185. Building Business Connections: The Key to Thriving in Private Practice with Steph Korpal & Christy Pennison

Growing a private practice can be incredibly rewarding—but it can also feel really lonely. 

When you’re the one making all the decisions, managing a team, and trying to grow your business, it’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. 

And without a trusted community to lean on, progress often feels slow, confusing, and more challenging than it needs to be.

In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, host Daniel Fava chats with two powerhouse group practice owners, Christy Pennison and Steph Korpal, who know firsthand how transformational it can be to have the right people in your corner. 

As the co-founders of The Practice Collab, Christy and Steph are on a mission to help practice owners find connection, collaboration, and clarity through community.

They dive into the power of building meaningful business relationships, joining mastermind groups, and having honest conversations with people who just get it. 

Whether you're just starting to grow your team or already leading a multi-location practice, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to figure everything out alone—and in fact, you’ll go further, faster, when you don’t.

Key Takeaways

• Connection Fuels Growth: Success in private practice doesn’t have to happen alone. Community and collaboration can unlock new ideas, solutions, and energy.

• Support Builds Resilience: Having trusted peers can make all the difference when facing emotional and logistical challenges as a business owner.

• Implementation is Key: Don’t just learn—act. Change happens when you take what you’ve learned and immediately apply it to your business.

• Every Practice is Unique: There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. The best advice takes your specific context into account.
