  • Reclaiming Your Time as a Solopreneur
    Jun 18 2025

    Feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around?

    What if reclaiming your time started with just one mindset shift?


    Hey there, and welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I’m your host, David Bayliff, PT, turned business coach, solopreneur whisperer, and advocate for clinicians living a life of purpose. This episode is a candid, real talk about something every healthcare entrepreneur feels but rarely discusses: time loss. More specifically, how to get it back and why that matters more than ever.

    In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you:

    • The unavoidable grind of starting a healthcare business

    • The importance of answering who, not just how

    • Setting boundaries and knowing your limits before burnout hits

    • When to hire (hint: it’s before you think you need to)

    • Why revisiting your “why” can unlock better time and energy management

    • The hidden role of personal development in building your business identity


    As we close this episode, remember: the real flex isn’t a packed schedule; it’s owning your time, your vision, and your why. The grind is real, but it doesn’t have to last forever. You deserve a business that supports your life, not one that consumes it. And if you're ready to start making that shift, let’s talk. Book a free growth strategy call and let’s get you uncaged.

  • Why Chasing Client Praise Could Be Stalling Your Growth
    Jun 11 2025

    Ever wonder why it feels so good to hear “thank you” from a client, but oddly unsettling when that praise goes to someone else on your team?

    Are you staying in patient care for the love of the work… or the love of validation?


    Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today we’re diving deep into something that’s not often talked about: the emotional rollercoaster of transitioning from clinician to leader. As a physical therapist who has spent years perfecting my skills to deliver exceptional patient care, I know firsthand how challenging it is to let go of the daily dopamine rush that comes with client praise. If you’ve been wondering why scaling your practice feels like such an identity shift, this episode is for you.


    Here’s what we’re diving into in this episode:

    • The emotional identity shift from therapist to business owner

    • Understanding the dopamine loop of client praise

    • Good vs. bad reasons for staying in patient care

    • How to empower your team without losing your sense of purpose

    • Practical mindset shifts to lead a sustainable, scalable practice

    If you're struggling with letting go, know this. It’s okay to love treating clients, and it’s OK to want more. What matters is understanding your why. By facing the hard questions, owning your leadership role, and trusting your team to shine, you’ll build a practice that thrives well beyond your treatment table. Let’s scale with heart, not ego.

    Uncaged Hack: "One of the biggest challenges that we face as we start to become a leader and build a business is that we need to dedicate more and more time to helping other people hit their goals."

  • Stop Leading on Autopilot
    Jun 4 2025

    What if the same leadership strategies that grow your business could transform your family?

    Are you leading your home with the same intentionality as your team?


    Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and today I sit down with Hannah DeGroot to talk about the kind of leadership that starts at home. From parenting wins to real-life lessons, we will explore how showing up for your family builds stronger leaders in life and business.

    Here’s what we’re diving into in this episode:

    • The five F’s that shape your identity

    • Why business leadership principles apply to parenting

    • How to be intentional with your family vision

    • Ways to break unhelpful generational patterns

    • Pre-planning responses to common family dynamics

    • The importance of modeling repair and emotional intelligence


    Whether you're a parent, planning to be one, or just want to lead better in your everyday relationships, this episode is a powerful reminder that great leadership starts at home. Take the time to reflect on the kind of legacy you want to leave, not just in your work, but in your family. Leadership is more than just results; it's also about the relationships we build and the lives we impact every single day.

    Uncaged Hack: "You can transfer to someone only what you have lived and modeled for yourself."
