Have you ever felt stuck trying to explain the value of wellness in a clinical setting?

Want to know how to turn your clinical skills into a lifelong impact?

In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. Today, we're tackling the mindset around integrating wellness programs in clinical practice. Selling wellness can sometimes feel uncomfortable or even guilt-inducing. However, what if we shifted our view to see ourselves not just as clinicians, but as lifelong partners in our clients' health journeys? Many clinicians find it hard to align wellness initiatives with traditional billing and feel uneasy about long-term client retention. Let's explore how seeing ourselves as "health investment brokers" rather than just therapists could change our approach.

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

• The shift from clinical treatment to long-term wellness

• Overcoming the guilt associated with “selling” wellness programs

• How to communicate the life-changing value of wellness to clients

• Reframing your role as a “health investment broker”

As we wrap up, remember that embracing courage in this journey towards wellness can open new doors for you and your clients. By shifting your perspective, you’re not just providing therapy—you’re empowering people to lead healthier lives, building lasting relationships, and creating true, meaningful impact.

Have you ever held back from acting because things didn’t feel “perfect”?

What if courage, rather than action, was the key to moving forward?

In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I'm excited to explore the transformative concept of imperfect courage today. Have you ever held back because you didn’t feel ready? This episode is for you. It's about embracing the courage to act, even under less than ideal conditions. Often, we avoid taking action due to fear of judgment, failure, or not being perfect. What if true success is about having the courage to act despite these imperfections? Let's dive into how this mindset can unlock significant personal and professional growth.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• How perfectionism can lead to avoidance and limit growth

• Why courage matters more than “perfect action”

• Practical ways to practice courage in uncomfortable situations

• How imperfect courage can improve personal resilience and create opportunities

I want to wrap up by reminding you that courage—even if it’s imperfect—is essential for making real progress and building meaningful connections. When we choose courage over perfection, we open ourselves up to create deeper relationships, unlock new opportunities, and gain the confidence to tackle even bigger challenges ahead.

What does it take to successfully lead a mobile healthcare team? Have you ever considered the importance of fostering a strong team culture in your practice?

In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I’m excited to catch up with Dr. Mitch Straub, the owner of Vital Rehab in State College, PA. If you heard Mitch's first episode this summer, you already know he brings a unique mix of experience to the table, including a background in the food service industry that’s influenced his take on rehab.

Today, we’re diving into how his practice has evolved, along with the ups and downs of building a multidisciplinary mobile healthcare team. Mitch shares how he started Vital Rehab with a focus on active aging for older adults. After running a big inpatient rehab facility, he saw a need for a more personalized approach in his community. He started out solo, but after ten months, he brought in his first teammates—a physical therapist and an occupational therapist. This team approach has been a game-changer, especially when working with Medicare, boosting both patient care and revenue.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The journey of starting Vital Rehab

• The importance of a multidisciplinary approach

• Challenges in leading a mobile healthcare team

• Building a positive team culture

• Strategies for effective communication and connection

• The value of investing in your team

As we wrap up, remember that building a successful practice is all about creating a supportive environment for your team. Mitch’s insights remind us that investing in our staff not only enhances patient care but also fosters a thriving workplace. Tune in to gain practical guidance from Mitch's experiences, whether you're a solopreneur or looking to expand your team.

Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to balance client work and business management?

Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to set up your practice right from the start?

Welcome to another FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician podcast! Today's podcast is a quick, impactful segment geared to help you avoid common pitfalls in your practice. Today’s topic? The “busy” trap that sneaks up on so many new practice owners. From focusing too much on revenue to neglecting foundational processes, I’ll break down the habits and decisions that can make or break a successful practice.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The pitfalls of constantly chasing new business

• Why “busy” doesn’t always mean “successful”

• The importance of setting up systems from day one

• How to identify if you’re running a practice or just working a job

• Balancing revenue generation with business growth tasks

I encourage every clinician out there to take a step back and examine if you’re truly setting up a practice or just creating a busy job for yourselves. Because I believe that by establishing systems early on, practice owners can look forward to a more balanced, rewarding career that grows sustainably.

Are you struggling to align your team with your business values?

Ever wondered how shared values can influence the growth of your practice?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today we're exploring a critical component for any practice values. Values are the backbone of a thriving practice, crucial for aligning with your personal beliefs and organizational goals.

Inspired by Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage, we'll break down the four types of values essential for every practice and discuss how they influence team cohesion, long-term growth, and overall business success.

In this episode, i’ll delve into the following topics:

• The importance of core values and how they differ from other types of values

• How to create a team culture that reflects your permission to play values

• Understanding aspirational and accidental values within your organization

• Why value alignment is crucial for long-term success and growth

As we wrap up, I want to leave you with this: aligning values isn’t just about creating a cohesive team—it’s about building a practice that everyone truly believes in. That’s where the real magic happens. When your team shares the same core values, it doesn’t just help you run a business—it helps you build something meaningful, something bigger than yourself.
