Listen Later

Every business has a backstory and Dr. Carrie Sands’ journey is all about grit, reinvention, and purpose.

In this episode of The Founders Hustle, host Judy Swafford sits down with Dr. Carrie Sands, a sports chiropractor who’s built seven successful practices without outside investors, without shortcuts, and without giving up.

From opening her first office at 25 with a borrowed paint roller to becoming a waitlisted practitioner in a small Michigan town, Carrie shares:

- How she scaled and sold multiple clinics on her own terms
- The biggest lessons about money, scaling, and mentorship
- The moment she almost quit—and what pulled her back
- Why she’s now passionate about teaching and coaching others to thrive

Whether you’re an entrepreneur starting from scratch or a seasoned founder reinventing your path, this conversation is packed with real talk, practical wisdom, and serious inspiration.
