The Chiropractic Trust

Welcome to Episode 19 with Alanna Ogan..  She is the founder and owner of Active Family Chiropractic, From her website. "Dr. Alanna Ogan came to Sioux Falls in February 2010, after practicing in St. Paul, MN for several years. Originally from Watertown, she wanted to get back to South Dakota and closer to her family while opening Active Family Chiropractic. Dr. Alanna’s big goal is to impact as many lives as possible through chiropractic, by making the community better and helping people live to 100% of their potential. Imagine what it would be like to live in Sioux Falls if everyone here functioned at 100%! When you stop by the office, you may also run into Atlas the Wonderdog.  He does his best to greet everyone that walks through the door (and yes, Atlas is subluxation-free, too!). During Dr. Alanna’s time in Sioux Falls, God has blessed Active Family Chiropractic with wonderful families that want to live life subluxation-free. He also dropped Alanna’s husband, Brandon, into her life. The two met when Brandon bought the house across the street from her. Brandon then married “the girl next door!” They have now built a home together and are looking forward to many more years together using their skills to serve the people in the Sioux Falls area."

Since the inception of this podcast I am frequently asked questions about starting a nontherapeutic Chiropractic practice.  These come from both new practitioners starting from scratch or folks interested in transitioning their practice into the nontherapeutic model of Chiropractic.  I have been looking for someone who is just starting out to share their experience, and this person stopped by my office a few months ago.  Alex Rubin is doing exactly that.  He started his practice from scratch about three months ago and by all measures is off to a great start.  He is already profitable and thriving in only his first quarter of solo practice. In this unique episode we chat with Alex about his practice and taking it from point zero to his first 50 memberships.  He also chats about his plans for the next 50 and we even get a special chat with his sister who shares her experience of helping people and talking about Chiropractic to the people she meets.  We all had a great chat, and I hope you enjoy it as well.  Please share this with people you may know who need to hear it.

Eddy Robinson is phenomenal.  He is the epitome of hard work and perseverance, with the confidence to live his life being faithful to his personality.    If you are in your practice (and your life) and it does not feel like you are being authentic to who you are, then have a listen to Eddy.   Eddy started this practice only a few short years ago and he candidly shares how he has built it from zero into a thriving happy place for his community.  He shares his story about how he realized that a nontherapeutic Chiropractic practice was the right path for him.  Lastly, I must say that Eddy gave the BEST answer I have heard in this series as to who has been the greatest influence in his life!  I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

What does it look like when the light bulb goes on?  Everyone who practices in the nontherapeutic model has their own light bulb moment.  For Trent Scheidecker the moment was a catalyst which lead to his very successful practice and manifested a vision of a franchise model of nontherapeutic Chiropractic offices.  Trent is a big vision person and a big action person.  It was a pleasure to catch up.  Trent also has his own podcast called: Today's tic.  You can check it out and subscribe here:   https://trentscheidecker.com/todaystic/

I love Tyler White, there I said it.  When we are attending the same seminar we often find ourselves hanging out at breaks talking about Chiropractic, families, and life.  He is a great guy who is one of those folks who always gives you a calming sense and also the feeling that he has spent a lot of time on Chiropractic and what it is to run a nontherapeutic Chiropractic office.  I hope you enjoy a visit to New Jersey with Tyler White.  Like, subscribe, share, blah blah blah.

A great chat with Jim Healey.  Jim has been around a long time and is a wealth of knowledge.  A quick plug for the upcoming seminar being put on by  the Garden State Chiropractic Society in NJ on October 19th, 2019.  If you want to learn more about a nontherapeutic type of Chiropractic office, it should prove to be a great day of learning and discussion.  Register here: https://www.gardenstatechiropractic.org/ifyoubelieveregistration

We get a lot of questions in the email (for future questions email me at [email protected]) on starting a practice so our 2nd board member Q & A is on starting a new nontherapeutic Chiropractic practice.  My board member guests are Scott Timpanelli from Greenville, SC and Chiropractor Howie from Mississippi.  We quickly realized that this should be more than one episode so this show focuses more on mindset for starting a practice vs. a discussion on a lot of nuts and bolts (like fees, location, etc).  We'll do that one at a later date.  This was recorded late at night, and I was energized by the spunk that these two still had so late in the evening which was after a busy day checking folks. To have your question featured on a future episode email me at [email protected]  Enjoy the show!

From the great state of Michigan we have Todd Galley as our guest in this week's episode.  I had a fun talk with Todd about his practice, having a home office, a BOTW office and the mindset of a nontherapeutic Chiropractor.  I feel like Todd marries a loving heart with a no nonsense approach perfectly.  I hope you enjoy our chat.  Please share this podcast with your friends and hit the subscribe button to get the future updates.

Success leaves clues.   Judy Campanale has a long and distinguished resume in her Chiropractic career.  We have a great conversation about her working together with Joe Strauss for many years and her seemingly never ending energy to engage in being involved in Chiropractic on a organizational level.  I was thoroughly impressed by Judy's ability to see everything in a positive constructive light and I have thought about it often since this interview.  Enjoy. PS:  Sorry for the delay since the last episode.  I am hoping to pick up the pace going forward.

It was great to catch up with Bradley and to see how he has grown his practice over the last few years.  I was surprised and excited to hear him talk about what he has done to market his practice.  I learned a lot and I hope you do too.   Also, please enjoy our first ever show "sponsor" commercial.  We are happy to endorse this sponsor and hope you work with them daily.
