Freedom by Design podcast episode with Brent Stutzman on private practice marketing

Episode 3

Brent Stutzman – Marketing, Brand, AI Shift
Why Marketing Gets Heavier as Your Practice Grows

At a certain point, more demand does not create more freedom. It creates more pressure. In this episode, we break down why marketing starts to feel heavier as your practice grows, even when you are doing more of the right things.

You will hear what has changed in today’s landscape, why relying on tactics alone stops working, and why consistency and trust matter more than ever. This conversation also challenges the idea that marketing is something you can turn on and off, and shows how reputation and relationships compound over time.
