What if the biggest gap in the profession right now isn’t knowledge, but participation? Dr. Lona and Dr. Gilles Lamarche talk through what it means to contribute at a higher level, both inside your own practice and across the profession. The conversation starts with leadership and advocacy, then shifts into a personal story that brings the message into focus. Through that experience, a different standard emerges around consistency, personal responsibility, and living the same care that is recommended to patients. The result is a clear challenge—growth in the profession starts with alignment between what is said, what is done, and how consistently it is lived out.

35:39 – Dr. Chris sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius of Success Partner Waitlist Workshops to explore how practices can consistently attract the right patients by leading with education, not promotion. They break down how a proven workshop system fills rooms with high-intent patients, builds trust before the first visit, and positions doctors as specialists in solving complex, meaningful health challenges. When marketing aligns with purpose and communication builds certainty, practices don’t just grow, they attract the patients they were meant to serve.
