AI is being added to everything — from your EMR to your phone system — but adding technology alone doesn’t guarantee better results. For private practices, the real question isn’t “Should we use AI?” but rather “Will it actually solve the root problems holding us back?”

In this episode, Zed breaks down how to evaluate AI tools the right way. You’ll learn how to separate hype from true value, identify whether your challenges are system or human-based, and set clear metrics to measure success before you commit.

If you’ve ever wondered whether AI can actually improve your practice — or just add another layer of complexity — this episode will give you the framework to decide.

Most physicians are unknowingly leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table in every lease negotiation. 

In this episode, Zed is joined by Colin Carr, founder of Carr Healthcare Realty, to uncover the silent losses buried in your real estate deals—and why landlords love working with doctors who go it alone.

Colin breaks down the posture, process, and negotiation strategy used by Fortune 500 companies—and explains how private practices can leverage the same approach to protect margins, gain leverage, and build a moat around their business.

Whether you're a solo provider or run multiple locations, if you lease your space, this episode could change how you approach every future deal.

Office drama and gossip aren’t just annoying—they’re signs of a deeper system problem. And most practice leaders have no idea how much it’s costing them.

Many physicians believe that drama is just part of running a practice. But that belief keeps teams misaligned, morale low, and patient experience fractured. It doesn’t have to be that way. A culture without gossip is not only possible—it’s a choice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why drama exists in your office (even if you think it doesn’t)
• How your systems are reinforcing the behavior you want to eliminate
• The leadership shift that makes gossip unacceptable without policing it

Drama thrives in silence. But with the right system tweaks, you can break the cycle for good. If you have struggled with drama or gossip in your practice, this episode is for you.

If your income just took a hit, this is the clarity you need before you make your next move.
