22:03 Peter's Goal for You
At 29 years old, Dr. Peter Wishnie decided to purchase his own practice in New Jersey instead of working for another doctor in Rhode Island, despite having no business experience and starting $300,000 in debt. Initially struggling with a declining patient base and losing $7,500 monthly, he turned to business coaching, implemented new systems, and studied key performance indicators. His dedication paid off, as he surpassed the previous owner's earnings within a year and maintained multiple seven-figure earnings for 30 consecutive years, placing him in the top 1% of his field. After 33 years, Dr. Wishnie sold the practice for $2 million more than the purchase price in 2022, transitioning to help other business owners achieve success while maintaining work-life balance.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
