What makes a successful healthcare practice owner walk away from everything they built?
In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Dr. Erin Holder shares the incredible story of building a seven-doctor veterinary practice from scratch, surviving the 2008 financial crisis, navigating COVID, and ultimately making the life-changing decision to sell her practice.
You’ll learn:
- Why most practice sales have nothing to do with money
- The financial mistakes nearly every healthcare owner makes
- How better financial advisors and accountants changed everything
- What burnout really looks like behind the scenes
- How private equity acquisitions actually work
- Lessons every veterinarian, physical therapist, optometrist, dentist, and healthcare practice owner should know before selling.

Your practice isn’t just a business—it’s your greatest wealth-building asset.
