Most chiropractors are the engine, battery, and exhaust of their practice—and that's exactly why they're stuck. Discover how Dr. Stephen Franson built a 1,000-visit-per-week practice while winter surfing in New Hampshire, and the exact systems he used to stop being the bottleneck.

Dr. Stephen Franson is known in the chiropractic profession as "the systems guy." He's built multiple successful practices, trained over 40 associate doctors, and now helps chiropractors worldwide build what he calls "The Remarkable Practice"—a business that runs without you being the bottleneck.

In this episode, Stephen breaks down the four seasons of a chiropractic career (launch, build, scale, exit) and why most doctors get stuck in the "build" phase because they never make the identity shift from practitioner to CEO. He walks through his accountability grid framework that gets your entire team to own their numbers, why high data environments create low drama (and vice versa), and the specific metrics every team member needs to track to think like a seven-figure practice owner.

We also dive into why chiropractors are allergic to data (even though it's the key to freedom), how to operationalize, professionalize, and optimize your practice, and why investing in your business beats diversification every time. If you're carrying the entire business in your head and your team is busy but you're not seeing real progress, this conversation will give you the roadmap to break through that ceiling.
