What if the deal you thought would free you was actually holding you back?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brenda Dintiman, a dermatologist and founder of Utopia Wellness, who sold her practice to private equity — and when it didn't go as promised, made the bold decision to start all over again. She rebuilt from the ground up, crossed seven figures in her private practice, and is now expanding into the wellness and metabolic health space.
She shares the mindset that made it possible, the tangible moves that drove revenue, and why she's more excited about what's ahead than anything she's already built.
Tune in and get inspired!
