Lacey and Colten Nevel to share how they went from chiropractic students with a vision to running a values-driven, family-centered business. They talk about the real behind-the-scenes of...

How Systematized Patient Experiences Drive Clinic Growth Most clinics don’t struggle because they need more patients. They struggle because their patient experience isn’t systematized.

Vision Casting for 2026: How We’re Building Sustainable Growth Through Systems and Community Most people approach a new year by asking, “What more should I do?” We’ve learned the better question is, “What actually deserves to come with me?” As we started having real conversations about 2026, it became clear that growth does not come from stacking more goals, strategies, or pressure. It comes from...

For a long time, we thought marketing had to feel loud and exhausting to work. Posting constantly. Chasing trends. Feeling like if we stepped away for a second, everything would slow down. And honestly, that kind of marketing just wasn’t sustainable for us. In this episode, we’re sitting down as husband and wife to talk about one of the systems that has quietly supported our practice behind the sc...

For the longest time, our chiropractic clinic ran completely on us. Every follow-up. Every DM. Every new lead. If we stopped, everything stopped.   In this episode, we break down the exact marketing engine we use today.

We just got back from the Wealthy Practitioner Expander’s Retreat, and honestly… this one hit different.   Not because we learned a new marketing hack or another productivity framework. But because it forced us to look in the mirror and ask bigger, harder questions—about who we are, what we’re chasing, and how much room we’re actually allowing ourselves to grow.   In this episode, we’re unpacking:...

Hiring doesn’t have to be scary — it just has to be smart.

They’re sharing their real-life mistakes, lessons learned, and the systems that turned their...

This week, we’re lovingly calling you out — because if we can’t tell who you are, what it feels like to work with you, or why you’re different… your ideal client definitely can’t either.   In this episode, we dig into one of the biggest emotional blind spots in modern marketing: the lack of transparency and personality online. You’ll hear us unpack why showing your face, your space, and your story...

Most businesses think paid ads are the key to growth — but we’re here to tell you, ads don’t fix broken systems. They only magnify what’s already working. We grew Verve to over $70,000 a month before ever spending a single dollar on ads. No agency. No massive ad budget. Just systems, storytelling, and a whole lot of intention behind how we showed up online and in our community. In this episode, we...
