    Use AI or be used by AI

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Una breaks down her five laws of profitable AI use — the framework she uses to ensure AI serves her business without becoming a distraction. 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call  AI is moving fast. But speed in the wrong direction doesn't help anyone. In this episode, Dr. Una shares the five laws she personally follows to make sure every AI tool she adopts is pulling her business forward. She opens with the distinction that changed how she thinks about all of it: there's a difference between learning AI and leveraging AI — and confusing the two is costing physician entrepreneurs real money and real time. Law by law, she walks through the framework. AI must serve the vision (meaning you stay the visionary — not the tool). It must generate a return on attention, which she makes concrete with a simple hourly rate calculation any CEO can run. It must get you results faster, it must do things cheaper, and it must give you capacity you didn't already have. She backs each one with specific examples: how she trained a Claude project to write in her voice, how she built an AI-powered data analyst to crunch years of collected survey data, how she created a slide generator, an HR department, and 19 AI employees to work alongside a team of six humans. This isn't a conversation about what AI might do someday. It's a practical episode for physician entrepreneurs who want to use the tools that exist right now without losing their focus, their voice, or their direction. Tune in and get inspired!

    Real Doctors. Real Results. Inside the EntreMD Business School

    Send us Fan Mail 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call  Four physician entrepreneurs share what changed when they stopped waiting and said yes — plus the real numbers behind the EntreMD Business School's 2025 results. Most physicians know they want more. More time, more revenue, more freedom in how they practice. In this special live episode, Dr. Una opens the doors to the EntreMD Business School and lets four members share exactly what happened when they committed to building the business and life they actually wanted. Dr. Hanta Shepherd, a urologist, launched her own private practice within six months of joining EBS. Dr. Carolyn Moyers, a gynecologist, rejoined in 2025 — not to fix her business, but to become a better leader — and grew revenue 41% that year, then another 57% in the first months of 2026. Dr. Stacey Isman, an ENT surgeon and CMO, turned what she called a hobby business into a six-figure company in year one and is now targeting seven figures. Dr. Jennifer Uzo opened her pediatric practice deep in debt with zero patients and zero local reputation, and built a panel of nearly 1,000 patients in 13 months. Dr. Una also walks through the 2025 data from EBS: a $24.8M collective revenue difference, 21% of members crossing seven figures, and 85% taking more than two weeks off — with the highest earners consistently taking more time away, not less. She breaks down the four pillars of the school — becoming a physician entrepreneur, building a number one brand, mastering revenue generation, and leading a profitable team — and shares the three traits that separate the physicians who get the biggest results.

    How to Make This Your Best Quarter Yet

    Send us Fan Mail 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call Four specific areas Dr. Una is working on this quarter — and the real-world data behind why each one moves the needle. Most physicians go into a new quarter the same way they went into the last one. In this episode, Dr. Una breaks down the four areas she's personally focused on heading into Q2 — and what she's doing with her clients inside the EntreMD Business School to make this their strongest quarter yet. This isn't theory. It's the actual plan, backed by real data and real results from the EBS community. She opens with mindset — not as soft work, but as the foundation that either supports or quietly collapses everything else. She makes the case that self-doubt, overwhelm, and imposter syndrome don't disappear as your business grows. They require active work, and the doctors seeing quantum leaps in their businesses are the ones taking that seriously. From there, she moves into time mastery — dismantling the "I don't have time" belief with some striking numbers: 85% of EBS doctors took more than two weeks off in 2025, and the highest earners were also the ones taking the most time away from their desks. The third focus is revenue generation — understanding how to create income on demand the same way physicians are trained to follow a clinical algorithm. Dr. Una shares the kind of results that come when that skill is mastered: 35% of EBS doctors crossed $500K, 21% hit seven figures, and 10% crossed multiple seven figures in 2025 alone. She closes with the power of commonwealth — the idea that your environment isn't just background noise. It shapes what you believe is possible, how fast you move, and ultimately what you build.  Tune in and get inspired! Timestamps: 00:00 Why Dr. Una uses deadlines as a strategic tool — and how you can too  01:45 Why this quarter could be your new year  05:55 From negative to neutral isn't enough — what comes next  06:55 Reinvention by imagination: the EBS framework for mindset  12:10 Everyone has 24 hours. The question is who's using them.  21:00 From $40K to $250K — and how it happened  24:15 Auditing your circle as a business growth strategy  25:30 From side hustle to $1M target  29:00 How to use all four areas to transfor Additional Resources: Learn more about my 12-month program. Interested in 1-on-1 coaching?

    From Zero to $1M: How This Fertility Doctor Built a Thriving Boutique Practice

    Send us Fan Mail 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call Dr. Carolina Sueldo M.D. went from brand new to Fort Lauderdale to $1M in revenue by end of year two — here's exactly how she did it.  You asked for proof that private practice still works. This is it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carolina Sueldo M.D. — double board-certified fertility specialist and founder of Ceibo Fertility Center in Fort Lauderdale — for a conversation that covers the full arc: from deciding to open a solo boutique practice with two toddlers at home and no business background, to hitting seven figures by year two while maintaining a four-day work week. Dr. Sueldo gets honest about the early days — the difficult landlord, the staffing challenges, the competitor who called just to say they were waiting for her to fail — and what it actually took to bounce back and keep building. She walks through how she established herself as an authority in a brand new market, why she went full court press on visibility from day one, and how she thinks about "thoughtful scaling" as Ceibo grows beyond a single location. This episode is a masterclass in what's possible when you stop waiting until you have all the answers and start building the plane while you're flying it. Tune in and get inspired!
