    EP86: Why I Close Every Clinic for Our Company Retreat

    Send us Fan Mail When was the last time your whole team was in one room and nobody was working... and did they actually want to be there? In this episode, Austin takes you inside how Corrective Chiropractic runs its regional days and its yearly company retreat, and why closing all 13 clinics for those days has been one of the best investments he’s ever made in the business. Austin covers the two jobs every team day has to do, which are building leaders and aligning the company, and why Corrective’s events are never mandatory, since attendance only tells you something when people choose to come. He also talks about the mistake he made early on when he scheduled so many Legacy Days that they stopped feeling special, how a one-page plan keeps everyone on the same page, and what this year’s retreat in Greenville, South Carolina looks like, from X-ray analysis and patient communication with the doctors to a full afternoon building the 2027 vision. If you’re a chiro who has never pulled your team out of the office, this episode will help you plan your first day, keep it optional, and learn from who makes the sacrifice to show up.

    EP85: Don’t Let December Win: How to Holiday-Proof Your Practice Schedule

    Send us Fan Mail Every year, chiros watch December slip away one missed visit at a time… patients travel, the kids are home, the calendar fills up with everything except their care, and somewhere in there they tell themselves they’ll get back on track in January. In this tactical episode, Dr. Austin Cohen shares exactly how Corrective Chiropractic protects December across thirteen offices, from pre-booking every active patient through the first week of January, to posting holiday hours early so patients never have to guess, to the weekly team scorecard that tracks missed visits called versus rebooked and kept versus scheduled. Austin also explains how the annual choice benefit turns December from a month of holding onto patients into a month of giving them something to get excited about. And before diving in, he shares why Growth Summit this February is about becoming, not just doing, because the tactics only work as well as the person running them. We’re down to the final tickets, so grab yours before they’re gone. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP84: 17 Years, 17 Lessons: What Building 13 Clinics Taught Me

    Send us Fan Mail Seventeen years ago this week, I opened the doors to my first chiropractic clinic in Buckhead with no patient base, no referral network, and no marketing budget... just a screening table and a willingness to go find people where they already were. Today that one clinic has grown into 13 locations and 16 doctors, and in this episode I’m sharing 17 lessons in 17 minutes, one for every year, each one learned the hard way before I learned it the right way. We get into why there’s no such thing as a bad event (even when your audience is falling asleep at a Borders bookstore), why I’ve never once asked a doctor for their board scores, and how 95% of what actually works in my business came from outside chiropractic. I also talk about why the problem is never the number but the order, why more locations don’t fix a problem but multiply it, and why your real job as a leader is building people who don’t need you. Whether you’re a student about to open your first clinic or a chiro who’s been grinding alone for way too long, there’s something in here for you. If one of these lessons lands, send this episode to a chiro who needs to hear it. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP83: Nobody Follows Your Script. They Follow You.

    Send us Fan Mail When I look at the chiros I’ve been working with this year, the biggest transformation I’ve seen has nothing to do with a new script or a new marketing play... it’s who they’ve become along the way. In this episode, I share why the old model of memorizing the same scripts as everyone else never worked for me, what I’ve been watching happen as chiros run real leadership meetings, write their own values and get clear on their vision, and why a framework you build will always outlast a script you borrow. Because you can have every script in the world, but if you don’t change who you are, whatever you’re trying to change isn’t going to work. In this episode: Why I stopped trying to copy someone else’s practiceThe difference between a script and a framework, and why your team can feel itWhy your team will rise to the level of the leader in front of themThe one question to add to your Define month goalsGrowth Summit is this February, and seats are limited.

    EP82: Your Year Doesn't Start in January: The Practice Year Flywheel

    Send us Fan Mail Every January it's the same story... the goals go up on the whiteboard, everybody's fired up, and by the middle of March most chiros are still trying to figure out what those goals actually meant, who owns them, and what's supposed to look different on a Tuesday afternoon. By then a quarter of the year is already gone. In this episode I walk you through the Practice Year Flywheel, the way I've learned to run a year after opening twenty practices and growing from one location to thirteen. It runs on five phases: Define in October, Install in November and December, Launch in January, Reset in July, and Finish from August through December. I break down the 5 Ps I use to define the year (Personal, People, Play, Prosperity and Professional), how to turn every goal into a system before January ever shows up, why July is a pit stop and not a breakdown, and how finishing this year while you build the next one keeps the wheel from ever stopping. October is Define month, so if you're listening when this drops, you're right on time. We've only got about a dozen tickets left for Growth Summit in February, the perfect place to pressure-test what you defined and installed right after you launch.

    EP80: 2.4 Million Followers and Me

    Send us Fan Mail A buddy at Runningman added up the followers between me and the two guys I was sitting with and announced 2.405 million to the whole group, and then pointed out that about 5,000 of those were mine. Everybody died laughing, and I laughed right along with them, but that joke followed me all the way home and turned into something I haven't been able to shake since. In this episode I get honest about the comparison trap, and about how easy it still is to look at another practice's numbers or another doc's highlight reel and decide you come up a little short. I also tell a story I've never shared on this show, about a list of 52 people I wrote down back in 2016 when I had one office and a lot more hunger than answers... none of those meetings happened that year, and it took the next ten years of showing up before I got to know the people on that list. We get into why most of what shaped my business came from outside chiropractic, why I choose rooms by what people are building rather than who's watching them, and how all that reaching eventually turns into belonging. If you've been keeping score with the wrong number, this one's for you. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP79: Five Retention Numbers Most Chiros Never Pull

    Send us Fan Mail I ran a growing practice for about ten years without knowing the single most important number in it. It was 18, that's where our patients were quietly walking away, and the information wasn't hidden from me... I just never went looking for it. In this episode I'm walking through the five retention numbers I'd pull if I were starting over, including net growth, care plan completion, your black hole number, PVA, and one nobody in our profession tracks that I'd argue predicts everything else. Every one of them I learned outside chiropractic, from Netflix, Duolingo, Joey Coleman, Amazon and the Ritz-Carlton, and you can pull all five in an afternoon. Our industry is obsessed with the front door while the back door stands wide open, and this one's about finally counting what's walking out of it. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com
