Most chiropractic associates fail—not because they're bad doctors, but because they're launched the wrong way.
After losing money, frustrating patients, and failing with his first two associates, Dr. Brian Morris realized the problem wasn't the doctors—it was the system. Today, after nearly three decades in practice, Brian and his wife, Dr. Misty Morris, have built a multi-doctor practice generating over $300,000 per month, with associate doctors who regularly earn six figures and thrive inside the practice.

In this episode, Brian breaks down his proven 100 in 100 framework—helping new associates reach 100 patient visits per week in their first 100 days. He explains why most owners launch associates too slowly, how to build a marketing calendar before day one, and why community outreach remains one of the most overlooked patient acquisition strategies in chiropractic.We also discuss the qualities of a truly "launchable" associate, building compensation plans that create win-win outcomes, developing confident communicators instead of technicians, and creating systems that allow practices to scale without sacrificing culture or patient experience.
Brian also shares why referrals remain his #1 growth channel, how his team creates unforgettable patient experiences inspired by Unreasonable Hospitality, and why practice owners should stop blaming associates and start improving their leadership systems.
If you're thinking about hiring your first associate—or want to build a practice that grows without depending entirely on you—this episode provides a practical blueprint you can implement immediately.

PRO TIP:
Don't hire an associate to reduce your workload. Hire one when you still have the energy, systems, and leadership capacity to launch them successfully. A fast, structured launch creates confidence, profitability, and long-term success for both the practice and the associate.
