    TRANSCRIPT

    Episode transcript

    Nicole: Hey there, it's Nicole Harlow. Welcome back to the Lead Better Podcast. Quick question before we start. How much time did you spend last week building a treatment plan from scratch for a patient with a really common condition? Yeah. Today's guest has some thoughts about that very thing. Jordan Robertson is a naturopathic doctor and the founder of The Confident Clinician. It's a membership that gives integrative practitioners the research, the how, and an AI-powered knowledge base built from years of expert calls. We get into why "every patient is a unique snowflake" is eating your week, and the Netflix test for boundaries has been living rent-free in my head ever since I read it. Plus, Jordan sold her clinic two weeks before we hit record, so you get to hear how she built a practice that ran without her for three years and why she handed it off while it was still thriving. Okay, let's get into it.

    Hey, Jordan. I'm so excited to have you on the show today.

    You know what you think happens when a new patient finds you.
