    In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host Kevin DeGroot delves into the importance of fluency in business communications and effective employee training.

  • Think of your business as a big mass in motion. Is it keeping the momentum? Or, is it slowly losing its steam?

    In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host Kevin DeGroot. Kevin shares his personal journey and frustrations with existing business and personal development models, leading to the creation of the Uncaged Momentum Model. This model focuses on seven foundational pillars: mission, vehicle, organizational health, delivery quality, internal communication, external communication, and rest/recovery. Kevin explains how addressing these aspects on a daily and every-seven-week basis can help create a sustainable and healthy business practice.

    Kevin will touch on topics such as:

    The frustration that the Uncaged Momentum Model was borne out of. Implementing the 5 Fs - Faith, Fitness, Finance, Family, and Fulfillment. 7 essential things that every business owner should focus on. Understanding the objective and subjective measurements you should use to determine whether your business is doing well. The value of ensuring clarity in communication within your organization and among team members. These are questions every business owner should ask themselves on a week-to-week basis. Properly communicating your practice’s mission, vision, and values. Building businesses that are healthy, sustainable, and built on principles.

    Uncaged Hack: "Remember to focus on the things that matter most so that we don't get distracted by shiny objects or by things that are going to take our attention and just drag us into that wormhole."

  • Are your practice’s values guiding you toward fulfillment, or are they holding you back?


    What would happen if your business truly reflected the values that matter most to you?

    Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I’m David Bayliff, thrilled to have you with us. Today, I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot, our lead personal development coach, to discuss the transformative impact of core values in practice management. Drawing on insights from my business partner, Kevin DeGroot, we'll share strategies for aligning your practice with values that enhance purpose, culture, and fulfillment.


    We'll focus on differentiating “core values” from “permission to play” values. Hannah will explain how aspirational and accidental values can either promote growth or act as barriers. Our aim? To develop a set of core values that authentically represents your practice’s unique identity.


    In this episode, we’ll cover:

    The four types of values every practice owner should know

    How to identify and implement core values that align with your purpose

    The role of values in attracting ideal clients and building a strong team

    Strategies for transitioning from solo practice to effective team leadership

    Practical steps to reignite passion and purpose in your work

    As we wrap up, remember this: defining your core values isn’t just about setting guidelines—it’s about creating a practice that reflects who you are and what you stand for. When your business embodies its values, you’ll not only attract the right clients and team members but also find greater fulfillment in your work. Let your values guide you to build a practice that’s both successful and inspiring.

    Uncaged Hack:“If you're feeling a lack of passion or you're feeling uninspired or unfulfilled, go back to your values because it can give you that sense of purpose and inspiration that you might be missing.”
    —Hannah DeGroot

  • Are you curious about how occupational health can revolutionize workplaces?


    What role do physical therapists play in transforming employee well-being on an industrial scale?

    Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I’m David Bayliff, excited for today's episode with Thomas Sullivan, co-founder of Discover Physical Therapy. We're exploring the niche of industrial and occupational health, where Thomas has helped physical therapists thrive in workplace settings, particularly with blue-collar workers.


    Today, we'll discuss how occupational health transcends injury treatment to include prevention, workforce understanding, and workplace culture transformation. Thomas will share his transition from traditional PT to this sector, navigating challenges such as OSHA regulations and demonstrating ROI. He’ll also detail his three-tiered approach that enhances workplace health beyond just managing injuries.


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

    The transition from traditional PT to industrial health

    Adapting language and strategies for blue-collar workers

    The lucrative potential of occupational health

    Navigating compliance and OSHA communication

    Building relationships with companies and proving ROI

    Occupational health offers incredible opportunities for clinicians ready to step out of the box. As Thomas reminds us, it’s about making connections, fostering wellness, and transforming workplaces into healthier environments. If you’re burned out or looking for a new path, this field could be your next big move.

    Uncaged Hack: “You have to be able to talk to them on their level and get to know them.”

  • Why does dropping off business cards to doctors rarely lead to referrals?


    How can you genuinely stand out in a "me-first" culture?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I’m David Bayliff, and today coming in hot and holiday spicy! We’re tackling why the old-school practice of dropping off business cards isn’t just outdated—it’s ineffective. Building genuine connections takes more than routine gestures in a culture obsessed with convenience and quick wins. Doctors are inundated with the same approach every day, so let’s reclaim the art of service and explore how to create relationships that truly matter.

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

    Why dropping off business cards is a flawed strategy.

    How the “me-first” culture has impacted professional relationships.

    Practical ways to bring the art of serving back into your business approach.

    The importance of trust, value, and service in building relationships.

    As we wrap up, here’s the lesson: Genuine relationships come from giving, not taking. By focusing on serving others, you not only differentiate yourself but also build trust and loyalty that lead to long-term success. So, the next time you think about handing out a business card, ask yourself—what am I doing to serve and provide value?

    Uncaged Hack: "You are your own competition. Are you showing value?"

  • How do you turn disaster into an opportunity to serve and grow?


    What role does creativity play in overcoming life’s toughest challenges?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I’m David Bayliff, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring you another impactful episode. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Charlotte Walters from Black Mountain, North Carolina. Charlotte has been part of the Uncaged family for over four years and runs a thriving practice, Mountain Wellness, serving outdoor enthusiasts. But her story goes far beyond her clinic. Today, we’ll dive into how she navigated the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene and turned a moment of crisis into an opportunity for community and service.


    In the face of adversity, Charlotte found a way to support her neighbors. By launching a sponsored physical therapy initiative, she provided care to those injured in the cleanup efforts. This not only helped the community heal but also deepened their connection to her practice.

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

    Building a community-focused practice and connecting with your audience.

    How disasters can uncover opportunities for service and creativity.

    The role of financial resources in supporting both your family and your community.

    Overcoming personal and professional challenges with resilience and adaptability.

    Charlotte’s story is a powerful reminder that crises don’t define us—our response to them does. By leaning into creativity, community, and service, she turned a moment of immense challenge into one of growth and connection. Her journey shows that the small, intentional steps we take today can create a ripple effect of positive impact tomorrow.

    Uncaged Hack: "Every time something out of our control happens, we learn more about ourselves and the community around us."

  • Have you ever felt stuck waiting for a big break while overlooking the small wins along the way?


    What if the secret to long-term success is hidden in your everyday actions?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I'm your host, David Bayliff, and I’m thrilled to have you with me today. Let’s kick things off with a question: are you taking joy in the daily grind, or are you solely focused on reaching the finish line? Inspired by Ecclesiastes 9:10, today’s episode is all about finding joy in doing the work. We’ll explore how focusing on the process rather than the outcome can transform your journey and redefine success.

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

    Why small, consistent actions hold the key to big outcomes.

    The dangers of instant gratification in modern culture.

    How to break free from imposter syndrome and comparison traps.

    The hidden value in being faithful to your daily efforts, even when no one else sees.

    So, what’s the takeaway, friends? Success isn’t about where you are right now or where you wish to be tomorrow—it’s about showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process. The small steps you take today will build the foundation for the big wins tomorrow. Remember, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."

    Uncaged Hack: "Don't disregard the small stuff while waiting for big events to happen. It's the stacking of all those little things that lead to something grand."

  • Are you caught up in certifications and tools rather than the outcomes you deliver?


    What if your true value lies beyond the techniques you use?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I'm your host, David Bayliff, thrilled to be with you today. We’re exploring a groundbreaking concept: why your tools don’t matter as much as you think. While skills and certifications are important, let’s focus on what we truly provide for people.


    Often, we're caught up in the details—tools, techniques, and methods. However, the real impact lies in the outcomes we deliver to our clients. In this episode, we'll dive deeper into this topic and discuss how focusing on results can redefine our work.


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

    Why tools and certifications shouldn’t define your practice.

    How to shift your focus to client outcomes and transformations.

    Real-world advice for early-career clinicians and practice owners.

    How this mindset can revolutionize your evaluations and conversations with clients

    The tools you use are secondary to the outcomes you deliver. When you focus on what truly matters—bringing life-changing results to your clients—you’ll find clarity and purpose in your practice. Whether you're navigating the early stages of building a practice or looking for a fresh perspective in your established career, this episode is here to inspire you.

    Uncaged Hack: "When you can shift your focus of really what it is that you do for people, the ultimate outcomes, then it almost doesn't matter what type of person that you're working with."

  • Are you living in alignment with your mission, or are you just chasing goals that don’t inspire you?

    How can your personal brand become a magnet for purpose-driven opportunities?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. David Bayliff here, back with another transformative episode. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. F Scott Feil—a purpose-driven leader passionate about empowering clinicians to find their authentic selves and build meaningful brands. We’re diving into a topic that could reshape your career: creating a personal brand that aligns with your values and mission while attracting opportunities that make a real impact.

    Dr. F Scott Feil brings fresh insights on how building a brand isn’t just about fancy logos or catchy taglines—it’s about who you are at your core. He shares how aligning your work with your purpose can not only help you thrive professionally but also foster authentic connections that last.

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

    Why personal branding is essential for clinicians

    The importance of aligning your brand with your mission and values

    Overcoming self-doubt and the “just a clinician” mentality

    How sharing your journey attracts higher-level clients

    The power of dreaming big and creating a lasting impact

    As we wrap up, remember: living in alignment with your purpose isn’t just good for your career—it’s life-changing. By embracing your unique story, sharing your aspirations, and building a purpose-driven brand, you’ll attract opportunities that elevate you and those you serve.

  • Are you tired of hearing, "What’s your price?" or "Do you take my insurance?" at the start of every call?

    What if there was a way to steer those conversations toward the real reason your clients need you?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. Hey there, it's David Bayliff, and today, I’m diving into one of the biggest pain points for cash-based practitioners: navigating those tricky pricing and insurance questions. As a coach and clinician myself, I know how it feels when the first words out of a client’s mouth are about cost instead of care. So, in this episode, we’re flipping the script! How can you guide conversations to focus on value instead of just price?

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

    Why traditional responses to “What’s your price?” can miss the mark

    How to reframe client calls into meaningful interviews

    Specific questions that guide clients to focus on their needs

    Practical examples to soften price discussions

    At the end of the day, it’s about making your clients feel heard and understood. The key lesson? Take control of the conversation—it’s your chance to show them why you’re the right person to help. Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician! Now, let’s put these strategies to work and redefine how you handle client inquiries.

  • Are your goals bold enough to push you to change, or are you playing it safe?

    What if thinking bigger could unlock potential you never knew you had?

    Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and today we're discussing the power of bold goal setting and the mindset shifts required to overcome our self-imposed limits. Often, we settle for "safe" goals in both patient care and personal growth because we fear failure or embarrassment. This episode will explore how this cautious approach can stifle our potential and how embracing more ambitious goals can unlock profound personal and professional advancements.

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

    Why small goals feel safe and how they might limit growth

    The role of self-doubt in goal setting and how to move past it

    The importance of big goals in building new habits and fostering personal growth

    How ambitious goals can increase your impact and lead to greater achievement

    As we wrap up, remember: growth and change are often uncomfortable but essential. Set big goals that challenge you and transform your habits. Embracing bold goals isn’t just about achievement—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. So take that leap, dream big, and let’s make an impact together!

    Uncaged Hack: “Make big goals. Be bold with those goals and see where you end up.”

  • Are the people around you helping you grow or holding you back?


    How much does your social circle impact your success?

    Welcome another FANTAWESOME episode of Uncaged Clinician! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and today I dive into the impact of your social circle on your achievements. Learn to build a network that supports your aspirations and drives your growth.

    Have you ever noticed how certain people motivate you to take action while others can pull you down? We’re breaking down the famous idea from Jim Rohn: "You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Are your five pushing you to achieve, or are they content to stay where they are? It’s a relatable challenge—being around people who might unknowingly slow us down like crabs in a pot pulling each other back.

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

    The importance of accountability for consistency and motivation

    How your environment can subtly shape your goals

    "Crabs in a pot" and why it matters for your growth

    Benefits of surrounding yourself with like-minded achievers

    This episode reminds us that growth and accountability go hand in hand. Whether your goals are personal, professional, or both, the right social circle can be the difference between stagnation and success. Let’s embrace the iron that sharpens iron and start creating the environment we need to thrive. Thanks for tuning in, and let’s keep pushing forward together!

  • Have you ever felt stuck trying to explain the value of wellness in a clinical setting?


    Want to know how to turn your clinical skills into a lifelong impact?

    In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. Today, we're tackling the mindset around integrating wellness programs in clinical practice. Selling wellness can sometimes feel uncomfortable or even guilt-inducing. However, what if we shifted our view to see ourselves not just as clinicians, but as lifelong partners in our clients' health journeys? Many clinicians find it hard to align wellness initiatives with traditional billing and feel uneasy about long-term client retention. Let's explore how seeing ourselves as "health investment brokers" rather than just therapists could change our approach.

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

    The shift from clinical treatment to long-term wellness

    Overcoming the guilt associated with “selling” wellness programs

    How to communicate the life-changing value of wellness to clients

    Reframing your role as a “health investment broker”

    As we wrap up, remember that embracing courage in this journey towards wellness can open new doors for you and your clients. By shifting your perspective, you’re not just providing therapy—you’re empowering people to lead healthier lives, building lasting relationships, and creating true, meaningful impact.

  • Have you ever held back from acting because things didn’t feel “perfect”?

    What if courage, rather than action, was the key to moving forward?

    In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I'm excited to explore the transformative concept of imperfect courage today. Have you ever held back because you didn’t feel ready? This episode is for you. It's about embracing the courage to act, even under less than ideal conditions. Often, we avoid taking action due to fear of judgment, failure, or not being perfect. What if true success is about having the courage to act despite these imperfections? Let's dive into how this mindset can unlock significant personal and professional growth.

    In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

    How perfectionism can lead to avoidance and limit growth

    Why courage matters more than “perfect action”

    Practical ways to practice courage in uncomfortable situations

    How imperfect courage can improve personal resilience and create opportunities

    I want to wrap up by reminding you that courage—even if it’s imperfect—is essential for making real progress and building meaningful connections. When we choose courage over perfection, we open ourselves up to create deeper relationships, unlock new opportunities, and gain the confidence to tackle even bigger challenges ahead.

    Uncaged Hack: "Success doesn’t require perfection, but it does require courage."

  • What does it take to successfully lead a mobile healthcare team? Have you ever considered the importance of fostering a strong team culture in your practice?

    In this FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, I’m your host David Bayliff. I’m excited to catch up with Dr. Mitch Straub, the owner of Vital Rehab in State College, PA. If you heard Mitch's first episode this summer, you already know he brings a unique mix of experience to the table, including a background in the food service industry that’s influenced his take on rehab.

    Today, we’re diving into how his practice has evolved, along with the ups and downs of building a multidisciplinary mobile healthcare team. Mitch shares how he started Vital Rehab with a focus on active aging for older adults. After running a big inpatient rehab facility, he saw a need for a more personalized approach in his community. He started out solo, but after ten months, he brought in his first teammates—a physical therapist and an occupational therapist. This team approach has been a game-changer, especially when working with Medicare, boosting both patient care and revenue.

    In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

    The journey of starting Vital Rehab

    The importance of a multidisciplinary approach

    Challenges in leading a mobile healthcare team

    Building a positive team culture

    Strategies for effective communication and connection

    The value of investing in your team


    As we wrap up, remember that building a successful practice is all about creating a supportive environment for your team. Mitch’s insights remind us that investing in our staff not only enhances patient care but also fosters a thriving workplace. Tune in to gain practical guidance from Mitch's experiences, whether you're a solopreneur or looking to expand your team.

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to balance client work and business management?


    Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to set up your practice right from the start?

    Welcome to another FANTAWESOME episode of the Uncaged Clinician podcast! Today's podcast is a quick, impactful segment geared to help you avoid common pitfalls in your practice. Today’s topic? The “busy” trap that sneaks up on so many new practice owners. From focusing too much on revenue to neglecting foundational processes, I’ll break down the habits and decisions that can make or break a successful practice.

    In this episode, I’ll delve into the following topics:

    The pitfalls of constantly chasing new business

    Why “busy” doesn’t always mean “successful”

    The importance of setting up systems from day one

    How to identify if you’re running a practice or just working a job

    Balancing revenue generation with business growth tasks

    I encourage every clinician out there to take a step back and examine if you’re truly setting up a practice or just creating a busy job for yourselves. Because I believe that by establishing systems early on, practice owners can look forward to a more balanced, rewarding career that grows sustainably.

    Uncaged Hack: "Busy without setting aside time for yourself to work on your business will lead to a ceiling that you're just pressed against."
