This podcast I created as a clinician myself and also owning a consultancy for the last 10 years, helping medical practises throughout mainly the UK implement systems, smart systems, and automation into their businesses. We talk about AI, we talk about coding, we talk about CRM systems, booking systems, and more. This is the podcast for those in the wellness and medical profession who want to start to implement AI into their business.

He left school at 15 with no qualifications, joined the army at 16, served in the Gulf War, and worked his way from physical trainer to osteopath to lecturing at Oxford University. Today, he has over 17,000 students worldwide, his books have been translated into eight languages, and his business runs largely without him being in the treatment room.In this conversation, we get into the journey, the books, the pivot to online during COVID, and the tech stack — including Kajabi, Go High Level, and the AI bot we built together — that makes it all work.This one is full of grit, honesty, and genuinely useful insight for any clinician thinking about what's possible beyond the clinic.What we cover:Growing up in the valleys of South Wales and the unlikely road to Oxford UniversityHow a signed book contract changed everything — and why accountability is the real secret to getting things doneWhy John never would have gone online if COVID hadn't forced his handHow Kajabi became the backbone of a global education business with 17,000+ studentsThe AI bot we built for John — meet Alfie — and where that's headingWhy AI will never replace the hands-on human touch in manual therapy, but will change almost everything else around itThe honest truth about passive income — and what it actually takes to get thereBooks, motorbikes, Barbados, and coaching the San Jose SharksThe Decoder — three things to take away:Knowledge doesn't have to live in the treatment room. John built a global business on expertise he already had — the difference was packaging and systems.Books aren't just credentials. Every one of John's became a course, an income stream, and a reason for someone to trust him before they'd ever spoken to him.There's no single platform that does everything — but the right tools, used consistently, change everything.Connect with John Gibbons & the Body Master Method:Website & courses: www.johngibbonsbodymaster.co.ukOnline courses (Kajabi): bodymaster-method.mykajabi.comYouTube: youtube.com/user/Jgibbo246Facebook: facebook.com/bodymastermethodBooks: available via John's website and all major book retailers
