The recent FTC ruling on Non-Compete Agreements has everyone up in arms - and justifiably so. No one knows where the final outcome will land, or when, but our world will be different. So, I share some guidance around what you need to be doing now to prepare for what's to come.

And I take a deep dive into a "Thinking Tool" I use often called a Quadrant Model.

We're starting to notice 3 positive trends that bode very well for the balance of 2024 and into 2025, and they'll impact you regardless of whether you're intending to exit or intending to grow. Tune in for the details!
One of our longest tenured employees, Kyle Webster, joins me on the show today to dive deeper into M&A markets as well as the details of due diligence - our side as well as the buy-side! Kyle is a new voice to many of you, but you'll immediately hear why he's such a valuable resource to our clients.
By now you've all heard about the lengthy due diligence processes of many buyers due to the tightening credit markets and less margin for error. Have you ever thought about the same due diligence from a seller perspective? If you're contemplating going to market, you should! I bring Diwakar behind the mic once again to share some insights into how you should look at finding the right partner for your next phase of growth.
There are a lot of people in our audience who are either thinking about creating a group practice or they are very early on in the process. Here's a hint: sometimes creating success is simply avoiding failure early on. I know that's overly simplistic, but it's totally true. On today's episode I break down several key factors critical to success in early stage groups. The group of 16 people who joined me for the recent Catalyst Project session were incredibly engaged and, frankly, a lot of fun - so much so that we're going to host another six-week session in May. If you're in the early stages of growth for your business and for yourself personally, then make a point to enroll. Here's the link: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/catalyst/
Why are we getting so much interest in debt restructuring and credit facilities when lending rates are so high?! Diwakar joins me on the show today to dive deep into his prognostication for where rates will be as well as how you should be proactively thinking about your current relationship through the next phase of growth of your business.
The current state of borrowing can be arduous if you're trying to access capital, so maintaining a healthy relationship with your current bank is mission critical. Diwakar joins me on the show today to share some stories and insights into some current client challenges - and how you can avoid them yourself.

Has "the Bubble Burst" in the M&A markets?! Well, judging from some of your reactions to our recent article in Dental Economics, we may need to share some further insights. What about the business and the industry fundamentals? How did we get "here?" And what about how we should think about the future? Tune in!
Many of you recruit based on need and far too many "hope and pray" that you can hold onto your best Associates, but have you really ever stopped to think about what makes them great in the first place? Is it all them...or maybe you do a lot to influence their success. I reference a recent client visit as well as some discussions we're having in the current Catalyst Project class...and I even draw upon a lesson from the Super Bowl. Tune in to hear my guidance on how you can change your game!
I recently appeared on the Group Dentistry Now podcast hosted by Bill Neumann. We covered a LOT of ground together and hit almost every aspect of the industry. Bill was nice enough to share the audio file, so for those who didn't hear it, here it is. And for those who did, you know it's worth a second listen. Enjoy!
In last week's episode, I discussed the concept of inflection points for a solo or emerging group practice. The considerations are different for groups of 5 of more locations. The complexity is greater and the investment is usually much more substantial, but the payoff can be significant. How would you proactively plan for a plateau in your business and what would you do to act on it before it happened? Tune in to find out!
Every business hits a stage where revenue stalls, so how should we think about that phase? And what should we do to influence the next phase of growth? These are called "inflection points" and there's certainly a way to plan for them and hopefully positively influence what happens as you move through them. I share some strategic planning guidance to consider.
Part Two is here! Over the last 4 to 6 months, I've spoken with a growing number of people who are building group practices and are NOT interested in selling them. Why is this happening? It's centers around competitive strategy. Tune in to hear the answers!

I'm constantly asked the question, "Well, if you're so smart, what would you build?!" My natural answer is, "it depends" - but that would make for a terrible podcast episode! OK, if you must know what I would want to build if i were a mid-career healthcare provider, then tune in for your answer.
Is your "home grown" operations team comprised of the "right people in the right seats?" Do you have the right leadership in place to see your business through this next phase of growth? "COO" is the first true leadership role that every growing group practice anoints, yet it's also the one that is frequently over-promoted. Tune in for this in depth discussion between me and Adin Bradley to hear how he works with clients in a Fractional COO role. You can reach him directly at: Adin@PolarisHealthcarePartners.com
