For 135 years Chiropractors have been lied to…They've been told that you are either in it for the patients - or in it for the money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Where you land on this issue can be the #1 determiner of your practice and business success - and the joy that you experience from both. Most chiropractors say they want to grow, but very few are truly fluent in the language of money. In this final installment of the five-part series on the two sides of the chiropractic coin, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the financial side of a Remarkable Business and why understanding revenue, margin, and profit is not optional for sustainable impact. They clarify the distinction between a healthy practice and a healthy business, introduce the five essential financial KPIs every CEO must master, and challenge the belief that working harder solves financial problems. When you understand how money works, you stop guessing, start leading, and build a business that funds your mission rather than drains it. In This Episode You Will: Understand the difference between collections and revenue in business terms Learn the five essential financial KPIs every chiropractic CEO must track See how gross profit margin determines whether your business is truly scalable Discover why associate doctor models often break financially Clarify how stewardship, pricing, and overhead directly impact your net profit Episode Highlights 01:53 - Discover the critical distinction between the practice side and the business side of the chiropractic coin and why mastering both is essential for long-term success. 02:30 - Understand that greater impact and greater income are naturally connected when your business is structured properly. 04:40 - Recognize that a remarkable practice does not automatically equal a remarkable business and why both must be intentionally built. 11:40 - Reflect on the limiting belief that making money is enough, when true stewardship requires understanding how money actually works. 12:21 - See how avoiding accounting creates blind spots that prevent optimization and leave profit on the table. 16:09 - Learn why tracking collections consistently is foundational to operational and financial control. 16:39 - Clarify how Collection Visit Average reveals whether you are truly profitable per adjustment. 17:53 - Discover why Monthly Recurring Revenue creates stability, predictability, and long-term sustainability. 22:11 - Understand that gross profit margin determines whether scaling your practice is wise or financially dangerous. 26:28 - Recognize that net profit margin and absolute net profit are the ultimate indicators of financial health and CEO-level leadership. 27:34 - Dr. Kevin Day is joined by Success Partner, Dr. Jeff Langmaid of The Smart Chiropractor to discuss using consistent email communication to improve patient retention, reactivations, and overall profitability. They discuss key metrics like net momentum and lifetime value, emphasizing that keeping and reactivating patients is far more cost-effective than constantly acquiring new ones, leading to stronger, more sustainable practice growth.

When Joshua Ruff's heart stopped for three minutes, everything changed.Living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) since childhood, Joshua had already navigated a lifetime of disability, adaptation, and resilience. But in 2020, a sudden cardiac arrest during the early days of COVID forced him into a profound reckoning with mortality, fear, and what actually matters.Unable to speak and communicating only through his eyes, Joshua was told he might never return home. Instead, that moment became the catalyst for a new way of living. One centred on human connection, creative purpose, and letting go of fear.In this powerful conversation, Joshua shares how surviving cardiac arrest reshaped his outlook on life, relationships, and ambition. He opens up about growing up with DMD, the emotional toll of teenage years, and the quiet pressure to always appear positive as a wheelchair user. We explore how gardening became both therapy and vocation, leading to the creation of Henle Gardens, a lavender farm producing oil, products, and community experiences.This episode is about disability, yes. But more than that, it is about meaning, independence, love, and choosing to live fully without apology.Key Topics CoveredSurviving a cardiac arrest and communicating only through eye movementLiving with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and challenging early life expectancy narrativesLetting go of fear after facing deathGardening as purpose, therapy, and businessBuilding an accessible lavender farm and producing lavender oilIndependence, support systems, and redefining successWhy people with disability are elite problem solversRelationships, self-worth, and rejecting the idea of being a burdenPositivity, grief, and the danger of masking emotionsNotable Moments“The most important thing is human connection. Everything else doesn't matter.”“My heart stopped for three minutes, and somehow that freed me.”“I didn't believe I deserved a relationship. That belief almost cost me one.”“People with disability are the best problem solvers because life never gives us the easy path.”“Independence for me is choice, not doing everything alone.”About Joshua RuffJoshua Ruff is a gardener, lavender producer, and founder of Henle Gardens in regional Victoria. Living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Joshua has transformed personal adversity into creative expression, community connection, and entrepreneurship.After surviving cardiac arrest in 2020, he committed to building a life driven by purpose rather than fear. Today, his lavender farm produces oil, dried lavender products, and hosts garden visits, festivals, and community groups, proving that accessibility and beauty are not mutually exclusive.

Dr. Lona walks through the eight elements that quietly shape practice growth, patient retention, and daily energy inside your office.

Most teams are capable of far more than they are currently giving, but the gap is rarely about effort or attitude. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete break down why discretionary energy is the true driver of performance and how leaders unintentionally suppress it by failing to connect people to the business model. When team members understand how their daily work influences revenue, profit, and opportunity, alignment replaces compliance and energy rises naturally. By shifting focus from motivation to measurement, leaders gain a clear framework for evaluating managers, strengthening team capacity, and creating sustainable growth without burnout.In This Episode You Will:Identify where discretionary energy is being lost inside the teamRecognize which people metrics reveal leadership effectivenessSee how manager performance shows up through team resultsEvaluate when team capacity is approaching a breaking pointApply clearer financial alignment to increase focus and engagement Episode Highlights01:33 - Discretionary energy is introduced as the hidden gear inside every team member that leadership either activates through alignment or suppresses through misalignment.02:19 - Financial alignment is framed as the missing link between daily responsibilities, revenue, profit, and why team members should care about business performance.03:17 - The four requirements of a world-class team are clarified as right people, right seats, right work, done the right way.04:46 - Employee stickmo begins, revealing how long A players actually stay and how turnover often exposes management or cultural breakdowns.06:38 - Employee net promoter score is introduced as a leadership diagnostic measuring whether team members would enthusiastically refer others to work in the organization.09:39 - Internal patient referrals from staff are positioned as a real-time indicator of engagement, belief, and cultural buy-in.12:22 - Direct report goals completed is identified as the most powerful KPI for evaluating manager effectiveness and team performance.13:26 - The 80 percent goal completion standard is defined as the benchmark for healthy management and accountability.14:43 - Labor cost begins as a COO-owned metric directly tied to profitability, cost of services delivered, and operational stewardship.17:03 - Revenue per employee is introduced as the key indicator for identifying $250,000 growth breakpoints before capacity strain causes the business to stall or break.

Retention is not something to fix at the end of care. It is something to build from the very first interaction. Join Dr. Lona and Dr. Kevin Day as they unpack why most practices lose patients without realizing where or why the leak begins. They explore retention as a system that starts at conversion, deepens through clarity and consistency, and is sustained by education, accountability, and philosophical certainty. The payoff is a practice built on trust, momentum, and patients who understand how to care for their bodies for life.Key Highlights00:56 – Naming the often-unseen ways patients drift out of care and why retention problems are harder to spot than they seem02:56 – Reframing retention as something established early rather than repaired later in the care journey04:32 – Viewing practice growth through the lens of one patient at a time rather than volume or shortcuts05:54 – How early signals like phone calls and online presence quietly shape long-term expectations07:14 – The compounding effect of consistent experiences on trust, safety, and follow-through09:17 – The tension between wanting to explain everything and knowing when less is more11:01 – The influence of philosophical grounding on confidence, communication, and decision-making14:36 – Using progress checkpoints as moments of alignment rather than routine obligations18:13 – Holding patients accountable in a way that reinforces partnership instead of pressure22:54 – Education as an ongoing relationship that supports retention beyond symptom relief Resources MentionedJoin the TRP Remarkable Attraction Immersion - Oct 10 and 11 in Phoenix, AZ and Oct 24 & 25 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

Most practices track numbers, but very few track the metrics that actually drive growth. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down the ten measurements that determine whether a practice is building momentum or quietly leaking it. This conversation reframes metrics away from surface-level activity and into leadership tools that reveal retention, stability, and profitability. By clearly separating practice metrics from business metrics, the framework shows how operational performance and financial outcomes are directly connected. The result is clarity and control. When the right metrics are measured consistently, decisions become simpler, leadership becomes stronger, and growth becomes predictable.In This Episode You Will:Understand the10 core metrics that determine retention and long-term growthLearn how practice-side metrics and business-side metrics work togetherSee why retention begins at conversion and compounds through complianceDiscover which numbers reveal truth versus vanityClarify how better measurement leads to better leadership decisionsEpisode Highlights06:34 - Dr. Pete frames the series around the two sides of the coin and why commitment is the center that makes both work08:30 - Dr. Stephen clarifies the three identities required to grow: doctor, operator, and business owner14:26 - The conversation defines KPIs as the measurement system that organizes focus and exposes what to fixPractice Metrics19:14 - Stick rate defines how long people stay under care and where retention breaks down by visits, months, or milestones22:32 - Kept visit average (KVA) is introduced as the daily retention signal showing how consistently people show up as scheduled25:24 - Compliance percentage is established as the core retention driver indicating whether patients follow care recommendations26:37 - Inactives and churn rate expose how many people are silently leaving and why defining “active” matters31:30 - Total active patients reframes growth away from visits per week and toward the size of the active care baseBusiness Metrics33:29 - Collection visit average (CVA) measures what the practice collects per visit and can be segmented by stage of care35:06 - Lifetime value (LTV) connects retention to economics by combining patient visit average with collection visit average39:49 - Total revenue is tied back to retention through volume of visits driven by people staying in care40:29 - Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and annual recurring revenue (ARR) are positioned as the stability engine of the model41:51 - Retained revenue measures the durability of the recurring model by showing how much revenue stays after churn Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Business Immersion March 6 - 7, 2026 in Phoenix, AZ and March 20 - 21, 2026 in Brisbane, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/ To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit: http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceoBook a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPCPrefer to watch?

Growth doesn't always announce itself with big moves or fast wins. Often, it shows up through consistency, restraint, and a willingness to stay anchored when things get uncomfortable. Dr. Lona is joined by Dr. Pete Brettingen for an honest reflection on what growth has looked like across the seasons of his career, from early mentorship and philosophical grounding to scaling practices and leading teams.

Should construction companies sort out their data before using AI? Or can AI sort it out for them?We put two heavyweights in the ring to fight it out.In one corner: Dustin DeVan, one of the most decorated CEOs in construction tech. Exited Building Connected for $275M. Now running Ediphi. He's seen $400M liens and knows what happens when your data falls apart in litigation.In the other corner: KP Reddy, serial entrepreneur, founder, investor, and the man with 48 career experiences on LinkedIn (yes, we counted). He's backed by the biggest names in AEC and has been building stuff since he was a kid.Dustin says get your house in order first. He's been through a $400M lien. Messy records in court? Not fun.KP disagrees. Projects end, teams move on, data ends up everywhere. That's just how construction works. AI can make sense of the mess.One thing they agreed on — Excel isn't going anywhere.No punches pulled. No fluff.Who won? You decide.
Seth Bradley interviews Bronson Hill, sharing how Bronson transitioned from a high-paying medical sales career into full-time capital raising and built a business that has raised nearly $60 million. Bronson explains why capital raising is fundamentally a sales and relationship-driven process, how authenticity and transparency have helped him retain investor trust through a difficult market cycle, and why cash flow has become more important than appreciation for many investors. He also breaks down the evolution from co-GP structures to fund-of-funds models, the importance of compliance and professionalism, and how systems, partnerships, and investor experience play a critical role in scaling a sustainable capital aggregation business.

Growth does not break down because chiropractors lack passion. It breaks down because conversion systems and metrics are either unclear, slow, or unmanaged. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down the exact conversion and sales metrics that separate busy offices from scalable, profitable businesses, and why mastering them is no longer optional in 2026. They unpack how speed, clarity, and conviction drive patient commitment, how operational KPIs translate into real revenue, and why recurring metrics reveal the true health of your business.

Momentum is rarely lost all at once. It drifts when focus, energy, and rhythm quietly slip out of alignment. In this conversation, Dr. Lona and returning guest Dr. Rachel Hovey, unpack how practice owners can reset their internal energy, reestablish leadership rhythms, and guide their teams forward after seasons of disruption or low momentum.

What does it look like when a leadership legend actually lives the principles he teaches? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with Martha Lawrence, author of the new biography "Catch People Doing Things Right", and longtime collaborator with Ken Blanchard—the leadership icon behind "The One Minute Manager". Martha offers a rare behind-the-scenes view of how Blanchard's ideas became timeless, scalable, and globally adoptable. This is not a "how he got started" story. It's a masterclass in thought leadership that works in the real world. Martha breaks down why Ken's approach—simple, human, and relentlessly practical—still wins in today's noisy, distracted, algorithm-driven world. The message holds because it's built on what never changes: people. Peter and Martha go deep on what has shifted in publishing and platform-building over the last 40 years. Fewer gatekeepers. More fragmentation. Less time. More pressure on authors to act like CEOs. Podcasting replaces book tours. Brand clarity beats broad exposure. And the book isn't the business—it's the business card for a larger value ecosystem. They also explore what separates a "famous author" from a durable thought leadership enterprise. The Blanchard organization didn't just depend on Ken as the rock star. It scaled the IP, built culture around it, and created a leadership brand that outlives any single personality. That's rare. And it's instructive. If you care about creating a thought leadership platform that drives real business outcomes—without losing the humanity—this conversation will give you both strategy and signal. It's a reminder that servant leadership isn't soft. It's scalable. And it's still a competitive advantage. Three Key Takeaways: • Simple wins when it's built on real principles. Ken Blanchard's genius wasn't complexity—it was accessibility. The One Minute Manager style made leadership ideas easy to absorb, apply, and share. That "human" voice is now the playbook for today's biggest thought leaders. • The message is timeless because leadership is still about people. Even with everything changing—technology, AI, publishing—the core truth remains: performance comes from people. The episode reinforces Blanchard's central idea that people matter as much as results, and that the best leadership is servant leadership: serve, don't be served. • The strongest thought leadership platforms scale beyond the thought leader. Blanchard wasn't built around a "rock star founder." It was built around IP, culture, and systems—so the work lasts even when Ken isn't in the room. That's how you move from "guru business" to a durable enterprise. If today's conversation with Martha Lawrence resonated—especially the idea that simple leadership principles can scale, stick, and drive results—you'll want to go straight to our episode with Ken Blanchard. It's the "source code" behind the philosophy. You'll hear Ken unpack what servant leadership really looks like, why it works, and how to build a leadership approach that people actually adopt. No theory. No fluff. Just practical, proven leadership you can use immediately. Listen to the Ken Blanchard episode next and connect the dots between the story Martha shared and the thinking that built a global leadership platform.

Transitions are inevitable in practice ownership, but how you move through them determines whether they create stress or strength. From team changes to leadership shifts, moments of transition test clarity, trust, and decision-making more than any growth plan ever will.Dr. Lona welcomes back Dr. Chris Grier for an honest conversation about leading through change without forcing outcomes. Together, they explore why accountability creates stability before disruption hits, how intuition works alongside structure, and why discomfort is often the signal that real growth is happening.

What does the founder of a chiropractic enterprise at the center of a nine-figure exit know about buying and selling practices? A lot. The difference between a profitable exit and walking away with nothing is not timing - it's planning. When you plan your exit early, every decision in your practice starts to work differently. Building a practice to sell - with “the end in mind” - is a cultural thing that shapes and improves everything. Production, delivery, systems, team, collections and profit all go up; but so does impact, fulfillment and fun. Dr. Stephen sits down with Dr. Stuart Bernsen to break down what real exit planning looks like for chiropractic practices today. They unpack the difference between owning a job and building a business, why most practices never sell, and how private equity and rollups are already reshaping chiropractic. You'll hear how Dr. Stuart scaled Chiro One from a single practice to a multi-state platform, what investors actually look for, and why exit readiness creates freedom long before you ever sell. This conversation reframes exit planning as a growth strategy, not a finish line. Interested in learning more about corporate roll-ups?

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Ryan Rottman, the hardest thing in growing a small business is knowing when to pivot. He emphasizes listening closely to customers, recognizing early signs that something isn't working, and having the courage to change direction before wasting too much time, money, and energy on the wrong path. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ryan Rottman's favorite business book that's helped him the most is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries — he often says its principles of rapid testing, validated learning, and iterative growth were game-changers in how he approached building and scaling Athlete Agent. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ryan Rottman recommends learning from practical, founder-led resources, especially podcasts like How I Built This, Masters of Scale, and The Tim Ferriss Show for real stories on growth, resilience, and decision-making, along with hands-on platforms like Y Combinator Startup School and HubSpot Academy for actionable lessons that help small businesses scale smarter. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ryan Rottman often points to project management and customer engagement tools as must-haves for small business growth. One he recommends is Notion — it's great for organizing ideas, goals, workflows, and team collaboration all in one place. For customer growth and marketing, he also suggests HubSpot CRM, which helps track leads, manage contacts, and automate marketing without a huge budget. Both tools are practical, scalable, and especially helpful when you're building structure and consistency in your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Ryan Rottman, his advice to himself on day one would be to focus intently on what customers actually need, not on your own initial vision. He would stress communicating with concise clarity to earn quicker and more meaningful responses. He recommends building a firm but fair management style by setting clear expectations from the beginning. Additionally, he advises pivoting decisively when the data shows a need, rather than delaying out of pride. Finally, he emphasizes developing a resilient mindset to withstand rejection and persevere through challenges.

If you feel stuck at the end of the year, this conversation walks you through a different kind of self audit. Instead of only pushing harder inside your office, Dr. Lona encourages you to look at money habits, the people who influence you, how much you rest and play, and the way you care for your body, mind, and spirit. You'll see how small shifts in flow, boundaries, and self care can open the door to more abundance, better energy, and a life that actually matches the level of growth you say you want in 2026.Key Highlights01:13 – Hear why feeling stuck at year end is a signal to audit your life outside the office so growth can feel lighter, not heavier.03:28 – Learn from a simple “double your visits” money exercise that reveals hidden beliefs about abundance and what more income would really change for you.05:18 – Look at how you move money, both in business and at home, so you can see where fear, lack, or lack of structure might be capping your growth.07:23 – Explore how small, consistent money habits, saving rhythms, and clear systems create flow that supports paying down debt, building wealth, and calm decision-making.08:28 – Audit the influence of friends and family so you can set healthier boundaries, receive the right advice, and stop letting other people's fears shape your vision.11:13 – Reflect on how much fun, rest, and vacation time you allowed yourself this year so you can correct burnout or distraction and find your right rhythm again.12:53 – Decide whether your next season needs more focused grind or more life-giving routines like movement, gratitude, and morning rituals that recharge your energy.14:38 – Check your physical fitness so your body can handle higher volume, using simple daily movement to keep your strength, stamina, and mental clarity where they need to be.16:13 – Build emotional and mental fitness so you can hold space in open bays, be present for both joy and grief, and not carry every outcome on your shoulders.19:38 – Bring it all together with a full audit of money, people, rest, fitness, and spiritual connection so you can enter 2026 with energy, alignment, and room to grow.

Most companies plateau. Brad shows you why and how to break through. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars explains the real ceilings businesses hit at $1M, $3M, and $10M and what it actually takes to push past each one. He breaks down the “million-dollar founder ceiling,” where everything still runs through you; the $3M systems ceiling, where the business is trapped in people's heads instead of documented processes; and the $10M leadership ceiling, where growth stalls because you haven't built leaders who can build the next phase.Brad also dives into the biggest enemy of scale: complexity. He explains why simplifying products, narrowing focus, and doing the one thing you can be the best in the world at is the fastest path to $100M. He shares lessons from Apple, McDonald's, and even Cheesecake Factory to show how modularization and clarity unlock leverage.From there, Brad walks you through the real choke points that stop companies from scaling, and how each one suffocates growth if you don't solve it early. He then lays out the path forward: building systems at $1M, building leaders at $3M, and building strategy at $10M, so you can scale from there to $100M and beyond.If you want to understand exactly why businesses stall, and what to do next, this is the episode for you. See you next week, on the 100M Entrepreneur Podcast, new episode every Wednesday.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

Most companies hire. The best ones recruit. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars, founder and chairman of Action Coach, explains why relying on job posts keeps businesses stuck — and why real scale comes from actively finding, attracting, and keeping A-players. He breaks down the true difference between hiring and recruiting, the principle behind A's hiring A's, and how a single great person can completely transform a company's trajectory. Brad shares real examples from his own businesses — recruiting a competitor's top salesperson, bringing in a server who boosted dessert sales overnight, and building teams that multiply results instead of divide them. He also lays out the simple three-page process he uses before filling any role: getting clear on who he wants, what the job truly is, and how success will be measured.Brad then breaks down the leadership framework that turns talent into real performance — vision, mission, values, and OKRs to set direction, along with strong communication, decision-making, and feedback to drive execution. He explains why culture isn't a slogan; culture is strategy, and it's the strongest magnet for A-players.He also shares a simple method for evaluating your team across competency, productivity, passion, and focus, giving you a clear picture of who's driving growth and where improvements matter most.If you're ready to recruit like the pros, elevate your leadership, and build a team that builds the company, hit play.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

There's a difference between understanding a concept and embodying the truth that is encoded in that concept.Knowledge will only get you so far— that's why life long learners are often left behind by less educated action takers. What if you could weave knowledge into revenue generating implementation? What if you could move with the purpose, intention and undeniable value that produces millions?This is the exact kind of waterfall that I lead my clients to create. As they step into the waters of clarity, their crown chakra is fully immersed in white light energy that flows down through their energetic field and pools all around them into the bliss of the overflow. My clients learn to serve from this limitless resource, calling in the income and the impact that they were born to have and to hold in the empires they are building.You have already changed. You have come so far. You have built so much, learned so much, and desire so much… but without embodying truth, you will forever remain an outsider looking in, watching the beauty of the waterfall rather than becoming it.When you learn to deepen your connection to your higher self as you shed the layers of who you used to be, you can activate beyond your previous limitation. You will shed the old skin of self sabotage patterns and claim the new light of self sovereignty as you bask in the sun drenched waters of wealth and abundance. You have more capacity than you currently know… this limitless energetic field is waiting for you to rewire and rewrite your story as you transmute old trauma patterns into transformational energy that moves the masses.This is more than mentorship— it is the mirror of your future self. Once you can see who you are meant to become, your deep desire to activate what is already yours becomes the fuel for your embodiment. Together, we will birth your empire into existence.Six figure months that become cash injection six figure days faster than you ever imagined possible as we rewire your subconscious energetic alignment before applying active mindset techniques and creative development strategies.This is the power unleashed inside of UMBRELLA. We make it rain, not because we are rainmakers, but rather because we embody the self defining fact that we are the MF Storm.
