One memo, every Sunday. Written owner to owner.

The internal memo I wish someone had sent me fifteen years ago. One thing I changed in my companies: what it cost, what it returned. Closing scripts, AI in the practice, concierge pricing. No specialty required, just a P&L you’re responsible for.

The memo

What a $14/hr no-show policy returned in 60 days

Two months ago I changed one line in the front-desk script at one of my clinics. It cost a $14/hr raise and an afternoon of training. Here’s the before, the after, and the number.

Most owners try to fix no-shows with penalties. Penalties punish the patients who were coming anyway…

The signal
  • What moved in medical marketing, and what it means at your size.
  • Where AI actually landed in healthcare this week, minus the hype.
  • One number from the industry worth arguing with.
Where I’ll be

The next live rooms and trainings, with dates. That’s the only pitch in here.

Every issue opens with one change I made: what it cost, what it returned. Then three things worth your attention, and nothing you could get from a search engine.

Worth one email a week? That’s the whole ask.
