    Episode 387: Why fear of failure is keeping you trapped

    The unspoken truth is that fear—not tactics, time, or talent—is what's holding most practice owners back. In this episode, Tristan breaks down how to reframe fear, take courageous action, and build the mindset that fuels business growth. You'll learn how to move from hesitation to momentum using simple, proven frameworks that top-performing practice owners use every day. You'll discover: Why fear is false evidence appearing real—and how to break its control over your decisions The Thought → Action → Result → Belief → Identity loop that keeps you stuck (and how to flip it) A simple reframe to turn "I can't" into "I'm learning" The Four Cs Framework (Commitment → Courage → Capability → Confidence) that transforms fear into progress Fear fades when you move forward with purpose. Confidence isn't what you start with—it's what you earn by taking action. P.S.

    Episode 386: How to Transform Team Culture Into a Thriving Business Engine

    Most practices don't have a "people problem"—they have a standards problem. In this episode, Tristan and Sarah reveal how to design culture on purpose: define values, hire against them, manage to them daily, and protect them by acting fast when someone isn't a fit. The result? A culture that powers growth like an engine. You'll discover: How to define 8–12 values so they're more than wall art A hiring pipeline that tests values up-front  The thermometer vs. thermostat mindset: enforce standards so A-players don't slide Why toxic high performers cost you more than they bring in—and when to move fast Strong culture turns ordinary teams into extraordinary ones. When everyone rows in the same direction, growth becomes inevitable. P.S.

    Episode 385: How to Break Beliefs Holding Back Your Business

    We don't act on "truth", we act on beliefs. And most of those were formed in childhood, then reinforced for years because they're convenient. In this episode, Tristan and Dave unpack how limiting beliefs quietly shape your marketing, hiring, pricing, and leadership and a practical process to bust them so you can build the business (and identity) you actually want. In this episode you'll learn Belief vs. truth: why a belief is just a feeling of certainty (often without evidence) and how that keeps owners stuck. The convenient assumption trap: common unhelpful beliefs in practices (e.g., "good hires don't exist," "marketing is salesy," "I shouldn't raise fees"). The results loop: Thoughts → Actions → Results → Beliefs → Identity—how to interrupt it and rewire it on purpose. Pain/pleasure & secondary gain: why your brain prefers the familiar (even when it hurts growth) and how to stop avoiding the right actions. Try-it-on method (24–72 hrs): adopt a new belief temporarily to lower resistance, take small aligned actions, and stack proof. Identity upgrades: moving from "I am not a marketer/leader" to identities that match your next-level outcomes. Remember, your beliefs shape your business. Break the ones that hold you back, build the ones that move you forward, and you'll create the practice and life you've always wanted. P.S.
