    EP 437 | Information Isn't Enough...Why Chiropractors Need To Lead People To Transformation with Dr. Steve Tullius

    What if giving people more information isn't enough to help them take the next step? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius, a chiropractor, educator, workshop strategist, and advocate for helping chiropractors communicate their message to more people. Steve has been in practice for 24 years and has spent the last decade focused on helping chiropractors create demand for chiropractic through communication strategies and workshops. He also serves as chairman of the board of Sherman College and is involved in several professional initiatives focused on advancing chiropractic. 437 Steve Tellius-1 Ed and Steve unpack why many chiropractors can give an incredible presentation, provide valuable information, and still struggle to get people to take the next step. The difference, Steve explains, is between logical certainty and emotional certainty. People need information, but they also need to see a clear picture of the transformation they could experience and understand what taking the next step actually looks like. 437 Steve Tellius-1 The conversation also explores workshops, public speaking, practice growth, burnout, leadership, communication, and why chiropractors need to find ways to share their message without sacrificing themselves in the process. Steve shares how workshops became the foundation of his own practice and eventually grew into a system that has helped doctors deliver more than 10,000 workshops. 437 Steve Tellius-1 In this episode: Why information alone doesn't necessarily create action The difference between logical certainty and emotional certainty Why people need transformation, not just information How workshops can become a consistent practice-growth strategy Why public speaking can help chiropractors develop communication and leadership skills How Steve built a workshop system that generated consistent new-patient opportunities Why the biggest challenge isn't always getting people into the room How to move people from attending a workshop to taking the next step Why transparency around the care process matters How clearly communicating what happens after the initial exam can reduce uncertainty Why chiropractors need to communicate their message with conviction The connection between confidence, experience, and practice growth Why chiropractors can burn themselves out by sacrificing too much of their personal lives How Steve learned to create more space for himself and his family Why finding common ground can help move the profession forward The importance of collaboration without compromising core principles How workshops can help doctors become better communicators and leaders Why chiropractors should focus on the populations they are best equipped to serve Steve's advice for chiropractors struggling with confidence The importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs Steve's core message is simple: People don't just need more information. They need to understand the transformation, believe in the possibility, and know what the next step looks like. CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Patrick Garrett, a chiropractor and practitioner focused on functional and lifestyle medicine, for a wide-ranging conversation about chronic conditions, nutrition, lifestyle, patient education, and how chiropractors can expand the way they think about patient care.

    EP 435 | Stop Trying To Be Everything To Everyone...Why Chiropractors Need To Find Their People with Dr. Susan Mitchell

    What if burnout isn't always about working too hard...but spending your energy on the wrong things? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Susan Mitchell, a chiropractor with nearly 30 years in practice and approximately 20 years of experience coaching chiropractors, for a conversation about passion, purpose, burnout, communication, leadership, and building a chiropractic practice that actually fuels you. Dr. Susan shares why she believes chiropractors can create successful, fulfilling practices when they become intentional about who they serve, what they are passionate about, and where they put their energy. Ed and Susan unpack why so many chiropractors feel burned out, why simply pushing harder isn't always the answer, and how identifying what is no longer serving you can help create more freedom and fulfillment. They also explore the importance of knowing your ideal patient, communicating with authenticity instead of relying on scripts, developing yourself alongside your practice, and creating exponential impact by helping other chiropractors succeed. Susan also discusses her approach to coaching and why she focuses on "more impact, more freedom, more you" rather than encouraging chiropractors to chase endless business opportunities. In this episode: Why working harder isn't always the solution to burnout How passion can fuel your practice instead of exhausting you Why chiropractors need to identify their ideal patients The importance of being intentional about who you serve How to recognize when people, habits, or situations are no longer a fit Susan's concept of "weeding your garden" Why self-awareness matters when you're feeling burned out The power of asking yourself, "What is actually true?" Why communication matters more than memorizing scripts Why chiropractors should tell the whole truth instead of trying to please everyone The connection between personal growth and practice growth Why building a chiropractic business doesn't have to mean adding more and more services Susan's philosophy of more impact, more freedom, more you How group coaching can create exponential impact Why chiropractors can learn from one another inside a group environment The importance of purpose and passion for the future of chiropractic Why younger chiropractors need mentorship and support How to take action when you feel that something needs to change The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people Susan's advice to her younger self about finding your people and focusing your energy Susan's message is simple: You don't have to be everything to everyone. Find your people, know your purpose, and put your energy where you can make the greatest impact. CONNECT WITH DR.

    EP 434 | Stop Waiting For Patients To Find You...Why Chiropractors Need To Get Back Into Their Communities with Dr. Paul Reed

    What if the biggest obstacle to growing your chiropractic practice isn't a lack of opportunity...but a lack of action? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Paul Reed, chiropractor, mentor, entrepreneur, and practice growth expert, for a conversation about why chiropractors must get back into their communities to create more opportunities to serve. Dr. Paul has spent decades building successful chiropractic practices, opening multiple clinics, mentoring doctors, and developing systems that help chiropractors grow their impact. Ed and Paul unpack why many chiropractors struggle with new patient acquisition and why relying only on social media, Google, or digital marketing may not be enough. Instead, they explore why the fundamentals of relationship building still matter: getting out into the community, creating conversations, building referral opportunities, and developing multiple marketing pillars that consistently bring new people into a practice. Dr. Paul shares why chiropractors need to shift their mindset from "I need patients" to "people need what I provide" and how confidence, certainty, and a mission-driven approach can change the way doctors approach practice growth. They also dive into leadership, team culture, scaling, and how chiropractors can build practices that create freedom instead of becoming another source of burnout. In this episode: Why many chiropractors struggle with consistent new patient acquisition Why relying only on social media and Google can limit practice growth The importance of creating multiple marketing pillars Why referrals don't happen automatically and how to create referral systems How community screenings, events, and speaking opportunities create connections Why chiropractors need to get outside their four walls The mindset shift from acquiring patients to serving people Building confidence through more conversations Why planning your marketing calendar matters Creating a strong team culture inside your practice The role of leadership and communication in practice growth Why KPIs alone are not enough to motivate a team Scaling from one practice to multiple locations Creating freedom through systems, leverage, and assets The importance of building something valuable before exiting practice Dr. Paul's message is simple: Growth comes from taking action. If you want more people to experience chiropractic, you have to create more opportunities to reach them. CONNECT WITH DR.

    EP 433 | Downloads Don't Matter...Why Every Chiropractor Should Be Podcasting with Tim Holloway

    What if the real value of a podcast has almost nothing to do with how many people listen? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Tim Holloway, podcast strategist, relationship builder, and founder of 10X Podcasting, for a conversation about why podcasting may be more relevant for chiropractors today than ever before. Tim has spent approximately eight years in podcasting and teaches business owners to use the medium not simply to publish content, but to build relationships, expand their networks, generate opportunities, and create genuine influence. Ed and Tim unpack why chiropractors may be looking at podcasting completely wrong. Instead of obsessing over downloads, they explore how a podcast can get you into conversations with referral partners, experts, community leaders, potential clients, and people you otherwise might never have access to. Tim describes podcasting as a content machine, connection machine, and collaboration machine—all of which can ultimately lead to new business opportunities. They also dive into the rapidly changing relationship between podcasting, video, social media and AI. Ed shares what he has observed while auditing the online authority of healthcare practitioners: doctors with established podcasts repeatedly demonstrated stronger online trust signals. The conversation explores why consistently publishing long-form content across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and social platforms can create a growing digital footprint around your name and brand. In this episode: Why downloads may be one of the least important measures of podcast success How interviewing the right people can create referral relationships Why chiropractors should think of Apple Podcasts and Spotify as search engines Podcasting as an authority and trust-building platform Why Tim recommends video alongside audio Turning one podcast episode into an entire week of content with AI How frequently a new podcaster should publish Why consistency matters more than perfection Using your podcast to connect with your ideal audience The coming impact of AI on podcast production Why authenticity may become even more valuable as AI-generated content grows Tim's "push and pull" philosophy for personal growth Tim's philosophy is simple: the podcast itself is only part of the strategy. The relationships created around it are where much of the value lives.

    In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Matt Delgado — a 10-year chiropractor based in Austin, Texas, founder of Lifespring Chiropractic, and author of the upcoming book Stepping Out of the Grave: How to Heal When You're Tired of Trying. This is a deeply personal and clinically powerful conversation. Dr. Delgado shares how a Graves' disease diagnosis three months into his first associate position sent him into a year of forced simplicity — and how that experience became the foundation for an entirely new philosophy of care built around one powerful idea: treat the body like a plant, not a car. From nervous system scans and torque release to AI referrals, website conversion, and the future of the chiropractic profession — this episode covers ground that every chiropractor needs to hear.

    EP 430: Dr. Mark Romano: If You're Not Congruent With These 33 Principles, You're Simply Practicing Something Else

    In this powerful episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Mark Romano — a 33-year chiropractor, teacher, and philosophical powerhouse practicing the Non-Therapeutic Chiropractic (NTC) model across three offices in Mississippi. Dr. Romano brings rare clarity and conviction to the big idea of chiropractic — from his early days at Palmer College and his relationship with Reggie Gold, Joe Strauss, and Claude Lassard, to building thriving practices entirely without third-party pay. This is a conversation about philosophy, certainty, precision of language, and what it truly means to be congruent with the 33 principles of chiropractic. What You'll Hear In This Episode: — How a line in a book by Franco Columbu set Dr. Romano on his path to chiropractic at age 13 — His relationship with Reggie Gold, Joe Strauss, and the evolution of NTC philosophy — Why "if you're not congruent with the 33 principles, you're simply practicing something else" — The difference between the therapeutic and non-therapeutic chiropractic models — Why precision of language matters more now than ever before — How ChatGPT is changing the consultation before patients even walk in the door — Why vertebral subluxation — not just subluxation — is the accurate term — Building three successful NTC practices with no contracts and no third-party pay — What Dr. Romano would tell his younger self after 33 years in practice — The recommended reading roadmap for chiropractors serious about philosophy Resources & Links Mentioned: - NTSC Institute (Non-Therapeutic Straight Chiropractic Institute): https://ntscinstitute.com - Why Chiropractic? by Dr. Mark Romano — available at ntscinstitute.com - Claude Lassard's Blue Books — search ntscinstitute.com for details - Joe Strauss — Refined by Fire, Chiropractic Philosophy, Toward a Better Understanding of Chiropractic Philosophy - RW Stephenson — Chiropractic Textbook (Volume 14) - The Bigness of the Fellow Within by BJ Palmer - The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson - Atomic Habits by James Clear Connect With Dr. Mark Romano: - Website: https://ntscinstitute.com - Online Learning: NTC Institute — $89/month Connect With TCP: - Website: https://www.chiropracticphilanthropist.com - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-chiropractic-philanthropist-with-dr-ed-osburn/id911516462 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/164LfnNvQ3dIaL7nhIkfvr Our Valued Sponsors — Thank You For Supporting TCP: INSiGHT CLA — Advanced chiropractic assessment technology.
