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.
In this episode you will:
- 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

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
