    368 - How Millionaires Run Meetings

    Meetings don't consume time. They create leverage. The moment a business begins to grow, the doctor faces a choice: remain the person solving every problem or become the leader who develops people capable of solving them. That transition rarely happens by accident, and it often reveals itself in the way meetings are run.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the Millionaire Meeting Framework, a seven-step process designed to transform meetings from routine conversations into high-leverage opportunities for alignment, accountability, leadership development, and execution. From creating clarity around PRIORITY to empowering team members to think critically and bring solutions instead of problems, this episode provides a practical roadmap for moving beyond owner-operator thinking and building a business that can grow through people rather than depend on them.In This Episode You Will Discover:  Why the most valuable meetings often start with a question most leaders skip  The hidden reason smart teams continue solving the wrong problems  A framework that develops leaders instead of creating more dependence  How one simple question can completely change the quality of team conversations  The difference between a meeting that consumes time and one that creates leverage   Episode Highlights 02:10 - Meetings don't consume time. They create leverage, and the best leaders know how to multiply their impact through them.  05:17 - The fastest leaders aren't the ones who rush meetings. They're the ones who bring a framework.  07:14 - Question 1: How are you doing? A one-minute check-in sets the tone before the business begins.  08:20 - Question 2: What is our priority? Every great meeting starts by identifying the one constraint that matters most.  11:28 - Question 3: What is the objective of this meeting? Clarify the problem before trying to solve it.  15:08 - Question 4: What is your 1-3-1? Great leaders don't collect problems. They develop critical thinkers.  18:41 - Question 5: How can I help you? Support replaces rescue when a leader chooses coaching over taking ownership of every task.  20:47 - Question 6: Do we have a solution? Alignment happens when expectations become clear agreements.  21:02 - Question 7: What is your takeaway? Every meeting ends with do what, by whom, and by when. 21:45 - Imaging technology is evolving rapidly, and chiropractors have more opportunities than ever to improve efficiency and patient care. Dr. Pete sits down with J.R. Marsee from Success Partner Blue Ridge Imaging to explore turnkey imaging solutions, ongoing support, and the growing role of AI in modern chiropractic practices. Together, they discuss how the right technology partner can help practices operate with greater confidence today while preparing for the future.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Blue Ridge Imaging please visit: https://blueridgeimagingtechnologies.com Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

    How Partnership Helped Two Practice Owners Nearly Double Their Business (Another TRP Success Case Study)

    The ceiling wasn't clinical ability, passion or effort…It was the business model.  What happens when two busy practice owners realize they've both become the biggest obstacle to their own growth? In this case study, Dr. Aaron Collins and Dr. Nathan Clem share how two thriving but plateaued practices became one scalable business by replacing personality-driven growth with leadership, systems, and shared vision.  After spending 15 years running independent practices, they partnered together, embraced the Chiropractic Operating System, nearly doubled their business with a smaller team, and created more freedom for both their families and their future. Their story proves that sustainable growth isn't about working harder. It's about building a business that can grow beyond the people who started it.   In This Case Study you will: See how two successful practices broke through years of stagnation by joining forces instead of continuing to grow alone.  Discover why replacing personality-driven leadership with systems became the turning point for sustainable growth.  Follow the evolution from owner/operators to CEOs who built a business instead of simply running one.  Hear what changed after implementing a partnership built on complementary strengths rather than overlapping responsibilities.  Gain insight into how doubling the business with a smaller team created greater freedom, profitability, and impact. Episode Highlights 03:14 - Two successful practices had both reached the same frustrating ceiling, proving that growth can stall even when a business appears successful. 04:13 - A New Year's Eve conversation between longtime friends became the unexpected beginning of a completely new business vision. 08:14 - The realization that a personality-driven practice could never outgrow the person leading it changed everything. 09:37 - One powerful distinction reframed growth forever: the greatest strength of a leader can eventually become the greatest weakness of the organization. 10:36 - Systems didn't replace leadership. They created the structure that allowed everyone on the team to perform at a higher level. 11:09 - Year after year, disciplined execution transformed one partnership into a business approaching twice its original size. 13:49 - Greater profitability became the vehicle for something even more valuable: more freedom, fewer clinical days, and a business designed around life. 17:41 - The biggest identity shift wasn't becoming a better clinician. It was letting go of being the center of the business. 21:19 - Building a "stop doing" list became just as important as building a to-do list for sustainable growth. 23:55 - The future belongs to practices that learn to build remarkable businesses, not just deliver remarkable care. 26:05 - A thriving practice deserves a financial strategy to match. Dr. Andrew welcomes Bel Gibbons from Success Partner Investorus Strategists to share how personalized financial planning, investment strategies, and long-term wealth creation help chiropractors turn today's success into tomorrow's legacy.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Investorus please visit: https://investorus.com.au  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

    367 - These 2 Things Make Patients Happily Pay Your Price

    What if patients aren't saying no because of the price, but because they haven't experienced the value?  Many doctors struggle with pricing because they're viewing it through the lens of cost rather than impact.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why experience and outcomes are the two forces that drive value, how pricing communicates value before a patient ever starts care, and why a remarkable patient experience creates opportunities that discounting never will.  From limiting beliefs around money to real-world examples of luxury purchases, restaurants, and patient care, this conversation challenges practice owners to rethink what they're actually selling and how that influences every pricing decision they make. The result is a powerful shift from defending fees to creating value that patients are happy to invest in.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why the biggest pricing problem in most practices starts long before the report of findings  A powerful distinction between what patients pay for and what they actually value The hidden danger of building a business model around assumptions about what people can afford  How one bad experience can erase an otherwise exceptional outcome  What it really means to become the practice everyone in town talks about   Episode Highlights 02:57 - What if the biggest obstacle to raising prices has nothing to do with your patients?  03:38 - How do you put a price on changing the trajectory of someone's life?  04:21 - The people most doctors think are broke may actually have a completely different problem.  04:54 - Why working harder can never fix a broken business model.  05:19 - The difference between something that costs less and something that's actually worth more.  07:13 - What changes when a doctor becomes fully convinced of the value they provide?  08:15 - Patients don't always make decisions based on price, but they always make them based on value.  09:34 - Why higher prices often create a stronger perception of quality before a word is spoken.  11:01 - What are patients really buying when they choose a practice?  14:07 - How quickly can one interaction convince someone they're in the right place?  17:30 - One bad experience was enough to erase everything that went right.  19:02 - Every patient is making a value calculation, whether they realize it or not.  19:59 - Remarkable isn't a marketing term. It's a standard.  21:51 - What are patients talking about when they leave your office?  24:23 - Were they paying for breakfast, or were they paying for something else entirely? 25:04 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support. They explore how virtual team members help practices protect marketing investments, strengthen patient communication, reduce administrative workload, and create scalable systems that support sustainable growth.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

    366 - Are You Letting This Type of Friction Stunt Your Growth?

    What if the biggest barrier to patient retention isn't your care, but the time it takes patients to get answers?  Today’s patient wants answers fast.  Today’s Chiropractor wants to increase speed, quality of care - and compensation for all of the above.  Technology is the answer.  As patient expectations continue to accelerate, practices that can provide immediate clarity, faster care pathways, and greater certainty create a significant advantage. Dr. Timay sits down with John Conidi from Next Healthcare to explore how in-house radiology helps reduce patient drop-off, improve retention, mitigate medico-legal risk, and create new revenue opportunities for the practice. The conversation unpacks the financial realities of implementing imaging, the critical role of radiologist reporting in protecting both patients and providers, and how emerging AI technology may soon help identify urgent findings faster than ever before. The result is a compelling look at why imaging is becoming far more than a diagnostic tool. It's becoming a strategic driver of better patient experiences, stronger clinical outcomes, and sustainable practice growth.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why a simple referral outside the practice may be costing far more patients than most realize  The overlooked medico-legal responsibility that comes with every image taken  A revenue opportunity hiding inside a service many practices already recommend  How reducing diagnostic delays can dramatically strengthen patient trust and retention  The emerging AI capability that could identify urgent cases before they reach the top of the reporting queue   Episode Highlights 02:04 - Why the speed of getting answers may matter just as much as the quality of care.  02:41 - A simple referral for imaging may be creating more patient drop-off than most practices realize.  03:37 - The path from diagnosis to care changes dramatically when answers happen immediately.  04:09 - Every X-ray captures more than the spine, creating a level of responsibility many practitioners never fully consider.  05:45 - What if radiology reporting could become a strategic asset instead of simply another expense?  08:24 - The strongest return on an X-ray machine may have less to do with reimbursement than with practice growth.  09:16 - Convenience isn't just good service anymore. It's becoming a competitive advantage.  10:40 - Removing barriers to advanced imaging could dramatically shorten the patient's journey to answers.  15:19 - What if months of waiting for an MRI could become a matter of days?  16:52 - The future of radiology may not be faster reports, but knowing which patients need attention first.  19:05 - One routine image uncovered something nobody expected and completely changed the care plan.  19:36 - Taking the image is only the beginning. The real responsibility starts with everything that comes after. 20:39 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support. They explore how virtual team members help practices protect marketing investments, strengthen patient communication, reduce administrative workload, and create scalable systems that support sustainable growth.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Next Healthcare please visit: https://nexthc.com.au/   For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

    365 - The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Practice This Summer

    Many owners spend years building a successful practice only to discover they've built a business that still depends entirely on them. The result is a hidden ceiling on growth, freedom, and impact. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge the conventional obsession with scalability and introduce a more powerful objective: durability. Through the concept of Week 13, they reveal how scheduled vacations become a leadership accelerator, a business stress test, and a catalyst for developing stronger teams, stronger systems, and greater trust. The payoff is a practice that continues to create value, serve patients, and grow even when the owner steps away.  The most expensive vacation is the one that you never take.  The second most expensive vacation is the one that you have to shut the practice down to take it.  Build DURABILITY into your practice so that you don’t have to pay for your vacation twice.  Spend the money that you are going to lose.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why taking time away may be the fastest path to building a stronger business A leadership challenge that exposes whether a practice is truly durable The hidden cost of becoming indispensable to patients and team members How a vacation can become a transformational opportunity for an associate doctor A simple framework that turns time away into a catalyst for growth Episode Highlights 02:59 - A surprisingly simple recommendation reveals whether a business is truly built for growth. 03:43 - The distinction between scalability and durability changes the way success should be measured. 04:44 - One overlooked business metric dramatically impacts long-term value and freedom. 06:17 - A concept called Week 13 challenges conventional thinking about productivity and success. 08:27 - The most effective growth strategy may look suspiciously like stepping away. 08:36 - A powerful question exposes what must be true for a business to thrive without its owner. 09:29 - The connection between personal energy and business performance becomes impossible to ignore. 10:49 - Patient behavior often reveals a leadership issue hiding beneath the surface. 15:06 - An uncomfortable contradiction challenges the way many health-focused professionals live their lives. 17:37 - A decision that feels expensive in the short term may create outsized returns everywhere else. 18:58 - One experience can accelerate an associate doctor's growth faster than months of training. 21:21 - A looming deadline creates the kind of urgency that leadership development requires. 22:38 - The difference between being away and truly disconnecting becomes crystal clear. 25:38 - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth. They discuss using objective nervous system data to improve retention, scale with team leverage, increase PVA, and strengthen certainty in care planning. CLA’s technology enhances attraction, conversion, collections, and long-term scalability.

    364 - Get Your Money Right

    The biggest choke on your growth probably isn't a lack of New Patients. It's the invisible money constraints hiding inside an otherwise successful practice. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen unpack how flawed pricing strategies, broken money beliefs, and ineffective money models quietly choke growth, reduce profitability, and limit impact. Through real-world examples, practical benchmarks, and a powerful reframe around value, conviction, and outcomes, they reveal how remarkable businesses create the resources needed to expand their mission. The payoff is a clear framework for identifying hidden revenue opportunities, strengthening confidence in recommendations, and building a business that can sustainably serve more people.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why a seven-figure practice uncovered an additional six figures of annual revenue without adding a single new patient  The uncomfortable truth behind underpricing and the stories that keep doctors stuck there A powerful distinction between charging for services and charging for outcomes  How weak conviction silently shows up as poor conversion and inconsistent collections  The money mindset shift that transforms profit from a guilty topic into a mission multiplier Episode Highlights 03:27 - The breakthrough starts by identifying the single constraint that makes every other problem look bigger than it is.  05:13 - A thriving seven-figure practice discovers hidden revenue simply by delivering and charging for overlooked value.  08:24 - The difference between growth and profitability turns out to be smaller than most owners think.  09:40 - An industry-wide statistic exposes just how much untapped potential is sitting inside existing practices.  10:54 - Growth accelerates when attention shifts from solving five problems to eliminating one bottleneck.  17:14 - A common leadership habit quietly prevents owners from seeing money that's already available.  18:16 - The stories doctors tell themselves about pricing may be costing far more than they realize.  19:40 - A simple benchmark challenges whether value and fees are actually aligned.  22:15 - The real value gap isn't what is being delivered. It's what is never being communicated.  26:01 - One subtle shift in how recommendations are presented can completely change the response.  29:00 - A lesson about commitment, value, and human behavior reframes the entire money conversation.  30:27 - The distinction between selling a service and creating an outcome changes everything.  31:29 - A powerful distinction challenges the conventional relationship between service, value, and transformation. 33:23 - Dr. Lona sits down with Dr. Brian Capra from Success Partner ClinicMind to explore how chiropractic practices are evolving beyond traditional EHR systems into fully integrated growth platforms. They discuss how AI, automation, patient communication, and practice management are transforming attraction, retention, and scalability for modern clinics. Dr. Brian also shares how ClinicMind is helping practices simplify operations, improve patient experiences, and prepare for the future of chiropractic growth through one connected platform.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about ClinicMind please visit: https://www.clinicmind.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

    363 - The Future of Chiropractic Is Happening Faster Than Most Realize

    What if the future of chiropractic growth has less to do with hiring more people and more to do with freeing the right people to fully serve? Dr. Pete Camiolo and Dr. Eric Kowalke, Founder and CEO of SKED, unpack how AI, automation, and operational systems are reshaping the modern chiropractic office without sacrificing the human connection that makes chiropractic powerful. From front desk overwhelm and rising operational costs to predictive retention technology and smarter patient communication, the episode reveals how technology can eliminate distraction, improve efficiency, and create a more remarkable experience for both patients and teams. The payoff is a compelling blueprint for scaling family-based care while protecting the heart of the profession. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why the most overwhelmed practices are often drowning in operational distraction instead of patient demand   A smarter approach to using technology without sacrificing human connection or chiropractic culture  How rising staffing costs are forcing practice owners to rethink scalability and efficiency  The surprising role front desk presence plays in retention, energy, and patient experience  What predictive AI may soon reveal about patient behavior, follow-through, and long-term retention   Episode Highlights 04:15 - A scheduling challenge uncovers a bigger mission to help technology create more meaningful human connection inside the practice 08:00 - Why patient experience often suffers when team attention is pulled away from the people standing right in front of them 11:15 - A powerful self-audit challenges leaders to identify the one operational weakness they already know needs attention 13:00 - The family atmosphere found in thriving practices is traced back to something far deeper than systems or procedures 16:45 - Growing operational demands expose the difficult balance between staffing needs, profitability, and expansion 19:15 - Rising payroll and benefit costs reveal why many traditional growth strategies are becoming harder to sustain 22:30 - A new approach to technology emerges as a way to amplify chiropractic impact without compromising core values 26:00 - Visionary growth goals collide with team capacity, creating a challenge familiar to many practice owners 29:00 - A series of "what if" questions reframes how offices think about administrative workload and operational efficiency 33:30 - Unexpected scheduling data reveals when people are most likely to seek help and take action on their health 39:00 - Artificial intelligence uncovers surprising retention patterns that may help practices identify patient drop-off before it happens 45:36 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support.

    362 - How to Turn Your Team’s Busyness into Productivity

    Most practice owners think team struggles come from staffing shortages, difficult personalities, or lack of motivation, but Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge that assumption head-on. Dr. Pete frames the conversation around identifying the primary constraint limiting growth, while Dr. Stephen focuses on accountability as the force that turns busyness into productivity. Together, they unpack the “four rights” of building a high-performing team: right people, right positions, right work, and right way.   Getting these “4 Rights” right starts with your hiring process.  Set Expectations and Agreements early in the relationship - and make sure that they understand that your business is a “High Accountability" environment.  Along the way, they reveal why A-Players thrive in accountable cultures, how unclear expectations quietly sabotage scalability, and why stronger leadership systems create greater focus, healthier culture, and sustainable growth. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why many teams stay busy all day while producing surprisingly little movement  The hidden reason accountability systems fail even when leaders think they’re “clear”  A sharper framework for identifying whether the issue is the person, the seat, or the work itself  What happens when A players are surrounded by unclear expectations and weak ownership  The surprising connection between focus, productivity, profitability, and team alignment Episode Highlights 01:35 - A powerful vision emerges around identifying the single team constraint quietly limiting growth and scalability  02:43 - Counterintuitive insight reveals why most practice owners have a focus problem instead of an effort problem  04:21 - Accountability gets reframed as the force that transforms motion into measurable movement  05:44 - A deeper look at A players exposes why great team members actually demand accountability  07:07 - Positioning takes center stage as leaders confront the costly mistake of placing people outside their zone of genius  08:37 - Practical strategy separates roles, responsibilities, and outcomes into a framework teams can actually execute 10:56 - A sharp hiring distinction reveals why CEOs should stop selling candidates into the job  14:45 - A compelling leadership challenge emerges around creating measurable ownership instead of vague expectations  16:49 - Early hiring mistakes expose how fast-moving CEOs unintentionally sabotage team quality  21:00 - Vision for a world-class team comes alive through the metaphor of a band where every player owns their role  22:35 - The real financial cost of weak accountability surfaces through productivity, profitability, and team optimization metrics 27:58 - Stephanie Dove Blake from Success Partner Social Sparrow joins Dr. Pete to share her personal journey from witnessing the impact of chronic pain to helping chiropractors reach more patients through digital marketing. They discuss lead generation, patient conversion, AI, and the systems Social Sparrow uses to help practices attract, book, and serve more people.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Social Sparrow please visit: https://socialsparrow.com   Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?
