## Resource

Ever feel like your group practice is running you instead of the other way around? Yeah, you're not alone. That's why Uriah sat down with his friend Whitney Owens, founder of Wise Practice Consulting and one of the smartest group practice owners he knows, for her fifth time on the show. They got into the systems that keep a growing practice from turning into chaos, and the kinds of overwhelm almost every owner runs into along the way. In this episode, they talk about the first systems you need to get right (intake, billing, and hiring), why hiring for values beats hiring for experience, the real reasons group practice owners feel so overwhelmed, and how a solid team and good SOPs can give you the freedom to step away when life calls for it. Whether you're in year one or year ten, building your first systems or fine-tuning the ones you've got, this one will help you grow without burning out. 🎙️
