The Hidden Risk in Private Practice, And How to Plan for It (Ep. 9)

What happens to your practice if you can’t show up tomorrow? It’s a question most podiatrists avoid, but one that can shape everything you’ve built.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial Podiatrist, hosts Dr. Andrew Schneider and Greg Hardy, CFP®, AEP® break down the real role of life and disability insurance in protecting not just your income, but your entire practice. From unexpected injuries to long-term planning, they explore how risk shows up in ways you can’t predict, and why having the right coverage in place matters more than most realize.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why disability insurance is often the first priority for practice owners
• The difference between personal income protection and business overhead coverage
• How much coverage you may actually need, and why it’s rarely 100%
• What “own occupation” means and why it matters for podiatrists
• And more!
