I’m speaking at SOLEutions 2026 in Nashville (March 18-21).

This is a small workshop—limited to 50 podiatrists—focused on the business side of regenerative medicine. Not just clinical protocols, but the profitability systems that make it sustainable.

I’ll be covering Marketing Strategies That Attract Self-Funded Podiatric Patients.

If you’re serious about building a profitable regenerative service line (or refining the one you have), this is worth your time.

Small group. Implementation focus. Real numbers.

📣 New Podcast Episode for Private Practice Owners

Most podiatrists focus their marketing efforts on getting new patients.

But what if your most effective marketing asset is already in your waiting room?

In this week’s episode of the Podiatry Marketing Podcast, Tyson E Franklin and I break down how to turn a first-time visitor into a raving fan — someone who refers like crazy, leaves glowing reviews, and keeps coming back.

We cover:
✔️ How first impressions (like your parking lot!) shape patient trust
✔️ Why your front desk might be driving patients away
✔️ The overlooked power of unexpected follow-up
✔️ Real tactics for training your team to wow every patient, every time

🤯 The progress in AI image generation over the past year is wild.

Just 12 months ago, I couldn’t get ChatGPT to generate a podiatrist without slapping a stethoscope around their neck.

Today? It can create photo-realistic, specialty-specific stock images that actually make sense.

The future of custom visuals is here — and it’s only getting better.
