    Episode 99: Costs Are Rising. What Practice Owners Should Do Next.
    Apr 1 2026

    Everything is getting more expensive. Rent, consumables, insurance, fuel, wages. And it's not slowing down.

    Interest rates are likely heading up. Patients are starting to pull back. Staff are feeling the pinch personally and some are quietly looking at their options.

    This is the episode for Practice Owners who want to get ahead of it rather than react when it's too late. Todd and Sachin walk through how the current environment is hitting owners, Practices, staff and patients, and what to do about each one.

    What you'll get from this episode:

    • How rising costs, inflation and global uncertainty flow through every layer of your Practice
    • Why now is actually the time to invest, not retreat, and what "strategically contrarian" means in practice
    • How to have the conversation with your team before they come to you asking for more
    • The whiffle: a simple framework for hearing what's really on your team's mind
    • Why extending hours and going deeper in your community beats cutting back

  • Episode 97: The Most Expensive Room In Your Practice

    Episode 97: The Most Expensive Room In Your Practice
    Mar 18 2026

    It's not the waiting room. It's not your biggest consulting room. It's the one room most Practice Owners never look at financially.

    One owner audited theirs and found a $200,000 annual loss hiding in plain sight. Overstaffed nurses, cupboards full of expired stock, and zero revenue being generated from nurse-led services. Six months later, the loss was eliminated and they were on track for $100K profit from the same room.

    What you'll get from this episode:

    1. Which room is quietly draining your profits and why most owners never notice
    2. How losses of $100K–$200K a year build up without anyone realising
    3. The four moves to stem the bleeding: rostering, stock systems, waste tracking, and task delegation
    4. How to turn nurse-led services into a revenue stream
    5. Why one owner's team went from being a cost centre to saying "this has to be a revenue generating activity"
    6. The consumable charging models that work without patient pushback
