here's how she did it.

In 2020, she was calling private equity firms to sell. By 2025, she had two locations, 50 staff, and her life back.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarolta Szabo — dermatologist and founder of Alta Vista Dermatology in Highlands Ranch, Colorado — for a conversation that covers the full arc: opening her practice from scratch in 2010, grinding through 10 years of trial and error, hitting a wall, and then making a decision that changed everything.

Dr. Szabo gets honest about what nearly drove her to sell — the burnout, the loneliness of the CEO role, working nights after the kids were in bed, and building without a roadmap. She talks through how she made the transition from working in the business to leading it, how she navigated growing with a spouse who wasn't initially on board with coaching, and how she rebuilt after losing five providers in a single year. She also shares what she believes about the role of community, accountability, and coaching at every level of growth — and why she thinks you either have a coach or a therapist, because doing this alone has a ceiling.

This is the kind of episode that makes you want to go back and listen again.

Dr. Una answers seven of the most common questions physician entrepreneurs have about starting and growing a YouTube channel — from gear and liability to content strategy and posting consistency.

You already know you should be on YouTube. Here's everything that's been stopping you.

In this episode, Dr. Una takes real overflow questions from doctors in the Profitable Private Practice movement and answers every one of them. Do you need to hire a production team? Should you post under your name or your business name? What about liability and medical advice? How often do you need to post to actually build a following? Long-form or Shorts? Can you repurpose old videos? And how do you promote your channel without getting sucked into the scroll?

She covers all of it — and backs every answer with specifics. She shares how she started with her iPhone and a stand, how she built out her four content pillars, and how she discovered that nine of her top ten videos on a second YouTube channel were on the same topic. That last one alone will change how you think about content strategy.

This isn't a theoretical episode about YouTube. Dr. Una is actively running channels, growing audiences, and using long-form video as a business tool — and she's walking you through exactly how it works.

Tune in and get inspired!
