Scrubs to Startups Stories of clinicians who build businesses beyond the bedside. Most entrepreneurs have never had to ask permission from a licensing board to start a business. Most founders have never walked away from a career they spent a decade training for. Most business podcasts were not built for you. Scrubs to Startups is hosted by the team behind All-Stars Surgical Assist, a multi-state surgical staffing company built by clinicians who understood the gaps in the OR better than anyone sitting in a boardroom. We did not come from venture capital. We came from the scrub sink. This show exists for the PA, the NP, the surgeon, the CRNA, the PT, and every other clinician who has looked around at their career and thought: there has to be something more. Something I own. Something I built. Every episode goes deep on the real friction of building a healthcare business as a clinician: navigating licensure across state lines, managing the identity shift from provider to entrepreneur, understanding reimbursement and revenue models that most MBAs have never encountered, and building companies inside an industry that was not designed to make it easy. The stories are honest. The conversations cover money, failure, regulation, burnout, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts. If you work in healthcare and have ever thought about starting a business, consulting independently, launching a practice, or simply creating income outside of clinical work, this show was made for you. Topics covered on Scrubs to Startups include: physician entrepreneurship, clinician burnout and career transitions, healthcare startups, surgical staffing, medical practice ownership, PA and NP business ownership, healthcare consulting, medical licensing and credentialing, health tech entrepreneurship, independent contractor healthcare, surgical first assist business, reimbursement strategy, multi-state healthcare compliance, building a brand as a clinician, and founder stories from medicine. Your Host: Dan Payson Dan Payson is the CEO of All-Stars Surgical Assist, the national surgical staffing company built to support surgical first assistants across the country. His career spans over a decade at the intersection of clinical care and business -- from clinical neurophysiology and neuromodulation at Medtronic, to spine sales at NuVasive, to founding Payson Partners, a healthcare management and growth consulting firm. Dan has spent his career inside the OR and in the boardroom, which makes him the rare host who speaks both languages fluently.
