EP 422: Dr. Josh Bonine: Fatherhood & Building 5 Chiropractic Practices After Rock Bottom
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Josh Bonine for one of the most raw and vulnerable conversations ever featured on the podcast.
Years ago, Dr. Bonine found himself navigating a devastating divorce, mounting legal expenses, overwhelming stress, alcohol dependence, and the challenge of keeping his chiropractic practice alive while fighting for time with his children.
Today?
He owns five chiropractic practices across Texas, leads a growing team, helps other chiropractors through personal and professional transitions, and has become a powerful advocate for fathers, mental health, recovery, and authentic connection.
This episode goes far beyond practice growth.
It's a conversation about identity, addiction, fatherhood, divorce, entrepreneurship, purpose, healing, and the courage required to rebuild your life when everything seems to be falling apart.
