Ideas should
change what
happens
next.
Matthew Dairman and Chris Milkie bring the thinking behind geniusDPM to stages, workshops, podcasts, organizations, and teams.
Their goal isn’t simply to deliver information. It’s to help people see something differently, start a better conversation, and leave with an idea they can actually use.

Make people think. Then give them something to do with it.
Most professional audiences don’t need more information. They need a better way to see the information they already have.
geniusDPM presentations combine practical experience, memorable frameworks, thoughtful questions, humor, storytelling, and audience participation to turn complicated ideas into conversations people remember.
The goal isn’t motivation that disappears by Monday. It’s a useful idea that changes what happens next.
See Differently
Challenge assumptions and uncover what may be hiding in plain sight.
Think Clearly
Turn complicated ideas into frameworks people can understand and remember.
Act Differently
Translate insight into something useful when the audience returns to work.
Topics built around the work behind the work.
Every audience is different. Presentations can be adapted to the organization, event, and conversation you want to create.
How practice owners can move beyond simply working harder and begin designing practices that perform better while supporting the lives of the people who own them.
A practical way to look at five critical switches inside a practice.
How better leadership changes teams, decision-making, accountability, execution, and the experience of owning a practice.
How trust moves through an organization, where it gets lost, and how seemingly small moments can shape patient experience, team workload, reputation, and performance.
How practice owners can identify where they have become the constraint and create greater capacity through people, systems, leadership, and better design.
Practical ideas about mindset, communication, happiness, ownership, behavior, and performance that influence what happens inside organizations.
Different audiences need different conversations.

Built in podiatry. Relevant far beyond it.
geniusDPM was born from decades of clinical practice and practice ownership. That makes podiatry and healthcare a natural home for many of these conversations.
But the ideas behind leadership, trust, ownership, communication, capacity, performance, and building better organizations extend beyond a single profession.
- Podiatrists and foot & ankle surgeons
- Healthcare professionals
- Practice owners
- Medical associations
- Professional organizations
- Leadership groups
- Healthcare teams
- Entrepreneurial communities
A presentation should keep working after it ends.
The best presentations don’t end with applause. They continue in the hallway. They show up in the next team meeting.
Someone repeats the question. Someone draws the framework on a whiteboard. Someone notices something in their practice they had stopped seeing.
That is the standard.
Not more information. A better conversation.
The ideas come from doing the work.
Matthew Dairman and Chris Milkie are podiatrists, entrepreneurs, educators, coaches, and longtime practice owners.
geniusDPM grew from decades spent building practices, leading teams, making mistakes, solving problems, teaching colleagues, and learning what happens when good ideas collide with the realities of running a business.
That experience gives their presentations a practical foundation. They aren’t speaking about practice ownership from the sidelines. They’ve lived it.
