EPISODE QUOTES

“What we often say is that, ‘When you own a job, really the job owns you.’ The two step process of having a remarkable practice as part of a remarkable life” (03:06)  

“I wish I was more mindful around what I had learned washing windows going into practice, cause ya know what I did? I reverted back to what I had done before, what I’d been trained in, which is being the owner-operator.” (06:24)  

“I felt like I was trying to get ten pound of shit in a five pound bag every day.” (12:34)

“And that’s where I broke through. And it was literally, I’m need to just focus on creating systems, hire the right people, and commit myself to training and developing these people. Next thing you know, I became a delegation master.” (16:03)  

“The three things that need to change for the CEO is you have to have an identity shift, a perspective shift, and a behavior shift.” (25:31)  

“What practice would you rather buy? Would you rather buy the practice that I ran, when it was on my back and I was carrying seventy-five to eighty percent of the volume and doing all the work?...Or do you wanna buy the practice where I have three associate doctors and their caregivers, and the volume’s spread across all of them?” (27:07)
