So much helpful information

I’ve learned so much about starting a dpc practice just in a week of listening. I definitely recommend everyone in the dpc community to listen.

Inspirational, Transformative

I started listening to this podcast shortly after finding out about the DPC movement. As a pediatrician I never imagined a cash based insurance free practice style could possibly work for me, until I discovered many pediatricians are out there doing it right now. I listened to their stories in this podcast, read books, and joined FB groups and learned as much as I could about DPC. I knew this was what I had to do. And now I’m doing it! This podcast was a huge part of it. My DPC Story truly transformed my career!

Amazing podcast.
