Friday is going to be a good day!

I have been putting something together that I think is going to add a lot of value for independent practice owners. It is not a book. It is not an event. But it is something I am genuinely fired up about.

More this Friday. Stay close.

Most owners try to fix their numbers before they fix their culture.

That order is backwards.

When your team trusts each other and trusts you, the metrics follow. The patients feel it. So does the bottom line.

Build the people first. Everything else is downstream.

The next Together Experience cohort starts Monday, June 9.

Here is what it is: a small group of practice owners, three evenings together one month apart, working through the team first leadership and metrics that took my practice from a struggling startup to over $4 million.

Here is what it is not: a webinar you half watch with your camera off. Eight seats total. You will talk, you will be heard, and you will leave each session with something to put into practice.

Two time slots to choose from: 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM EST.

The book gave you the why. This is where we build the how, together.

Message me or comment below and I will send you everything you need to know.

When practice owners tell me listening to the book felt like sitting around chatting with me, that is the whole point.

That is also exactly what the Together Experience is.

Three evenings together, one month apart, no slide decks, no script. Just a small group of practice owners working through what is actually keeping them stuck. Eight seats per cohort so everyone gets real airtime.

The next cohort starts Monday, June 9. Sessions at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM EST.

If the book moved you and you are ready to do the work with me directly, this is the front door. DM me, email me, or comment below.

Thank you, Dr. Sutton. This one made my day.

For months, I could not pay myself a dime.

Some months I scraped together $8,000. Other months it was zero. I was working evenings, working Saturdays, chasing every insurance plan and every patient walking through the door. My team was exhausted. My patients could feel the desperation.

Then in 2019 and 2020 I lost three people who meant the world to me. My dad. My brother. My senior partner Jeff Foster.

Life got real, real fast.

I stopped chasing patients and started caring for the people who actually showed up every day to build this thing with me. My team.

That one shift took us from $280K to over $4 million.

Not by working more hours. By working differently.

If you are a practice owner reading this and you are exhausted, you are not the problem. The playbook is. There is a different way, and your team is the answer.

What is one thing your team has been trying to tell you that you have not slowed down enough to hear?

Heart first. Purpose second. Numbers third.

That's the order. Always.

Practice owners — if you've been running a practice that pays the bills but doesn't fill your cup, the order might be off. Want to talk about it? My DMs are open.

Choose Joy.
