Send us a textThis episode breaks down how to determine whether your private practice is truly ready for growth by focusing on sustainable, data-driven decision making. Brandon explains that rapid expansion can erode profitability if your payer mix, margins, staffing, or infrastructure can't support it, and that organic growth often outperforms rushed acquisitions. He outlines how to assess market demand, analyze KPIs, review financials, understand your patient census, evaluate risk, and decide whether “the juice is worth the squeeze” before pursuing new locations, services, or investments. The message is simple: know your numbers, know your capacity, and grow only when the growth will actually make you more profitable.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Don Adeesha convenes an expert panel featuring Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gregory Buford, Entrepreneur Tiffany DiGiuseppe, Marketing CEO Naren Arulrajah, and Aesthetic Nurse Sonya Ellis to decode the future of practice growth. The conversation tackles the critical challenge of distinguishing between profitable innovation and "shiny object syndrome." Dr. Buford warns against investing in fleeting "trends" (likening them to Beanie Babies) versus sustainable "trending" technologies. He introduces the powerful strategy of "pre-marketing", generating patient demand and a waitlist six weeks before a device is even purchased, to ensure immediate ROI and prevent expensive equipment from becoming a "coat hanger" in the device graveyard. On the operational and digital front, the discussion shifts to navigating the age of AI. Naren Arulrajah explains that while AI is transforming search, Google still prioritizes "human content" and authority (E-E-A-T) over AI-generated text. He urges owners to abandon vanity metrics like website visits in favor of hard ROI metrics, such as call volume and booking conversions, to survive the rise of "zero-click" searches. Complementing this, Tiffany DiGiuseppe argues that technology fails without culture. She outlines a blueprint for hiring based on core values rather than just clinical skills and retaining top talent through shared experiences and group bonuses that foster collective ownership of the practice's mission. Finally, Sonya Ellis provides a candid look at the changing clinical landscape, noting a significant 15-20% dip in traditional filler usage due to economic shifts. She argues that the future of profitability lies in the pivot toward "regenerative medicine", biostimulators, lasers, and functional health, driven by a patient desire to be "pretty on the inside and out". The panel also explores how to capitalize on the "Ozempic effect," which has surged demand for body tightening and hair restoration, and highlights the massive, underserved potential of the menopausal demographic as a key driver for future revenue.

Why has the profession of optometry had such a complicated relationship with VCPs (vision care plans) over the years? Some practice owners love them. Others despise them. Some practices are on all the panels. Some have intentionally jettisoned themselves from every plan and gone out of network entirely. On this episode, which in a way serves as a follow-up discussion to my conversation with Dr. Chris Smiley, OD (link in the show notes), Dr. Pete Kehoe and I have an engaging and well-rounded discussion about VCPs and the role they can play in running a successful practice—and why it doesn't have to be a choice of embracing VCPs or running a profitable practice. Before we get into today's episode, I want to make something explicitly clear about this conversation: This episode was not sponsored by EyeMed, Pete, or any other entity. I have never—nor will I ever—take a dollar of sponsorship or "pay to play" from a guest. I realize that the profession continues to be divided on this topic, and my singular goal with this episode—and with this show in totality—is to bring the best proven practices, methods, and strategies to help you, the practice owner, run your business as best you can and use the profits from providing value to your patients to ultimately build wealth and achieve financial independence. With that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Pete Kehoe, OD.

If you've ever felt like marketing your therapy practice is confusing, intimidating, or just not your zone of genius, you're not alone. In this episode, I want to help you breathe a little easier about it. Marketing doesn't have to be reactive or overwhelming. It can be intentional, sustainable, and rooted in long-term success for your business and your peace of mind. Whether you're just opening your solo practice, looking to welcome more clients, or scaling into a group practice, my guest Kristie Plantinga and I talk honestly about what actually works when it comes to digital marketing for therapists. You'll hear how to keep your practice visible online, how to think about your return on investment, and which tools can help you track whether your efforts are truly bringing new clients your way. (00:14:21) “It's about, did I get a return on the investment that I put into this? It's the most important thing really, when you're working with a marketing company.” — Kristie Plantinga Kristie is the founder of Place Digital (formerly TherapieSEO) and a passionate advocate for helping therapists understand how online marketing really works. Together, we unpack what private practice owners need to know about SEO, Google Ads, and digital marketing strategy — all from a grounded, therapist-friendly perspective. Smart Marketing Strategies for Private Practice Therapists Marketing is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your practice — and it can feel risky when you don't know where to start. In this conversation, we explore how to make wise, informed choices about where to spend your time and money so you can build stability for years to come.

Whether we love it or not, if potential clients can't find you there, your practice is essentially invisible. But there's a catch — Google isn't always a reliable partner for small businesses. Policies change overnight, and as therapists, we're rarely their priority. That's why we talk about investing in your marketing before you need it, rather than reacting when your caseload dips. Sustainable marketing is about planting seeds now for the clients you'll be serving six months from today. Kristie shares her honest take on Google Ads — calling Google “a selfish and unreliable partner” — and explains why SEO is a more sustainable, long-term investment. While ads can create short bursts of visibility, SEO helps you build an online foundation that continually attracts your ideal clients. How Much Should You Really Spend on Marketing? In this episode, Kristie and I walk through what a healthy marketing cycle looks like for different stages of private practice. We talk about setting a budget that feels aligned, tracking what's really working, and investing in strategies that will continue to pay off over time. Marketing decisions made from fear rarely lead to growth that lasts. Instead, we can learn to make calm, confident, and informed choices about where to invest our energy and resources.

Are you one of the practices leaving thousands in potential revenue on the table due to the data we are seeing nationwide?
The sinking feeling of spotting a one-star review for your dental practice is something most of us know all too well. That pit in your stomach, the immediate defensiveness, the late-night rumination—it's a universal experience for dental professionals who pour their hearts into patient care. But what if everything we believe about the impact of negative reviews is wrong?This eye-opening episode challenges conventional wisdom about online reviews by examining what actually happens when businesses face public backlash. Remember when everyone swore they'd never fly United Airlines again after the Dr. David Dao incident in 2017? The outrage was deafening—yet United's revenue actually increased that year. This surprising case study reveals a fundamental truth about consumer behavior: people care far more about their own experiences than someone else's story. Your patients judge you based on how you treat them, not on a stranger's angry review.We dive deep into practical strategies for handling negative reviews and preventing them in the first place. Since roughly 90% of dental practice complaints stem from financial misunderstandings, clear communication about costs becomes essential. You'll learn why sometimes the best response to an unhappy patient is simply offering a refund—the sleep you'll gain is worth far more than the money you might lose. We also cover proven de-escalation techniques, how to craft professional responses to negative reviews, and why measuring meaningful practice metrics matters more than obsessing over star ratings. Whether you're currently dealing with review anxiety or want to prepare for the inevitable criticism that comes with business ownership, this episode provides both the perspective and practical tools to transform how you handle patient feedback forever.Ready to create systems that ensure consistent, exceptional patient experiences?

Are you currently building out your Canadian practice and unsure of how to grow? Or, are you growing your family and having children? How do you manage these two types of growth as a business partner and new parent? In this episode, my guest Kayleen talks about how she places community above competition. We discuss how her value-driven approach to running her practice brought back most of her interns as associates, how she managed planning for maternity leave as a busy practice owner, and her tidbits of advice for listeners. MEET KAYLEEN Kayleen is an RP and cofounder of Roots in Wellness, a group therapy practice in Hamilton, Ontario. She is a validated clinical supervisor with the OAMHP and a council member for the CRPO. Kayleen is passionate about perinatal mental health and helping both clients and supervisees through the transition of parenthood. She is a mama of three littles herself, and a lover of all things nature! Learn more about Kayleen on her practice website, LinkedIn, and Instagram profiles In this episode: What are the OAMHP and CRPO? Managing a private practice while being a committee member Growing a private practice Planning a maternity leave? Mistakes made and lessons learned Advice for listeners What are the OAMHP and CRPO? The OAMHP stands for the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals, and the CRPO stands for the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario! Kayleen has been a council member of the CRPO since 2024, but has been working for them since 2019. Managing a private practice while being a committee member Between her commitments to her roles within the CRPO and the OAMHP and running her own Canadian private practice, Kayleen definitely has a lot on her plate! Before the beginning of her private practice journey, Kayleen graduated in 2014 and started working at an agency for a number of years. It was demanding work with a lot of travel and tough cases, and even though Kayleen learned a lot from that experience, she knew at the time that it wasn't something she would do forever. Growing a private practice Kayleen jokes that the growth snuck up on them over time. Initially, in 2019, Kayleen started supervising and took on her first student. This opened up a whole new world for her, as she loved being a supervisor and enjoyed the practice, because many of the interns ended up coming back to work at the practice full-time. Kayleen still sees clients, although she spends more time networking and opening up her practice to the community in new ways - like with a book club! Planning a maternity leave? One of the many tips that Kayleen would give you when it comes to preparing for maternity leave is to give yourself a hefty dose of grace! She also recommends being flexible. Understand that there are many ways of going about maternity leave, so you don't have to do it the same way that other people in different jobs do. Mistakes made and lessons learned Along the way, some of the most prominent lessons that Kayleen learned include: The importance of having boundaries around your notifications and not always being accessible or available. Get admin help sooner than you think you need it! To stop putting so much pressure on yourself to make it as big or successful as soon as possible. Put boundaries down with yourself, and allow yourself to rest as well. Put some money away into an emergency savings fund. Advice for listeners Value your community over competing with them!

Show Highlights Include: -The defining lines between practitioner, business owner, and enterprise - risk, control, and who pays the rent. -Why choosing a new firm should solve for tomorrow, not just today's pain point. -Scale comes from systems, automation, and delegation (think “Who Not How”) - not from doing more yourself. -Act “as if” now: build processes at $800k that can carry you to multiples of that revenue. -Inorganic growth tips: start smaller on your first deal and look for conversion opportunities in transaction-heavy books. -Matching your vision to the right platform (including enterprise/OSJ models) and the size of the “pond” you're fishing in. Advisors often chase short-term fixes and then outgrow their platform. Frank and Stacey show how clarifying your end state first informs smarter decisions on staffing, tech, firm selection, and acquisitions - so you don't have to move twice.

You're frantically preparing for client sessions again, convinced you need the perfect protocol and flawless notes to be "ready." I get it—so many dietitians tell me they feel unprepared, like they need everything mapped out perfectly before they can show up confidently for their clients. But here's what I know after working with hundreds of nutrition professionals: you're already more prepared than you think. That feeling of "I need to have it all figured out" is actually keeping you from accessing your greatest asset, your inner wisdom and professional intuition. What if I told you that your best client sessions might happen when you trust yourself enough to let go of the script and tap into what you already know? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this raw, unscripted episode, I'm sharing why trusting your inner wisdom as a dietitian changes everything, from how you show up with clients to how fulfilled you feel in your career. This is for experienced nutrition professionals who are tired of over-preparing and ready to step into the confidence that comes from trusting their expertise. Here's the breakdown: Why over-preparing for client sessions might be holding you back from your best work How to distinguish between evidence-based practice and trusting your professional intuition (spoiler: you need both) The connection between teaching intuitive eating and trusting your career intuition Why seeing yourself as a healer, not just a nutrition expert, transforms your entire practice How the nutrition profession is evolving and why your unique gifts matter more than ever What it means to honor your inner wisdom in your career decisions Why business as usual won't work in 2025 and beyond RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 229: Becoming a Visionary Episode 168: Your Inner Glass Ceiling CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: christine@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Community: Join 1200+ dietitians in The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Trust Yourself This Week Choose one client interaction where you'll trust your expertise instead of over-preparing.
