You've hired people with perfect credentials. Amazing clinical skills. Stellar references. But somehow, they still don't quite fit. They clash with your vision, resist your systems, or just don't seem invested in what you're building. What went wrong?

In this episode from the Thriving Wellness Series, Kendall interviews Dr. Josh Satterlee, a Las Vegas chiropractor who's built everything from solo practices to a 12-provider clinic/gym hybrid over 17 years. Josh shares how his hiring philosophy evolved from seeking "cultural fit" to prioritizing "vision alignment"—a shift that transformed his ability to build engaged, cohesive teams.

As Josh explains, cultural fit can become problematic: "It can become exclusionary, it can become based on our own biases and our own subjective experience." Vision alignment, by contrast, focuses on shared goals and direction while leaving room for diverse perspectives and approaches.

Josh, founder of Trust Driven Care and a Wellness Center Creators Retreat sponsor, will be presenting on "Creating a Patient Experience that Builds Your Practice" at the 2026 retreat. His insights on hiring connect directly to his passion for patient communication and creating exceptional experiences—you can't deliver on your patient experience vision without team members who share it.

Whether you're hiring your first team member or your twelfth, Josh's framework offers a more strategic approach than gut instinct or credential-checking alone.

Listen to The Authority Plan Insider (https://theauthorityplan.com), a mini-series that will guide you through a simple system that will help you create a podcast that really delivers, that creates the impact that you want to make and lets you be in the driver's seat.

You know you need systems. Every business book tells you so. But every time you try to implement one, it either falls apart within weeks or creates more work than it solves. What's wrong with you? Nothing—the systems just weren't built for the kind of work you do.

In this episode from the Thriving Wellness Series, Anna tackles why wellness business owners feel overwhelmed by traditional systems advice. As she explains: "When people hear systems, they think of rigid structures, corporate tools, lot less humanity. And that creates the resistance. But systems, they're not supposed to replace the care and the humanity... they're meant to protect it."

Anna introduces the concept of "humane systems"—structures designed not for your best day, but for real life. "A humane system is one that works in real life... they have to be repeatable, they have to be simple and they have to be forgiving." She shares a painful personal story about a payroll system failure that taught her crucial lessons about designing systems with built-in adaptability.

The conversation covers the biggest mistakes wellness owners make (trying to fix everything at once, carrying everything personally) and why focus is more powerful than optimization. Anna's question reframes everything: "If one of my systems could improve by 20%, which one would change my life the most?"

If you've felt like systems just don't work for your practice, this episode reveals why—and what to do instead.

Listen to The Authority Plan Insider (https://theauthorityplan.com), a mini-series that will guide you through a simple system that will help you create a podcast that really delivers, that creates the impact that you want to make and lets you be in the driver's seat.

You've got multiple practitioners under one roof. But are you running a collaborative practice or just a collection of independent contractors who happen to share space? There's a difference—and it matters more than you think.

In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she tackles the question every multidisciplinary practice owner asks: How do I build a truly collaborative practice? As she emphasizes from the start: "Collaborative practices really start with the actual structure of the business as well as how you're showing up as a leader."

The foundation begins with two non-negotiables: an employee model (not independent contractors) and weekly team meetings. These aren't just administrative preferences—they're the infrastructure that makes collaboration possible. From there, Kendall introduces the "Four Ps" framework: People, Processes, Products/Services, and Positioning, showing how to weave collaboration into each element.

But structure alone isn't enough. As Kendall notes: "Collaboration takes vulnerability. We're asking our team members to build deep relationships with each other and to show up and share their expertise... So we as leaders also have to be vulnerable."

Whether you're starting a new practice or trying to transform your existing room rental model into something more cohesive, this episode provides the foundational principles for building a practice where practitioners actually work together—not just work alongside each other.
