Have you ever caught yourself cutting corners, even when you knew it might hold you back in the long run?

What would your life look like if your actions perfectly aligned with your values?

Welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and today’s episode is extra special, it’s our 400th episode. To celebrate, I brought back a good friend of the show, Jake Thompson, the CEO and founder of Compete Every Day. If you don’t know Jake yet, you’re in for a treat. He’s gone from selling t-shirts out of his car to becoming a sought-after keynote speaker, author, and performance coach who helps people stay accountable and live out their values.

In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you:

• Jake’s journey from selling t-shirts to building Compete Every Day

• The dangers of cutting corners and how accountability builds character

• Why enjoying the process matters more than obsessing over the outcome

• The “values-action gap” and how to close it

• Overcoming ego, imposter syndrome, and unhealthy comparison

• Lessons from Jake’s upcoming books and how they apply to your life

At the end of the day, this episode is about clarity, accountability, and growth. Jake reminds us that entrepreneurship and, honestly, life itself is the greatest self-development project we’ll ever take on. The biggest takeaway? Get super clear on your values, align your actions with them, and stop comparing your path to someone else’s.

Your success is our success, let’s build it together!

Have you ever felt like you’re giving everything to your career but losing yourself in the process?

What if the key to real growth wasn’t a giant leap, but one small step at a time?

Welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I’m your host, David Bayliff talks with PT Dr. Troy Goetsch (Lincoln, NE) about stepping off the “busy” treadmill, the family moments that sparked a reset, and how he’s building a practice that fits his life without pretending he has it all figured out. If you’re stuck between exhaustion and your next step, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you:

• How Troy recognized he was chasing “moving goalposts”

• The family conversation that shifted everything

• Why understanding your “why” changes the game

• Overcoming fear and imposter syndrome

• The importance of accountability and guidance

• Why imperfect action beats waiting for the “perfect” moment

At the end of the day, Troy’s story is a reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being for success. Growth comes from knowing yourself, investing in yourself, and taking action even if it’s imperfect. If you’ve been on the fence about making a change in your career or life, this episode is the nudge you’ve been waiting for.

Your success is our success, let’s build it together!

Have you ever looked at someone’s “overnight success” and thought, Man...how did they do that so fast? What if I told you that those “overnight” wins are really years in the making?

Welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast with me, David Bayliff! I can hardly believe we’re closing in on our 400th episode, seven years of conversations, growth, and showing up with you each week. That’s a milestone I couldn’t have imagined when this all started. Today, I’m diving into a topic that hits home for every entrepreneur and clinician out there: the myth of overnight success.

We live in a world that glorifies speed. Social media makes it look like people just “blow up” overnight. But the truth? Every breakthrough moment usually sits on the foundation of years of sweat, sacrifice, and persistence. I’ve lived this myself, late nights, early mornings, countless “no’s” before the “yes.”

Here’s what we’ll dive into in this episode:

• Why “overnight success” is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves

• The role of consistency, resilience, and imperfect action in achieving results

• How to embrace the long game of entrepreneurship

• Why small wins matter more than you think

• The discipline and patience required to truly succeed

Here’s the big takeaway: success isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. Every late night, every sacrifice, every step forward (even the messy ones) are all part of the story. If you can embrace consistency and stay patient, you’ll look back one day and realize your “overnight success” was years in the making. Thanks for hanging out with me today, and as always, go out there and make it a great day!
