[Thursday Shift]: Am I Too Old to Start a Private Practice

Today’s episode is a little special — it’s my birthday. 🎉

And in honor of that, we’re talking about something I hear all the time from physicians considering private practice: “I’m too old to start now.”

Maybe you’re 40.
Maybe you’re 48.
Maybe you’re 55.

You feel like you missed your window. Like it would’ve been easier 10 years ago. Like starting over now just doesn’t make sense.

In this short Thursday Shift episode, we reframe that thought completely.

You’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.

We’ll talk about:

• Why mid-career physicians often have a strategic advantage
• The math of how much runway you actually have left
• Why clarity and alignment matter more than age
• The real question you should be asking instead

If private practice has been quietly pulling at you, this episode is your reminder: courage doesn’t expire.

And if this podcast has encouraged you at all, I’d be so grateful if you’d leave a review as a birthday gift — it helps more physicians realize that private practice is still possible.
