    271. 5 Moves to Win Your First Year of Ownership
    Aug 18 2025

    Buying a practice can feel like stepping onto a moving treadmill set at full speed. Most new owners scramble to fix the wrong problems, burn out their team, and miss the opportunities right in front of them.

    In this episode, Derek shares the five action items that separate thriving first-year owners from the ones barely keeping up. These aren’t theory — they’re hard-won lessons from his own journey and from coaching over 50 dentists through acquisitions. One of them might be the very thing you’re overlooking right now.
