In today’s episode, Brad breaks down the uncomfortable truth: you’re not in the healthcare business — you’re in the people business. Inspired by Howard Schultz’s philosophy at Starbucks, this episode dives deep into why patient experience, human connection, and treating people with dignity will grow your practice faster than any marketing hack or payer contract.
Brad shares raw personal stories — from hitting rock bottom as a med student to losing a child — and explains how those moments shaped the culture at Thrive Medical. You’ll hear why empathy creates loyalty, how one waived copay turned into years of referrals, and why giant healthcare systems fail patients while independent practices win.
If you want to create a thriving practice, keep employees for life, and build a brand patients drive hours or even fly across the world to see, this episode will change how you lead.
Topics Covered:
– The Howard Schultz “people business” framework
– Why modern healthcare feels cold, rushed, and transactional
– How emotional connection creates lifelong patients
– The real reason people refer their doctors
– Turning low moments into leadership strengths
– How giving your staff autonomy builds loyalty
– Why culture is your only true competitive advantage
– The long-term ROI of treating people right
Perfect for: private practice physicians, medical entrepreneurs, clinic owners, and anyone tired of assembly-line medicine.

How adding clinicians, after-hours, and cash-pay services can multiply your income
The math behind margins, valuation multiples, and how a bigger clinic becomes exponentially more valuable

How to shift from “lean thinking” to “scale thinking”
What revenue levers you can pull TODAY to grow your practice

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest mindset shifts that helped me scale my private practice: learning to delegate outcomes, not tasks. Most doctors end up micromanaging because they assign small, disconnected duties instead of empowering their team to own results. I’ll share real examples from my own clinic — like how my office manager created a system to prevent no-show patients who already moved away — and how shifting to outcome delegation gave me back time, reduced burnout, and improved both staff and patient satisfaction. If you're a physician looking to build a real business (not just a busier job), this episode is for you.
