Recorded in front of a live audience in Las Vegas, this episode of The Chiro Factor brings Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut together with three guests whose careers were shaped by Cal Jam.
Dr. Ben Martin, president of the Chiropractic Association of Ireland, talks about flying in from Europe for Cal Jam, why “suffering comes from attachment,” and how dropping pay-per-visit helped double his practice in 18 months. Dr. Ryan Carlson, Dr. Glow’s former associate, explains how going to Cal Jam as a student changed his path and how following a proven “recipe” led him to collect over $1M in his first 12 months in Bentonville, Arkansas. Then Cal Jam creator Dr. Billy DeMoss joins to talk about the event’s legacy, his upcoming book Sex, Drugs, and Chiropractic, surfing with Kelly Slater, and whether Cal Jam is coming back.
