Ep432. The CEO Code, Part 2: How to Take Back Control of Your Time

In Part 2 of The Chiropractic CEO Code series, we’re tackling one of the biggest barriers to growth: time. Specifically, how to stop letting your schedule run you, and start leading your practice with calm, clarity, and control.

You’ll learn:

• The 3 Time Zones every chiropractor must manage (and why most ignore two of them)
• The Sunday CEO Reset: a 30-minute weekly habit that creates instant focus
• What actually counts as CEO time—and the surprising activities that don’t
• How to stop mistaking busyness for progress
• And why one strategic time block per week can shift everything

This episode will help you make space for the leadership your practice actually needs—without burning out or falling further behind.

But if you’re feeling maxed out, stuck in the day-to-day, or wondering why your practice growth has stalled… this episode is for you.

In the kickoff to The Chiropractic CEO Code series, we explore the real reason most practices plateau—and why becoming a better technician or manager won’t fix it.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between a technician, a manager, and a true CEO
• Why many chiropractors think they’re leading—when they’re actually babysitting chaos
• The 5 core responsibilities every CEO chiropractor must master
• How to start the identity shift that makes growth sustainable (and life more enjoyable)

Plus, you’ll get a simple reflection exercise to help you reclaim your leadership role—starting today.

It’s time to stop running your practice on adrenaline and start leading with vision.

AI is everywhere right now — writing blogs, captions, even creating full video content. On the surface, it sounds like a dream: an endless stream of polished marketing without you lifting a finger. But here’s the truth… AI content won’t grow your practice.

Why? Because patients don’t just connect with information — they connect with you. When your marketing voice gets replaced by AI, trust gets built with the wrong thing. And that disconnect shows up where it hurts most: conversion and retention.

In this episode, I’ll break down:

• Why AI content alone won’t bring loyal, long-term patients.
• The hidden danger of abdicating your marketing (vs. delegating it).
• The real role content plays in building trust before a patient walks in.
• A simple 4-step framework for using AI without losing your authentic voice.

If you’ve ever been tempted to let AI take over your marketing, this episode is a must-listen.

Most chiropractors get into practice to help patients — but sooner or later, the business side can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I tackle three of the biggest questions that hold chiropractors back from building the practice they really want:

• How to train your team (even when you feel too busy)
• What to say during the adjustment visit to build trust, drive better outcomes, and strengthen retention
• How to step into the CEO role so the business serves you, instead of the other way around

You’ll walk away with practical frameworks and simple action steps you can implement right away — so you can build a practice that delivers more impact, more freedom, and more enjoyment.

• How to deliver a Report of Findings that earns trust without feeling salesy

You’ll get clear, actionable strategies you can apply right away to attract the right people, create content they look forward to, and make ROF conversations feel natural, confident, and effective.

I’ve spent the last seven weeks on a 12-week road trip with my family through some of the most beautiful parts of northern and western Australia.

From Uluru to outback hikes, missed bookings to magical moments, it’s been equal parts breathtaking and… humbling.

And along the way, I’ve realised just how many of the lessons from this trip apply directly to practice.

In this episode of The Marketing Your Practice Podcast, I’m sharing the stories and insights that surfaced while living in a van, chasing warm weather, and trying to stay sane with a toddler in tow.

You’ll hear about what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how it all ties back to building a high-impact, high-enjoyment practice.

Here’s what I unpack in this episode:

• Why not every day—or even every month—in practice needs to feel amazing
• The real cost of winging it (and how planning is actually an act of commitment)
• Why adaptability is one of the most valuable skills you can build
• The power of asking for help—and how to tap into the collective wisdom around you
• A reminder about chiropractic congruency that hit me… while getting adjusted on a caravan bed

Whether you’re in a season of growth, challenge, or recalibration—I think you’ll find something here that resonates.

You can’t build a high-performance practice without a high-performance team.

But many chiropractors find themselves leading teams that care… but lack clarity.

They’re loyal… but not aligned.

Eager… but unsure how to win.

In this episode of the Marketing Your Practice Podcast, we’re diving into the foundation behind every thriving, sustainable practice: culture.

You’ll learn:

• Why most practice challenges are actually culture problems in disguise
• The difference between being “optimised to win” and “optimised to stick together”
• How to create safety that leads to ownership, not handholding
• Why purpose and values aren’t fluff—they’re your practice’s operating system
• The 3 elements of the Chiropractic Culture Code—and how to spot which one you’re missing

If you’ve ever felt like you’re dragging your team uphill—or doing all the heavy lifting yourself—this episode will give you a new lens (and the tools) to change that.

Hit play now and start building the kind of team that makes practice lighter, faster, and way more fulfilling.

If your practice feels heavy—like you’re the only one who cares, the only one holding it together—it’s probably not a system problem. It’s a relationship problem.

In this episode of the Marketing Your Practice Podcast, we’re flipping the script on leadership and asking a bold question: What kind of relationship do you have with your business?

Because here’s the truth: most chiropractors think about their patients and their team… but never stop to think about the relationship they’ve built with the business itself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why most chiropractors are stuck in an unhealthy relationship with their business (and how to fix it)
• The 5 signs of a healthy, CEO-level relationship with your practice
• How to lead with clarity, boundaries, and vision—without burning out
• Why systems, metrics, and time off aren’t cold—they’re connection
