Complaining doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve identified a gap between the life you want and the life you’re living.In this episode, Dr. Brad, former hospitalist turned multi-million-dollar practice owner breaks down why so many physicians feel stuck, underpaid, exhausted, and frustrated… and why venting alone never fixes it.Using real examples from his own journey and conversations with burned-out doctors, Brad introduces a simple but powerful framework: every complaint falls into one of four categories—money, time, control, or energy.You’ll learn:Why burnout is often a boundary problem, not a workload problemHow to translate complaints into clear, actionable decisionsWhat feeling “trapped in the system” actually means—and how to regain leverageWhy motivation follows movement, not the other way aroundHow small, uncomfortable actions compound into long-term ownership and freedomIf you’re a physician who feels drained, underpaid, or boxed in by employment medicine, this episode will help you stop venting—and start leading your own life again.

Most doctors believe money, competition, or fear is what stops them from owning a medical practice. In reality, it’s perfectionism.In this episode, Dr. Brad —internal medicine physician and owner of a multi-million-dollar independent primary care practice—breaks down why waiting for the “perfect” logo, website, EHR, pricing model, or business plan is just procrastination with better branding.Drawing from real mistakes, hard-earned lessons, and over 650 physician consults, Dr. Brad explains why momentum beats planning, why action beats caution, and how doctors can build a minimum viable practice instead of an imaginary perfect one. From choosing a location and EHR to pricing services, hiring staff, and launching marketing, this episode provides a practical framework for starting before you feel ready—and fixing everything in motion.If you’re a physician stuck in analysis paralysis, overwhelmed by decisions, or afraid of making mistakes, this episode is your wake-up call. Perfection doesn’t create ownership. Momentum does.Everything relatedto entrepreneurship and running a medical practice as a physician. Mywebsite 🖥️:  https://www.investingdoc.com Mypodcast Spotify Link🎧:  https://open.spotify.com/show/3JxluO7mJOSE312G1Ul9dgApplePodcast Link 🎧: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/investingdoc/id1790276462 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investingdoc/My Twitter:  https://x.com/InvestingDocMy FacebookGroup:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingdocReddit Group: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivatePracticeDocs/ Want to consult withme for your practice: Book here. https://investingdoc.com/consulting

Demand beats perfection every single time — especially in medicine.In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down why demand is the single most important metric when starting or scaling a medical practice. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should add new services, buy a new tech stack, bring in AI scribes, or invest in SEO… stop. First ask: Do you have demand?Brad shares hard-earned lessons from growing his own multimillion-dollar primary care practice, including:Why demand solves almost every business problemHow Bezos, Zuckerberg, hospitals, and private practices all follow the same ruleThe biggest mistake new physicians make when opening a clinicWhy you shouldn’t buy expensive tools early onHow to know when it’s truly time to hire, expand, or add servicesWhy demand is discovered, not designedHow exponential demand creates unstoppable momentumWhether you’re starting your first DPC clinic or scaling past your fifth location, this episode gives you the mindset and tactics to build demand—fast.

Join Brad, owner of a multi-million dollar practice in Austin, as he tackles what he considers the hardest part of running a practice: the emotional and financial ups and downs of entrepreneurship.Brad gets real about the struggle of those "low months" where you question everything, and the challenge of leaving the business stress at home to be present for family. He shares his personal journey from growing up poor to losing $200,000 in a month due to expansion.What you'll learn in this episode:he Power of the 'Ups': How celebrating milestones (like your first $30,000 day) and the adrenaline of momentum keep you going.Why the 'Downs' are Essential: How low points forge clarity, resistance, decisiveness, and leadership, building your business's foundation.Actionable Strategy: Brad's method for handling low moments by "bite-sizing" problems and analyzing key metrics like website performance and ad clicks.Real-World Fixes: The immediate impact of changing a slow-loading website, improving online booking, and opening after-hours to meet patient demand.Motivational Lessons: Why successful entrepreneurs like Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Musk pushed through near-failure and the danger of making permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.Don't quit during the down cycle. A slow month is not a bad strategy.
