So I met Maria speaking at DGE Brisbane. I went on stage straight after her which was awesome as we were both discussing a very important topic in chiropractic... MARKETING!
You know that dirty word people don't like to hear about.
What was shocking to me was that when Maria asked the crowd of 80 chiropractors who had a written marketing plan only 5 peoples hand went up. What!?
Dr. Maria runs a very strong Chiropractic practise and is passionate about spreading the message in her community and helping other Docs do the same. She books over 100 people to her regular wellness talks and is proof that niche marketing is the most effective way to get people in front of you to hear the message.
Listen to the episode to find out how to determine your ideal niche client and where to find them and get them in the door.

This interview was done a little while ago now so I'm stoked to release it. Chris is awesome.. read below to find out why.
When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them:
I build Propaganda Machines that distribute your message into the community, make your ideas stick, influence your target market, manufacture desire and trust, position you as a celebrity and authority figure all while driving massive sales into your business.
But what I really want to say is:
“I show entrepreneurs how to make a shit load of money dominating their market.”
I'm Chris Burfield, founder of VanBurf Media I work with entrepreneurs who struggle to make their voice heard in a noisy marketplace and are looking to absolutely dominate their market, make more sales and create a tribe of raving fans, while having some serious fun!
And when it comes to turning business owners into local celebrities and respected authority figures, I’m the real McCoy, boiiiiiiii!

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the leading holistic medical practitioners Dr. Jack Wolfson best selling author of "The Paleo Cardiologist" and owner of the Wolfs integrative cardiology centre.
The realization hit me that medical doctors were not preventing disease but only attempting to treat symptoms. In 2004, I met the most amazing woman who would soon become my wife. Heather is a chiropractor and has a heavy focus on nutrition and healthy, chemical free living. Since meeting her, I have changed my whole life and medical practice style. I have switched from the sickness paradigm to one of health and wellness. I read countless books, studied hundreds of articles, and attended as many conferences as possible. I met with natural doctors including chiropractors, homeopaths,naturopaths and different types of healers (at which most medical docs would scoff). I immersed myself in the natural lifestyle. Most importantly, I opened my mind from the brainwashing of medical training.
My explicit goal in treating patients is finding the cause of disease instead of using the band-aid approach. The CAUSE is the CURE. In 2012, I decided to leave the large cardiology group and open Wolfson Integrative Cardiology. Heather and I have two beautiful, healthy boys, Noah and Brody, and our rescue Lab mix, Sal. Our sons were born at home with a midwife. Neither have ever taken a pharmaceutical, prescribed or OTC. We practice attachment parenting, eat organic food, and instill a natural lifestyle into our children. We enjoy all the outdoor activities available in Phoenix. Heather and I together are The Drs. Wolfson and our motto is “Awakening the World to Wellness”.
Hope you enjoy the episode with Dr. Jack. Find out more at https://www.wolfsonintegrativecardiology.com/ LISTEN TO THE EPISODE BELOW Download episode here

A word from Marcus...
"I never thought I would grow up to be helping people live exceptional lives. In my former life I was a sports-mad workaholic journalist, radio and television producer. That life included an obsession with AFL football, which led me to create The Run Home on Victorian all-sports station SEN 1116, and work as an associate producer at Channel Nine’s The Footy Show. That life also included years as a smoking, binge-drinking, overweight, pimply statistic-waiting-to-happen.
The beginning of the revolution came when I met my now-wife Sarah, a wellness chiropractor. Embarking not just on a magnificent relationship but a complete lifestyle and philosophical change, I began to slowly take away my least healthy habits (hopping in to bed smelling of cigarette smoke wasn’t great for the relationship!) and replace them with life-enhancing, empowering ones. The transformation from an addicted smoker to extreme vegan (sometimes raw) and now back again to somewhere in the middle (also known as Just Eat Real Food) also helped me realise that diet was not the nirvava of living and long-life, as it’s made out to be. I began to recognise through my research that there are other more important factors to living than diet alone! Fancy that! After years of research I created the Exceptional Life Blueprint to teach people exactly what that research presented, and most importantly, how everyday people like you and me can live an exceptional life.
Today I find myself inspired to teach people the difference between mediocrity and exceptional living. I do this through my podcasts, blogs, online programs, coaching, live events, webinars and so on. I’m big on teaching people not to silently approve what we read in the papers and online, watch on TV and listen to on the radio. Instead, I’m about relentlessly challenging people to be their own person, their own “scientific researcher”, their own creator of health, so that they can live their life on their own terms and not someone else’s.
On a personal note I reside just outside of Byron Bay with my wife Sarah and our two beautiful children, Maya and Darby. I’m the eldest of three (I have two gorgeous sisters, Olivia and Georgia) and live within a functionally blended family including step-parents, step-siblings and so on.
I wear two professional hats – one as the founder of the Exceptional Life Blueprint – an 8-step process to creating a magnificent life – and CEO of The Wellness Couch podcast network, Australia’s #1 podcast network with over 1.5 million annual downloads. I co-host two of those podcasts, ‘100 Not Out’ and Inside The Champion’s Mind."
