## Resource

In this episode, we tackle a listener question that comes up often in multi owner practices: how to fairly split pay when ownership, production, and management responsibilities are not equal. Chad and I walk through why a production only model usually creates resentment over time, why fair does not always mean equal, and how practices can think more intentionally about separating clinic compensation, management pay, and ownership distributions so each owner is rewarded for the value they actually bring. We also discuss how this kind of structure helps practices scale with less friction, more transparency, and better alignment among owners as the business grows.
