The MOST expensive thing that your business could do in 2026 is NOT grow to your potential.

In this episode of the Remarkable CEO Podcast, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete reveal the 2026 Theme of the Year and explain why every chiropractic business will face predictable breakpoints as it grows. They walk through how constraints show up in marketing, conversion, operations, team, and collections, and why seeing those constraints early determines whether a practice stalls or accelerates. This conversation reframes growth challenges as signals, not failures, and shows how operationalizing systems, professionalizing people, and committing to optimization creates the momentum needed to move through the next level of practice growth with clarity and confidence.

In this episode you will:

Understand why predictable breakpoints show up as a practice grows
Recognize how constraints form across marketing, operations, team, and collections
See the difference between a breakpoint that stalls growth and one that creates momentum
Clarify what operationalizing and professionalizing actually change at the next level
Walk away knowing why not growing is the most expensive decision in 2026
