How Does Compassion Prevent Burnout and Improve Business Growth? Dr. Larry Arbeitman Shares This Surefire Way To Improve Your Practice 09/10/2026

How Does Compassion Prevent Burnout and Improve Business Growth? Dr. Larry Arbeitman Shares This Surefire Way To Improve Your Practice Have you ever met someone who just hits you with their heart as soon as you meet them? The way they speak and how they present themselves just exudes love for what they do, and for what they want to see more of in the world, and you can't help but be really moved by what they have to say? This was my experience with Dr. Larry Arbeitman, and I think you'll catch it too when you listen to this conversation. Larry has built an incredible practice but he was oberving a phenomenon he now calls the "compassion crisis", that more and more people are feeling lack of connection with their health care providers and it's leading to poor results, low trust, and even worse, apathy with many Doctors. Leaning on his experience from 21 years in business, having 18 associates, being married to a therapist, and really, just consistently focusing on making his practice about the patient and not about him, he's developed a deep understanding of fostering greater connection in his practice, and his success shows. You'll hear some of his greatest lessons, how he's recovered from injuries and his own challenges, and why he believes all Doctors need to start their careers with taking care of their own emotional health so they can effectively care for others.

The One Question Every Chiropractor Should Ask Themselves | Dr. Matt Sherson On Teaching, Avoiding Burnout & Meeting People Where They're At 06/25/2026

The One Question Every Chiropractor Should Ask Themselves | Dr. Matt Sherson On Teaching, Avoiding Burnout & Meeting People Where They're At Apparently, New Zealanders have it in their core to just “make things happen” and during my conversation with Dr. Matt Sherson at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, I certainly understood this to be true by the way he has orchestrated his career. As head of the technique department at the college, he’s had the opportunity to guide students for years, but what came up the most during our conversation was the importance of knowing yourself, and why self-awareness really should be the foundation for the type of life in business that you build. Matt talks about his experiences getting close to burnout, what types of questions he believes we should be asking ourselves to really find meaning and joy in the work that we are doing, and how we often get in our own way by limiting ourselves with our beliefs. We also discussed what’s happening in the schools these days, different techniques, research, and some of the myths of teaching, but consistently our conversation came back to being yourself and building a life that really is aligned with who you are - very much the ethos of a Rockstar Doctor Life.

Is Your Practice Affecting Your Intimate Relationships? Dr. Lee Baucom On 3 Common Problems & How To Fix Them 06/18/2026

Is Your Practice Affecting Your Intimate Relationships? Dr. Lee Baucom On 3 Common Problems & How To Fix Them Most Chiropractors give a lot to their patients, and it’s not just the physical hands-on care I’m referring to. There’s emotional support, clinical guidance and relationship building that’s an ongoing part of every successful practice. My question for marriage and relationship coach Dr. Lee Baucom was - “How does all that outpouring of energy throughout a workday affect our personal relationships?” Turns out there are some consistent marital issues he sees quite a bit in his work with health care professionals, and he dives into some of the top problems in this conversation. Some of them surprised me, like why he believes date nights can sometimes create more problems instead of increasing connection. We also talked about why so many Doctors deal with anxiety and mental exhaustion, how to work through your imposter feelings, and why ultimately practitioners need to prioritize their health to best help others.
