Practice ownership comes with a unique paradox: the autonomy you fought for also means carrying the full weight of clinical work, business management, and leadership. In this episode, Tracy breaks down the World Health Organization's three-phase burnout framework and reveals why nearly half of all physicians are experiencing burnout symptoms—and what makes practice owner burnout distinctly different and dangerous.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The WHO's three phases of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy—and why recognizing which phase you're in determines what help you need  Why American culture makes Phase 1 exhaustion nearly impossible to recognize (hint: we've been conditioned to see depletion as a badge of honor)  The shocking global statistics: from 43% burnout rates in the US to 66% emotional exhaustion among Portuguese physicians  Why practice owner burnout can't be solved with employed physician solutions—you can't "delegate up" when you ARE the up  Real examples of what each phase looks like: from sitting in your driveway without energy to enter your home, to thinking cynical thoughts that horrify you  The $4.6 billion annual cost of physician burnout to the US healthcare system—and the incalculable personal cost to you, your practice, and your family  Why autonomy alone isn't enough: the protection it provides versus the isolation and weight it creates  Memorable Quotes  "Burnout is not a personal failing. It's a predictable occupational phenomenon with identifiable phases."  "Phase one exhaustion is your prevention opportunity. This is where you still have an easy exit ramp. If you catch yourself and actually address it—not by doubling down, but by making strategic changes—prevention strategies actually work."  "You can't think your way out of cynicism using the same thinking that got you there."  "Your practice will survive a few weeks without you, but you might not survive continuing to push through phase three."  "When you're the owner, you can't just leave. Your practice is your livelihood, your investment, and your legacy."  "You are not broken. You are not weak. You are responding predictably to chronic stress that hasn't been successfully managed."  Closing  Understanding burnout isn't about labeling yourself—it's about getting clear on what level of support you actually need. Whether you're in the prevention zone, need intervention, or are facing a crisis, there's a path forward. Join us next episode as we dive into the strategic prevention approaches that work specifically for independent practice owners.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

In this candid snack episode, Tracy sits in the interview seat as Miranda explores the practical reality of AI for private practices. Following Tracy's conversation with David Herman about AI in dental marketing, this episode addresses what practice owners are really asking about AI implementation, where these tools genuinely help, and the critical questions to ask before investing time and resources. Tracy shares insights from a recent burnout workshop with Silicon Valley physicians and offers a framework for thinking strategically about technology that supports—rather than replaces—human connection in healthcare.  Click here for full show notes  Episode Highlights  AI's real role in healthcare: Where these tools genuinely help (administrative tasks, scribing) versus where physicians have serious concerns (primary care AI models)  The "band-aid on a fixed system" reality: Why AI tools can reclaim time but don't address the systemic commodification of healthcare delivery  Implementation without drowning: Tracy's framework for introducing new technology when you're already stretched thin, including the time leadership quadrant approach  Real physician experiences: Stories from Tracy's primary care doctor and Miranda's daughter's cardiologist about AI scribing tools reclaiming 3-4 hours weekly  The marketing-systems connection: Why beautiful marketing campaigns fail when practices lack the infrastructure to handle increased inquiry volume  Questions to ask before implementing AI: What end result you want, how to ensure HIPAA compliance, where volume will come from, and whether your team is resourced for success  Memorable Quotes  "It's not about fear of being replaced, it's fear about causing harm."  "The system isn't broken—it's fixed. One quarter of a degree at a time, the temperature has been increased to the point where it became normalized."  "These people go to school for 8, 12 or more years to practice medicine and are now well paid but not well enough for the amount of hours they put in—business administrators, basically admin paper pushers."  "We want all of our providers to be well rested, to have bandwidth, to not have to be reactive all the time. We want that as patients."  "If we're not going to be human, then what's the point?"  "Our clients do not love slowing down, but it's the way that we can gain clarity."  Closing  AI represents both genuine opportunity and potential pitfall for independent practices. The key lies not in whether to adopt these tools, but in approaching implementation with clear strategic thinking about your desired outcomes, team capacity, and practice ecosystem. Before investing in any AI solution, take time to work on your business from that essential 30,000-foot view—because technology without strategy is just expensive noise.  Listen to David Herman: AI in Healthcare: How Technology Makes Patient Care More Human, Featuring David Herman, EP 207  Is your practice growth-ready?

This week, we interviewed Ken Sher, who is an Executive Coach, Career Coach, Keynote Speaker, and, most recently, an author. Ken spent more than 25 years at Johnson & Johnson in leadership roles across Sales, Marketing, Recruiting, Training, and Leadership Development. Through his experience, Ken has seen that technical skills alone don't make leaders successful. The best leaders are compassionate, authentic, and know how to build strong, trusting relationships that help teams thrive. He brings these lessons to life in his book, What's TRUST Got to Do with It? Transforming Leadership, Culture, and the Job Search, where he shows how trust becomes the foundation for meaningful relationships and how those relationships drive results.  

Episode Summary In this powerful and practical conversation, Jasmine Womack sits down with Dr. Rhonda Anderson—Talent Development Strategist, Executive Coach, Corporate Trainer, and Author of The Influential Leader Blueprint. After a sudden layoff, Dr. Anderson faced a pivotal decision: return to the job hunt or bet on herself. She chose the latter, and within a year, wrote a transformational leadership book, built a strong B2B brand, secured speaking engagements, and landed multiple 5-figure and 6-figure corporate contracts. This episode walks listeners through her journey from fear to full-time entrepreneurship, the mindset shifts required, and how writing a high-quality book positioned her as a sought-after leadership expert. If you're a professional sitting on expertise, struggling to pick a niche, or unsure how to stand out in a crowded industry, this conversation will shift how you think about thought leadership, content creation, and monetizing your knowledge. Memorable Quotes “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” – Dr. Anderson “I didn't want to be the entrepreneur who was all over the place. Master the one thing first.” – Dr. Anderson “Subject matter experts put out content. You have to show up for people to consider you an expert.” – Jasmine Womack “Just because you wrote the book doesn't mean success will come. You have to put in the work.” – Dr. Anderson “The best marketer wins — not always the most qualified person.” – Jasmine Womack “Be bold enough to build your own table. Don't wait for someone to tap you.” – Dr. Anderson Key Takeaways Betting on yourself requires courage, but staying stuck changes nothing. Focusing on one niche builds clarity, credibility, and confidence. A well-written book positions you as an expert and opens B2B doors. Consistent content creation builds visibility and attracts opportunities. Curriculum-based programs create transformation and lead to high-value contracts. Marketing isn't instant — it's a commitment that compounds over time. Accountability and community accelerate growth in entrepreneurship. Corporate clients value expertise, structure, and clear solutions. Visibility beats perfection — show up even when it feels uncomfortable.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comEver feel you are getting penalized at work – not getting promoted, not being listened to, not being seen as a leader – because of your accent? “Accent bias” is very real, says Peter Novak, but his prescriptions on how to overcome that bias – and elevate yourself – may surprise you.

In this candid snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the research behind their white paper, "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners." Tracy reveals a startling discovery: the largest burnout studies—including the AMA's 18,000-respondent survey—systematically exclude private practice owners, focusing exclusively on employed physicians in large systems. This two-year-old research remains urgently relevant as healthcare continues evolving post-COVID. Tracy shares surprising insights from provider interviews, explains why the distinction between working in versus on your practice matters, and offers realistic expectations for reclaiming your time through strategic business planning.  Click here for full show notes  Download the White Paper: “Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners”  Episode Highlights  The Missing Data: Why major burnout studies exclude independent practice owners and what this means for healthcare policy  Lower Burnout Rates: Evidence that practice owners experience slightly lower burnout rates due to greater autonomy—but remain at significant risk  COVID's Impact: How the pandemic intensified an already urgent workplace crisis that the WHO identified as early as 2019  Refreshing Candor: The surprisingly honest conversations practice owners had about their biggest frustrations (insurance companies top the list)  Working In vs. On: The critical difference between clinical tasks and strategic leadership—and why the 10,000-foot view matters  The Long Game: Why meaningful time recapture takes 3-6 months of consistent effort and why it's worth the investment  Healthcare Is Different: Why business principles apply to medical practices with crucial distinctions that generic business advice misses  Memorable Quotes  "I don't believe to this day, even two years on, that the data is actually very clear about practice owners."  "The burnout rates are lower because practice owners have more autonomy, comma, and they're still at risk at pretty much the same rates."  "Practice owners are the redheaded stepchild of burnout research."  "What surprised me was how candid they were as soon as we could get them to talk."  "Business is business, comma, and it's just different in healthcare. And we get that because we work in it with you."  "Everything you're doing now, if it's going to be an adjustment, it's going to take time to come back, but it's so worth the investment of time and energy."  Closing  This conversation underscores why advocacy for independent practice ownership remains central to our mission.

Independent healthcare practices are at a critical crossroads. Based on original research from Tracy Cherpeski International's white paper "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners," this episode reveals the time crisis threatening independent practice ownership—and the surprising wave of change on the horizon. Tracy shares data showing that practice owners spend up to 35% of their time on administrative tasks, while 80% dream of a future with more strategic freedom. But there's hope: with proven time leadership strategies, practice owners are reclaiming 5-10 hours weekly and building sustainable practices that support both exceptional patient care and quality of life.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The shocking data on how much time practice owners lose to administrative work weekly  Why physician practice ownership dropped 13 percentage points from 2012-2022  The emerging wave of young and mid-career physicians choosing independent practice ownership  Dr. Noah's story: From drowning in admin work to reclaiming his practice and his life  The "garden sunlight" framework for understanding strategic time allocation  What's at stake if we don't support the next generation of practice owners  Proven strategies that help owners reclaim 5-10 hours per week  Memorable Quotes  "The biggest threat to independent healthcare practices isn't private equity buyouts or declining reimbursements—it's how practice owners are spending their time every single week."  "Medical school teaches you how to diagnose and treat patients. It doesn't teach you how to build systems, delegate effectively, or think like a CEO."  "Your time as a practice owner is like sunlight in a garden. If you spread it too thin across every single plant, nothing grows particularly strong."  "We're at an inflection point. And the question is: will these courageous physician entrepreneurs have the support, resources, and business knowledge they need to succeed?"  "Independent healthcare practice ownership doesn't have to be a path to burnout.
