Dr. Allen Miner: Hi, everyone. Welcome into the Best Practices podcast for UAC. I'm Dr. Allen Miner with my co-host, Dr. Brian Capra today. And the point of this podcast is we have some of the most unique, I'd say, best hardcore consistent operators in chiropractic that are members of UAC and from many different corners of the profession. So, we like to get a nugget on these calls about how our members are viewing their practice, their business, what they're using for best practices. And with that said, I'm going to hand it over to you, Dr. Brian.Dr. Brian Capra: Thanks, doc. Appreciate it, bro. Yeah. So, we have a great guest today. Dr. Darin Shook from Washington. Learned a little bit about his practice, tell you a little bit about his practice of corrective care, two owners, several associates, and been doing very well for a long time. So, we don't want to take too much time. I want to get a nugget, get it out there and what's on the top of your mind? I know you mentioned sailing is one of your passions, but maybe also an analogy for your business. And what can you tell us?Dr. Darin Shook: Brian, thanks for having me on. And you as well, Allen. You know, Dr. Anik and I, my wife, we've been in practice for close to 25 years now. And one of the things that we like to do is just have adventures. I feel like we work hard, and we like to play hard. So, there's trying to find balance in that. I don't want to retire and then experience life. I want to experience life now at every age. So, a few years ago, Anik, she always has fun ideas and she's like, let's learn how to sail. So, this is our next chapter in adventure in life is sailing.Dr. Allen Miner: Where do you start on that, Darin? Do you hire somebody? Do you get a coach? Do you read books?Dr. Brian Capra: It freaks me out to even think about it.Dr. Darin Shook: It was definitely an unknown. And we live in the Pacific Northwest, right? So, there's not a, we live on the Columbia River. So sailing, we're on a river. We found a sailing course through the ASA Go Baja Sailing down in La Paz, Mexico. And so, we did our intro courses, which is basic sailing book, basic sailing knowledge and then understanding like chartering, how to charter a boat and bareboat chartering. So, we took this class and this was in, I think it was in November of, it was about three years ago now. By the time we got back from the class, we just had such a great, wonderful time. Within six weeks, we bought a sailboat. And then we thought about it. It's like, how are you going to start something unless you just dive right into it? So, Anik and I have a way of doing that. So, we bought a sailboat. We have a 33-foot Beneteau, nice boat, it's easy to sell, easy to learn on, and that's what we started off with.Dr. Allen Miner: So how did you, walk us through? Because what's inherent in your story is obviously you guys have built some measure of time freedom in the practice, some flexibility that you can even have the bandwidth and mindset that we can be free. We're not tied to the business. So maybe on a high level, walk us through how did you guys start? And then where was the tipping point where you started with maybe associates and just take us on a high level through the journey of how did you go from starting this business to 23 years later having it run to the point where you guys can step out to pursue sailing as a hobby?Dr. Darin Shook: Well, I mean, I can tell you there was a lot of sweat equity in this, the first many years we struggled, I feel like we struggled doing coaching and so forth. And then realize that in order to have some freedom, we had to leverage and not everybody was going to do what we did to the best. So,
