    At 29 years old, Dr. Peter Wishnie decided to purchase his own practice in New Jersey instead of working for another doctor in Rhode Island, despite having no business experience and starting $300,000 in debt. Initially struggling with a declining patient base and losing $7,500 monthly, he turned to business coaching, implemented new systems, and studied key performance indicators. His dedication paid off, as he surpassed the previous owner's earnings within a year and maintained multiple seven-figure earnings for 30 consecutive years, placing him in the top 1% of his field. After 33 years, Dr. Wishnie sold the practice for $2 million more than the purchase price in 2022, transitioning to help other business owners achieve success while maintaining work-life balance.

    No law firm or podiatrist is the same. Each business requires a different approach to marketing and a unique marketing mix. If a marketer tells you a strategy is one-size-fits-all, then it’s time to find another marketer. What works for one practice utilizing its own resources in its specific market is surely different than what works for your mix of reputation, resources, and market size. Your practice’s growth is its own, and it’s time to handle it that way! Absorb how you can approach your marketing by watching or listening to Alexander’s presentation during this episode.

  • Dr. Nathan Ivey comes from the Pacific Northwest and is from a family of 10. He got his podiatry degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in 1999. Eventually, the lack of sun got to him and his wife, so they uprooted and moved down to New Mexico, where he has been in practice ever since. His specialty is in rearfoot and ankle reconstruction, but he is also adept at using orthotics to correct issues that would otherwise require surgery. He is a business owner who is familiar with the stresses and obstacles involved in running a practice and taking over a practice. Over the years, he has built a sense of resiliency into his entrepreneurial style—something we can all learn from.

    You’d be hard-pressed to find a podiatrist, or any entrepreneur for that matter, that has a story quite like Dr. Nathan Ivey’s. His practice has been forged out of the trials and tribulations of moving several states away, taking over a practice, holding his own against hospitals, and actually having to fly across New Mexico to commute between two practices. His story is one of legend—and, like many legends, we can learn a lesson or two from it. This episode will explore the concepts of the ever-evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, marketing, and life in general.
