Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons is building a nearly $7M chiropractic clinic from a single location — while shutting the office down to patients every single Tuesday.

You Don't Have to Choose Between Great Care and Great Money
Dr. Caleb Braddock has spent 20+ years building a $3M practice in a small town while helping scale 80+ clinics across the country. Discover why most chiropractors stay stuck in a “poverty mentality,” the communication gap that kills growth, and the mindset shift required to charge what you’re actually worth.🔎 Free Chiropractic Marketing Audit: Your Growth Roadmap to 7 Figures: https://www.chiroxmarketing.com/auditMost chiropractors believe they have to choose — either deliver great care or make great money. But that belief alone is what keeps so many practices stuck.Caleb has seen this pattern play out across dozens of clinics. Practitioners who deliver real value, get great results, but still struggle to grow — not because of skill, but because of how they think about money, pricing, and communication.In this episode, Caleb breaks down the hidden “poverty mentality” that limits growth in the chiropractic industry and why so many practitioners undercharge despite delivering high-value care.

Built $40M Practice, Takes 8 Weeks Off: The Anti-Hero System
How Dr. Jason Green scaled from a $2.5M clinic to a $40M healthcare organization - and why “Hero Doctor Syndrome” is keeping most clinic owners stuck.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: Chiroxbusiness2026 AI-Readiness Assessment | https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Jason Green is a chiropractor and healthcare entrepreneur who built and scaled multiple clinics, growing from a single location doing roughly $2.5M annually into a multi-center healthcare organization generating over $40M in revenue.But the growth didn’t come from marketing hacks or overnight success. It came from breaking one of the biggest traps in healthcare entrepreneurship: the “Hero Doctor” mindset, in which the entire business depends on the owner.In this episode, Jason explains how trying to step back from the clinic initially caused revenue to drop, patients to escalate cases back to him, and the entire operation to collapse back into owner dependency. That moment became the turning point that forced him to build real systems, a leadership structure, and operational processes that allowed the business to scale beyond a single location.We also dive deep into how clinic owners can transition from being the center of every decision to building scalable organizations with leadership teams, scorecards, and standardized systems.If you’re a clinic owner stuck working inside the business every day, this conversation will challenge how you think about scaling, leadership, and operational design.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:35 Meet Dr Jason Green02:00 Hero Doctor Trap03:54 Numbers Smackback05:22 Identity Shift07:17 From Tribal To Systems09:42 Org Chart And SOPs11:13 Scorecards And Cadence15:05 Process Versus People16:47 Constraints And Objectives19:26 Find Your Key Lever22:40 Second Location Trap28:01 Maximize Current Capacity30:22 Stop Undercharging Care30:57 Expand Hours With Teams32:08 Trust Ego And Capacity33:29 Engine Or Distraction34:36 Four Filters Framework39:41 Three Monday Metrics44:58 Failure Journal Lesson50:14 Goals From Discomfort52:36 Month-Long Vacation Systems58:31 Where To Find JasonCONNECT WITH DR.

For years, he was a solo practitioner doing 130-140 patients a week, making decent money, but completely stuck.

How Dr. Lisa Parissi built a thriving high-ticket chiropractic practice in Newport Beach (one of the most saturated markets in the country) charging high-ticket care plans to patients who are actually invested in their health.

You're Doing the Wrong Job: Why 70% of Chiropractors Are in the Wrong Role
Most chiropractors are working in the wrong role in their business. Dr. Eric DiMartino breaks down why 70% of docs are wired to be caregivers, not CEOs, and how understanding your cognitive design is the first step to scaling without burnout.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Eric DiMartino owns multiple chiropractic clinics in Michigan and coaches at The Remarkable Practice. He's also a self-proclaimed weirdo who loves the business side more than patient care. That difference in wiring is exactly what helped him scale.In this episode, Eric introduces the Rubik's Cube Framework for building a seven-figure practice. He walks through the six sides every practice owner needs to solve: vision, marketing, sales, operations, finance, and team. We dig into why most chiropractors hate running their business (and shouldn't feel bad about it), the 80% rule for delegation that gives you permission to let go, and the exact buyback rate calculation that tells you when you're ready to hire.Eric also breaks down his four-stage training system (crawl, walk, run, fly), why you should never be the best person at anything in your business, and how to build a team of A-players who actually care as much as you do. If you've been white-knuckling control of every detail in your practice and wondering why you can't break through to the next level, this conversation will show you exactly how to fire yourself from operations and step into the CEO role.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction to Delegation and Business Growth00:36 Interview with Dr. Eric DiMartino02:00 Understanding Roles in Chiropractic Business13:58 The Rubik's Cube Framework for Business Success21:04 Building Effective Systems and Teams31:23 Evaluating Core Values in Hiring32:24 The Importance of Training and Onboarding33:14 Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement35:53 Defining Effective Training vs. Meetings36:56 The Role of the CEO as Chief Energy Officer38:50 The Power of Vision Casting and Clear Expectations42:12 Celebration, Recognition, and Guardrails47:48 Building a Strong Brand and Community Presence50:42 Maximizing Time and Delegation for Growth57:55 Conclusion and Contact InformationCONNECT WITH DR.

You're the Bottleneck: How to Scale Your Practice Without Being the Engine
Most chiropractors are the engine, battery, and exhaust of their practice—and that's exactly why they're stuck. Discover how Dr. Stephen Franson built a 1,000-visit-per-week practice while winter surfing in New Hampshire, and the exact systems he used to stop being the bottleneck.📈 The Million-Dollar Marketing Scorecard: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Stephen Franson is known in the chiropractic profession as "the systems guy." He's built multiple successful practices, trained over 40 associate doctors, and now helps chiropractors worldwide build what he calls "The Remarkable Practice"—a business that runs without you being the bottleneck.In this episode, Stephen breaks down the four seasons of a chiropractic career (launch, build, scale, exit) and why most doctors get stuck in the "build" phase because they never make the identity shift from practitioner to CEO. He walks through his accountability grid framework that gets your entire team to own their numbers, why high data environments create low drama (and vice versa), and the specific metrics every team member needs to track to think like a seven-figure practice owner.We also dive into why chiropractors are allergic to data (even though it's the key to freedom), how to operationalize, professionalize, and optimize your practice, and why investing in your business beats diversification every time. If you're carrying the entire business in your head and your team is busy but you're not seeing real progress, this conversation will give you the roadmap to break through that ceiling.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Host Welcome00:22 Guest Introduction: Dr. Steven Franson01:06 The Bottleneck in Chiropractic Practices01:56 Building a Remarkable Life and Practice07:39 The Four Seasons of a Chiropractic Career08:36 The Identity Shift: From Practitioner to CEO12:27 Self-Awareness and Team Building19:39 Operationalizing, Professionalizing, and Optimizing24:55 The Accountability Grid and Data-Driven Decisions28:56 Increasing Data Visibility30:08 Relationship Scorecards32:23 Meeting Rhythms and Coffee Breaks34:08 Scorecards in Business37:27 Key Metrics for Business Growth42:08 Digital Marketing Strategies49:40 The Remarkable Practice ImmersionCONNECT WITH DR.

Why High Profit Margins Are Actually Destroying Your Practice
Why high profit margins might be killing your retention and exit value—and how Dr. Austin Cohen scaled to 13 locations by prioritizing leadership over cash flow. Discover the unconventional financial strategy Austin used to build enterprise value while keeping his best people around.📈 The Million-Dollar Marketing Scorecard: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Austin Cohen runs Corrective Chiropractic—13 locations across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.But here's what makes his story different: his satellite clinics operate at 15-20% profit margins, not the 40-60% most multi-location owners chase.Why? Because Austin learned that fat margins create weak teams, high turnover, and low enterprise value.In this episode, we break down his entire playbook for building a scalable chiropractic business without becoming the bottleneck. Austin walks through his exact framework for creating clarity in leadership roles, why associates can actually build more wealth than owners if positioned correctly, and the "contract to expand" philosophy he's using in 2026 to cut energy drains and scale strategically.We also dive into why his failed franchise attempt taught him more than any success, how AI is transforming his operations, and why relationships—not marketing tactics—remain the most underutilized growth lever in chiropractic.If you're wrestling with retention, associate compensation, or wondering how to scale without losing your best people, this conversation will shift how you think about profit, leadership, and long-term value.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Personal Mantra00:21 Welcome to ChiroX: Business Growth for Chiropractors00:24 Introducing Dr. Austin Cohen00:35 The Comfort Crisis: Doing Less to Grow More01:28 Austin's Business Journey and Philosophy02:12 Financial Strategies for Chiropractors04:03 The Importance of Team and Leadership10:41 Creating Clarity and Confidence in Your Team15:49 Leveraging AI for Business Efficiency17:45 Core Values and Company Culture20:26 Reflecting on Core Values21:02 Team Dynamics: Family vs. Team21:26 The Importance of Defined Roles and Core Values23:53 The Power of a Strong 'Why'25:47 Leadership and Resilience29:40 Franchising Challenges and Lessons33:13 Scaling and Strategic Contraction35:06 The Value of Relationships in Chiropractic37:17 Connect with Dr. Austin CohenCONNECT WITH DR.

Learn, Play, Implement AI: The 4-Pillar Framework for Chiropractors
Dr. Jay Greenstein has run multiple DC-area clinics for 30+ years and founded Embody Health (gamification tech company). His mantra? "Learn, play, implement AI—the rate of change is so fast, if you don't get involved now, you'll be left behind." Here's his 4-pillar AI framework and why retention matters more than leads.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Jay Greenstein owns Kaizo Health (4 locations DC area), founded a nonprofit clinical research institute, runs a sports performance company, and built Embody Health (tech company using gamification to solve retention). He's a massive data nerd who discovered the real retention problem: patients ghost you because they feel better (but aren't functionally better), then say "chiropractic doesn't work."In this episode, Jay breaks down why retention matters more than more leads (clinical outcomes, industry reputation, business case), adherence vs retention (adherence = shared decision making, retention = loyalty—the holy grail), and the science of adherence (3 B's: Behavior, Barriers, Benefits). He explains the origin story of Embody (solving retention with gamification), how the app works (rewards, messaging, dashboards, AI "Sherpa"), and practical AI tools for clinics (learn, play, implement).We dive into Jay's 4-pillar AI framework: (1) Talent & Hiring, (2) Operational Infrastructure (automate, eliminate, delegate), (3) Marketing & Patient Education, (4) Clinical Journey (adherence to loyalty). He shares how to show up in ChatGPT (AI search disruption), his biggest growth challenge (human capital, culture, leadership), and scaling misconceptions (insurance mindset, pulling the "people lever").Jay tackles leadership skill-building (self-awareness, assessments, 360 feedback), insurance vs cash vs hybrid (portal of entry, industry frustrations—"liars and thieves"), and his future strategy (insurance as entry, niche cash services like shockwave/decompression). Final takeaway: just start implementing AI (it solves HR, ops, marketing, clinical—everything).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 AI Is Moving Fast00:10 Meet Dr. Jay + Episode Overview04:19 Why Retention Matters More Than Leads06:06 Adherence vs Retention: The Holy Grail07:05 The Science of Adherence: 3 B's08:58 Origin Story of Embody: Gamification14:46 How the App Works18:09 Practical AI Tools: Learn, Play, Implement21:30 Jay's 4-Pillar AI Framework: Talent & Hiring22:32 AI to Build Better Teams23:02 Operational Infrastructure with AI23:41 AI-Powered Marketing & Patient Education24:40 AI for Clinical Journey25:23 How to Show Up in ChatGPT27:07 Biggest Growth Challenge30:23 Scaling Misconceptions33:23 Leadership Skill-Building36:40 Insurance vs Cash vs Hybrid40:26 Future Strategy + "Just Start Implementing AI"43:08 Where to Find Dr. JayCONNECT WITH DR.

80+ Patients/Month, Zero Ads: The Prenatal/Peds Niche Blueprint
Dr. Lauren Daniels built Flourish Family Chiropractic to 7-figures by niching hard into prenatal/pediatric care. Result? 80+ new patients/month with zero ad spend, premium pricing, and generational wellness referrals. Here's why niching lets you charge more, stress less, and stop being the "discount doc."📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Lauren Daniels owns Flourish Family Chiropractic, a 7-figure prenatal/pediatric practice built entirely on referrals (80+ new patients/month, zero ads). She knew in undergrad she'd specialize after a personal prenatal chiropractic experience changed her life. Started taking certification courses in trimester 6 of chiro school, built community relationships as a new grad working for someone else, then went solo with clear niche positioning.In this episode, Lauren breaks down choosing your lane (the personal "aha" behind the niche), why specializing prevents the constant grind (easier patient acquisition, no discount wars), and the referral engine breakdown (relationship building, community presence, authenticity). She explains generational wellness care (retention through family referrals, long-term value), niche marketing without turning people away (serving whole families while specializing), and scaling from house calls to CEO (hiring, leadership, right team).We dive into her all-female team by design (hiring green/red flags, culture fit), systems that let you vacation (training, ops, staying on mission), the power of constant retraining (being "Chief Reminding Officer"), and niche boundaries (how to say no and refer out with integrity). Lauren shares why niche = premium pricing (stop competing on cheap/convenient, become the choice), expanding on-brand (adding wellness spa to clinic), and scratching your own itch (build what you wish existed).Final wisdom: takes 3-4 years to feel established (COVID was her boom in 2020), purpose-driven niches that last (can't just chase money), and first step is finding a mentor in your chosen niche (shadow them, clarify your why).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Premium Patients: Why Niching Lets You Charge More00:46 Episode Setup: Dr. Lauren's 7-Figure Family Care01:29 First Steps to Becoming the Prenatal/Peds Expert04:23 Choosing Your Lane: The Personal Aha08:17 80+ New Patients/Month with No Ads11:26 Generational Wellness Care14:03 Niche Marketing vs Turning People Away16:04 From House Calls to CEO19:56 All-Female Team by Design23:41 Systems That Let You Take Vacations24:53 SOPs, Playbooks, Constant Retraining27:02 Becoming the Chief Reminding Officer28:19 Niche Boundaries: How to Say No29:59 Refer Out with Integrity32:32 Niche = Premium Pricing37:42 Expanding On-Brand: Adding Wellness Spa40:29 Build What You Wish Existed41:27 How Long It Really Takes43:53 First Step to Picking a Niche46:31 Wrap-Up + Where to Find Dr. LaurenCONNECT WITH DR.

500 Visits/Week in 4 Days: Experience Over Technique (7-Figure Blueprint)
Dr. Chase Dyess sees 400-500 patients/week in 4 days at Trinity Chiropractic (voted best chiropractic 6 years running). His secret? Experience over technique. Using the Super 8 vs Four Seasons analogy, he breaks down why patient experience builds value more than being the best adjuster. Here's his efficiency blueprint.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Chase Dyess owns Trinity Chiropractic of Burleson, TX, a 7-figure practice voted best chiropractic for 6 years straight. He sees 400-500 patients weekly in just 4 days through relentless focus on experience and efficiency. His philosophy: chiropractors overestimate technique and underestimate experience. Like hotels—Super 8 and Four Seasons both have beds, but Four Seasons charges more for the experience.In this episode, Chase breaks down day one conversion tactics (rapport, mirroring, using their exact words—80% higher tips study proves it), designing a 5-star clinic experience (smell, cleanliness, demographic fit), and simple bullet-point procedures over scripts. He explains buying back your time (associates, efficient communication, scheduling blocks), reducing chatter without losing care (kiosk check-ins, face-down prep), and scaling from personality-driven to systems-driven practice.We dive into his pricing philosophy (care by results, not visits), when symptoms don't tell the whole story (educating with x-rays), hiring associates who stick (aligning goals/roles/expectations), and personality tests for retention (DISC, Chiro Matchmakers). Chase shares his admin systems that scale (3 key staff roles, scheduling, re-exams), marketing playbook (referrals, reviews, social, workshops), and handling haters online (Reddit for AI visibility, local PR, emotional strength).Final wisdom: develop amazing systems that feel congruent (don't be a puppet), get over your fear, and share testimonials to grow your business.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Bold Marketing Mindset01:13 High-Earning Myth: Technique vs Experience04:21 Day One Conversion: Use Their Words07:52 Designing a 5-Star Clinic Experience11:47 Simple Procedures: Bullet Points Over Scripts14:39 Buy Back Your Time16:28 Reducing Chatter Without Losing Care19:07 Scaling: Personality to Systems-Driven23:17 Pricing Philosophy Begins24:30 Pricing Care by Results27:45 When Symptoms Don't Tell the Whole Story29:20 Hiring Associates Who Stick33:58 Personality Tests and Retention35:16 Admin Systems That Scale38:51 Marketing Playbook for Chiropractors43:10 Handling Haters Online + Reddit/AI Visibility47:47 Final Takeaways + Where to Find TrinityCONNECT WITH DR.

7-Figure Practice, Zero Burnout: The ITTV Delegation Framework
Dr. Peter Camiolo hit breaking point: successful practice, struggling marriage, losing family time. His solution? Becoming CEO instead of staying practitioner. Here's his ITTV delegation framework (Identify, Train, Trust, Verify), 3-list exercise you can do tonight, and culture of testimony system that turns patient stories into growth.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Peter Camiolo co-founded The Remarkable Practice and helps chiropractors scale to 7-figures without burnout. His breaking point came when grinding harder threatened his marriage and family. The wake-up call: fourth pregnancy, practice dipped, valley of decision moment. In 2015 he found new mentors outside chiropractic, pivoted to becoming CEO, and discovered freedom without sacrificing business integrity.In this episode, Peter breaks down what it actually took (stepping away, building team, inner work), the ITTV delegation framework (Identify who to delegate to, Train vs abdication, Trust vs entitlement, Verify with accountability), and why training your team is non-negotiable. He explains building a culture of testimony (setting expectations for transformation), words and identity in healing (rewriting patient stories), and why testimonials will still win in 2045 (even with AI).We dive into Day Zero to Day One systems (eliciting stories from the start), how to capture testimonials (organic, milestone, campaign methods), and repurpose + post-production (turning stories into multi-platform growth). Peter shares the 3-list delegation exercise: (1) everything you do, (2) things only you can do, (3) things you love doing—then delegate everything else.Final wisdom: being a practitioner is a calling (don't lose the awe), define your own success (don't align with coach's definition), and freedom comes through delegation + accountability.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 From Practitioner to CEO00:32 Welcome: Burnout, Delegation, 7-Figure Growth01:50 Setting the Stage: Focusing on Scale03:16 The Calling of a Practitioner05:50 The Breaking Point: Family and Health Cost07:40 Forced Step-Back: Fourth Pregnancy09:32 2015 Pivot: New Mentors, Becoming CEO12:01 What It Actually Took20:28 Introducing ITTV Framework24:39 The First T: Training vs Abdication26:37 The Second T: Trust vs Entitlement28:17 The Verify Step: Accountability29:41 Why Training Your Team Is Non-Negotiable30:15 Building a Culture of Testimony32:28 Words, Identity, and Healing36:39 Why Testimonials Will Win in 204539:16 Day Zero to Day One Systems44:04 How to Capture Testimonials45:46 Repurpose and Post-Production47:01 Getting Unstuck: 3-List ExerciseCONNECT WITH DR.

Mayor of Five Miles: 75 New Patients/Month, 84% Referrals (Event Playbook)
Dr. Cliff Fisher became the "mayor of five miles"—the go-to connector in his community. Result? 75 new patients/month with 84% from referrals. He ran his multi-million dollar practice from 2,500 miles away (6 days/month) through culture, events, and team-first leadership. Here's his playbook.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Cliff Fisher ran Chiropractic Clinics of the Carolinas (4 locations in North Carolina) from 2,500 miles away, commuting only 6 days/month. His structure: fly in Sunday night, see patients Monday, admin Tuesday, patients Wednesday, red-eye home Thursday. The key? Great general manager, strong partner, and mature culture built on principles first, team second, then patients.In this episode, Cliff breaks down the mission that made it compelling (always about community and people, not business), event-driven marketing (75 new patients/month, 84% referrals), and his patient appreciation event growth (40 people year one to 1,200 at peak). He explains the principles-first lesson that changed his office standards, the top 5 practice events that worked (rib cookoff, drives, more), and networking tactics (door-to-door, never eat alone, community leverage).We dive into his pivot to niche care (upper cervical Blair-based practice from chronic headaches), building a dream team with the two-page team card framework, personality tests + love languages at work (appreciating people correctly), and positive reinforcement + core values creating the culture flywheel. Cliff shares his 20-step hiring process (non-negotiables, multi-step vetting), avoiding shiny object syndrome (the "who" that keeps you focused), and the compound effect in practice (relationships, mentors, giving first).Final wisdom: all opportunities come from relationships, be the mayor of five miles, and your culture is who you hire (not what you say it is).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Mayor of Five Miles: The Go-To Connector01:11 Running Multi-Million Practice From 2,500 Miles Away03:45 Culture That Sticks: Mission, Values, Team-First05:31 Event-Driven Marketing: 75 New Patients, 84% Referrals07:39 Principles First: The Hard Lesson09:35 The Mission to Restore Health10:44 Top 5 Practice Events That Worked19:13 Networking and Grassroots Growth23:07 Pivoting to Niche Care: Upper Cervical23:54 Chronic Headaches to Chiropractic24:27 Finding Upper Cervical Relief26:06 Your Practice Differentiator28:05 Building a Dream Team: Two-Page Card Framework30:00 Personality Tests and Love Languages at Work32:41 Positive Reinforcement + Core Values Flywheel36:18 Hiring Right: 20-Step Vetting Process41:27 Avoiding Shiny Object Syndrome44:40 The Compound Effect: Relationships and Mentors47:03 Where to Find Him + Culture and HiringCONNECT WITH DR.

You're Worth More: Why Raising Prices Is Lever #1
Dr. Justin Rabinowitz doubled his prices in January 2020, got scared, then grew 34% during COVID shutdowns. His wake-up call: insurance reimbursement dropped from $300 to $24.50 overnight. Here's his blueprint for escaping insurance, charging what you're worth, and why raising prices is lever #1 (not adding services).📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Justin Rabinowitz owns Strive2Move Chiropractic and Rehab Chiro Coaching. He started cash-based in 2015, made early mistakes (charging less, unclear sales/marketing), and got burned twice by insurance (2016: reimbursement dropped from $300 to $24.50; 2018: third-party takeover threatened his business). A patient who was lobbying against his interests while paying him cash became his wake-up call: go truly cash.In this episode, Justin breaks down the big pivot (30-min to 1-hour visits, nearly doubled prices), what happened next (same patients, more profit, 34% growth during COVID), and how price psychology + LTV drove growth. He tackles "my town is different" (the model works anywhere, even Singapore), why you should raise prices before adding services (simplest, hardest lever), and the helping people vs making money paradox (put your mask on first).We dive into why the middle loses (premium vs low-cost positioning), ethical exit from insurance (the two reasons patients say no), desire timing (when the problem isn't painful enough yet), and clarifying your USP + niche (stop selling services, start selling outcomes). Justin shares his $45K lesson (leaving practice, losing money, finding the real problem), "marketing units" framework (measuring activity inputs to predict leads), and why everything works if you work (belief, volume, iteration mindset).His workshop playbook: fastest path to revenue with the math, execution nuance (converting without being sleazy), and the #1 skill to scale (resourcefulness, identity shifts, becoming the CEO instead of staying the clinician).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Charge What You're Worth00:42 Welcome + Blueprint to Escape Insurance01:45 Justin's Origin Story02:42 Getting Burned by Insurance05:02 Going Truly Cash05:31 The Big Pivot: Doubled Prices06:21 COVID Shock, 34% Growth, Coaching Birth09:13 How Price Psychology Drove Growth11:24 "My Town Is Different"14:18 Stop Adding Services—Raise Prices First17:55 Helping People vs Making Money24:00 Why the Middle Loses29:49 Ethical Exit from Insurance31:30 Why People Say "You're Too Expensive"31:57 Desire Timing34:02 Clarifying Your USP + Niche36:22 Avatar-Driven Marketing37:25 The $45K Lesson40:17 "Marketing Units" Framework43:18 Everything Works If You Work45:56 Workshops That Print Patients51:00 Workshop Execution Nuance54:21 The #1 Skill to Scale: Resourcefulness01:00:40 Where to Find JustinCONNECT WITH DR.

His philosophy: money fuels the mission (no mission without profit), and simplicity beats complexity every time.In this episode, Jesse breaks down why most chiropractors can't scale (clinician identity, not business mindset), his data mantra (low data = high drama, high data = low drama), and the only metrics that matter (net profit and net momentum, not top-line revenue). He explains scaling to 9 locations while maintaining margins (watching payroll, market expansion strategy), hiring for core values over resumes (the shopping cart test reveals character), and building a culture "constitution" with non-negotiables.We dive into core-value interviewing tactics, personal vs company values (protecting time and standards), how to build core values + simple mission statement, and recognizing/repeating/enforcing the standard. Jesse shares the two skills that actually scale (sales + leadership), the 90-day test for founder dependence (can the practice run without you?), and how to pass it (SOPs, patient flow, scripting everything). His $200K medical integration detour taught him to simplify (walked away to focus on chiropractic-only lighthouse model), echoing the Raising Cane's principle: "Find a simple idea and take it seriously."Final wisdom: build your tribe (mentors, core values alignment), don't do it alone (pick up the phone, ask for help), and create A-plus chiropractors (not B or C players).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Money Fuels the Mission01:01 Clinician vs CEO: Why Skill Doesn't Scale03:23 Low Data, High Drama06:22 The Only Metric That Matters07:48 Scaling to 9 Locations: Margins and Payroll09:54 Hiring and Retention: Core Values Over Resumes14:18 Culture That Scales: Your Constitution18:16 Core-Value Interviewing: Shopping Cart Test19:26 Personal vs Company Values22:54 How to Build Core Values25:43 Core Values in Action28:24 The Two Skills That Scale: Sales + Leadership29:53 Revenue Isn't Freedom: The 90-Day Test35:39 How to Pass the Test: SOPs and Scripting39:14 The $200K Medical Integration Detour42:47 Simplify to Scale: Raising Cane's Principle44:58 Build Your Tribe: Mentors and Asking for Help49:07 Where to Connect + Final ChargeCONNECT WITH DR.

Medical Integration: The Path to Early Retirement (95/5 Blueprint)
Dr. Joe Denke added medical integration to his chiropractic practice and calls it his "ticket to early retirement." Here's the 95/5 ownership structure, how the MD gets paid ($500-$3,500/month), and why attorney-first is the right order. Plus his blueprint for adding $1M without doing more adjustments.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Joe Denke owns Select Spine & Sports Medicine in Friendswood, TX, a medically integrated practice built on a 95/5 ownership structure. He owns 95% on paper (100% in reality), the MD owns 5% but forgoes profit share and equity for a guaranteed monthly salary as medical director. Texas law allows chiropractors to own up to 95% of a medical company—other states vary.In this episode, Joe breaks down exactly what a medically integrated chiro practice is (adding medical services like IV therapy, weight loss, TRT without patients having to see the MD first), the Texas legal setup (95/5 ownership, contracts, staying compliant), and how the MD gets paid (medical director role, $500-$3,500/month for oversight). He explains why attorney-first is critical (before finding your MD), avoiding early pitfalls (choosing a director who can grow with you), and the revenue shift from traditional chiro to a sellable asset.We dive into his competitive edge (one-stop shop, premium pricing, wider reach), marketing the integrated model (community outreach + email list), Meta vs Google Ads for different patient intent, and lead magnets that convert (free consults, testosterone checks). Joe shares his personal TRT results as a marketing engine, staffing reality (front desk is hardest to keep), hiring for character (interviews, coaching, culture fit), and the future of medically integrated practices (diversification, consolidation, engulfing smaller practices).Final wisdom: misconceptions ($5K attorney fee is worth it, MD gets 0% equity despite 5% ownership), first steps (attorney → medical director → NP/PA), and the owner life reality check (no vacation 2012-2018, working the day his kids came home from hospital).TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Medical Integration as Early Retirement Path01:09 What Is a Medically Integrated Chiro Practice?01:41 Texas Legal Setup: 95/5 Ownership04:58 How the MD Gets Paid08:23 Getting Started: Attorney First09:36 Avoiding Early Pitfalls12:07 Revenue and Lifestyle Shift16:19 Competitive Edge: One-Stop Shop20:14 Marketing the Integrated Model21:43 Community Outreach and Promotions22:33 Meta vs Google Ads23:31 Lead Magnets That Convert24:05 Personal TRT Results as Marketing26:28 TRT Curiosity and Treatable Ranges28:01 Staffing Reality: Front Desk Hardest to Keep30:43 Hiring for Character32:05 Future of Medically Integrated Practices35:53 Owner Life Reality Check37:44 Misconceptions, First Steps, How to Reach JoeCONNECT WITH DR.

Introvert to 10 Clinics: Neurotic Focus as a Competitive Edge
Dr. Tony DeRamus built Sandstone Chiropractic to 10 locations (currently 6) as a self-described introvert. His secret? Neurotic focus. He locks himself in his office all weekend, goes deeper than most can, and leverages introversion as an edge. Here's his playbook for quiet leadership, AI strategy, and why 5-year exits beat 10-year plans.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Tony DeRamus is the founder and CEO of Sandstone Chiropractic with 6 locations around Houston, Texas (previously 10). He's an admitted introvert who turned neurotic focus into a competitive advantage. His early practice story: underfunded, 12 bank rejections, stacks of denied insurance claims, and growth that outpaced his ability to manage it. But he didn't quit.In this episode, Tony breaks down why business is a brutal "no off-season sport," the skill gaps versus branding strengths that got him through, and why mentors and humility matter before you leap. He explains his "pro sports team, not a family" culture (A-players only), why mission attracts talent (the Elon principle), and the hard lessons from opening location #2 (mistakes, going belly-up, defining the mission). We dive into financing growth from 2 to 10 clinics, navigating "the swamp" of management complexity, and his introvert CEO playbook (deep work, fewer meetings, better leverage).Tony also shares Disney's "wow factor" presentation standard, why consistency beats everything, the chiropractic consolidation wave (private equity, roll-ups), and healthcare's next models (direct-to-employer, subscription care). His AI toolkit: custom GPTs, image ads, voice automation, ranking in AI search (Bing, Reddit, citations), and Google Business Profile tactics (reviews with keywords, photos, replies, GBP posts). Final wisdom: know what "enough" is (the "are you sure?" moment), aim for 5-year exits not 10, and define your Vail/Aspen/Monte Carlo number before you kill yourself chasing more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Neurotic Focus: Turning Introversion Into an Edge00:21 Meet Dr. Tony: Quiet Leadership00:59 From Chiropractor to CEO01:39 Early Practice Hell: Underfunded and Denied Claims04:19 Why Business Is a No Off-Season Sport06:21 Skill Gaps, Branding Strengths, Don't Quit08:58 Mentors, Humility, Learning the Ropes10:08 Not a Family—A Pro Sports Team Culture13:27 Mission Attracts Talent19:48 Scaling to Multiple Locations22:52 Hard Lessons Opening Location #226:20 From 2 to 10 Clinics: The Swamp30:38 Introvert CEO Playbook34:24 The Disney Wow Factor36:14 Consistency and Sticking Power38:53 Chiropractic Consolidation41:02 Healthcare's Next Models44:37 AI, Marketing, and Leverage48:26 AI Tools for Clinics53:39 Ranking in AI Search57:06 Google Business Profile Pitfalls01:00:32 Reviews That Rank01:04:22 Closing Advice: Know What You Want01:06:54 Exit Timelines and Defining Enough01:10:15 Where to Find TonyCONNECT WITH DR.

More New Patients = More Revenue? The Math Proves It's a Lie
Dr. Savannah Ford runs the math: 50 new patients at 12 visits = $36K. But 25 new patients at 40 visits = $60K. Half the patients, double the revenue. Here's her retention playbook, community-driven event strategy, and why patient visit average (PVA) beats new patient acquisition every time.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Savannah (Savy) Ford owns Blossom Family Chiropractic in St. Petersburg, FL, specializing in perinatal and pediatric care. She built a high-retention practice by shifting from treating patients like transactions to building actual community. Her retention playbook maps every touchpoint (Google to Day 2 education), uses gifting to build belonging (welcome kits, postpartum care packages), and celebrates milestones with certificates, prizes, and local vendor pop-ups during Patient Appreciation Week.In this episode, Savy breaks down her Women, Wine & Wellness event strategy (VIP experience + targeted ads) that generated $27K in 2.5 hours, why she fired a high performer who poisoned the culture, and how she hires for core values using specific interview questions. We dive into her A-player recruiting system (video/cover letter → Zoom → in-person shift), how she uses AI for hiring and operations, and the Pickle Club origin story that taught her early entrepreneurship.Savy also explains why niching down to perinatal/pediatric care helped her grow faster (becoming the go-to expert, better referrals, lower CAC, higher LTV), teaching kids high agency through lemonade stand lessons, and her final advice: audit every patient touchpoint and ask "Where are we treating patients like transactions instead of community members?"TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Stop Treating Patients Like Transactions00:50 New Patients Aren't the Goal: The Math03:56 Retention Playbook: Mapping Every Touchpoint04:49 Gifting That Builds Belonging06:31 Milestones and Patient Appreciation Week08:06 Community as a Core Value08:43 Women, Wine & Wellness Event Strategy10:17 Event ROI Breakdown: $27K in 2.5 Hours13:50 Making Events Sustainable18:56 Beyond New Patients: Partnerships and Experience21:50 When a High Performer Poisons the Culture23:59 Culture Over Convenience24:55 Hiring for Core Values27:27 A-Player Recruiting System29:41 AI in Hiring and Operations33:31 The Pickle Club Origin Story35:49 Teaching Kids High Agency38:56 Why Niching Wins43:16 Retention Through Community: Audit the Experience45:08 Final Takeaways + Where to Find SavvyCONNECT WITH DR.

From Solo Doc to 4 Locations: The Systems That Actually Scale
Dr. Michael Henry built TexStar Chiropractic to 4 locations by focusing on systems, not guru status. Here's why doubling your overhead won't double your profit, when you're actually ready for location #2, and the mindset shifts from practitioner to CEO that make multi-clinic growth work.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Michael Henry is the founder and CEO of TexStar Chiropractic with 4 locations around Austin, Texas. He started with a vision of one superstar clinic with every modality, then realized multi-location was the better path. After 15+ years and involvement with the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners, he's learned what works (and what kills practices) when scaling.In this episode, Michael breaks down why rushing to location #2 before you're ready is a profitability killer (doubling overhead doesn't double profit), the owner mindset shifts required (flexibility, coaching, letting go of trenches-level thinking), and when you're actually ready to scale past two clinics (systems, leadership, aligned docs). He explains why he chose multi-location over mobile chiropractic (credibility, scalability, equipment reality) and the metrics that actually matter (upstream vs downstream, leads, visits, collections).We dive into the three types of associates (caregiver, owner, entrepreneur) and which mix works best, why culture fit matters more than experience, and his biggest scaling pain point (expanding from 2 to 4 too fast without fully trained docs). Michael shares the "wow factor" patient experience strategy, service lessons from hospitality (delight, no-surprises billing, trust), and how his Texas Board involvement keeps him regulation-compliant. His final advice: build reproducible systems (not a guru practice), but don't leave patient care completely or you'll lose why you started.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Don't Rush a Second Location00:47 From One Superstar Clinic to Multi-Location02:04 Owner Mindset Shifts06:08 Scaling Past Two Clinics07:24 When to Open Location #208:44 Why Multi-Location Anyway?10:35 Why Not Mobile Chiropractic?13:23 His Path from Pre-Med to Chiropractic16:44 Metrics That Matter21:39 Green Lights for Location #522:44 Types of Associates25:16 Hiring Associates: Experience vs New Grads26:19 Culture Fit Matters27:36 Scaling Pain Point: Expanding Too Fast29:16 The Missing Piece: Confidence and Support30:55 Simplify to Scale32:17 The Wow Factor: Patient Experience37:12 Service Lessons from Hospitality39:42 Regulation and the Texas Board44:32 From Practitioner to CEO47:36 Closing Advice: Don't Leave Patient CareCONNECT WITH DR.

LTV Doubled by Fixing This One Thing (The Retention Blueprint)
Dr. Tabor Smith doubled his lifetime patient value by shifting focus from new patient conversion to retention. Using the dental profession's playbook, he built an automated system that turns believers into understanders and keeps patients for 10+ years. Here's the exact blueprint.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Tabor Smith owns A Better Way Chiropractic (4 locations in Houston, TX) and founded the Spinal Hygiene Movement to solve chiropractic's retention problem. He realized that dentists built lifetime patients by preventing tooth decay, not just treating toothaches. So he applied the same model to chiropractic: prevent spinal decay, not just treat back pain.In this episode, Tabor breaks down why retention is the foundation (not conversion), the dental hygiene parallel from the early 1900s when industrialization and sugar caused a tooth decay epidemic, and why we're seeing the same pattern now with technology causing spinal degeneration at younger ages. He walks through his 21-day challenge plus yearlong email/text drip system that automates education, the wake-up call testimonial that proved the cost of poor maintenance, and why pain gets them in but education keeps them.We dive into the ethics and research for weekly/biweekly care frequency, why he almost killed his practice by expanding too fast, and the retention-first new patient flow (Day 1/Day 2 + education-led content). Tabor also shares how to attract wellness patients without talking about pain, the 4 core Spinal Hygiene exercises, and his Certified Spinal Hygienist team training program. His first steps to improve retention: email education sequences and mandatory new patient orientation workshops with philosophy teaching and home care kits.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 LTV Breakthrough: Retention Turns Patients Into 10-Year Regulars00:47 Why Retention Is the Real Foundation01:29 The Dental Playbook: Prevention-Based Lifetime Care03:39 Spinal Hygiene Movement: Preventing Spinal Decay04:58 Do Patients Buy Prevention?07:08 Coaching the Hustling 7-Figure Doc10:15 Inside the System: 21-Day Challenge + Email Drip12:45 The Wake-Up Call: Cost of Poor Maintenance15:32 Pain Gets Them In, Education Keeps Them17:00 Ethics and Frequency: The Research Case18:54 Growing Too Fast: Expansion Pitfalls20:16 Scaling Risks: Loans and Stability21:32 Retention-First New Patient Flow23:09 Attracting Wellness Patients24:28 Keep It Simple: The 4 Core Exercises27:22 Training the Team: Certified Spinal Hygienist Program31:03 First Steps to Improve Retention34:00 Workshop Playbook: Making Attendance Mandatory37:17 Where to Find MoreCONNECT WITH DR.

Trapped Underwater to 7 Figures: The One Question That Changed Everything
Dr. Justin Moseley was trapped underwater during whitewater rafting, broke free, and asked himself one question: "Why am I still here?" That moment transformed him from comfortable chiropractor to purpose-driven entrepreneur with 750K TED Talk views and a 7-figure practice. Here's how mindset shifted everything.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Justin Moseley co-founded Music City Health Center with his wife in 2012 and built a successful family practice. But in 2018, a near-death whitewater rafting accident changed everything. Trapped underwater between rocks, he lost consciousness, heard "wake up," broke free with adrenaline-fueled strength, and surfaced with one question: "Why am I still here?"That question led him to exchange comfort for calling. He started creating content, built a Facebook group that hit 1,000 members in the first month, launched a podcast, and eventually delivered two TED Talks (one approaching 1M views). In this episode, Justin breaks down the mindset shift from near-death to 7 figures, why change can happen in an instant (not over time), and how to build a vision bigger than yourself that scales beyond the owner.We dive into visualization science (training your brain for success), protecting your inputs (people, media, stories you consume), and why communication is a superpower worth building reps in. Justin explains why personal branding matters for chiropractors (trust before they walk in), why stock-photo marketing kills your brand, and the "silent audience" effect (your content works even without likes). His tactical advice: document don't create, talk to your phone to build reps, and speak to one person (not everyone).Final wisdom for stuck practitioners: hire coaches to go faster, embrace "Who Not How," and ask yourself the same question he did.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Am I Still Here?00:26 Meet Dr. Justin Moseley01:02 The Whitewater Rafting Near-Death Story03:03 From Comfort to Calling05:06 Mindset Shift: Change in an Instant08:03 Build a Vision Bigger Than You10:50 Getting Tactical: What Do You Want?13:00 Visualization Science15:57 Protecting Your Inputs20:36 Communication as a Superpower24:28 Why Personal Branding Matters27:02 Why Stock-Photo Marketing Kills Your Brand28:13 Use Your Personal Profile29:56 Your Content Works Without Likes31:58 Keep Showing Up: The 50-Listeners Story33:48 Document, Don't Create36:30 Your Uniqueness Is the Differentiator38:47 It's a Long Game: Value First44:01 Getting Started: Talk to Your Phone48:19 Unstuck Mindset: Who Not How52:02 Where to Connect + TED TalkCONNECT WITH DR.

Mexican Prison to Million-Dollar Practice: The Mindset That Rebuilt Everything
Dr. Chris Zaino survived terminal illness, Mexican prison, and losing over $1M in one year. Then rebuilt one of the world's largest chiropractic practices using one talk, 100% cash-based model, and an unbreakable mindset. Here's the blueprint he used to turn trauma into purpose.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Chris Zaino built Abundant Life Chiropractic into a mega-practice using a single talk that converted patients from symptom-based care to lifetime nervous system care. Despite winning Mr. America and appearing on magazine covers, he battled terminal ulcerative colitis and learned that health isn't how you look or feel, it's how you function. That lesson became the core of his 45-minute talk that he delivered thousands of times.In this episode, Chris breaks down the exact structure of "the talk" (consult turned stage presentation), how he reframed health from symptoms to function using the nervous system hook, and why storytelling sells in a commodity world. He explains his 100% cash-based model ($4,200 care plans 15 years ago), how he pre-framed price objections, and the shift to lifetime care through membership models that made chiropractic a "utility" like electricity.Then we dive into his darkest chapter: Mexican prison for 21 days, losing $1M+ in a Ponzi scheme, and $350K in practice losses all in one year. Chris shares the value-as-currency lesson he learned in prison, how he rebuilt after total loss, and why he's grateful for the trauma that stripped him to nothing. His final challenge: answer three questions (Who are you? Why are you? Where are you?) to find your story and rebuild from truth, not perception.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 From Rock Bottom to Rebuild00:20 Welcome + Dr. Chris Zaino's Wild Origin Story01:09 The One Talk That Built a Mega Clinic02:16 Reframing Health: Symptoms to Function04:28 Using Personal Story to Create Belief06:10 Why Storytelling Sells09:24 Authenticity Over Perfection13:36 In-Person vs Digital Patient Acquisition16:10 Going 100% Cash-Based19:52 The Shift to Lifetime Care23:10 Chiropractic as a Utility25:31 Why Patients Quit26:24 Building Culture with Workshops27:12 Health as a True Priority28:31 Congruency as Leadership30:19 Hire Former Patients34:11 Mexican Prison Lesson: Value as Currency42:20 Rebuilding After Loss45:02 Action Steps: Who, Why, Where48:49 Where to Find Him + Final ReflectionsCONNECT WITH DR.

3 Growth Levers That Built a 7-Figure Wellness Practice
Dr. Ryan Browning had a record year in 2020 despite COVID tanking his practice by 50% in the first few months. His secret? A wellness-based philosophy and smart niches that complemented chiropractic. Here's his blueprint for adding revenue streams without adding chaos.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Ryan Browning runs Browning Family Chiropractic & Wellness in Kyle, Texas, a seven-figure practice built on wellness philosophy and strategic service additions. When COVID hit, pain-based practices suffered while his wellness approach attracted patients who wanted to strengthen their bodies proactively. Despite losing 50% volume initially, he had a record year in 2020.In this episode, Ryan breaks down the dental profession analogy (tooth pullers vs preventive care), why wellness practices survived COVID while pain-based practices struggled, and how to attract patients who actually value health. He walks through his "smart niches" framework (two tests before adding anything), easy add-ons like spinal decompression and x-ray-driven education, and why gut health and nutrition matter more than "quick buck" traps.We dive into the Service Pyramid concept (lead with chiropractic, upsell ethically), permission-based communication for add-ons, and selling quality of life instead of pain relief. Ryan also shares the 3 growth levers (insurance, personal injury, referrals), why you should never let insurance coverage dictate care, and how to land PI cases by making quality obvious to attorneys. His team-building philosophy: give ownership, don't micromanage, and always be recruiting with a 1-in-2 hiring rule.Ryan's final advice: fix your weakest link, delegate everything you can, and use coaching as jet fuel to speed up growth.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Smart Niches for Chiropractors: What to Add Next00:17 Welcome + Dr. Ryan Browning's 7-Figure Blueprint01:00 Wellness vs Pain-Based Care: The Dental Analogy03:13 COVID Case Study: Why Wellness Survived05:23 Attracting Patients Who Value Health07:17 Smart Niches Framework: Two Tests10:02 Easy Add-On Niches: Decompression + X-Ray Education11:18 Beyond Adjustments: Gut Health and Avoiding Traps13:42 The Service Pyramid: Upsell Ethically16:05 Communicating Add-Ons: Permission-Based Offers21:18 Selling the Outcome: Quality of Life22:38 Insurance and the 3 Growth Levers27:24 Insurance Ethics: Don't Sell from Your Pocketbook29:40 Landing Personal Injury Cases30:51 Referrals Without the Awkward Lunch32:22 Marketing Reality Check: DIY vs Hiring Experts34:33 Boots-on-the-Ground Growth: Community Trust36:17 Synergy Partners: Build a Referral Ecosystem38:21 Team Building That Sticks41:16 Hiring Playbook: Always Recruiting43:31 Make Growth Simpler with Systems45:48 Care Cadence That Works48:13 In-House vs Outsourced Marketing52:01 What to Do This Week: Fix the Weakest LinkCONNECT WITH DR.

The $1M Practice Blueprint: Reverse-Engineer the Math First
Dr. Travis Stewart breaks down the exact math: 40 new patients a month at $3,000 average case value with 70% conversion gets you to $1M. Here's his Facebook ads blueprint, why controllable traffic beats organic, and the entrepreneur mindset that actually sustains seven figures.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Travis Stewart is co-owner of MŪV Chiropractic Health Center in Boulder, Colorado, and founder of Making MŪVS, a digital marketing agency teaching chiropractors how to master Facebook ads. He built a seven-figure practice during COVID by reverse-engineering the math first, then executing on controllable traffic instead of hoping organic would work.In this episode, Travis walks through his exact $1M formula: $83,333/month revenue requiring 28 conversions at $3,000 LTV, which needs 40 day ones at 70% close rate, requiring $5,320 in ad spend at $190 CAC for a 15x LTV-to-CAC ratio. He explains why Facebook ads beat organic (30,000 eyeballs vs 323), the principle of "serve the market, not your message," and how value vs price creates customer surplus that drives sales.We dive into his COVID launch story and why the agency hamster wheel fails, how iOS 14.5 changed targeting forever (creative is king now), and the three big benefits of taking ads in-house (quality, margins, sustainability). Travis also breaks down where organic fits (social as a trust-building landing page), the essentials to get started (CRM, speed-to-lead, sales process), and why the entrepreneur mindset matters more than clinical skill when building to $1M and beyond.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Paid vs Organic: 30,000 Eyeballs or 323?00:21 Meet Dr. Travis Stewart + The Facebook Ads Blueprint01:04 Reverse-Engineering a $1M Practice: The Math03:59 Why Facebook Ads First: Controllable Traffic07:05 Serve the Market, Not Your Message09:36 Value vs Price in Sales16:17 His COVID Launch Story: Why Agencies Fail19:42 iOS 14.5 Changed Everything24:36 Taking Ads In-House: The 3 Big Benefits29:25 Where Organic Fits: Hybrid Strategy37:02 Getting Started Essentials42:09 The Real Key to Sustaining $1M: Entrepreneur Mindset47:59 Where to Find Travis + Man in the Arena ClosingCONNECT WITH DR.

AI Warning: Adapt Now or Get Crushed (The 4-Step Framework)
Dr. Chad Woolner warns that chiropractors who don't leverage AI correctly will get "completely dominated and left in the dust." But most are using it wrong. Here's his 4-step framework to actually grow your practice with AI, build high-ticket offers, and create content that converts.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Chad Woolner is the CEO and co-founder of Simplified Functional Medicine and Applied Functional Neurology. He runs Align Integrated Medical in Meridian, Idaho, and has been on the forefront of leveraging AI to build practice systems, create content, and develop high-ticket offers that scale.In this episode, Chad breaks down the two ways people use AI (abdication vs augmentation), why most chiropractors are approaching it wrong, and the "tsunami wave" analogy that explains where we are in the AI shift. He walks through his 4-step AI framework: Brand Identity (mission, vision, values), Aggregation (SWOT, market intel, research), Curation (becoming a solutions curator), and Creation (packaging, pricing, content platforms). We dive into how he uses AI to refine guarantees in minutes, why constraints kill creativity, and the tactical workflows he uses daily (uploading decks, feedback, studies and turning them into action).Chad also reveals the two biggest high-ticket mistakes chiropractors make (not knowing their numbers and selling modalities like commodities), how to solve the "we're not integrated" problem with partnerships, and why you should stop selling pain relief and start selling the destination. We cover his content engine strategy (long-form podcast episodes, AI repurposing, lead indoctrination), Google PPC benchmarks, and why intentional content beats generic AI floods every time.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 AI Warning: Adapt or Get Left Behind00:15 Welcome + What You'll Learn01:17 Two Ways to Use AI: Lazy vs Iron Man04:20 Avoiding Obvious AI Content05:00 Using AI as Your On-Demand Consultant05:33 The Tsunami Wave Analogy06:40 Tactical Workflows: Upload and Turn Into Action09:36 The 4-Step AI Framework Overview10:20 Step 1: Brand Identity12:32 Step 2: Aggregation13:40 Step 3: Curation15:52 Step 4: Creation16:40 Offer Upgrades in Minutes: Real Example18:11 Constraints Kill Creativity21:10 Pivot to High-Ticket Services21:36 High-Ticket Mistake #1: Not Knowing Your Numbers24:13 High-Ticket Mistake #2: Selling Modalities Like Commodities26:13 Solve Integration with Partnerships27:28 High-Ticket Mindset: Charge More by Solving More29:01 Build a Branded Program30:56 Packaging, Buy-In, and Placebo Effect33:26 Stop Selling Pain Relief37:21 Sell the Destination, Not the Adjustments39:04 Marketing That Scales: Direct Response + Branding43:24 Google PPC Benchmarks and Funnel KPIs45:50 Relevance Content Engine50:59 Intentional Content Wins54:31 Where to Learn MoreCONNECT WITH DR.

From Neurosurgeon Track to Multiple-Stream Chiro Practice
Dr. Paul Shrogin scored in the 97th percentile on the MCATs and was headed to neurosurgery. Then he shadowed neurosurgeons, saw the 90-hour weeks, and chose chiropractic instead. Now he runs a bulletproof practice with 3 income streams (injury, cash, insurance) and the KPIs to prove it's working.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Paul Shrogin runs South Austin Chiro, a practice he bought from his mentor Dr. Lawson using an SBA loan after working there for years. He came from a neuroscience background, aced the MCATs, and was on track for neurosurgery until he realized the lifestyle wasn't what he wanted. Three years into ownership, he's built a resilient practice with multiple income streams, lean operations, and data-driven decision-making.In this episode, Paul breaks down why he diversifies patient types (injury, cash, insurance) to bulletproof against market shifts, the KPIs that actually matter (visits, mix, referrals, marketing ROI), and how he uses data to reframe "slow" months when feelings lie. We dive into his practice transition story, why staying lean beats growing bloat, and the CEO time blocks he uses for high-impact projects. Paul also shares his hiring tactics (breadcrumb tests, better job titles), how he survived losing a key employee in week one, and why he's not banking on selling the practice for retirement.His final advice: nail your Google presence, build reviews systematically, and diversify your income streams so one dip doesn't sink the ship.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Multiple Income Streams Matter01:11 Neuroscience to Chiropractic: Why He Switched01:46 Leaving the Neurosurgery Track02:48 Ranch Roots and the Chiropractor Who Inspired Him04:17 Pushback, Stigma, and Proving the Decision05:33 The Middle Miles of Business07:24 Director of Ops Lessons10:38 Staying Lean vs Growing: Avoiding Bloat13:05 Know Every Part, Then Let Go15:42 Chiropractic KPIs That Matter18:46 When Feelings Lie: Using Data to Reframe22:02 Referral Engine: Patient Experience and Trust27:47 Practice Transition Story28:54 Finding the Right Practice Fit29:44 Business Mentorship: Self-Taught Finance31:29 Patient Mastery Coaching32:17 CEO Time: Blocking Big Projects34:03 Using AI in the Clinic35:46 Prioritizing Projects: Easy vs Hard, Low vs High Impact36:52 Hiring A-Players: Screening and Retention42:26 Tactical Hiring Hacks45:03 Losing a Key Employee Week One48:53 Buying the Practice with an SBA Loan51:18 Making the Practice Sellable (or Not)54:44 Final Takeaways: Google, Reviews, SEO, Multiple StreamsCONNECT WITH DR.

From 5 Patients a Week to 3 Locations (No Coaches, No Loans)
Dr. Dan Shaddock went from 5 patients a week and nearly quitting to building 3 locations with 6 doctors in Austin. No business coaches. No startup loans. Just community, relationships, and showing up face-to-face. Here's the blueprint for building a 7-figure practice the hard way.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Dan Shaddock is a Marine Corps veteran who started Absolute Life Wellness Center in Austin, Texas in 2010 knowing only 5 people in the city. He almost gave up and took a job as the chiropractor at Lackland Air Force Base, but something told him to stick it out. Now he runs 3 locations with 6 doctors in one of the most competitive markets in America.In this episode, Dan breaks down how he picked his first location by mapping competitors and signing a 10-year lease, the grind from 5 patients a week to 60-70 visits without any coaching or loans, and why he cut back from 5 offices to 3 to keep culture tight. He explains his "down the hall" referral strategy that opened location #2, why he beat competitors to Kyle (the fastest-growing market in Texas), and how he manages Google Ads and SEO in-house without getting scammed.Dan also gets real about the difference between engagement and just going through the motions, why he chose to stay in-network (even though cash is tempting), and the team culture tactics that keep employees around for years (including annual trips and traditions). His final advice: set a 2-year goal and get face-to-face with people. If you're not willing to be in the community, 7 figures isn't feasible.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Community Makes 7-Figure Clinics Possible00:23 Meet Dr. Dan Shaddock + Multi-Location Blueprint01:13 Off the Grid: Ranch Life and Work-Life Balance02:19 From Marine Corps to Chiropractic03:18 Why PT Wasn't for Him05:12 Starting in Austin From Scratch05:53 Near-Quitting Moment: The Air Force Job He Walked Away From07:05 Picking the Perfect Location10:39 Early Growth: From 5 Patients to 60-70 Visits12:03 No Coaches, No Loans: Building Lean12:46 First Associate Hire: Letting Go of Control14:19 The Grind, Burnout, and Shifting Roles15:09 Military, Athletes, and Identity25:01 Leadership Lessons for New Doctors26:10 Why He Cut Back from 5 Offices to 328:52 Keeping the Team Tight: Trips and Traditions31:10 Retention Beyond Patients: Keeping Great Employees31:33 Building Team Culture Through Shared Trips33:25 Relationships as the Growth Engine36:22 Opening Location #2: The "Down the Hall" Strategy38:54 Location #3 in Kyle: Beating Competitors42:42 Managing Google Ads and SEO In-House47:29 Insurance vs Cash: The Empathy-First Argument53:08 Best Business Advice: Be Engaged and Win on Trust58:28 One Action This Week: 2-Year Goal + Face-to-Face01:00:49 Where to Find ThemCONNECT WITH DR.

How to Scale to 9 Doctors Without Losing Your Mind
How Dr. Brad Cole took over a practice started in 1981 and grew it to 9 doctors and 19 team members under one roof. Discover the 80% rule for delegation, why planning time is the highest-leverage move for growth, and the daily huddle system that keeps doctors thriving for decades.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Brad Cole runs Cole Pain Therapy Group, a second-generation chiropractic practice with 5 treating doctors, 4 in various stages of onboarding, and 19 total team members all under one roof. He took over from his father in 2021 after a smooth relay-race transition and has been scaling the practice while maintaining the culture that's kept doctors and staff around for decades.In this episode, Brad breaks down the shift from working IN the business (treating patients) to working ON the business (building systems, leading people, planning growth). He explains why maximizing one location beats opening multiple clinics, the 80% delegation rule that forces you to drop your ego, and how he structures his time with CEO blocks for planning and focus work. We dive into his quarterly planning process using "Who Not How," the culture systems that retain doctors for 10-20+ years, and the daily huddle framework that keeps a 19-person team aligned.Brad also shares his hiring systems for both support staff (group "speed dating" events) and associate doctors (building internship pipelines with chiropractic schools), why in-house marketing failed him three times, and the brutal lesson about trying to hire a "marketing person" instead of building systems. If you're stuck in the day-to-day grind and want to build a practice that runs without you, this is your blueprint.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Planning Time: The Highest-Leverage Move00:15 Welcome + Dr. Brad Cole's 7-Figure Clinic Blueprint01:15 From Clinician to CEO: Working ON the Business03:29 Taking Over Dad's Practice: The Relay-Race Transition04:50 People First Leadership05:47 Maximize One Location07:32 Delegation Without Ego: The 80% Rule11:40 CEO Time Blocks14:14 Fear of Letting Go15:29 Quarterly Planning + "Who Not How"19:45 Growth Trajectory: Building Capacity to 9 Docs22:18 Culture That Keeps Doctors for Decades24:02 Team Huddles That Work25:23 Daily Huddles: Audibles, Values, and Prayer25:58 Second-Shift Huddle: Shoutouts + Feedback26:31 Short Accounts: Turning Issues into Requests27:39 End-of-Day Reset28:21 Unspoken Expectations = Resentments29:39 Weekly Leadership Meeting System31:43 Hiring Great Support Staff33:54 Group Hiring Event "Speed Dating"38:25 Hiring Associate Doctors: Internships and School Partnerships42:50 In-House vs Outsourced Marketing: Systems Beat a "Marketing Person"47:03 Final Advice: Stick to Principles and Get CoachingCONNECT WITH DR.

How to See 450 Patients Without Burning Out
Dr. Tim Young built a $1.2M practice working 18 hours a week with adjustments only. No therapies, no supplement sales, no complex marketing. Just mastery, presence, and zero BS. In this episode he breaks down why most chiropractors are either talking too much or doing too much, and what to do instead.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Tim Young has been collecting over $1M a year for 22 years. At his peak, he worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (6 hours a day, 18 hours a week) with two CAs, seeing 650 patients a week, running a 25% overhead, and maintaining a 91% paid-in-full rate on 32-visit care plans.His secret? Priorities, focus, and discipline. In this episode, Tim breaks down his non-negotiable priorities (self first, spouse second, kids third, practice fourth) and why being present in every moment is the key to both clinical mastery and work-life balance. He explains why high-volume "monsters" all share one trait (they stop talking and doing unnecessary things), the 90/10 rule that separates thriving practices from stalled ones, and why certainty beats marketing every single time.We dive into why most practices kill themselves with waiting rooms and walk-ins, how to collimate your energy like an x-ray to avoid burnout, and why AI and social media are useful but never replace the core product (the adjustment). Tim also shares his three simple moves to scale a seven-figure practice: remove everything unnecessary, reduce overhead, and get a coach.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Simple Truth: Stop Talking and Doing Too Much00:29 Can You Have a 7-Figure Clinic AND a Life?02:05 Priorities That Create Balance: Self, Spouse, Kids, Practice04:33 Be Present, Become a Master05:21 The Million-Dollar, 18-Hour Week07:34 Presence Off the Clock: The 2002 Story10:14 The Price of Priorities12:47 Honor as a Daily Practice15:31 Business Is Simple But You Must Deliver19:58 Dueling Pianos vs Carnegie Hall: Why Mastery Beats Marketing22:06 Why Top Docs See 90% of Patients25:01 High-Volume "Monsters" and Their Philosophy26:21 The 90/10 Rule27:24 Role-Play: What "Tell the Truth" Means28:49 What Chiropractic Is (and Isn't)31:21 Scaling Bottlenecks: Stop Talking, Stop Doing Too Much34:56 Walk-Ins, Referrals, and the Waiting Room Practice Killer35:23 Burnout Myth: Focus Your Energy38:57 Tech, AI, and Social Media (Useful But Not Core)42:26 Connection Over Scripts43:15 3 Simple Moves to Build a 7-Figure PracticeCONNECT WITH DR.

Stop Stopping: The Mindset Behind Multi-Clinic Success
What does it actually take to build a seven-figure chiropractic business? Dr. Paul Reed has built multiple clinics, coached hundreds of chiropractic business owners, and learned most of his best lessons the hard way. In this episode he breaks down the mindset, systems, and grit required to scale without losing yourself in the process.📈 Get Your 2026 AI-Readiness Score: https://chiroxbusiness.com/Dr. Paul Reed is a multi-clinic owner, business coach, and founder of ChiroFEST, one of the largest gatherings of chiropractic business owners in the country. But his story starts long before any of that, with repeating first grade, tearing his ACL as a five-star football recruit, and using every setback as fuel.In this episode, Paul breaks down the leadership mindset required before you even think about scaling, why most docs who "want to go multi-clinic" aren't actually ready, and the metrics that really run a practice (not the ones you think). We talk about when to hire your first associate, how to avoid the complacency trap, and what it means to find a "lion to chase" when comfort starts setting in.Paul also gets real about delegation, buying back your time, and why the fastest-scaling docs all share one trait: an open cup with zero ego. If your goal is building a practice that runs without you or eventually gets acquired, this conversation is packed with the mindset shifts to get you there.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Scaling Sounds Cool (But Takes Real Grit)00:46 Repeating First Grade: Turning a Setback Into an Advantage02:52 The "Prove Them Wrong" Drive and Moments of Impact04:52 Tearing the ACL and Rebuilding Identity06:13 Never Retire: Competition, Hyrox, and High-Performance Circles09:21 Mindset for Multi-Clinic Success: Vision, Discipline, Leadership12:06 Systems + Numbers: The Metrics That Actually Run a Practice13:42 Mentors, ROI, and Reverse-Engineering a Million-Dollar Clinic19:48 Delegation and Buying Back Your Time24:54 When to Hire Associates + The Complacency Trap28:34 Men's Mentorship and the "Strong Men Create Good Times" Cycle29:39 Your Circle Shapes You: Cutting Victim Mentality31:08 Patient Acquisition Today: SEO, Events and Community Presence33:37 Stop Stopping: Consistency, Momentum and Fear of Success34:50 Hiring Past $1M: Cash Reserves, Mindset and ROI on Associates38:36 Who Scales Fastest and Why: Open Cup, No Ego, Do the Work39:31 The Leader's Real Job: Zone of Genius and Inspiring Your Team42:32 Building a Practice That Gets Acquired44:51 The "Guru" Trap and Transferable Relationships47:03 Lowest Heart Rate Wins: Calm Communication in Conflict48:24 ChiroFEST Origin Story: Building a Movement for Chiropractors50:09 Why He Opened a Coffee Shop (and the Business Reality)51:33 Final Takeaways and Where to Find PaulCONNECT WITH DR.
