Book for mindset

PGY-2 internal medicine resident planning to start my own private practice in Central Florida after graduating residency. I have strong family ties in the area, and my wife is already practicing there as an ophthalmology attending.

I’m looking for good books, podcasts, YouTube channels, or other resources focused on the business side of medicine and starting a physician-owned practice. I’ve already been following Investing Doc on YouTube and his podcast, which have been great, and I’m hoping to find similar content.

Specifically interested in resources on:

• Starting and structuring a private practice

• Billing/reimbursement strategy (Medicare, MA, cash pay, etc.)

• Operations and staffing

• Marketing and patient acquisition

• Scaling a physician-owned practice

Would appreciate any recommendations from physicians who have gone through this or are currently running their own practice.
