Private Practice Owners Club Life After The Sale: Investing Wisely And Living Well - Nathan Shields’ Appearance On The Financial Beast Podcast
Selling your practice is probably the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make — and once the ink is dry, the hard part begins: where do you invest the proceeds so your future actually works for you?
In this episode of The Financial Beast Podcast, host Eric Miller talks with Nathan Shields — ex-practice owner, real-estate investor, and co-founder of the Private Practice Owners Club — about life after a liquidity event. Nathan breaks down what he did well, the mistakes that cost him, and the operational and tax moves every seller should plan before they list.
They dig into:
- Why owning your clinic real estate can change the entire outcome of a sale
- Tax strategies and why you need your CPA and financial advisor in the room early
- Deal terms to avoid (earn-outs, misaligned post-sale roles) and how to sell from a position of power
- Cashflow vs. appreciation — how Nathan structured investments to replace income
- Lessons from private equity, hard-money lending, and 1031 exchanges
- The psychological side: how to plan for purpose and productivity after the sale
If you’re thinking about selling your practice (or want to plan ahead so you don’t get blindsided), this episode is essential listening.
