20/20 Money Episode #363: Where’s my money?! with Sharon Carter

October 21, 2025

Ever wonder where all your money’s going in your practice? Sharon’s here to share the “usual suspects” of practice (mis)management that’s costing practice owners tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands of dollars. We also highlight the importance of goal setting and creating a positive workplace culture to retain staff and drive practice growth. Lastly but importantly, if there’s a topic that you hear us discuss that you’d like us to dive deeper into on a future episode, let me know! Email podcast@integratedpwm.com with your suggestion and Sharon has promised to come back on the show for a deeper dive on listener favorites.
