Have you ever asked yourself why your clinic really exists—beyond just paying the bills?

What makes your practice necessary in your community, and not just another option?

Hey hey, welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast—David Bayliff here!

Glad you're joining me today. We're talking about something a lot of new practice owners miss: your extrinsic why.

I’ve got a great guest with me—Sharon Wisnewski, our accountability coach in the Launchpad program and a former physical therapist. Sharon’s all about helping clinicians get clear on their purpose.

She shares her story of starting Healing Hands to serve her local CrossFit community—not just treating injuries, but meeting a real need and building something with meaning.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• What your extrinsic why is, and why it matters

• How to identify gaps in your community that your practice can fill

• Why “being great at what you do” isn’t enough

• The role of real relationships in business growth

• How to reflect and define your practice’s purpose

And before we wrap, we’ll go through a few powerful questions that’ll help you define your own external why—so your clinic isn’t just another business, but a needed presence in your community. This one’s full of straight talk and real insight. If you take nothing else away, let it be this: you’ve got to know why your business deserves to exist—not just for you, but for the people you’re called to serve.

Uncaged Hack: “You need to figure out why your practice has to exist in the community.”

—Sharon Wisnewski

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own business, despite knowing you're capable?

What if the only thing standing between you and success is your belief in yourself?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today, we’re tackling a common challenge for entrepreneurs—self-doubt. We all hear that nagging voice asking, “What if I fail?” or “Am I good enough?” I've faced these doubts myself, and in this episode, I'll share strategies for overcoming them and taking charge of your success. This discussion is crucial, whether you're starting out or well into your entrepreneurial journey.

Let's face it—confidence can be a facade. Many of us appear sure of ourselves while grappling with fear and insecurity behind the scenes. I’ve been there, feeling like a fraud even as I projected confidence. But remember, those negative thoughts only define us if we allow them to.

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

• The illusion of confidence and why even successful people struggle with self-doubt

• How self-fulfilling prophecies can sabotage your business

• The hidden cost of fearing failure more than embracing success

• Why some people would rather fail and be "right" than take a risk and win

• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who see your potential

Self-doubt isn’t the enemy—it’s a challenge to overcome. Your success isn’t about eliminating fear but proving that fear wrong. So, take a step forward. Acknowledge your doubts, but don’t let them dictate your path. You are capable of more than you think, and it’s time to show the world what you’re made of.

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing every decision in your business?

What if the key to growth isn’t more strategy, but more self-trust?

Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and today I'm joined by my fantastic teammate, Hannah DeGroot. We're tackling a topic every entrepreneur grapples with: self-trust. Building a business is tough, especially with the added weight of self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to always make the right decisions. This chat is sure to resonate with many.

Self-trust is essential—it's at the core of leadership and making decisions. Hannah and I explore the often quiet origins of self-doubt, from childhood influences to past criticisms, and the common fear of making mistakes. Join us as we discuss the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

• Why self-trust is the foundation of entrepreneurship

• How childhood and external influences shape our ability to trust ourselves

• The sneaky role perfectionism and comparison play in our self-doubt

• Simple, actionable strategies to start rebuilding self-trust

• Why small wins matter more than you think

• How to bounce back from mistakes and grow forward

As we wrap up this powerful episode, I hope you’re reminded that trusting yourself is a process, not a destination. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow. Whether you're just starting your business or have years in, self-trust is your greatest asset. We’re rooting for you.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to grow your practice without losing the personal touch?

What if scaling your business meant strengthening your key strengths instead of watering them down?

Welcome back to another episode of Uncaged Clinician! I'm Kevin DeGroot, and today we’re tackling a big challenge that so many healthcare practitioners face — how to grow your business without losing the quality and personal touch that made it successful in the first place.

• Identifying your key differentiators

• Scaling without sacrificing quality and outcomes

• Overcoming the hiring and training challenge

• Why leadership development is crucial to sustainable growth

Are you trusting your gut enough in leadership?

Are you overthinking decisions and getting stuck in analysis paralysis?

Welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, David Bayliff here! Ever found yourself paralyzed by decision-making? You’re not alone. Today, we wrap up our series on mastering key leadership decision-making skills. We’ll cut through the noise and simplify the process to make quicker, more assured choices.

Making decisions is tough, especially when balancing data, emotions, and the fear of making mistakes. The best leaders know how to trust both data and their intuition. By blending these elements, you enhance your decision-making speed and confidence, setting the stage for effective action.

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

• How to balance data and gut instinct when making decisions

• The power of pre-deciding to avoid decision fatigue

• Overcoming emotional biases that cloud judgment

• Why imperfect action is better than perfect inaction

• How to align decisions with your core values for long-term success

At the end of the day, great leaders trust both their head and their heart. By balancing data with gut instinct, embracing imperfect action, and pre-deciding to avoid decision fatigue, you’ll make decisions faster and more effectively. Remember, “Full commitment to a decent plan is better than minimal commitment to a strong plan.” Now go out there and start leading with confidence!

Uncaged Hack: "Imperfect action beats perfect inaction every single time."
