Listen "4 Years of DPC: What Worked, What Didn’t, and What We Are Still Learning"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we’re joined by my awesome partner, Dr. Rachel Kelly, to take you behind the scenes of building our DPC practice, without a business plan, without a roadmap, and with plenty of trial and error. Together, we share the lessons we’ve learned in resilience and the realization that valuing our time might be the most important shift of all.We talk about…Why “90% of what we’ve done has not worked, and 10% has been successful”The challenges of opening a DPC without a business planHow aesthetics fit into (and sometimes complicate) the DPC modelThe mindset shift of realizing our time is worth somethingThis conversation is honest, unpolished, and packed with wisdom from our real experience. It’s a reminder that the DPC journey isn’t about perfection; it’s about staying committed, learning along the way, and building a practice that truly serves our patients, our families, and ourselves.Resources & MentionsKickstart Accounting - bookkeeping and accounting support for small practices and businessesIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
