AI Tools, PT Skills: What Clinicians Need Now

AI Tools, PT Skills: What Clinicians Need Now
What do HVAC techs, dentists, and high-performing PTs have in common? Turns out, they’re all using AI tools to level up how they communicate, evaluate, and deliver results.

In this raw, honest conversation, Jimmy, Dave, and Tony break down how PTs can reframe “sales” as clinical confidence, why recording evaluations might be the best training tool we’re ignoring, and how this tech is already reshaping onboarding, CPGs, and practice growth.

???? Topics Covered:
  • Why PTs struggle with "sales" (and what to say instead)
  • Real-time eval reviews + audio feedback loops
  • CPG updates driven by tech & documentation
  • How other industries train better, faster
  • Graham Sessions preview: questions that matter

00:00:00.249 --> 00:00:02.149
You're listening to the PT Pinecast,

00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:04.291
where smart people in healthcare come to

00:00:04.331 --> 00:00:05.150
make noise.

00:00:05.532 --> 00:00:07.091
Here's your host, Jimmy McKay.

00:00:09.913 --> 00:00:10.753
Played the wrong intro.

00:00:10.974 --> 00:00:11.634
Correct intro.

00:00:11.675 --> 00:00:12.074
Take two.

00:00:14.115 --> 00:00:16.757
Broadcasting way too early from three

00:00:16.797 --> 00:00:18.257
separate Wi-Fi connections.

00:00:18.678 --> 00:00:21.980
It's PT Breakfast Club with Tony Meritato,

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.341
Dave Kittle, and Jimmy McKay.

00:00:29.713 --> 00:00:30.434
That's a little better.

00:00:30.474 --> 00:00:32.475
Good morning, physical therapy.

00:00:32.554 --> 00:00:33.914
Double intro.

00:00:35.494 --> 00:00:37.615
Do we get double the sponsorship?

00:00:37.655 --> 00:00:39.115
You're going to love today's sponsors.

00:00:39.195 --> 00:00:40.795
I've decided to keep them all in one

00:00:40.856 --> 00:00:41.256
theme.

00:00:41.295 --> 00:00:43.536
The sponsors have decided to come

00:00:43.557 --> 00:00:44.796
together, so we got one theme.

00:00:45.076 --> 00:00:45.697
Today,

00:00:46.116 --> 00:00:47.396
it's the only morning show where we talk

00:00:47.417 --> 00:00:49.457
about the business, the tech, the money,

00:00:49.898 --> 00:00:51.557
and the systems quietly rewriting your

00:00:51.578 --> 00:00:53.179
career while you're still explaining

00:00:53.298 --> 00:00:54.878
clamshells to someone named Bob.

00:00:55.639 --> 00:00:55.979
Today,

00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:58.640
why a billion-dollar tech company says PT

00:00:58.701 --> 00:01:02.042
first while actively replacing physical

00:01:02.084 --> 00:01:02.503
therapists.

00:01:03.264 --> 00:01:05.105
How Dave accidentally got discovered by

00:01:05.165 --> 00:01:06.305
artificial intelligence.

00:01:06.465 --> 00:01:07.867
We need to reverse engineer this because

00:01:07.906 --> 00:01:08.888
if you're not doing that,

00:01:09.408 --> 00:01:11.228
you're not going to get discovered by the

00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:12.290
artificial intelligence.

00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:14.591
And how that same technology is now

00:01:14.731 --> 00:01:17.593
listening to evals in real time from miles

00:01:17.614 --> 00:01:17.754
away.

00:01:17.774 --> 00:01:19.754
This is going to be a Dave-heavy episode.

00:01:20.135 --> 00:01:21.436
If you like rehab, business,

00:01:21.555 --> 00:01:23.617
and light existential dread before nine

00:01:23.778 --> 00:01:23.938
a.m.,

00:01:24.457 --> 00:01:26.280
you are in the right place welcome to

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.841
pt breakfast club which brings us to our

00:01:27.861 --> 00:01:32.706
very first sponsor theraband ai theraband

00:01:32.906 --> 00:01:35.909
ai the world's first resistance band

00:01:35.971 --> 00:01:38.013
powered by artificial intelligence did

00:01:38.033 --> 00:01:40.415
your theraband need ai probably not but we

00:01:40.495 --> 00:01:41.355
added it anyway

00:01:43.078 --> 00:01:46.099
tracks tension posture mood and your

00:01:46.118 --> 00:01:48.180
therapist's confidence and offers

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.820
real-time coaching like more tension less

00:01:50.861 --> 00:01:53.882
tension honestly just ice it theraband ai

00:01:53.902 --> 00:01:55.802
because if it doesn't have ai in it

00:01:55.882 --> 00:01:58.563
is it even rehab anymore learn more why

00:01:59.063 --> 00:02:02.926
why is this smart dot health theraband ai

00:02:02.965 --> 00:02:04.346
does it need ai no should we put

00:02:04.365 --> 00:02:05.867
it in there absolutely we should

00:02:06.215 --> 00:02:07.737
I mean, if it doesn't snap,

00:02:07.778 --> 00:02:10.703
if the AI Thurban does not snap anymore

00:02:10.802 --> 00:02:13.407
and snap and break someone's orbital

00:02:13.448 --> 00:02:14.449
socket, that's a win.

00:02:15.296 --> 00:02:16.937
I had one of those things happen,

00:02:16.957 --> 00:02:18.158
like Stroops,

00:02:18.179 --> 00:02:19.319
the dude from Stroops I was doing a

00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:21.420
live show with a while ago.

00:02:21.461 --> 00:02:22.421
It's like, well, that's not a thing.

00:02:22.461 --> 00:02:23.502
And then I had it happen,

00:02:23.542 --> 00:02:24.703
a resistance band that was just in my

00:02:24.723 --> 00:02:25.764
basement for a while, hadn't used it,

00:02:26.024 --> 00:02:26.963
was going to do some deadlifts,

00:02:27.183 --> 00:02:28.305
was warming up, snap,

00:02:28.465 --> 00:02:29.366
did hit me in the face.

00:02:29.506 --> 00:02:30.485
That's not an exaggeration.

00:02:30.546 --> 00:02:31.407
That's a thing that happens.

00:02:32.247 --> 00:02:32.967
The big story,

00:02:33.008 --> 00:02:34.008
we got to get into this one.

00:02:34.209 --> 00:02:36.789
We figure out what to talk about in

00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:38.091
what everybody does, families,

00:02:38.170 --> 00:02:38.812
group chats, right?

00:02:39.211 --> 00:02:40.111
And this one popped up.

00:02:40.573 --> 00:02:41.894
I think, who brought it up?

00:02:41.954 --> 00:02:43.054
You, Dave or Tony?

00:02:43.274 --> 00:02:43.875
I saw it too.

00:02:43.895 --> 00:02:43.974
Yeah.

00:02:44.775 --> 00:02:45.854
As you saw it, I was like, oh,

00:02:45.875 --> 00:02:45.975
yeah,

00:02:46.015 --> 00:02:46.876
I was going to share this one as

00:02:46.915 --> 00:02:47.056
well.

00:02:48.295 --> 00:02:48.955
Larry Benz,

00:02:48.975 --> 00:02:50.257
who I'm going to run into at Graham

00:02:50.276 --> 00:02:53.557
Sessions this week, dropped a scorcher.

00:02:53.837 --> 00:02:56.618
Larry Benz giving zero Fs,

00:02:56.979 --> 00:02:58.718
breaking down Hinge Health's brand new

00:02:58.859 --> 00:03:00.439
state MSK care report.

00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.000
They're bold enough to be like, hey,

00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:03.181
everybody, we're Hinge Health.

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:05.200
We have virtually no physical therapists,

00:03:05.221 --> 00:03:06.282
but we're going to do a State of

00:03:06.301 --> 00:03:07.222
the Union for you.

00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:09.662
Honestly, power marketing move.

00:03:10.043 --> 00:03:11.644
It's an old move.

00:03:11.663 --> 00:03:11.824
Old move.

00:03:11.843 --> 00:03:12.724
Let's see how it plays out for.

00:03:12.985 --> 00:03:13.885
State of the MSK report.

00:03:13.945 --> 00:03:14.566
On the surface,

00:03:14.686 --> 00:03:16.728
it is a beautiful argument that patients

00:03:16.907 --> 00:03:18.989
should see physical therapy first.

00:03:19.669 --> 00:03:20.730
Pause for dramatic effect.

00:03:20.971 --> 00:03:21.450
Well done.

00:03:22.032 --> 00:03:22.651
Clap, clap, clap.

00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:23.453
No notes,

00:03:23.573 --> 00:03:25.433
except for here comes some notes.

00:03:25.835 --> 00:03:27.855
The company publishing it is a two billion

00:03:27.876 --> 00:03:29.557
dollar tech firm whose entire business

00:03:29.598 --> 00:03:31.118
model is built on making sure patients

00:03:31.218 --> 00:03:33.099
don't see a physical therapist.

00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:35.081
Man, are we getting rugged or what?

00:03:35.842 --> 00:03:37.644
They diagnose the system pretty well.

00:03:38.484 --> 00:03:40.465
then sell a solution that actually just

00:03:40.504 --> 00:03:42.665
provides a detour around everybody in the

00:03:42.705 --> 00:03:43.086
profession.

00:03:43.105 --> 00:03:44.247
They're like, wait, what happened here?

00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:47.367
I thought they were for us.

00:03:47.427 --> 00:03:48.408
This isn't a tech story.

00:03:48.429 --> 00:03:49.908
This is an incentive story.

00:03:49.968 --> 00:03:51.009
So here's the big idea.

00:03:51.030 --> 00:03:52.651
When the company replacing you becomes the

00:03:52.691 --> 00:03:54.551
loudest advocate for your profession,

00:03:54.852 --> 00:03:57.013
you should probably read the fine print.

00:03:57.612 --> 00:03:59.274
So Dave, why'd you bring this one up?

00:03:59.313 --> 00:03:59.834
Why was this?

00:04:00.054 --> 00:04:01.995
I mean, where do we start?

00:04:03.525 --> 00:04:04.126
Well, first of all,

00:04:04.725 --> 00:04:06.866
I respect Larry Benz significantly.

00:04:07.027 --> 00:04:08.568
He has a,

00:04:08.649 --> 00:04:10.289
I don't know when he started in private

00:04:10.310 --> 00:04:10.650
practice,

00:04:10.689 --> 00:04:13.592
but it was a long time that he

00:04:13.651 --> 00:04:14.652
was in private practice.

00:04:14.793 --> 00:04:16.954
And then he had with,

00:04:17.875 --> 00:04:19.555
I almost said Concentra, Confluent.

00:04:20.497 --> 00:04:22.478
They, I don't know, he had,

00:04:22.538 --> 00:04:23.879
I think you had mentioned like maybe he

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:25.120
stepped out of that in the last year

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:27.901
or two and like retired or semi-retired.

00:04:27.942 --> 00:04:30.963
But in terms of private practice and PPS,

00:04:31.024 --> 00:04:32.125
he is like one of the,

00:04:33.353 --> 00:04:35.033
I don't know, one of the main authorities.

00:04:35.053 --> 00:04:37.935
Go ahead.

00:04:37.956 --> 00:04:38.396
I was going to say,

00:04:38.437 --> 00:04:39.576
he retired and set back out.

00:04:39.617 --> 00:04:42.620
He launched Confluent not as long as I

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:43.060
thought ago.

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.141
It says eleven and a half years,

00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:45.262
but he did a lot in eleven and

00:04:45.281 --> 00:04:45.661
a half years.

00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:48.117
Yeah,

00:04:48.416 --> 00:04:50.538
to take something and make it into I

00:04:50.577 --> 00:04:52.819
think they're close to maybe they're at

00:04:52.858 --> 00:04:54.098
least maybe I think five hundred

00:04:54.119 --> 00:04:54.538
locations,

00:04:54.579 --> 00:04:55.999
maybe closer to a thousand locations.

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.420
I mean, now, of course,

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.360
you're buying you're buying chains and

00:04:59.401 --> 00:04:59.701
groups.

00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.480
So it's a roll up strategy.

00:05:01.821 --> 00:05:03.002
It's not like each one was a de

00:05:03.041 --> 00:05:03.382
novo.

00:05:03.721 --> 00:05:05.422
But to even do that in eleven years

00:05:05.562 --> 00:05:09.423
is just beyond impressive.

00:05:10.184 --> 00:05:10.403
Yeah.

00:05:10.423 --> 00:05:10.663
All right.

00:05:10.684 --> 00:05:12.024
So we're starting to the article.

00:05:12.043 --> 00:05:13.365
How would you explain to this to someone

00:05:13.384 --> 00:05:14.125
who hasn't read this?

00:05:23.769 --> 00:05:25.872
How would you explain what was going on

00:05:25.891 --> 00:05:26.452
in this article?

00:05:26.492 --> 00:05:27.793
Why was it important to bring up?

00:05:27.834 --> 00:05:29.014
Why is it our lead story?

00:05:29.055 --> 00:05:30.315
You don't have to give me specifics if

00:05:30.336 --> 00:05:32.098
you have them, great, but dig in.

00:05:32.158 --> 00:05:33.779
I've got some question starters or

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:34.120
whatever,

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:35.180
but I wanted to hear from you first

00:05:35.201 --> 00:05:36.122
since this was just sort of your

00:05:36.161 --> 00:05:36.562
suggestion.

00:05:38.228 --> 00:05:38.908
I,

00:05:39.069 --> 00:05:40.250
I agree with a lot of what he

00:05:40.310 --> 00:05:41.910
said around hinge health and sword health

00:05:42.029 --> 00:05:43.089
over the past couple of years.

00:05:43.531 --> 00:05:44.071
I think I,

00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:46.031
I hate to say the word thought leader,

00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:47.391
but I think if there's anyone in our

00:05:47.492 --> 00:05:48.572
profession, that's a thought leader,

00:05:48.812 --> 00:05:49.492
it's Larry Benz.

00:05:49.971 --> 00:05:51.733
I remember back in twenty, twenty,

00:05:51.892 --> 00:05:54.314
twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen.

00:05:55.473 --> 00:05:56.834
You know, he was heavy into Twitter.

00:05:56.934 --> 00:05:59.314
His hashtag or his handle is at physical

00:05:59.334 --> 00:06:00.055
therapy on Twitter.

00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:03.295
He's always been leveraging social media,

00:06:04.776 --> 00:06:05.057
you know,

00:06:06.249 --> 00:06:06.788
And kudos to him.

00:06:06.829 --> 00:06:09.689
Like he's like obviously was like full on

00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:12.831
deep in his in his career and utilizing

00:06:12.911 --> 00:06:15.271
technology that was like newer and novel.

00:06:15.511 --> 00:06:17.291
And, you know, whether it was networking,

00:06:18.072 --> 00:06:19.372
I've just been a fan of his.

00:06:19.411 --> 00:06:20.172
I actually never met him.

00:06:20.211 --> 00:06:21.132
I would love to meet him at some

00:06:21.173 --> 00:06:21.413
point.

00:06:21.793 --> 00:06:22.273
I know, Jimmy,

00:06:22.932 --> 00:06:23.733
I think a year or so ago,

00:06:23.752 --> 00:06:25.834
you joked like you were going to invite

00:06:25.853 --> 00:06:28.934
yourself to his like Kentucky farm or his

00:06:28.994 --> 00:06:30.454
mansion, whatever his estate,

00:06:30.475 --> 00:06:31.314
whatever he's got down there.

00:06:31.694 --> 00:06:33.375
And I was like begging to if you

00:06:33.396 --> 00:06:34.115
do it, if you do it,

00:06:34.136 --> 00:06:35.016
I want to come along with you.

00:06:36.468 --> 00:06:37.610
I don't know Larry well.

00:06:37.629 --> 00:06:38.569
We've interacted a few times.

00:06:39.411 --> 00:06:40.692
The vibe I get is he'd be like,

00:06:40.711 --> 00:06:41.372
yeah, okay, when?

00:06:42.274 --> 00:06:43.194
He wouldn't even say, okay.

00:06:43.213 --> 00:06:44.254
He'd just be like, yeah,

00:06:44.295 --> 00:06:44.915
what's good for you?

00:06:44.935 --> 00:06:45.396
Is it tomorrow?

00:06:46.276 --> 00:06:47.257
He writes a lot.

00:06:47.517 --> 00:06:49.740
He's been doing this more because the

00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:51.161
technology's gotten better, right?

00:06:51.221 --> 00:06:53.742
And he's an inch wide to mile deep

00:06:53.783 --> 00:06:55.244
kind of guy because he'll write a post,

00:06:55.264 --> 00:06:56.906
but then it'll lead to an article that

00:06:56.925 --> 00:06:59.327
just goes deep into a problem.

00:06:59.408 --> 00:07:00.749
And I think he's a thought leader,

00:07:00.769 --> 00:07:02.449
and I'm using air quotes, because...

00:07:03.271 --> 00:07:05.692
He's not he doesn't need the attention.

00:07:05.752 --> 00:07:06.812
He's doing it because he cares.

00:07:07.192 --> 00:07:08.411
He's like, here's what I see.

00:07:08.471 --> 00:07:09.432
He's like sort of like waving.

00:07:09.851 --> 00:07:10.872
This is what I see.

00:07:10.952 --> 00:07:11.593
Hey, everybody.

00:07:11.632 --> 00:07:12.973
In two years, you're going to be like,

00:07:13.012 --> 00:07:13.892
where did this come from?

00:07:13.932 --> 00:07:14.512
And Larry be like,

00:07:14.713 --> 00:07:15.874
look at my post from two years ago.

00:07:16.014 --> 00:07:17.213
That that exact thing happened.

00:07:18.934 --> 00:07:19.774
So here's some like,

00:07:19.994 --> 00:07:23.654
can you claim PT first when PTs weren't

00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:25.235
even the room writing the report?

00:07:25.254 --> 00:07:25.415
Like,

00:07:25.495 --> 00:07:27.055
is that the thing that pisses what pisses

00:07:27.096 --> 00:07:27.836
us off the most?

00:07:28.235 --> 00:07:29.576
Or do we are we just giving them

00:07:29.755 --> 00:07:30.677
their own flowers going?

00:07:30.697 --> 00:07:31.416
Hey, well done.

00:07:31.476 --> 00:07:32.317
We're getting smoked here.

00:07:33.286 --> 00:07:35.029
Let's ask, I want you to ask Tony.

00:07:35.490 --> 00:07:36.932
So Tony,

00:07:37.935 --> 00:07:40.560
is Hinge Health valid and are they okay

00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.944
to write this when they operate the way

00:07:42.964 --> 00:07:43.305
that they do?

00:07:43.922 --> 00:07:44.101
Yeah.

00:07:44.161 --> 00:07:45.081
Yeah.

00:07:45.362 --> 00:07:47.403
I read the article a couple of times.

00:07:48.303 --> 00:07:49.663
There was a couple of quotes in there

00:07:49.704 --> 00:07:51.524
that, you know, totally made sense.

00:07:52.524 --> 00:07:52.725
Yeah.

00:07:52.824 --> 00:07:53.805
I don't see the problem.

00:07:53.886 --> 00:07:55.946
Like they're basically saying, look,

00:07:55.985 --> 00:07:58.206
we created this solution, this platform,

00:07:58.247 --> 00:07:59.588
this amazing technology.

00:08:00.108 --> 00:08:01.108
Yes, we agree.

00:08:01.507 --> 00:08:02.949
Patients should be seeing a physical

00:08:02.968 --> 00:08:03.889
therapist first.

00:08:04.588 --> 00:08:06.149
We have everything else covered.

00:08:07.250 --> 00:08:08.870
And I think collectively,

00:08:08.911 --> 00:08:10.733
the three of us generally agree,

00:08:10.773 --> 00:08:13.053
like the therapist's most valuable

00:08:13.113 --> 00:08:14.595
position, at least right now,

00:08:14.694 --> 00:08:17.297
is the evaluation, establishing the plan,

00:08:17.396 --> 00:08:20.199
identifying comorbidities, complexities,

00:08:20.238 --> 00:08:22.060
factors that are going to influence care.

00:08:22.459 --> 00:08:24.661
It is not in the delivery of the

00:08:24.701 --> 00:08:24.982
care.

00:08:25.382 --> 00:08:26.783
the delivery of the care,

00:08:27.244 --> 00:08:30.725
the AI analysis and watching people do

00:08:30.786 --> 00:08:33.048
stuff and improving compliance and all

00:08:33.067 --> 00:08:35.590
that can be outsourced to a platform like

00:08:35.931 --> 00:08:36.990
hinge or sword.

00:08:37.871 --> 00:08:41.014
Our role is more just kind of oversight,

00:08:41.134 --> 00:08:42.816
maybe initial evaluation.

00:08:43.255 --> 00:08:44.837
The fact that they don't have a thousand

00:08:44.857 --> 00:08:47.099
therapists on staff doesn't bother me at

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.519
all.

00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:49.741
I think this is a great, like,

00:08:50.562 --> 00:08:53.582
opportunity olive branch to say, hey,

00:08:54.003 --> 00:08:55.702
we're not leaving the profession behind.

00:08:55.763 --> 00:08:57.663
We want you guys to come along with

00:08:57.803 --> 00:08:57.964
us.

00:08:58.323 --> 00:09:00.684
We want the actual therapist to work

00:09:00.784 --> 00:09:01.884
alongside us.

00:09:02.304 --> 00:09:03.504
Let us do our part,

00:09:03.706 --> 00:09:05.505
which is what the technology is designed

00:09:05.546 --> 00:09:05.765
for.

00:09:06.225 --> 00:09:07.346
You guys do your part.

00:09:07.927 --> 00:09:09.366
And when you think of the consumer,

00:09:09.407 --> 00:09:11.488
their consumer, it's the employer,

00:09:11.587 --> 00:09:12.548
to my understanding.

00:09:13.368 --> 00:09:14.668
People who are working,

00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:16.831
they're not that complex.

00:09:16.851 --> 00:09:18.373
We're not talking about people who had

00:09:18.513 --> 00:09:20.875
amputees and strokes and brain injuries

00:09:20.936 --> 00:09:21.937
and pediatrics.

00:09:22.376 --> 00:09:24.558
We're talking about the same people that

00:09:24.578 --> 00:09:26.421
walk into my clinic that are going to

00:09:26.461 --> 00:09:27.642
work after PT,

00:09:27.662 --> 00:09:29.703
that are coming to PT after work.

00:09:30.245 --> 00:09:31.225
They're fully functional.

00:09:31.265 --> 00:09:34.548
They just need a little guidance,

00:09:34.589 --> 00:09:36.750
which is what the AI platform can do.

00:09:38.052 --> 00:09:41.033
And I would step in either before, during,

00:09:41.212 --> 00:09:42.354
after at some point,

00:09:42.374 --> 00:09:43.653
but I don't need to be the main

00:09:43.793 --> 00:09:45.095
one delivering the service.

00:09:46.575 --> 00:09:47.456
Here's a question for you.

00:09:47.796 --> 00:09:49.056
Who benefits the most here?

00:09:49.115 --> 00:09:49.696
Patients?

00:09:50.157 --> 00:09:50.856
Employers?

00:09:51.456 --> 00:09:52.277
Shareholders?

00:09:53.118 --> 00:09:54.538
Who's going to benefit the most?

00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:56.778
What, so what, now what?

00:09:56.798 --> 00:09:57.999
This is sort of in the so what

00:09:58.038 --> 00:09:58.480
territory.

00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:59.840
So who benefits the most here?

00:10:01.160 --> 00:10:02.760
Potentially insurance companies because

00:10:02.780 --> 00:10:04.802
they're finding a way that they're

00:10:04.861 --> 00:10:06.802
offering a cheaper...

00:10:08.057 --> 00:10:10.639
alternative to billable units.

00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:12.341
Insurance companies like it.

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.961
That's why they agree to it.

00:10:13.981 --> 00:10:16.363
That's why they send out promotional Hinge

00:10:16.403 --> 00:10:16.623
Health,

00:10:16.643 --> 00:10:18.585
Sword Health emails on their behalf.

00:10:19.865 --> 00:10:21.726
That is probably the most savvy move of

00:10:21.767 --> 00:10:22.866
Hinge Health and Sword Health is that

00:10:22.886 --> 00:10:24.808
they've gone either directly to employers

00:10:24.869 --> 00:10:26.429
or they've gone to the insurance companies

00:10:26.529 --> 00:10:26.649
and

00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:28.311
Insurance companies,

00:10:28.331 --> 00:10:29.172
they want to hold money.

00:10:29.251 --> 00:10:30.673
They want to pay out less.

00:10:31.332 --> 00:10:33.054
They want to continue to make more

00:10:33.095 --> 00:10:33.434
billions.

00:10:33.554 --> 00:10:35.557
It is a genius business model.

00:10:36.076 --> 00:10:40.419
The founders of Hinge understood that.

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.582
And they don't care about my style of

00:10:43.623 --> 00:10:43.923
delivery.

00:10:44.202 --> 00:10:45.543
They don't even care about Tony's style of

00:10:45.563 --> 00:10:45.924
delivery.

00:10:46.284 --> 00:10:47.385
They're like,

00:10:47.485 --> 00:10:49.366
we have a potential alternative solution.

00:10:50.347 --> 00:10:52.369
and it's a screen and maybe there's a

00:10:52.428 --> 00:10:54.149
little health coach maybe there's a little

00:10:54.190 --> 00:10:55.809
physical therapist on the front end but

00:10:55.850 --> 00:10:58.130
really it's just someone that has back

00:10:58.150 --> 00:11:00.451
pain or whatever and following exercises

00:11:00.611 --> 00:11:02.753
on a screen yeah as a side note

00:11:02.852 --> 00:11:04.073
i know we hammered this before but there

00:11:04.094 --> 00:11:06.014
was the company that tony brought in about

00:11:06.053 --> 00:11:08.014
the the coaching what was that like the

00:11:08.034 --> 00:11:10.895
coaching tiers for accountability it was

00:11:10.916 --> 00:11:13.898
mentioned on the sam par and uh my

00:11:14.057 --> 00:11:16.698
my fitness pal or my my something

00:11:19.219 --> 00:11:19.980
My body tutor.

00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.399
So when you were describing, Tony,

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:24.480
about AI can do the accountability and

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:26.120
this and that, no, it cannot.

00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:28.221
That's why that company,

00:11:28.741 --> 00:11:31.481
because behavior change requires more than

00:11:31.621 --> 00:11:32.982
a push notification, an email,

00:11:33.023 --> 00:11:35.283
a text message to go log into an

00:11:35.363 --> 00:11:35.582
app.

00:11:37.104 --> 00:11:41.264
I am firmly a believer that for

00:11:41.284 --> 00:11:41.904
accountability...

00:11:42.664 --> 00:11:43.065
Like this.

00:11:43.586 --> 00:11:45.086
Like, I know we're still, guys,

00:11:45.105 --> 00:11:45.787
we're still live.

00:11:45.826 --> 00:11:46.927
This is not AI apps.

00:11:46.966 --> 00:11:48.248
Like, there's accountability.

00:11:48.288 --> 00:11:49.849
Like, I know I got to finish my,

00:11:50.809 --> 00:11:52.630
get dressed in my hair and brush my

00:11:52.671 --> 00:11:53.551
teeth and my breakfast.

00:11:53.591 --> 00:11:55.272
I got to make sure I'm here live

00:11:55.292 --> 00:11:56.452
because you guys are going to just go

00:11:56.533 --> 00:11:57.552
live at eight thirty a.m.

00:11:57.633 --> 00:11:57.994
anyway.

00:11:58.354 --> 00:11:58.494
Right.

00:11:58.514 --> 00:11:59.313
So there's accountability.

00:11:59.333 --> 00:12:01.075
Now, if this was just like, oh,

00:12:01.134 --> 00:12:03.456
I could just it's just like Hinge Health

00:12:03.517 --> 00:12:04.456
notification, whatever.

00:12:04.797 --> 00:12:06.597
And I could just do it whenever I'll

00:12:06.658 --> 00:12:07.259
push it off.

00:12:07.739 --> 00:12:11.624
So I disagree that hinge and sword and

00:12:11.644 --> 00:12:12.404
all that, Tony,

00:12:12.445 --> 00:12:15.509
can be replacing all of the

00:12:15.869 --> 00:12:16.409
accountability,

00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:18.873
which is one of the big components of

00:12:19.653 --> 00:12:22.157
behavior change and pain relief and

00:12:22.197 --> 00:12:23.958
recovery and wellness and health and all

00:12:23.999 --> 00:12:24.179
that.

00:12:26.172 --> 00:12:27.331
Question that's on screen right now.

00:12:27.613 --> 00:12:29.732
Are PTs quietly losing the front door to

00:12:29.773 --> 00:12:30.072
care?

00:12:30.232 --> 00:12:30.474
I mean,

00:12:30.854 --> 00:12:32.173
instead of having to go to individuals,

00:12:32.193 --> 00:12:33.815
they're going to... So, I mean,

00:12:34.054 --> 00:12:35.894
so the question that was asked,

00:12:35.934 --> 00:12:37.416
are PTs quietly losing the front door?

00:12:38.395 --> 00:12:39.736
Will we eventually be only left with the

00:12:39.756 --> 00:12:45.339
back door?

00:12:45.359 --> 00:12:48.279
So, this is, you know, a great, like...

00:12:49.126 --> 00:12:51.327
visual display of, okay,

00:12:51.388 --> 00:12:53.307
we still have a free market to some

00:12:53.347 --> 00:12:53.707
level.

00:12:54.649 --> 00:12:56.328
It's going to be decided, right?

00:12:56.469 --> 00:12:58.490
If the consumer wants what they are

00:12:58.549 --> 00:12:59.210
producing,

00:12:59.250 --> 00:13:01.051
the consumer is going to choose it and

00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:02.770
we will decay.

00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:04.692
The profession will die out.

00:13:05.152 --> 00:13:06.672
If the consumer doesn't want it,

00:13:07.172 --> 00:13:09.913
my biggest fear is then regulation steps

00:13:10.033 --> 00:13:12.573
in and somebody in government somewhere

00:13:12.614 --> 00:13:15.134
says, no, we got to listen to Dave.

00:13:15.174 --> 00:13:16.975
We got to listen to the therapist.

00:13:17.014 --> 00:13:18.576
We can't allow this to happen.

00:13:19.176 --> 00:13:20.717
And it stifles innovation.

00:13:20.857 --> 00:13:23.519
It takes away the opportunity for a

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.403
company like Hinge to either live or die

00:13:26.562 --> 00:13:27.583
on their own merits.

00:13:28.124 --> 00:13:28.924
And it just, you know,

00:13:29.225 --> 00:13:30.706
that's what really concerns me here.

00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:32.181
Yeah.

00:13:32.201 --> 00:13:32.760
Moving forward.

00:13:32.921 --> 00:13:33.361
Moving forward.

00:13:33.442 --> 00:13:34.182
I said this before.

00:13:34.763 --> 00:13:36.923
The consumer in general across the entire

00:13:36.943 --> 00:13:38.625
country over the next five or ten years

00:13:38.966 --> 00:13:42.128
does not want will not want Hinge Health

00:13:42.148 --> 00:13:42.668
or Sword Health.

00:13:42.869 --> 00:13:44.210
These companies will go away.

00:13:44.570 --> 00:13:46.230
I'm telling you, they do not.

00:13:46.932 --> 00:13:48.052
The insurance companies want this.

00:13:48.493 --> 00:13:49.734
They want this product and service.

00:13:49.754 --> 00:13:50.494
Sure.

00:13:50.533 --> 00:13:52.475
The any other stakeholders want this

00:13:52.515 --> 00:13:54.437
product or service to minimize paying for

00:13:54.496 --> 00:13:56.217
billable units or physical therapy or

00:13:56.238 --> 00:13:56.599
whatever.

00:13:56.839 --> 00:13:57.019
Yeah.

00:13:57.505 --> 00:13:59.167
The consumer, the actual employee,

00:13:59.187 --> 00:14:00.028
we talked about this before,

00:14:00.248 --> 00:14:02.149
an employee at, I don't know,

00:14:02.168 --> 00:14:03.629
Cargill or Walmart,

00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:05.591
and they get Hinge Health and Sword Health

00:14:05.630 --> 00:14:06.051
for free,

00:14:06.451 --> 00:14:09.133
and they get fired or they leave Walmart

00:14:09.173 --> 00:14:11.575
or Cargill, they move to another job.

00:14:11.875 --> 00:14:14.096
Now that job does not give Hinge Health

00:14:14.115 --> 00:14:14.996
and Sword Health for free.

00:14:15.317 --> 00:14:17.357
That person will not pay ten dollars a

00:14:17.437 --> 00:14:19.119
month for Hinge Health or Sword Health.

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.759
The consumer does not want this.

00:14:21.841 --> 00:14:24.461
drew uh right here drew cruz uh thank

00:14:24.481 --> 00:14:26.984
you for joining in live he's saying

00:14:27.063 --> 00:14:28.504
wouldn't we rather have those people on

00:14:28.543 --> 00:14:31.426
the remote side and more complex in person

00:14:31.686 --> 00:14:34.527
yeah sure that's fine that's fine the the

00:14:34.586 --> 00:14:36.628
people on the remote side there needs to

00:14:36.668 --> 00:14:38.729
be some human accountability on the other

00:14:38.828 --> 00:14:40.929
end in my opinion to do remote programming

00:14:40.950 --> 00:14:43.071
and all that when i paid mike laviolette

00:14:43.131 --> 00:14:45.373
the physical therapist to do remote

00:14:45.413 --> 00:14:47.594
programming i knew that if i was if

00:14:47.653 --> 00:14:47.974
i was not

00:14:48.313 --> 00:14:50.115
clicking my exercises and submitting my

00:14:50.154 --> 00:14:50.695
workouts,

00:14:50.995 --> 00:14:53.655
and he was asking me questions in between

00:14:53.696 --> 00:14:55.657
workouts or every other day or every other

00:14:55.677 --> 00:14:55.917
week,

00:14:56.517 --> 00:14:57.616
I knew that there was some human

00:14:57.657 --> 00:14:58.197
accountability.

00:14:58.256 --> 00:14:59.677
That made me change my behavior.

00:14:59.717 --> 00:15:01.138
My goal was to work out and break

00:15:01.177 --> 00:15:02.078
a sweat every single day.

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.042
But I knew the crux of it was

00:15:05.062 --> 00:15:05.221
like,

00:15:05.481 --> 00:15:09.525
I have this urge to satisfy this other

00:15:09.546 --> 00:15:09.886
human.

00:15:10.067 --> 00:15:10.967
There's some oversight.

00:15:11.008 --> 00:15:11.928
They're watching me.

00:15:12.629 --> 00:15:13.730
And when it's digital,

00:15:13.951 --> 00:15:15.711
there is no influence or there's

00:15:15.792 --> 00:15:17.094
significantly less influence.

00:15:17.114 --> 00:15:17.894
So yes, Drew.

00:15:18.695 --> 00:15:19.894
You can have those people remotely.

00:15:19.975 --> 00:15:20.836
Why not do that yourself?

00:15:20.875 --> 00:15:21.916
I know Tony's talked about remote

00:15:21.956 --> 00:15:23.676
programming or remote therapeutic

00:15:23.716 --> 00:15:24.155
monitoring.

00:15:24.475 --> 00:15:26.236
You could have it as a self-paced service,

00:15:26.797 --> 00:15:30.357
but as a standalone service, Hinge Health,

00:15:30.398 --> 00:15:32.018
Sword Health, no one,

00:15:32.217 --> 00:15:34.379
no consumer is going to pay five, ten,

00:15:34.418 --> 00:15:35.798
fifteen dollars a month for it out of

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.818
pocket if they don't get it through their

00:15:37.839 --> 00:15:38.240
employer.

00:15:38.299 --> 00:15:39.360
Full stop.

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:40.419
Don't disagree.

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:41.740
Someone was having this conversation

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:43.740
yesterday and I appreciate where they were

00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:44.280
coming from.

00:15:45.386 --> 00:15:46.706
But they were like, hey, wouldn't you pay?

00:15:47.027 --> 00:15:48.687
They were sort of taking Tony's model of

00:15:48.707 --> 00:15:50.727
a hundred dollars a month access to his

00:15:50.768 --> 00:15:52.788
clinic for gym.

00:15:52.827 --> 00:15:53.268
But they were like,

00:15:53.528 --> 00:15:55.428
wouldn't you want for a hundred dollars a

00:15:55.489 --> 00:15:57.068
month, twenty five dollars a week,

00:15:57.688 --> 00:16:00.049
a daily check in with your PT and

00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:02.690
up an email update, a blob.

00:16:02.769 --> 00:16:04.049
And what they were talking about,

00:16:04.070 --> 00:16:05.671
what I was watching in real time was

00:16:05.850 --> 00:16:07.551
feature, feature, feature, feature,

00:16:07.591 --> 00:16:07.910
feature.

00:16:07.951 --> 00:16:10.292
And my response was, what's their problem?

00:16:10.371 --> 00:16:11.591
Like, what is the benefit?

00:16:12.572 --> 00:16:14.553
Now I get an extra text message every

00:16:14.573 --> 00:16:14.793
day.

00:16:14.874 --> 00:16:15.754
I got to be honest with you guys.

00:16:15.894 --> 00:16:17.596
I need less text messages.

00:16:18.135 --> 00:16:19.177
I need better text messages.

00:16:19.216 --> 00:16:20.357
The people I want texting me are

00:16:20.418 --> 00:16:20.918
important.

00:16:20.998 --> 00:16:23.080
I bought a Christmas present a month and

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:23.580
a half ago,

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:25.140
and now I'm getting three text messages a

00:16:25.182 --> 00:16:25.461
week.

00:16:26.101 --> 00:16:27.802
I get it, right?

00:16:27.864 --> 00:16:29.365
Get the cell phone number.

00:16:29.384 --> 00:16:30.065
Get the email address.

00:16:30.404 --> 00:16:31.306
Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping.

00:16:31.346 --> 00:16:32.167
If they're not going to buy,

00:16:32.307 --> 00:16:33.227
make them unsubscribe.

00:16:33.927 --> 00:16:35.328
That's not a long-term, not for us.

00:16:35.369 --> 00:16:35.969
That's wrong.

00:16:36.028 --> 00:16:37.070
It's the wrong strategy.

00:16:37.090 --> 00:16:38.250
It's the right strategy if you're trying

00:16:38.270 --> 00:16:39.191
to sell me a duffel bag.

00:16:39.471 --> 00:16:39.851
My man,

00:16:40.091 --> 00:16:41.572
I just bought a duffel bag last month.

00:16:41.793 --> 00:16:44.595
My duffel bag problem is solid for a

00:16:44.634 --> 00:16:45.095
while.

00:16:45.394 --> 00:16:46.916
I'm good on the duffel bags.

00:16:47.177 --> 00:16:48.236
I know you also sell golf.

00:16:48.277 --> 00:16:49.118
This is Agio.

00:16:49.457 --> 00:16:51.940
Golf bags and this and this.

00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:53.360
I know you.

00:16:53.441 --> 00:16:53.980
I see you.

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.221
I'm going to now unsubscribe.

00:16:55.662 --> 00:16:57.923
So understand what problem you're actually

00:16:58.004 --> 00:16:58.484
solving.

00:16:58.803 --> 00:17:02.846
I don't know that Hinge Health has that

00:17:02.907 --> 00:17:03.086
yet.

00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.541
So I would say, again,

00:17:05.582 --> 00:17:06.742
reading through the article,

00:17:06.883 --> 00:17:08.463
trying to process and understand,

00:17:09.365 --> 00:17:10.986
I will make recommendations to an

00:17:11.067 --> 00:17:12.887
orthopedic surgeon when I have a patient

00:17:12.907 --> 00:17:14.930
in the clinic who may benefit from an

00:17:15.049 --> 00:17:17.332
orthopedic surgeon's assessment.

00:17:18.133 --> 00:17:20.154
I don't employ an orthopedic surgeon.

00:17:20.414 --> 00:17:22.175
I don't get any benefit from an orthopedic

00:17:22.215 --> 00:17:22.636
surgeon.

00:17:23.336 --> 00:17:24.818
I see this as no different.

00:17:25.358 --> 00:17:27.779
They don't need to go into the business

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:30.862
of live physical therapists in order to

00:17:30.922 --> 00:17:33.502
solve the problem of delivering physical

00:17:33.563 --> 00:17:34.304
therapy.

00:17:35.084 --> 00:17:37.865
And so it's just, you know,

00:17:38.306 --> 00:17:39.346
I think it's great that they're

00:17:39.385 --> 00:17:41.587
acknowledging, hey, yeah,

00:17:41.708 --> 00:17:43.288
it'd be amazing to have a physical

00:17:43.307 --> 00:17:45.869
therapist in the loop to get a physical

00:17:45.910 --> 00:17:47.590
therapist evaluation.

00:17:48.250 --> 00:17:49.731
But we're not going to pay for it,

00:17:49.892 --> 00:17:49.972
i.e.

00:17:50.012 --> 00:17:50.472
hinge.

00:17:50.653 --> 00:17:52.034
We are not going to pay for it

00:17:52.795 --> 00:17:53.976
because that's not the business we're in.

00:17:54.356 --> 00:17:55.376
It's too ambiguous.

00:17:55.416 --> 00:17:56.838
What am I getting right?

00:17:56.878 --> 00:17:58.800
Like we have different problems to solve.

00:17:58.861 --> 00:18:00.342
We have what the hell do we what

00:18:00.442 --> 00:18:00.981
what are we?

00:18:01.022 --> 00:18:02.824
I was someone someone had a post the

00:18:02.864 --> 00:18:04.445
other day about the movement system.

00:18:04.986 --> 00:18:06.366
And I was like, that was coming out.

00:18:07.228 --> 00:18:07.989
like, ten, twelve,

00:18:08.348 --> 00:18:09.809
thirteen years ago when I was sort of

00:18:10.289 --> 00:18:11.330
in PT school and I was like,

00:18:11.391 --> 00:18:12.751
I don't know what any of this crap

00:18:12.771 --> 00:18:12.932
was.

00:18:13.452 --> 00:18:14.513
I half know what any of this stuff

00:18:14.574 --> 00:18:14.894
is now.

00:18:15.413 --> 00:18:15.795
But I was like,

00:18:15.815 --> 00:18:17.096
I definitely don't know what the movement

00:18:17.115 --> 00:18:17.715
system is.

00:18:17.756 --> 00:18:18.896
And then I was looking into it and

00:18:18.916 --> 00:18:19.537
then, of course, I'm like,

00:18:19.576 --> 00:18:20.337
I got AI now.

00:18:20.377 --> 00:18:21.739
So I've got some posts coming out next

00:18:21.798 --> 00:18:22.440
week that sort of

00:18:23.423 --> 00:18:24.825
poke the bear like, hey,

00:18:24.865 --> 00:18:26.227
this was actually a good idea.

00:18:26.346 --> 00:18:27.228
We screwed it up.

00:18:27.288 --> 00:18:30.010
We screwed up the marketing of it.

00:18:30.330 --> 00:18:33.954
We went to flowcharts and white papers and

00:18:34.075 --> 00:18:34.776
roundtable.

00:18:34.816 --> 00:18:36.978
We went to PDFs instead of JPEGs.

00:18:37.378 --> 00:18:39.039
We should have made movies about this.

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.521
We should have done live streams instead

00:18:40.561 --> 00:18:40.642
of,

00:18:41.001 --> 00:18:42.523
let me explain to you what the movement

00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:42.663
is.

00:18:42.723 --> 00:18:44.165
If you can't explain it in twelve seconds,

00:18:44.185 --> 00:18:44.826
you don't have a thing.

00:18:44.846 --> 00:18:45.747
You don't have a good idea.

00:18:46.347 --> 00:18:47.128
That's actually not true.

00:18:47.348 --> 00:18:48.609
But if you can't explain it in twelve

00:18:48.650 --> 00:18:48.930
seconds,

00:18:49.089 --> 00:18:50.230
no one else is going to think you

00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:50.750
have a good idea.

00:18:50.770 --> 00:18:51.932
You might have a good idea,

00:18:52.152 --> 00:18:53.073
but if you can't explain it,

00:18:53.113 --> 00:18:54.114
it doesn't matter.

00:18:54.213 --> 00:18:55.815
Hinge is really good at explaining stuff

00:18:56.435 --> 00:18:57.636
to a different audience.

00:18:57.656 --> 00:18:59.357
Am I wrong?

00:19:00.038 --> 00:19:01.358
To employers, they go, hey,

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.420
do you want to do a thing?

00:19:03.101 --> 00:19:04.321
It's cost savings.

00:19:04.981 --> 00:19:05.962
So here's my question.

00:19:07.243 --> 00:19:08.444
Is this what they're doing,

00:19:09.685 --> 00:19:10.746
healthcare innovation,

00:19:11.767 --> 00:19:13.489
Or HR innovation?

00:19:14.068 --> 00:19:15.730
I know that I have an opinion, obviously.

00:19:16.310 --> 00:19:18.153
It's like financial engineering.

00:19:18.432 --> 00:19:19.213
I mean, it's not.

00:19:19.554 --> 00:19:21.455
It's not.

00:19:22.676 --> 00:19:23.298
Correct.

00:19:23.438 --> 00:19:26.941
Except we're getting rugged here, right?

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:27.181
Yeah,

00:19:27.201 --> 00:19:28.762
but if you're going to waste from an

00:19:28.803 --> 00:19:30.263
employer perspective,

00:19:30.403 --> 00:19:31.664
if you're going to waste money,

00:19:31.965 --> 00:19:33.086
let's waste less money.

00:19:35.691 --> 00:19:37.492
If I'm going to pay for one of

00:19:37.532 --> 00:19:39.375
my people to go see Dave,

00:19:40.576 --> 00:19:42.138
and I know my person isn't going to

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:43.220
do what's prescribed,

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.340
they're not going to do the home

00:19:44.401 --> 00:19:45.061
exercises,

00:19:45.082 --> 00:19:46.282
they're not going to follow Dave's

00:19:46.344 --> 00:19:46.923
instruction.

00:19:48.086 --> 00:19:50.208
Why am I going to waste two hundred

00:19:50.228 --> 00:19:50.729
and fifty,

00:19:50.788 --> 00:19:52.431
five hundred dollars when I can waste

00:19:52.490 --> 00:19:53.230
twenty dollars?

00:19:53.832 --> 00:19:54.132
Like,

00:19:54.653 --> 00:19:57.075
we're going to put the effort out there.

00:19:57.115 --> 00:19:57.895
But I mean,

00:19:57.976 --> 00:19:59.156
it's the same thing for me in the

00:19:59.196 --> 00:19:59.517
clinic.

00:19:59.537 --> 00:19:59.678
Like,

00:19:59.897 --> 00:20:01.578
I'm not going to pay for an expensive

00:20:01.598 --> 00:20:04.561
home exercise delivery system because I

00:20:04.582 --> 00:20:06.644
don't expect my patients to do the home

00:20:06.703 --> 00:20:07.444
exercises.

00:20:08.303 --> 00:20:09.784
If somebody will do it,

00:20:09.924 --> 00:20:10.904
I will spend the money,

00:20:10.944 --> 00:20:14.428
but they're not coming to me for that.

00:20:15.829 --> 00:20:17.290
I don't want to switch topics,

00:20:17.330 --> 00:20:19.333
but I'm dying to hear about Dave and

00:20:19.373 --> 00:20:20.713
the guy listening.

00:20:20.794 --> 00:20:22.055
Let's jump.

00:20:22.394 --> 00:20:23.135
I have a transition.

00:20:23.175 --> 00:20:24.176
We have to pay the bills, guys,

00:20:24.196 --> 00:20:25.018
but let's hear from Ben.

00:20:25.038 --> 00:20:26.838
Ben usually brings good ideas.

00:20:26.878 --> 00:20:28.200
Hinge is applauded for pushing the

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:29.361
acceptance of digital PT.

00:20:30.241 --> 00:20:32.143
Hinge is applauded for addressing MSK cost

00:20:32.182 --> 00:20:32.542
of care.

00:20:33.023 --> 00:20:35.184
Hinge or something like Hinge is necessary

00:20:35.204 --> 00:20:36.905
in the true scheme of population health

00:20:36.925 --> 00:20:37.425
for MSK.

00:20:37.846 --> 00:20:40.387
It's an inexpensive to deploy layer that

00:20:40.428 --> 00:20:42.628
reserves in-person PT skilled care for

00:20:42.648 --> 00:20:43.368
those who truly need it.

00:20:43.449 --> 00:20:44.369
A good front door.

00:20:45.049 --> 00:20:46.050
You want to be in the front door

00:20:46.090 --> 00:20:46.371
business.

00:20:46.391 --> 00:20:47.132
You don't want to be in the back

00:20:47.172 --> 00:20:47.672
door business.

00:20:49.854 --> 00:20:52.557
i'm just using analogies guys uh but it

00:20:52.596 --> 00:20:54.577
is part of the solution not the solution

00:20:54.617 --> 00:20:57.080
it's never the solution right this is

00:20:57.181 --> 00:20:59.061
never the thing it's always part of the

00:20:59.102 --> 00:21:02.285
thing it depends um all right let's switch

00:21:02.305 --> 00:21:03.905
a little bit of topics but we got

00:21:03.925 --> 00:21:05.007
to pay the bills we got a good

00:21:05.086 --> 00:21:06.228
one this segment is sponsored by

00:21:06.347 --> 00:21:09.490
goniometer gpt the first range of motion

00:21:09.510 --> 00:21:12.634
tool powered by artificial intelligence

00:21:13.074 --> 00:21:14.615
simply pointed at the joint

00:21:15.316 --> 00:21:18.519
And it confidently reports approximately

00:21:18.778 --> 00:21:19.961
ninety something degrees.

00:21:20.381 --> 00:21:22.603
Probably.

00:21:24.184 --> 00:21:26.646
And three contradictory measurements per

00:21:26.686 --> 00:21:27.086
visit.

00:21:27.247 --> 00:21:30.049
Goniometer GPT because accuracy is

00:21:30.130 --> 00:21:32.231
overrated, but AI is trendy.

00:21:32.633 --> 00:21:35.194
Order now at trust the algorithm dot I

00:21:35.414 --> 00:21:36.936
go Goniometer GPT.

00:21:36.957 --> 00:21:37.277
All right.

00:21:37.616 --> 00:21:39.598
So, Dave, a patient found you.

00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:41.941
You dropped this in the group chat like

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.622
super cash.

00:21:42.642 --> 00:21:44.624
Like, hey, Grok got me a payment.

00:21:44.683 --> 00:21:45.184
And I was like,

00:21:45.384 --> 00:21:46.625
the tight end from the Patriots.

00:21:46.645 --> 00:21:47.467
You're like, no, not Grok.

00:21:47.567 --> 00:21:47.906
Grok.

00:21:47.926 --> 00:21:49.288
I spelled it incorrectly.

00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:51.530
I don't think you spelled it incorrectly.

00:21:51.550 --> 00:21:52.632
I think you just read it incorrectly

00:21:52.652 --> 00:21:53.792
because I have ADD or whatever.

00:21:54.492 --> 00:21:54.913
Dyslexia.

00:21:55.575 --> 00:21:57.215
We may be entering a world where patients

00:21:57.256 --> 00:21:58.978
don't search for clinics anymore.

00:21:59.137 --> 00:22:00.439
Think about that.

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:03.741
We never wanted to search for the answer.

00:22:04.022 --> 00:22:05.003
We wanted the answer.

00:22:05.523 --> 00:22:05.743
I mean,

00:22:06.244 --> 00:22:07.384
I got when I was growing up like,

00:22:07.705 --> 00:22:09.686
hey, I was taught, ask questions,

00:22:09.987 --> 00:22:11.347
ask questions, figure things out.

00:22:11.608 --> 00:22:12.229
Hey, what's this?

00:22:12.409 --> 00:22:14.411
Go look it up.

00:22:14.490 --> 00:22:15.191
I wanted the answer.

00:22:15.211 --> 00:22:15.832
You told me to go look.

00:22:15.872 --> 00:22:16.412
OK, got it.

00:22:16.451 --> 00:22:17.133
I could have done that.

00:22:17.192 --> 00:22:18.913
So we may be entering a world now

00:22:18.933 --> 00:22:20.674
where patients don't search for clinics.

00:22:20.714 --> 00:22:22.557
They ask for a solution to a problem.

00:22:22.636 --> 00:22:23.877
And I hope you're the answer.

00:22:23.917 --> 00:22:25.378
So let's reverse engineer this.

00:22:25.878 --> 00:22:27.599
How did you know that it came from?

00:22:28.121 --> 00:22:30.261
How did what what found you like?

00:22:30.301 --> 00:22:30.903
Tell the story.

00:22:32.199 --> 00:22:32.579
Yeah,

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.801
I want to cover this briefly because I

00:22:34.862 --> 00:22:36.724
definitely want to get into the us

00:22:36.785 --> 00:22:39.428
recording patient encounters through an AI

00:22:39.728 --> 00:22:40.970
app recording audio.

00:22:41.089 --> 00:22:41.891
That's a little teaser.

00:22:42.551 --> 00:22:45.234
In terms of this, new patient called in.

00:22:46.502 --> 00:22:48.285
Our secretary always gets contact

00:22:48.305 --> 00:22:48.825
information,

00:22:48.865 --> 00:22:50.165
a little bit of patient demographic

00:22:50.185 --> 00:22:51.166
information about what's going on.

00:22:51.207 --> 00:22:53.009
Are they looking for an office visit?

00:22:53.048 --> 00:22:54.869
Because yes, guys, we have an office.

00:22:55.151 --> 00:22:56.311
Or are they looking for a house call?

00:22:56.771 --> 00:22:58.292
So if it's a house call,

00:22:58.333 --> 00:22:59.034
what's your address?

00:22:59.054 --> 00:22:59.634
That type of stuff.

00:23:00.035 --> 00:23:01.276
And they always have to ask.

00:23:02.176 --> 00:23:03.217
Otherwise, I would be very mad.

00:23:03.298 --> 00:23:04.057
They have to ask,

00:23:04.659 --> 00:23:05.519
how did you hear about us?

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.361
Did you hear about us?

00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:09.102
I mentioned here on the show before that

00:23:09.122 --> 00:23:12.023
we've had maybe two or three people find

00:23:12.045 --> 00:23:13.786
this through ChatGPT when they're

00:23:13.806 --> 00:23:15.467
prompted, hey, how did you hear about us?

00:23:15.866 --> 00:23:17.067
Because historically, it's been like,

00:23:17.709 --> 00:23:19.549
other than word of mouth or a physician

00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:21.070
or a nurse agency or whatever,

00:23:21.531 --> 00:23:22.551
it's usually Google.

00:23:23.292 --> 00:23:25.334
And so we had those two or three

00:23:25.375 --> 00:23:26.695
previous ChatGPT leads.

00:23:27.215 --> 00:23:27.915
And now yesterday...

00:23:28.757 --> 00:23:29.817
or the day before, whenever it was,

00:23:30.499 --> 00:23:33.383
we had our first lead patient or

00:23:33.442 --> 00:23:35.285
prospective patient come through Grok.

00:23:35.786 --> 00:23:37.007
And I actually had never used it.

00:23:37.067 --> 00:23:37.847
I had to pull it up and I

00:23:37.887 --> 00:23:38.188
was, oh,

00:23:38.228 --> 00:23:39.390
this is the thing that's like through

00:23:39.430 --> 00:23:40.070
Twitter or whatever,

00:23:40.090 --> 00:23:42.614
but it looks just like ChatGPT or Gemini

00:23:42.634 --> 00:23:42.933
or whatever.

00:23:43.714 --> 00:23:45.297
Yeah, they look, they look very similar.

00:23:45.958 --> 00:23:48.540
And so that I, I even, I,

00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:50.883
I spoke with the, the prospective patient.

00:23:50.903 --> 00:23:51.884
Cause like, I got to hear this,

00:23:51.923 --> 00:23:55.107
but then I went into my normal approach.

00:23:55.127 --> 00:23:56.368
So I didn't, I should, I,

00:23:56.730 --> 00:23:57.451
I can maybe ask,

00:23:57.471 --> 00:23:58.612
but I didn't ask like, what was,

00:23:58.791 --> 00:23:59.593
what did they look for?

00:23:59.613 --> 00:24:00.253
What did they prompt?

00:24:00.273 --> 00:24:01.555
But they were looking for a home visit.

00:24:02.496 --> 00:24:03.817
They were looking for a home visit and

00:24:03.896 --> 00:24:05.877
I can't remember the guy's date of birth,

00:24:05.897 --> 00:24:06.597
but he was like,

00:24:06.698 --> 00:24:08.259
he's like in his thirties or forties.

00:24:08.298 --> 00:24:10.460
So I like, obviously like, you know,

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.780
typically a younger person in general

00:24:12.820 --> 00:24:14.321
would be more likely to use these tools.

00:24:14.362 --> 00:24:16.462
Not always, but in general right now.

00:24:17.123 --> 00:24:18.183
So yeah.

00:24:18.203 --> 00:24:18.804
So that's interesting,

00:24:18.824 --> 00:24:19.684
but that's it really.

00:24:19.704 --> 00:24:19.944
Yeah.

00:24:20.644 --> 00:24:21.486
So you might be right.

00:24:21.506 --> 00:24:22.686
You might say something like someone

00:24:22.846 --> 00:24:23.346
older, someone...

00:24:23.708 --> 00:24:25.009
We're going to be ageist here for a

00:24:25.088 --> 00:24:25.409
second.

00:24:25.509 --> 00:24:26.069
I apologize,

00:24:26.109 --> 00:24:27.611
Kathy Cholick and everybody from APT,

00:24:27.691 --> 00:24:28.111
Jerry Axios.

00:24:28.411 --> 00:24:29.192
You might say, well,

00:24:29.231 --> 00:24:31.093
someone who's sixty years old isn't going

00:24:31.113 --> 00:24:31.354
to use...

00:24:31.394 --> 00:24:32.795
Sixty plus isn't going to use AI.

00:24:33.575 --> 00:24:35.135
But now when you Google something,

00:24:35.237 --> 00:24:37.698
the first result is now there.

00:24:38.118 --> 00:24:39.559
They're not waiting for you to go look

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.000
for that.

00:24:40.641 --> 00:24:42.582
They're jamming it where you are already

00:24:42.622 --> 00:24:43.143
looking, which...

00:24:44.201 --> 00:24:46.843
If you're going for user adoption,

00:24:46.962 --> 00:24:48.765
that's the way to go, right?

00:24:49.164 --> 00:24:50.645
Google's quietly saying, hey,

00:24:50.685 --> 00:24:52.847
this is a threat, but we have one,

00:24:52.907 --> 00:24:54.328
so we're going to put it as the

00:24:54.368 --> 00:24:55.269
first search result.

00:24:56.770 --> 00:24:56.911
Yeah,

00:24:56.990 --> 00:24:58.172
I would love to hear what were they

00:24:59.113 --> 00:25:00.193
looking for?

00:25:00.334 --> 00:25:01.474
How did this start?

00:25:01.974 --> 00:25:03.936
Even before, the emotional, like,

00:25:03.957 --> 00:25:04.356
God damn,

00:25:04.376 --> 00:25:05.438
I've got to take care of this.

00:25:05.798 --> 00:25:07.640
And then you have all these options.

00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:08.339
What did you do?

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.560
And then on the flip side...

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.603
How did Grok know that you were the

00:25:12.742 --> 00:25:13.064
answer?

00:25:13.124 --> 00:25:14.505
Is it SEO?

00:25:14.545 --> 00:25:19.570
What are we calling AI suggestion

00:25:19.631 --> 00:25:20.270
optimization?

00:25:20.310 --> 00:25:21.353
I know somebody already probably has a

00:25:21.373 --> 00:25:23.394
term, but it's SEO for AI.

00:25:23.515 --> 00:25:24.075
I don't know what it is.

00:25:24.095 --> 00:25:26.157
Yeah, prompt optimization.

00:25:26.178 --> 00:25:27.519
I don't know.

00:25:27.538 --> 00:25:28.359
I'm sure there's going to be a word

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:29.320
that comes up soon.

00:25:29.340 --> 00:25:30.102
What you do...

00:25:31.303 --> 00:25:32.344
to be the answer.

00:25:32.403 --> 00:25:34.365
Somebody asked me two years ago or in

00:25:34.424 --> 00:25:35.385
a comment was like,

00:25:35.425 --> 00:25:37.528
how do we get AI to make sure

00:25:37.548 --> 00:25:38.989
that when someone asks a question like

00:25:39.009 --> 00:25:40.150
this, we are the answer.

00:25:40.170 --> 00:25:40.509
And I was like,

00:25:40.609 --> 00:25:41.971
you need to be the answer is what

00:25:42.010 --> 00:25:42.611
I'm looking at.

00:25:42.730 --> 00:25:42.830
But,

00:25:43.051 --> 00:25:45.133
but how do they know the answer for

00:25:45.192 --> 00:25:45.713
that guy?

00:25:45.753 --> 00:25:47.954
Like, I want to know how it's called.

00:25:48.015 --> 00:25:49.675
Yeah, that, that I don't have the answer,

00:25:49.737 --> 00:25:51.857
but I'm assuming like, so, okay.

00:25:51.877 --> 00:25:53.159
So even right now, like if you,

00:25:53.479 --> 00:25:54.240
I think you did this before,

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.901
if you pulled up like, uh,

00:25:55.921 --> 00:25:56.761
it's called AEO.

00:25:56.862 --> 00:25:58.643
Oh, so artificial intelligence.

00:26:01.876 --> 00:26:03.457
artificial engine optimization.

00:26:04.297 --> 00:26:06.258
So like SEO search engine optimization.

00:26:06.298 --> 00:26:10.499
So artificial engine optimization, AEO.

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.740
So I think if you just typed in

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:15.461
like in-home physical therapy Manhattan,

00:26:15.881 --> 00:26:18.122
then it'll give you like the top three

00:26:18.162 --> 00:26:18.622
or five.

00:26:20.272 --> 00:26:22.236
Ben Gaiman said Dave quietly whispers into

00:26:22.256 --> 00:26:23.938
his Roomba every day for how great AI

00:26:23.958 --> 00:26:24.557
and robots are.

00:26:24.617 --> 00:26:26.401
And then AI and robots, of course,

00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:27.622
answer engine optimization.

00:26:29.344 --> 00:26:30.125
Oh, answer, answer.

00:26:30.164 --> 00:26:31.307
Okay.

00:26:31.326 --> 00:26:32.709
Do you guys know Pete Holmes?

00:26:32.749 --> 00:26:33.368
He's a comedian.

00:26:33.388 --> 00:26:35.352
I don't know.

00:26:35.838 --> 00:26:37.380
He's funny, and you've seen him,

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.519
and he does this bit,

00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:39.359
and I don't know.

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:41.980
I don't know if I can tell a

00:26:42.020 --> 00:26:43.182
bit because he has to say the word

00:26:43.221 --> 00:26:44.481
dildo like sixty-eight times.

00:26:44.761 --> 00:26:46.083
He stops in the middle of a comedy

00:26:46.103 --> 00:26:46.363
routine.

00:26:46.403 --> 00:26:49.044
Nate, Nate, Nate, edit that out, please,

00:26:49.064 --> 00:26:50.624
before we put him on the show.

00:26:50.644 --> 00:26:52.805
He won't say it sixty times,

00:26:52.845 --> 00:26:53.744
but he's saying it.

00:26:53.805 --> 00:26:55.346
He stops in the middle of a comedy

00:26:55.385 --> 00:26:55.546
routine.

00:26:55.566 --> 00:26:56.046
He's saying it.

00:26:56.066 --> 00:26:57.747
He's like, I want to buy a bleep.

00:26:57.826 --> 00:26:59.086
I want to buy a bleep bleep.

00:26:59.307 --> 00:27:00.428
I want to buy a big bleep bleep

00:27:00.448 --> 00:27:01.208
bleep bleep bleep.

00:27:01.228 --> 00:27:02.288
And everybody in the audience is like,

00:27:02.488 --> 00:27:02.688
what?

00:27:02.888 --> 00:27:03.888
He does it for like a minute.

00:27:04.675 --> 00:27:05.076
And then he goes,

00:27:05.317 --> 00:27:06.917
good luck with all those targeted ads over

00:27:06.938 --> 00:27:07.557
the next week.

00:27:07.617 --> 00:27:09.019
And I was like, oh my God,

00:27:09.058 --> 00:27:11.000
he hacked everybody's algorithm in theory.

00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:12.501
But like, that's the question,

00:27:12.521 --> 00:27:15.183
which is like, how, what's the input?

00:27:15.243 --> 00:27:16.605
We want to be the output.

00:27:17.006 --> 00:27:18.286
We need to understand the middle.

00:27:18.767 --> 00:27:19.607
And then how, of course,

00:27:19.627 --> 00:27:21.709
to hack the system with what Will has

00:27:21.749 --> 00:27:23.109
now educated us as AEO,

00:27:23.210 --> 00:27:25.872
answer engine optimization.

00:27:25.912 --> 00:27:27.333
I like how it's answer engine and not

00:27:27.513 --> 00:27:27.993
AI.

00:27:28.054 --> 00:27:30.336
Because like, if you are the answer,

00:27:30.375 --> 00:27:31.636
I do want you to be found.

00:27:31.797 --> 00:27:32.998
I don't want you to be the best

00:27:33.018 --> 00:27:34.318
cast secret in your town.

00:27:35.455 --> 00:27:38.118
I'm sure it comes back to pulling from

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.624
whatever your current digital footprint

00:27:42.723 --> 00:27:43.164
is, right?

00:27:43.184 --> 00:27:44.846
So like online reviews, Google reviews,

00:27:44.885 --> 00:27:45.547
Yelp reviews,

00:27:46.327 --> 00:27:47.970
maybe SEO pages on your website.

00:27:48.029 --> 00:27:48.549
I don't know.

00:27:48.691 --> 00:27:50.432
Or like link, you know, backlinks.

00:27:50.511 --> 00:27:51.834
I can't imagine it being that much

00:27:51.874 --> 00:27:52.595
different than SEO.

00:27:53.103 --> 00:27:55.086
That was my question now to Tony.

00:27:55.186 --> 00:27:56.849
Everything's just a circle, guys.

00:27:56.910 --> 00:27:58.932
Are we back to make sure there's words

00:27:58.992 --> 00:27:59.795
on your page?

00:28:00.675 --> 00:28:01.758
And probably now,

00:28:02.278 --> 00:28:03.661
everything's smarter just by...

00:28:04.201 --> 00:28:05.523
We used to put words...

00:28:06.951 --> 00:28:08.814
on white background in white text at the

00:28:08.854 --> 00:28:09.934
bottom of our web pages.

00:28:09.974 --> 00:28:10.815
So we'd get found.

00:28:10.974 --> 00:28:12.155
It was like a way to like hack

00:28:12.175 --> 00:28:12.616
the system.

00:28:12.936 --> 00:28:15.799
And then when AI was reading job resumes,

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:18.422
we were doing that and everything's a cold

00:28:18.461 --> 00:28:18.902
war, right?

00:28:19.122 --> 00:28:19.843
I have missiles.

00:28:20.063 --> 00:28:21.124
I have fifty missiles.

00:28:21.304 --> 00:28:22.684
I have space lasers, right?

00:28:22.724 --> 00:28:24.046
Everything's just like a little bit to

00:28:24.066 --> 00:28:24.326
whatever.

00:28:25.563 --> 00:28:26.564
What's the right way?

00:28:26.584 --> 00:28:28.165
Because what you want to do is you

00:28:28.185 --> 00:28:29.346
want to do it the right way so

00:28:29.366 --> 00:28:30.728
you don't get dinged because you might

00:28:30.748 --> 00:28:33.790
always get shadow banned or whatever.

00:28:34.131 --> 00:28:35.291
So my question, I guess,

00:28:35.532 --> 00:28:38.375
to Will or Tony or whoever's listening

00:28:38.415 --> 00:28:38.816
right now...

00:28:41.458 --> 00:28:53.445
What are they talking about?

00:28:55.426 --> 00:28:56.988
So Jimmy, yeah, the right way,

00:28:57.048 --> 00:28:58.409
just like we do in the clinic,

00:28:58.449 --> 00:28:59.970
what's the right way in the clinic to

00:29:00.009 --> 00:29:00.691
treat a shoulder?

00:29:01.471 --> 00:29:03.791
Eat better, sleep better, exercise more,

00:29:03.872 --> 00:29:05.053
manage your lifestyle.

00:29:05.432 --> 00:29:07.173
What's the right way for Dave to show

00:29:07.334 --> 00:29:09.415
up in Grok or ChatGPT?

00:29:09.816 --> 00:29:12.237
Create a presence, share information,

00:29:12.537 --> 00:29:14.377
deliver unique perspectives,

00:29:14.838 --> 00:29:17.000
answer questions that other people aren't

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.240
answering or answer common questions in

00:29:19.361 --> 00:29:20.122
unique ways.

00:29:21.342 --> 00:29:21.781
That's it.

00:29:21.803 --> 00:29:22.702
There's nothing to it.

00:29:22.722 --> 00:29:23.663
There is no hack.

00:29:23.703 --> 00:29:25.284
There is no special formula.

00:29:26.204 --> 00:29:27.165
The people who do...

00:29:28.205 --> 00:29:30.926
try to find that it's temporary.

00:29:30.987 --> 00:29:33.407
Like Google has been fighting SEO for

00:29:33.488 --> 00:29:33.989
decades.

00:29:34.028 --> 00:29:34.308
I mean,

00:29:34.368 --> 00:29:37.230
you just need to provide value and let

00:29:37.250 --> 00:29:39.250
the machines do their job.

00:29:41.550 --> 00:29:41.671
Yep.

00:29:41.691 --> 00:29:42.632
Do it the right way.

00:29:42.711 --> 00:29:44.772
I got my first cohort of my How

00:29:44.792 --> 00:29:46.595
to Launch a Podcast YouTube channel

00:29:46.634 --> 00:29:46.994
course.

00:29:47.015 --> 00:29:47.634
It's going well.

00:29:47.734 --> 00:29:50.856
And I've come back to the same principle

00:29:50.896 --> 00:29:52.097
because I know I'm talking to healthcare

00:29:52.117 --> 00:29:52.438
people.

00:29:52.598 --> 00:29:53.459
A lot of people in the class are

00:29:53.479 --> 00:29:53.838
PTs.

00:29:53.878 --> 00:29:54.519
Most are PTs.

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.040
And I'm saying, guys, listen,

00:29:56.101 --> 00:29:57.162
I want you to keep this in mind.

00:29:57.362 --> 00:29:59.682
So talk to the audience in a term

00:29:59.742 --> 00:30:00.844
or a phrase or a word or a

00:30:00.884 --> 00:30:01.845
concept they already know.

00:30:02.325 --> 00:30:03.306
And now bring it to the new thing

00:30:03.326 --> 00:30:03.826
that they don't know.

00:30:04.145 --> 00:30:07.788
Frequency, intensity, time, type, volume,

00:30:07.868 --> 00:30:08.308
progression.

00:30:08.328 --> 00:30:09.430
Those are exercise principles.

00:30:10.790 --> 00:30:11.790
Their communication principles.

00:30:12.071 --> 00:30:13.813
Answer the boring question.

00:30:14.573 --> 00:30:15.374
Answer it in text.

00:30:15.614 --> 00:30:16.273
Answer it in video.

00:30:16.413 --> 00:30:17.214
Answer it on LinkedIn.

00:30:17.335 --> 00:30:18.276
Answer it on your website.

00:30:18.375 --> 00:30:20.436
Do it ten different frequency, intensity,

00:30:20.537 --> 00:30:21.978
time, type, volume, progression.

00:30:22.317 --> 00:30:23.098
Do that.

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.121
Drew's like, that is me.

00:30:26.201 --> 00:30:26.740
I'm in this cohort.

00:30:26.780 --> 00:30:27.000
Yes.

00:30:27.321 --> 00:30:28.301
But how many times, Drew,

00:30:28.321 --> 00:30:29.202
like validate this for me,

00:30:29.423 --> 00:30:32.365
have I said the same thing seventeen

00:30:32.404 --> 00:30:33.786
different ways, even in the course?

00:30:33.965 --> 00:30:34.266
Again,

00:30:34.626 --> 00:30:36.048
people didn't join my course because they

00:30:36.067 --> 00:30:37.969
could have Googled or AI'd how to launch

00:30:37.989 --> 00:30:38.409
a podcast.

00:30:38.429 --> 00:30:39.130
They didn't need that.

00:30:39.869 --> 00:30:41.112
They needed clarity and guidance.

00:30:41.132 --> 00:30:42.133
They needed me to hold their hand and

00:30:42.173 --> 00:30:43.575
hold them accountable.

00:30:44.756 --> 00:30:45.757
The accountability.

00:30:45.896 --> 00:30:46.438
Shocking.

00:30:46.498 --> 00:30:47.859
It works if you have a human there.

00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:48.740
Wow.

00:30:49.020 --> 00:30:54.847
These are parallels.

00:30:54.887 --> 00:30:56.028
Talk about that post that you had the

00:30:56.048 --> 00:30:56.369
other day.

00:30:59.357 --> 00:31:00.598
I think I turned it into a video.

00:31:00.739 --> 00:31:02.940
AI is better at selling your plan of

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.180
care.

00:31:03.201 --> 00:31:06.303
AI doesn't freeze on the phone.

00:31:06.982 --> 00:31:08.084
Before we do that,

00:31:08.104 --> 00:31:09.025
because this is related,

00:31:09.065 --> 00:31:12.027
let's get to Dave's listening in because

00:31:12.086 --> 00:31:13.667
this is so important.

00:31:14.401 --> 00:31:14.921
Wait, wait, wait.

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:16.141
Before we do that,

00:31:16.181 --> 00:31:18.201
we have another sponsor.

00:31:18.221 --> 00:31:19.122
Quick, quick, quick.

00:31:19.501 --> 00:31:20.801
You didn't think that there needed to be

00:31:20.902 --> 00:31:21.842
AI in your ice packs,

00:31:21.882 --> 00:31:24.323
but Ice Pack AI is a first-class therapy

00:31:24.363 --> 00:31:26.202
solution with embedded machine learning.

00:31:26.762 --> 00:31:28.564
Ice Pack AI analyzes swelling, pain,

00:31:28.604 --> 00:31:29.304
therapist's mood,

00:31:29.324 --> 00:31:31.104
and lunar cycles and decides whether you

00:31:31.144 --> 00:31:32.864
deserve cold today.

00:31:33.223 --> 00:31:34.305
Sometimes it applies ice.

00:31:34.565 --> 00:31:36.164
Sometimes it sends a notification that

00:31:36.204 --> 00:31:36.404
says,

00:31:36.545 --> 00:31:38.125
have you tried just not being injured?

00:31:38.785 --> 00:31:41.226
Visit freezewithconfidence.ai.

00:31:43.009 --> 00:31:44.356
So what app are you using?

00:31:44.416 --> 00:31:46.146
And what it would tell us this story.

00:31:47.364 --> 00:31:49.265
Okay, so long story short,

00:31:49.704 --> 00:31:52.446
we have taken the decision to start

00:31:52.527 --> 00:31:54.788
recording our physical therapist

00:31:54.828 --> 00:31:55.848
interactions and visits.

00:31:55.929 --> 00:31:57.170
Now we have the office,

00:31:57.190 --> 00:31:58.711
but historically we've only been doing

00:31:58.770 --> 00:31:59.290
home visits.

00:32:00.491 --> 00:32:02.653
When my therapists do a home visit,

00:32:02.772 --> 00:32:04.594
I literally have no idea what goes on.

00:32:04.734 --> 00:32:05.835
So they'll say like, yeah, here.

00:32:06.075 --> 00:32:06.935
And I'll be like, how did it go?

00:32:06.955 --> 00:32:08.416
And they'll be like this, this and that.

00:32:08.856 --> 00:32:10.397
And then like some patients stay around

00:32:10.438 --> 00:32:12.179
for weeks or months or years and some

00:32:12.278 --> 00:32:13.779
patients drop off after one or two or

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:14.220
three visits.

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:16.181
And it's like, there's gotta be something,

00:32:16.261 --> 00:32:16.422
right?

00:32:17.162 --> 00:32:19.262
so real quick if you're listening to this

00:32:19.863 --> 00:32:21.864
uh i'm in new york there's only like

00:32:21.923 --> 00:32:23.124
ten or eleven states where it's a

00:32:23.263 --> 00:32:25.305
two-party consent where you actually have

00:32:25.325 --> 00:32:28.685
to by law tell tell tell the person

00:32:28.786 --> 00:32:31.307
uh that hey i'm recording this if you're

00:32:31.346 --> 00:32:33.727
okay with that whatever um new york has

00:32:33.747 --> 00:32:35.607
a one-way consent believe it or not which

00:32:35.647 --> 00:32:37.588
is great so great for us we are

00:32:37.709 --> 00:32:38.808
still going to put it in the new

00:32:38.828 --> 00:32:40.109
client paperwork we've already done so

00:32:40.130 --> 00:32:41.029
it's like two sentences

00:32:41.589 --> 00:32:42.911
We can actually use some of this.

00:32:43.070 --> 00:32:44.590
It gives us insights so that therapists

00:32:44.611 --> 00:32:45.892
can actually, if they wanted to,

00:32:45.971 --> 00:32:46.792
copy and paste it.

00:32:47.153 --> 00:32:48.492
It's not exactly like a scribe,

00:32:48.532 --> 00:32:50.473
but you can kind of use it for

00:32:50.574 --> 00:32:52.255
documentation purposes as well to be a

00:32:52.295 --> 00:32:53.076
little bit more efficient.

00:32:53.415 --> 00:32:54.296
I framed it that way,

00:32:54.316 --> 00:32:57.897
but then also for increasing the sales

00:32:58.137 --> 00:33:00.598
presentation, the pitch, the first visit,

00:33:01.118 --> 00:33:02.160
presenting the plan of care,

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:04.580
hitting the milestones of a script that

00:33:04.661 --> 00:33:06.781
I've provided for them, pre and post,

00:33:07.061 --> 00:33:07.942
like, you know, greeting.

00:33:08.643 --> 00:33:10.002
Hey, what are your expectations today?

00:33:10.083 --> 00:33:11.324
Hey, here's the agenda today.

00:33:11.624 --> 00:33:12.423
Here's what we're going to do.

00:33:12.584 --> 00:33:13.683
Do you have any questions?

00:33:14.184 --> 00:33:14.765
Let's do this.

00:33:14.805 --> 00:33:15.325
Let's do this.

00:33:15.345 --> 00:33:16.384
We're going to then do this.

00:33:17.204 --> 00:33:18.205
We're going to do a pre and post

00:33:18.246 --> 00:33:18.566
test.

00:33:18.786 --> 00:33:19.826
We're going to do a little bit of

00:33:20.566 --> 00:33:22.507
treatment or whatever modalities or

00:33:22.527 --> 00:33:23.406
intervention or whatever.

00:33:23.906 --> 00:33:25.307
Then I'm going to talk about the I'm

00:33:25.367 --> 00:33:26.587
going to show you this graphic that we

00:33:26.627 --> 00:33:26.907
have.

00:33:26.948 --> 00:33:28.009
It's called Mount Dumour.

00:33:28.108 --> 00:33:28.388
One, two,

00:33:28.409 --> 00:33:30.388
three steps going back up the mountain as

00:33:30.449 --> 00:33:31.950
a metaphor and a visualization tool.

00:33:33.029 --> 00:33:34.411
three, three legs of the stool.

00:33:34.490 --> 00:33:35.431
Here's why we're different.

00:33:35.830 --> 00:33:36.971
It's a whole Alex Ramosy,

00:33:37.010 --> 00:33:39.011
three legs of the stool pitch metaphor

00:33:39.112 --> 00:33:40.893
explaining like, here's the plan of care,

00:33:41.173 --> 00:33:42.053
laying out the plan of care.

00:33:42.093 --> 00:33:43.094
So it's a lot,

00:33:43.153 --> 00:33:44.614
it's a lot for my therapist to do.

00:33:45.334 --> 00:33:46.194
I can now listen in.

00:33:46.295 --> 00:33:48.035
I can go back the AI and I'm

00:33:48.055 --> 00:33:48.795
not going to say which one,

00:33:48.855 --> 00:33:50.615
cause we're using one and we're probably

00:33:50.635 --> 00:33:51.876
going to switch over to another one.

00:33:52.336 --> 00:33:54.176
And one of these companies eventually are

00:33:54.277 --> 00:33:55.218
going to sponsor the show.

00:33:55.278 --> 00:33:56.137
So I don't want to give them any

00:33:56.218 --> 00:33:58.659
pre juju before the juju is signed.

00:33:59.161 --> 00:34:01.001
This isn't an AI scribe, right?

00:34:02.083 --> 00:34:02.702
What is this?

00:34:02.722 --> 00:34:03.884
What would you call this?

00:34:04.624 --> 00:34:06.105
Well, so we'll take a step back.

00:34:06.546 --> 00:34:07.645
I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

00:34:07.806 --> 00:34:08.567
The Eagles play.

00:34:08.786 --> 00:34:10.007
They're knocked out of the playoffs right

00:34:10.027 --> 00:34:11.829
now, but they play a game on Sunday.

00:34:12.188 --> 00:34:14.471
Then the Philadelphia Eagles do game tape

00:34:14.530 --> 00:34:14.831
review.

00:34:14.871 --> 00:34:16.371
They review game tape on Monday and

00:34:16.411 --> 00:34:16.911
Tuesday.

00:34:17.251 --> 00:34:18.413
They're like, hey, what went well?

00:34:18.833 --> 00:34:20.273
What went poorly or bad?

00:34:20.373 --> 00:34:21.295
Where can we optimize?

00:34:21.335 --> 00:34:22.235
Where can we improve?

00:34:22.596 --> 00:34:24.177
And that's exactly what this does.

00:34:24.436 --> 00:34:25.498
And it grades...

00:34:27.617 --> 00:34:28.478
The insights are insane.

00:34:28.518 --> 00:34:31.601
It grades the therapist on each step of

00:34:31.942 --> 00:34:34.063
the sales script that whether they get a

00:34:34.184 --> 00:34:34.744
one out of five,

00:34:34.764 --> 00:34:35.846
they get a four out of five.

00:34:36.106 --> 00:34:37.186
It grades each step.

00:34:37.608 --> 00:34:38.349
It gives insights.

00:34:38.389 --> 00:34:39.750
It tells how much they talked,

00:34:39.889 --> 00:34:41.552
their talk ratio versus the patient's talk

00:34:41.572 --> 00:34:41.931
ratio.

00:34:42.253 --> 00:34:43.733
I can ask a questions like, Hey,

00:34:44.434 --> 00:34:46.237
when you, when they were speaking to Mr.

00:34:46.277 --> 00:34:46.556
Smith,

00:34:47.398 --> 00:34:48.780
Did the therapist hit on any emotional

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.159
triggers?

00:34:49.541 --> 00:34:50.001
Did Mr.

00:34:50.041 --> 00:34:52.483
Smith get flustered or shocked with the

00:34:52.523 --> 00:34:53.585
pricing and the cost?

00:34:53.985 --> 00:34:55.507
Did they explain,

00:34:55.547 --> 00:34:56.789
did they give any objections?

00:34:57.329 --> 00:34:58.190
Did the therapist, uh,

00:34:58.911 --> 00:35:02.295
did the therapist mention the word, uh,

00:35:03.032 --> 00:35:05.353
package or whatever the words are.

00:35:05.893 --> 00:35:10.157
It can grade the therapist on what words

00:35:10.177 --> 00:35:10.697
to avoid,

00:35:10.737 --> 00:35:11.838
and I can put a bunch of words

00:35:11.858 --> 00:35:13.681
to avoid in the system,

00:35:13.721 --> 00:35:18.244
like discharge or whatever words you want

00:35:18.364 --> 00:35:19.445
to avoid.

00:35:20.505 --> 00:35:21.447
If I don't want them to say...

00:35:24.110 --> 00:35:24.469
price.

00:35:24.690 --> 00:35:26.351
I could have him say like investment or,

00:35:26.672 --> 00:35:27.092
you know, do you,

00:35:27.211 --> 00:35:28.972
or do you have funds or funding or

00:35:29.353 --> 00:35:31.094
like different words that I would want the

00:35:31.135 --> 00:35:32.436
therapist to use and not use.

00:35:33.056 --> 00:35:33.815
It's insane.

00:35:33.836 --> 00:35:34.617
The amount of insights.

00:35:34.717 --> 00:35:36.257
And I was mentioning this because last

00:35:36.297 --> 00:35:37.599
night I'm home in Brooklyn.

00:35:37.898 --> 00:35:39.800
My therapist is in the office at five,

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:40.521
doing an about,

00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.103
and I'm listening to the about in real

00:35:43.143 --> 00:35:44.824
time and it's documenting it.

00:35:45.244 --> 00:35:45.664
It's giving,

00:35:45.985 --> 00:35:47.585
I can have the whole transcript if I

00:35:47.626 --> 00:35:48.025
wanted to.

00:35:48.085 --> 00:35:48.485
It's there.

00:35:48.947 --> 00:35:49.786
I have the audio.

00:35:49.847 --> 00:35:50.827
I can go listen to the audio.

00:35:50.887 --> 00:35:51.869
I can click through and listen to

00:35:51.909 --> 00:35:52.748
different audio clips.

00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:53.949
I can ask the AI,

00:35:55.992 --> 00:35:57.612
Any of the questions like, hey,

00:35:57.652 --> 00:35:58.454
how is this going?

00:35:58.893 --> 00:36:00.054
What's the likelihood that this is going

00:36:00.074 --> 00:36:01.536
to convert and they're going to continue

00:36:01.577 --> 00:36:02.177
to stay with us?

00:36:02.518 --> 00:36:03.659
What's the sentiment like?

00:36:03.838 --> 00:36:06.721
Does the patient seem nervous or

00:36:06.762 --> 00:36:07.282
comfortable?

00:36:07.782 --> 00:36:09.364
Or are they asking a lot of questions?

00:36:09.423 --> 00:36:11.005
Are they being quiet and cold?

00:36:11.045 --> 00:36:11.646
Like all that.

00:36:11.666 --> 00:36:12.306
It's insane.

00:36:13.166 --> 00:36:15.248
You can also probably go in and say,

00:36:15.327 --> 00:36:18.331
this is what great looks like.

00:36:18.592 --> 00:36:20.414
Give me a score how this person did

00:36:20.753 --> 00:36:22.356
really quickly from zero to one hundred.

00:36:22.556 --> 00:36:23.677
I've worked with an app like this.

00:36:24.297 --> 00:36:25.980
It was like a sales app that did

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:27.742
that with phone calls.

00:36:27.961 --> 00:36:29.483
And then also great for me was...

00:36:29.844 --> 00:36:31.905
Uh, what was my next step with that?

00:36:31.945 --> 00:36:32.945
What am I supposed to do?

00:36:32.965 --> 00:36:34.266
Cause Jimmy, by the time I hang up,

00:36:34.346 --> 00:36:35.465
I have no idea who I just talked

00:36:35.485 --> 00:36:35.606
to.

00:36:35.885 --> 00:36:37.887
Here's a great suggestion from Ben though.

00:36:38.146 --> 00:36:39.708
We know how learning takes place.

00:36:40.068 --> 00:36:41.989
Could it shock your physical therapy,

00:36:42.009 --> 00:36:43.409
like a collar or a,

00:36:43.570 --> 00:36:44.329
like a whoop ring?

00:36:44.369 --> 00:36:51.492
Hey, this is how much it costs.

00:36:53.393 --> 00:36:54.134
This is the investment.

00:36:58.177 --> 00:36:59.480
Drew, Drew Cruz is saying,

00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:00.503
I don't know what this is called,

00:37:00.543 --> 00:37:02.067
but shut up and take my money.

00:37:02.266 --> 00:37:02.588
Right.

00:37:02.869 --> 00:37:03.670
And so what,

00:37:03.690 --> 00:37:06.157
so you're listening in real time though.

00:37:06.197 --> 00:37:07.179
That's nuts.

00:37:08.657 --> 00:37:10.340
In real time, I was listening to it.

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:12.661
I could, I actually, I prompted,

00:37:13.043 --> 00:37:14.784
I was sending a, I sent one message.

00:37:14.804 --> 00:37:16.085
I don't want to be overbearing because my

00:37:16.126 --> 00:37:17.507
new therapist is only like a week and

00:37:17.527 --> 00:37:18.487
a half, two weeks in.

00:37:19.148 --> 00:37:20.050
I sent him a message.

00:37:20.489 --> 00:37:21.650
I sent him a message in real time.

00:37:21.692 --> 00:37:22.331
Now, I don't know if you saw,

00:37:22.351 --> 00:37:24.014
but there was a push notification that hit

00:37:24.054 --> 00:37:26.175
his phone that if he briefly took his

00:37:26.215 --> 00:37:27.376
phone out or flipped his phone over,

00:37:28.038 --> 00:37:29.797
he would be able to click into it.

00:37:29.858 --> 00:37:31.679
And in the question I could message him

00:37:31.699 --> 00:37:33.239
and say, I don't like,

00:37:33.298 --> 00:37:34.878
like we're not going to, but like,

00:37:35.179 --> 00:37:35.900
let's say we,

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:37.820
I wanted to give like a,

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.780
a manual price reduction or whatever,

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:42.181
something on the fly, like, Oh,

00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:44.041
offer this or do this or whatever.

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:45.722
But I'm, but I'm listening in real time.

00:37:46.981 --> 00:37:47.202
Yes.

00:37:47.282 --> 00:37:48.181
Ben, Ben Galen.

00:37:48.202 --> 00:37:48.382
Yes.

00:37:48.442 --> 00:37:50.001
I will message you or send me a

00:37:50.021 --> 00:37:50.242
message.

00:37:50.282 --> 00:37:50.802
So I don't forget,

00:37:50.842 --> 00:37:52.563
but I'll let you know what companies we're

00:37:52.623 --> 00:37:52.822
using.

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:54.960
How many days until you can just have

00:37:54.981 --> 00:37:56.623
all your therapists wearing the Ray-Ban

00:37:56.663 --> 00:37:58.244
metaglasses and you can be watching the

00:37:58.324 --> 00:38:00.365
eval in real time while it's transcribing?

00:38:00.646 --> 00:38:02.588
I mean, honestly, we're barely not.

00:38:03.288 --> 00:38:05.309
That technology is also insane right now,

00:38:05.550 --> 00:38:06.351
the metaglasses.

00:38:06.670 --> 00:38:09.293
It's not even a stretch, right?

00:38:09.313 --> 00:38:09.932
We're like, oh, yeah,

00:38:09.974 --> 00:38:10.793
probably by the weekend,

00:38:10.974 --> 00:38:12.094
if we're being honest here.

00:38:12.114 --> 00:38:13.376
That's already been in development for

00:38:13.416 --> 00:38:13.856
twelve months.

00:38:13.916 --> 00:38:15.277
Rachel's saying this is a good one.

00:38:16.266 --> 00:38:17.746
Let's get some good statistics,

00:38:17.907 --> 00:38:19.588
not just for one interaction,

00:38:20.289 --> 00:38:21.650
but can you look at a therapist over

00:38:21.670 --> 00:38:23.650
a month, a quarter, a year?

00:38:24.110 --> 00:38:26.072
Rachel's asking like one of those stats

00:38:26.092 --> 00:38:26.932
that flies around a lot.

00:38:26.952 --> 00:38:28.393
Does it track how often or how quickly

00:38:28.414 --> 00:38:29.454
the PT interrupts a patient?

00:38:29.934 --> 00:38:32.336
That you need to be reminded about, right?

00:38:32.396 --> 00:38:33.378
And because we're big dumb animals,

00:38:33.398 --> 00:38:34.398
we're humans.

00:38:34.518 --> 00:38:36.380
These are good KPIs to measure.

00:38:37.561 --> 00:38:38.762
You can also, I'll check.

00:38:38.802 --> 00:38:41.744
I mean, it, it absolutely will give a,

00:38:42.744 --> 00:38:46.768
a talk ratio between the therapist and the

00:38:46.949 --> 00:38:47.389
client.

00:38:47.429 --> 00:38:47.748
Yes.

00:38:48.809 --> 00:38:49.471
Ben's asking,

00:38:49.731 --> 00:38:51.231
am I making a case for an AI

00:38:51.251 --> 00:38:52.112
robot PT?

00:38:52.353 --> 00:38:53.173
Not against it.

00:38:53.333 --> 00:38:54.494
No, no, I'm against it.

00:38:54.735 --> 00:38:55.014
We are,

00:38:55.054 --> 00:38:57.657
we are someone who's going to spend three

00:38:57.677 --> 00:38:59.478
hundred fifty dollars per visit or three

00:38:59.518 --> 00:39:00.960
or four thousand dollars for package or

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.360
whatever.

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:01.900
Like,

00:39:02.733 --> 00:39:03.994
It's still with a human.

00:39:04.014 --> 00:39:06.135
I mean, if it changes, then yes,

00:39:06.215 --> 00:39:09.277
I'll go AI robots and I will come

00:39:09.356 --> 00:39:12.097
on here and I will exclaim that.

00:39:12.858 --> 00:39:13.918
But no, as of right now,

00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:18.300
it's to help our therapist cover all of

00:39:18.340 --> 00:39:19.740
the things that I want them to cover

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:20.561
in the first visit.

00:39:21.922 --> 00:39:25.943
So I'm still hiring and paying human

00:39:25.983 --> 00:39:26.684
physical therapists.

00:39:26.963 --> 00:39:27.923
Getting a message from the studio.

00:39:28.244 --> 00:39:28.864
We've just...

00:39:29.797 --> 00:39:29.998
okay,

00:39:30.038 --> 00:39:31.639
the live stream has just been bought by

00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:32.239
this app.

00:39:32.259 --> 00:39:33.099
We've just been purchased.

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:34.300
So apparently we are now owned.

00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:36.280
They bought us during the conversation.

00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:37.922
In the last six minutes,

00:39:37.942 --> 00:39:41.463
we've actually been bought by Peekaboo AI,

00:39:41.503 --> 00:39:42.724
which is actually the app that Dave's

00:39:43.123 --> 00:39:43.224
used,

00:39:43.384 --> 00:39:44.704
the competitor of the app that Dave's

00:39:44.764 --> 00:39:45.666
used, Peekaboo AI,

00:39:45.686 --> 00:39:47.646
looking right into your client

00:39:47.666 --> 00:39:48.847
interactions and your patient

00:39:48.887 --> 00:39:49.226
interactions.

00:39:50.007 --> 00:39:51.148
These things that you're talking about,

00:39:51.168 --> 00:39:52.068
they're like, oh yeah,

00:39:52.108 --> 00:39:54.409
like we're so used to giant leaps.

00:39:56.168 --> 00:39:59.949
It feels like it's a hockey stick, right?

00:39:59.969 --> 00:40:01.831
It's not a linear improvement.

00:40:01.931 --> 00:40:03.291
It's almost straight up.

00:40:03.313 --> 00:40:06.635
So when I throw out some ridiculous thing

00:40:06.655 --> 00:40:08.376
that we could do, they're just like, yeah,

00:40:08.396 --> 00:40:09.657
just give it to six developers.

00:40:09.697 --> 00:40:10.177
And in a week,

00:40:10.197 --> 00:40:12.298
that'll be in the basic plan.

00:40:12.318 --> 00:40:13.559
It's not even the advanced plan.

00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:14.800
This is wild.

00:40:15.121 --> 00:40:16.702
I'm excited to... Go ahead.

00:40:17.882 --> 00:40:18.623
So right after this,

00:40:18.682 --> 00:40:20.264
I have a go live with one of

00:40:20.284 --> 00:40:20.804
these companies.

00:40:21.105 --> 00:40:22.746
I have been using it for like two

00:40:22.786 --> 00:40:24.146
weeks, maybe three weeks.

00:40:24.248 --> 00:40:24.827
I've been using it.

00:40:24.867 --> 00:40:27.610
But like I negotiated like a free trial

00:40:27.751 --> 00:40:30.233
going into a paid three month pilot.

00:40:30.273 --> 00:40:31.893
They gave me like the first month kind

00:40:31.914 --> 00:40:32.454
of for free.

00:40:33.755 --> 00:40:35.797
But then I mean, it gets really expensive.

00:40:35.836 --> 00:40:38.159
So I wanted to ask Tony, Tony,

00:40:38.358 --> 00:40:40.721
how how many dollars, how much?

00:40:41.561 --> 00:40:42.762
per month, per,

00:40:43.264 --> 00:40:44.684
they call it license or user,

00:40:44.724 --> 00:40:45.726
but you can say therapist.

00:40:46.005 --> 00:40:47.427
So, you know, the cost of, you know,

00:40:47.728 --> 00:40:48.909
web PT or, you know,

00:40:48.969 --> 00:40:50.230
and prompts is a little bit more expensive

00:40:50.289 --> 00:40:52.170
now, but in general, uh, what,

00:40:52.992 --> 00:40:54.673
what cost do you think this is?

00:40:54.914 --> 00:40:55.153
And I'll,

00:40:55.273 --> 00:40:56.795
I'll give you a range afterwards,

00:40:57.335 --> 00:40:59.217
but what is the cost per physical

00:40:59.257 --> 00:41:01.420
therapist do you think for this type of

00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:04.472
value insight.

00:41:04.692 --> 00:41:05.992
Maybe it's more valuable to me.

00:41:06.032 --> 00:41:07.393
Maybe it's less valuable to you,

00:41:07.454 --> 00:41:08.614
but I'm curious,

00:41:08.695 --> 00:41:11.036
like to get your thoughts on like the

00:41:11.115 --> 00:41:13.318
pricing, like the investment for this.

00:41:13.831 --> 00:41:14.130
All right,

00:41:14.150 --> 00:41:16.331
so every time my wife asks me to

00:41:16.411 --> 00:41:17.572
make a guess like that,

00:41:18.231 --> 00:41:20.012
she wants me to go low so she

00:41:20.032 --> 00:41:21.932
can be like, no, it's way more.

00:41:22.534 --> 00:41:23.074
No, I don't care.

00:41:23.153 --> 00:41:23.813
I literally don't.

00:41:23.833 --> 00:41:25.034
I'm just curious what you think it is.

00:41:25.054 --> 00:41:25.914
Realistically,

00:41:25.934 --> 00:41:27.954
knowing what just a standard scribe is

00:41:27.994 --> 00:41:28.755
going to charge,

00:41:29.416 --> 00:41:30.916
I would have to think it's probably like

00:41:30.956 --> 00:41:33.056
twelve hundred a month per clinician is

00:41:33.217 --> 00:41:34.217
what I would be thinking.

00:41:34.836 --> 00:41:35.398
No,

00:41:35.938 --> 00:41:39.059
this is going to go to something that

00:41:39.260 --> 00:41:40.300
on a sales side,

00:41:40.661 --> 00:41:42.681
it doesn't matter that Dave is using it

00:41:43.021 --> 00:41:44.842
or other therapists would be using it to

00:41:44.943 --> 00:41:47.085
sell a low value product or service.

00:41:47.565 --> 00:41:48.425
The fact is,

00:41:48.525 --> 00:41:50.666
this would be something that could get a

00:41:50.726 --> 00:41:52.867
realtor to sell a three million dollar

00:41:52.887 --> 00:41:53.188
house.

00:41:53.228 --> 00:41:54.829
This would be something that could get,

00:41:54.849 --> 00:41:55.630
you know,

00:41:55.670 --> 00:41:57.630
somebody to buy a twenty million dollar

00:41:57.690 --> 00:41:58.652
yacht like that.

00:41:59.746 --> 00:42:02.996
It should be in that twelve hundred dollar

00:42:03.036 --> 00:42:04.561
a month range is what I would guess.

00:42:05.927 --> 00:42:08.210
So I've done three demos.

00:42:08.309 --> 00:42:09.931
I have another demo with another company

00:42:09.971 --> 00:42:10.771
tomorrow, even though,

00:42:10.891 --> 00:42:13.172
so I'm not the nicest consumer, right?

00:42:13.193 --> 00:42:14.713
Cause I'm going live today with one of

00:42:14.733 --> 00:42:16.175
them going live,

00:42:16.496 --> 00:42:17.936
but then tomorrow I'm still shopping

00:42:17.976 --> 00:42:18.976
around because I want to,

00:42:19.036 --> 00:42:19.818
I want to see what else is out

00:42:19.838 --> 00:42:19.938
there.

00:42:19.978 --> 00:42:20.858
Cause there's something else I didn't

00:42:20.898 --> 00:42:22.659
mention in terms of another like feature

00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:23.139
benefit.

00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:25.581
It's kind of around two hundred and fifty

00:42:25.621 --> 00:42:28.023
dollars to three hundred dollars per month

00:42:28.083 --> 00:42:29.125
per therapist, right?

00:42:29.724 --> 00:42:30.405
Okay.

00:42:30.666 --> 00:42:31.967
Which is actually,

00:42:32.427 --> 00:42:34.088
it's way lower than what Tony was saying

00:42:34.108 --> 00:42:35.471
because you were saying, would you say,

00:42:35.490 --> 00:42:36.871
twelve hundred or fifteen hundred per

00:42:37.052 --> 00:42:37.432
therapist?

00:42:37.952 --> 00:42:38.594
I didn't say it,

00:42:38.753 --> 00:42:40.155
but my guess would have been twenty to

00:42:40.235 --> 00:42:41.235
thirty dollars a month.

00:42:41.456 --> 00:42:43.438
And the reason I said that is.

00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:47.199
I mean, and here's the reason.

00:42:47.501 --> 00:42:48.900
And I didn't look it up first.

00:42:49.041 --> 00:42:50.501
I don't know what app Dave is using.

00:42:50.581 --> 00:42:51.802
I'm looking at a similar app.

00:42:51.882 --> 00:42:53.384
And this is why I quickly look.

00:42:53.403 --> 00:42:53.764
I was like,

00:42:54.123 --> 00:42:55.644
my guess was twenty to thirty dollars a

00:42:55.724 --> 00:42:56.005
month.

00:42:56.085 --> 00:42:57.306
And then I looked up what this one

00:42:57.326 --> 00:42:57.766
is doing.

00:42:58.766 --> 00:42:59.306
Let me take off.

00:42:59.327 --> 00:43:00.186
Well, I don't care.

00:43:00.206 --> 00:43:01.248
I've got their name on the screen.

00:43:01.728 --> 00:43:02.648
I've used a similar tool,

00:43:02.668 --> 00:43:03.748
which is doing something similar.

00:43:04.108 --> 00:43:05.530
Maybe I'd pay a little more because it

00:43:05.570 --> 00:43:07.110
was HIPAA compliant or something.

00:43:07.751 --> 00:43:09.152
But I don't know that I'd pay twelve

00:43:09.172 --> 00:43:09.532
hundred out.

00:43:09.612 --> 00:43:10.393
No way.

00:43:10.733 --> 00:43:12.112
Because how many plans of care would you

00:43:12.134 --> 00:43:12.954
need to do?

00:43:13.313 --> 00:43:14.434
This is going to be a race to

00:43:14.474 --> 00:43:16.896
the bottom quickly, right?

00:43:17.076 --> 00:43:18.757
Like, yeah, this is going to get cheap,

00:43:18.817 --> 00:43:20.818
in my opinion, super fast.

00:43:21.099 --> 00:43:21.759
And that's the thing,

00:43:21.818 --> 00:43:24.539
because it is newer on the market.

00:43:24.621 --> 00:43:26.661
And I've heard Hermosi talk about this.

00:43:26.742 --> 00:43:28.222
I've heard him reference it when he's

00:43:28.242 --> 00:43:30.184
talking about training his sales team.

00:43:31.184 --> 00:43:32.885
But it still doesn't have the market

00:43:32.925 --> 00:43:33.626
penetration.

00:43:34.485 --> 00:43:35.907
It's going to be super expensive,

00:43:35.927 --> 00:43:37.088
or at least I would assume it to

00:43:37.128 --> 00:43:37.387
be.

00:43:37.849 --> 00:43:39.730
And then as more competitors come out,

00:43:39.769 --> 00:43:41.231
as it becomes commoditized,

00:43:41.271 --> 00:43:42.771
the price and the value goes down.

00:43:42.811 --> 00:43:43.271
Guess what?

00:43:43.311 --> 00:43:44.853
Just like physical therapy,

00:43:45.353 --> 00:43:47.474
like physical therapy today to treat a

00:43:47.494 --> 00:43:50.056
shoulder problem is not as valuable as it

00:43:50.097 --> 00:43:50.396
was.

00:43:50.938 --> 00:43:51.918
Fifty years ago,

00:43:52.438 --> 00:43:55.300
because it has been become commoditized.

00:43:55.849 --> 00:43:59.092
I did a video on Jevons Paradox,

00:43:59.132 --> 00:44:00.452
which is something I had no idea what

00:44:00.472 --> 00:44:00.992
the hell it was,

00:44:01.032 --> 00:44:03.275
but Jared Hall did a post on it,

00:44:03.615 --> 00:44:04.795
and it explains that.

00:44:04.876 --> 00:44:06.137
It's when something becomes more

00:44:06.157 --> 00:44:08.639
efficient, we don't use less of it,

00:44:09.460 --> 00:44:10.300
we actually use more of it.

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:13.463
And then the paradox came about when coal

00:44:13.483 --> 00:44:14.643
became more efficient,

00:44:15.144 --> 00:44:15.565
England in the

00:44:25.552 --> 00:44:27.934
My big question for Dave is how did

00:44:27.974 --> 00:44:30.295
your therapist respond to it?

00:44:30.514 --> 00:44:32.315
And then at scale,

00:44:32.635 --> 00:44:35.536
what do you think the majority of physical

00:44:35.577 --> 00:44:37.797
therapists in the market today working

00:44:37.838 --> 00:44:38.458
right now,

00:44:38.818 --> 00:44:40.219
what do you think they would think of

00:44:40.259 --> 00:44:43.460
it?

00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:45.860
I pitched each therapist.

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.402
I got there before I even started it.

00:44:49.523 --> 00:44:50.822
I got there by, I know I,

00:44:50.882 --> 00:44:51.342
at the end of it,

00:44:51.382 --> 00:44:52.423
I did kind of say like,

00:44:53.297 --> 00:44:54.458
It's going to be mandatory,

00:44:55.358 --> 00:44:56.679
but I did say, hey,

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:58.621
this can help with documentation.

00:44:58.641 --> 00:45:00.822
This can help with better conversions.

00:45:00.842 --> 00:45:02.463
This can help you get more results for

00:45:02.503 --> 00:45:04.465
patients, in my opinion.

00:45:05.487 --> 00:45:10.469
This can ease your ability to present the

00:45:10.489 --> 00:45:12.452
plan of care in the first visit and

00:45:12.492 --> 00:45:13.233
get more buy-in.

00:45:13.273 --> 00:45:14.293
My therapists are...

00:45:15.074 --> 00:45:16.735
Ten ninety nine independent contractors

00:45:16.755 --> 00:45:16.976
there.

00:45:17.317 --> 00:45:17.976
Eat what you kill.

00:45:18.297 --> 00:45:20.900
But then also now some with base salary

00:45:21.001 --> 00:45:21.601
and upside.

00:45:21.641 --> 00:45:22.322
So either way,

00:45:23.063 --> 00:45:25.646
if you cover if you do this,

00:45:25.686 --> 00:45:27.007
like if you if you just cover the

00:45:27.047 --> 00:45:28.068
steps that we're talking about,

00:45:28.088 --> 00:45:29.128
we're going to practice it like.

00:45:30.009 --> 00:45:30.469
It's okay.

00:45:30.690 --> 00:45:31.309
I know it's different.

00:45:31.391 --> 00:45:32.992
I know this is something that you're not

00:45:33.052 --> 00:45:35.014
used to from DPT school or your other

00:45:35.054 --> 00:45:35.695
jobs or whatever,

00:45:36.436 --> 00:45:39.298
but you also will earn more.

00:45:39.900 --> 00:45:41.621
And I hit on all the things that

00:45:41.641 --> 00:45:43.063
they said that is important to them.

00:45:43.143 --> 00:45:45.326
So they want to have whatever,

00:45:45.746 --> 00:45:47.768
less paperwork, treat less patients,

00:45:48.228 --> 00:45:48.929
make more money.

00:45:49.170 --> 00:45:51.172
This literally is the conduit to do so.

00:45:52.295 --> 00:45:54.197
I think what was the response though?

00:45:54.237 --> 00:45:55.257
Like, what were they like?

00:45:55.418 --> 00:45:59.579
Every, every single therapist said, cool.

00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:00.019
All right.

00:46:00.059 --> 00:46:00.760
I'm like, I'm in.

00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:01.400
That's fine.

00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:03.300
And even, even my new guy, Andrew.

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:04.461
So he, he was like, you know, Oh,

00:46:04.501 --> 00:46:06.483
the first time he recorded, he said like,

00:46:06.862 --> 00:46:07.902
Oh, like the first, I don't know.

00:46:07.922 --> 00:46:09.123
Like as soon as he hit record and

00:46:09.884 --> 00:46:11.045
he starts his eval, he said like, Oh,

00:46:11.065 --> 00:46:11.585
it was like a little,

00:46:11.844 --> 00:46:13.045
he was thinking like a little maybe

00:46:13.846 --> 00:46:14.567
nervous or whatever.

00:46:14.626 --> 00:46:15.027
But then like,

00:46:15.186 --> 00:46:16.768
as you're evaluating the patient,

00:46:16.788 --> 00:46:17.867
like you forget about it.

00:46:17.887 --> 00:46:18.427
You just do your,

00:46:18.547 --> 00:46:19.688
you're just going to do your normal thing.

00:46:21.277 --> 00:46:21.637
Yeah.

00:46:22.498 --> 00:46:25.340
I was going to say that clinicians in

00:46:25.380 --> 00:46:27.001
general want confidence and competence.

00:46:27.061 --> 00:46:28.744
They want to know, am I good?

00:46:29.103 --> 00:46:29.764
Am I above good?

00:46:29.804 --> 00:46:30.025
Good.

00:46:30.405 --> 00:46:31.465
And then I want to be confident in

00:46:31.505 --> 00:46:31.746
that.

00:46:32.286 --> 00:46:33.208
So I think the people who would be

00:46:33.248 --> 00:46:34.628
afraid of this are people who are like,

00:46:34.869 --> 00:46:36.411
I know I'm terrible and I don't want

00:46:36.431 --> 00:46:37.251
anybody to see this.

00:46:37.391 --> 00:46:37.552
They...

00:46:38.032 --> 00:46:38.532
Exactly.

00:46:38.753 --> 00:46:39.153
And would I,

00:46:39.233 --> 00:46:40.414
would I want to keep them on my

00:46:40.474 --> 00:46:40.856
team?

00:46:41.356 --> 00:46:41.617
No.

00:46:42.177 --> 00:46:42.378
Right.

00:46:42.418 --> 00:46:44.300
So it could help as an earlier off

00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.864
ramp instead of having a therapist stay on

00:46:46.963 --> 00:46:48.365
an extra four to six months.

00:46:48.706 --> 00:46:49.586
And then there,

00:46:49.786 --> 00:46:51.228
then there's like way more issues.

00:46:51.590 --> 00:46:54.072
This could help us exit therapists faster

00:46:54.092 --> 00:46:54.853
that are not the right fit.

00:46:54.893 --> 00:46:54.974
Yeah.

00:46:55.835 --> 00:46:57.556
John Frazier, good to see you, John,

00:46:57.597 --> 00:46:58.617
was a military PT,

00:46:58.637 --> 00:46:59.358
or maybe he still is.

00:46:59.378 --> 00:47:00.117
I thought he said he retired.

00:47:00.579 --> 00:47:02.840
He says he's addressing technology to

00:47:02.900 --> 00:47:05.463
include AI in the upcoming ANKLE CPG

00:47:05.503 --> 00:47:05.842
revision.

00:47:06.063 --> 00:47:07.684
I know very little about CPGs,

00:47:08.324 --> 00:47:09.085
but on purpose,

00:47:09.204 --> 00:47:11.827
they don't redo them often, right?

00:47:11.887 --> 00:47:13.168
It's like a huge deep dive.

00:47:13.548 --> 00:47:14.789
The fact that they're already, like,

00:47:15.030 --> 00:47:17.791
I'm imagining reviewing the ANKLE CPG was

00:47:17.972 --> 00:47:19.492
on the docket, they're already like, oh,

00:47:19.512 --> 00:47:20.293
we need this in there.

00:47:20.474 --> 00:47:21.173
That's fast.

00:47:21.355 --> 00:47:23.396
For research to respond sort of this fast,

00:47:23.456 --> 00:47:24.036
I mean, I know it's not the...

00:47:24.577 --> 00:47:25.538
but it's fast for research.

00:47:25.557 --> 00:47:26.458
So good on you, John,

00:47:26.498 --> 00:47:28.320
because I know how slow the wheels of

00:47:28.380 --> 00:47:30.922
academia move for good reason sometimes,

00:47:31.501 --> 00:47:32.822
but this is good reason to move a

00:47:32.862 --> 00:47:33.664
little faster.

00:47:33.784 --> 00:47:34.264
Ben says,

00:47:34.304 --> 00:47:37.065
someone like Dave who values value and

00:47:37.106 --> 00:47:39.007
values consistency and values the product

00:47:39.047 --> 00:47:40.108
will value this a lot.

00:47:40.789 --> 00:47:42.550
value value value value brought to you by

00:47:42.590 --> 00:47:44.311
values uh someone who is packing a clinic

00:47:44.331 --> 00:47:45.972
with twenty to seven dollar a visit

00:47:45.992 --> 00:47:47.614
patients five times at a time they will

00:47:47.634 --> 00:47:49.394
not no they will never slow down they

00:47:49.414 --> 00:47:51.536
don't even have because yes exactly

00:47:51.597 --> 00:47:53.418
because the clinic is so high volume you

00:47:53.438 --> 00:47:55.119
don't have time to review all these calls

00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:57.001
but even even the insight like the quick

00:47:57.041 --> 00:47:58.262
breakdown exactly

00:47:58.846 --> 00:47:59.485
Drew saying,

00:47:59.706 --> 00:48:00.827
I'd be down to record my patient

00:48:00.847 --> 00:48:02.567
interaction so he knows if he can be

00:48:02.606 --> 00:48:03.786
better at communicating.

00:48:03.987 --> 00:48:04.527
Or, hey,

00:48:05.088 --> 00:48:07.347
you could pair Drew wanting to be better

00:48:07.367 --> 00:48:09.168
at communicating and John saying,

00:48:09.188 --> 00:48:10.268
we're going to put it in the CPG.

00:48:10.289 --> 00:48:12.510
It's like, am I communicating well?

00:48:13.150 --> 00:48:13.769
Am I listening?

00:48:13.789 --> 00:48:14.510
Am I responding?

00:48:14.789 --> 00:48:16.210
Am I doing something clinically well?

00:48:16.251 --> 00:48:16.871
Could I have done?

00:48:17.351 --> 00:48:18.650
I don't know if I've met a therapist

00:48:18.670 --> 00:48:19.791
who's like,

00:48:19.811 --> 00:48:20.652
could I have done something better?

00:48:20.831 --> 00:48:21.791
Who doesn't say that?

00:48:21.831 --> 00:48:22.391
Most of them are like,

00:48:22.411 --> 00:48:23.293
what could I have done better there?

00:48:23.393 --> 00:48:24.492
Now you can see it.

00:48:25.989 --> 00:48:27.110
And the one thing I didn't mention about

00:48:27.130 --> 00:48:29.693
this entire thing is that this has already

00:48:29.733 --> 00:48:33.215
been used for years in home services,

00:48:33.255 --> 00:48:36.797
construction, HVAC, pools, roofers,

00:48:37.237 --> 00:48:37.918
literally everything.

00:48:37.958 --> 00:48:38.898
So the salesperson,

00:48:39.498 --> 00:48:41.940
the sales rep in person goes to someone's

00:48:41.981 --> 00:48:43.902
home, goes to Tony Emeritato's home,

00:48:44.581 --> 00:48:47.204
and they do a free estimate.

00:48:47.224 --> 00:48:48.925
They go through the assessment, whatever.

00:48:49.204 --> 00:48:49.324
They...

00:48:50.606 --> 00:48:52.186
what what what are you looking for what

00:48:52.226 --> 00:48:53.867
type of scope of project whatever it is

00:48:53.887 --> 00:48:55.887
right layout hey what's your what's your

00:48:55.927 --> 00:48:57.628
budget whatever they're going through a

00:48:57.708 --> 00:49:00.510
script this is already used by so many

00:49:00.590 --> 00:49:03.751
industries and there is also used in um

00:49:04.012 --> 00:49:05.351
in dental so one of the companies that

00:49:05.391 --> 00:49:07.552
i have demoed with they have a bunch

00:49:07.572 --> 00:49:09.434
of dental practices because the dentist

00:49:10.233 --> 00:49:12.096
not not the traditional cleanings where

00:49:12.115 --> 00:49:13.956
it's like again high volume but the dental

00:49:14.036 --> 00:49:15.838
the dental practices that are selling you

00:49:15.858 --> 00:49:17.900
know fifteen thousand to fifty thousand

00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:20.061
dollar dentures or full you know sets of

00:49:20.101 --> 00:49:23.885
teeth those are also big dollar amount

00:49:23.905 --> 00:49:25.425
packages whether it's paid up front or

00:49:25.465 --> 00:49:27.447
packages or financing or whatever but

00:49:27.467 --> 00:49:29.289
there's already a lot of dental practices

00:49:29.389 --> 00:49:31.329
using this and i've talked to all these

00:49:31.349 --> 00:49:34.313
companies so far believe it or not i'm

00:49:34.333 --> 00:49:35.773
the first physical therapist to reach out

00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:37.780
So you don't have to say which one

00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:39.581
it is, but what is this called?

00:49:40.161 --> 00:49:41.942
What would you call this?

00:49:42.563 --> 00:49:44.202
It's an AI sales solution.

00:49:45.103 --> 00:49:46.824
Yeah, CPTs wouldn't be searching for that.

00:49:46.885 --> 00:49:48.125
So a suggestion for them,

00:49:48.184 --> 00:49:49.505
call it something different if you want

00:49:49.525 --> 00:49:49.585
to.

00:49:50.425 --> 00:49:52.266
You would need to call it a clinical

00:49:52.306 --> 00:49:52.927
confidence.

00:49:52.947 --> 00:49:53.286
I don't know.

00:49:53.387 --> 00:49:54.228
I won't name it for you.

00:49:54.327 --> 00:49:55.327
AI would be better to do that.

00:49:55.367 --> 00:49:56.648
But don't call it that.

00:49:57.556 --> 00:49:58.597
Don't call it sales.

00:49:58.998 --> 00:49:59.898
Don't do that.

00:49:59.978 --> 00:50:01.539
If you want PTs to ignore something,

00:50:01.860 --> 00:50:03.302
write the word sales on top.

00:50:03.501 --> 00:50:04.643
They will never read past.

00:50:04.902 --> 00:50:05.483
And I love you.

00:50:05.884 --> 00:50:07.304
And I love the fact why you do

00:50:07.344 --> 00:50:07.605
that.

00:50:08.146 --> 00:50:09.347
So call it something different,

00:50:09.427 --> 00:50:11.628
which is like confidence and confidence.

00:50:11.648 --> 00:50:13.230
The clinical confidence and competence

00:50:13.409 --> 00:50:17.913
app, insights, CPG, live CPG creator,

00:50:18.193 --> 00:50:20.235
something like just word salad the crap

00:50:20.275 --> 00:50:20.516
out of it.

00:50:20.536 --> 00:50:21.836
But say seven words that I like.

00:50:22.036 --> 00:50:22.836
Not sales.

00:50:22.958 --> 00:50:25.460
Don't say sales if you want PTs to

00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:25.719
read it.

00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:26.460
This is why...

00:50:28.922 --> 00:50:29.661
Well,

00:50:29.702 --> 00:50:31.722
there are certain therapists that are okay

00:50:31.762 --> 00:50:32.742
with the word sales.

00:50:32.902 --> 00:50:34.804
And those are the ones that will find

00:50:34.824 --> 00:50:36.965
themselves in out-of-network or cash

00:50:36.985 --> 00:50:37.625
practices.

00:50:38.125 --> 00:50:39.085
They want to get coached.

00:50:39.465 --> 00:50:41.246
They're okay with sales.

00:50:41.266 --> 00:50:42.047
They will say to me,

00:50:43.086 --> 00:50:43.907
I'll, I'll, I'll,

00:50:44.047 --> 00:50:45.588
I'll start the conversation with them in

00:50:45.608 --> 00:50:46.009
the beginning.

00:50:46.048 --> 00:50:47.150
If they're looking at it, you know,

00:50:47.170 --> 00:50:48.251
they're reaching out and they're looking

00:50:48.271 --> 00:50:50.271
to, you know, join us and I'll say,

00:50:50.291 --> 00:50:51.012
you know, sale.

00:50:51.072 --> 00:50:52.713
I know some therapists that sales is a

00:50:52.733 --> 00:50:54.275
dirty word, bad word, whatever.

00:50:55.054 --> 00:50:56.556
And how do you feel about it?

00:50:56.576 --> 00:50:57.516
How do you describe, you know,

00:50:57.556 --> 00:50:57.956
we're going to be,

00:50:58.157 --> 00:50:59.217
we're going to be doing sales role play

00:50:59.237 --> 00:50:59.637
today.

00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:01.920
I'm meeting up with my new therapist today

00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:03.121
from, you know,

00:51:03.141 --> 00:51:04.742
it's all thirty to four or whatever.

00:51:05.856 --> 00:51:06.655
A lot of what we're going to cover

00:51:06.675 --> 00:51:09.358
today are his other avowals from this week

00:51:09.818 --> 00:51:10.577
that we recorded.

00:51:10.597 --> 00:51:11.599
And we're going to go through it.

00:51:11.619 --> 00:51:12.878
We're going to use the sales tool,

00:51:13.139 --> 00:51:14.280
but we're also going to go through

00:51:14.900 --> 00:51:16.300
objections and, you know,

00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:17.541
objections and rebuttals.

00:51:17.802 --> 00:51:19.342
Like, hey, this sounds too expensive.

00:51:19.541 --> 00:51:20.302
I need to think about it.

00:51:20.623 --> 00:51:22.103
I wanted to use my Medicare, my insurance,

00:51:22.123 --> 00:51:22.364
whatever.

00:51:22.403 --> 00:51:23.983
And we're going to literally do sales role

00:51:24.003 --> 00:51:24.324
play.

00:51:24.844 --> 00:51:26.905
But that therapist has already opted in to

00:51:26.945 --> 00:51:27.206
this.

00:51:27.385 --> 00:51:28.445
And I agree with you, Jimmy.

00:51:28.505 --> 00:51:29.527
It's not for every therapist.

00:51:29.911 --> 00:51:30.753
That's good, though.

00:51:30.773 --> 00:51:31.494
It's not for everything.

00:51:31.534 --> 00:51:31.793
Good.

00:51:31.833 --> 00:51:33.335
Be the early adopter here.

00:51:34.356 --> 00:51:35.197
We've got nine minutes left.

00:51:35.217 --> 00:51:36.358
We'll do parting shots in a second.

00:51:37.300 --> 00:51:37.820
Later on today,

00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:38.942
I'm going to Graham Sessions.

00:51:39.501 --> 00:51:43.806
I had AI write a movie trailer script

00:51:44.387 --> 00:51:46.110
in a world where reimbursement is

00:51:46.130 --> 00:51:48.552
shrinking, documentation is endless,

00:51:48.692 --> 00:51:50.494
and the profession is under more pressure

00:51:50.534 --> 00:51:50.815
than ever.

00:51:52.396 --> 00:51:54.177
One conference dares to ask the hardest

00:51:54.217 --> 00:51:55.358
questions in physical therapy.

00:51:55.418 --> 00:51:55.898
This week,

00:51:56.358 --> 00:51:57.981
from the APTA Centennial Center in

00:51:58.001 --> 00:51:58.922
Alexandria, Virginia,

00:51:59.222 --> 00:52:00.382
comes the Graham Sessions,

00:52:00.463 --> 00:52:02.784
the theme this year.

00:52:03.264 --> 00:52:05.027
Diamonds are made under pressure.

00:52:05.246 --> 00:52:08.789
Two days, one profession, one room.

00:52:09.530 --> 00:52:10.090
I'm going there.

00:52:10.190 --> 00:52:10.931
It's a bunch of people.

00:52:11.452 --> 00:52:12.873
My question, Dave, just like, I'm out.

00:52:13.393 --> 00:52:14.474
My question to you guys is going to

00:52:14.494 --> 00:52:14.715
be,

00:52:15.014 --> 00:52:16.096
I'm going to live stream and interview

00:52:16.135 --> 00:52:16.677
people from there.

00:52:18.693 --> 00:52:21.297
I want to ask three or four questions.

00:52:21.336 --> 00:52:22.056
I don't want to go crazy,

00:52:22.438 --> 00:52:23.518
but I want to ask the same three

00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:24.318
or four questions.

00:52:24.699 --> 00:52:26.101
What would you want to know?

00:52:26.141 --> 00:52:28.422
Tony is the last person who would want

00:52:28.443 --> 00:52:29.643
to go to Graham Sessions because you're

00:52:29.664 --> 00:52:30.724
like, I'd rather be out doing,

00:52:30.764 --> 00:52:31.565
not talking about it.

00:52:31.626 --> 00:52:33.447
Plus, Tony's like, are there people there?

00:52:33.608 --> 00:52:34.007
I'm good.

00:52:34.208 --> 00:52:35.208
Let's not do that.

00:52:35.248 --> 00:52:36.429
But what would you want to know from

00:52:36.469 --> 00:52:37.471
those people in the room?

00:52:37.510 --> 00:52:39.552
It's a good smattering of our professions.

00:52:39.793 --> 00:52:41.614
CEOs, I hate this word,

00:52:41.655 --> 00:52:43.135
but I'm using quote, thought leaders.

00:52:43.976 --> 00:52:45.117
What are my three questions?

00:52:46.954 --> 00:52:47.934
You tell me.

00:52:48.014 --> 00:52:48.795
What are you thinking?

00:52:49.036 --> 00:52:49.916
My thing would be like,

00:52:50.036 --> 00:52:51.777
I like similarities and differences.

00:52:51.898 --> 00:52:52.599
So I would go like,

00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.880
what surprised you the most so far that

00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:56.722
you didn't see coming?

00:52:57.762 --> 00:53:00.364
What were you hoping to see but haven't

00:53:00.445 --> 00:53:01.644
seen on the docket?

00:53:01.664 --> 00:53:02.065
Like, I like,

00:53:02.106 --> 00:53:03.447
what did you not see or what did

00:53:03.467 --> 00:53:04.286
you want to see?

00:53:05.467 --> 00:53:07.150
What does success look like from the

00:53:07.190 --> 00:53:09.190
conversations in this room five years from

00:53:09.231 --> 00:53:09.391
now?

00:53:09.610 --> 00:53:09.771
Like...

00:53:10.552 --> 00:53:12.152
Those sorts of big picture.

00:53:12.172 --> 00:53:15.114
Because I can ask them generically in a

00:53:15.153 --> 00:53:15.735
good way.

00:53:16.094 --> 00:53:17.755
And I can ask the same thirty people.

00:53:18.695 --> 00:53:21.597
My goal is twenty plus interviews for

00:53:21.677 --> 00:53:22.217
seven minutes.

00:53:22.277 --> 00:53:22.978
I don't want to bog...

00:53:23.018 --> 00:53:24.199
This isn't a let's get into your life

00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:24.498
story.

00:53:24.539 --> 00:53:25.000
This is like...

00:53:25.780 --> 00:53:26.840
tactical boom, boom, boom.

00:53:27.081 --> 00:53:28.001
And I'm going to try to live stream

00:53:28.041 --> 00:53:28.300
from there.

00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:29.501
I'm trying to live stream these things

00:53:29.521 --> 00:53:30.242
because why wouldn't I?

00:53:30.442 --> 00:53:31.483
So I've got a rolling cart.

00:53:31.603 --> 00:53:32.744
I'm bringing the whole studio.

00:53:32.844 --> 00:53:34.103
Everything you're looking at right now is

00:53:34.143 --> 00:53:35.764
coming with me because I want to be

00:53:35.804 --> 00:53:36.425
ridiculous.

00:53:36.445 --> 00:53:37.326
I want to be the guy there with

00:53:37.545 --> 00:53:38.445
stupid headphones on.

00:53:39.567 --> 00:53:40.807
But this is supposedly the room where it

00:53:40.827 --> 00:53:41.288
happens.

00:53:41.708 --> 00:53:42.668
But I want to get it out of

00:53:42.708 --> 00:53:43.989
the room, at least the ideas.

00:53:44.068 --> 00:53:45.750
The whole pitch with Graham Sessions is

00:53:45.789 --> 00:53:47.831
it's the safe space where you won't have

00:53:47.851 --> 00:53:50.092
to attribute Jimmy's crazy idea to Jimmy.

00:53:50.172 --> 00:53:51.413
So Jimmy's free to say it,

00:53:51.432 --> 00:53:53.074
even when Jimmy just says the crazy idea

00:53:53.114 --> 00:53:53.574
most of the time.

00:53:54.034 --> 00:53:55.335
But if you don't want to or you

00:53:55.355 --> 00:53:56.594
might be penalized for it,

00:53:57.114 --> 00:53:58.795
let's make sure the idea gets spread,

00:53:58.976 --> 00:54:00.336
but you don't have to worry about the

00:54:00.376 --> 00:54:01.016
repercussions.

00:54:01.217 --> 00:54:02.177
But I want the ideas to get out

00:54:02.197 --> 00:54:02.657
of a damn room.

00:54:02.677 --> 00:54:04.679
So that's what I'm doing.

00:54:04.699 --> 00:54:05.039
I love it.

00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:06.440
I think those are great questions.

00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:08.721
I'm terrible with that kind of stuff on

00:54:08.740 --> 00:54:09.201
the spot.

00:54:10.141 --> 00:54:11.682
Um, but yeah, the, the,

00:54:11.842 --> 00:54:14.045
what surprised you, you know,

00:54:14.085 --> 00:54:16.007
what did you think we would be doing

00:54:16.086 --> 00:54:17.047
at this point?

00:54:18.728 --> 00:54:20.771
And then what does success look like five

00:54:20.811 --> 00:54:21.771
years from now?

00:54:22.512 --> 00:54:23.032
Um,

00:54:23.052 --> 00:54:25.175
because that gives us a forward indicator

00:54:25.335 --> 00:54:27.717
of not, not if they're right or wrong.

00:54:27.737 --> 00:54:28.677
I don't care about that.

00:54:28.737 --> 00:54:30.519
It's where are they mentally?

00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:32.961
What are they thinking is going to happen

00:54:33.021 --> 00:54:34.063
moving forward?

00:54:34.563 --> 00:54:36.005
That's what I'm so curious about.

00:54:36.737 --> 00:54:37.559
Ben has a good question.

00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:39.719
Did you assume there would be s'mores to

00:54:39.780 --> 00:54:41.262
go with the Graham Sessions,

00:54:41.302 --> 00:54:42.722
which I brought up before and I think

00:54:42.742 --> 00:54:43.583
it's a valid question.

00:54:44.003 --> 00:54:45.684
Something you just made me think of.

00:54:45.905 --> 00:54:47.485
I did interviews at Graham Sessions a

00:54:47.547 --> 00:54:48.146
decade ago.

00:54:48.387 --> 00:54:49.807
They're somewhere on the internet.

00:54:50.168 --> 00:54:51.829
Maybe in my five-hour drive from New York

00:54:51.849 --> 00:54:52.309
to DC,

00:54:52.349 --> 00:54:54.371
I'll listen to them and some of the

00:54:54.391 --> 00:54:55.813
people I interviewed will still be in this

00:54:55.873 --> 00:54:56.313
room again.

00:54:56.333 --> 00:54:56.954
I'll be like, hey,

00:54:56.974 --> 00:54:58.074
remember that thing you were super

00:54:58.094 --> 00:54:58.514
passionate about?

00:54:58.534 --> 00:54:59.215
Did we solve that?

00:54:59.235 --> 00:54:59.516
Did we

00:54:59.695 --> 00:55:01.277
whatever what do we do with that what

00:55:01.297 --> 00:55:02.378
happened with that did we knock that out

00:55:02.398 --> 00:55:04.202
of the park or we just sweep that

00:55:04.242 --> 00:55:05.563
one under the rug like a like an

00:55:05.603 --> 00:55:07.626
old dog turd uh because many of those

00:55:07.666 --> 00:55:09.148
things are the hot topic for a hot

00:55:09.188 --> 00:55:10.289
minute and then we just sort of like

00:55:10.329 --> 00:55:11.451
i guess we're not going to solve that

00:55:11.530 --> 00:55:14.054
moving on uh so that is graham sessions

00:55:14.074 --> 00:55:16.177
i'll be there tony parting shot

00:55:17.050 --> 00:55:18.072
So interesting.

00:55:18.552 --> 00:55:21.434
Yesterday, I went to the dental hygienist.

00:55:21.534 --> 00:55:22.494
I go twice a year.

00:55:23.434 --> 00:55:26.056
This was the first time he had said,

00:55:26.157 --> 00:55:27.498
I see the same guy usually.

00:55:28.057 --> 00:55:30.039
He was like, all right, time for x-rays.

00:55:30.059 --> 00:55:31.139
We're going to do the x-rays.

00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:32.161
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:33.041
He pulls them up.

00:55:33.061 --> 00:55:33.501
He's like, hey,

00:55:33.521 --> 00:55:34.461
I'm going to take a look at these

00:55:34.501 --> 00:55:34.802
first.

00:55:34.882 --> 00:55:36.362
Then I'm going to have AI look at

00:55:36.382 --> 00:55:36.523
them.

00:55:36.563 --> 00:55:38.085
And then the dentist is going to look

00:55:38.105 --> 00:55:38.465
at them.

00:55:39.306 --> 00:55:40.367
And I thought about that.

00:55:40.789 --> 00:55:41.851
And I was like, oh,

00:55:41.871 --> 00:55:42.992
how's that going for you?

00:55:43.552 --> 00:55:44.876
Is AI helpful for you?

00:55:44.916 --> 00:55:46.438
And he was like, it's OK.

00:55:47.099 --> 00:55:48.983
He's not a big tech guy anyway.

00:55:49.996 --> 00:55:51.117
But I was just thinking,

00:55:51.637 --> 00:55:54.079
I wonder if that was his way to

00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:56.940
kind of inform me, hey, we got AI.

00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:57.722
You know,

00:55:57.862 --> 00:56:00.003
he didn't ask if it's okay for AI

00:56:00.023 --> 00:56:00.742
to look at it.

00:56:00.804 --> 00:56:02.505
He just said, hey, I'm going to look,

00:56:02.664 --> 00:56:03.585
AI is going to look,

00:56:03.664 --> 00:56:04.925
and the dentist is going to look.

00:56:05.465 --> 00:56:06.047
And then, of course,

00:56:06.067 --> 00:56:07.027
if we ever get the time,

00:56:07.047 --> 00:56:08.148
maybe another episode,

00:56:08.188 --> 00:56:09.708
we talk about that whole,

00:56:10.329 --> 00:56:12.570
the dental hygienist sees me first.

00:56:13.371 --> 00:56:15.594
The dentist comes in at the very end.

00:56:16.074 --> 00:56:17.476
The dental hygienist says,

00:56:17.835 --> 00:56:18.896
these are the images.

00:56:19.057 --> 00:56:20.018
Everything looks good.

00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:21.460
What do you see, doctor?

00:56:21.701 --> 00:56:23.041
I don't even know the dentist's name.

00:56:23.101 --> 00:56:24.643
That's great.

00:56:25.025 --> 00:56:26.987
Then the dentist pokes in my mouth.

00:56:27.387 --> 00:56:28.768
Twenty seconds, Max.

00:56:28.829 --> 00:56:29.409
He's done.

00:56:29.469 --> 00:56:32.293
He's out the door to me.

00:56:33.434 --> 00:56:34.494
Man, that's my model.

00:56:35.016 --> 00:56:35.275
Like,

00:56:35.396 --> 00:56:37.318
let me have the PTA do all the

00:56:37.358 --> 00:56:37.659
stuff.

00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:39.840
My PTAs are more than capable of doing

00:56:39.900 --> 00:56:41.021
everything that needs to be done.

00:56:41.061 --> 00:56:42.804
If they get into trouble,

00:56:43.445 --> 00:56:45.487
I am there to help take it to

00:56:45.547 --> 00:56:48.849
another level, do what I can do best.

00:56:49.690 --> 00:56:51.110
But there's no need for me to be

00:56:51.150 --> 00:56:53.311
the one in the room the entire time.

00:56:54.030 --> 00:56:54.451
Yeah.

00:56:54.510 --> 00:56:55.550
That was my parting shot.

00:56:55.911 --> 00:56:56.592
Parting shot.

00:56:58.192 --> 00:56:58.512
Gosh,

00:56:59.112 --> 00:57:00.693
I did not have on my bingo card.

00:57:00.972 --> 00:57:02.052
I was hoping Dave was still going to

00:57:02.072 --> 00:57:02.452
be here.

00:57:02.813 --> 00:57:04.413
Words mentioned during this episode that I

00:57:04.432 --> 00:57:05.054
didn't see coming.

00:57:05.134 --> 00:57:06.494
Backdoor, penetration,

00:57:06.994 --> 00:57:08.253
the D word he wants me to delete

00:57:08.353 --> 00:57:09.574
out, and role play.

00:57:09.614 --> 00:57:11.155
Didn't see that coming on PT Breakfast

00:57:11.175 --> 00:57:11.414
Club.

00:57:11.474 --> 00:57:12.355
Maybe you don't have the kids in the

00:57:12.394 --> 00:57:13.094
car when you're listening.

00:57:14.275 --> 00:57:14.815
I would say...

00:57:16.016 --> 00:57:18.378
adopts these technologies we're talking

00:57:18.398 --> 00:57:19.418
about, you don't have to do them all,

00:57:19.478 --> 00:57:20.599
but if you don't do some of them,

00:57:20.681 --> 00:57:21.862
at least slowly at first,

00:57:22.121 --> 00:57:24.744
they will run you over.

00:57:24.884 --> 00:57:26.606
You will get smoked and you will say,

00:57:26.646 --> 00:57:27.527
I never saw it coming.

00:57:27.867 --> 00:57:31.210
I think Hemingway said slowly then

00:57:31.250 --> 00:57:31.610
suddenly.

00:57:32.251 --> 00:57:33.231
Someone else said a little bit

00:57:34.072 --> 00:57:36.675
less poetically uh have things fall apart

00:57:37.275 --> 00:57:38.978
uh slowly at first than all at once

00:57:39.157 --> 00:57:40.659
so if you're not at least touching that's

00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:42.141
what i hope you take away from listening

00:57:42.161 --> 00:57:44.143
to us is like i don't think you're

00:57:44.163 --> 00:57:45.403
going to be an expert none of us

00:57:45.443 --> 00:57:46.864
on this show are experts and all this

00:57:46.885 --> 00:57:48.407
stuff we're all just playing around with

00:57:48.427 --> 00:57:50.268
stuff and then some of this stuff will

00:57:50.307 --> 00:57:52.389
be a fad and it'll it'll go away

00:57:52.429 --> 00:57:55.934
but like play and be be informed be

00:57:56.373 --> 00:57:58.436
informed so you understand this stuff

00:57:58.496 --> 00:57:58.755
All right,

00:57:58.775 --> 00:58:00.056
maybe I'll see you guys live from Graham

00:58:00.077 --> 00:58:00.376
Sessions.

00:58:00.396 --> 00:58:01.398
Tony, I'll report back on Tuesday.

00:58:03.318 --> 00:58:03.498
