Recap
Most chiropractors didn’t get into practice to build real wealth – but that mindset might be exactly what’s holding you back.
Dr. Stephen sits down with wealth strategist and longtime friend Garrett Gunderson to unpack the limiting beliefs around money that keep chiropractors from creating prosperity. From misbeliefs about scarcity and guilt to practical ways to improve your bottom line, this is a masterclass in shifting from financial survival to freedom. Garrett breaks down his money Personas, explains why “money follows value,” and challenges CEOs to stop playing not to lose and start building teams that win together.
Walk away with new tools to think differently about growth, build real wealth through your business, and become the kind of CEO who’s financially fit, independent, and free.

- Learn the 4-step value framework that fuels wealth creation
- Discover the winning and losing money Personas—and which one you are
- Shift from scarcity thinking to co-creation and collaboration
- Spot the financial mistakes holding back your profitability
- Understand how to reinvest in your team for exponential returns
