Are you holding back on launching your dream because it's not “perfect” yet? What if the real secret to success is simply taking action even if things look a little messy? Hey UNCAGED CLINICIANS! Welcome back to the podcast—I'm David Bayliff. If you're new, we've been here since 2018, talking business, life, and how to make an impact as clinicians. Today I'm flying solo (Josh Payne recently stepped into full-time ministry—so proud of him!). I want to talk about something that holds so many back: perfectionism. If you've ever waited until everything felt “just right” before taking action, this is for you. We all want things to look polished—but waiting for perfect keeps you stuck. I've seen great clinicians hesitate because they thought they needed the perfect website, business cards, or setup. Truth is: you don't. Here's what I've got lined up for you in this episode: Josh Payne's exciting new path and our ongoing friendship How chasing perfection can paralyze your business growth Why focusing on aesthetics can distract you from real impact Real client stories about action vs. perfection How to reframe your mindset and prioritize movement over perfection The one thing you should really focus on when starting or scaling If you remember one thing from today: Perfect is the enemy of progress. Your clients, community, and patients aren't looking for perfect — they're looking for someone who can help them. Take that first messy step. The world needs what you have to offer! Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician — and as always, make it a great day!    Uncaged Hack: "Perfect is really the antidote to action.

Hey Uncaged Clinicians David Bayliff here with another solo episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast. If you're new, welcome! I started my cash-based practice in 2011 with passion and not much direction. Today, I'm sharing what I wish I knew back then. One big takeaway? Don't try to figure everything out alone.

Have you ever asked yourself why your clinic really exists—beyond just paying the bills? What makes your practice necessary in your community, and not just another option? Hey hey, welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast—David Bayliff here! Glad you're joining me today. We're talking about something a lot of new practice owners miss: your extrinsic why. I've got a great guest with me—Sharon Wisnewski, our accountability coach in the Launchpad program and a former physical therapist. Sharon's all about helping clinicians get clear on their purpose. She shares her story of starting Healing Hands to serve her local CrossFit community—not just treating injuries, but meeting a real need and building something with meaning. In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you: What your extrinsic why is, and why it matters How to identify gaps in your community that your practice can fill Why “being great at what you do” isn't enough The role of real relationships in business growth How to reflect and define your practice's purpose And before we wrap, we'll go through a few powerful questions that'll help you define your own external why—so your clinic isn't just another business, but a needed presence in your community. This one's full of straight talk and real insight. If you take nothing else away, let it be this: you've got to know why your business deserves to exist—not just for you, but for the people you're called to serve.   Uncaged Hack: “You need to figure out why your practice has to exist in the community.” —Sharon Wisnewski If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own business, despite knowing you're capable? What if the only thing standing between you and success is your belief in yourself? Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today, we're tackling a common challenge for entrepreneurs—self-doubt. We all hear that nagging voice asking, “What if I fail?” or “Am I good enough?” I've faced these doubts myself, and in this episode, I'll share strategies for overcoming them and taking charge of your success. This discussion is crucial, whether you're starting out or well into your entrepreneurial journey. Let's face it—confidence can be a facade. Many of us appear sure of ourselves while grappling with fear and insecurity behind the scenes. I've been there, feeling like a fraud even as I projected confidence. But remember, those negative thoughts only define us if we allow them to. In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you: The illusion of confidence and why even successful people struggle with self-doubt How self-fulfilling prophecies can sabotage your business The hidden cost of fearing failure more than embracing success Why some people would rather fail and be "right" than take a risk and win The importance of surrounding yourself with people who see your potential Self-doubt isn't the enemy—it's a challenge to overcome. Your success isn't about eliminating fear but proving that fear wrong. So, take a step forward. Acknowledge your doubts, but don't let them dictate your path. You are capable of more than you think, and it's time to show the world what you're made of.   Uncaged Hack: "People would rather be right and fail than be wrong and succeed." —Kevin DeGroot If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing every decision in your business? What if the key to growth isn't more strategy, but more self-trust? Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and today I'm joined by my fantastic teammate, Hannah DeGroot. We're tackling a topic every entrepreneur grapples with: self-trust. Building a business is tough, especially with the added weight of self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to always make the right decisions. This chat is sure to resonate with many. Self-trust is essential—it's at the core of leadership and making decisions. Hannah and I explore the often quiet origins of self-doubt, from childhood influences to past criticisms, and the common fear of making mistakes. Join us as we discuss the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship. In this episode, we'll cover the following topics: Why self-trust is the foundation of entrepreneurship How childhood and external influences shape our ability to trust ourselves The sneaky role perfectionism and comparison play in our self-doubt Simple, actionable strategies to start rebuilding self-trust Why small wins matter more than you think How to bounce back from mistakes and grow forward As we wrap up this powerful episode, I hope you're reminded that trusting yourself is a process, not a destination. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow. Whether you're just starting your business or have years in, self-trust is your greatest asset. We're rooting for you.   Uncaged Hack: "In order to be a leader of yourself and others, it all starts with trusting yourself." —Hannah DeGroot If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Let's be real—this conversation is long overdue, and we're about to break down the mindset shifts you need to grow your practice confidently.   Let's face it—charging cash can feel uncomfortable.

Many of us have tried traditional mindset strategies, but do you feel they truly help you break free from anxiety? Why or why not? Could embracing vulnerability, in addition to setting boundaries, be the real key to building emotional resilience? What are your thoughts on this approach? Welcome to another fantastic episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot. We're questioning the usual 'just think positive' advice for mental health. Ever felt that mindset tips seem all fluff? You're not alone! Mindset coaching often leans on quick fixes like affirmations and rigid boundaries. However, real resilience stems from confronting, not avoiding, our emotions. Today, we'll explore how emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and genuine human connections can foster profound and lasting change. In this episode, we'll cover the following topics: The dangers of relying solely on positive affirmations for mental resilience Why emotional intelligence is the missing piece in traditional coaching models How vulnerability can be a platform for personal and professional growth The balance between setting boundaries and maintaining meaningful connections How unprocessed emotions contribute to anxiety—and how to work through them At the heart of today's discussion is a simple but powerful truth: mental strength isn't about shutting out emotions; it's about engaging with them in a way that fosters growth and connection. Whether you're an entrepreneur, clinician, or simply someone looking to improve your mental health, this episode will give you the tools to navigate emotions in a more effective, fulfilling way.   Uncaged Hack:  "Vulnerability and humanity and connection are not things that need to be sacrificed in order to be mentally strong." —Hannah DeGroot   If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Have you ever felt like you're spinning your wheels trying to grow your business, but nothing seems to stick? What if the key to long-term success isn't just marketing and sales but something even more fundamental? Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and as always, I'm thrilled to share with you that today's episode is inspired by a question from one of our loyal listeners, Kaitlin, who asked: “What are the crucial foundations for a successful business?” Great question, Kaitlin!    Marketing and sales strategies are essential, but before those even come into play, we need to establish a strong foundation. Many business owners rush into growth strategies without taking the time to build a solid base. This leads to struggles, a lack of identity, and, ultimately, stagnation.    In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you: The importance of building strong business foundations The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic ‘why' Why clarity in your mission and values matters How to build meaningful relationships for business growth Common mistakes new business owners make when starting out   Building a successful business isn't just about tactics—it's about laying the groundwork that will support your growth. When you have clarity on your mission, strong relationships, and a deep understanding of your ‘why,' everything else falls into place. Take time to reflect on your foundations, and you'll set yourself up for long-term success.   Uncaged Hack: "People have to know you, trust you, and like you before they will support you.” —David Bayliff If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Are your practice's values guiding you toward fulfillment, or are they holding you back? What would happen if your business truly reflected the values that matter most to you?   Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I'm David Bayliff, thrilled to have you with us. Today, I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot, our lead personal development coach, to discuss the transformative impact of core values in practice management. Drawing on insights from my business partner, Kevin DeGroot, we'll share strategies for aligning your practice with values that enhance purpose, culture, and fulfillment. We'll focus on differentiating “core values” from “permission to play” values. Hannah will explain how aspirational and accidental values can either promote growth or act as barriers. Our aim? To develop a set of core values that authentically represents your practice's unique identity. In this episode, we'll cover: The four types of values every practice owner should know How to identify and implement core values that align with your purpose The role of values in attracting ideal clients and building a strong team Strategies for transitioning from solo practice to effective team leadership Practical steps to reignite passion and purpose in your work   As we wrap up, remember this: defining your core values isn't just about setting guidelines—it's about creating a practice that reflects who you are and what you stand for. When your business embodies its values, you'll not only attract the right clients and team members but also find greater fulfillment in your work. Let your values guide you to build a practice that's both successful and inspiring.   Uncaged Hack:“If you're feeling a lack of passion or you're feeling uninspired or unfulfilled, go back to your values because it can give you that sense of purpose and inspiration that you might be missing.” —Hannah DeGroot

Why does dropping off business cards to doctors rarely lead to referrals? How can you genuinely stand out in a "me-first" culture?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I'm David Bayliff, and today coming in hot and holiday spicy! We're tackling why the old-school practice of dropping off business cards isn't just outdated—it's ineffective. Building genuine connections takes more than routine gestures in a culture obsessed with convenience and quick wins. Doctors are inundated with the same approach every day, so let's reclaim the art of service and explore how to create relationships that truly matter.   In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you: Why dropping off business cards is a flawed strategy. How the “me-first” culture has impacted professional relationships. Practical ways to bring the art of serving back into your business approach. The importance of trust, value, and service in building relationships.   As we wrap up, here's the lesson: Genuine relationships come from giving, not taking. By focusing on serving others, you not only differentiate yourself but also build trust and loyalty that lead to long-term success. So, the next time you think about handing out a business card, ask yourself—what am I doing to serve and provide value?   Uncaged Hack: "You are your own competition.

Have you ever felt stuck waiting for a big break while overlooking the small wins along the way? What if the secret to long-term success is hidden in your everyday actions?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I'm your host, David Bayliff,  and I'm thrilled to have you with me today.

The hidden value in being faithful to your daily efforts, even when no one else sees.   So, what's the takeaway, friends? Success isn't about where you are right now or where you wish to be tomorrow—it's about showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process. The small steps you take today will build the foundation for the big wins tomorrow. Remember, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."   Uncaged Hack: "Don't disregard the small stuff while waiting for big events to happen.

Are you tired of hearing, "What's your price?" or "Do you take my insurance?" at the start of every call? What if there was a way to steer those conversations toward the real reason your clients need you?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. Hey there, it's David Bayliff, and today, I'm diving into one of the biggest pain points for cash-based practitioners: navigating those tricky pricing and insurance questions. As a coach and clinician myself, I know how it feels when the first words out of a client's mouth are about cost instead of care. So, in this episode, we're flipping the script! How can you guide conversations to focus on value instead of just price?   In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you: Why traditional responses to “What's your price?” can miss the mark How to reframe client calls into meaningful interviews Specific questions that guide clients to focus on their needs Practical examples to soften price discussions   At the end of the day, it's about making your clients feel heard and understood. The key lesson? Take control of the conversation—it's your chance to show them why you're the right person to help. Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician!

Are your goals bold enough to push you to change, or are you playing it safe? What if thinking bigger could unlock potential you never knew you had?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and today we're discussing the power of bold goal setting and the mindset shifts required to overcome our self-imposed limits.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to explain the value of wellness in a clinical setting? Want to know how to turn your clinical skills into a lifelong impact?   In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I'm your host David Bayliff. Today, we're tackling the mindset around integrating wellness programs in clinical practice. Selling wellness can sometimes feel uncomfortable or even guilt-inducing. However, what if we shifted our view to see ourselves not just as clinicians, but as lifelong partners in our clients' health journeys? Many clinicians find it hard to align wellness initiatives with traditional billing and feel uneasy about long-term client retention. Let's explore how seeing ourselves as "health investment brokers" rather than just therapists could change our approach.   In this episode, I'll cover the following topics: The shift from clinical treatment to long-term wellness Overcoming the guilt associated with “selling” wellness programs How to communicate the life-changing value of wellness to clients Reframing your role as a “health investment broker”   As we wrap up, remember that embracing courage in this journey towards wellness can open new doors for you and your clients. By shifting your perspective, you're not just providing therapy—you're empowering people to lead healthier lives, building lasting relationships, and creating true, meaningful impact.   Uncaged Hack: “At the end of the day, what we really do for people is that we change lives.” — David Bayliff   If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

Have you ever held back from acting because things didn't feel “perfect”? What if courage, rather than action, was the key to moving forward?   In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I'm your host David Bayliff. I'm excited to explore the transformative concept of imperfect courage today. Have you ever held back because you didn't feel ready? This episode is for you. It's about embracing the courage to act, even under less than ideal conditions. Often, we avoid taking action due to fear of judgment, failure, or not being perfect. What if true success is about having the courage to act despite these imperfections? Let's dive into how this mindset can unlock significant personal and professional growth.   In this episode, I'll delve into the following topics: How perfectionism can lead to avoidance and limit growth Why courage matters more than “perfect action” Practical ways to practice courage in uncomfortable situations How imperfect courage can improve personal resilience and create opportunities   I want to wrap up by reminding you that courage—even if it's imperfect—is essential for making real progress and building meaningful connections. When we choose courage over perfection, we open ourselves up to create deeper relationships, unlock new opportunities, and gain the confidence to tackle even bigger challenges ahead. Uncaged Hack: "Success doesn't require perfection, but it does require courage." — David Bayliff

Have you ever considered the importance of fostering a strong team culture in your practice?   In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I'm your host David Bayliff. I'm excited to catch up with Dr. Mitch Straub, the owner of Vital Rehab in State College, PA.

This team approach has been a game-changer, especially when working with Medicare, boosting both patient care and revenue.   In this episode, I'll delve into the following topics: The journey of starting Vital Rehab The importance of a multidisciplinary approach Challenges in leading a mobile healthcare team Building a positive team culture Strategies for effective communication and connection The value of investing in your team As we wrap up, remember that building a successful practice is all about creating a supportive environment for your team.

Are you ready to discover what sets successful people apart? Have you ever wondered what traits make someone stand out in their field?   Welcome to another FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and in today's episode, we're tackling something big—what truly sets successful people apart. Recently, while hanging out with two of my best friends from physical therapy school, I realized something: these guys have been wildly successful, and they share a few common traits. That got me thinking—what do these traits look like, and how can we all adopt them? Spoiler alert: it's all about communication, confidence, and humility. So buckle in, and let's break this down.   In this episode, I'll delve into the following topics: The power of effective communication for success How confidence, when paired with humility, fosters genuine connections The role humility plays in team success and leadership Why asking questions and listening are key to growth   At the heart of it, success isn't about knowing it all or being the loudest voice in the room. It's about communicating purposefully, showing confidence without ego, and remaining humble enough to recognize the value others bring. Remember, these are not traits people are born with—they're skills you can learn and develop.

Have you thought about your long-term vision for your practice, and what will happen when you're ready to step away? What's more important to you: the highest offer, or ensuring your practice's mission stays intact?   Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and in today's episode, we're diving into something every clinician running a cash-based practice should be thinking about—exit strategies. We're going to explore the challenges cash practice owners face when it comes to selling, including why many of us feel a deep sense of responsibility to make sure our business doesn't lose its soul in the process.   In this episode, I'll delve into the following topics: The common challenges of selling a cash-based practice. Why private equity may not be the best fit for your business. The importance of maintaining your practice's mission, vision, and values during the sale. Three potential exit strategies and their implications for you and your team. How to empower clinicians within your practice to take ownership. As we wrap up this episode, remember, the legacy of your practice isn't just about the financials—it's about maintaining the heart and soul of what you've built. Whether you're thinking of selling tomorrow or 10 years from now, having a clear exit strategy ensures that your mission continues, and your practice lives on with the same values you instilled in it from day one. Uncaged Hack: “When you consider the people who are going to purchase your business, you have to consider whether they are going to maintain or destroy the mission, vision, and values that you set out to accomplish in the first place.” - Kevin DeGroot If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!
