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.

You have been tired for a while now. Not lazy tired... no one would ever accuse you of that! And your tired is not the kind of tired that a good night's sleep or stealing a few hours on the weekend to recover actually fixes. It's more like the kind of tired that is just always there, underneath everything, no matter what you do. You're still showing up, still getting it done, still being everything for everyone...but it's costing you more than it used to, and you know it. The weight is shifting and nothing you've tried is moving it. The brain fog is making you question yourself at work. The mood swings are catching you off guard. And somewhere in the back of your mind you're wondering if this is just what your 40's & 50's are supposed to feel like. (It's not.) In this episode, I am sitting down with Bria Gadd, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, holistic health coach, and host of the top 1% global wellness podcast The Period Whisperer, and we are getting into exactly what is happening in your body and why the harder you push, the worse you feel. (Been there, done that!) What Bria and I unpack in this conversation will shift the way you think about everything. Why your symptoms are not a betrayal, they are a message. Why the instinct to do more, eat less, and push through is the very thing keeping you stuck. What has to change in your thinking before any supplement, protocol, or therapy will actually work. And one of the most searched topics in women's wellness right now...peptides. What they actually are, what the research supports, the real danger of jumping straight to peptide therapy before you've addressed the root, and what it looks like to use them the right way at the right time. You are not falling apart. You are a high-achieving woman whose body has been running a deficit for a long time, and it is finally asking you to listen. This conversation will help you do exactly that. Your most vibrant, energized, clear-headed years are not behind you. They are ahead of you and this episode is a step toward them! I pray this blesses you abundantly today!

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?

To grow the value of your business, consider this. If your business burns down, you’ve got whatever… desks, furniture and things like that. That stuff’s all insured. You should be able to come back from that okay. But if your book of business burns down, right? If you still have all this overhead, but you don’t have that book of business anymore, you are really in trouble. Because if you have desks, and furniture, and technology but you don’t have the ability to sell to the people that you need to sell to, what’s that really worth? All of that is just overhead. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland, and I will be discussing building the value of your business. Welcome back Jay. Jay: Hey, I’m so glad to be here, David. Once again, you hit me with another term, Do I really know what the value of my business is? And value has such a different meaning for so many, right? Value could be. Well, it gives me free time. I hate my business, but it gives me free time. So it’s of great value. Or it’s of great value because I have all these shiny toys, you know, those types of things. So I think value could be very different for different people. David: Yeah, it absolutely can. Particularly when we’re thinking about business owners versus salespeople. When I think about business value, I mean what is it worth to someone else if they wanted to buy it from you. For a business owner, what would someone actually pay for the business? For a salesperson, what is your book of business worth? If you’re building something up and somebody wanted to buy your book of business, what would that be worth? That’s what I was thinking of in terms of value. But you touched on a lot of other great points regarding the term. Jay: Yeah, like I said, there’s so many other things. I’ve talked to people who have said, yeah, I’m thinking about selling my business. And I ask them, well, what’s it worth? They often look at me like I have no idea whatsoever. In fact, I was working for Kinko’s way back when, when they wanted to sell. And they wanted to go public first, and the SEC came in and said, you don’t know what you own. You don’t know what you owe. You don’t know anything about your business. And you have the worst paperwork system we’ve ever seen in our lives. You’re not going public. And so they went and found a private buyer, which was FedEx, who went and bought FedEx Kinko’s. So just in how you manage your business can affect the value of that business. David: Yeah, absolutely. And for a lot of people, the value of their business isn’t going to be FedEx Kinko’s worthy, very likely. Jay: Yeah. David: But still, it’s good to know. And, for some it might be worth more than that. But for most people, particularly small to medium sized businesses, when they’re looking to sell, they really don’t have any idea of what the business is worth or what it could be worth to someone else. And in different industries, there are different metrics and multipliers that people use. They say, okay, well, we’re going to take a multiple of your net value. In other words, what is, bottom line, after owner’s compensation and things like that. They have a number of different metrics that people use. But in a lot of cases, that’s what it boils down to. What’s it likely to be worth to someone else? Glen Holt was a professional in the promotional products industry for a long time. He was one of my mentors in the early days. I remember him saying that when people are looking to buy a business, what they’re really paying for is the likelihood of future business. Because the only way I want to spend a dime on a business is if I know it’s going to generate a high multiple of that over a period of time. Whether it’s two years or five years, or seven years or ten years, whatever that multiple ends up being. At some point I know that I’m going to be able to recoup my investment and make more going forward. Jay: Yeah, exactly. Maybe you envision running this business forever and then you hand it off to your kids and their kids. But a lot of parents find out their kids don’t want the business. So it’s not easy to offload it that way. But I like the idea of even if you’re never considering running your business, things happen. Right? Medical things happen. Emergencies happen. You may find yourself someday saying, “I don’t want to sell. But I have to sell because of my circumstances.” So I think always running your business in a way that if you had to sell, you’d have your numbers in line. You’ve built your value, you have a clientele. I think that may be just a good mindset. David: Yeah. It’s also a good mindset if you think about the fact that some people don’t want to sell their businesses. That’s perfectly fine. But the thing that you have to realize is that if you don’t sell your business, then who bought it? You did, right? Jay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. David: You bought it with your time, your energy, your effort, all the hours that you put into it. So it’s good to be able to say, “okay, I know what I’ve put into this.” If you even get a value of what it might be worth to someone else, you can say, “would I be willing to pay that for this business?” Right? Or the amount of time and energy and effort that I put in, would I want it to be worth more than that? So I think it’s a good metric to know from our own standpoint in terms of what’s the business worth or what’s the book of business worth to someone else. But also how am I doing in terms of what I was hoping to build when I started out? Jay: Yeah, that’s a good question. What were you expecting to build and where are you now and what more can you do? I think there’s also some sticker shock when you think your business is worth one thing and someone comes in and says, “oh, I think it’s worth half that.” You’re like, “wait a minute, this is my baby! I built this thing. It has to be worth more than that.” David: Right, but there are metrics that you can use to make those determinations. And chances are, if you go to sell your business, somebody’s going to tell you they think it’s worth less than you do. But that’s where you have to make a determination as well and say, “okay, well look, if you were to buy this business, in three and a half years, you would be able to get your money back even if you just maintain it,” right? So, and if they say, “well, I only want to pay, you know, a year’s worth,” then you can say, “all right, well we probably don’t have a fit here,” or whatever. But as long as you’ve got the metrics to back it up, to say, okay, we’re doing this amount of sales after our costs, we’re doing this amount. If you take out what the owner’s being compensated, then this is what you would have left at the end of each year. And then you use that as some sort of multiple to say. Is it two years? Is it three years? Three and a half, five, seven, whatever you can get. Now, there are some companies, particularly in the tech space, and particularly if they’re recurring revenue companies, that they can sell for high multiples of what they’re bringing in each year. It just depends on what people feel that it’s worth and also, what they think they’ll be able to do with it. Because if somebody has a book of business and they’re selling whatever, a quarter million, half a million dollars a year, I’m talking about a salesperson and they want to retire. If they were to sell their book of business to someone else, and that person was going to look at it and say, well, I think I can probably maintain that for a certain number of years. Then they would value it based on that. If they looked at it and said, I think I can do twice what this guy’s doing with this book of business, then they might value it higher. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: So a lot of it has to do with the person that you are looking to potentially sell to as well. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. And I also think just some of the more simpler things like staffing, you know, who’s running the place when you’re not there? What does the place look like? Is the equipment updated? Because, you know, that’s what I’m thinking. Am I going to have to come in here and update all of this equipment? Will I have ongoing capital costs? Am I going to have all of these things? You may think you’re saving a dollar now, but if you do have to sell, it’s really going to hurt yourself in the long run. David: Yeah, and we didn’t even really talk about things like that because it depends on the kind of business that you have. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: If you’ve got a lot of overhead, if you’ve got furniture, fixtures, real estate, all those types of things, those are all going to play into it. I was really thinking more in terms of small businesses or a book of business that a salesperson has, where it’s primarily their book of business that they’re selling. Because in those situations, when people buy businesses too, they very often prefer to do an asset sale. They only want to buy assets of the business so that if there were any potential issues with the business before, if somebody was going to try to sue the business or whatever, that wouldn’t potentially come with a sale. So they’d say, “I just want to buy certain assets. I want to buy your customer base. Maybe I want to buy certain furniture and fixtures. I want to take along certain employees.” So they can sort of cherry pick the things that they want to buy from the business. But I don’t want to get too much into the weeds on this. I think for anyone who has been considering the idea of, okay, what is my business or my book of business worth? What do I need to look at? And so some of it would be to say, okay, what type of clients do I have? Do I have a base of high value clients? People who spend money with me consistently? Because if I do, that’s going to be worth a whole lot more than if I’m getting one-off and two off orders from lots of different people, and it’s coming from all kinds of different sources and I can’t say where it’s coming from. Jay: Right. David: When you know where your clients are coming from and you’re selling to them on an ongoing basis and you’ve got a lot of repeat and referral business, that’s a whole lot easier to sell. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. In fact, you know, I’m just going through this process right now. I am basically starting a company that is mirroring the company I work for, because they’re going out of business, and I was able to cherry pick the things that I liked, so, David: mm-hmm. Jay: Yes, give me your customer base. Yes, give me some of your systems with your website and things like that. Throw the rest away. I don’t want any of the other stuff because I didn’t feel like they were doing it right. So I really came away, like you said, with this book of business that I know is going to be of high value and high dollar for me. David: Yeah. And what a lot of people lose sight of sometimes is that that is really the primary value of a business. There are a lot of people in the print and promotions industry where they’ve got printing equipment and they’ve got all that sort of thing, inks and all sorts of things like that, which for the most part reflects overhead. That stuff that you’ve got to pay for, that then has to be paid back. And all of that’s going to be paid back by the customers that you’re able to bring in. So it’s all going to be dependent upon the business that’s coming in. So a lot of times the things that some business owners and also most banks, the thing that most banks look at as assets are to most business owners, actually liabilities because it’s overhead. And I’ve, said this a number of times when I’ve been speaking in public about this. One of the things that I’ve said very often is the fact that If your business burns down, you don’t want that to happen, right? But if your business burns down and you’ve got whatever, desks and furniture and things like that, that stuff’s all insured. You should be able to come back from that okay. But if your book of business burns down, right? If you still have all this overhead, but you don’t have that book of business anymore, you are really in trouble. Because if you’ve got desks and you’ve got furniture, and you’ve got technology and everything, and you don’t have the ability to sell to the people that you need to sell to, at that point, what’s that really worth? All of that becomes overhead. So it’s just good to think about. Jay: Well, and I also think, and I don’t know if this is on topic, with what you’re thinking of, but it really pops in my mind, is if you have different salespeople in your business and their book of business is treated as their book of business, if they leave, you’ve lost a portion of your clientele. And so it’s very important to somehow incorporate that into a customer management system where you can see everything that’s been going on, maybe have non-competes. Because in the situation I was in, I attained a certain level of knowledge that no one else in the company had. And so when I went to leave, they’re like, “we’re going to have to shut down because he is the only guy who knows this stuff.” And so offloading their information, offloading their customer base, making sure that it’s treated as your property if you do have a sales team, I think is absolutely critical. David: Yeah, absolutely is. In the promotional products industry in particular, a lot of businesses hire independent contractors. And when you’re an independent contractor, unless there are documents that say something different, you pretty much own that book of business. Jay: Yeah. David: If you’re an employee, if you’re a paid salesperson, if you’re on salary, then it’s very likely that the company owns that book of business, unless there’s some sort of documentation saying otherwise. So regardless of however you’re set up, it’s really smart to have some sort of clarification upfront when you join an organization. Okay, who owns these clients? Is it the salesperson? Is it the business? Because if you’re unclear on that stuff, that could lead to expensive legal issues down the line. Jay: Yeah. One person could walk out the door and that’s it. Then you’re rebuilding from scratch. David: Yeah, we have a manual system, that a number of businesses in the print and promotional products industry have used. And when we were promoting that at one point, one of the points that I made with that particular product was that if someone were to walk out of a bank with $250,000 that didn’t belong to them, that would be called bank robbery. It would be a crime. Jay: Yeah. Yeah. David: And they would send the police after you. But if a sales representative walks out of your business with $250,000 worth of business, if you don’t have the paperwork in place, there’s no crime there, right? Jay: Nope. David: You just lost it, and that person has it. Jay: That’s right. David: So you really want to make sure that stuff is nailed down in advance. Jay: Absolutely. I love this discussion. How can people find out more? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call to schedule a call with myself or my team. If you’re thinking about building up the value of your business, one of the best ways to do that is to have the systems and processes in place that will allow you to be able to sell it, move away from it, and have the person who buys it be able to expect to continue to grow that business and obtain a high return on investment. That’s what’s going to allow you to sell it for top dollar. If you don’t have systems and processes like that in place, it’d be great to have a conversation. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. David, once again, it’s always a pleasure. David: Thank you very much, Jay. Want to Grow the Value of Your Business?

A doctor finally says the number out loud: $5,000 for a six-month treatment plan. She is braced for conflict, embarrassment, and a “no.” Instead, the patient looks at the price and says she expected higher. That one moment exposes what quietly holds so many clinicians back from building a profitable private practice: it is rarely the patient, and rarely the market. It is the story we tell ourselves about charging for care.We walk through three common lies that keep doctors stuck under insurance pressure and low fees. First, “my patients will never pay out of pocket.” Patients already pay cash for deductibles, coinsurance, LASIK, cosmetic services, fitness, and more. The missing piece is a clear cash pay offer with real value and a confident presentation. Second, “if I go cash, I will lose everyone.” The hybrid practice model makes this a false choice. We can keep insurance for covered services while offering cash packages for what insurance does not cover, even serving one patient on both rails in the same visit.

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.

Is self-care biblical? Yes, sister, and we talk more about this straight from God's word. Then, I show you my own personal self care modalities that I do at home and you can too.

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't have hard money, you can't have tight money if you're not gonna do that. You gotta have loose money." Clem Chambers warns that rebuilding America's industrial base and AI infrastructure will require a massive "printathon" with elevated inflation for the next decade.

Cash pay. Self-pay. Concierge. For a lot of doctors, those words trigger the same mental image: you drop insurance on Friday and walk into an empty clinic on Monday. No patients, no income, just silence. We start by dismantling that fear and naming the real mistake behind it: trying to switch everything overnight. We walk you through a hybrid concierge practice model that lets you keep your insurance patients while you introduce cash-based services that insurance was never going to pay for properly anyway. Think of it like a hybrid car. You do not give up gasoline in one leap and hope the battery holds. You transition slowly, one plan at a time, and you remove the third-party payer from more and more of your work without betting your entire practice on a single risky move. Along the way we talk about why reimbursements keep dropping while overhead keeps rising, and why patients often blame the doctor when the billing feels unfair. You'll also hear real examples of physicians building this model in the wild, from a first self-pay surgical case to a single-day “stack” of services where insurance and cash run side by side. We introduce ARPV, average revenue per visit, and why raising the value of each visit can mean fewer patients, deeper care, and far less burnout. If you want a practical, ethical path to practice profitability and better patient experience, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

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. Together, they discuss how the right technology partner can help practices operate with greater confidence today while preparing for the future.

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. Dr. Brian also shares how ClinicMind is helping practices simplify operations, improve patient experiences, and prepare for the future of chiropractic growth through one connected platform.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about ClinicMind please visit: https://www.clinicmind.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

To get responses, create high-value communication. When you’re doing this, obviously, you’re not actually telling your customer “I’m here to create value in our communication.” You’re just doing it: Adding value in the conversation. You’re thinking about, “what can I say when I reach out to this person the next time to make this communication more interesting, more beneficial?” By doing that, you’re going to create that in their brains and they’re not even going to know why or how it’s happening. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland, and I will discuss how to get responses by creating high value communications. Welcome back, Jay. Jay: Hey, David, once again, great to be here with you as we talk again about a topic that I know in my business career, we probably haven’t had this conversation a lot. Communication is just something that happens. And it may depend on whether you’re old school or new school. Old school, we’re just making phone calls and picking up the phone. That’s high value communication. If it’s new school, we’re texting and emailing. And that’s the extent of the thought process. David: Yeah, and I think the adjective here, the high value part of it may be what we’re bringing to the discussion today. Because you’re right, communication in business is expected. It comes with the job. Mm-hmm. And we’re always going to be communicating. But the fact of the matter is that particularly now, as people are more and more likely to skip over communication, if they don’t like what you’re saying or if they don’t feel like it’s worthwhile to them, it becomes more important for us to ask ourselves “am I creating value in this conversation?” Am I creating value in this email, this text, this phone call, this podcast, right? Because if we’re not communicating value in the discussion, then we’re doing our listeners a disservice. We’re doing whoever it is that we’re calling a disservice. Whoever we’re emailing, we’re doing them all a big disservice. So, If we consider the idea that we need to be engaged in high value communication as much as possible, it will very likely change what we’re saying at any given time. Jay: Yeah, such a great point. I think that most people now are engaging these new technologies that make the communication part automatic, right? Like drip campaigns, newsletters, automatic texting or whatever. So that part of the equation is fairly easy to implement. But then the real question, as you’re bringing up, is if I’m not providing value in that communication, I am training the customer or the potential customer to block me out. Because that’s the other thing that’s so easy. It’s so easy to automatically communicate. But on the other end, it is so easy for me when I hit delete in my messages. It says, do you want to block this sender? And that’s it. It’s done. It’s over. So that’s why you want to focus on that word value. David: Yeah, and particularly now when people are using AI to help generate communications. And my belief is that’s going to cause a lot of communications to start looking like other communications. Mm-hmm. And everybody’s going to be saying pretty much the same things. But if you are operating with the intent of creating value in the communication that’s going to be a component that you might be adding that other people aren’t going to be adding into their algorithm, whether it’s with AI or whether it’s what they’re doing themselves. And you also raised a great point, which is the idea of if you’re not doing this, you are training people essentially to ignore you. And wow, that’s not what we want to train people to do. Jay: Right. my email service now, I use Mac right at the top now, they put the unsubscribe button, like that’s the first thing I see. So it is so easy, and I just think about it. There are newsletters that I keep, that I allow to keep coming, and there are those that I unsubscribe to immediately. And I kind of do this thing where I, okay, I’ll scan down quick. And I’m looking for value for me. Because I have a time to value, you know, ratio. So I’m looking, is this something, is there anything in here that this person’s sending me that I really care about? And if I get one or two and the answer is no, they’re done. That’s it. You’ll never get through to me again. David: Right. And when you think about it, particularly with something like email, but it also applies to texts or whatever, When you’re looking through your inbox, you’re going to see two things. You’re going to see who it’s from, and you’re going to see the subject line. Mm-hmm. What is it that they’re trying to communicate? So sometimes people will look at your name and they’ll say, “oh, it’s from Jay. I’m going to open this.” They don’t even care what the subject line is. Yeah. But if you don’t have that sort of relationship, they’re going to say, “okay, it’s from Jay. What does he want?” Right? And then they might go to the subject line and say, “does this subject line interest me enough to open this?” And if the answer is yes, then it will get opened. But that combination is going to be huge. And if you’re not thinking in terms of adding value in your communication, then you’re very likely not going to have any value mentioned in your subject line, and you’re going to dramatically reduce the likelihood that it’s going to get opened. Jay: Yeah, I agree. So we’re kind of talking about the drip campaigns or the ongoing attempts to kind of get in and remind them about us. That’s one part of communication. But I also think it’s important to assess the value of the regular ongoing communication that is happening. Like when somebody calls in, are they getting a phone tree? When somebody on your staff or you talk to somebody, is somebody going to hang up the phone and say, and we’ve all had this happen. I hang up the phone and I go, well, that was a big fat waste of time, right? And so clearly I didn’t have a high value conversation with the person who I was talking to. David: Yeah, exactly, and I think we’ve all been in that situation where we’ve either been on the receiving end of it or we’ve been on the ascending side of it, where we just feel like, “oh wow, I clearly didn’t create enough value in this communication.” If they’re ignoring us, if they’re ghosting us, there’s always a reason for it. Now that reason is not always us. maybe it’s not your communication. Maybe you’re doing everything right and this person just has different things going on, or they’re afraid to say no, whatever that is. We’re never going to completely get around that. But if you recognize the fact that most people are going to be looking for “what’s in it for me? What’s the benefit to me in pursuing this conversation?” Then we can change what we’re doing. And the really great point that you raised there is, yeah, we’re not just talking about drip campaigns, we are talking about every single bit of communication that you put out. And that’s sort of what we led off with, is that you need to create high value communication in everything. Telephone calls, voice messages when you’re leaving a voicemail message. A lot of people don’t get calls back when they leave a voicemail message. And some of the reason for that is very likely the fact that there may not be enough value created in the message that is being left. If the message is, “Hey, give me a call back,” and I don’t know why I should, because I don’t know how that will benefit me, then the likelihood of me calling back is dramatically reduced. But if I recognize that I need to dangle some sort of carrot there. Why should they want to contact me back? Why should they want to return the call? And if I can add some value in there, give me a call back so I can, dot dot dot. What is it? What can you do that would be beneficial to them? Because if you say that in the communication, they’ll be a lot more likely to reply. Jay: Yeah. I think today it’s so funny how we respond to things. When I get an email that I don’t feel like had value or that I didn’t ask for. I feel invaded. I feel like somebody has come into my house and forced their will upon me. And when I get a text, it’s even worse. We judge these communications so aggressively and one of the other things that jumps into my mind that is so important about high value communication, one of the things I hate is when I call and whoever I’m calling goes right into the sales pitch, like right away. We don’t want to misinterpret value as the minute I get on the phone with them, I’m going to tell you what my value is to them. My preference is that they spend some time getting to know me so that they can properly explain to me how their product or service fits into my situation. If they’re just going to start cramming stuff down my throat, the minute we start talking, I’m going to be gone pretty quick. David: Yeah, and that’s an excellent distinction. Because there’s the value that we will create if and when we do business together, right? If I’m trying to sell you something, there should be value created if we’re doing business together, right? Otherwise, there’s no purpose in that happening. But I’m talking about the value that has to happen to even have that conversation. When you dive right into “here’s who I am and here’s what I sell,” they don’t understand the value at that point, right? Because the value has to come, to some extent, from the relationship that we are establishing in that call. And so to the extent that we’re going to lead off with value in that call or in that communication, we need to do it in a way where they get the value upfront and it can’t be related to the fact that they’re already buying something from us. Jay: Yeah, such a great point. This is one of the things I do every day as I do sales consultations. And oftentimes I will have people that have already spoken to two or three of my competitors and they will vent to me about how they talk to those people. They were just trying to sell me. I never felt like they had any real interest in me. And then they talk to me and the first five minutes of the conversation, I’m getting to know them and their product and what they’re looking for so that I can actually provide a consultation, because that’s what I bill it as, right? I if I say it’s a sales consultation, or a free consultation is what we call it, and what they’re getting is a sales pitch, that is just bait and switch and they’ll sense it immediately. David: Yeah, absolutely. And once again, I think just considering this, just thinking about it, keeping in the back of your mind or tacking it up on the wall next to your desk, next to your phone to remind yourself that ultimately it’s about creating high value communication, if we want to get a response, if we want to engage with people, create relationships, and ultimately sell something, Jay: Yeah, and at every level of communication, right? Not just the beginning, not just the middle, but the entire process from beginning to end. Think about that mindset, if a customer knows that every time they interact with you, it’s going to somehow be fulfilling on some level. Whether it’s the product or how the communication is perceived or how you just pick up the phone. Then, like we talked about in the last podcast, when we see a caller ID and somebody’s calling us, we’re not going to be like, “ugh, I can’t believe I have to pick up the phone on this one.” We’re going to be like, “oh, it’s going to be great to talk to that person.” David: And nine times out of 10, they won’t even realize why. Right? Because most people don’t talk about this. They don’t think about this. They don’t even consider the idea of creating value in the communication. So if you’re doing this, obviously, you’re not telling your customer “well, I’m here to create value in our communication,” right? You’re just doing it. Adding value in the conversation. Thinking “what can I say when I reach out to this person the next time to make this communication more interesting, more beneficial?” By doing that, you’re going to create that in their brains and they’re not even going to know why it’s happening. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. Such a great point. How do people find out more, David? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call, schedule a call with myself or my team. If you are looking to create value in your communication, that is really one of the core principles of what we do in our Total Market Domination course. A lot of it is about creating entry-level communication, the kind of communication that’s going to introduce you to someone initially so that they can start to feel comfortable with you and comfort level communication, because they’re not going to buy until they get to the point where they’re feeling comfortable. So there are different levels of high value communication that we walk you through that are specifically designed to get you the result that you’re probably looking for.

$11,250 a month can disappear from a small practice without a single insurance cut, ad change, or “slow season.” The leak is simpler and more painful: inbound phone calls that go unanswered when the front desk is slammed, it is after hours, or the team is juggling check-ins, insurance calls, and ringing lines.We walk through the exact math behind missed calls, using a conservative baseline of 150 missed calls per month, a 25% new patient conversion, and a $300 average new patient visit value. Then we dig into the real-world behavior that makes this problem worse: most callers who hit voicemail never leave a message, and many immediately book with the next practice that picks up. That turns “we will call you back” into a quiet pipeline for your competitors.Next, we demonstrate a voice AI answering service built for medical practices that can pick up 24/7, hold a natural conversation, send a text with your online booking link, answer common questions like insurance and parking, and transfer calls to your team during business hours with context attached. We also address HIPAA concerns, why the phone layer can be a safer place to start than AI that touches patient charts, and what setup typically looks like when implemented correctly.If you want more booked appointments, less front-desk chaos, and a better first impression for patients, start by fixing the phone. Subscribe, share this with a practice owner who needs it, and leave a review so more clinicians can stop losing patients to voicemail.

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?

“We're not going to get as cheap oil as might have been in the past.” – Peter GrandichCould Kevin Warsh shock markets on his first major Fed decision? Peter Grandich warns that “forever inflation,” persistent energy pressures, and fading rate-cut hopes could fuel gold's next bull run and reshape the investment landscape.

They're Sorry… So Why Don't They Change? Have you ever had someone apologize after drinking, using, lying, disappearing, embarrassing you, or breaking trust — and they seemed completely sincere? They cried. They promised. They said, “I'll never do that again.” And then… it happened again. In this video, we're talking about why someone can be genuinely sorry and truly mean it in the moment, but still not be ready to change. With addiction, the person may not always be lying to you. Sometimes they're believing the lie addiction is telling them: “This time will be different.” Remorse is real. But remorse is not the same as readiness. If you've been stuck in the cycle of apology, hope, disappointment, and repeated behavior, this video will help you understand what's really going on.

Dry brushing has been getting a lot of attention but most of what you're hearing stops at skin deep. The real story is what it's doing deep underneath. Your lymphatic system is your body's built-in detox network, and it's also directly connected to your stress response and nervous system regulation. When it's sluggish, you feel it... in your energy, your skin, your mood, and your ability to handle everyday stress they way you used to. Dry brushing is one of the simplest ways to get it moving again. (Simple + doable, yes please!) In part 3 of the Summer Self-Care Series, we're covering what dry brushing actually does for your body, the truth about cellulite, and 3 toxic skincare ingredients you need to remove from your routine immediately.   With over 3,000 chemicals available to cosmetic formulators, what goes on your skin matters as much as what goes in your body.

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. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why many teams stay busy all day while producing surprisingly little movement  The hidden reason accountability systems fail even when leaders think they're “clear”  A sharper framework for identifying whether the issue is the person, the seat, or the work itself  What happens when A players are surrounded by unclear expectations and weak ownership  The surprising connection between focus, productivity, profitability, and team alignment Episode Highlights 01:35 - A powerful vision emerges around identifying the single team constraint quietly limiting growth and scalability  02:43 - Counterintuitive insight reveals why most practice owners have a focus problem instead of an effort problem  04:21 - Accountability gets reframed as the force that transforms motion into measurable movement  05:44 - A deeper look at A players exposes why great team members actually demand accountability  07:07 - Positioning takes center stage as leaders confront the costly mistake of placing people outside their zone of genius  08:37 - Practical strategy separates roles, responsibilities, and outcomes into a framework teams can actually execute 10:56 - A sharp hiring distinction reveals why CEOs should stop selling candidates into the job  14:45 - A compelling leadership challenge emerges around creating measurable ownership instead of vague expectations  16:49 - Early hiring mistakes expose how fast-moving CEOs unintentionally sabotage team quality  21:00 - Vision for a world-class team comes alive through the metaphor of a band where every player owns their role  22:35 - The real financial cost of weak accountability surfaces through productivity, profitability, and team optimization metrics 27:58 - Stephanie Dove Blake from Success Partner Social Sparrow joins Dr. Pete to share her personal journey from witnessing the impact of chronic pain to helping chiropractors reach more patients through digital marketing. They discuss lead generation, patient conversion, AI, and the systems Social Sparrow uses to help practices attract, book, and serve more people.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Social Sparrow please visit: https://socialsparrow.com   Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

While many organizations focus on events, planning, or internal projects, the strongest fundraisers are staying close to their top donors.The truth is simple: the work you do this summer determines how your year ends. If you want bigger gifts, more unrestricted revenue, and stronger donor partnerships, now is the time to invest in relationships.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy summer is one of the most important seasons for major gifts fundraisingHow donor relationships built in June, July, and August impact year-end resultsThe mistake many nonprofits make after a busy spring fundraising seasonWhy consistent communication creates trust and leads to larger giftsHow to stay connected with donors without feeling transactionalWhat true donor partnerships look like beyond writing a checkWhy unrestricted revenue grows when trust growsHow strong stewardship helps donors feel connected to your missionThe difference between taking donors for granted and intentionally investing in relationshipsHow to create a more peaceful, successful end-of-year fundraising seasonAt the end of the day, major gifts are not built in November and December.

We are entering an era of permanent inflation.
