Hosted by Michael Schumacher - HMDG · business · EN-GB
This is the podcast clinic owners listen to when they’re done with gurus, funnels, blueprints, and templates pretending to be strategy. No hacks. No 'proven' 10X systems. This comes from HMDG. We have worked with more than 1,000 MSK clinics. We see the accounts, the utilisation rates, the failed ideas, the profitable ideas, and the reality behind the noise. We do not deal in theory. We deal in numbers. Most of the industry advice collapses the moment it hits real-world finances. You get the truth about how clinics actually grow. Why some print money while others burn out. What patient numbers mean once you stop pretending templates can fix capacity problems or that “mindset” builds a business. The idea that a clinic becomes successful because someone journalled harder is fantasy. We talk to people who have actually achieved something. Multi-site owners. True specialists. People with real P&Ls, not testimonial slides about a “life-changing £30k month
