As we kick off 2026, the Uncaged Clinician Podcast is setting the tone for intentional growth—for you, your team, and your practice.

In this episode, host David Bayliff dives into one of the most underutilized yet powerful tools in healthcare business growth: client and team feedback loops. Caring about your patients isn't enough—clarity comes from understanding the client experience from their perspective, not just your own.

You'll learn:

• Why most practice owners assume things are going well—until patients drop off

• How feedback loops shift your business from reactive to proactive

• The 3 essential components of an effective feedback loop: Collection, Communication, and Correction

• How to turn client feedback into actionable team growth (without blame or defensiveness)

• Simple, intentional ways to collect feedback that actually drives change

• Why strong feedback loops create raving fans, stronger teams, and a business that's easier to lead

David also shares how feedback loops help align your daily operations with your mission, values, and vision—so your team understands what excellent care truly looks like from the client's point of view.

If you've ever wondered why patients stop scheduling, why retention dips, or why your team feels stuck, this episode will challenge how you think about growth and give you a practical framework to move forward.

As we close out 2025, Kevin DeGroot and David Bayliff sit down for an honest, reflective conversation about what this year has really required of clinicians, business owners, and leaders.

This isn't a highlight-reel episode. It's a grounded discussion about mental fatigue, seasons of change, identity versus titles, and why building a business gets exponentially harder when life itself is demanding so much of your energy.

In this episode, Kevin and David unpack:

• Why mindset and mental health matter more than ever when building a business

• How seasons of change force us back to fundamentals—and why that's not a step backward

• The difference between who you are and what you do (identity vs. identifiers)

• Why "simple" and "boring" businesses often lead to the most sustainable and fulfilling lives

• How defining success for yourself—not society—can change everything

If you've felt tired, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning whether the grind is worth it, this episode will meet you where you are and remind you that faithful progress in the mundane is often what sets you up for long-term success.

In a Challenging Season, Don't Quit!

If you're an entrepreneur or clinician and this year hasn't gone the way you hoped, you're not alone—and this episode is for you.

As the year comes to a close, many business owners find themselves discouraged, exhausted, and questioning whether it's worth continuing. In this episode of The Uncaged Clinician Podcast, David Bayliff speaks directly to entrepreneurs who feel stuck, behind, or tempted to quit.

David shares five practical and encouraging reminders to help you regain perspective, renew your energy, and keep moving forward when things feel heavy. From remembering the courage it took to start, to shifting from short-term frustration to a long-term mindset, this episode is a powerful reminder that a tough season does not define your calling—or your future.

You'll be encouraged to:

• Recognize the courage and grit you already possess

• Reflect on how far you've come (even if it doesn't feel like enough)

• Reconnect with your "why" and what's truly at stake

• Stop despising small beginnings and play the long game

• Embrace rest as a necessary part of sustainable growth

If you're feeling worn down, discouraged, or questioning your next step, this episode will remind you why you started—and why quitting now may cost you the very freedom you're working toward.
