The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” was passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president on July 4th, 2025. This bill will have a sweeping impact on the already declining healthcare landscape in America.

Physicians who view reform not as a threat, but as a catalyst for reinvention, will be best positioned. Those clinging to the old model risk being commoditized; those who adapt, innovate, and lead will reclaim autonomy.

This week, Dr. Pepper reviews seven things every physician needs to be doing in the aftermath of this bill. You are not powerless. What will you do this week to prepare and safeguard your career?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Brittney Anderson, a board-certified family physician and founder of a thriving private practice in Alabama. Dr. Anderson shares the deeply personal and incredibly practical journey that led her from burnout in academic medicine to building a mission-driven, insurance-based solo practice that now has a waitlist of patients.

Dr. Anderson didn’t just hang a shingle. She reverse engineered her success with strategy, intention, and heart. She shares the five key moves that helped her build a successful practice from the ground up, and offers encouragement for other physicians who dream of practicing medicine on their own terms.

Join us as we discuss:

• What made Brittney leave academic medicine and take the leap into solo practice
  
• The productive solo trip to Hawaii that changed everything
  
• Her five keys to a successful launch (including a genius marketing tip involving her dog)
  
• How she got over 700 shares on her first clinic announcement without spending a dime
  
• The power of building community with other physicians and local businesses
  
• Why done is better than perfect (especially when it comes to websites)
  
  

If you're wondering whether starting a private practice is possible—or profitable—this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Anderson's story proves that with a plan, a little faith, and a lot of intention, physicians can reclaim autonomy and joy in their careers.
