Jerry has a confession to make. Years ago, he looked down on chiropractors with small practices, including his own best friend from chiropractic college, who started a micro practice out of financial necessity. Jerry felt sorry for him. He was wrong, and this episode is his honest attempt to make it right.

This is one of the most personal episodes Jerry has recorded. He walks through the false beliefs he absorbed from practice management culture, that a small practice isn't a real practice, that it can't be profitable, that significance requires scale, and dismantles each one using real stories from his own life. He talks about a wealthy farmer patient whose modest appearance hid real wealth, a friend with a massive practice whose take-home pay was nearly identical to his own once overhead was factored in, and the tombstone exercise a friend once had him do that reshaped how he thinks about legacy entirely.

The episode also includes a deeply personal reflection on Jerry's father, who passed away eleven years ago, and what his father's quiet, high-character life taught him about what significance actually means. It's an emotional, honest, and genuinely encouraging episode for anyone running or considering a small or micro chiropractic practice, and a challenge to anyone who has internalized the idea that bigger is automatically better.
