Episode 295: Real Estate, Acquisitions & Real Leadership: How Dr. Melissa Hubiak is Building Life-first Wealth
If you've ever wondered what it really looks like to build a thriving, multi-location aesthetic business while staying grounded, humble, and values-driven… this episode is your permission slip.
Melissa Hubiak, MD is a quiet powerhouse, a contrarian thinker who has scaled her practice not by following the industry "rules," but by rewriting them. From growing up with no electricity as the oldest of six, to navigating a pandemic right after a massive expansion, to purchasing multiple buildings and stepping into the role of CEO, Melissa has built her empire with resilience, creativity, and a whole lot of grit.
In our conversation, she opens up about:
- Transitioning out of the treatment room to lead a growing team
- Why she chose to buy businesses instead of selling
- Her real estate strategy (including how she purchased six buildings)
- Navigating trademark challenges, expansion fears, and identity shifts
- How confidence is created through action — not handed to you
- What it really takes to scale with integrity, clarity, and courage
This is an episode for the founder who's craving expansion, but wants to do it the right way. The woman who senses a bigger vision calling her forward — and needs the reminder that she is capable of so much more than she realizes.
I can't wait for you to hear Melissa's story. It will change the way you think about leadership, growth, and what's truly possible for your business.
