The Shared Practices Podcast - Archives

From Season 2 to now, how has George's understanding about ownership changed? With more Pre-Owners getting hooked on the Shared Practices podcast, we focus on what we've learned in the last four, five, even six years, and how to pass that on to our Pre Owners.

Webinar Deep Dive with George Hariri and Alex Sharp. What would George now tell George then, when he was buying a practice? What if you parking lot is now too small like Alex' is and Ashley Joves' was? Did I choose the right practice? So many rabbit holes but Do. Not. Worry. We address all of that and more, as we all pursue our growth goals.

Hint: it starts with your vision. How many clinical days do you want, four, three, or two? Work backwards from there!

Having been out of school for a few years, our guest Dr. Biggie Smalls is now struggling to fulfill his vision. Whether it's multi-practice or a group practice, the growth struggles are the same. Lucky for us, our new co-host Dr. Matt Ford has been in that situation before. How'd Dr. Matt Ford get past it? Listen as Suzanne leads Dr. Smalls through the growing pains.

Matt Ford is excited to announce our first official Pre-owner Underwater. Prospective owners have been reaching out to us. Expect to hear candid conversations that we have anyway--we just figured we'd air them for your benefit. You'll hear high-level, valuable nuggets. Dr. Howard Tsoi is up first. After working his way into ownership, he's struggling and reaching out. He has lots of family in the Bay Area and wants to practice nearby. But can he settle into such a saturated area?

Our guest Adam is did at least two things very right: first, he started; he's moving his feet. Secondly, he came to Suzanne early enough in the process to avoid common mistakes and growing pains.

As he comes face-to-face with his metrics, Adam learns the value of meetings, the cost of stale working relationships, and how to go to war every day with a team who has each other's backs.

Andrew Clingan continues our introduction to Dr. Matt Ford. They go on-air with a candid conversation they were having about rural practices. When we hear more about Dr. Ford's experience, we start to take him more seriously when he poses the seemingly-ubiquitous question: Should I go rural?
