Chiro Hustle

In this episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester welcomes Hugh Liddle, known as Your Chiropractic Sales Wizard at Red Cap Sales Coaching and Elite Sales Academy.

With over 54 years of in-the-field sales and management experience, Hugh shares how chiropractors can remove the “icky and scary” from sales, engage more meaningfully with prospects, and convert at a much higher rate; all while protecting the freedom to practice on their own terms.

This conversation goes beyond typical sales talk. It’s about communicating in a way that honors your values, preserves patient trust, and invites people into chiropractic care for life.

Highlights

● Why “you statements” are one of the fastest ways to shift a sales conversation into a patient’s world.

● The three essential qualifications every new practice member should meet before beginning care.

● How asking better, open-ended questions can uncover a patient’s true motivations.

● The impact of scripting and role-playing on conversion rates (including one practice that jumped from 32% to 83% in just two months).

● Why chiropractic is the “Rolex of healthcare” and how to help the public see it that way.

● The evolution of sales in the digital age and how chiropractors should adapt.

● The freedom that comes from working only with people who truly value your care.

About Hugh Liddle

Hugh Liddle is Your Chiropractic Sales Wizard at Red Cap Sales Coaching and Elite Sales Academy, where chiropractors learn to make selling easy, fun, and profitable. Drawing on more than five decades of real-world sales experience, Hugh’s approach is rooted in authentic connection and proven strategies that work in today’s environment. Based in Sebring, Florida, Hugh is also an author, speaker, and musician.

Diving Into…

Mastering “You Statements” in Patient Conversations

Most chiropractors love to educate, and that’s a good thing. But Hugh points out that the sales conversation isn’t the time for “we do this” or “I do that.” Instead, shift the focus with statements like “You can have,” “You can enjoy,” or “You can get back to.” Patients care most about what’s in it for them, so speak directly to their desired outcomes.

Qualifying for Care

Not everyone is ready to become a long-term practice member. Hugh explains the three must-haves:

1. The desire and ability to get well.

2. The resources to invest in care.

3. Openness to following recommendations.

Without these, a patient is unlikely to commit, and that can harm both their results and your reputation.

Why Sales is a Form of Freedom

Sales done right aren't pushy or manipulative. It’s an invitation for people to choose a healthcare path rooted in personal choice and responsibility, free from overreach or dependency on systems that limit options. In an age where medical freedom is a growing concern, knowing how to communicate your value clearly is more important than ever.

From Skeptic to Advocate

Hugh candidly shares his own shift from “I’ll come in when I hurt” to fully embracing regular chiropractic care. This change didn’t happen until a chiropractor explained the long-term benefits in a way that connected with him personally, a reminder that education works best when the timing is right.

In this fast-paced episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester sits down with branding powerhouse Isaac Mashman. Isaac, a business strategist and founder of Mashman Consulting Group, joins the conversation to unpack the untapped power of personal branding, reputation management, and digital visibility for chiropractors. If you’re a chiropractor looking to rise above the noise and become the go-to practitioner in your city, this episode is a game-changer.

HIGHLIGHTS

·      Why personal branding starts at birth and how to harness it with intention

·      The real difference between your personal brand and your practice brand

·      How reputation management can fuel referrals and retention

·      Tactical ways to boost Google reviews without breaking FTC rules

·      Why podcasting and public speaking are reputation accelerators

·      What Isaac calls the four reasons people engage with content (and how to use them to dominate locally)

·      Practical tips for becoming a subject matter expert that patients trust

“You already have a personal brand. The question is: are you controlling the narrative or letting it run wild?”

ABOUT ISAAC MASHMAN

Isaac Mashman, businessman and founder of Mashman Consulting Group based in Little Rock, Arkansas, specializes in personal branding and reputation management. He is also an author, podcast host, private investor, and speaker known for helping individuals and businesses grow their digital presence with purpose.

DIVING INTO PERSONAL VS. PRACTICE BRANDING

Isaac makes it clear: your personal brand isn’t something you build, it’s something you reveal and refine. From your name to your beliefs, your brand began at birth. But many chiropractors miss the opportunity to intentionally shape it. When you understand that your practice brand is merely an extension of your personal brand, your messaging becomes more powerful and more human. This alignment leads to trust, visibility, and stronger community positioning.

REPUTATION MANAGEMENT THAT BUILDS TRUST

Reputation isn’t what you say about yourself—it’s what others say about you. Isaac breaks down how chiropractors can improve their online reputation ethically and effectively. Simple actions like responding to reviews and consolidating them on Google can exponentially boost your credibility. He also outlines a compliant way to generate more reviews and referrals without violating FTC guidelines.

USING CONTENT TO WARM UP YOUR MARKET

When prospective patients walk into your practice, would you rather they be cold or already warmed up and ready to engage? Isaac walks listeners through a powerful framework for creating content that informs, connects, entertains, and motivates. From back-crack videos to educational clips about pillows and posture, your content strategy can help close the gap between stranger and loyal patient.

PODCASTING, PUBLIC SPEAKING, AND POSITIONING

Isaac emphasizes that hosting or guesting on podcasts, speaking on stages, and writing articles are not vanity plays. They are branding assets. They speed up trust-building, demonstrate authority, and draw opportunities toward you. Chiropractors who step onto stages, digital or physical, accelerate their reach and become magnets for referrals, media, and new patients.

CLOSING THOUGHT

Branding isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation of your influence. Isaac Mashman delivers a wealth of strategic value that chiropractors can implement immediately to rise above obscurity and position themselves as leaders in their communities.

Introducing Saleem Musallam 

Saleem, founder of Excite Medical and creator of the DRX9000® spinal decompression system, is revolutionizing the way chiropractors treat patients with severe spinal issues. 

In this episode, we dive into how the DRX9000® stands out from traditional traction devices and how Saleem’s mission is empowering chiropractors to offer true, non-surgical alternatives for their patients.

Highlights

• Why the DRX9000® is the leading spinal decompression system backed by research and FDA clearance.

• How Excite Medical supports chiropractors beyond the product: financing, training, and mastermind events.

• The importance of bridging the gap between chiropractic and the medical community.

• Saleem’s marketing workshops and how they help chiropractors strengthen their digital presence.

• Insight into the growing failure rates of spine surgery and why decompression is a safer alternative.

• A powerful reminder about patient safety, medical errors, and the importance of medical freedom.

About Saleem

Saleem is the founder and CEO of Excite Medical. Known for creating the DRX9000®, he partners with chiropractors worldwide to elevate patient care for those suffering from disc degeneration, herniations, and other spinal issues. Saleem’s leadership has built Excite Medical into a research-driven company with a strong community of chiropractors.

Bridging Chiropractic and Medical Communities

Saleem believes that chiropractic must be recognized as a viable alternative to surgery for severe spinal cases. He has raised over $700,000 for decompression research at the University of South Florida, which has caught the attention of neurosurgeons and other medical professionals. By grounding decompression in research, Saleem is helping chiropractic become a trusted option across the healthcare spectrum.

Empowering Chiropractors Through Education

Excite Medical is not just about selling equipment. Saleem runs multiple marketing workshops each year, teaching chiropractors how to optimize their online presence, utilize tools like Google pixels and AI, and uncover blind spots in their patient acquisition strategies. These workshops give doctors confidence to connect with more patients while maintaining their independence.

The Case for Decompression in Practice

Decompression with the DRX9000® attracts patients who might otherwise head straight to surgery. With proven results and a high case value, decompression can transform both patient outcomes and practice growth. Saleem emphasized that true decompression must be distinguished from generic traction devices and that proper patient examination and qualification are essential.

Closing Thought

As Saleem shared, “You have to be convinced to be convincing.” When chiropractors believe in the value they offer, patients will see it too. This episode is a wake-up call about the dangers of unnecessary surgeries and the importance of preserving options for conservative, non-invasive care.

This episode features Jenna Quentin, founder of Adjust Your Media Agency and host of the podcast What Chiropractic Doesn’t Cure: Stories of Innate. Jenna isn’t a chiropractor, but her connection to the profession runs deep. In this conversation with host James Chester, she shares her passion for chiropractic advocacy, her journey as a writer and storyteller, and how she helps principled chiropractors grow their influence through consistent, aligned content.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Jenna shares how chiropractic radically changed the life of her sensory-sensitive, dyslexic child—and how it healed more than just his body.

• She reveals the emotional weight and guilt that came from making health decisions as a young mom in France, and how chiropractic helped her reclaim confidence in her intuition.

• Jenna talks about transitioning from journalism to a full-time chiropractic storyteller and social media strategist.

• Why social media is more about community than clicks—and what “five-mile famous” really means.

• Learn Jenna’s metaphor for organic content strategy: your social media is like your peripheral nerves, your owned content is the spine, and the brain? That’s new patient conversions.

• Hear why she believes podcasting might be the most impactful thing she’s created all year.

ABOUT JENNA

Founder of Adjust Your Media Jenna is a passionate advocate for chiropractic and a powerful storytelling strategist. Through her agency and podcast, she helps chiropractors build connection and visibility through content that reflects their core values. Based on personal experience with chiropractic’s life-changing impact, Jenna brings empathy, heart, and purpose to everything she creates.

DIVING INTO…

The Power of Medical Freedom and Intuition

Jenna’s story begins not with a business, but a deeply personal transformation. Living in France as a young mom, she found herself wrestling with state-mandated medical procedures and a traumatic birth experience. Without access to chiropractic care abroad, she intuitively knew something was off in her body—and waited until returning to the U.S. to get adjusted. This intuitive pull toward chiropractic, paired with the awakening of her voice around medical freedom, sparked a new mission in her life.

Why Social Media is a Vitalistic Strategy

Jenna isn’t just “doing content.” She’s helping chiropractors create ecosystems of trust and connection online. Forget empty metrics or short-term campaigns; she teaches a sustainable, organic approach to digital presence. Her team focuses on creating content that gets shared, saved, and remembered—the kind that builds a brand patients want to refer others to. She reminds DCs: your social media is not a gimmick, it’s part of your wellness care plan for your business.

Creating with Purpose: Adjust Your Media and Storytelling

From blogging and article writing to content calendars and workshops, Jenna’s work is focused on helping principled DCs tell their story in a way that aligns with their mission. Whether it’s short-form reels or long-form email newsletters, her goal is always the same: connection. And as she says, if you’re not having fun with it, it won’t work. Authenticity and enjoyment are key.

Why Her Podcast Might Be Her Greatest Contribution Yet

Her podcast What Chiropractic Doesn’t Cure is more than a content channel. It’s a storytelling engine for chiropractic. Featuring interviews with principled DCs like Dr. Tim Young and Dr. Tony Ebel, it weaves together powerful testimonies and inspires other chiropractors to speak up. It’s also an invitation for the public to hear real outcomes and understand chiropractic through human stories.

CLOSING THOUGHT

Want to know what it means to really connect with your community, share truth online, and grow a principled practice without selling out? This episode is a must-listen.

INTRODUCING GARY BARNES

Meet Gary Barnes, a force of entrepreneurial insight, media savvy, and lived resilience. In this episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, Gary sits down with host James Chester to explore the intersections of chiropractic, media exposure, professional speaking, and the transformative power of storytelling.

Gary is not only the father of a chiropractor, but he also carries a deep respect for the profession, seeing its potential to touch lives when properly communicated to the masses.

https://chirohustle.com/leverage-yourself-as-a-professional-speaker-with-gary-barnes-chiro-hustle-podcast-683/

HIGHLIGHTS

·      Gary shares how chiropractors can become high-impact professional speakers by tapping into their “so that” benefit stories rather than just technical explanations.

·      He explains why writing a book instantly elevates your authority and opens media doors.

·      Gary breaks down the psychology of public speaking fear and how to channel nerves into presence.

·      He redefines sales as service and trust, not closing tactics.

·      A standout quote: “We forget facts, we remember stories.”

·      His signature adversity story - a multiple sclerosis diagnosis with a 10-year death sentence - became a life-defining breakthrough.

·      Gary encourages DCs to focus on the future their patients want, not just the pain they’re in today.

ABOUT GARY BARNES

Gary Barnes, The Breakthrough Business Mastery Coach, is a high-performance strategist, international speaker, and bestselling author. He has built multiple businesses generating over $300 million and has been featured across major media. Diagnosed with MS in 1988, Gary has since become a living embodiment of resilience and purpose.

DIVING INTO…

From Chiropractic Roots to Media Reach

Gary’s son is a chiropractor, and through that connection, Gary developed a unique perspective on how chiropractic can impact more lives - not just through adjustments, but through message mastery. He challenges chiropractors to step into the spotlight and embrace visibility, not shy from it.

The Power of Your “So That” Story

Most chiropractors get stuck talking about techniques. Gary flips the script: Speak to the transformation you provide. It’s not about decompression therapy - it’s about helping a man ditch his cane and walk on stage again. When chiropractors communicate the “so that” behind what they do, they connect on a human level.

Media, Messaging, and Magnifying Your Voice

Gary’s advice for getting on mainstream platforms? Become interesting. His book title “How a Beaver Saved My Life” is a case in point. When you show up ready to serve, not sell, media welcomes you back. And yes, having a book changes the game.

From Fear to Freedom on Stage

Despite giving over 1,000 talks, Gary still gets nervous. His secret? Make the butterflies fly in formation. Speak from your truth. And remember: if you’re listening to your audience instead of performing at them, you’ll always connect.

Service-First Sales and Speaking

Forget “selling” - Gary teaches DCs to build communities through trust and service. Be seen, be safe, be relevant. That’s how people stay, pay, and refer. Speaking is the fastest way to build that connection.

The Adventure of Becoming More

From firewalks to P-51 fighter flights, Gary embodies transformation through courage. His personal motto - “launch and adjust, elevate and separate” - is a call for chiropractors to stop waiting and start stepping into their next level.

CLOSING THOUGHT

“Please take that step into the unknown… Go out and serve. There’s a lot of people that need you, want you. They just don’t know you’re there.”

Marketing is NOT a Vending Machine with Sam Carlson - Chiro Hustle Podcast 682

In episode 682 of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester dives into the deep end of chiropractic marketing with serial entrepreneur and innovative marketer, Sam Carlson. As the co-founder of both Patient Stream and UpHex, Sam has revolutionized lead generation and digital marketing for chiropractors and agencies alike. This episode isn’t just about tools and tactics—it’s a hard-hitting look at what actually works in chiropractic marketing today and what doesn’t.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Sam explains why marketing is NOT a vending machine and how that outdated mindset sabotages patient acquisition.

• He shares the “Qualified Lead Formula” and breaks down the anatomy of a high-converting ad campaign.

• Discover how one client, Dr. Ray Peavey, doubled his volume and added $55K in cash using just one powerful shift in lead handling.

• Learn why niche-specific ads (like for neuropathy or spinal decompression) outperform general chiropractic offers.

• Sam reveals how UpHex enables three-click Facebook ads so simple, even his 10-year-old can launch them.

• Hear the case study that got Patient Stream featured by Meta and what that means for your clinic.

ABOUT SAM CARLSON

Sam Carlson, Serial Entrepreneur & Co-Founder of UpHex, is known for reshaping the way chiropractic clinics attract and convert leads. Through Patient Stream and now UpHex, he empowers thousands of agencies and small businesses with automated, results-driven advertising. He’s also the author of “New Patient School.”

DIVING INTO…

Marketing is NOT a Vending Machine

Sam debunks the myth that digital ads work like magic machines. Chiropractors often expect to plug in a campaign and instantly get new patients. But real marketing takes positioning, patience, and psychology. Sam uses a golf analogy: your ad is the driver that gets the ball in play—but what gets the ball into the hole is real human interaction.

The Qualified Lead Formula

Sam introduces a simple but powerful framework for chiropractors: go niche, speak directly to real problems, and target based on pain points, not generalities. Forget the “$21 exam and x-ray” offers. Instead, talk to the sciatica sufferer who can’t walk their dog or the neuropathy patient whose feet go numb by noon.

Meet Them Where They Are

Rather than educating cold audiences about the philosophy of chiropractic in an ad, Sam insists: speak their language first. Address their lived pain experience. It’s about strategic empathy—and it’s what turns browsers into believers.

How One Phone Call Saved a Clinic

The episode closes with a mic-drop moment: the story of Dr. Ray Peavey, who was on the verge of losing his 30-year practice. After six weeks of floundering with leads, Dr. Peavey got on the phone himself. One real conversation converted into a $4,500 care plan. He repeated the process, doubled his visits, and found new life in practice.

CLOSING THOUGHT

Marketing isn’t about magic funnels or secret buttons. It’s about showing up real, specific, and human—again and again.

Dr. Otto Janke returns to the Chiro Hustle Podcast after a five-year hiatus for an unforgettable discussion about the most urgent and transformational topic facing our profession: longevity. In this compelling episode, Dr. Janke shares the foundational principles behind his “Empire Longevity” movement and why it matters more than ever.

James and Otto dive deep into the sacred trust, the nervous system’s role in optimal health, and how chiropractic can—and must—be seen as the catalyst for more, better years. This episode is more than philosophy; it’s a call to action for chiropractors to lead the charge into a healthier, more empowered future.

HIGHLIGHTS

·      Dr. Janke introduces his vision of “Empire Longevity”—a practical and principled approach to health and longevity.

·      Explains why the nervous system must be optimized as the foundation of any longevity plan.

·      Presents published research connecting chiropractic adjustments with improved heart rate variability and therefore, increased lifespan.

·      Shares a bold, paradigm-shifting equation: Chiropractic → HRV → Longevity.

·      Offers a deeply personal anecdote about the six words his mother shared before her passing that inspired his mission.

·      Advocates for starting longevity from preconception, expanding care to babies and pregnant women.

·      Urges chiropractors to become better communicators and leaders, not just adjusters.

DIVING INTO…

Staying True to Chiropractic Principles

Otto doesn’t mince words—chiropractic is about life, not just pain. He stresses that without an optimized nervous system, even the best lifestyle practices fall short. Subluxation correction is not a secondary consideration in longevity—it’s the foundation.

The Nervous System as the Cornerstone

Using both personal conviction and published data, Dr. Janke makes the case that chiropractic must reclaim its role in the longevity conversation. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) becomes a quantifiable bridge between the adjustment and long-term vitality. If HRV improves with adjustments, and HRV is a marker of longevity, then chiropractic is essential to living a long, vibrant life.

Building More, Better Years

Dr. Janke challenges the profession to reframe health not as the absence of disease, but as the presence of vibrancy and years lived well. From sleep to motion to food and emotional health—these are all supercharged by a nervous system free of interference. His three guiding criteria? Reasonable. Effective. Cost-effective.

Leading the Future Through Communication

One of the most urgent challenges facing chiropractors today, Otto argues, is poor communication. Many don’t know how to tell the story—or even what the story is. He calls for schools to mandate communication training and urges every DC to hone their storytelling skills. Because when patients understand, they stay.

CLOSING THOUGHT

“More, better years” isn’t a slogan—it’s a strategy. One grounded in the nervous system, fueled by subluxation correction, and powered by a profession ready to step into its full role in humanity’s future.

INTRODUCING DR. JOHN OHM DC

Dr. John Ohm DC joins the Chiro Hustle Podcast to bring a fresh yet deeply philosophical perspective to our profession. Born into a chiropractic family, John not only continues a legacy but redefines it by integrating German New Medicine with subluxation-based chiropractic. 

In this episode, we dive into his upbringing, the roots of the Webster Technique, and his pivotal role as editor of Pathways to Family Wellness magazine. If you’re a DC who believes in protecting the Sacred Trust, this conversation is your kind of jam.

https://chirohustle.com/german-new-medicine-and-growing-up-in-a-chiro-family-with-dr-john-ohm-dc-chiro-hustle-podcast-680/

HIGHLIGHTS

• How German New Medicine overlays seamlessly with chiropractic philosophy, identifying “subluxations in the brain” and their effect on organ function.

• The idea of biological programs of adaptation—and how stress-induced lesions in the brain manifest as symptoms in the body.

• Why inflammation and disease may not be breakdowns, but signs of healing in motion.

• The influence of DD Palmer’s 1910 work and how Dr. Ohm sees its fulfillment in modern discoveries.

• The origin and impact of Pathways magazine, now on its 83rd issue.

• The importance of birth skills and how they tie directly into the principles behind the Webster Technique.

• The role of chiropractic in family dynamics, pregnancy, and pediatric care.

DIVING INTO…

The Brain-Body Connection, Reimagined

Dr. Ohm explains how German New Medicine identifies lesions in the brain (known as “hamer herds”) that mirror vertebral subluxations. These brain lesions—triggered by emotional or biological conflict shocks—initiate organ-specific adaptations that we typically interpret as disease. It’s a revelation that supports and amplifies the chiropractic principle: life expresses intelligence.

Chiropractic Roots, Reignited

Growing up in a family immersed in chiropractic, John’s journey is woven with tradition and vision. He shares how the early efforts of his late mother, co-founder of ICPA’s Pathways magazine, became the foundation for a movement. Her humble newsletter blossomed into a worldwide wellness publication that educates parents and practitioners alike.

Birth Skills and the Webster Legacy

John brings clarity to the often misunderstood Webster Technique—not merely for turning breech babies but as a neuromechanical tool to balance the mother’s pelvis and support optimal birth outcomes. He introduces the concept of birth skills as the missing half of the birth conversation and how Webster Technique sits at its epicenter.

Chiropractic’s Future is Family

In a world increasingly disconnected from natural processes, Dr. Ohm offers a vision of empowerment. When families understand how to participate actively in health and birth, supported by principled chiropractors, the profession’s future becomes not only viable—but vital.
