What makes a successful healthcare practice owner walk away from everything they built?

In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Dr. Erin Holder shares the incredible story of building a seven-doctor veterinary practice from scratch, surviving the 2008 financial crisis, navigating COVID, and ultimately making the life-changing decision to sell her practice.

You'll learn:

• Why most practice sales have nothing to do with money
• The financial mistakes nearly every healthcare owner makes
• How better financial advisors and accountants changed everything
• What burnout really looks like behind the scenes
• How private equity acquisitions actually work
• Lessons every veterinarian, physical therapist, optometrist, dentist, and healthcare practice owner should know before selling.

If you're building your practice for long-term wealth—not just income—this episode is packed with lessons that could save you years of frustration.

Your practice isn't just a business—it's your greatest wealth-building asset.

The Financial Beast Podcast helps healthcare practice owners build wealth, improve cash flow, prepare for successful exits, and create financial freedom.
