Welcome to episode 45 of the Cultivating Success podcast!

In today’s episode, we are joined by recent graduate Dr. Luca O’Brien all the way from Barcelona! Together with Dr. Bremner, he reflects on his time at Palmer and how his passion for NUCCA Upper Cervical care has translated into real-world practice. Throughout the episode, they discuss the “unteachable moments” that only come through experience. They explore the challenge of treating root causes rather than just symptoms, and the importance of not overselling care, letting patients know that real results take time. Dr. O’Brien shares surprising lessons he has learned around managing patient care and the learning curve of gaining consistent patients and the need to build trust and communication with them.

He contrasts practicing in the U.S. vs abroad and highlights the differences in insurance and costs of care, patient mindset, and the newness of chiropractic in some regions. They also touch on adapting to different environments, simplifying language to avoid confusing patients with chiropractic lexicon, and navigating practical aspects like overhead costs and marketing strategies to help yourself succeed in the real world. This is an episode you don’t want to miss! Thanks for listening!

Which comes first — happiness or success? In today’s episode, Dr. Bremner and Dr. Jobarah dig into the concept of laziness — but not in the way you might expect. They unpack three surprising types of laziness: procrastination, distraction, and self-doubt, and explore how these show up in our efficiency, mindset, and even the way we design and live our lives.

They also dive into why prioritizing happiness before success might just be the key to lasting success — and how the people you surround yourself with play a major role in that equation.

The episode wraps with practical, doable shifts you can start making today to support a calmer, more fulfilling life — whether that’s reconnecting with nature, breaking your doom-scrolling habit, or simply being more mindful.
