What does it really take to grow a chiropractic practice without burning out?

In this behind-the-scenes CEO update, Dr. Stefanie Ascher shares what she calls her current "building season", a quieter but powerful phase focused on sustainable growth, leadership development, backend systems, and AI automation.

Instead of chasing rapid expansion, she's focused on strengthening the foundation: expanding her team, teaching decision-making (not just SOPs), and implementing automations that plug revenue leaks and create long-term stability.

If you're a chiropractor, healthcare provider, or business owner looking to scale without chaos, this episode is your roadmap.

• Why mentorship now requires teaching how you think, not just what to do

• How to develop empowered team leaders with real autonomy

• The systems upgrade she calls "Systems 2.0"

• How patient reactivation checkpoints at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months increase retention

• The exact lead follow-up infrastructure using text, calls, and email funnels

• What an AI-powered team command center looks like (and how it replaces constant interruptions)

• Why this quiet season is changing the trajectory of the practice long-term

This episode is a reminder that sustainable growth doesn't come from doing more; it comes from building better systems.

If you've been feeling stretched thin in your business, this conversation will inspire you to pause, build, and strengthen your foundation.
