Podcasts about business building

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.

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?

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. 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.

Folge 268: Der Traum von der eigenen Personalberatung: Solltest du als Solo-Gründer komplett bei null anfangen oder dich lieber einem etablierten Franchise-System anschließen? In dieser Folge leuchte ich die Vor- und Nachteile der Franchise-Welt im Bereich Recruiting und Executive Search scharf aus. Auf den ersten Blick klingt das Rundum-sorglos-Paket verlockend: fertiges Branding, Anwalts-geprüfte Verträge, IT-Infrastruktur, bestehende Datenbanken und ein fertiges Onboarding-Programm. Doch dieser Komfort hat seinen Preis: hohe fünfstellige Einstiegsgebühren und laufende Umsatzabgaben von oft 20 % oder mehr. Ich breche radikal mit den typischen Versprechen der Franchise-Geber. Erfahre, warum das mitverkaufte Branding bei B2B-Kunden in der Praxis oft kaum zieht (weil der Kunde dich als Berater kauft, nicht das Logo), warum Partnertreffen im Franchise überraschend oft in Jammer-Runden abdriften und wieso High-Performer dem System nach wenigen Jahren oft den Rücken kehren. Du erhältst konkrete Prüfkriterien für deine Entscheidung – inklusive des 300k-Umsatz-Tests, den du jedem Franchise-Geber vor der Unterschrift stellen solltest.

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.

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.

Referrals don't happen by accident. They're cultivated through consistent conversations, intentional systems, and genuine community connections. Dr. Lona and Dr. Rachel Hovey discuss why referral growth is still one of the most underutilized and effective practice-building strategies, despite the attention given to newer marketing tactics. They share practical systems for cultivating patient referrals, building meaningful community partnerships, training teams to recognize referral opportunities, and creating consistent follow-up processes that keep practices visible and top of mind. Rather than treating referrals as something that simply happens, this episode encourages practice owners to intentionally build a referral culture that extends from the adjusting table into the community, creating sustainable growth rooted in trust and genuine relationships.   Key Highlights 01:29 – Discover why relationships still create stronger long-term practice growth than the latest marketing trends. 02:23 – Learn to spot the everyday patient comments that can become real referral opportunities. 04:23 – A more natural approach to networking that removes the pressure to promote yourself. 06:11 – Inside Dr. Rachel's simple system for keeping community connections organized and active. 07:30 – Defining your ideal patient can point you toward better networking opportunities. 09:15 – Strong referral partnerships often begin long before anyone exchanges a referral. 11:13 – See how the right local partnerships can make your practice a trusted community resource. 13:07 – Simple ways to thank referral partners and strengthen those relationships over time. 15:33 – Reframing the referral conversation so it feels helpful rather than uncomfortable. 17:40 – Table talk, whiteboards, and repeated education may be quietly driving your best referrals. 19:23 – Three practical steps for strengthening referral systems inside the practice and throughout the community. 20:29 - Adding the right service can improve patient care while strengthening your practice.

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? Every meeting ends with do what, by whom, and by when. 21:45 - Imaging technology is evolving rapidly, and chiropractors have more opportunities than ever to improve efficiency and patient care. Dr. Pete sits down with J.R. Marsee from Success Partner Blue Ridge Imaging to explore turnkey imaging solutions, ongoing support, and the growing role of AI in modern chiropractic practices.

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?

Leadership isn't tested when everything is going well. It's revealed when the team, culture, or vision begins to drift. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore why hiring the right people starts long before an interview and why practices with strong cultures consistently attract, develop, and retain stronger team members. Through candid stories of hiring mistakes, difficult leadership lessons, and hard conversations, they explain that protecting a practice's mission, vision, and core values is ultimately the responsibility of the doctor. Rather than viewing hiring as a staffing problem, this episode reframes it as a leadership discipline where clear expectations, intentional culture, and consistent accountability create a team capable of supporting long-term practice growth. Key Highlights 01:13 – Why hiring challenges often reveal leadership opportunities rather than staffing problems. 04:14 – The overlooked responsibility every practice owner has in shaping culture before making the next hire. 05:35 – Why core values become the filter for every hiring and leadership decision. 07:24 – The interview answer that immediately revealed someone wasn't the right fit. 10:40 – What happened when one difficult conversation allowed the right outcome for everyone involved. 13:12 – The leadership lesson that only became clear after the wrong person left the team. 17:29 – Why addressing small shifts in culture early prevents much bigger problems later. 18:13 – The difference between supporting team members through life and allowing personal challenges to shape the practice environment. 21:27 – Why defining the role before posting the job dramatically improves hiring decisions. 23:00 – The practical hiring process that helps identify the right person before extending an offer. 26:50 - 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.   Resources Mentioned For more information about Medic Cloud please visit: https://mediccloud.com.au To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcast To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcast Learn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

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?

Some practices struggle during periods of uncertainty while others become an anchor their communities trust because they never question the value they deliver. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore why certainty in chiropractic is built long before economic downturns or personal crises arrive, and why patients continue investing in care when they fully understand its value. The conversation challenges doctors to examine whether hesitation around fees, retention, or recommendations reflects a communication problem rather than a financial one, emphasizing that great adjustments, thorough report of findings, consistent patient education, and authentic connection all contribute to perceived value. When doctors confidently communicate what chiropractic truly offers and continually refine both their hands and their message, practices become more resilient, patients remain committed through uncertainty, and care becomes something people prioritize rather than postpone. Key Highlights 01:16 – Why rising fuel prices reveal something every practice owner should understand about patient value. 07:23 – What became clear during COVID about the practices that continued to grow while others struggled. 10:58 – The overlooked form of value patients often receive before an adjustment is ever delivered. 14:33 – Why patient education determines whether people view care as essential or optional. 15:58 – The difference between providing services and delivering an adjustment patients genuinely recognize. 17:18 – Why confidence in your hands directly influences confidence in your recommendations. 18:08 – A closer look at the hidden value contained in an exceptional Day One and Report of Findings. 19:13 – What changes when doctors begin viewing care as preventing future health costs instead of treating current symptoms. 20:23 – Why affordability is often a perception problem rather than a pricing problem. 22:58 – The conversation around certainty that ultimately shapes patient trust, retention, and long-term practice stability. 26:51 - 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 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?

Practice growth rarely stalls because of a lack of skill. More often, it stalls because certainty hasn't caught up with ambition. Dr. Lona and Dr. Chris Grier unpack why certainty is the true foundation of sustainable practice growth. They explore the four pillars of certainty—clinical, philosophical, communication, and business acumen—and explain how each one shapes patient trust, leadership, decision-making, and practice culture. Through practical examples and personal experiences, they demonstrate that certainty is intentionally developed through observation, experience, and continual learning. They also explain why certainty is never something you permanently achieve. It must be continually strengthened through intentional growth, allowing chiropractors to lead with greater conviction, communicate with greater clarity, and build practices that continue to thrive year after year. Key Highlights 02:28 Why certainty is one of the greatest hurdles every young chiropractor must overcome before they can truly thrive. 03:48 Why certainty is the foundation of practice growth and why volume is built on conviction first. 05:08 What pressure reveals about your philosophy, your technique, and what really comes out when you're under stress. 06:23 The first two forms of certainty every chiropractor needs to develop and how they shape patient care. 09:23 The four pillars of certainty that influence your clinical decisions, communication, leadership, and business. 11:08 Why most chiropractors naturally develop one area of certainty while the others quietly limit their growth. 12:18 The three ways certainty is developed and how observation, experience, and study work together throughout your career. 15:08 Why your team's certainty determines how far your practice can grow. 16:28 Dr. Chris and Dr. Lona share where they lacked certainty early in practice and what helped them build it. 20:33 Why certainty requires continual investment and what happens when you stop intentionally strengthening it. 22:40 Better decisions start with better data. Dr. Stephen sits down with Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons from Success Partner Lucro to discuss insights from the 2026 State of Chiropractic Report and how Lucro helps chiropractors benchmark performance, uncover hidden opportunities, and make data-driven decisions that improve profitability and long-term growth.

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.

You can spend years improving your business while unintentionally drifting away from the conviction that built it. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore why philosophy, continual learning, and investing in experiences that challenge and inspire you are essential to maintaining certainty in practice. Through stories from the Innate Summit, mission trips, and years of clinical experience, they discuss how reconnecting with your purpose strengthens your team, deepens patient trust, and brings renewed energy to the way you serve. When doctors continually invest in their own growth, they create practices that are more resilient, more aligned, and better equipped to change lives. Key Highlights 01:37 – Why the best seminars leave doctors wanting to bring that same energy back into their own practice. 04:17 – The surprising difference experience makes in developing certainty without feeling the need to convince patients. 06:02 – What years in practice reveal about patient decisions that newer doctors often take personally. 08:02 – Why strengthening your conviction before returning to practice changes how you serve every patient. 09:32 – The unexpected connection between personal growth, professional energy, and the patients who begin showing up in your office. 12:22 – How bringing team members to live events can reshape practice culture long after the seminar ends. 15:22 – A story from India that reveals where true certainty is often built. 20:02 – Why some of the greatest lessons from serving others end up transforming the doctor more than the patient. 23:02 – How maintaining curiosity keeps both clinical care and long-term patient relationships from becoming routine. 25:12 – The simple mindset shift that helps practices sustain purpose, enthusiasm, and growth long after the seminar ends. 26:59 - Imaging technology is evolving rapidly, and chiropractors have more opportunities than ever to improve efficiency and patient care. Dr. Pete sits down with J.R. Marsee from Success Partner Blue Ridge Imaging to explore turnkey imaging solutions, ongoing support, and the growing role of AI in modern chiropractic practices.

The biggest choke on your growth probably isn't a lack of New Patients. It's the invisible money constraints hiding inside an otherwise successful practice. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen unpack how flawed pricing strategies, broken money beliefs, and ineffective money models quietly choke growth, reduce profitability, and limit impact. Through real-world examples, practical benchmarks, and a powerful reframe around value, conviction, and outcomes, they reveal how remarkable businesses create the resources needed to expand their mission. The payoff is a clear framework for identifying hidden revenue opportunities, strengthening confidence in recommendations, and building a business that can sustainably serve more people.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why a seven-figure practice uncovered an additional six figures of annual revenue without adding a single new patient  The uncomfortable truth behind underpricing and the stories that keep doctors stuck there A powerful distinction between charging for services and charging for outcomes  How weak conviction silently shows up as poor conversion and inconsistent collections  The money mindset shift that transforms profit from a guilty topic into a mission multiplier Episode Highlights 03:27 - The breakthrough starts by identifying the single constraint that makes every other problem look bigger than it is.  05:13 - A thriving seven-figure practice discovers hidden revenue simply by delivering and charging for overlooked value.  08:24 - The difference between growth and profitability turns out to be smaller than most owners think.  09:40 - An industry-wide statistic exposes just how much untapped potential is sitting inside existing practices.  10:54 - Growth accelerates when attention shifts from solving five problems to eliminating one bottleneck.  17:14 - A common leadership habit quietly prevents owners from seeing money that's already available.  18:16 - The stories doctors tell themselves about pricing may be costing far more than they realize.  19:40 - A simple benchmark challenges whether value and fees are actually aligned.  22:15 - The real value gap isn't what is being delivered. It's what is never being communicated.  26:01 - One subtle shift in how recommendations are presented can completely change the response.  29:00 - A lesson about commitment, value, and human behavior reframes the entire money conversation.  30:27 - The distinction between selling a service and creating an outcome changes everything.  31:29 - A powerful distinction challenges the conventional relationship between service, value, and transformation. 33:23 - Dr. Lona sits down with Dr. Brian Capra from Success Partner ClinicMind to explore how chiropractic practices are evolving beyond traditional EHR systems into fully integrated growth platforms. They discuss how AI, automation, patient communication, and practice management are transforming attraction, retention, and scalability for modern clinics.

Many practice owners build a practice first and only later realize they never intentionally built a life around it. Dr. Lona and Dr. Rachel Hovey explore what happens when motherhood, family, and practice ownership intersect, and why maternity leave often exposes the strengths and weaknesses of a practice's systems, delegation, and team structure. They discuss the importance of creating choices before you need them, communicating openly with patients and teams, allowing your rhythms and priorities to evolve, and building enough support so that life events do not become practice emergencies. The conversation is ultimately a reminder that remarkable practices are not built at the expense of remarkable lives, and that strong systems create the freedom to be fully present both at work and at home. Key Highlights 01:11 – Why maternity leave reveals more about a practice's systems than most owners realize. 03:25 – The hidden cost of building a successful practice while neglecting everything outside of it. 04:53 – What changes when doctors start having honest conversations with patients about life transitions. 06:10 – Why creating options before you need them gives practice owners more freedom later. 07:50 – The systems and rhythms that make extended time away from practice possible. 08:51 – What one doctor did before maternity leave that made stepping away realistic. 09:40 – The often-overlooked challenge of returning to practice after becoming a parent. 11:10 – Why motherhood changes more than your schedule and how that affects practice decisions. 14:39 – The lesson children teach high-performing doctors about flexibility and control. 19:19 – The role of community, mentorship, and support when navigating practice and family together. 24:07 - 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 For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/ To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcast To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcast Learn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

What if the future of chiropractic growth has less to do with hiring more people and more to do with freeing the right people to fully serve? Dr. Pete Camiolo and Dr. Eric Kowalke, Founder and CEO of SKED, unpack how AI, automation, and operational systems are reshaping the modern chiropractic office without sacrificing the human connection that makes chiropractic powerful. From front desk overwhelm and rising operational costs to predictive retention technology and smarter patient communication, the episode reveals how technology can eliminate distraction, improve efficiency, and create a more remarkable experience for both patients and teams.

Most practice owners think team struggles come from staffing shortages, difficult personalities, or lack of motivation, but Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge that assumption head-on. Dr. Pete frames the conversation around identifying the primary constraint limiting growth, while Dr. Stephen focuses on accountability as the force that turns busyness into productivity. Together, they unpack the “four rights” of building a high-performing team: right people, right positions, right work, and right way.   Getting these “4 Rights” right starts with your hiring process.  Set Expectations and Agreements early in the relationship - and make sure that they understand that your business is a “High Accountability" environment.  Along the way, they reveal why A-Players thrive in accountable cultures, how unclear expectations quietly sabotage scalability, and why stronger leadership systems create greater focus, healthier culture, and sustainable growth.

Why Retention Is The Real Growth Strategy  Most practices assume retention problems start when patients stop showing up, but the real breakdown happens much earlier. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why patient compliance is the hidden constraint limiting growth, referrals, scalability, and long-term impact. Through a practical framework built around strong starts, clear agreements, and patient understanding, they reveal how retention is not a motivation problem but a communication and systems problem. The conversation explores how practices create “wanting,” why compliance drives every major business metric, and how better patient stewardship creates stronger outcomes, deeper loyalty, and sustainable growth.   In This Episode You Will: Why many practices mistake new patient problems for the real operational leak quietly draining momentum and revenue  The hidden reason patient retention collapses long before someone officially drops out of care  A smarter way to think about compliance that transforms it from pressure into partnership What happens when patients fully understand the cause of their recurring health patterns  An important distinction between setting expectations and creating true agreements inside the patient journey Episode Highlights 02:01 - A compelling challenge emerges to stop chasing every problem and identify the one constraint capable of pulling the entire practice forward.  02:48 - Retention takes center stage as the overlooked driver behind better outcomes, stronger referrals, and sustainable revenue growth.  06:25 - An uncomfortable truth surfaces as retention is exposed as the area where even high-performing practices often struggle most.  08:03 - A deeper look at compliance reveals why patient follow-through is the leading indicator of long-term retention and retained revenue.  13:33 - The conversation introduces four critical agreements that determine whether a patient relationship begins with alignment or hidden friction.  15:50 - A sharp distinction reveals how weak retention is often the symptom of a weak start rather than a failure later in the patient journey.  19:18 - Dr. Stephen reframes conversion as a dialogue built around ownership, goals, and a clearly defined path forward.  21:12 - The hidden power of “wanting” emerges as the bridge between patient interest and long-term commitment to care.  23:23 - A practical metaphor illustrates how consistent momentum compounds when patients understand the value of staying in rhythm.  24:18 - The real breakthrough appears when patients connect recurring health challenges to the daily habits and stresses that keep recreating them.  29:53 - A deeper understanding of care becomes the turning point where compliance evolves into genuine belief and long-term retention.  31:19 - Scalability is redefined through retention as the conversation connects compliance, patient loyalty, and sustainable business growth. 34:06 - Dr. Lona sits down with Glen David from Success Partner Davlen Designs to explore how smarter clinic design can drive practice growth without adding square footage. Glen shares how strategic use of space, workflow optimization, and data-driven planning help practices improve efficiency, enhance patient experience, and create greater capacity to serve more people while scaling sustainably.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Davlen Design please visit: https://www.davlendesign.com/  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

What do high school debate team, chemistry labs, law school burnout, and credit card points all have in common?Apparently… they can all lead to becoming a startup CEO.In this episode of The Inventive Journey, Devin Miller sits down with Travis Cormier to unpack one of the most unconventional entrepreneurial journeys we've featured on the show. Travis shares how his path evolved from “super nerd” debate competitor to aspiring astrophysicist, law school student, chemist, freelance writer, COO, and eventually CEO of a rapidly growing media company.Along the way, Travis reveals the pivotal moments that shaped his career — including the realization that prestige and fulfillment are not always the same thing.After initially pursuing law school with dreams of working in a major firm, Travis quickly discovered that the lifestyle attached to those prestigious careers didn't align with the life he actually wanted. Hearing attorneys proudly describe their ability to work until midnight from home while “only” working three weekends per month became a wake-up call that forced him to reconsider his future.That decision eventually led him back into chemistry, where he built a stable career while quietly exploring entrepreneurial opportunities on the side.Then came the Maldives honeymoon.When Travis and his wife began planning their honeymoon, he discovered just how expensive luxury travel could be. Instead of giving up, he became obsessed with learning how travel rewards and credit card points worked. That curiosity introduced him to the travel media world and ultimately opened the door to freelance writing opportunities.What started as side income soon evolved into something much larger.Travis climbed from freelance contributor to editor, then into operational leadership before becoming COO of the business. Over the next several years, the company experienced explosive growth — scaling roughly 1,400% while growing its team and expanding its audience through strategic community building.Today, Travis serves as CEO and is helping guide the company through its next phase of operational maturity and long-term sustainability.Throughout the conversation, Travis shares valuable lessons about:Career pivots and professional identityEscaping prestige trapsStartup growth and scalingCommunity-driven business modelsLeadership transitionsOperational strategyTesting business ideasKnowing when to kill products that no longer serve the businessBuilding sustainable entrepreneurial momentumOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the importance of finding the lane your business can truly own.While many brands chase every possible growth channel, Travis explains how their company focused heavily on community-building — particularly within Facebook groups — and turned that focus into a major competitive advantage.He also discusses one of the hardest entrepreneurial realities: sometimes founders become emotionally attached to products or ideas that customers simply do not want.That lesson became painfully clear after realizing one product they loved internally had only a handful of active users while still costing thousands of dollars per month to maintain.As Travis explains, passion matters — but market demand matters more.This episode is packed with honest insights for founders, entrepreneurs, career changers, and anyone trying to figure out how to align ambition with lifestyle design.If you've ever questioned your career path, wondered whether prestige is worth the tradeoffs, or tried to navigate the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, this conversation will resonate deeply.Because sometimes the journey to becoming a CEO doesn't begin with a startup accelerator…Sometimes it begins with trying to afford a honeymoon.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Step into Episode 214 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Jeremiah, Air Force veteran, mortgage broker, and multi-unit franchisee of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, for a candid conversation about building multiple businesses, staying grounded through discipline, and why family-focused frozen treats are a surprisingly powerful vehicle for entrepreneurship. From opening his first location next to Corona del Sol High School in Chandler to expanding with a drive-through near Cardinal Stadium in Glendale, Jeremiah brings real talk on what it takes to run two companies at once without letting either one fall apart.The conversation covers Jeremiah's remarkable origin story — born in Guyana, raised in Brooklyn, trained as an Air Force veteran, and pivoting from aviation to mortgages to franchising — and why he's never once thought about retiring.

spent $135,000 to spend the day with Alex Hormozi.  Here's what he taught me about the conversion process and selling chiropractic care.  If patients are not saying yes to care, the problem may not be your passion, your systems, or even your recommendations - it's your offer.  Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down why so many chiropractors struggle to convert despite deeply believing in what they do. Drawing from Dr. Stephen's recent coaching experience with Alex Hormozi and the framework of the irresistible offer, this conversation unpacks the four factors that shape every conversion decision: dream outcome, perceived likelihood of achievement, time delay, and effort and sacrifice. From learning how to stop selling process and start selling transformation to creating a patient journey that feels clear, trustworthy, and achievable, this episode gives chiropractors a practical roadmap for increasing conversion, strengthening certainty, and helping more people commit to care with confidence. In This Episode You Will: Understand why conversion constraints often begin with an unclear offer.  Learn how to sell the transformation instead of the process.  Discover the four parts of an irresistible patient offer.  Clarify how trust, proof, and certainty increase patient belief.  See how a clear roadmap makes care feel easier to commit to. Episode Highlights 01:04 - Identify why the question is not whether conversion has a constraint, but where that restraint is showing up. 04:12 - Discover how an irresistible offer becomes the first lens for diagnosing a stalled conversion process. 05:55 - Clarify why patients do not buy services, systems, or procedures before they believe in the transformation. 09:36 - Recognize how selling the outcome changes the emotional weight of the entire conversion conversation. 13:10 - Explore the four-part value equation that shapes whether a patient says yes or hesitates. 18:26 - Understand why conversion becomes a skill when the dream outcome is made specific, emotional, and compelling. 23:32 - Reveal how proof, testimonials, and certainty increase a patient's belief that care can work for them. 27:05 - Examine how time delay becomes a conversion restraint when patients cannot see a faster path to results. 29:19 - Differentiate between a hard process and a supported process that makes commitment feel possible. 34:42 - Recognize how the right offer combines accountability, support, and clarity into a decision patients can trust. 36:15 - As a Success Partner, Chiro-Ads Academy brings a powerful, in-house approach to digital marketing that helps practices take control of new patient acquisition. As Dr. Eric sits down with Dr. Travis Stewart, the conversation reveals how early struggles with inconsistent agency results led to a proven system that lowers lead costs, improves conversion, and drives predictable growth through trust-based advertising and data-driven decision-making. If you are ready to create consistent, scalable growth you will want to explore how this system can transform your practice.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Chiro Ads please visit: www.makingmuvs.com/TRP Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?
