The Golden Cabinet Podcast

Michelle is back to talk Instagram for acupuncturists! If you like this platform personally, then it is a great idea to use it to promote your practice/clinic, and if you plan on doing so, then Michelle has some great advice on how to do it!

As a practitioner that has specialized exclusively in the treatment of fertility and reproductive health conditions since 2004, I am excited about the Tung points that Brad presented and will definitely be utilizing some of them in my practice moving forward. I appreciated how he expressed that this is not an alternative to my usual 'TCM' points, but additions that should be experimented with to see which work for me and my patients. I think it is a must for anyone focusing on the treatment of fertility to expand their knowledge, at least on a basic level, into what Master Tung has to offer our patients, and Brad lays it out quickly and simply. The accompanying PDF by itself is worth the price you pay for this course. And most of all, thank you Brad, for gifting me with the very best point on the body to reduce stress, improve sleep, and relieve pain!  ~~O   Spence Pentland founder of Yinstill Reproductive Wellness, author of Being Fertile, and creator of The Being Fertile Program (BFP+)   Email [email protected] Website https://bradwhisnant.com/

Interview with Oliver Bridge, one of the founding members of Bonjoro! In this special edition podcast episode, Oli and I go through the functions of Bonjoro and how it can help deliver amazing value and deep connection to your patients and set you apart from your competitors. I guarantee that both you and your patients will LOVE it!!! Simply put, Bonjoro is video email, perfected, easy to use, and extremely affordable. I send them out to all my new patients that come to the clinic. If they are not my patients (they are patients of my associates) then I like to touch base as the founder, welcome them to the clinic, and let them know we are all here to support them however we can.  If they are my patients, I use it to touch base a couple days after the initial appointment (after I have sent them their individualized treatment plan) to check in, encourage them to reply and ask any further questions they might have, and just generally show them that I am close by when needed. It is SUPER easy to use and comes at a SUPER affordable monthly cost.  Bonjoro is a no-brainer if you are looking for a new fun effective marketing tool for your clinic. It is an amazing tool that is getting amazing feedback.  The way of the future, I am positive. ~  Spence Check out their website now... http://bonjoro.com

Interview with Dr Dominic Stape I really felt like Dominic and I are on many similar pages when it comes to practice and business growth.

Dominic has created 2 successful clinics and is ready to share his wisdom.

Katie is optimistic, always smiling, & has lots of practical knowledge to help you grow and run your practice. I really love her energy and passion for helping other acupuncturists manifest the practice they desire - in her words; 'It doesn't have to be so hard'. Great words for those currently struggling and feeling overwhelmed by the business side of things. She has created AcuProsper which is such a great resource, and she has generously shared much of her pearls of wisdom here, in this podcast.

What Yaron teaches during this podcast speaks right to my heart personally, as he embodies the way I approach my clinical practice - Heart led, focused on contribution.  He has been practicing for almost 25 years now and has some key messages for how he feels our medicine should be moving forward.  Thank you so much Yaron, this is a must watch / listen.  ~Spence To receive $100 off Hunyuan registration click the provided link on the podcast page - https://thegoldencabinet.ca/hunyuan-medicine-the-secret-to-success-the-essential-self-reflection-question-would-you-do-that-to-your-child/ Email [email protected] Website https://www.hunyuanacademy.com Professional Profile Licensed acupuncture CT 1998 TCM course Auckland New Zealand 1991-92 Chinese Classical literature 1993-95 Freiburg university, Germany Tongji medical university Wuhan china 1996 Guangxi TCM university 1998 Five Branches University DAOM 2007-8 or 2006-7 Professional Achievements Hunyuan Medicine since 2002 Hunyuan Research Institute 2010 Hunyuan Academy 2018 Author: hunyuan Fertility , curing infertility , Chinese medicine liberation , hunyuan xinfa , hunyuan foundations Associate in Research Harvard University since 2013 Professional Experience Seminars around the world Taiji Quan , qigong , internal arts since 1989 Huai Xuan advocate Founder: hunyuan: body heart and medicine

I LOVED this interview. Jimmy is straight and to the point, a data driven point to be exact! He doesn't sugar-coat the fact that he feels everything regarding your practice (business and clinical) should be measured, as if it can't be measured, it can't grow. Yup, to Jimmy it is that simple. This is a great podcast that I KNOW will benefit many from a very practical standpoint.

This is a great in depth interview with Sandro Graca. This guy is super relatable and liable, driven and successful, authentic and real. He is so willing to share his experiences, thoughts, ideas, and feelings about his career in TCM and acupuncture, and give any pearls he can so those listening can learn.  His overarching message is "...just dive in and start doing what needs to get done, be ok with making mistake - but make sure you learn from them, and then keep dong what needs to get done. It takes 20 years to become an overnight success!" This is well worth the listen, and you surely will want to get to know Sandro after watching.  ~ Spence https://thegoldencabinet.ca Email [email protected] Website http://www.acuvlog.ie Professional Profile Licentiate in TCM (2007 - Irish College of TCM) Cert.
