In this episode, we explore Abby’s inspiring journey as a soon-to-be nurse practitioner with a bold plan to open her own practice before even graduating. At just 28, Abby is proving that you don’t need decades of experience to succeed in the world of niche wellness services like weight loss and HRT.
We discuss why these kinds of practices are accessible even to new grads, the basic clinical skills that really matter, and how confidence and smart decision-making can make all the difference. If you're a new NP, RN, or someone considering this path, this episode offers valuable reassurance and a dose of motivation to get started sooner than you think.
In this episode, we explore Ciara’s journey—an experienced FNP who has built a virtual wellness practice centered around weight loss and hormone replacement therapy, with functional medicine on the horizon.
Despite minimal marketing and a part-time approach, her business has grown organically from $20K in year one to over $100K in year two—all while juggling motherhood and a new pregnancy. Now, she’s looking to take things to the next level without pouring more of herself into it.
This conversation dives into key topics like hiring strategically, creating passive income, and eventually building a business that can run—and even be sold—without you. If you’re dreaming of scaling your practice while maintaining work-life balance, this one’s full of gold.
Kate, an FNP who’s running a solid wellness clinic and looking to expand into men’s health joins Justin for a very interesting conversation. While men’s health is a great addition, Justin emphasizes why she shouldn’t abandon the steady revenue she’s making from weight loss and GLP-1s.
Key takeaway: Don’t throw away a profitable service—build alongside it.
Kate’s strategy? Keep the weight loss revenue flowing while growing men’s health on the side. This way, if GLP-1s become less viable in the future, she won’t be left scrambling. Justin also dives into the importance of LegitScript certification for online advertising, highlighting how Kate’s already seeing a strong return after just a few weeks.
If you’re building a wellness practice, this episode is packed with smart, strategic advice to help you diversify, grow, and protect your business.
In this episode, Justin chats with Jenn, a nurse practitioner juggling a lot—including a profitable primary care practice. The key takeaway? If something in your business is working, don’t walk away from it.
Even if it’s not your passion, a steady income stream is worth preserving. Justin shares how to turn that service line into sustainable, possibly passive income by hiring help, so Jenn can free herself up to focus on the things she does want to pursue.
Bottom line: you don’t have to love every part of your business—but if it’s making money, find a way to keep it alive.
This episode is packed with smart advice for any NP entrepreneur thinking about scaling, simplifying, or pivoting without leaving money on the table.

In this episode, Justin sits down with Mercy, an FNP working full-time in oncology while launching her new practice offering TRT, weight loss, and IV infusion services. Like many new entrepreneurs, she’s eager to grow and attract more clients—but growth takes time, and patience is key.
Justin and Mercy discuss why having a strong foundation is crucial when starting a business. Instead of constantly chasing new ideas, it’s important to focus on refining what you already offer and allowing your service lines to grow naturally. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right mindset and consistency, the results will come.
If you’re in the early stages of your business and feeling frustrated with slow growth, this episode is a must-listen. Stay the course, trust the process, and watch your business thrive!
In this episode, Justin is joined by Kary, an FNP launching her med spa and women’s health practice while balancing a job and deciding between cash-based or insurance billing. With so many decisions ahead, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to create the perfect setup—but Justin reminds Kary of an important lesson: you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
They discuss the power of using what’s already in front of you—whether it’s existing referral networks, available resources, or insurance opportunities—to build a strong foundation. Success isn’t about forcing everything to fit your ideal vision; it’s about adapting and maximizing what’s already there.
If you’re launching or growing a business and feeling stuck on decisions, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on working smarter, not harder!

Amanda is passionate about her services, but like many new business owners, she’s struggling with getting patients through the door and making real money.
Justin helps Amanda uncover a crucial truth, at this stage—she's her own biggest obstacle. Overcomplicating pricing, being too flexible with rates, and hesitating to market boldly are all common mistakes. They discuss the importance of standing firm on pricing (the right clients will pay!), using free marketing tools effectively, and simplifying the process to create a steady, profitable business.
If you’ve ever doubted your worth or felt stuck in your business, this episode is packed with the motivation and strategy you need to turn things around!
