The Doctor Who Built Deliberate Freedom - A Conversation with Dr. Katrina Skinner
Jul 10, 202624 minS1
Dr. Katrina Skinner was still in residency when she bought a vacant lot, and built her own medical office from the ground up. Six weeks after graduating, she was seeing patients. That decision set the tone for everything that followed in her life — private practice ownership, commercial real estate investing, and eventually founding two communities for physicians. Women in Pediatrics connects female pediatricians who are tired of practicing in isolation. Pediatric CEO gives practice owners the business education — finance, leadership, delegation — that medical school never covers. Her grandmother always told her: you have not because you ask not. It's the reason she found a banker willing to loan a resident a million dollars. In this conversation she also shares the advice a mentor gave her one year into practice, when she was exhausted and couldn't see a path forward. We go into the real estate side — how she identified the land, assembled her team of advisors, what she did when she outgrew the building five years later, and how those early investments are now creating the financial flexibility to step back from clinical care on her own terms. For physicians considering private practice, for business owners thinking about commercial real estate, or for anyone trying to build a life that belongs to them — this is a conversation worth slowing down for. #RERLPodcast #RealEstate #Investing #PrivatePractice #Physician #Entrepreneur #WomenInMedicine #Pediatrics #CEO Support the show Listen and follow the show on your favorite podcast platform: YouTube Apple Podcasts Spotify Amazon Music Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for general informational purposes only.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
