The Physician Growth Accelerator – Details, episodes & analysis

Most physicians are unknowingly leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table in every lease negotiation. 

In this episode, Zed is joined by Colin Carr, founder of Carr Healthcare Realty, to uncover the silent losses buried in your real estate deals—and why landlords love working with doctors who go it alone.

Colin breaks down the posture, process, and negotiation strategy used by Fortune 500 companies—and explains how private practices can leverage the same approach to protect margins, gain leverage, and build a moat around their business.

Whether you're a solo provider or run multiple locations, if you lease your space, this episode could change how you approach every future deal.

Office drama and gossip aren’t just annoying—they’re signs of a deeper system problem. And most practice leaders have no idea how much it’s costing them.

Many physicians believe that drama is just part of running a practice. But that belief keeps teams misaligned, morale low, and patient experience fractured. It doesn’t have to be that way. A culture without gossip is not only possible—it’s a choice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why drama exists in your office (even if you think it doesn’t)
• How your systems are reinforcing the behavior you want to eliminate
• The leadership shift that makes gossip unacceptable without policing it

Drama thrives in silence. But with the right system tweaks, you can break the cycle for good. If you have struggled with drama or gossip in your practice, this episode is for you.

If it feels like your team is never quite on the same page, you’re not alone—and it’s probably not their fault.

In this episode, Zed introduces a simple but powerful framework: Define, Communicate, Measure (DCM). You’ll learn how ambiguity in roles, expectations, and even everyday language creates frustration and stalls growth. When you start defining clearly—what you expect, what success looks like, and what behaviors matter—alignment follows.
