In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host David Bayliff breaks down the 3 non-negotiables for predictable practice growth—and why trying to "do everything" is often the very thing holding clinic owners back.

Many practice owners say their leads come from "everywhere," but in reality, that usually means nothing is optimized, owned, or scalable. David unpacks why predictable growth requires clarity, intentionality, and systems—not hustle or luck.

You'll learn:

• Why every growing clinic needs at least one primary lead source that is predictable, measurable, and intentional

• How spreading your marketing across too many channels keeps your practice average

• The power of one clear message—who you help, the problems you solve, and why your clinic must exist

• Why adding services, populations, or team members too early can dilute growth

• How having one solid follow-up system can dramatically improve conversions without more leads

• Why speed, consistency, and personalization win over being "loud" in marketing

If you're a clinic owner looking to simplify growth, improve conversions, and build a practice that scales with confidence—not chaos—this episode is a must-listen.

Tune in and learn how to create predictable growth by doing fewer things better.

Has your clinic matured… but your marketing hasn't?

In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host David Bayliff speaks directly to the established practice owner who feels like their marketing efforts are busy—but not effective.

Many clinic owners continue marketing like a startup long after their practice has grown. The result? Confusion, burnout, flat revenue, and stalled growth. In this conversation, David breaks down why marketing must evolve as your clinic evolves—and how clarity, not more activity, is the real growth lever.

You'll learn:

• The key difference between startup marketing and established-practice marketing

• Why visibility matters early—but clarity and trust drive growth later

• The 3 levels of marketing maturity:

  • Activity-based marketing (busy, reactive, exhausting)

  • System-based marketing (focused, repeatable, efficient)

  • Brand-driven marketing (aligned, scalable, trust-building)

• How unclear messaging creates objections—and costs you real revenue

• Why consistency beats creativity when it comes to sustainable growth

• What branding actually is (and why it's not your logo or colors)

If your marketing feels heavy, scattered, or stuck—and your growth has plateaued—this episode will help you identify bottlenecks, refocus your message, and choose one clear marketing priority to work on over the next 90 days.

Whether you're an established clinic owner or a newer practice planning for the future, this episode will challenge you to ask one powerful question:

Has your marketing matured with your clinic?

Tune in, reflect, and start marketing with intention.

What if understanding risk actually gave you more freedom to grow your practice—not more fear?

In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host David Bayliff sits down with Dr. Michael Uzar, PT, founder of Rehab Risk Consulting, for a powerful conversation on risk management, business ownership, and non-traditional career paths for clinicians.

Michael shares his journey from PTA to PT to health system risk manager—and how those same clinical skills translate into protecting practices from liability, licensure issues, and reputation damage. Together, they break down what risk management really is, why it matters for rehab business owners, and how proactive communication and strong relationships can reduce the likelihood of lawsuits and patient fallout.

You'll also learn:

• Why most clinicians overestimate risk—and how that fear can stall growth

• The difference between liability insurance and true risk management

• Common blind spots for practice owners (HIPAA, social media, informed consent, patient termination, and more)

• How transparency, apology, and trust can protect both patients and your business

• Why clinicians' skills are far more transferable than they think—and how to step into non-clinical roles with confidence

Whether you're a new or seasoned practice owner—or a clinician exploring non-traditional paths—this episode will help you think like a risk manager without becoming paralyzed by fear.
