Many podiatrists assume their practice will carry them into retirement, until they realize too late that intention matters. This episode challenges common assumptions and reframes retirement planning as a way to create options, not pressure.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial Podiatrist, hosts Dr. Andrew Schneider and Greg Hardy, CFP®, AEP®, unpack what retirement planning really looks like for independent podiatry practice owners. Together, they explore why waiting too long can limit flexibility, how overvaluing a practice can derail long-term plans, and what it actually takes to build financial confidence without losing focus on growth today.
