Are you starting a business for the right reasons? What’s truly driving your entrepreneurial journey? Have you ever felt like stress is dictating your business decisions instead of abundance?

Hey there, everyone! Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast. I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot — coach, business strategist, and physical therapist. If you’re here, chances are you’re at the exciting (and maybe slightly nerve-wracking) beginning of your entrepreneurial journey. Or maybe you’re a seasoned pro looking for fresh inspiration. Today, we’re diving into three crucial insights that every aspiring business owner needs to hear. Trust me; these lessons aren’t just about business — they’re about growth, fulfilment, and creating a life you love.

What is this all about, really? So, why are you starting this business? That’s a big, deep question. It’s more than providing for your family or helping your clients. There’s something deeper driving you — something personal. In this episode, we’ll explore how uncovering your true motivations can unlock clarity and focus in your business journey. It’s not just about strategy; it’s about purpose.

 

In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you:

• How to dig deep and uncover your true "why"

• The importance of slowing down and aligning your business with your habits

• Why stress and urgency are not the same, and how to approach business with abundance

• Pragmatic steps to build a business from a place of freedom rather than need

 

At the end of the day, building a successful business isn’t just about the steps you take — it’s about understanding why you’re taking them. By aligning your goals with your true motivations, slowing down to create intentional systems, and staying pragmatic in your approach, you can create a thriving business that truly reflects who you are. Thanks for tuning in, and remember, your journey is yours to own. Keep growing, keep learning, and keep building.

Are your practice’s values guiding you toward fulfillment, or are they holding you back?

What would happen if your business truly reflected the values that matter most to you?

 

Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I’m David Bayliff, thrilled to have you with us. Today, I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot, our lead personal development coach, to discuss the transformative impact of core values in practice management. Drawing on insights from my business partner, Kevin DeGroot, we'll share strategies for aligning your practice with values that enhance purpose, culture, and fulfillment.

We'll focus on differentiating “core values” from “permission to play” values. Hannah will explain how aspirational and accidental values can either promote growth or act as barriers. Our aim? To develop a set of core values that authentically represents your practice’s unique identity.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• The four types of values every practice owner should know

• How to identify and implement core values that align with your purpose

• The role of values in attracting ideal clients and building a strong team

• Strategies for transitioning from solo practice to effective team leadership

• Practical steps to reignite passion and purpose in your work

 

As we wrap up, remember this: defining your core values isn’t just about setting guidelines—it’s about creating a practice that reflects who you are and what you stand for. When your business embodies its values, you’ll not only attract the right clients and team members but also find greater fulfillment in your work. Let your values guide you to build a practice that’s both successful and inspiring.

 

Uncaged Hack:“If you're feeling a lack of passion or you're feeling uninspired or unfulfilled, go back to your values because it can give you that sense of purpose and inspiration that you might be missing.” —Hannah DeGroot

 

Are you curious about how occupational health can revolutionize workplaces?

What role do physical therapists play in transforming employee well-being on an industrial scale?

 

Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I’m David Bayliff, excited for today's episode with Thomas Sullivan, co-founder of Discover Physical Therapy. We're exploring the niche of industrial and occupational health, where Thomas has helped physical therapists thrive in workplace settings, particularly with blue-collar workers.

Today, we'll discuss how occupational health transcends injury treatment to include prevention, workforce understanding, and workplace culture transformation. Thomas will share his transition from traditional PT to this sector, navigating challenges such as OSHA regulations and demonstrating ROI. He’ll also detail his three-tiered approach that enhances workplace health beyond just managing injuries.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• The transition from traditional PT to industrial health

• Adapting language and strategies for blue-collar workers

• The lucrative potential of occupational health

• Navigating compliance and OSHA communication

• Building relationships with companies and proving ROI

 

Occupational health offers incredible opportunities for clinicians ready to step out of the box. As Thomas reminds us, it’s about making connections, fostering wellness, and transforming workplaces into healthier environments. If you’re burned out or looking for a new path, this field could be your next big move.

Why does dropping off business cards to doctors rarely lead to referrals?

How can you genuinely stand out in a "me-first" culture?

 

Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I’m David Bayliff, and today coming in hot and holiday spicy! We’re tackling why the old-school practice of dropping off business cards isn’t just outdated—it’s ineffective. Building genuine connections takes more than routine gestures in a culture obsessed with convenience and quick wins. Doctors are inundated with the same approach every day, so let’s reclaim the art of service and explore how to create relationships that truly matter.

 

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• Why dropping off business cards is a flawed strategy.

• How the “me-first” culture has impacted professional relationships.

• Practical ways to bring the art of serving back into your business approach.

• The importance of trust, value, and service in building relationships.

 

As we wrap up, here’s the lesson: Genuine relationships come from giving, not taking. By focusing on serving others, you not only differentiate yourself but also build trust and loyalty that lead to long-term success. So, the next time you think about handing out a business card, ask yourself—what am I doing to serve and provide value?

How do you turn disaster into an opportunity to serve and grow?

What role does creativity play in overcoming life’s toughest challenges?

 

Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I’m David Bayliff, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring you another impactful episode. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Charlotte Walters from Black Mountain, North Carolina. Charlotte has been part of the Uncaged family for over four years and runs a thriving practice, Mountain Wellness, serving outdoor enthusiasts. But her story goes far beyond her clinic. Today, we’ll dive into how she navigated the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene and turned a moment of crisis into an opportunity for community and service.

In the face of adversity, Charlotte found a way to support her neighbors. By launching a sponsored physical therapy initiative, she provided care to those injured in the cleanup efforts. This not only helped the community heal but also deepened their connection to her practice.

 

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• Building a community-focused practice and connecting with your audience.

• How disasters can uncover opportunities for service and creativity.

• The role of financial resources in supporting both your family and your community.

• Overcoming personal and professional challenges with resilience and adaptability.

 

Charlotte’s story is a powerful reminder that crises don’t define us—our response to them does. By leaning into creativity, community, and service, she turned a moment of immense challenge into one of growth and connection. Her journey shows that the small, intentional steps we take today can create a ripple effect of positive impact tomorrow.
