Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call Private practice is not dead. Dr. Tolu built the evidence. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tolu Olabintan — family physician, obesity medicine specialist, and founder of Livingspring Medical Center in Mansfield, Texas — for a conversation that covers the full arc of her journey: launching virtually in November 2020 at the height of COVID, opening on the ground in July 2021, and building from her first four-figure month all the way to multiple seven figures, 10,000+ patients served, and a team of six clinicians. Dr. Tolu gets real about what it actually took — letting go of micromanaging everything herself, building a team when the space felt too small for one, staying coachable when she thought she already knew, and saying no to the distractions that looked like opportunities. She also talks about what changed when she stopped asking "is this possible?" and started asking "how?" — and how that shift in thinking touched every part of her business and her life. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a physician who built the dream practice and the dream life, and is still building. Tune in and get inspired!
