Throughout the conversation, Michael emphasizes a founder-first approach; one that protects the identity of the practice, respects the team, and prioritizes long-term sustainability over short-term gains. He also addresses the role of younger physicians in succession planning, the evolution of aesthetics-focused partnerships, and what the current market tells us about timing and opportunity.
This episode also digs into what practice owners can do before they’re ready to sell, whether that means organizing their financials, clarifying long-term goals, or identifying potential gaps in operations or leadership. Michael shares what makes a practice attractive to buyers and how owners can prepare years in advance to keep their options open and their values intact.
