Running a practice comes with wearing many hats — and knowing which hat to wear, when and how, can make or break your success.

In this episode, Dr. Todd Cameron and Dr. Sachin Patel break down the five essential roles every practice owner juggles: shareholder, technician, non-executive director, executive director, and creator. They explore how each role contributes to building a thriving business and discuss strategies for managing these roles without getting overwhelmed.

Understanding and balancing these roles is the key to sustainable growth and long-term success. Whether you're starting out or scaling up, this episode will provide actionable insights to help you clarify your responsibilities and align your focus.
