The Scope of Practice Podcast

Episode 100 - This is a bittersweet episode for me, since it's going to be my final podcast.  The last 2 years has been a phenomenal journey for all of us. I've gotten emails from so many of you telling me how valuable this content has been, and I'm so grateful to have been part of your journey.  I set out to create a platform to empower physicians to take control of their careers, their families, and their personal finances.  My hope was to embolden you with knowledge and encouragement so you can live your best life on your terms.  Now, after over 75,000 downloads, 100 weekly episodes, and 19 Sunday Specials, I hope I've given you some of those tools that you need.  That's why I'm so excited about today's discussion.  As physicians, I think we know better than anyone else what we need to take care of our patients.  The government isn't coming to help us.  The government is full of people who don't know or can't understand how to care for patients because they've never had to do it.  You're a physician. You should be the one in charge of making decisions for your patients.  If we're going to make that a reality, we have to start by taking charge of ourselves.    Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show! It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you're in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage.  A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time.  This course is just a fraction of that cost and you can complete it on your own time!The course is also eligible for CME credits, so you can use your employer's CME funds to sign up.Registration for the course is open NOW! FREE disability quotes from Physician Financial Services: www.physicianfinancialservices.comFree Resource: 32 Easy Ways to Recognize Your Team MembersJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Most physicians and dentists come out of training programs with a huge amount of personal debt and little to no idea of how to actually run a clinical practice.  This Facebook community is for anyone who wants to learn more about how to manage their business more successfully and master their personal finances.

 Episode 98 -When did the phrase, “I'm busy” become a badge of honor?  I've been wrestling with this lately.  When did we get to a point when someone asks “How's it going?” and we reply “It's busy” like it's something we're proud of?  I think part of it comes from the mistaken impression the busy-ness equals accomplishment. It's all too easy for us to get caught up in the idea that being busy means we're getting stuff done, or that we're accomplishing everything we want to do.  Sometimes being busy just means running around putting out fires and never getting to the things that actually matter to you. Today's guest is going to teach us how to get “un-busy” so we can reclaim our time and our sanity and make room for the things that are truly important to us. It's time to get Unbusy. Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show!It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you're in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   The course is also eligible for CME credits, so you can use your employer's CME funds to sign up.Registration for the course is open NOW!  FREE disability quotes from Pearson Ravitz: www.pearsonravitz.comPearson Ravitz has an amazing platform for helping doctors easily navigate the world of disability insurance.  They can find you true "own-occupation" disability insurance in minutes, and it's completely free to get the quotes! Free Resource: 5 Critical Tools for Physician LeadersBuy the book!Join the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!

Episode 87 - Today I'm going to do something a little different.  I'm bringing you two of my most popular talks from the recent Marriage and Money, M.D. Summit.  We had  over 1300 people register for the conference, and the speakers did an absolutely phenomenal job!  Today we ask, "Can you really have it all?"This first conversation is with Drs. Nii and Renée Darko.  They met in medical school and married after a 10-year courtship. When they realized they were drowning in almost $700,000 of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments, they made a pact to pay off their student loan debt in 15 years. In only 3 short years, not only were they free of student loan debt, but during their debt payoff, they cash flowed several rounds of infertility treatments and quit their jobs to become entrepreneurs, starting 3 businesses. Our next speaker is Dr. Kate Mangona.   She and her husband Victor, are active and passive real estate investors in over 3 thousand multifamily units and single-family rentals and they lead a Multifamily Masterclass course where they teach others how to passively invest in real estate to grow their wealth as they sleep. Kate hosts the Medicine, Marriage & Money podcast and leads the Medicine, Marriage, & Money Coaching Program where she helps married women physicians with children spend less time arguing with their spouse, and more time reigniting the sparks once felt during their honeymoon. Click here to download your free CME credits for listening to the show!It's time to Residency-Proof Your Marriage!This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you're in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage.  A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time.  This course is just a fraction of that cost and you can complete it on your own time!The course is also eligible for CME credits, so you can use your employer's CME funds to sign up.Registration for the course is open NOW! Free Resource: 3 Critical Tools to Level Up Your Family's FinancesBuying a house can and should be fun, but you've got to put in the work to do it right.  That's why this week's free resource is so valuable.  It's a pdf download called “3 Critical Tools to Level Up Your Family's Finances.”  It'll help you create an easy budget that actually works, set some reachable financial goals, and communicate with your spouse about money without ending up in another money fight.  That way, you can save up for your house, or any other big purchase and get there with your sanity and your wallet intact.   You can download it for free by clicking here.

From his days as the student body president of his medical school to the teaching awards and randomized control trial publications as an attending physician. He even had a successful online business as a podcaster and course creator.But, on the inside, he was miserable. He constantly felt stuck. Burned out and overwhelmed, he kept looking for the next accomplishment or achievement to make him happy.Dr. Turner didn't realize until much later that there is a name for this. It is called an Arrival Fallacy – The idea that the “next thing” would be what finally makes him happy. He felt trapped in a life he didn't want. It was through mastering his mindset and his financial situation that he was finally able to live his life on his terms. Now, through coaching for physicians, Dr. Turner helps other doctors find the freedom he has found by helping them master their mindset, their money, and their balance. Connect to Dr. Jimmy Tuner Website: www.thephysicianphilosopher.comAlpha Coaching Experience: https://thephysicianphilosopher.com/coaching/

Episode 75 - Evidence-based medicine has been a big focus in the medical field.  If you can't back up a plan with some kind of study or data point, we're going to question whether it's the right plan.  We don't apply that same level of scientific inquiry to all situations though.  Take our businesses for example.  Are you committing yourself to data-backed decision making on a regular basis when it comes to hiring and firing, or taxes, business growth strategies, I think we tend to go with our gut or just try things and see what happens.  There's a place for that, but I think we ignore data a lot of times in our businesses and just act on instinct.  That's why I'm so excited to introduce this week's podcast guest, Dr. Fisayo, Ositelu.Dr. Ositelu is the cofounder and CEO of Gentem Health, a Silicon Valley-based technology company on a mission to help private medical practices stay independent by simplifying, accelerating, and maximizing reimbursements through its platform and service. Dr. Ositelu received his MD and MBA degrees from Stanford School of Medicine and Stanford Graduate School of Business.  Prior to founding Gentem, he worked in healthcare private equity and at the now well-known startup company, NerdWallet.  He's going to talk to us today about how to take our evidence-based strategies that we use in medicine and apply those to our business.  This may sound like a statistics class,  but I promise it's not, so don't tune out.  These techniques we're going to talk about today could save you tens of thousands of dollars just by learning what you need to pay attention to in your business.Special offer from Gentem.com, just for my podcast listeners!Gentem is giving away a free benchmark assessment for anyone listening to this podcast.

Sunday Special 16 - My guest today is Dr. Tolu Olabintan.  She's a family medicine physician and HIV specialist who left her steady job in the middle of the COVID crisis to start her own private practice.  She started out with telemedicine and then launched her in-person private practice this summer.  I'm not sure if there has been a more difficult time to launch a medical practice than the middle of the COVID shutdown, but there can't have been many.  She's dedicated to helping patient both spiritually and physically, and she's bold about speaking the name of Jesus on her website, with her staff, and to her patients.  She's got a unique background and I think her story will really inspire you.  Register for Residency-Proof Your Marriage!This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you're in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage.  A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time.  This course is just a fraction of that cost and you can complete it on your own time!Registration for the beta course is closed, but get on the waitlist for the course launch this fall! Email Dr. Brent Lacey for help with career or personal finance coaching or to contribute to The Body of Christ devotional series. Free Resource: The Body of Christ - A 14-day devotional series for healthcare professionalsThis is a medically-themed devotional series with Bible passage discussion, reflection questions, prayers, and action steps to take each day.  It's a great series, and you can download it for free below.Also, we are expanding The Body of Christ to a full 90-day series, and we are now accepting submissions from guest authors for the devotional series.  If you want to contribute to the series and write some of the devotionals, please let me know!  Guest authors get full attribution and promotion for their business, blog, or podcast.  You can email me at info@thescopeofpractice.com.

Episode 74 - My guest today is Dr. David Geier.  Dr. Geier is an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist who helps athletes and active people feel and perform their best regardless of age or injuries. In addition to helping patients in his practice, Dr. Geier has learned to help people around the country and world through TV, radio, podcast, newspaper, magazine and online media interviews. Now he helps physicians and other experts with a message to share grow their practices and businesses by serving as an expert in the media.  It is death to your practice to have no media strategy or a lousy media strategy.  And the truth is, this stuff just isn't that hard.  Like anything, there's a skill set to pick up, and Dr. Geier is going to help us put that together.It's ok if you have no interest in getting interviewed on CNN or even on your local ABC affiliate.  If you never go on a podcast, that's just fine.  But, as Dr. Geier says, your ability to show up strong in the media can be really helpful to your business and in turn will translate to opportunities to help more patients that find you just because you were on an interview.  If you're thinking of branching out into the media, I'd encourage you to start small.  Start with your local newspaper or other small-time publication.  It's low-risk, low-cost or no-cost, and it'll help you get over the apprehension of doing it for the first time.  As you get more interviews and start to build some confidence, start branching out and doing more interviews.  Pretty soon, you'll be a veteran. It just takes that very first time to get started.Free Resource: Creating a One-Liner that Will Kickstart Your Business' GrowthFor today's free resource, I'm giving you a free guide to help you create one small change that will yield big results.  It's called, “Creating a One-Liner that Will Kickstart Your Business' Growth.”  This is a 3 step guide to creating a powerful one-liner for physicians that attracts and retains more customers.  You can download it for free by clicking here.Special offer from Gentem.com, just for my podcast listeners!Click here to watch my recent webinar called, “Smart Strategies for Building a Successful Clinical Practice," for free!  Gentem is giving away a free benchmark assessment for anyone listening to this podcast.

Episode 73 - You know, I tried to do accounting in college, and I absolutely hated it.  It's just not fun for me.  Taxes are in that same category.  I just despise dealing with taxes. It's frustrating and it's complicated, and it changes all the time.  But, taxes are a certainty in life and in business, so I've had to figure out a way to be able to get good at it.  Still, it's a major blind spot for me.  Business can be like that, with blind spots. Things that we're just not good at.  Blind spots are inevitable.  Knowing that, we've got to figure out how to identify those blind spots and figure out ways to work through those.  Otherwise, we run the risk of having weaknesses in our business that can eventually unravel everything we've been working for. My guest today is Courtney DeRonde.  She's a CPA and the founder of TPT Advisors.  I'm excited to have Courtney here to talk about taxes and other blind spots in our business and how to overcome them.  This is an important topic for any business leader.Free Resource: The Scope of Practice Reading ListThis week's free resource is a pdf download called “The Scope of Practice Reading List”.

Episode 65 - I'm going to mix it up a little bit today.  I recently hosted a webinar where I gave a presentation called "Smart Strategies for Building a Successful Clinical Practice." (Click here to view the webinar)  We had hundreds of attendees, and it was still just a fraction of this podcast audience.  I got so much great feedback about the value of the content that I thought I would just share it here with you!  The webinar host was Omar Khateeb of Gentem Health.  You may remember his great talk on branding in episode 57, which you should definitely go listen to.  I'm interested in trying some new things with the podcast to give you even more value with every episode.  I'd love to hear feedback from you about this podcast style.  If this is something that really works for you, let me know, and I'll do more.  If not, well, we'll file this under “been there, done that.”  You can email me at podcast@thescopeofpractice.com and let me know what you thought.  In this episode, we explore strategies for building a successful clinical practice using a framework I call the "Honeycomb of Success."  These six areas of your clinical practice will help you grow, refine, and scale your practice if you tend to them well.  Enjoy!Special offer from Gentem.com, just for my podcast listeners!  Gentem is giving away a free benchmark assessment for anyone listening to this podcast.

Episode 64 - My guest on the podcast today is Dr. Marla Ranieri.  She's a physical therapist and former competitive gymnast who started a telemedicine company a few years ago, and it just expoded during the pandemic.  While the rest of us were scrambling to figure out how to do telemedicine and integrate it into our practice, she was already working on perfecting the system to make it safe, efficient, and a comfortable experience for providers and patients.  Telemedicine probably won't be 100% of your clinical practice, but I really think telemedicine is here to stay.  You need to know how to incorporate it into your practice.  There are real advantages to you, but the truth is that consumer demands are going to increase the use of telemedicine in the years to come.  It's an evolving technology, and I'm glad we have an expert here to tell us about it.Special offer from Gentem.com, just for my podcast listeners!  Gentem is giving away a free benchmark assessment of your revenue cycle for anyone listening to this podcast.

Episode 62 - My guest on the podcast today is Stacy Sherman.  Stacy is an expert in the "customer experience."  One of the first things we actually talk about in the conversation is the difference between customer service and the customer experience.  The customer experience is a more all-encompassing idea that includes every touchpoint for the patient or customer from hearing about your practice or your business until they receive the service you provide, pay for it, and beyond.  As business owners and business leaders, we have to be aware that in a free market system, people have choices, and they will exercise those choices by going wherever they want to get the goods or services you desire.  You can beat your competition simply by offering a better experience, and as Stacy will tell you, it's not nearly as complicated or difficult as it might sound. Register for Residency-Proof Your Marriage!I'm excited to tell you about a new online course I'm launching called “Residency-Proof Your Marriage.”  I've seen way too many couples get divorced or see their relationships go sour during their medical career.  This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you're in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   I'm looking for 15 couples to sign up for the beta version of the course.  You'll get full access to the course at the lowest price it'll ever be offered.  The price is $69 for students and trainees, and only $99 for practicing physicians, a fraction of the cost of a weekend marriage retreat. Registration closes on June 14th, so sign up today!For this course, you'll get all the great content in the course for a fraction of the price and you complete it on your own time as your schedule allows.  Click here to sign up today.  We're limiting the signups initially to 15 couples, so sign up today.     Resources mentioned in the episode:Free pdf guide: 32 Easy Ways to Celebrate Your Team MembersJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Check out the Doctor Podcast Network!: Click here and come check out the great podcasts that are a part of the network.  One-on-one personal finance and business coaching: Click here and email me to set up a free consultation today!Check out the additional free resources available at The Scope of Practice!Business management resourcesPersonal finance resourcesPodcasting resourcesRecommended online coursesRecommended books

Episode 61 - My guest on the podcast today is Dr. Sogol Pahlavan.  She’s a private practice pediatrician in Houston, TX.  She has been in private practice for over a decade, growing the business steadily from 2 physicians to 8 physicians, dozens of staff, and over 10,000 patients.  And, she did this all by bootstrapping it.  She had no formal training in business, no MBA, but she did it anyway.  As she’ll tell you, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.  There were some serious challenges along the way.  She’s going to tell us all about it in this week’s episode.  This is the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Private Practice, and it doesn’t get more real than this. So, I just have to ask.  If Dr. Pahlavan can build a thriving private practice in a big city dominated by a giant healthcare organization, and do it all with no formal training, why can’t you do it?  I’m telling you, it is still possible to start and grow a private practice today.  I hear stories about it from physicians all the time.  There are hundreds of physicians starting, growing, or rehabilitating their practices all the time.  As Dr. Pahlavan says, it is not only possible, it’s IMPERATIVE that we all as physicians take control of our businesses and our clinical practices to make them the best they can be.  If we don’t, we're in danger of losing the opportunity to a big corporation that’ll come along and take over and leave us out of the loop.Sign up for the "Smart Strategies for Building a Successful Clinical Practice" Webinar: Click here!Register for the beta launch of Residency-Proof Your Marriage!I'm excited to tell you about a new online course I'm launching called “Residency-Proof Your Marriage.”  I’ve seen way too many couples get divorced or see their relationships go sour during their medical career.  Medical training is an inherently divisive time, so you have to work to combat that!  This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time.  Whether you’re in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.   I’m looking for 15 couples to sign up for the beta version of the course.  You’ll get full access to the course at the lowest price it’ll ever be offered.  We’ll also ask you for feedback periodically throughout the course to help us make the course even better.  The price is $69 for students and trainees, and only $99 for practicing physicians.  This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage.  A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time.  For this course, you’ll get all the great content in the course for a fraction of the price and you complete it on your own time as your schedule allows.  Click the link in the podcast description or go to www.thescopeofpractice.com/marriagecourse to sign up today.  We’re limiting the signups initially to 15 couples, so sign up today.  Again, just click the link in the podcast description or go to www.thescopeofpractice.com/marriagecourse to sign up today.   

Episode 60 - My guest on the podcast today is Lance Black.  He’s the outgoing Associate Director for Innovation of the Texas Medical Center, now Senior Medical Director  for 3ive Labs.  This conversation really took me by surprise.  He’s a world-class expert on medical innovation, but what I found surprising was how many facets of medical innovation are open to the average physician, whether that’s through developing a medical device, coming up with a non-medical innovation that helps your administrative costs and clinical efficiency, or investing in medical innovation startups.  No kidding, I really think you’re going to enjoy this.  I learned a ton, and the conversation really helped me see through some different aspects of medical innovation that I’m actually excited to get into.  I hope this conversation inspires you to go out and set the world on fire (metaphorically speaking).  What idea do you have that is just waiting to be unleashed?Resources mentioned in the showFree Resource: Creating a One-Liner that Will Kickstart Your Business' GrowthJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Check out the Doctor Podcast Network!: Click here and come check out the great podcasts that are a part of the network.  One-on-one personal finance and business coaching: Click here and email me to set up a free consultation today!Check out the additional free resources available at The Scope of Practice!Business management resourcesPersonal finance resourcesPodcasting resourcesRecommended online coursesRecommended books

Episode 59 - My guest on the podcast today is April Rhoads.  April is a clinical efficiency expert and now the founder of a new non-profit organization called Stop the Burnout.  I’m excited for her to come on the show to talk about how to maximize clinical efficiency.  It’s funny, I thought this episode was going to be be like in the movie Office Space when the two consultants come in and everyone's basically interviewing for their jobs, but we went in several different directions than I thought.  My hands were cramping from all the notes I was writing on the great stuff we talked about.  This was a truly fantastic conversation.  You’ll probably want to bookmark this episode and come back to it later.  I guarantee that you'll find things to make your business run better and more efficiently if you listen to this episode.Resources mentioned in the showFree Resource: The 10 Day Simple Clinic MakeoverJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Check out the Doctor Podcast Network!: Click here and come check out the great podcasts that are a part of the network.  One-on-one personal finance and business coaching: Click here and email me to set up a free consultation today! Check out the additional free resources available at The Scope of Practice!Business management resourcesPersonal finance resourcesPodcasting resourcesRecommended online coursesRecommended books

Episode 58 - My guest on the podcast today is Ryan Inman.  Long-time listeners may remember him from episode 25 where we talked about how to have healthy money conversations with your spouse that don’t end in a fight.  He’s a fee-only financial planner who works exclusively with physicians.  His wife is a physician in the U.S. Navy, and he really understands the unique financial challenges that physicians face.  You may know him from his incredibly well-read blog and popular podcast, both called Financial Residency.  On this episode, we talk all things mortgages.  How much house can you afford, what’s the right time to buy a house, and what in the world is a physician mortgage loan?  We’ll talk about all that and more.  If you’re ever  planning to buy or sell a house, this is a conversation for you.   Resources mentioned in the show:Free Resource: 3 Critical Tools to Level Up Your Family's FinancesJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Check out the Doctor Podcast Network!: Click here and come check out the great podcasts that are a part of the network. One-on-one personal finance and business coaching: Click here and email me to set up a free consultation today! Check out the additional free resources available at The Scope of Practice!Business management resourcesPersonal finance resourcesPodcasting resourcesRecommended online coursesRecommended books
