Podcasts about business building

How do you build opportunities in your practice before you know whether showing up will actually pay off? Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew explore why some of the most valuable practice growth happens when you keep showing up in service before the outcome is obvious. From community outreach and building professional relationships to developing certainty and learning how to communicate chiropractic simply, they look at what happens when you stop measuring every effort by its immediate return. The work that feels unproductive today may be building trust, skill, relationships, and opportunities you cannot see yet. Consistently showing up with something useful to offer gives both you and your practice the chance to grow into opportunities that rarely appear overnight.Key Highlights01:25 – What younger chiropractors may miss when they look at someone further down the road and only see the finished result.04:21 – The less glamorous beginning behind an opportunity that eventually led to working with some of the world's top CrossFit athletes.07:09 – A simple reminder about why the place you start rarely looks like the place you ultimately want to end up.09:00 – Learning to show up before you feel ready and recognizing that same quality in the people around you.10:24 – Why continuing to serve in the schools mattered even when staying at the practice would have felt far more productive.12:00 – The connection between being of service and the opportunities that begin to appear when that remains the reason you show up.13:27 – Where certainty starts to develop when a young chiropractor is still wondering whether their own chiropractic actually works.15:26 – How community involvement can build familiarity and trust before anyone ever decides to become your patient.18:20 – An unexpected lesson from explaining chiropractic to four- and five-year-olds that changed the way one doctor communicates with adults.Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Practice Immersion - Nov 13 - 14, 2026 in Adelaide, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/   To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcastTo schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcastLearn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's AI agent, Muse, needs to be discreet. The same month, some of the calls it made to businesses were placed by people in a call center. I went through what he told Joanna Stern and Alex Heath about Muse's privacy and security and sorted every claim by tense. What exists today, only Meta has checked. The protection from Meta itself is promised for later this year. My verdict: stay away from this. After the sign-off, the show moves to Saturday mornings.Chapters00:00 - Discreet AI, and calls made by people00:59 - What Muse is, and the agentic web02:33 - Joanna Stern's question03:57 - Present tense: the virtual machine and the ads05:45 - Passwords, Sentinel, Amazon and the Mac app07:05 - Future tense: the locked version and discretion10:10 - Who is asking: an ad company with a privacy record11:40 - From the browser wars to the agent wars14:42 - Two documents, 1993 and 202616:00 - After the episode: moving to SaturdaysKey Numbers500,000+ people tried Muse in its first week, as reported by The Information97.6% of Meta's 2025 revenue came from ads$5 billion: the FTC's 2019 privacy penalty on Facebook87 million people's data reached Cambridge Analytica1993: CERN put the web's code in the public domain"Later this year": when Meta says the version it cannot see inside arrivesKey TakeawaysListen for the tense. What Muse does today is described only by Meta, and nobody outside Meta has published a check of it. The version Meta itself cannot see inside is promised for later.Meta's plan for Muse is a small cut of every transaction. Zuckerberg said the cut will come from the businesses. If you run a store, that is you.The early web worked because it was given away and ran on your own computer. This time the companies want to be in the middle from day one. It is the browser wars again, fought over the agent.What to DoBefore you connect your email, passwords or card to any agent, ask how it works today, in the present tense.If you run a store on Shopify, check Sales channels, then Agentic.

What do you do when you have all the pieces of a great business but no clear horizon to aim them at?On this episode of Coffee and Coaching, Renee Velasquez is back on the hot seat. Renee has been in real estate since 2008 and has built an 18-plus year sphere-based business, plus an investment portfolio of seven short-term rental properties with an eighth potentially on the way. After caring for both of her parents through the end of their lives, she discovered a huge underserved opportunity: educating families through one of the most necessary, least talked about parts of real estate.Renee doesn't have a strategy problem. She has a clarity problem. We dig into why good is the enemy of great, why drifting kills momentum, and how a six-year horizon tied to her youngest child's graduation can become the BHAG that turns momentum into direction. I also walk Renee through an AI exercise to uncover her unfair advantage and design the fastest market test to prove people will pay for it.If you've ever felt like you have everything working but still can't name exactly where you're headed and by when, this episode is for you.Key Topics Covered* Renee's origin story: getting licensed in 2008 and weathering both the crash and COVID* Building a seven-property short-term rental portfolio alongside a sphere-based sales business* How caring for aging parents revealed an underserved community of families and adult children* The difference between a will that states intentions and the legal ability to carry them out* “The broccoli problem”: making necessary but unsexy content something people want to watch* Why 51% of home buyers now start their search on YouTube, and why most viewing happens on a TV* Why good is the enemy of great, and how drifting and complacency stall growth* Setting a BHAG: using a three-year and six-year horizon to create a dated destination* Painkiller vs. vitamin: the three things people actually pay for (money, time, and status)* An AI exercise to uncover your unfair advantage and design the cheapest market test for one real payment in seven days* The duality opportunity: a consumer-facing education play plus training that equips other agents to serve families with empathy“A vitamin can make you some money, but a painkiller gets you rich.” — John KitchensConnect With Us* Ready to find your own clarity?

How do you know when a team member is no longer the right fit for your practice? It starts with getting clear on whether the problem is the person, the role, the communication, or the expectations around the work. Dr. Lona and Dr. Rachel Hovey explore how regular team rhythms, clear roles, mission and vision, and honest one-on-one conversations help practice owners address misalignment before it becomes personal. They also challenge owners to look at their own leadership and communication before assuming the employee is the problem. When those structures are in place, difficult conversations become clearer, strong team members have room to grow, and decisions about who stays, who shifts roles, and who moves on can be made around what the practice actually needs.Key Highlights01:03 – The uncomfortable reality of knowing a team member may no longer be the right fit but continuing to let the situation ride.02:11 – What the pause before calling someone an A player may reveal about how clearly the role has actually been defined.03:17 – Why wanting a different outcome in your practice eventually requires looking at the people and behaviors you have been willing to tolerate.04:11 – Separating your feelings about a team member from whether that person still fits the role, mission, and direction of the practice.05:44 – The possibility that a struggling team member may be growing out of a role without either of you recognizing it yet.07:15 – Before deciding someone is the problem, a practical reason to look at your own communication rhythms first.08:20 – When tension with a team member may point to the wrong role rather than the wrong person.09:31 – A bigger question for practice owners about whether the positions they create actually give great people somewhere to grow.11:43 – A simple place to begin when you know a team conversation needs to happen but have been putting it off.13:02 – Why changing the way you ask for team input can uncover ideas you may never hear in an off-the-cuff meeting.18:11 - Dr. Kevin connects with Margaret Rosloniec from Success Partner Fortis to reveal how the right financial infrastructure fuels scalable, sustainable growth for modern practices. They break down how Fortis automates recurring revenue, stabilizes cash flow, and removes front-desk friction so teams stay focused on mission over money. When payments become seamless and reliable, growth stops being limited by systems and starts being driven by vision.

What happens when you stop trying to do everything yourself and start building a business around what you do best?In this episode, I sit down with Donna, a stenographic court reporter who has been certified since 1969 and has more than 50 years of experience in the profession, and her daughter Dana, who went from delivering transcripts to overseeing operations and eventually becoming an equity partner in the family business.Donna takes us back to the early days of her career, from taking on demanding assignments to navigating decades of technological change in court reporting. Along the way, she built an agency and a reputation around what she does exceptionally well: being a court reporter.But as the business grew, so did everything that came with running it.That's where Dana's strengths came in. With a natural ability for organization, operations, and building relationships, Dana gradually took on more of the administrative side of the business—allowing Donna to spend more of her time doing what she does best.Their story is a great example of something I talk about often on this podcast: you don't have to be great at everything to build a successful court reporting business. You need to know your strengths, recognize where you need help, and find the right people to fill those gaps.We also talk about the importance of relationships, earning clients' trust, securing municipal contracts, adapting to changes in the industry, and what it takes to successfully build and sustain a business across generations.At its heart, this is a story about a mother and daughter whose very different strengths became their greatest advantage.In this episode:Donna's journey through more than 50 years of court reportingWhat court reporting looked like when Donna began in 1969Building a court reporting agency from the ground upNavigating decades of technological changeHow Dana went from delivering transcripts to running operationsTransitioning administrative responsibilities from Donna to DanaWhy Donna and Dana's different strengths work so well togetherKnowing what you're good at—and when to ask for helpBuilding and maintaining strong client relationshipsEarning trust and securing municipal contractsStrategic delegation in a court reporting businessBuilding a successful mother-daughter partnershipCreating a business that can adapt and endure

Patient retention is one of the clearest indicators of whether a practice is actually growing, yet many business owners still measure success primarily through new patients, volume, and collections. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete break down the numbers that expose what is really happening beneath those surface-level metrics, including churn rate, total active patients, net momentum, and retained revenue. They connect the clinical cost of patients dropping out with the economic cost of lost recurring revenue, while giving CEOs a more intelligent framework for defining active versus inactive patients and measuring sustainable growth. The takeaway is simple: attracting new patients matters, but the health of the business depends just as much on keeping the people already entrusted to the practice. In This Episode You Will Discover: The retention metric Dr. Stephen says belongs on a five-number business scorecard. What traditional practice stats can miss when determining whether the business is genuinely healthy. A clear definition of an active patient that gives the entire team a consistent standard for tracking retention. The calculation that reveals whether all the month's new patients, reactivations, and dropouts actually produced growth. A second side of churn that exposes the financial consequences when patients leave the practice. Episode Highlights 01:13 - The environments leaders intentionally put themselves in can accelerate growth by exposing blind spots and challenging the way the business is being run. 04:15 - Patient retention moves from an afterthought to a critical business priority as acquiring new customers becomes more expensive. 05:16 - The transition from launching to scaling changes which numbers deserve the CEO's attention. 07:08 - One overlooked metric begins revealing what volume, collections, and new-patient numbers cannot show on their own. 08:29 - The two sides of churn give practice owners a way to measure both lost patient impact and lost business income. 13:06 - A five-part definition of an active patient creates a consistent standard for knowing who is truly engaged in care. 14:57 - Facing the inactive-patient list uncovers the “brutal facts” required to measure retention accurately instead of relying on assumptions. 16:31 - Clear definitions give the entire team a way to distinguish active, inactive, on-track, and off-track patients without guessing. 18:55 - New conversions, reactivations, and in-actives come together in a calculation that answers one essential question: did the practice actually grow? 20:57 - Net momentum provides a clearer picture of whether the patient base is expanding, contracting, or standing still. 22:47 - The conversation shifts from patient count to economics, revealing what happens to revenue when people leave care. 23:30 - Retained revenue adds another layer to the retention scorecard by quantifying the financial impact of churn. 24:54 - Our feet play a far greater role in nervous system function than most chiropractors realize. Dr. Malcolm Rudd sits down with Dr. Andrew Powell from Success Partner Better Balance Orthotics to explore how sensory-based orthotics support posture, balance, and adjustment retention while giving practices an easy-to-implement solution that benefits both patients and practice growth.

What does it take to build a chiropractic practice that can keep growing without staying dependent on the owner? It starts with recognizing when the habits, systems, and assumptions that got you here no longer fit the practice you are building. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew explore what changes when you start treating the business side of practice with the same commitment you give the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic. From questioning inherited practice models and understanding the numbers behind sustainability to building a team that offsets your weaknesses, they challenge practice owners to recognize when what got them here will not get them where they want to go. The more willing you are to look closely at your business, keep learning, and adapt the practice to its current season, the better positioned you are to grow without building everything around yourself.Key Highlights01:54 – Dr. Andrew recalls the moment a successful practice suddenly looked very different once he saw how much he still had to learn.04:08 – A common scheduling habit raises a bigger question about which parts of your practice exist because they still work and which are simply inherited.07:19 – What changes when the systems that served a smaller practice begin limiting the practice you are trying to build now.09:26 – Putting a monetary value on patient care can feel uncomfortable, but avoiding the numbers creates a different problem for the practice owner.11:21 – One number many doctors rarely calculate may reveal whether delivering care is actually sustainable.13:32 – A different way to think about nearby practices when the larger opportunity is reaching the people who still are not using chiropractic.15:28 – Growing beyond an owner-dependent practice requires both expansive thinking and a willingness to look closely at what the numbers are telling you.17:25 – The team member you need most may be the person whose strengths are almost the opposite of yours.20:15 – When your practice is stuck, the reason you cannot find the answer yourself may be more obvious than you think.22:14 – Retention connects the patient experience and the health of the business in a way practice owners cannot afford to overlook.27:05 - Getting more leads means little if they are not the right people for your practice. Dr. Malcolm speaks with James Chester from Success Partner Blue Rhino AI about a data-driven approach to chiropractic marketing that focuses on qualified prospects, continuously optimized creative, and smarter ad spend to help practices attract patients who are more likely to show up, convert, and stay.Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Practice Immersion Oct 1 - 3, 2026 in National Harbor, MD and Nov 13 - 14, 2026 in Adelaide, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/   For more information about Blue Rhino please visit: https://www.bluerhinoai.com/ To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcastTo schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcastLearn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

Wie kann KI grüne Geschäftsmodelle wirklich beschleunigen? Konkret dort, wo Tempo und Kosten über Erfolg entscheiden: von der Idee zum Prototyp in Tagen statt Monaten, günstiger, weil die Kosten für KI-Intelligenz rasant gefallen sind. Kapital ist damit seltener der Engpass. Entscheidend sind Umsetzung, Talent und Fokus. Gerade für hardwarelastige grüne Modelle heißt das: schneller skalieren, Kosten früher senken, früher wettbewerbsfähig sein.„AI-native zu bauen heißt: das Betriebsmodell um die KI herum zu denken – nicht die KI auf ein bestehendes Modell aufzusetzen. Wer das verstanden hat, baut günstiger, schneller und besser.“ – Darüber sprechen Anja Huber und Holger Hürtgen in unserer aktuellen Folge, auch dazu, wo für Deutschland der größte Hebel liegt.See www.mckinsey.com/privacy-policy for privacy information

Na cobertura do Fala Carlão na Casa Agro, eu conversei com Sávio Pinheiro, do Grupo Multcom, Carlos Alberto Pinto Neto, sócio-fundador e diretor do Empresômetro e diretor do IBPT,Letícia Jacintho, Presidente da Associação De Olho no Material Escolar e do jornalista Adalberto Piotto. Debatemos como o modelo de Business Building e a gestão estratégica apoiam distribuidores e empresas do agro, antecipamos as discussões do 4º Fórum Agro sobre recuperação judicial e crescimento, e fizemos uma provocação direta sobre a comunicação no campo: o setor produz com enorme competência, mas precisa assumir o protagonismo para contar sua própria história com clareza, união e presença.

What can the science of chiropractic reveal that your clinical experience may already be showing you? Research, clinical evidence, and nervous system science can give chiropractors stronger ways to understand outcomes, communicate care, and connect what they see in practice with the philosophy behind it. Dr. Lona explores how to translate complex science into language patients can actually understand, while encouraging chiropractors to stay curious, recognize patterns, and contribute case reports or clinical observations that can help move the profession forward.Key Highlights02:00 – How publishing chiropractic research changed the way Dr. Lona thinks about the science behind what she sees in practice.04:10 – A different way to read research by looking at new information through the lens of chiropractic philosophy.06:18 – Science is more than research papers; curiosity, pattern recognition, and clinical observation all matter.09:02 – The kinds of questions chiropractors could be asking when clinical outcomes point toward areas worth studying more deeply.11:52 – Turning research into simple, useful language that helps patients better understand their care.14:43 – Where the science, philosophy, and art of chiropractic start to come back together in the way you communicate an adjustment.16:35 – Why the transformations happening in your own practice may be worth documenting through case reports or publication.19:01 – A practical challenge to use the science of chiropractic more intentionally, communicate it more clearly, and contribute to the profession where you can.19:57 - The right technology should give chiropractors more time to care for people, not more work to manage. Dr. Pete speaks with Gabriel Doty from Success Partner ChiroHD about building smarter practice management software that streamlines workflows, improves efficiency, embraces meaningful AI innovation, and helps chiropractic practices scale with confidence while preparing for long-term success.

The business wasn't missing ambition. It was missing the structure to sustain it. What happens when a rapidly growing business starts demanding more from its founder than one person can give? In this case study, Dr. Jesse Jacobs of Freeform Chiropractic shares how he transformed a fast-growing franchise organization from founder-dependent momentum into a scalable enterprise built on accountability, structure, and leadership. As Free Form Chiropractic expanded from seven locations to a growing multi-unit organization, Jesse discovered that the next stage of growth required more than vision. It demanded operational discipline, clear systems, and a business that could thrive without depending on him to save the day. The result wasn't just a stronger company. It gave him more freedom with his family, greater confidence as a CEO, and a clearer path toward the future he set out to build. In This Case Study You Will: Follow how Free Form Chiropractic evolved from founder-driven growth to a business built for long-term scale. Discover why accountability and organizational clarity became the missing pieces behind rapid expansion. Hear what changed when Jesse stopped white-knighting every challenge and stepped fully into the CEO role. Explore how leadership systems created greater freedom both inside the business and at home. Take away the framework that helped transform growth into durability and optionality. Episode Highlights 01:33 – A fast-growing franchise looked successful on paper, but behind the scenes the founder was carrying far more than the business could sustainably demand. 02:56 – The realization wasn't knowing exactly what needed to change. It was recognizing that growth had exposed problems that couldn't be solved alone. 03:56 – Personal vision became the foundation for business vision, creating clarity that reached far beyond opening more locations. 05:48 – Looking beyond the bank account and into meaningful business metrics transformed how every location was measured and improved. 07:12 – Standards stopped drifting once accountability and clear ownership became part of the organization's operating rhythm. 08:55 – Building a world-class team started with a simple commitment: only world-class people would shape the future of the company. 12:06 – The pursuit of freedom gave way to something even more valuable: building a business durable enough to create lasting optionality. 17:20 – Growth wasn't measured only by opening more locations but by creating businesses that could thrive without depending on the founder. 20:58 – Reclaiming intentional time with family became one of the clearest signs that the business was finally serving the life it was meant to support. 24:30 – The greatest breakthroughs didn't come from having all the answers, but from surrounding the business with people who understood the journey. 28:12 - Technology should make running a chiropractic practice easier, not more complicated. Dr. Bobby sits down with Sam Ogutucu from Success Partner Medic Cloud to explore how specialized IT support and in-house digital X-ray solutions help practices improve efficiency, enhance the patient experience, protect retention, and create stronger long-term profitability.

What if the future of entrepreneurship isn't just about hustle, but about reimagining how we build, connect, and create in an increasingly digital world? In this episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, listeners are challenged to reconsider their assumptions about what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur—and how technology and creativity are breaking down old barriers in business and life. Our guest, Oana Ruxandra, brings a fascinating background as a refugee from Romania who rose to leadership roles in finance and later as Chief Digital Officer at Warner Music Group. Having witnessed the transformation of music from an exclusive, costly art to an accessible, creative playground for millions, Oana now channels her passion for empowering people into Pop Hatch, a platform designed to support the next generation of entrepreneurs. The conversation, led by Marcia Dawood, explores how new tools and technologies are radically democratizing creativity across industries, reducing barriers to business-building, and shifting how we think about community and intellectual property. Oana breaks down why now is a pivotal time to turn side hustles into real ventures, how AI is opening doors (while also presenting new challenges), and reveals how Pop Hatch aims to make finding market fit and meaningful connections easier for founders everywhere. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, harness their own creativity, and stay ahead in a rapidly shifting world.   To get the latest from Oana Ruxandra, you can follow her below! https://www.linkedin.com/in/oanaruxandra/ https://www.pophatch.com/   Sign up for Marcia's newsletter to receive tips and the latest on Angel Investing!

Chiropractic philosophy gives you the certainty to understand why you adjust, communicate that purpose clearly, and help patients understand why their care matters. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore how chiropractic philosophy shapes the way you practice, from understanding subluxation and developing certainty to improving patient communication and retention. They share how mentorship, continued study, and wrestling with your own beliefs can strengthen your conviction and help you communicate what makes chiropractic different. When you're clear on the philosophy behind your care, it becomes easier to show up with purpose, explain the value of the adjustment, and give patients a stronger reason to stay engaged in care. Key Highlights 01:52 – Where to start when you know how to adjust but still aren't completely clear on why you do what you do. 03:42 – Consider what chiropractic education could look like if philosophy were woven through the art, science, and business. 05:59 – Two chiropractors can perform a similar adjustment while approaching what they're doing from completely different places. 07:02 – The conversation around subluxation raises a bigger question about what actually makes chiropractic distinct. 09:37 – What can change in practice when you stop believing you're responsible for doing the healing. 11:01 – Dr. Lona shares the advice that pushed her to seek out chiropractors who could deepen her understanding and conviction. 13:14 – Dr. Andrew's path into chiropractic shows what can happen when the philosophy isn't communicated to the patient. 15:40 – When showing up starts feeling difficult, clarity around why you practice may be the piece worth examining. 17:35 – The material that gave Dr. Andrew an entirely different understanding of the profession he was already studying. 19:28 – A deeply personal experience with his father's health shaped the philosophy Dr. Andrew still carries into practice. 22:09 – A practical place to start if your certainty or conviction around chiropractic doesn't feel as strong as you'd like. 23:23 – Patient retention may reveal more about your communication of chiropractic than you realize. 25:43 – A different way to approach philosophical differences within the profession without working against each other. 27:31 – Consider how much opportunity exists when the goal becomes helping more people experience chiropractic rather than competing with other chiropractors.

Two weeks into dating, we started working together. Six years later, we still do it every single day.Working with a spouse, a sibling, or a best friend is one of the most requested topics we've ever had on this show, and for good reason. Almost nobody talks about what it's actually like.Here's the tricky part. When you build a business with the person you live with, there's no line between the workday and the rest of your life. Every deadline, every big decision, and every win lands in the same house you eat dinner in. Nothing gets postponed, which sounds hard until you realize it's the reason you sort things out faster.Then there's the working styles. One of you locks in at 9am and is done at 7pm. The other is a slow burn who finally hits flow at 9pm and doesn't want to stop. One of you runs at every new idea. The other wants to make sure the foundation holds. Neither is wrong, and the whole thing gets easier the second you stop expecting your partner to work exactly like you do.In this episode, we sat down and answered the questions we get asked the most. Joey wrote his list, Christy wrote hers, and neither of us saw the other's until we hit record. It's the honest version.How to divide the work so you stop burning out on the same tasksWhy output matters more than hours, and how to stop keeping scoreWhat to do when one of you carries more of the drive than the otherThe green lights and red flags before you say yes to any partnershipHow to protect the relationship underneath the businessBuilding something with someone you love is one of the best things in the world. It just works a whole lot better when you build it on purpose.P.S. If you want the business side of this dialed in, we're running the $10k/Month Creator Workshop again on September 15.

Talent can build a busy practice, but talent alone cannot make it scalable, durable, or transferable. Talent alone will create a job. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen unpack what operational fitness really requires: clear systems, capable people, consistent training, and a patient journey that does not depend on the doctor carrying every detail. From processes and procedures to scripting and mastery, the path forward is a practice that becomes more predictable, more transferable, and far less dependent on one person while creating a stronger experience for both the team and the patients they serve. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why natural talent can become the hidden limitation inside a growing practice. The distinction between the clinical practice and the economic engine supporting it. Five operational systems that determine whether growth remains predictable. What stale, ignored, or poorly trained systems reveal about organizational health. The moment scripting stops feeling restrictive and becomes a source of freedom. Episode Highlights 03:58 - What changes when a practice is treated as something entirely different from the business behind it? 04:15 - Two sides of the same organization may be working toward very different outcomes. 05:10 - The very talent that creates early success can quietly become the thing preventing scale. 07:57 - At what point does a demanding job finally become a durable business? 09:59 - A missing system rarely looks like the real problem until the entire team starts feeling it. 16:11 - Why operational fitness can never become something a practice simply checks off and moves past. 17:33 - Three different roles compete for the doctor's attention, but only one should be in control at a time. 19:45 - What patients experience is only one layer of the system shaping their results. 22:24 - The path from winging it to mastery passes through a stage most doctors resist. 27:02 - The next level of operational fitness begins when systems, people, data, and automation start working together. 28:03 - Adding the right service can improve patient care while strengthening your practice. Dr. Eric welcomes the expertise of Dr. Dan RuitenBeek from Success Partner Shockwave Centers of America to discuss how regenerative shockwave therapy, staff training, and implementation support help chiropractors expand treatment options, retain more patients, and create new revenue opportunities.

The art of chiropractic is not something you finish learning once your technique looks good. It is built through the physical capacity to adjust for years, the precision to know where and how to deliver force, and the certainty and presence patients feel when your hands make contact. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna discuss what separates simply creating a cavitation from delivering an adjustment with intention, why mentorship and continued hands-on training matter, and how caring for your own body becomes part of caring for your patients. They also explore the less technical side of the art: trusting your analysis, getting out of your own head, staying present at the table, and creating enough playfulness and human connection that practice still has energy. Developing all of these pieces allows the adjustment to become more than a mechanical skill and gives you a better chance of delivering great care without sacrificing your body or your enjoyment of practice. Key Highlights 02:36 – The physical side of the art that becomes increasingly important if you want a long adjusting career. 04:26 – What higher patient volume can reveal about the way you train and care for your own body. 08:01 – A practical way to choose adjusting mentors when your size or body type changes how you deliver force. 09:17 – The experience that challenged Andrew's assumption that effective adjusting requires physical size. 11:09 – The distinction between creating a cavitation and actually approaching an adjustment with a different intention. 12:11 – Where technique begins to shift from a mechanical process into something far more intuitive. 14:07 – Consider what happens to the adjustment when your mind is somewhere other than the patient in front of you. 15:33 – The role certainty and repetition play when an experienced doctor seems to know exactly where to adjust. 17:27 – A young doctor's fear raises an important question about where technique ends and trust begins. 20:54 – Why taking yourself less seriously may have more to do with the art of chiropractic than you realize. 26:39 - Financial systems can play a major role in both patient retention and long-term practice growth. Dr. Stephen speaks with Dr. Miles Bosman from Success Partner Cash Practice about creating compliant financial plans, simplifying recurring payments, and building systems that help patients stay committed to care while giving chiropractors greater financial stability and scalability.

The businesses that create the greatest impact aren't built by choosing between principle and innovation. They're built by leaders who know how to unite conviction, vision, and complementary strengths into something far greater than either could accomplish alone. Dr. Pete sits down with Dr. Chad Glines and Dr. Caleb Braddock to unpack how two chiropractors with completely different philosophies discovered that their greatest strengths weren't competing but complementary. What started as a shared desire to help patients avoid unnecessary spine surgery has grown into one of the fastest-scaling chiropractic organizations in the profession. Along the way, they reveal hard-earned lessons about vision, scaling, leadership, innovation, and why protecting quality must always come before pursuing growth. In This Episode You Will Discover: How two completely different approaches became the foundation for extraordinary growth.  The leadership decision that separates businesses that scale from those that stall.  Why protecting quality becomes even more important as momentum accelerates.  A simple mindset shift that makes growth challenges feel like opportunities instead of obstacles.  The unexpected connection between a compelling vision and attracting world-class people.   Episode Highlights 04:33 - Two completely different career paths unexpectedly become the foundation for something neither could have built alone. 05:14 - An overlooked group of patients exposes an opportunity hiding in plain sight. 06:50 - One leadership principle quietly explains why specialization doesn't have to limit impact. 10:08 - A deeply personal story transforms a clinical focus into a lifelong mission. 15:07 - Three simple questions begin reshaping the way every CEO should think about vision. 18:35 - An unexpected analogy reveals why great leaders rarely see the entire journey from the beginning. 21:26 - One question about scaling uncovers what really fuels extraordinary growth. 23:26 - The easiest part of growing the business turns out not to be the one anyone expected. 26:27 - A leadership philosophy borrowed from mentorship changes the trajectory of an entire organization. 28:34 - The biggest surprise about scaling has nothing to do with opening more locations. 33:01 - A final leadership lesson reframes every challenge that comes with growth. 38:36 - Sustainable weight loss requires more than a diet. It requires the right system and support. Dr. Chris welcomes Dr. Roger Sahoury from Success Partner SprintSet to explore how chiropractors can expand their impact with a guided weight-loss program that attracts new patients, supports lasting lifestyle change, and creates a scalable revenue stream through coaching, technology, and proven business systems.

Becoming a better chiropractor means knowing which part of your practice needs more of your attention—the art, science, philosophy, or business. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna break down these four interconnected pillars and explore what happens when one develops faster than the others. Andrew shares why adjusting came naturally to him while business required intentional work, systems, coaching, and mentorship. They also look at the role philosophy plays in developing certainty, why understanding the science is different from being able to communicate it, and how continued training strengthens what happens both at the table and throughout the practice. Rather than assuming experience will automatically make you better, this conversation offers a practical way to audit where you are today. Identify the pillar that feels least developed, find people who are already strong there, and deliberately build the skills needed to create a practice that is both deeply chiropractic and capable of growing. Key Highlights 02:08 – Meet the four areas worth continually developing if you want to become a more complete chiropractor. 03:00 – Consider what gets lost when practice growth moves faster than your development in the fundamentals of chiropractic. 05:27 – Andrew's adjusting journey offers a useful look at natural ability versus the skills that still require years of refinement. 07:08 – Explore the philosophical journey that can take you from knowing chiropractic works to developing certainty in the way you personally practice. 09:34 – Athleticism may offer an unexpected advantage when developing the precision, speed, and body awareness required for adjusting. 12:26 – Andrew reveals the pillar that challenged him most—and the limitation he discovered when “winging it” was no longer enough. 14:21 – A useful place to look when chiropractic school hasn't prepared you for the realities of running a practice. 15:20 – “Success leaves clues” becomes a practical strategy for strengthening the areas where you know you're falling short. 16:29 – Try looking at these four pillars as a foundation before focusing on everything you want to build on top of them. 17:28 – Applying a familiar chiropractic principle to your business may change the way you look at stalled practice growth. 18:43 – Andrew's weakest area eventually became one of the most systematized parts of his practice. 20:31 – Patient communication adds another dimension to the art of chiropractic that technical knowledge alone doesn't teach. 22:04 – Use four practical audit points to identify where your art, philosophy, science, or business needs more work. 24:03 - Bringing X-ray imaging in-house can improve more than convenience. It can strengthen the entire patient care pathway. Dr. Timay speaks with John Conidi from Success Partner Next Healthcare about radiology reporting, reducing medico-legal risk, improving access to follow-up imaging, and helping Australian chiropractors deliver more timely care while creating additional value within their practices.

The strongest businesses aren't built by finding a better marketing tactic. They're built by becoming fit enough to thrive no matter how the marketplace changes. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete introduce a powerful fitness analogy that reveals why so many chiropractors have become overdependent on digital marketing while neglecting the foundational systems that create sustainable growth. By rethinking marketing through the lens of balance, resilience, and stewardship, they offer a practical framework for building a practice that's stronger, more adaptable, and far less vulnerable to changing algorithms or market conditions.  In This Episode You Will Discover: Why one overlooked weakness may be quietly limiting the growth of an otherwise successful practice.  A fitness analogy that completely changes how marketing should be evaluated.  The hidden cost of relying too heavily on one source of new patients.  A simple mindset shift that turns marketing from reactive to resilient.  How stronger marketing systems create greater stability, impact, and long-term growth. Episode Highlights 01:18 - A bigger mission sets up a conversation about finding the weak spots that may be limiting practice growth. 03:04 - Marketing gets reframed as an extension of mission, service, and the responsibility to reach more people. 04:19 - The changing digital marketing landscape reveals why relying too heavily on one source of new patients can leave a practice vulnerable. 05:51 - Internal, external, and digital marketing come together as three distinct areas that need strength to create a more resilient growth strategy. 06:41 - The fitness analogy makes it easier to identify which part of a practice's marketing may be getting overtrained while another is being neglected. 08:03 - A real-world lesson in physical fitness shows what can happen when the strength required to perform consistently begins to disappear. 11:21 - The 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 framework offers a practical benchmark for evaluating the balance between internal, external, and digital marketing. 15:03 - Business fitness requires ongoing investment, and one exercise challenges where marketing time, energy, focus, and money are currently going. 17:05 - The hidden cost of missed referrals and patient churn changes the conversation around investing more heavily in internal marketing. 19:30 - External marketing brings the focus back to building relationships in the community and making sure people know who the practice is, what it does, and why it does it. 21:20 - The “power of one” creates a manageable way to strengthen each area of marketing without overwhelming the team. 22:23 - Breaking an unhealthy dependence on digital marketing starts with recognizing what the practice can control and where it has the greatest influence. 25:05 - Nadine Brunet from Success Partner Platinum Systems joins Dr. Chris to discuss the launch of Platinum Cloud, an AI-powered chiropractic software platform built to simplify workflows, reduce administrative tasks, and improve efficiency for practices. They explore agentic AI, integrated tools, seamless onboarding, and how Platinum Systems is helping chiropractors future-proof their clinics with smarter technology.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Platinum please visit: https://www.platinumsystem.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Send us your feedback about the episode!What does maternity leave actually look like when you're self-employed?In this episode of Beauty Behind the Brand, Nicole opens up about preparing for motherhood while running multiple businesses—and why her version of maternity leave looked very different from the traditional year away from work.Years before having James, Nicole knew that if she wanted the freedom to step away from the treatment room and eventually become a mom, she needed to build a business that didn't depend entirely on her being physically present.She shares how she transitioned clients to other technicians, built a team she trusted, automated systems, delegated responsibilities, prepared distributors and clients ahead of time, and created other streams of revenue that could continue even when she wasn't actively working.Nicole also talks candidly about something you can't completely prepare for: how becoming a mother changes what you actually want.From thinking she'd immediately use daycare or a nanny to realizing she wanted much more time at home with James, this episode explores the reality of balancing ambition, motherhood, mom guilt, childcare and entrepreneurship.Nicole shares practical ideas for anyone preparing for maternity leave while self-employed, including:Getting yourself out of the day-to-day operations of your businessBuilding a team before you actually need oneCreating systems and automationsPreparing clients, employees and business partners in advanceBuilding online or retail income that doesn't require your physical presenceSaving ahead and understanding your monthly expensesFinding ways to reduce overhead while you're awayPlanning for childcare earlyEasing back into work instead of expecting everything to immediately return to normalGiving yourself permission to change your plans once your baby arrivesMost importantly, this episode is a reminder that you can prepare as much as possible—but you won't fully know what motherhood will look or feel like until you're living it.Build the systems.

The challenge wasn't creating a successful business. It was building one that could keep scaling without the founders becoming the bottleneck.  What happens when a fast-growing company realizes success alone isn't enough to sustain its future? In this case study, Dr. Caleb Braddock and Dr. Chad Glines of Genesis Back & Neck share how they transformed an innovative clinical model into a scalable enterprise by embracing leadership systems, operational discipline, and CEO-level thinking. What began as a single clinic helping patients avoid spine surgery has grown into nearly 100 locations across the country, but their biggest breakthrough came when they recognized that building the next version of the business required more than entrepreneurial instinct. It required the structure, accountability, and leadership necessary to scale without sacrificing culture, quality, or the experience of their partners. In This Case Study You Will: Discover how Genesis Back & Neck grew from a single clinic into a rapidly expanding national enterprise.  Follow the leadership shift that prepared the company to scale without losing its culture or quality.  Hear why bringing in outside coaching became one of the founders' most important business decisions.  Explore how scorecards and accountability created greater clarity across the entire organization.  Gain insight into the executive mindset required to keep growing while delivering an exceptional partner experience.   Episode Highlights 01:23 - Where two very different strengths finally intersected around a problem worth solving. 02:40 - The moment one successful office started pointing toward something much bigger. 04:25 - Why the way the business was structured would become just as important as the service itself. 06:56 - The gap between what had already worked and what would be required for the next stage of growth. 08:36 - What changed when protecting the business gave way to preparing it for what was coming next. 10:16 - The point where rapid growth started exposing the limits of instinct alone. 12:17 - What became visible once the numbers were tied to clear ownership and accountability. 16:25 - The missing ingredient that helped a strong team understand how to win together. 19:06 - What the company's growth revealed about the breakpoints they had already lived through. 20:41 - The distinction between simply continuing to grow and building the company they actually envisioned. 23:08 - Financial systems can play a major role in both patient retention and long-term practice growth. Dr. Stephen speaks with Dr. Miles Bosman from Success Partner Cash Practice about creating compliant financial plans, simplifying recurring payments, and building systems that help patients stay committed to care while giving chiropractors greater financial stability and scalability.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Cash Practice please visit: https://www.cashpractice.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Building a family chiropractic practice starts with the doctor's certainty about why children belong under care. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore how personal conviction, pediatric adjusting skills, patient education, and the physical environment of the practice all influence whether families naturally see chiropractic as part of their children's health. They unpack what changes when doctors become more confident caring for kids, learn to communicate the body's capacity to adapt and heal, and make the practice visibly welcoming to families. When your philosophy, communication, clinical confidence, and patient experience all tell the same story, parents are more likely to understand why pediatric care belongs in the practice and feel comfortable bringing their children in. Key Highlights 02:07 – A real-life example Dr. Andrew uses to open conversations with parents about chiropractic care for their children. 04:10 – Seeing health through your own children can deepen the way you communicate chiropractic philosophy to other parents. 07:08 – A different way to think about symptoms when the body is actively trying to adapt and heal. 10:31 – The question every doctor should ask about whether their own health choices match what they teach patients. 11:48 – Helping children develop a healthier relationship with their bodies may begin with the language they hear at home. 14:25 – Watch what happens when pediatric care becomes visible enough in the practice that adult patients start asking questions on their own. 15:22 – Before trying to attract more kids, there is one level of certainty the doctor has to develop first. 16:09 – Clinical confidence with children can be built, and there are practical ways to start strengthening that skill set. 19:46 – Once the doctor is ready, the next step is making the practice feel unmistakably welcoming to families. 23:14 – Small changes in playfulness, layout, visuals, and adjusting style can completely change how children experience the office. 25:48 - A thriving practice deserves a financial strategy to match.

What if luck plays a bigger role in fund success than anyone wants to admit? Simon Evan-Cook isn't just throwing that idea out there. He's lived it. He spent years on the allocator side, vetting fund managers and learning what really sticks (hint: it's not just your track record).  Now that he's a fund manager himself, he's pulling back the curtain on the truth no one wants to say out loud…  Yes, being good at what you do matters, but so does luck, timing, and learning how to stack the odds in your favor.  In this Episode, Simon and Stacy dig into:  Why some of the most skilled fund managers don't always win 13 ways emerging managers can make their own luck What allocators actually remember after your pitch And why being honest, even when it's uncomfortable, is the real differentiator This is Billion Dollar Backstory: Encore, because some conversations are just too good not to bring back.About Simon Evan-Cook: Simon Evan-Cook is an award-winning multi-asset fund manager. In 2022 he joined Downing to set up and manage the Downing Fox range of funds.

In this episode of The Building Bigger Lives Podcast, Kathryn and Michael discuss the four foundational elements of business building: vision, plan, playbook, and scorecard. They explain why vision comes first as it sets the compass for the future direction and helps attract people to invest time and energy in the business. Michael describes how planning involves SMART goals and the distinction between disciplines (repeated activities) and projects (specific improvements with due dates). They clarified the difference between a playbook, which documents standards and best practices that consistently work over time, and a plan, which is more tactical and subject to change. The discussion includes how scorecards track both financial outcomes and leading indicators to measure consistency and quality of effort. Kathryn adds a fifth element, review, to complete the cycle and ensure continuous improvement. Michael suggests that business leaders review their documented vision to determine if it describes the past, present, or future, and use that assessment to guide updates to their plan, playbook, and scorecard.

What happens when a random creative idea turns into a viral series, a thriving online community, a book, a podcast, and eventually an entire business?In this episode of Badass Basic Bitch, Brianna sits down with Christa Innis, an author, podcast host, content creator, wife, and toddler mom who has built a community around storytelling, humor, and navigating some of life's messiest moments.Christa is the author of Here Comes the Drama and host of the Here Comes the Drama podcast, where she dives into relationships, family dynamics, and the stories that remind us we're never alone in our chaos. Through her viral skits and relatable content, Christa encourages women to set boundaries, embrace authenticity, and find laughter even in the drama.Christa's journey started with a seemingly random idea for a wedding skit on TikTok. What began as a creative outlet while she was on maternity leave quickly took off, eventually becoming multiple seasons of viral content and inspiring an entirely new chapter of her career.Brianna and Christa talk about what it really takes to turn content creation into a business, grow an engaged audience, stay authentic online, and protect your personal life when your job exists on your phone. Christa also takes us behind the scenes of writing and self-publishing Here Comes the Drama, what she learned from doing it herself, and what's next as she continues writing the series.They also get into the reality of building a business while being a wife and working mom—and why success isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about knowing what matters, creating boundaries, staying consistent, and being willing to put yourself out there before you know exactly where it's going.In This Episode, We Discuss:How a spontaneous wedding skit turned into viral content and an unexpected careerStarting to create content while on maternity leaveChrista's background in social media marketing and how it influenced her approachWhy she initially kept her growing TikTok account a secretThe moment she realized content creation could become a legitimate businessGrowing an audience through consistency, authenticity, and genuine engagementBuilding a community instead of simply chasing followersWhy relatable, imperfect content can be more powerful than polished productionWhat actually happens behind the scenes of scripting, filming, editing, and posting viral contentTurning a creative outlet into a full-time businessExpanding into brand partnerships and social media coachingBalancing entrepreneurship, content creation, marriage, and motherhoodCreating boundaries when your entire business lives on your phoneProtecting family time and keeping parts of your life offlineTurning viral wedding drama into her book, Here Comes the DramaWhy Christa decided to self-publish her first bookWhat nobody tells you about writing, editing, publishing, and marketing your own bookThe importance of having multiple people review your work before publishingWhat Christa learned from self-publishing and how she's applying it to her next bookHer advice for aspiring creators, authors, and entrepreneurs who are afraid to startMemorable Quote"Don't overcomplicate it. Focus on what you're passionate about, stay authentic, and keep showing up consistently." — Christa InnisKey TakeawaysYou Don't Need to Know Where an Idea Will LeadChrista didn't start making wedding skits because she had a perfectly constructed business plan. She had an idea, followed her creativity, and gave herself permission to experiment. That one decision eventually grew into an audience, business, podcast, and book.Sometimes you don't need to know what step ten looks like. You just need to be willing to take step one.Authenticity Will Take You Further Than PerfectionYou don't need the perfect camera, elaborate production, or meticulously curated life to connect with people online. Christa's success reinforces something creators often forget: people connect with people.Relatable, authentic content gives your audience a reason to see themselves in your stories—and a reason to keep coming back.Build a Community, Not Just a FollowingGrowing on social media isn't only about posting consistently. Christa actively engages with the people consuming her content, responds to comments, listens to feedback, and makes her audience feel like they're part of the experience.Followers are a number. Community is a relationship.Your Business Needs Boundaries TooWhen your career revolves around social media, your workplace is always within reach. There is no office door to close at the end of the day.As a wife and toddler mom, Christa has had to intentionally establish boundaries between her work, content, and family life. Building something successful shouldn't require sacrificing your ability to actually be present for the life you're building it around.Writing the Book Is Only Part of Self-PublishingChrista chose to self-publish Here Comes the Drama, giving her firsthand experience with everything that happens after the manuscript is written.Editing, feedback, marketing, promotion, and getting the book in front of readers all matter. One of her biggest lessons is the importance of having multiple eyes on your work and recognizing that a great book still needs a strong strategy behind it.Stop Overcomplicating Content CreationFor anyone waiting for the right idea, equipment, strategy, or moment to start creating, Christa's advice is simple: focus on what you genuinely care about and start.Consistency matters. Authenticity matters. Connecting with your audience matters. Perfection doesn't.And when you need a break? Take one.Connect with Christa Innis

Everyone wants a bigger Vision Story of Success, but very few people have a decision-making framework strong enough to protect it. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why core values are the invisible force behind sustainable growth, resilient leadership, healthy relationships, and thriving businesses. Through practical frameworks and deeply personal stories, they reveal how alignment between values, vision, and daily behavior becomes the difference between burnout and peace, between chasing success and actually living it.  If success has ever felt harder than it should, the answer may not be working harder, but getting clearer about what truly matters.  This episode will help you get there. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why some of the biggest business struggles are actually values problems in disguise.  The surprising reason highly successful leaders walk away from opportunities others would chase.  A simple framework that exposes whether daily decisions are building success or quietly working against it.  The hidden difference between having values and actually living by them.  How one deeply personal story reveals the real cost of making decisions that conflict with what matters most. Episode Highlights 01:15 - Core values can shape wealth far beyond finances, influencing business, health, marriage, family, and everyday life. 03:11 - Meaningful growth requires values strong enough to build resilience, character, and leadership capacity. 04:39 - A simple distinction reveals whether core values are guiding the business or merely decorating the wall. 08:04 - Sustainable success looks very different from a short burst of growth followed by exhaustion and burnout. 09:14 - The relationship between core values, vision, and behavior determines whether a leader is truly operating in alignment. 11:47 - Calendars, spending habits, attention, and energy often reveal personal values more clearly than words do. 13:55 - Misalignment between values and daily behavior creates stress, friction, and unnecessary difficulty. 16:49 - Burnout may be signaling something deeper than workload alone. 19:12 - Leaders can use core values as a practical standard for personal accountability, hiring, and team culture. 23:40 - One framework helps organize aligned values across life, marriage, parenting, finances, and business. 27:23 - A major personal dream becomes a real-world lesson in using values to make difficult decisions. 31:23 - Saying no to the wrong opportunity can protect freedom, peace of mind, and long-term success. 33:02 - The right technology should give chiropractors more time to care for people, not more work to manage. Dr. Pete speaks with Gabriel Doty from Success Partner ChiroHD about building smarter practice management software that streamlines workflows, improves efficiency, embraces meaningful AI innovation, and helps chiropractic practices scale with confidence while preparing for long-term success.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about ChiroHD visit: https://content.chirohd.com/remarkable-practice Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

The best leaders aren't the ones their teams can't live without. They're the ones who've built systems, communication, and trust that allow the practice to thrive even when they're away. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore what happens after you've hired the right people. They discuss why communication, accountability, and consistent leadership rhythms determine whether a team becomes independent or remains dependent on the practice owner. Through personal stories and practical examples, they unpack the mindset shifts required to let go of control, address difficult conversations early, and create an environment where both people and the practice continue to grow. If you've ever struggled to delegate, hesitated to hold your team accountable, or found yourself becoming the bottleneck in your own practice, this conversation offers practical leadership principles for building a stronger team—and a practice that doesn't rely on you for every decision. Key Highlights 03:47 – A clearer way to measure whether your practice can truly operate without you. 05:21 – The leadership shift that helps you support team growth without letting your ego get in the way. 07:24 – Where to look first when a team member is missing expectations or falling short on a KPI. 09:20 – Keeping the mission at the center of difficult team conversations. 10:59 – Why early accountability can be one of the most supportive things you offer your team. 12:28 – Choosing which hard conversation to have now before the problem becomes harder to fix. 14:21 – Recognizing whether you tend to micromanage, avoid conflict, or move between both. 15:11 – A practical leadership process for delegating without losing visibility or control. 16:48 – Using practice numbers to catch problems before they become obvious in the day-to-day. 18:12 – The communication rhythms that create more clarity, engagement, and freedom across the team. 20:15 – Creating enough growth inside the practice to keep strong team members challenged and engaged. 23:42 – Two practical places to begin when communication or accountability has started to slip. 24:31 - Sustainable weight loss requires more than a diet. It requires the right system and support. Dr. Chris welcomes Dr. Roger Sahoury from Success Partner SprintSet to explore how chiropractors can expand their impact with a guided weight-loss program that attracts new patients, supports lasting lifestyle change, and creates a scalable revenue stream through coaching, technology, and proven business systems.

Sometimes the reason patients keep losing their progress isn't because the adjustment was ineffective, but because an invisible stressor begins working against it the moment they leave the office. Dr. Malcolm is joined by Dr. Andrew Powell of Better Balance Orthotics to share the journey that led him from rejecting traditional orthotics to embracing an entirely different neurological approach that challenges conventional thinking about posture, spinal health, and rehabilitation. Through decades of clinical observation, research, and objective measurement, he explains how stimulating the feet instead of supporting them may help patients hold adjustments longer while creating better clinical outcomes and stronger practice systems. The conversation ultimately reveals why addressing one overlooked source of stress can change both the patient experience and the economics of a chiropractic practice. In this Episode You Will Discover: Why one everyday habit may be quietly undoing clinical progress between every adjustment.  The surprising story behind a product that almost disappeared before reaching practitioners around the world.  A completely different way of thinking about orthotics that challenges decades of conventional practice.  How one overlooked assessment can reshape both patient outcomes and practice systems. The connection between better clinical certainty and an unexpected opportunity for sustainable practice growth.   Episode Highlights 01:31 - A lifelong physical struggle becomes the starting point for a completely different way of thinking about the nervous system. 03:19 - One mentor's recommendation leads to an overlooked idea that had been hiding in plain sight. 05:21 - A passing of the torch forces an unexpected decision about responsibility, purpose, and impact. 08:19 - The accepted explanation for scoliosis gets challenged by a question that goes one level deeper. 12:22 - A fundamental distinction between support and stimulation changes the entire orthotics conversation. 19:10 - One provocative idea raises the possibility that the problem may have started long before symptoms appeared. 22:37 - Objective testing begins answering whether patients are truly holding their adjustments better. 26:38 - A realization about day-one care reshapes the entire patient assessment and recommendation process. 29:43 - The barriers that normally complicate implementation turn out to be surprisingly small. 32:25 - An immediate patient reaction reveals why experience can be more persuasive than explanation. 35:12 - Dr. Eric sits down with Jeff Van Kampen from Success Partner Clinic Growth Accelerator to explore how chiropractic practices are using Meta ads, data tracking, and lead qualification systems to create more predictable patient growth. Jeff shares how filtration, conversion tracking, AI follow-up tools, and long-term patient nurturing are helping clinics improve lead quality, increase ROI, and scale with greater confidence and clarity.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Clinic Growth Accelerator please visit: https://growyourclinic.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

One legal mistake can threaten years of work. Protection has to be built before the problem shows up. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why strong contracts, strict separation between personal and business finances, and proactive legal protection are essential for preserving your company and your personal assets. A handshake is not enough. A vague agreement is not enough. And treating your LLC like a personal checking account can create serious exposure when disputes happen. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why airtight contracts are critical when money and liability are involved• How co-mingling personal and business funds can weaken your protection• Why insurance, accounting, and legal counsel should be part of your foundation• How strong compliance helps protect your personal assets from business disputes The truth is simple: Do not wait for a lawsuit to start protecting the business. Strengthen the contracts. Separate the finances. Maintain the entity correctly. Build the legal and financial systems that protect everything you are working for. True wealth requires a true shield.

This is the first of five "Best Of" episodes I'm re-releasing in August while I take a break — and it felt like the right one to kick things off with. I'm sharing the single mindset shift that has shaped 16 years of business building for me: the idea that everything is a beta, and my business is an ongoing experiment. "Everything is a beta. It's not meant to be perfect. It's meant to be a learning experience that allows you to create something better the next time." What I Cover Why the most successful business owners are the most flexible and responsive — not the ones with a "perfect" planWhat "beta mindset" actually means to me and how it's helped me drop perfectionism for goodHow perfectionism quietly kills progress, sales, and profitHow I use beta offers to get clients faster, including selling and pricing on the flyWhy I don't wait to finish a program before I sell it — and how I create content as I goHow I use betas to test (and eventually refine) a niche instead of overthinking itMy approach to beta pricing: why and how I discount the first time I offer somethingHow betas double as a built-in system for gathering testimonials and social proofReal examples from my own business — including the BBB, CYFL, and a brand-new coaching skills intensive — showing how betas have shaped my programs, pricing, delivery models, and marketing over timeThe perfectionism trap: why I believe waiting for the "perfect" offer, niche, or landing page is really just delaying revenueSell one ticket: my advice to coaches who stall on content — sell it before it exists, and let that commitment light a fire under youThree rounds of beta: how the BBB's content library doubled in its first six months, built almost entirely from beta feedbackFrom 12 sessions to 6 (and maybe back to 12): a candid look at how I've repeatedly rebuilt my own one-on-one offer over the years A Mindset Shift to Try This Week I want you to write it on a Post-it note: "Everything is a beta". The next time you're tempted to hold back on launching something because it isn't perfect yet, ask yourself instead: is this good enough to put out into the world and learn from? Let's Connect I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Beta Mindset. Are you already practicing it, or is this a new idea for you?

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Crabill to explore how he went from struggling through seven jobs in just two and a half years to building and successfully exiting a Voice over IP (VoIP) company. Dan shares how finding the right opportunity, focusing on underserved small and mid-sized businesses, and consistently delivering exceptional customer service helped his company grow to support over 30,000 endpoints before its acquisition. He also explains how networking, strategic positioning, and understanding changing market trends allowed him to build a business that stood out in an increasingly competitive telecommunications industry.The conversation also dives into what truly makes a business valuable. Dan explains why systems, standard operating procedures (SOPs), customer retention, and company culture became the foundation of his success. He shares how giving employees the freedom to make mistakes, hiring people for mindset rather than experience, and continuously improving internal processes helped create a business that could operate efficiently without relying on its founders. The discussion also covers sales strategies, referral partnerships, networking, and why building relationships often generates better long-term results than relying solely on cold outreach.Beyond building and selling a business, Dan discusses what entrepreneurs should do long before they think about an exit. He shares practical advice on preparing financial records, increasing company value, negotiating EBITDA multiples, managing due diligence, and reducing buyer risk before taking a business to market.===Key Topics:-Building a successful VoIP business from startup to acquisition-Why systems and SOPs are the foundation of scalable companies-Growing through networking, referrals, and relationship-based sales-Building a high-retention business that buyers want to acquire-Preparing a company for a successful exit and maximizing business value-Leadership, delegation, and creating a culture that drives long-term growth===If you're selling land and still relying on Facebook messages, you're making it harder than it needs to be. Acrefy helps land investors create clean, professional dispo websites where buyers can see everything in one place. It saves time, looks legit, and helps you close faster.

Many financial advisors build successful practices that generate strong income but far fewer build businesses that could operate without them or eventually be sold. In this episode, we explore the fundamentals of business valuation and what makes an advisory practice attractive to a potential buyer. You will learn why revenue alone does not determine what your business is worth, how operational dependence on the owner can reduce value, and what advisors should begin doing now to prepare for a future sale. Whether you plan to sell your practice in the next few years or continue operating it for decades, building a more valuable business can create greater income, flexibility, and financial security today. In This Episode, You'll Learn The difference between owning a job and owning a valuable business asset The key factors buyers evaluate when valuing a financial advisory practice Why recurring and predictable revenue can increase business value How documented processes and systems reduce owner dependence The importance of client retention, team development, and clean financial records Common issues that can lower the value of an advisory business Why succession and exit planning should begin long before you are ready to sell Practical steps advisors can take now to make their businesses more transferable The Main Takeaway Do not wait until you are ready to retire to start preparing your business for sale. A valuable practice must be intentionally built. The earlier you improve your systems, financial reporting, client relationships, team structure, and recurring revenue, the more options you will have when it is time to transition. Your business should not only produce income for you today. It should become an asset that can create wealth for you and your family in the future. Who Should Listen This episode is for financial advisors, insurance professionals, agency owners, and financial-services entrepreneurs who want to: Increase the long-term value of their businesses Reduce the business's dependence on them Prepare for succession, retirement, or a future sale Build an operation that is more predictable and transferable Turn years of hard work into a valuable business asset Questions to Consider Could your business continue operating successfully without you? Is your revenue predictable and recurring? Are your processes documented? Are your client relationships connected to the business or only to you? Would a potential buyer clearly understand your financial performance? What would need to change for your practice to become easier to sell? Next Step Begin evaluating your business through the eyes of a potential buyer. Identify the risks, gaps, and opportunities that may be affecting its current value.

Meetings don't consume time. They create leverage. The moment a business begins to grow, the doctor faces a choice: remain the person solving every problem or become the leader who develops people capable of solving them. That transition rarely happens by accident, and it often reveals itself in the way meetings are run.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the Millionaire Meeting Framework, a seven-step process designed to transform meetings from routine conversations into high-leverage opportunities for alignment, accountability, leadership development, and execution. From creating clarity around PRIORITY to empowering team members to think critically and bring solutions instead of problems, this episode provides a practical roadmap for moving beyond owner-operator thinking and building a business that can grow through people rather than depend on them.In This Episode You Will Discover:  Why the most valuable meetings often start with a question most leaders skip  The hidden reason smart teams continue solving the wrong problems  A framework that develops leaders instead of creating more dependence  How one simple question can completely change the quality of team conversations  The difference between a meeting that consumes time and one that creates leverage   Episode Highlights 02:10 - Meetings don't consume time. They create leverage, and the best leaders know how to multiply their impact through them.  05:17 - The fastest leaders aren't the ones who rush meetings. They're the ones who bring a framework.  07:14 - Question 1: How are you doing? A one-minute check-in sets the tone before the business begins.  08:20 - Question 2: What is our priority? Every great meeting starts by identifying the one constraint that matters most.  11:28 - Question 3: What is the objective of this meeting? Clarify the problem before trying to solve it.  15:08 - Question 4: What is your 1-3-1? Great leaders don't collect problems. They develop critical thinkers.  18:41 - Question 5: How can I help you? Support replaces rescue when a leader chooses coaching over taking ownership of every task.  20:47 - Question 6: Do we have a solution? Alignment happens when expectations become clear agreements.  21:02 - Question 7: What is your takeaway?

The ceiling wasn't clinical ability, passion or effort…It was the business model.  What happens when two busy practice owners realize they've both become the biggest obstacle to their own growth? In this case study, Dr. Aaron Collins and Dr. Nathan Clem share how two thriving but plateaued practices became one scalable business by replacing personality-driven growth with leadership, systems, and shared vision.  After spending 15 years running independent practices, they partnered together, embraced the Chiropractic Operating System, nearly doubled their business with a smaller team, and created more freedom for both their families and their future. Their story proves that sustainable growth isn't about working harder. It's about building a business that can grow beyond the people who started it.   In This Case Study you will: See how two successful practices broke through years of stagnation by joining forces instead of continuing to grow alone.  Discover why replacing personality-driven leadership with systems became the turning point for sustainable growth.  Follow the evolution from owner/operators to CEOs who built a business instead of simply running one.  Hear what changed after implementing a partnership built on complementary strengths rather than overlapping responsibilities.  Gain insight into how doubling the business with a smaller team created greater freedom, profitability, and impact. Episode Highlights 03:14 - Two successful practices had both reached the same frustrating ceiling, proving that growth can stall even when a business appears successful. 04:13 - A New Year's Eve conversation between longtime friends became the unexpected beginning of a completely new business vision. 08:14 - The realization that a personality-driven practice could never outgrow the person leading it changed everything. 09:37 - One powerful distinction reframed growth forever: the greatest strength of a leader can eventually become the greatest weakness of the organization. 10:36 - Systems didn't replace leadership. They created the structure that allowed everyone on the team to perform at a higher level. 11:09 - Year after year, disciplined execution transformed one partnership into a business approaching twice its original size. 13:49 - Greater profitability became the vehicle for something even more valuable: more freedom, fewer clinical days, and a business designed around life. 17:41 - The biggest identity shift wasn't becoming a better clinician. It was letting go of being the center of the business. 21:19 - Building a "stop doing" list became just as important as building a to-do list for sustainable growth. 23:55 - The future belongs to practices that learn to build remarkable businesses, not just deliver remarkable care. 26:05 - A thriving practice deserves a financial strategy to match. Dr. Andrew welcomes Bel Gibbons from Success Partner Investorus Strategists to share how personalized financial planning, investment strategies, and long-term wealth creation help chiropractors turn today's success into tomorrow's legacy.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Investorus please visit: https://investorus.com.au  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

What if patients aren't saying no because of the price, but because they haven't experienced the value?  Many doctors struggle with pricing because they're viewing it through the lens of cost rather than impact.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why experience and outcomes are the two forces that drive value, how pricing communicates value before a patient ever starts care, and why a remarkable patient experience creates opportunities that discounting never will.  From limiting beliefs around money to real-world examples of luxury purchases, restaurants, and patient care, this conversation challenges practice owners to rethink what they're actually selling and how that influences every pricing decision they make. The result is a powerful shift from defending fees to creating value that patients are happy to invest in.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why the biggest pricing problem in most practices starts long before the report of findings  A powerful distinction between what patients pay for and what they actually value The hidden danger of building a business model around assumptions about what people can afford  How one bad experience can erase an otherwise exceptional outcome  What it really means to become the practice everyone in town talks about   Episode Highlights 02:57 - What if the biggest obstacle to raising prices has nothing to do with your patients?  03:38 - How do you put a price on changing the trajectory of someone's life?  04:21 - The people most doctors think are broke may actually have a completely different problem.  04:54 - Why working harder can never fix a broken business model.  05:19 - The difference between something that costs less and something that's actually worth more.  07:13 - What changes when a doctor becomes fully convinced of the value they provide?  08:15 - Patients don't always make decisions based on price, but they always make them based on value.  09:34 - Why higher prices often create a stronger perception of quality before a word is spoken.  11:01 - What are patients really buying when they choose a practice?  14:07 - How quickly can one interaction convince someone they're in the right place?  17:30 - One bad experience was enough to erase everything that went right.  19:02 - Every patient is making a value calculation, whether they realize it or not.  19:59 - Remarkable isn't a marketing term. It's a standard.  21:51 - What are patients talking about when they leave your office?  24:23 - Were they paying for breakfast, or were they paying for something else entirely? 25:04 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support. They explore how virtual team members help practices protect marketing investments, strengthen patient communication, reduce administrative workload, and create scalable systems that support sustainable growth.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

What if the biggest barrier to patient retention isn't your care, but the time it takes patients to get answers?  Today's patient wants answers fast.  Today's Chiropractor wants to increase speed, quality of care - and compensation for all of the above.  Technology is the answer.  As patient expectations continue to accelerate, practices that can provide immediate clarity, faster care pathways, and greater certainty create a significant advantage. Dr. Timay sits down with John Conidi from Next Healthcare to explore how in-house radiology helps reduce patient drop-off, improve retention, mitigate medico-legal risk, and create new revenue opportunities for the practice. The conversation unpacks the financial realities of implementing imaging, the critical role of radiologist reporting in protecting both patients and providers, and how emerging AI technology may soon help identify urgent findings faster than ever before. The result is a compelling look at why imaging is becoming far more than a diagnostic tool. It's becoming a strategic driver of better patient experiences, stronger clinical outcomes, and sustainable practice growth.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why a simple referral outside the practice may be costing far more patients than most realize  The overlooked medico-legal responsibility that comes with every image taken  A revenue opportunity hiding inside a service many practices already recommend  How reducing diagnostic delays can dramatically strengthen patient trust and retention  The emerging AI capability that could identify urgent cases before they reach the top of the reporting queue   Episode Highlights 02:04 - Why the speed of getting answers may matter just as much as the quality of care.  02:41 - A simple referral for imaging may be creating more patient drop-off than most practices realize.  03:37 - The path from diagnosis to care changes dramatically when answers happen immediately.  04:09 - Every X-ray captures more than the spine, creating a level of responsibility many practitioners never fully consider.  05:45 - What if radiology reporting could become a strategic asset instead of simply another expense?  08:24 - The strongest return on an X-ray machine may have less to do with reimbursement than with practice growth.  09:16 - Convenience isn't just good service anymore. It's becoming a competitive advantage.  10:40 - Removing barriers to advanced imaging could dramatically shorten the patient's journey to answers.  15:19 - What if months of waiting for an MRI could become a matter of days?  16:52 - The future of radiology may not be faster reports, but knowing which patients need attention first.  19:05 - One routine image uncovered something nobody expected and completely changed the care plan.  19:36 - Taking the image is only the beginning. The real responsibility starts with everything that comes after. 20:39 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support. They explore how virtual team members help practices protect marketing investments, strengthen patient communication, reduce administrative workload, and create scalable systems that support sustainable growth.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Next Healthcare please visit: https://nexthc.com.au/   For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Many owners spend years building a successful practice only to discover they've built a business that still depends entirely on them. The result is a hidden ceiling on growth, freedom, and impact. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge the conventional obsession with scalability and introduce a more powerful objective: durability. Through the concept of Week 13, they reveal how scheduled vacations become a leadership accelerator, a business stress test, and a catalyst for developing stronger teams, stronger systems, and greater trust. The payoff is a practice that continues to create value, serve patients, and grow even when the owner steps away.  The most expensive vacation is the one that you never take.  The second most expensive vacation is the one that you have to shut the practice down to take it.  Build DURABILITY into your practice so that you don't have to pay for your vacation twice.  Spend the money that you are going to lose.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why taking time away may be the fastest path to building a stronger business A leadership challenge that exposes whether a practice is truly durable The hidden cost of becoming indispensable to patients and team members How a vacation can become a transformational opportunity for an associate doctor A simple framework that turns time away into a catalyst for growth Episode Highlights 02:59 - A surprisingly simple recommendation reveals whether a business is truly built for growth. 03:43 - The distinction between scalability and durability changes the way success should be measured. 04:44 - One overlooked business metric dramatically impacts long-term value and freedom. 06:17 - A concept called Week 13 challenges conventional thinking about productivity and success. 08:27 - The most effective growth strategy may look suspiciously like stepping away. 08:36 - A powerful question exposes what must be true for a business to thrive without its owner. 09:29 - The connection between personal energy and business performance becomes impossible to ignore. 10:49 - Patient behavior often reveals a leadership issue hiding beneath the surface. 15:06 - An uncomfortable contradiction challenges the way many health-focused professionals live their lives. 17:37 - A decision that feels expensive in the short term may create outsized returns everywhere else. 18:58 - One experience can accelerate an associate doctor's growth faster than months of training. 21:21 - A looming deadline creates the kind of urgency that leadership development requires. 22:38 - The difference between being away and truly disconnecting becomes crystal clear. 25:38 - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth. They discuss using objective nervous system data to improve retention, scale with team leverage, increase PVA, and strengthen certainty in care planning. CLA's technology enhances attraction, conversion, collections, and long-term scalability.
