In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable.
Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice.
The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why.
Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great.
This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you.
"When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield
Weekly Action Steps:Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on.
Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in?
Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day.
Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality.
Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging.
Listen, share, and rise above comfort.

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ dive deep into what separates those who talk about success from those who live it.
From the story of a young man in 1926 who traveled halfway across the world to become a chiropractor, to BJ Palmer's unmatched foresight and discipline, the Schofields remind us that greatness is never accidental. It's the result of repetition, consistency, and action.....done today, not tomorrow.
Dr. Fred shares the forgotten truth that "the visual component is 33% of the adjustment," and how what surrounds you, your environment, your mindset, your words, directly impacts your results. Meanwhile, Dr. FJ breaks down the most common trap in chiropractic and in life: waiting for the "perfect moment."
"Don't worry about doing it every day. Just do it today." – Dr. FJ Schofield
The conversation expands beyond chiropractic into the universal law of action, how space, time, and repetition shape every result in your health, your practice, and your life. From bootcamp discipline to the art of showing up, the Schofields challenge every listener to stop thinking and start doing.
Weekly Action Steps:Move Today: Lace up your shoes and go for a 10-minute walk. Don't plan it—just do it.
Anchor Your Mind: Add one quote or visual reminder in your adjusting room that inspires focus and intention.
Take Imperfect Action: Pick one thing you've been putting off in your practice—training your team, raising your fees, calling that patient—and do it now.
Because success doesn't wait for motivation. It responds to motion.
Listen, share, and start your momentum today.
