☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Jessica Mendelsohn
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Mendelsohn — family physician, Direct Primary Care pioneer, real estate owner, and founder of multiple businesses in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
Jessica shares her journey from a high-volume hospital system and leadership roles to burning out, pivoting into hospice medicine, and then boldly launching a solo DPC practice in 2019 while raising young children. What started with her scrubbing floors and answering phones has grown into a thriving practice, a medspa, real estate ownership, and a team of nearly 30 people.
We dig into:
- Why Direct Primary Care is a true win-win-win for patients, physicians, and communities
- The mindset shifts required to go from clinician to intentional business owner
- Why failure, grit, and humility are essential parts of the entrepreneurial path
- The power of coaching and surrounding yourself with people further ahead
- Why she wishes she had implemented Traction (EOS) earlier
This conversation is honest, grounded, and full of hard-won wisdom for any doctor thinking about ownership and autonomy.
