All right, Shaq, hey man, thanks for hanging out with me. I appreciate it.
Yeah, for sure, man. I appreciate you for having me on.
Dude, this is gonna be fun. I don't even care. Like I don't even care about the rest of this. I've already had so much fun before we started recording that all of the rest of this is just icing on the cake.
Yeah, I agree. I agree.
So I do want to tell you something, that has nothing to do with Instagram or chiropractors or anything else. And that is when I was a kid, I was very insecure about the name Jerry. I felt like it was kind of dorky and not cool. And I have not felt that way in a long time until I talked to a guy named Shaq and now you, you open, you, you picked a scab and I immediately feel very uncool about my name. And I haven't felt that way in a long time. So thank you for that.
Dude, okay, let me clear this up for you. Okay, my actual name, I'm gonna just throw this out there, is Shakur, like Tupac Shakur. So Shakur Smith is my full name, but it's just easier to remember Shaq, because everybody knows Shaquille O'Neal, so. Okay, I'm sorry.
Bro, doesn't, that doesn't help me. Both of those are much cooler than Jerry. Tell me one famous rapper named Jerry. None. Well, sure. Yeah, sure. Like Jerry Rice, Jerry Stackhouse, like Jerry Seinfeld. You know, yeah.
Look to your famous athlete.
Yeah, because Jerry Springer was popular around the time where I was like a teenager and there was a lot of like Jerry Jerry. I got a lot of that but I don't think that's cool either. It's very white trash. Now you know what do you do. So we're going to we're going to talk about Instagram. We're going to kind of get into this a little bit. I have a thought I have a thought about this about that I want you to kind of confirm or deny whether you feel the same way about it.
When I was getting started as a chiropractor, there was, this was, graduated in 2004 and at that time there seemed to be this uncertainty about whether chiropractors even needed a website, which I know it sounds super bizarre this day and age, but we were sort of transitioning out of the old world into the new world. And it was like, do we even need a website? And we've gotten to the point now where chiropractors are very, very sure that they need a website, but I am very convinced having done websites for chiropractors that most chiropractors don't know why they need one. So they get one, but they don't, they've never really thought about why, and there's no real strategy as to why they're doing it.
They're just doing it because they know they're supposed to do it. So you probably see where I'm going already, but so now we have social media and we have Instagram, we have Facebook, we have all this stuff.
Man, there's a lot. So I'll start off with this. People have to know you exist. They have to know you exist. And one of the fastest and to me, to me, one of the fastest and cheapest ways for you to do that is through social media because that's where most of the attention is at right now. I mean, for any chiropractor that's even listening to this, you're on social media. I know you are, right? Like you're literally showing with yourself that social media is where the attention is at. So that's one thing is you have to go to where the attention is at in order to be recognized first and foremost. ... (continues based on full transcript length)
