Most physicians starting a private practice ask the wrong question first. They want to know how much to charge, which model to use, or whether they should offer memberships, packages, or fee for service.

Those are not the right starting points.

In this episode, I explain the real questions you must answer before you choose a business model for your private practice. You will learn how to identify the specific person you serve, clarify the problem you solve, understand the timeline of transformation, and choose a model that aligns with both your patient’s needs and your own life.

If you want a practice that is profitable, sustainable, and emotionally manageable, this episode will help you build it from the foundation up.

In this episode of It’s Not Just You, I’m joined by Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice otolaryngologist, podcast host, and physician advocate who’s helping doctors find their voice in public spaces. Dr. Block is passionate about helping clinicians show up boldly and authentically outside the exam room.

Our conversation covers the vulnerability and discomfort that can come with public visibility, especially for physicians who’ve long been told to “just stick to medicine.” We talk about how and why doctors should lean into storytelling, how imposter syndrome shows up when hitting publish, and the power of reclaiming your narrative.

Join us as we discuss:

• What inspired Dr. Block to begin podcasting and why he believes every physician has a story to tell
  
  
• The challenges physicians face when stepping into public platforms
  
  
• Why he believes our credibility is built through honesty—not perfection
  
  
• How physicians can balance vulnerability with professionalism
  
  
• The community he’s building to support others doing this work
  
  

Dr. Block brings humor, humility, and practical advice to this conversation. Whether you’re a seasoned physician or just starting to think about public engagement, you’ll walk away feeling seen, inspired, and maybe even ready to hit record.

You can find Dr. Bradley Block at Physician Guide to Doctoring.
