Have you ever held back from acting because things didn’t feel “perfect”?

What if courage, rather than action, was the key to moving forward?

In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I'm excited to explore the transformative concept of imperfect courage today. Have you ever held back because you didn’t feel ready? This episode is for you. It's about embracing the courage to act, even under less than ideal conditions. Often, we avoid taking action due to fear of judgment, failure, or not being perfect. What if true success is about having the courage to act despite these imperfections? Let's dive into how this mindset can unlock significant personal and professional growth.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• How perfectionism can lead to avoidance and limit growth

• Why courage matters more than “perfect action”

• Practical ways to practice courage in uncomfortable situations

• How imperfect courage can improve personal resilience and create opportunities

I want to wrap up by reminding you that courage—even if it’s imperfect—is essential for making real progress and building meaningful connections. When we choose courage over perfection, we open ourselves up to create deeper relationships, unlock new opportunities, and gain the confidence to tackle even bigger challenges ahead.

Uncaged Hack: "Success doesn’t require perfection, but it does require courage."

What does it take to successfully lead a mobile healthcare team? Have you ever considered the importance of fostering a strong team culture in your practice?

In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I’m excited to catch up with Dr. Mitch Straub, the owner of Vital Rehab in State College, PA. If you heard Mitch's first episode this summer, you already know he brings a unique mix of experience to the table, including a background in the food service industry that’s influenced his take on rehab.

Today, we’re diving into how his practice has evolved, along with the ups and downs of building a multidisciplinary mobile healthcare team. Mitch shares how he started Vital Rehab with a focus on active aging for older adults. After running a big inpatient rehab facility, he saw a need for a more personalized approach in his community. He started out solo, but after ten months, he brought in his first teammates—a physical therapist and an occupational therapist. This team approach has been a game-changer, especially when working with Medicare, boosting both patient care and revenue.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The journey of starting Vital Rehab

• The importance of a multidisciplinary approach

• Challenges in leading a mobile healthcare team

• Building a positive team culture

• Strategies for effective communication and connection

• The value of investing in your team

As we wrap up, remember that building a successful practice is all about creating a supportive environment for your team. Mitch’s insights remind us that investing in our staff not only enhances patient care but also fosters a thriving workplace. Tune in to gain practical guidance from Mitch's experiences, whether you're a solopreneur or looking to expand your team.

Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to balance client work and business management?

Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to set up your practice right from the start?

Welcome to another FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician podcast! Today's podcast is a quick, impactful segment geared to help you avoid common pitfalls in your practice. Today’s topic? The “busy” trap that sneaks up on so many new practice owners. From focusing too much on revenue to neglecting foundational processes, I’ll break down the habits and decisions that can make or break a successful practice.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The pitfalls of constantly chasing new business

• Why “busy” doesn’t always mean “successful”

• The importance of setting up systems from day one

• How to identify if you’re running a practice or just working a job

• Balancing revenue generation with business growth tasks

I encourage every clinician out there to take a step back and examine if you’re truly setting up a practice or just creating a busy job for yourselves. Because I believe that by establishing systems early on, practice owners can look forward to a more balanced, rewarding career that grows sustainably.

Are you struggling to align your team with your business values?

Ever wondered how shared values can influence the growth of your practice?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today we're exploring a critical component for any practice values. Values are the backbone of a thriving practice, crucial for aligning with your personal beliefs and organizational goals.

Inspired by Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage, we'll break down the four types of values essential for every practice and discuss how they influence team cohesion, long-term growth, and overall business success.

In this episode, i’ll delve into the following topics:

• The importance of core values and how they differ from other types of values

• How to create a team culture that reflects your permission to play values

• Understanding aspirational and accidental values within your organization

• Why value alignment is crucial for long-term success and growth

As we wrap up, I want to leave you with this: aligning values isn’t just about creating a cohesive team—it’s about building a practice that everyone truly believes in. That’s where the real magic happens. When your team shares the same core values, it doesn’t just help you run a business—it helps you build something meaningful, something bigger than yourself.

Word-of-mouth marketing isn’t just a strategy; it’s a long-term investment in your relationships with clients. When you cultivate authentic connections, your clients become your best advocates. So, next time you think about how to grow your practice, remember—it all starts with a story. What are your clients saying about you?

Are you ready to discover what sets successful people apart?

Have you ever wondered what traits make someone stand out in their field?

Welcome to another FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and in today’s episode, we’re tackling something big—what truly sets successful people apart. Recently, while hanging out with two of my best friends from physical therapy school, I realized something: these guys have been wildly successful, and they share a few common traits. That got me thinking—what do these traits look like, and how can we all adopt them? Spoiler alert: it’s all about communication, confidence, and humility. So buckle in, and let’s break this down.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The power of effective communication for success

• How confidence, when paired with humility, fosters genuine connections

• The role humility plays in team success and leadership

• Why asking questions and listening are key to growth

At the heart of it, success isn’t about knowing it all or being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about communicating purposefully, showing confidence without ego, and remaining humble enough to recognize the value others bring. Remember, these are not traits people are born with—they’re skills you can learn and develop. So go out there, start practicing, and watch your success unfold.

Have you thought about your long-term vision for your practice, and what will happen when you’re ready to step away?

What’s more important to you: the highest offer, or ensuring your practice’s mission stays intact?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician podcast! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into something every clinician running a cash-based practice should be thinking about—exit strategies. We’re going to explore the challenges cash practice owners face when it comes to selling, including why many of us feel a deep sense of responsibility to make sure our business doesn’t lose its soul in the process.

In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

• The common challenges of selling a cash-based practice.

• Why private equity may not be the best fit for your business.

• The importance of maintaining your practice’s mission, vision, and values during the sale.

• Three potential exit strategies and their implications for you and your team.

• How to empower clinicians within your practice to take ownership.

As we wrap up this episode, remember, the legacy of your practice isn’t just about the financials—it’s about maintaining the heart and soul of what you’ve built. Whether you're thinking of selling tomorrow or 10 years from now, having a clear exit strategy ensures that your mission continues, and your practice lives on with the same values you instilled in it from day one.
