Episode notes
Humble Six‑Op Beginning
- Dr. Addison Killeen and Dr. Brandon Chappick started in a small six-op strip center with modest financial goals.
- Their early focus on hitting $150,000 revenue set overhead and system expectations that scaled later.
Grow With Singles And Doubles
- Do focus on consistent singles and doubles rather than chasing home runs in growth and marketing.
- Build systems, set small targets, and scale gradually instead of trying to jump from zero to multimillion in one year.
Hire For Culture First
- Hire for culture and remove people who aren't a fit quickly to protect your workplace environment.
- Prioritize leadership and reproducible systems so patients can feel the difference even if clinical tech is similar.
