This is a short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video in which speakers (including Jeff Langmaid) discuss the isolation many chiropractors feel and the importance of community and peer connections that are season-appropriate and experience-informed. The speaker emphasizes meaningful, relevant connection with peers and mentors who have ’been through it’ and can guide others through business challenges.
I think as a chiropractor, you know, it can be very lonely out there. And if you're there right now, I just want to throw an arm around you and just say, it doesn't have to be that way. And so, Jeff, we recognize that, you know, doctors needed a few things, and one of them was community. But it was being in a community of doctors, as you just alluded, that are in the same season as me. That's how you create those connections, because it's about connection. Human beings are hardwired for connection. We need connection, but we need meaningful connection. We need connection that's relevant at this time because, you know, when you're walking it out, when you're in the midst of it the business, it feels like sometimes you're in the midst of the fire. You need to be in it with the same people that are in it and with somebody who has went through it and is on the other side who can help you through it.
