    EP72: Your Q4 Is Already Decided

    Send us Fan Mail Your numbers this month aren't a report card on this month. They're a report card on decisions you made about six months ago. Which means your fourth quarter is already mostly decided, and you can't fix it by working harder in October. In this episode I break down what I'm calling the six month lag. Why the small decisions that feel completely defensible in the moment are the ones that cost you, why nobody in your building will catch them including you, and the five places in a practice where the slide actually starts. Plus three questions you can run with your team in fifteen minutes to find out where you're leaking. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP71: The 600 lb log that's crushing your practice

    Send us Fan Mail You can have the strongest money mindset in the building and still watch your growth stall. Why? Because your practice doesn't rise to the level of your beliefs. It falls to the level of your team's. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from carrying a 600 pound log through SEALFIT Hell Week. Six people, 100 pounds each. But the moment one person stops lifting, it's 120 on everyone else. And it never stops at one. Your clinic works the same way. The CA who says "I know, it's a lot" while running the card. The unrequested discount. The team member who decides for the patient what she can afford. None of them are bad people. That's what makes it dangerous. Scarcity delivered with love still sounds like truth. I also get honest about a situation I'm in right now with a team member who inherited a scarcity mindset long before she ever joined us, and the exact approach I'm using to coach it instead of judge it. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP70: The Raise You Shouldn't Give (And the One You're Too Scared To)

    Send us Fan Mail Every practice owner knows the knock on the door. Your associate sits down and says "I've been here three years, I think it's time we talk about my pay." And most of us get this conversation wrong in one of two directions. Some of you give the raise on the spot just to end the awkwardness, even though nothing about the results changed. Others are sitting on 50% margins telling yourself that a doctor making 125K is already "a lot," and then wondering why your best people keep leaving to open up across town. In this episode I break down the compensation framework we use across all of our locations, where there are no ceilings on what a doctor can earn and every dollar is built around math and margins instead of tenure and feelings. I share a raise I gave early on that I never should have, a recent comp negotiation I walked a practice owner through, and the exact four pieces of a structure that kills the awkward raise conversation forever. And if you're the associate listening, don't skip this one. There's a whole segment on how to walk into your owner's office and propose a deal instead of asking for a raise, and the honest audit you need to do before you ever knock on that door. Pay for results, not for time served. And when the results show up, pay big. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP69: Reflection Day: The Mid-Year Reset

    Send us Fan Mail At the beginning of the year, it is easy to set goals, feel motivated, and imagine the person you want to become. But by the middle of the year, your habits, calendar, health, relationships, and business have started telling the truth. In this episode, Dr. Austin Cohen breaks down the power of a Reflection Day — a simple mid-year reset designed to help you stop drifting and realign with what matters most. Austin walks through the 4 Scoreboards of Reflection Day: health, relationships, business, and personal alignment. He also shares the green, yellow, red audit you can use to honestly evaluate where you are on track, where you are drifting, and where you need to make a decision now. This episode is for high performers, business owners, leaders, parents, and anyone who wants the second half of the year to be more intentional than the first. Because success can hide misalignment, busyness can hide truth, and clarity without action is still just a wish. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why July is the perfect time for an honest life audit - How to use the 4 Scoreboards of Reflection Day - Why your health has to support your goals - How to identify where you are drifting - What the green, yellow, red audit reveals - How to choose one action that creates real alignment The second half of the year belongs to the people willing to look honestly, realign quickly, and take action before drift becomes their default. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP68: Jesse Itzler: You Only Get So Many Summers Left

    Send us Fan Mail Jesse Itzler did the math on his own life and it stopped me cold. His oldest is about to be a junior. That's two summers left under the same roof. And when he breaks it down to weekends, to football games, to the number of times he'll realistically see his college friends again, the whole thing gets real fast. We get into a lot in this one. How he went from running two miles to running 100. Why "remember tomorrow" came from a tattoo on a recovering alcoholic's arm. What he thinks separates the people who make money and stay miserable from the ones who make money and are actually happy. And why he won't take any amount of money to miss one of his kid's last eight football games. If you're grinding right now and telling yourself you'll be present later, this is the conversation that'll make you rethink that. Jesse's the guy behind Living With a SEAL, the founder of Marquis Jet and Zico, and one of the people who flipped a switch in my head years ago about what's actually possible for a normal human. Press play. Then go look at your own calendar. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP67: Potential Doesn’t Equal Performance

    Send us Fan Mail A great product, a talented team, and massive potential are not enough. In this episode, Dr. Austin Cohen breaks down the leadership lesson behind companies like Lucid and how the same principle applies inside a chiropractic practice. If your team feels unclear, inconsistent, or dependent on you for every decision, the issue may not be talent. It may be leadership clarity. Austin explains why vision has to become standards, standards have to become systems, and systems have to become performance. 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP66: The Funeral Test: Are You Building a Life People Will Remember?

    Send us Fan Mail I recently got back from a funeral, and it reminded me of something most of us know but rarely live like we know: Nobody remembers the gifts. They remember the moments. At the end of someone’s life, people do not usually talk about the presents, the money, the stuff, or the achievements. They talk about the trips, the traditions, the conversations, the way that person showed up, and how they made people feel. In this episode, I talk about what I call The Funeral Test and why it matters for business owners, leaders, parents, and high achievers. Because so many of us say we are building for freedom, family, and impact, but if we are not careful, the very thing we are building can steal the life we said we wanted. This episode is a reminder to look at your calendar, your business, your relationships, and your priorities and ask: Am I building a life people will remember, or just accumulating things they will forget? 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com

    EP65: Beyond the Yes: 5 Steps to Getting Real Commitment

    Send us Fan Mail Most practice owners think the “yes” is the win. A patient says yes to care, a team member agrees to a plan, or a client commits in the moment, and it feels like the hard part is done. But the real work starts after the yes. In this episode, I break down my framework for going beyond verbal agreement and creating real commitment. You’ll learn the five steps that help turn interest into follow-through, reduce drop-off, and create more clarity for the people you lead and serve. If you’ve ever had someone say yes and then fail to act, this episode will help you understand what was missing and how to fix it 📩 Join the newsletter for weekly business & leadership insights: http://eepurl.com/jghu5I 📸 Follow Austin on Instagram:  @draustincohen 🌐 Explore events + resources:  www.draustincohen.com
