    🎙️ When You're On Purpose, You're Not Alone – Dr. Richelle Knowles

    On today's episode of the Mile High Podcast, you're revisiting the Mile High 10 stage with a powerful presentation from Dr. Richelle Knowles. Her message centers on one of the most important foundations of Chiropractic. Purpose. Dr. Richelle reminds the audience of a phrase often shared by Dr. Chris Kent: "When you're on purpose, you're not alone." Many chiropractors experience moments in practice when the pressure feels heavy. Running a practice, managing a team, caring for patients, and navigating the business side of healthcare can feel overwhelming. At times, it can feel isolating. Yet Chiropractic has always been about something much bigger than the individual doctor. It is about service. It is about purpose. In this talk, Dr. Richelle shares stories from her own practice that remind us why chiropractors continue showing up every day. She describes caring for a young woman with multiple sclerosis whose body responded immediately to care, and she shares the transformation of families who were already doing everything right for their health, yet still needed Chiropractic to help their nerve systems function at their highest level. Those moments reveal the truth of the profession. Chiropractic changes lives. The daily stress, the challenges of business, and the countless responsibilities of practice can easily distract from that truth. Yet the purpose of Chiropractic always brings the focus back to what matters most: the people in your care and the lives being impacted by your work. Dr. Richelle also speaks about the importance of building purpose-driven practices. A clear purpose enables chiropractors and their teams to stay aligned, serve their communities more effectively, and remain grounded in the profession's mission. Purpose connects the doctor, the team, and the patients who walk through the door. Purpose reminds chiropractors that they are part of something larger than themselves. As we recognize Women's History Month, a time to celebrate the leadership and influence of women who continue to shape the future of Chiropractic. Dr. Richelle's work as a doctor, educator, and mentor reflects the impact women bring to the profession every day. 🎧 Listen to the episode and share it with a colleague who would appreciate this reminder of why Chiropractic matters. 📍 Mile High 2026       August 20–23, 2026       Denver, Colorado Register now at  👉 RiseUpToMileHigh.com In celebration of Women's History Month, you can use the special promo codes: Chiropractors: BRINGADC Students: BRINGASTUDENT P.S.

    🎙️ The House Always Wins – Dr. Richelle Knowles

    On this episode of the Mile High Podcast, you will hear a replay of a powerful presentation delivered by Dr. Richelle Knowles at Mile High Thirteen. During this talk, Dr. Richelle addressed a topic that many chiropractors feel yet rarely discuss openly: the importance of building a strong, financially sustainable practice to protect and advance the profession of Chiropractic. Chiropractic exists in a unique position within healthcare. The profession operates in what can only be described as a David and Goliath environment, where large pharmaceutical companies and major insurance systems dominate the healthcare landscape. Chiropractors succeed through clarity, service, and the strength of their community. That reality makes business leadership an essential responsibility for every chiropractor. In this episode, Dr. Richelle explains that running a successful practice cannot rely on chance, optimism, or hoping that patients will eventually find you. Long-term success requires systems, clear leadership, trained teams, and a commitment to knowing the numbers that guide the health of a practice. You will hear Dr. Richelle share insights, including: • Why many chiropractors unintentionally run their practices like a casino instead of a system • How strong financial foundations allow chiropractors to support their families, their communities, and the profession itself • Why predictable systems are more powerful than random marketing efforts • How leadership, team development, and clear communication create a stable practice environment • Why consistent actions over time produce the real "jackpot" in practice success This message is ultimately about responsibility. When chiropractors build thriving practices, they gain the ability to support schools, contribute to research, mentor the next generation, and bring Chiropractic care to more families around the world. In recognition of Women's History Month, this episode also celebrates the leadership and contributions of women in Chiropractic. From the earliest days of the profession to the present moment, women have played a vital role in shaping the philosophy, education, and future direction of Chiropractic. Dr. Richelle continues that legacy through her work with Network Family Wellness Center, Lifetime Wellness Practice, and her teaching around the world. 🎧 Listen to the episode and share it with a colleague who would benefit from hearing this message. 📍 Mile High 2026 August 20–23, 2026 Denver, Colorado Register here: 👉 RiseUpToMileHigh.com Women's History Month special codes: Chiropractors: BRINGADC Students: BRINGASTUDENT Be on higher ground.   P.S.

    🎙️ Attention Is the New Currency – Robert DeLude

    On this episode of the Mile High Podcast, you'll hear from Robert DeLude, founder of PodcastDude.com and the voice behind The Content Outlaw. Robert is not a chiropractor. And that may be exactly why this conversation is so important. After a car accident and years of shoulder pain that led to prescribed painkillers and eventually addiction, Robert found Chiropractic through a NetworkSpinal experience that changed everything. Within seconds, something shifted, pain disappeared, and perspective changed. He now openly shares that if he had discovered chiropractic sooner, his life might have taken a completely different path. That perspective fuels his mission. Robert works with chiropractors to stop marketing like a commodity and start building authority, attention, and trust. 🎧 In this episode, you'll hear: • Attention is the new currency • How $29 specials quietly damage long-term value • Why crack videos attract the wrong expectations • How to build premium, long-term patients instead of price shoppers • Why authenticity beats polished, over-edited marketing ​ This is not about being louder. It is about being clearer about who you are, what you stand for, and the value of Chiropractic. If your marketing does not align with your philosophy, you will attract patients who are misaligned with your values. If your message is watered down, your authority is diluted. This conversation is bold, honest, and necessary. 🎧 Listen now. Share it with a doctor who needs to hear it. And remember … There may be many summits. There is only one Mile High. 📍 August 20th–23rd, 2026 👉 Register now at www.RiseUpToMileHigh.com Be on higher ground.   P.S.
