In this episode, Dr Sachin Patel talks with Dr Emily Yvon Carroll — GP, practice owner, and Project X coach — about the tough truth most owners don’t see: sometimes we are the bottleneck in our own business.

Emily shares her journey from struggling clinic owner to confident leader, and the key lessons she’s learned coaching hundreds of Practice Owners through Scale My Clinic’s Project X program.
