1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640 Stress in a modern society is a big deal, and regular chiropractic care 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,920 is, I'm convinced, uh, one of the keys to dealing with that problem. 3 00:00:11,709 --> 00:00:12,489 Dallas Burnett: Hey everybody. 4 00:00:12,489 --> 00:00:14,379 We're talking to Dr. Kevin Power today. 5 00:00:14,379 --> 00:00:19,569 What an amazing guy He

from Australia. 20 00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:57,410 He graduated from Sherman College in 1981. 21 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,510 He's built a thriving practice taught for over two decades. 22 00:02:02,690

Kevin. 27 00:02:19,089 --> 00:02:20,466 Kevin Powers: Well, a pleasure to be here. 28 00:02:20,912 --> 00:02:21,842 Dallas Burnett: That's awesome. 29 00:02:21,842 --> 00:02:25,472 Well, I am, I've been excited to have you, and we've actually talked about this 30 00:02:25,472 --> 00:02:28,202 for quite some time, just, hey, would you be ever interested in being on the show? 31 00:02:28,202 --> 00:02:30,822 Because, we've had so many great conversations. 32 00:02:30,822 --> 00:02:33,372 So, um, your whole. 33 00:02:34,582 --> 00:02:37,612 that you do is so intentional and I think that's one of the things that 34 00:02:37,612 --> 00:02:41,842 we always, at the last 10% we always appreciate is leaders who are intentional. 35 00:02:41,842 --> 00:02:45,812 And whether that is in treating patients or whether that is, in how 36 00:02:45,812 --> 00:02:49,112 you run your practice or how you teach the students, it's just a lot 37 00:02:49,112 --> 00:02:50,762 of intentionality in common sense. 38 00:02:50,762 --> 00:02:53,582 And man, we have just had some of the best conversations while 39 00:02:53,582 --> 00:02:56,427 I'm laying on my back or on my stomach while you're working on me. 40 00:02:56,792 --> 00:02:59,312 And I was like, we have gotta do some of this on air because 41 00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:00,452 people are missing out. 42 00:03:00,477 --> 00:03:04,347 So, first of all, I just wanna just wanna bring you in and let everybody 43 00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:08,727 know a little bit about who Kevin is, like you are from down under. 44 00:03:08,727 --> 00:03:12,457 So talk to us a little bit about how you got into being a chiropractor and 45 00:03:12,457 --> 00:03:15,952 what was like in Australia growing up in a house full of brothers. 46 00:03:16,036 --> 00:03:20,296 Kevin Powers: Well, we go back a ways in the sense then that, uh, we actually 47 00:03:20,356 --> 00:03:24,316 grew up on a little, uh, orchard and it was 20 acre citrus orchard. 48 00:03:24,676 --> 00:03:26,686 We were farmers, you know, dad was a farmer. 49 00:03:27,556 --> 00:03:32,536 And, um, so we play a weird coat of football in Australia 50 00:03:32,536 --> 00:03:33,706 that's similar to rugby. 51 00:03:34,246 --> 00:03:37,276 So you dress out like a soccer player, but you get hit real hard. 52 00:03:37,276 --> 00:03:42,346 So we ended up, we ended up in a chiropractor's office quite a lot 53 00:03:42,376 --> 00:03:46,296 'cause our parents were, you know, they, they believed in natural 54 00:03:46,296 --> 00:03:47,376 sort of medicines and stuff. 55 00:03:47,376 --> 00:03:50,826 So it's, it was all a domino effect. 56 00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:54,936 The second El brother realized that he wanted to go to chiropractic school. 57 00:03:55,731 --> 00:04:00,081 He went, then the next brother went, the next brother went, and they all got 58 00:04:00,081 --> 00:04:01,731 back and were practicing in Australia. 59 00:04:01,731 --> 00:04:05,451 And, um, I realized that I wanted to do something with my 60 00:04:05,451 --> 00:04:07,011 life that had some significance. 61 00:04:07,041 --> 00:04:09,997 Uh, prior to that you know, I didn't really have much direction. 62 00:04:10,551 --> 00:04:14,361 And so out of all that came, yep, let's go to school. 63 00:04:14,361 --> 00:04:17,991 So I, as you say, I bought a one way ticket to South Carolina to go 64 00:04:17,991 --> 00:04:19,671 to Sherman College of Chiropractic. 65 00:04:20,271 --> 00:04:20,961 And, uh. 66 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:22,245 Back in 78. 67 00:04:22,401 --> 00:04:24,861 Um, but, you know, we had a good life in Australia. 68 00:04:24,861 --> 00:04:27,961 I mean, there wasn't, we weren't wealthy people, but it was a good life. 69 00:04:27,961 --> 00:04:30,581 And we had, the citrus orchard. 70 00:04:30,581 --> 00:04:35,011 So we were organic before it was, there was organic, you know, 71 00:04:35,487 --> 00:04:35,707 Dallas Burnett: Uh. 72 00:04:35,791 --> 00:04:38,431 Kevin Powers: had fruit from a citrus tree that you could pick 73 00:04:38,491 --> 00:04:40,471 right out your, your side door. 74 00:04:40,612 --> 00:04:44,932 we had a chickens, chickens, a cow raw milk, the whole nine yards. 75 00:04:44,992 --> 00:04:45,472 And, uh. 76 00:04:46,162 --> 00:04:47,122 So it was a great life. 77 00:04:47,122 --> 00:04:52,512 Played football, went to school, and, So having a, you know, a, career in 78 00:04:52,512 --> 00:04:56,722 chiropractic was really a, a pivotal thing for me when I decided to do that. 79 00:04:57,382 --> 00:05:01,762 And it's stood me in good stead for almost 45 years now. 80 00:05:01,762 --> 00:05:05,272 So it's, it's been an amazing an amazing journey, really. 81 00:05:05,272 --> 00:05:09,442 And you just follow the leading of where that takes you. 82 00:05:09,522 --> 00:05:11,562 I operate my life outta faith. 83 00:05:11,997 --> 00:05:14,037 The Lord has directed me in a lot of directions. 84 00:05:14,037 --> 00:05:18,177 But you know, here I am sitting in South Carolina later. 85 00:05:18,177 --> 00:05:19,167 I mean, who would've thunk it. 86 00:05:19,812 --> 00:05:22,572 Dallas Burnett: when you came to Sherman, 'cause Sherman is known, 87 00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:24,162 I guess, is it known globally? 88 00:05:24,162 --> 00:05:25,002 Did you know about it in 89 00:05:25,091 --> 00:05:25,571 Kevin Powers: yes, 90 00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:25,842 Dallas Burnett: you, 91 00:05:26,082 --> 00:05:26,982 was it that prominent? 92 00:05:26,982 --> 00:05:28,272 Even across It is. 93 00:05:28,421 --> 00:05:29,051 Kevin Powers: yes, 94 00:05:29,111 --> 00:05:32,531 Uh, so the other three brothers had come to the states to go to school because. 95 00:05:33,471 --> 00:05:36,261 you, there was no teaching institution in Australia. 96 00:05:36,261 --> 00:05:37,251 You had to leave. 97 00:05:37,301 --> 00:05:42,121 there was one getting started in the seventies, but you had to leave and 98 00:05:42,121 --> 00:05:43,951 come to the states or go to England. 99 00:05:44,701 --> 00:05:46,471 Um, I'd already been to England. 100 00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:51,361 I'd eat a backpack and thing around there, so the adventure was, Hey, I get 101 00:05:51,361 --> 00:05:52,951 to go live in America for three years. 102 00:05:52,951 --> 00:05:53,971 Sign me up, man. 103 00:05:54,001 --> 00:05:54,691 No problem. 104 00:05:57,061 --> 00:06:02,721 Let's go and yeah, Sherman was in its infancy in those days, but, it, it's 105 00:06:02,721 --> 00:06:06,471 grown into one of the premier chiropractic schools in the world, I believe. 106 00:06:06,471 --> 00:06:09,051 And I know I'm a little biased 'cause it's my alma mater. 107 00:06:09,681 --> 00:06:11,271 I taught there for all those years. 108 00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:14,846 But, we, we educate excellent chiropractors at 109 00:06:14,851 --> 00:06:16,991 Sherman College, so, yeah. 110 00:06:17,381 --> 00:06:17,681 Love that. 111 00:06:17,697 --> 00:06:21,117 Dallas Burnett: so now what, what made you decide, you came here for school? 112 00:06:21,857 --> 00:06:23,337 you know, you went through this school. 113 00:06:23,337 --> 00:06:23,847 What made you 114 00:06:23,847 --> 00:06:26,457 decide to stay and not go back to down 115 00:06:26,576 --> 00:06:30,056 Kevin Powers: Well, actually I did go back, so upon graduation, 116 00:06:30,417 --> 00:06:30,537 Dallas Burnett: Ah, okay. 117 00:06:31,106 --> 00:06:33,511 Kevin Powers: I'd gotten married when I was here in school and, and 118 00:06:33,566 --> 00:06:37,416 so I'd said to, my bride, I said, well, if you're gonna be with me, 119 00:06:37,416 --> 00:06:38,586 you've gotta move to Australia. 120 00:06:38,586 --> 00:06:41,946 That was sort of a, sounds a little pedantic, but it was 121 00:06:41,946 --> 00:06:44,376 like this, I'm going home so. 122 00:06:47,046 --> 00:06:51,556 We, we went home and, uh, I, I did a two year associateship, worked 123 00:06:51,556 --> 00:06:53,896 for another doc for a while, and then I started my own business. 124 00:06:54,886 --> 00:06:57,826 But it was evident that living in Australia long term was 125 00:06:57,826 --> 00:06:59,116 not gonna be good for my wife. 126 00:06:59,116 --> 00:07:02,346 It was, you know, we're 10,000 miles away and, so I said, Hey, 127 00:07:02,616 --> 00:07:03,936 we can, we can turn around. 128 00:07:03,936 --> 00:07:05,676 I I know what America's like. 129 00:07:05,676 --> 00:07:06,306 I love it. 130 00:07:06,516 --> 00:07:07,986 It's, it's a great country. 131 00:07:07,986 --> 00:07:09,516 There's a lot of opportunity there. 132 00:07:10,146 --> 00:07:12,336 So we sold our practice, sold our house. 133 00:07:12,561 --> 00:07:14,361 You know, here we go. 134 00:07:14,361 --> 00:07:15,171 Moving again. 135 00:07:15,171 --> 00:07:17,751 Three little kids, uh, on an airplane. 136 00:07:17,751 --> 00:07:19,251 I'll, I'll tell you this little story. 137 00:07:19,881 --> 00:07:21,471 I'm sitting on, on an airplane. 138 00:07:21,471 --> 00:07:23,091 I'm halfway across the Pacific Ocean. 139 00:07:24,021 --> 00:07:28,581 I've got a wife, three kids, and I'm going, what have I done? 140 00:07:30,836 --> 00:07:30,991 You know, 141 00:07:32,182 --> 00:07:32,242 Dallas Burnett: oh 142 00:07:32,761 --> 00:07:34,581 Kevin Powers: and another crazy thing was 143 00:07:34,971 --> 00:07:37,551 I'm sitting in the airport and I thought, where are my keys? 144 00:07:38,271 --> 00:07:41,386 I've lost my keys, and I didn't have any. 145 00:07:42,606 --> 00:07:43,596 No key to a, 146 00:07:44,081 --> 00:07:44,197 Dallas Burnett: Oh. 147 00:07:44,772 --> 00:07:46,776 Kevin Powers: no key to a car, no key to an office. 148 00:07:46,776 --> 00:07:51,286 And it's like, oh, that's, that's a little micro what's happening. 149 00:07:52,366 --> 00:07:58,706 So we, uh, yeah, I came back for basically family reasons and so, I knew I was coming 150 00:07:58,706 --> 00:08:04,646 to South Carolina, which I love, let South Carolina, the south to me, is very similar 151 00:08:04,646 --> 00:08:07,136 to the culture of Australia, the people. 152 00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,171 very accepting. 153 00:08:09,171 --> 00:08:12,801 I, I've, I've been so well accepted here. 154 00:08:13,041 --> 00:08:14,391 Just no problem at all. 155 00:08:14,601 --> 00:08:17,121 Now, they may not understand me too well sometimes, but, 156 00:08:18,186 --> 00:08:20,016 Dallas Burnett: Well, that goes both ways in South Carolina. 157 00:08:24,005 --> 00:08:24,725 Kevin Powers: so I, 158 00:08:24,906 --> 00:08:25,446 Dallas Burnett: That's so 159 00:08:25,847 --> 00:08:27,647 Kevin Powers: I, you know, I said about getting started again. 160 00:08:27,647 --> 00:08:30,887 I, you know, I got a job and just made a lot of money just to pay the bills 161 00:08:30,887 --> 00:08:34,747 and, Got a license in South Carolina, which was, you know, wasn't an easy 162 00:08:34,807 --> 00:08:39,187 thing to do, but we got that taken care of and hung out in a shingle and it's, 163 00:08:39,187 --> 00:08:41,347 it's been hung out ever since then. 164 00:08:41,347 --> 00:08:43,207 Since 1988. 165 00:08:43,597 --> 00:08:43,897 Yeah. 166 00:08:43,897 --> 00:08:45,247 In South Carolina, so, 167 00:08:45,803 --> 00:08:46,103 Dallas Burnett: That's 168 00:08:46,207 --> 00:08:46,477 Kevin Powers: mm. 169 00:08:46,603 --> 00:08:47,473 Dallas Burnett: That's amazing. 170 00:08:47,597 --> 00:08:47,957 Kevin Powers: Yeah. 171 00:08:48,513 --> 00:08:51,138 Dallas Burnett: Now, so I would love to talk a little bit about your. 172 00:08:52,128 --> 00:08:56,068 Your, kind of tenure while you were teaching at Sherman as well, because 173 00:08:56,068 --> 00:09:00,478 you're, you have a tremendous amount of insight and I gotta say like, so 174 00:09:00,538 --> 00:09:04,218 I have had back issues since I was in my twenties, and a lot of that 175 00:09:04,398 --> 00:09:09,198 comes from sports injuries and just not taking care of myself as good as 176 00:09:09,198 --> 00:09:10,698 I probably should have in my teens. 177 00:09:10,998 --> 00:09:14,648 And so, uh, had back issues and so I've got, I'd gone to different. 178 00:09:14,963 --> 00:09:16,883 You know, different types of chiropractics. 179 00:09:16,883 --> 00:09:20,033 Some people, you know, 'cause I always, when I was growing up, it was 180 00:09:20,033 --> 00:09:23,483 kind of just like this thing where it's like, Ooh, I don't know, you, 181 00:09:23,483 --> 00:09:27,188 you know, it was a, it was a kind of a, not taboo, but it was like, I was 182 00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:28,493 too, I was just scared, you know? 183 00:09:28,493 --> 00:09:29,363 I was like, I'm not going. 184 00:09:29,363 --> 00:09:30,953 Somebody's gonna crack my neck in half. 185 00:09:30,953 --> 00:09:31,943 I just thought, oh. 186 00:09:32,303 --> 00:09:36,183 And so it was just this perception that, it was just kind of something there. 187 00:09:36,183 --> 00:09:38,493 But I, but then when you get into a situation where you're in 188 00:09:38,493 --> 00:09:39,393 so much pain. 189 00:09:40,128 --> 00:09:40,908 You can't get outta 190 00:09:41,072 --> 00:09:41,162 Kevin Powers: Ah, 191 00:09:41,898 --> 00:09:43,548 Dallas Burnett: then all of a sudden all these kind of 192 00:09:43,548 --> 00:09:44,508 options open up. 193 00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:46,772 Kevin Powers: absolutely. 194 00:09:47,298 --> 00:09:48,018 Dallas Burnett: And so, 195 00:09:48,018 --> 00:09:48,258 uh, 196 00:09:48,528 --> 00:09:51,818 yeah, so I started going to different people and I, and had some success 197 00:09:51,818 --> 00:09:54,278 with just some relief, just, I was just looking for relief. 198 00:09:54,618 --> 00:09:56,958 but what's so fascinating about. 199 00:09:57,128 --> 00:10:02,648 How you do what you do is, it's so specific that it's more specific than 200 00:10:02,648 --> 00:10:04,448 anybody else that I've ever gone to. 201 00:10:04,448 --> 00:10:08,168 Now I've gone to the ones where they do the radio wave through a metal 202 00:10:08,168 --> 00:10:11,858 rod behind your ear, and I've gone to some that'll grab your neck and 203 00:10:11,858 --> 00:10:15,338 just, you know, and it's like you feel it go all the way down your spine. 204 00:10:15,338 --> 00:10:17,168 You're like, is my head still attached? 205 00:10:17,218 --> 00:10:18,628 but you are totally different. 206 00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:19,638 I've never. 207 00:10:20,488 --> 00:10:22,318 Okay, so you gotta tell the listeners, you gotta tell. 208 00:10:22,318 --> 00:10:24,313 'cause I don't know, maybe their chiropractor does it this 209 00:10:24,313 --> 00:10:26,623 way, but I've never met anybody that does it exactly like you. 210 00:10:26,623 --> 00:10:27,853 And this is fascinating to me. 211 00:10:28,233 --> 00:10:31,293 you will go and pick a vertebra on my back. 212 00:10:31,563 --> 00:10:35,283 You will put your finger on it, press it, and I have my leg lifted 213 00:10:35,283 --> 00:10:37,923 up and you push against my leg. 214 00:10:38,313 --> 00:10:40,863 And you literally will do that per vertebra. 215 00:10:41,013 --> 00:10:42,038 And then you go, oh. 216 00:10:43,218 --> 00:10:45,398 Your C two's, not working right now. 217 00:10:45,608 --> 00:10:47,558 When you first did that, I was like, this guy, 218 00:10:51,382 --> 00:10:51,672 Kevin Powers: Yeah. 219 00:10:51,722 --> 00:10:52,392 Surprising. 220 00:10:52,868 --> 00:10:54,228 Dallas Burnett: there's no, Yeah. 221 00:10:54,398 --> 00:10:55,448 right, right. 222 00:10:55,448 --> 00:10:59,528 You know, but like, oh my gosh, it's incredible. 223 00:10:59,528 --> 00:11:03,848 So first of all, does that work and what are you doing? 224 00:11:03,848 --> 00:11:05,258 Because we've had these 225 00:11:05,258 --> 00:11:06,188 conversations, but I 226 00:11:06,322 --> 00:11:06,612 Kevin Powers: Yeah. 227 00:11:06,788 --> 00:11:07,478 Dallas Burnett: else would like to hear it. 228 00:11:07,857 --> 00:11:09,922 Kevin Powers: It, it, it's really a fascinating business. 229 00:11:09,952 --> 00:11:14,472 it's called Applied So the word applied is pretty straightforward. 230 00:11:14,472 --> 00:11:16,752 Kinesiology is just a study of the muscles. 231 00:11:17,352 --> 00:11:21,312 And, uh, it was developed by a Dr. Go, George Goodhart back in 232 00:11:21,312 --> 00:11:22,992 the thirties of the last century. 233 00:11:23,802 --> 00:11:28,482 And so it, in essence, what we're doing, the body is always in a 234 00:11:28,482 --> 00:11:31,302 process of adaptation, right? 235 00:11:31,782 --> 00:11:33,072 So if it's hot. 236 00:11:33,492 --> 00:11:34,212 We sweat. 237 00:11:34,212 --> 00:11:35,952 If it's cold, we, we warm up. 238 00:11:35,952 --> 00:11:40,172 You know, the body an innate ability to function, right? 239 00:11:40,352 --> 00:11:42,212 So it's called the autonomic nervous system. 240 00:11:42,782 --> 00:11:45,302 It's things happening that we don't control, right? 241 00:11:45,302 --> 00:11:48,332 We don't have to think about our heart rate, our respiration rate. 242 00:11:48,872 --> 00:11:52,687 We're not thinking about, um, how we're digesting our food. 243 00:11:52,832 --> 00:11:54,002 It's all of those things. 244 00:11:54,032 --> 00:11:54,542 Okay? 245 00:11:55,022 --> 00:11:59,462 So the innate intelligence of the body is keeping that system running all the time. 246 00:11:59,462 --> 00:12:01,262 So it's a totally integrated system. 247 00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:01,892 It's really. 248 00:12:02,777 --> 00:12:05,417 I mean, the human body is, is just so phenomenal. 249 00:12:05,777 --> 00:12:09,797 We're still figuring stuff out about it, but the nervous system specifically, 250 00:12:09,797 --> 00:12:14,147 the brain communicates with every cell to the body and back again. 251 00:12:14,147 --> 00:12:18,017 So it's a communication out and there's a feedback loop, right? 252 00:12:18,227 --> 00:12:19,847 We can all kind of understand that. 253 00:12:20,387 --> 00:12:23,417 So I see the brain and nervous system as the software. 254 00:12:24,047 --> 00:12:25,697 The spine is the hardware. 255 00:12:26,057 --> 00:12:26,537 Alright? 256 00:12:26,957 --> 00:12:31,817 So we can tap into that information and then in that system by muscle testing. 257 00:12:32,477 --> 00:12:37,217 So if you have a vertebral misalignment at C two, like you said, it is 258 00:12:37,217 --> 00:12:40,847 creating a certain interference to that communication system. 259 00:12:41,267 --> 00:12:41,777 All right? 260 00:12:42,557 --> 00:12:45,887 But the innate intelligence of the body is able to work around that. 261 00:12:46,157 --> 00:12:48,917 The brain's incredible how it can do a work around. 262 00:12:49,397 --> 00:12:51,197 And we all know about neuroplasticity now. 263 00:12:52,637 --> 00:12:54,827 So it's not really, that's what I'm talking about, but the brain has the 264 00:12:54,827 --> 00:12:56,627 ability to fun keep us functioning. 265 00:12:57,257 --> 00:13:00,017 So you may get up this morning and not feel a hundred percent, but you 266 00:13:00,017 --> 00:13:04,367 still go and you're going, but you have what we call a subluxation complex. 267 00:13:05,027 --> 00:13:08,207 The, the word subluxation just that a vertebra is out of 268 00:13:08,207 --> 00:13:10,607 alignment, but it's not dislocated. 269 00:13:10,967 --> 00:13:13,277 It's a less than a dislocation. 270 00:13:13,607 --> 00:13:18,027 So a sub is less than, but it's causing some nerve interference. 271 00:13:18,657 --> 00:13:19,437 To the body. 272 00:13:19,557 --> 00:13:21,807 All right, so I can muscle test you. 273 00:13:22,287 --> 00:13:27,477 And then when I challenge that vertebra and push it further into a misalignment, 274 00:13:27,927 --> 00:13:29,667 it's like a red flag to the body. 275 00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:33,657 It says up, there's a problem here, but something's making it worse. 276 00:13:34,107 --> 00:13:37,047 It will cause a short circuit in every muscle of your body 277 00:13:37,047 --> 00:13:38,427 for three to five seconds. 278 00:13:38,967 --> 00:13:42,927 And I can feel a little bit of a weakness in that muscle in your hamstring. 279 00:13:43,827 --> 00:13:47,847 And that tells me that's the vertebra that I need to attend to. 280 00:13:48,552 --> 00:13:49,182 Right there. 281 00:13:50,022 --> 00:13:53,802 And you bring up the issue about what needs to be adjusted or not. 282 00:13:53,862 --> 00:13:57,507 Uh, and the specificity of it is a hallmark of Sherman College. 283 00:13:57,507 --> 00:13:59,577 We only adjust the thing that needs adjusted. 284 00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:04,977 there are plenty of practitioners, in, in the world of chiropractic who will 285 00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:09,207 adjust a lot of bones and move things around, and you'll get a lot of noise. 286 00:14:09,537 --> 00:14:12,147 You'll get a lot of endorphin release, and that's awesome. 287 00:14:13,002 --> 00:14:15,702 My belief is that we need to put minimum force into the 288 00:14:15,702 --> 00:14:17,112 body to make the correction. 289 00:14:17,952 --> 00:14:23,292 So I may find that you have a left ileum misalignment, a T six and a C two. 290 00:14:23,352 --> 00:14:28,002 Those are the only things I'm adjusting that day, and so it's minimal input to 291 00:14:28,002 --> 00:14:33,162 the body, but the body can use those forces that I'm putting in for good 292 00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:35,892 to help open up that nerve pathway. 293 00:14:36,252 --> 00:14:37,302 You function better. 294 00:14:37,302 --> 00:14:40,422 Your nervous system functions better, your immune system's stronger. 295 00:14:40,752 --> 00:14:43,062 You're clearer in your brain and your function. 296 00:14:43,362 --> 00:14:48,992 This it, it's just a myriad of stuff that So I hope that gives you 297 00:14:48,992 --> 00:14:50,192 some insight as to what that is. 298 00:14:50,838 --> 00:14:51,208 That is. 299 00:14:51,259 --> 00:14:51,769 Dallas Burnett: amazing. 300 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:52,159 I 301 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,629 love That And we talk about, we talk about being intentional and I mean even 302 00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,939 down to like how you treat patients. 303 00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:00,409 It's so specific. 304 00:15:00,619 --> 00:15:02,029 It's so much more specific. 305 00:15:02,029 --> 00:15:05,069 Even if sometimes you'll go to a chiropractor, they do an x-ray or they'll 306 00:15:05,069 --> 00:15:09,659 do this, they that, but then they end up doing something that affects everything. 307 00:15:09,719 --> 00:15:10,644 And you are the. 308 00:15:11,014 --> 00:15:12,064 Only person that I've gone to. 309 00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:14,764 specific. 310 00:15:15,154 --> 00:15:17,974 And I just love that because I always am like, man, I don't feel 311 00:15:17,974 --> 00:15:19,474 like I'm messing something else up. 312 00:15:19,474 --> 00:15:21,814 it's like when you take the car to the mechanic and you want 'em to work 313 00:15:21,814 --> 00:15:23,614 on your air conditioning, but then all of a sudden you're like, wait 314 00:15:23,614 --> 00:15:25,014 a minute, my fuel light's going on. 315 00:15:25,014 --> 00:15:25,344 Whatever. 316 00:15:25,344 --> 00:15:27,134 You know, I just feel really, really. 317 00:15:27,179 --> 00:15:28,139 It's just really nice. 318 00:15:28,139 --> 00:15:31,589 It's really great and so intentional and so, uh, yeah, that was always, 319 00:15:31,589 --> 00:15:32,609 that was just so fascinating. 320 00:15:32,609 --> 00:15:32,699 Me. 321 00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:35,549 I know there's a little thing that people, if you go to chiropractors, you're 322 00:15:35,549 --> 00:15:36,969 probably like, wow, that's pretty cool. 323 00:15:36,969 --> 00:15:39,369 But, but if you don't go to a chiropractor, well, you, you probably 324 00:15:39,478 --> 00:15:39,768 Kevin Powers: Yeah. 325 00:15:39,789 --> 00:15:39,879 Dallas Burnett: should 326 00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:40,539 probably think about it. 327 00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:42,999 Kevin Powers: there's, yeah, there's one other thing that I can talk 328 00:15:42,999 --> 00:15:44,889 about there that I think is relevant. 329 00:15:44,969 --> 00:15:49,739 so in the world of chiropractic, it, it's, it's very effective at dealing with 330 00:15:49,739 --> 00:15:51,689 people's symptoms in a lot of ways, right? 331 00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:56,309 So if you come, it's the classic low back pain, headache, neck pain scenario. 332 00:15:57,089 --> 00:16:00,399 A chiropractic very effective at dealing with those problems for people. 333 00:16:00,699 --> 00:16:01,119 Right. 334 00:16:01,629 --> 00:16:04,149 But to me that's only that, that's just the beginning. 335 00:16:04,479 --> 00:16:06,909 It's like That's the surface, that's the introduction. 336 00:16:06,909 --> 00:16:08,799 That's what drives people to a chiropractor. 337 00:16:09,579 --> 00:16:13,029 For me, I want to take you from that patient, that pain 338 00:16:13,029 --> 00:16:19,419 management model into a wellness and optimum function level, right? 339 00:16:20,529 --> 00:16:26,529 So if you are a, a businessman, you are, uh, whatever you do, 340 00:16:26,529 --> 00:16:28,119 you're a plumber, whatever it is. 341 00:16:28,794 --> 00:16:32,694 And, you know, you've gotta focus and be able really do your job well that day. 342 00:16:33,649 --> 00:16:37,699 I'm all about having you to be adjusted on some sort of a regular basis. 343 00:16:37,729 --> 00:16:41,569 I wanna maintain that nervous system functioning at your 344 00:16:42,169 --> 00:16:43,999 highest potential, right? 345 00:16:44,479 --> 00:16:48,829 So I have tons of people that come to me that have no symptoms. 346 00:16:50,314 --> 00:16:51,124 Other people just don't. 347 00:16:51,154 --> 00:16:52,804 Well, why, why are you going? 348 00:16:53,584 --> 00:16:57,334 Well, I go because I want to function at as best I possibly 349 00:16:57,334 --> 00:16:58,744 can and not get into trouble. 350 00:16:59,254 --> 00:16:59,704 Right. 351 00:17:00,364 --> 00:17:01,324 And so, 352 00:17:01,905 --> 00:17:02,395 Dallas Burnett: Hundred 353 00:17:02,466 --> 00:17:03,820 Kevin Powers: know, I love American football. 354 00:17:03,894 --> 00:17:06,714 usually watch the college guys more than, uh, the pros. 355 00:17:06,714 --> 00:17:10,164 But I was, I watched Super Bowl and those people are 356 00:17:10,164 --> 00:17:11,484 functioning at that highest level. 357 00:17:11,484 --> 00:17:14,274 Well, I guarantee you there's a chiropractor in every NFL team. 358 00:17:15,174 --> 00:17:16,164 Because they know that they 359 00:17:16,675 --> 00:17:16,915 Dallas Burnett: Oh 360 00:17:16,974 --> 00:17:18,414 Kevin Powers: when they, when they get adjusted. 361 00:17:18,414 --> 00:17:20,004 So that's just an example. 362 00:17:20,544 --> 00:17:25,014 Um, we all in whatever our profession is doing what you do, 363 00:17:25,524 --> 00:17:26,814 you know, you are a busy guy. 364 00:17:26,814 --> 00:17:30,114 You, you know, you've got business dealings, you're traveling family, 365 00:17:30,654 --> 00:17:32,544 everybody's got stuff going on. 366 00:17:33,354 --> 00:17:34,314 And in the modern world, 367 00:17:34,450 --> 00:17:35,020 Dallas Burnett: Yeah. 368 00:17:35,574 --> 00:17:40,484 Kevin Powers: to, uh, keep that at a low e, if you will, and 369 00:17:40,484 --> 00:17:42,194 keep it from overwhelming you. 370 00:17:42,659 --> 00:17:48,299 Stress in a modern society is a big deal, and regular chiropractic care 371 00:17:48,299 --> 00:17:53,662 is, I'm convinced, uh, one of the keys to dealing with that problem. 372 00:17:53,665 --> 00:17:55,885 Dallas Burnett: I think that's so true, and I think that's, for 373 00:17:55,885 --> 00:18:00,075 me, yeah, being proactive and not reactive is obviously, the best. 374 00:18:00,135 --> 00:18:04,395 And so I think that your philosophy on that is so true because, and, 375 00:18:04,395 --> 00:18:05,895 and it's gonna depend on the person. 376 00:18:05,895 --> 00:18:09,075 If you're in an impact sport, you, you should be really, I wish I was, 377 00:18:09,075 --> 00:18:12,045 I wish I'd have known about this when I was in high school and it would 378 00:18:12,045 --> 00:18:15,665 probably have saved me some, pain down the road, if I would've had, some 379 00:18:15,665 --> 00:18:17,415 of that done when I was a young man. 380 00:18:17,445 --> 00:18:19,125 So, um, no, but that's great. 381 00:18:19,125 --> 00:18:21,745 Well, I wanna talk a little bit about, your time at Sherman 382 00:18:21,745 --> 00:18:23,635 because you've seen so many 383 00:18:23,635 --> 00:18:26,065 students come through over the last 20 years. 384 00:18:26,169 --> 00:18:26,349 Kevin Powers: Yeah. 385 00:18:26,395 --> 00:18:26,545 Dallas Burnett: would 386 00:18:26,545 --> 00:18:26,875 love 387 00:18:26,925 --> 00:18:27,975 to just because 388 00:18:28,035 --> 00:18:29,805 a, you're a technical expert. 389 00:18:30,105 --> 00:18:31,575 You never stopped doing. 390 00:18:31,965 --> 00:18:32,745 Chiropractic care. 391 00:18:32,745 --> 00:18:35,535 So you're practicing, but you're also teaching. 392 00:18:35,685 --> 00:18:40,035 So you have this cool mix of you're not only engaging with people on an 393 00:18:40,035 --> 00:18:43,725 everyday basis, that's patients, but you're also engaging with students and 394 00:18:43,725 --> 00:18:46,725 trying to convey the knowledge that you already have and the knowledge that 395 00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:47,775 you're learning with these students. 396 00:18:47,775 --> 00:18:50,235 And so I think that's awesome because it's very applicable. 397 00:18:50,535 --> 00:18:53,665 What was some of the things that you most enjoyed, when you were 398 00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:57,125 in, Sherman and able to interact with, the students at Sherman? 399 00:18:57,133 --> 00:18:59,113 Kevin Powers: young people, and I can say that now 'cause 400 00:18:59,113 --> 00:19:00,673 I'm not a young person anymore. 401 00:19:01,483 --> 00:19:05,983 you know, they come in with a. Great enthusiasm for the profession. 402 00:19:05,983 --> 00:19:09,823 You know, they've either been to a chiropractor or they've had an 403 00:19:09,823 --> 00:19:15,343 experience with one, and they see the value in what chiropractors can bring 404 00:19:15,343 --> 00:19:17,413 to their, to a community or whatever. 405 00:19:18,163 --> 00:19:20,233 a lot of energy there, which was really good for me. 406 00:19:20,233 --> 00:19:23,863 You know, you get around young people and they're, they're fired up and it's 407 00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:25,783 like, oh yeah, let's not lose the plot. 408 00:19:26,613 --> 00:19:26,913 so. 409 00:19:28,968 --> 00:19:31,758 Uh, 'cause we can get awfully distracted with stuff. 410 00:19:32,298 --> 00:19:36,738 So to take those folks and say, you know, they can hardly find 411 00:19:36,738 --> 00:19:38,268 a C two vertebra on a spine. 412 00:19:38,268 --> 00:19:42,228 I mean, palpation, feeling what's going on in there is, is a key part of what we do. 413 00:19:42,708 --> 00:19:44,028 And to bring them along. 414 00:19:44,028 --> 00:19:46,278 And then suddenly you see the light go on. 415 00:19:46,278 --> 00:19:48,828 Be, oh, that's how that works. 416 00:19:49,458 --> 00:19:51,828 Oh, this is what we need to do in this situation. 417 00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:56,118 And give them all these different scenarios and bring them from. 418 00:19:56,658 --> 00:20:01,338 You know, completely unaware of how the spine works to a place 419 00:20:01,338 --> 00:20:03,828 where they can do a good analysis. 420 00:20:04,248 --> 00:20:07,848 You know, we were graduating people that were very competent chiropractors 421 00:20:07,848 --> 00:20:09,408 before they ever left school. 422 00:20:10,278 --> 00:20:11,328 And so that was 423 00:20:11,748 --> 00:20:13,518 one of the things that I was always about. 424 00:20:14,778 --> 00:20:18,528 I pushed the cohorts that I had to towards excellence. 425 00:20:19,143 --> 00:20:19,623 Right. 426 00:20:20,073 --> 00:20:23,703 I said, I don't want you to just fall out of chiropractic school. 427 00:20:23,913 --> 00:20:28,953 I want you to jump outta here feeling totally ready to go. 428 00:20:29,493 --> 00:20:34,143 And that every student that I had personally responsibility for, I can 429 00:20:34,143 --> 00:20:38,103 say that wherever the com, whatever community they're in, and wherever they're 430 00:20:38,103 --> 00:20:42,573 practicing, I know their practice members are getting excellent chiropractic care. 431 00:20:42,573 --> 00:20:45,603 And to me that was a big deal. 432 00:20:45,603 --> 00:20:47,253 I mean, as a, as an individual. 433 00:20:48,243 --> 00:20:50,913 Yes, I'm touching your life, your family's life. 434 00:20:51,123 --> 00:20:55,033 The, the patients that come to me today, uh, I don't know how many 435 00:20:55,033 --> 00:20:59,613 students was directly responsible for, but I am indirectly impacting 436 00:20:59,673 --> 00:21:01,293 all of their practice members. 437 00:21:01,953 --> 00:21:06,783 And that blew my mind when I finally realized that I was, oh, now you're 438 00:21:06,783 --> 00:21:08,288 doing something worthwhile power. 439 00:21:08,638 --> 00:21:09,528 This is, this is good. 440 00:21:09,918 --> 00:21:12,118 You it was just a huge deal. 441 00:21:12,118 --> 00:21:16,948 So you had to take the enthusiasm of the student and mold them into something 442 00:21:16,948 --> 00:21:19,468 where you, this was the other thing. 443 00:21:20,518 --> 00:21:22,588 Take them from the mindset of a student. 444 00:21:23,038 --> 00:21:27,208 'cause they've come out of undergrad and then we put 'em in this doctoral 445 00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:29,008 program, which is a meat grinder. 446 00:21:29,068 --> 00:21:32,578 Honestly, it's, it's, you know, a four year doctoral degree. 447 00:21:33,508 --> 00:21:37,348 You've gotta stay on point and you, you work hard to get through that thing. 448 00:21:38,078 --> 00:21:41,978 And then to mold them out of a student mentality into, now you've 449 00:21:41,978 --> 00:21:43,418 gotta start thinking like a doctor. 450 00:21:44,408 --> 00:21:47,793 It, and it's, it's different and, and you've gotta take on the mantle of it 451 00:21:48,423 --> 00:21:52,803 because patients have an expectation that you know what you are doing and 452 00:21:52,803 --> 00:21:54,753 that they're looking to you for advice. 453 00:21:54,783 --> 00:21:55,533 And so 454 00:21:55,953 --> 00:21:58,818 that was another deal to me to them into that professional mindset. 455 00:21:58,956 --> 00:22:00,306 Dallas Burnett: I think that's so valuable. 456 00:22:00,306 --> 00:22:04,866 you enjoyed the interaction with the students, their energy, this kind of 457 00:22:04,926 --> 00:22:07,926 like what they brought and then you could bring your expertise to bear 458 00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:09,246 on that so they didn't lose the plot. 459 00:22:09,246 --> 00:22:10,146 I love how you say that. 460 00:22:10,146 --> 00:22:10,806 That's so true. 461 00:22:10,856 --> 00:22:13,866 And, but on the flip side, as you go through it, you start 462 00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:15,456 realizing like the ripple 463 00:22:15,456 --> 00:22:16,001 that you have. 464 00:22:16,421 --> 00:22:17,621 It just got so much 465 00:22:17,915 --> 00:22:18,305 Kevin Powers: Yes. 466 00:22:18,791 --> 00:22:21,221 Dallas Burnett: because now you're training the people who are 467 00:22:21,221 --> 00:22:25,361 helping communities on and on and on, and it just goes on and on. 468 00:22:25,361 --> 00:22:27,281 So that, that's really, that's really cool. 469 00:22:27,371 --> 00:22:27,846 That's really good. 470 00:22:29,151 --> 00:22:32,856 so I would love to, I would love to talk a little bit about too, 'cause I think 471 00:22:32,856 --> 00:22:35,286 this is where we get into, and I think you've already said some takeaways. 472 00:22:35,286 --> 00:22:37,446 So if you listen to the last 10%, you may have said, well, wait a minute, how 473 00:22:37,446 --> 00:22:41,106 has this got to do with leading people and how has this gotta to do with what 474 00:22:41,106 --> 00:22:41,256 I'm 475 00:22:41,305 --> 00:22:41,525 Kevin Powers: Hmm. 476 00:22:41,736 --> 00:22:44,016 Dallas Burnett: and leading teams and coaching and whatnot. 477 00:22:44,256 --> 00:22:46,736 I think you've already heard a couple things that, Kevin's. 478 00:22:47,006 --> 00:22:50,576 Told us that are just really interesting to me and as it 479 00:22:50,576 --> 00:22:52,106 relates to leadership and coaching. 480 00:22:52,106 --> 00:22:56,846 Number one, he said earlier about how the body is always in a process of adaptation. 481 00:22:57,146 --> 00:23:02,576 I think that as leaders that, that we've, we may not see that so 482 00:23:02,576 --> 00:23:05,906 many times as we're leading teams, as we're leading organizations, 483 00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:08,066 is that everything that we do. 484 00:23:08,306 --> 00:23:10,556 Is causing people to react and adapt. 485 00:23:10,826 --> 00:23:14,276 And no matter if it's how they're sitting at their desk, it's a 486 00:23:14,276 --> 00:23:16,316 physical example in their ergonomics. 487 00:23:16,496 --> 00:23:19,266 Or it could be, the snacks that we're providing, or it could 488 00:23:19,266 --> 00:23:21,876 be the meetings and the stress that we're putting people under. 489 00:23:22,146 --> 00:23:25,626 But it's understanding that whatever we do as a leader to. 490 00:23:25,836 --> 00:23:29,556 To our team, with our team, through our team is going to cause their 491 00:23:29,556 --> 00:23:33,276 bodies physically to do some type of adaptation to keep going. 492 00:23:33,276 --> 00:23:36,576 And I think that, just being aware of that and that mindset of what am I 493 00:23:36,576 --> 00:23:41,556 doing that's actually pushing my team to adapt in ways that are not only helpful 494 00:23:41,556 --> 00:23:43,446 for them, but helpful for our team. 495 00:23:43,446 --> 00:23:44,946 And what am I doing on the flip side? 496 00:23:45,446 --> 00:23:50,306 What am I doing to my team that's causing them to potentially adapt in ways, those 497 00:23:50,306 --> 00:23:51,956 Unintended consequences. 498 00:23:51,984 --> 00:23:54,954 Dallas Burnett: that we don't, that we don't know, We didn't know was gonna 499 00:23:54,954 --> 00:23:57,894 happen when we did this thing, when we implemented this new program, or 500 00:23:57,894 --> 00:23:59,784 we did, we, we took this program away. 501 00:24:00,034 --> 00:24:01,084 So I think that's one thing. 502 00:24:01,364 --> 00:24:08,174 I also think that your drive towards, higher impact and purpose just, I think, 503 00:24:08,174 --> 00:24:13,234 fueled you to do what you did well in developing others like you saw The higher 504 00:24:13,234 --> 00:24:17,794 order, which you know, obviously is what you know is one of the reasons that you 505 00:24:17,794 --> 00:24:20,374 could tell that because you not only care about the profession and feel like 506 00:24:20,374 --> 00:24:23,884 the profession is worthy and there's purpose there, but you're calling to other 507 00:24:23,884 --> 00:24:26,104 people to live through that excellence. 508 00:24:26,104 --> 00:24:28,384 Like we were going to operate in this standard of excellence. 509 00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:31,054 You're calling them to this higher standard and then you get to see the 510 00:24:31,084 --> 00:24:34,054 fruit of that as they go out into the communities I think is something 511 00:24:34,054 --> 00:24:35,224 that leaders should really be. 512 00:24:35,324 --> 00:24:41,624 Focused on in finding in their own teams and their own leadership finding where 513 00:24:41,624 --> 00:24:43,754 are you in that hierarchy of purpose? 514 00:24:43,754 --> 00:24:47,174 You know, do you see the value that you're providing to society? 515 00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:50,564 And then how are you calling others to live at this standard 516 00:24:50,564 --> 00:24:54,029 of excellence so we can ripple, so we can get ripples, you know? 517 00:24:54,374 --> 00:24:56,924 And, I think that's been, I mean, that's what coaching is all about. 518 00:24:56,924 --> 00:24:58,574 we have coaches that. 519 00:24:59,549 --> 00:25:03,469 to shows and have one-on-one coaching systems in the app and the whole deal. 520 00:25:03,709 --> 00:25:04,534 And part of that is just. 521 00:25:05,414 --> 00:25:07,834 is being a ripple, is creating that ripple. 522 00:25:07,864 --> 00:25:08,484 And yeah. 523 00:25:08,484 --> 00:25:09,654 So I think that's really great. 524 00:25:09,684 --> 00:25:10,824 I think that's fantastic. 525 00:25:10,824 --> 00:25:14,724 So let's talk a little bit about your business savvy, because you 526 00:25:14,724 --> 00:25:17,424 operate your practice very different. 527 00:25:17,764 --> 00:25:20,734 most chiropractics I go to, they'll have the front office 528 00:25:20,734 --> 00:25:23,394 staff and they got the rooms in the back and it's the whole thing. 529 00:25:23,814 --> 00:25:24,174 And. 530 00:25:24,514 --> 00:25:25,564 you don't do that. 531 00:25:25,564 --> 00:25:26,734 and it's very unique. 532 00:25:26,734 --> 00:25:30,604 And so I would love for you to say kind of your philosophy, because I find it 533 00:25:30,634 --> 00:25:33,454 in, I find it fascinating and it works. 534 00:25:33,454 --> 00:25:35,664 So tell us a little bit about your philosophy. 535 00:25:35,883 --> 00:25:37,353 Kevin Powers: That's really what comes to mind. 536 00:25:37,353 --> 00:25:42,733 I mean, with what we do, you, you can use a lot of different, uh, equipment 537 00:25:42,733 --> 00:25:46,203 and stuff and, tons of docs who have, you great practices that use sorts 538 00:25:46,203 --> 00:25:50,503 of things, uh, modalities, you know, got heat pad that sort of stuff. 539 00:25:50,893 --> 00:25:55,873 So for me it's, it is very simple in the sense that I have an adjusting 540 00:25:55,873 --> 00:26:00,193 table, a desk and a chair and a, and a basic little And, and that's about it. 541 00:26:00,788 --> 00:26:06,128 Um, but even when I was practicing full time, before I started teaching, I never 542 00:26:06,128 --> 00:26:10,398 had more than one, um, like assistant, like chiropractic assistant, front 543 00:26:10,398 --> 00:26:12,468 person, you know, front desk person. 544 00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:17,384 because I wanted them to be interactive with my patient base too. 545 00:26:18,014 --> 00:26:20,654 And we never had a situation where. 546 00:26:21,164 --> 00:26:24,464 They were behind a glass petition, that type of thing. 547 00:26:25,364 --> 00:26:29,354 That drives me crazy when I go to a, a doctor's office and you've gotta 548 00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:30,584 look through this little window, you. 549 00:26:30,584 --> 00:26:32,984 know, it's almost like they're scared to see you. 550 00:26:34,034 --> 00:26:36,974 For us, it was like, we're here as a healing art. 551 00:26:36,974 --> 00:26:40,094 And it's not just about the adjustment, but how you, how you 552 00:26:40,094 --> 00:26:41,724 interact, how you answer the phone. 553 00:26:42,504 --> 00:26:43,944 it it's things like that. 554 00:26:43,944 --> 00:26:46,134 And when I had a CIO, I'd say, look. 555 00:26:47,004 --> 00:26:49,554 You've gotta remember the person calling and may have a migraine 556 00:26:49,554 --> 00:26:54,054 today, and they're not gonna respond in a very nice way necessarily. 557 00:26:54,294 --> 00:26:56,484 We've gotta, we've gotta treat people where they're at. 558 00:26:57,114 --> 00:27:01,944 So, keeping it down to now where I'm at, where I'm just, you know, part-time 559 00:27:01,944 --> 00:27:05,250 hours, I take my own appointments, you know, I've had a couple of 560 00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:06,810 calls this morning from people. 561 00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:10,800 I answer the phone, I make the appointments, I talk to them, 562 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,735 we, you know, we, figure out what, when they need to come. 563 00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:17,355 As you know, you come into my office, I've got a one room setup. 564 00:27:17,405 --> 00:27:18,995 it's, 12 by 14 room. 565 00:27:19,295 --> 00:27:23,355 I share a space in an office building, where I tap in you know, 566 00:27:23,355 --> 00:27:26,235 I pay the, my landlord a flat fee. 567 00:27:26,775 --> 00:27:28,695 I tap into this high speed internet. 568 00:27:29,475 --> 00:27:30,765 you know, I'm an old school guy. 569 00:27:30,765 --> 00:27:34,155 I still keep a paper file, which is, seems absurd to a lot of 570 00:27:34,155 --> 00:27:35,475 people, but it works for me. 571 00:27:36,375 --> 00:27:37,845 so, you know. 572 00:27:38,505 --> 00:27:40,755 We, I take care of the, of the client. 573 00:27:40,755 --> 00:27:42,795 You know, you come in, what's going on? 574 00:27:43,555 --> 00:27:48,595 we, I do my thing and then I take a payment and we set up another appointment 575 00:27:48,595 --> 00:27:53,425 if that's what you choose and you're out the door and it's seven to 10 minutes. 576 00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:55,095 but I give one. 577 00:27:55,546 --> 00:27:55,891 Dallas Burnett: That's right. 578 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,810 Kevin Powers: care in that seven to 10 minutes. 579 00:27:57,810 --> 00:28:02,240 And, you know, it works And, it's, the overhead is very low. 580 00:28:02,270 --> 00:28:09,005 Um, you know, I, my business model is very simple and you know, I'm thankful 581 00:28:09,005 --> 00:28:10,955 I, don't have to work real hard anymore. 582 00:28:10,955 --> 00:28:13,835 I'm not trying to crank a volume of people through my office. 583 00:28:13,835 --> 00:28:14,825 That's not the goal. 584 00:28:15,035 --> 00:28:16,685 It's the very opposite of anything. 585 00:28:17,450 --> 00:28:21,320 You know, I wanna be able to hang out with you and how are the girls doing? 586 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960 And, you know, what's happening in Florida? 587 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,590 Uh, I wanna I want that interaction and it, it brings to mind, mate, one of 588 00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:36,400 the key things for me is, um, if any of your listeners and go study this, the 589 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,490 science of So this has come along in the last 10 or 15 years, maybe 20 years. 590 00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:50,110 Where we now know that our words have an in a direct impact on how 591 00:28:50,140 --> 00:28:53,200 the genetic helix functions, right? 592 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,520 How it, how it operates. 593 00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:57,100 So here's the context. 594 00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,270 If I get up today and it's a rainy day and I say, ah, it's a rainy day. 595 00:29:01,570 --> 00:29:02,740 I don't like this. 596 00:29:03,370 --> 00:29:07,750 Don't wanna go to work, that's having a negative impact on how my body functions. 597 00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:08,980 Right. 598 00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:14,000 but, so they'll, conversely, if I say, well, it's a rainy day, that's great. 599 00:29:14,030 --> 00:29:18,200 I'm glad it's raining, because we need the rain and I'm choosing 600 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,640 them to have a a good day. 601 00:29:19,970 --> 00:29:23,930 So for me, words are containers and we've gotta be very careful about 602 00:29:23,930 --> 00:29:28,130 what we say and how we say it, because we can truly impact how the 603 00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:34,310 body functions well, or it has a negative impact on that genetic helix. 604 00:29:35,375 --> 00:29:36,605 This stuff blows my mind. 605 00:29:36,605 --> 00:29:41,555 I mean, we're talking about quantum physics now, but it's, it's a reality. 606 00:29:41,955 --> 00:29:46,155 so I was always taught to have a positive mental attitude, right? 607 00:29:46,905 --> 00:29:51,285 Go listen to Zig Ziglar or whatever, someone, and that was great, but 608 00:29:51,285 --> 00:29:54,570 now it's, you know, zigs gone. 609 00:29:54,570 --> 00:29:57,285 But I mean, he had a huge infl influence on us. 610 00:29:57,885 --> 00:30:01,395 And so, But now we know this is a science that's provable. 611 00:30:02,145 --> 00:30:02,565 So. 612 00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:06,165 What you experience when you come into my office is always going to 613 00:30:06,165 --> 00:30:09,255 be a, a positive note, you know? 614 00:30:09,915 --> 00:30:10,185 Yeah. 615 00:30:10,185 --> 00:30:13,575 Look, if you come and you are in severe pain, I'm not gonna give 616 00:30:13,575 --> 00:30:15,615 you a Pollyanna answer about that. 617 00:30:15,615 --> 00:30:18,495 I'm gonna say, yeah, look, there's a problem here, but we have a 618 00:30:18,495 --> 00:30:22,950 solution and we will work on this the next six or eight weeks. 619 00:30:23,115 --> 00:30:26,595 And I'm, I, I don't say to people unless I know I can. 620 00:30:26,595 --> 00:30:28,065 I don't say to them, I, can help you. 621 00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:32,640 Because if people come and I can see that I cannot help them, I'm gonna 622 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,260 say, look, no, you need a surgeon. 623 00:30:34,260 --> 00:30:38,520 You need a neurologist, you need another discipline. 624 00:30:39,450 --> 00:30:45,000 And I guess it's a hallmark of, of what people would say about me is 625 00:30:45,450 --> 00:30:49,770 Thank you doc, for telling me the truth that you are not the right guy for me. 626 00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:52,935 And I.
