Hotline Calls: When Is the Right Time to Sell?

Show Notes
“I’d only sell for a stupid multiple. Thirteen, fifteen X.” A five-practice owner from Dallas calls the hotline with the question every group owner is quietly asking: when do I sell, and what’s the highest multiple anyone has actually gotten? What follows is one of the most candid breakdowns of the DSO economy you’ll hear anywhere. Zombie DSOs, zero interest rate policy, bridge loans at 18 percent, dilution that sellers never see coming, and why a headline multiple is not the same as a check. Peter and Craig make the case for a different scoreboard entirely: do the honest math, optimize for cash flow, and build a life you don’t want to sell.
Dr. Cary Brown returns with an update on his My Story journey from February: Google reviews doubled, revenue consistently up, and a self-graded report card that Peter and Craig immediately push back on. The real lesson isn’t the tactics. It’s the psychology of giving yourself credit and the power of consistency over intensity.
Plus, a milestone to open the show: the Bulletproof Summit 2026 is officially sold out, and Craig records his final podcast from his current office before breaking ground on a 3,000 square foot expansion that takes his practice to 26 operatories. At 55, he’s stepping on the gas again.
