00:00:23.902 --> 00:00:25.422
Happy Tuesday morning to you
00:00:25.542 --> 00:00:27.745
as we come to you live at 8.30 a.m.
00:00:27.785 --> 00:00:30.907
on the East Coast on Tuesday, August 6th.
00:00:30.966 --> 00:00:32.847
This is PT Breakfast Club,
00:00:32.889 --> 00:00:33.808
Better Late Than Never.
00:00:33.829 --> 00:00:36.231
I will be joined by my co-hosts,
00:00:36.271 --> 00:00:37.551
Tony Maritato and Dave
00:00:37.631 --> 00:00:38.753
Kittle in just a moment,
00:00:38.792 --> 00:00:40.594
but do want to sort of tee you up.
00:00:40.613 --> 00:00:41.854
We're going to talk about complaints,
00:00:42.576 --> 00:00:44.356
bitches, gripes, moans.
00:00:44.517 --> 00:00:45.317
Everybody's got them.
00:00:46.256 --> 00:00:48.557
and they're usually full of something.
00:00:48.857 --> 00:00:50.338
We're gonna keep this show PG-13.
00:00:50.518 --> 00:00:51.338
I don't know if you got kids
00:00:51.378 --> 00:00:51.999
in the car as you're
00:00:52.018 --> 00:00:52.959
driving to or from the clinic,
00:00:52.978 --> 00:00:53.658
so we'll keep it PG-13,
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:54.740
but I need to let you know.
00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:56.000
We're gonna talk about
00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:56.939
complaints from the
00:00:56.979 --> 00:00:59.261
complaint department and
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.881
some insights into team size,
00:01:02.502 --> 00:01:03.542
which is important, right?
00:01:03.582 --> 00:01:05.683
I mean, hey, if one is good, two is better,
00:01:05.903 --> 00:01:08.584
and three's even greater, right?
00:01:08.864 --> 00:01:09.944
Or is there a problem?
00:01:10.885 --> 00:01:12.084
So that is what we'll discuss today.
00:01:12.105 --> 00:01:12.965
Without further ado,
00:01:12.984 --> 00:01:14.085
let's bring in my co-host,
00:01:15.316 --> 00:01:17.195
From what's round on the end
00:01:17.277 --> 00:01:19.296
and high in the middle, that's Ohio,
00:01:19.376 --> 00:01:20.236
Tony Meritato.
00:01:20.996 --> 00:01:21.957
And from where the Dodgers
00:01:22.037 --> 00:01:23.337
used to roam in Brooklyn,
00:01:23.378 --> 00:01:24.117
there's Dave Kittle.
00:01:24.197 --> 00:01:24.897
Gentlemen, good morning.
00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:26.299
Good morning.
00:01:28.138 --> 00:01:28.399
All right.
00:01:28.978 --> 00:01:29.939
Dave, can you hear us?
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:31.060
No, he can't hear us.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.379
We were going to start with
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:34.801
Dave's idea for this morning,
00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:35.501
but we'll push that back.
00:01:35.521 --> 00:01:36.361
We'll wait until Dave's got
00:01:36.381 --> 00:01:37.180
some internet issues,
00:01:37.721 --> 00:01:38.581
and maybe it's because he
00:01:38.621 --> 00:01:40.522
lives in a busy metropolis.
00:01:40.602 --> 00:01:42.102
But Tony, let's start with you.
00:01:42.162 --> 00:01:43.343
What did you want to talk about today?
00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:44.549
Yeah.
00:01:44.649 --> 00:01:46.412
So, you know, it's funny.
00:01:46.471 --> 00:01:47.733
I didn't realize until you
00:01:47.793 --> 00:01:50.578
said that this is a show all about gripes,
00:01:50.938 --> 00:01:52.801
gripes and complaints and whining.
00:01:54.242 --> 00:01:56.606
So I saw two posts that I
00:01:56.626 --> 00:01:57.748
thought were pretty interesting.
00:01:57.868 --> 00:01:59.331
I'm going to bring one up here.
00:02:00.834 --> 00:02:03.956
This was a question that was
00:02:04.117 --> 00:02:05.418
asked on LinkedIn.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.000
I want to give credit, Tina,
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.662
Tina Patel Ganaldo.
00:02:09.443 --> 00:02:10.304
She asked, you know,
00:02:10.864 --> 00:02:13.287
if as your team gets bigger,
00:02:13.826 --> 00:02:16.289
does it get better, get worse?
00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:17.491
How does it change things?
00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:18.512
She ran a poll.
00:02:19.233 --> 00:02:20.674
So it's interesting about this.
00:02:22.336 --> 00:02:23.896
Size does matter, doesn't it?
00:02:25.638 --> 00:02:28.800
So when I started,
00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:30.020
when I started my practice,
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:32.162
it was a therapist.
00:02:32.222 --> 00:02:33.522
I was not a physical therapist.
00:02:33.562 --> 00:02:35.304
So it was a physical therapist and myself.
00:02:36.884 --> 00:02:37.945
She is now my wife.
00:02:38.346 --> 00:02:40.447
Long story short, four beautiful boys.
00:02:40.586 --> 00:02:41.548
But, you know,
00:02:41.768 --> 00:02:43.808
when we hired our first person,
00:02:43.848 --> 00:02:45.550
that wasn't she or myself.
00:02:46.390 --> 00:02:47.872
It was a very different culture,
00:02:47.972 --> 00:02:48.973
very different team,
00:02:49.013 --> 00:02:51.134
a completely different world.
00:02:51.155 --> 00:02:53.175
As we grew, we opened a second location,
00:02:53.235 --> 00:02:54.116
a third location.
00:02:54.157 --> 00:02:55.937
We hired more PTs, OTs.
00:02:55.997 --> 00:02:57.218
We worked with SOPs.
00:02:57.278 --> 00:02:59.600
We had brought billing in-house.
00:02:59.681 --> 00:03:00.801
We did all of this stuff,
00:03:00.961 --> 00:03:02.962
hired a full-time dedicated marketer.
00:03:03.843 --> 00:03:05.284
As the organization grew,
00:03:05.365 --> 00:03:07.306
the person who was amazing,
00:03:07.387 --> 00:03:10.008
and she was phenomenal on a
00:03:10.068 --> 00:03:11.128
three-person team,
00:03:11.629 --> 00:03:14.111
was miserable on a 30-person team.
00:03:14.692 --> 00:03:14.931
Wow.
00:03:14.972 --> 00:03:15.132
So...
00:03:16.294 --> 00:03:17.235
Does, you know,
00:03:17.254 --> 00:03:19.195
does job satisfaction go
00:03:19.235 --> 00:03:20.576
down for some people?
00:03:21.016 --> 00:03:22.037
But I also think that there
00:03:22.076 --> 00:03:24.038
is a reality that some
00:03:24.078 --> 00:03:26.098
people like working on a big team.
00:03:26.278 --> 00:03:28.300
Some people like hiding in the corner.
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:29.800
Some people like disappearing.
00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:31.580
You know, the bigger the team gets,
00:03:31.621 --> 00:03:32.320
then you get all these
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.701
little subcultures out there.
00:03:34.722 --> 00:03:35.983
So Dave's cracking up.
00:03:37.387 --> 00:03:38.828
you like what's up dave are
00:03:38.848 --> 00:03:39.768
you with us this morning
00:03:40.429 --> 00:03:42.209
morning I just got audio we
00:03:42.269 --> 00:03:44.129
are good a little tech uh
00:03:44.189 --> 00:03:45.230
difficulties but I think
00:03:45.290 --> 00:03:46.170
I'm up and running here we
00:03:46.211 --> 00:03:48.391
go yeah awesome so so real
00:03:48.412 --> 00:03:50.413
quick just to wrap it up um
00:03:50.734 --> 00:03:52.153
you know I i do think that
00:03:52.313 --> 00:03:54.694
we forget as therapists as
00:03:54.735 --> 00:03:55.795
private practice owners
00:03:55.816 --> 00:03:57.736
starting a new business the
00:03:57.856 --> 00:03:59.578
the team that worked at two
00:03:59.638 --> 00:04:02.199
and three members is not
00:04:02.399 --> 00:04:03.560
ever going to be the same
00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:04.900
team that works at 30 and 40 members
00:04:06.501 --> 00:04:08.942
And so what's been your experience, Jimmy?
00:04:08.981 --> 00:04:09.961
You've had different
00:04:09.981 --> 00:04:11.062
opportunities like that.
00:04:11.103 --> 00:04:11.342
Yeah.
00:04:11.423 --> 00:04:11.663
You know,
00:04:13.104 --> 00:04:14.063
this made me think of a
00:04:14.324 --> 00:04:15.525
personality test that I
00:04:15.585 --> 00:04:16.925
took a couple of years ago.
00:04:16.944 --> 00:04:17.605
Have you guys ever heard of
00:04:17.665 --> 00:04:18.545
strengths finders?
00:04:18.586 --> 00:04:18.946
They're all,
00:04:19.266 --> 00:04:20.406
they're all rooted sort of the
00:04:20.425 --> 00:04:20.887
same thing.
00:04:20.947 --> 00:04:21.127
Right.
00:04:21.646 --> 00:04:23.567
And the magic wasn't in the
00:04:23.608 --> 00:04:24.588
results that I got.
00:04:24.687 --> 00:04:25.827
Like, I know it's going to shock you,
00:04:25.848 --> 00:04:27.668
but I got like woo personality,
00:04:27.749 --> 00:04:30.050
communication, idea guy, whatever.
00:04:30.069 --> 00:04:31.110
And I was like, okay, cool.
00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:31.930
But how does this help me?
00:04:32.670 --> 00:04:33.651
the thing that it helped me
00:04:33.690 --> 00:04:34.651
with was when I looked at
00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:36.312
everybody else's on my team
00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:38.331
their results and what I
00:04:38.432 --> 00:04:40.653
found was oh they like
00:04:40.733 --> 00:04:43.892
stuff that I don't and
00:04:43.932 --> 00:04:44.814
because one of my
00:04:44.894 --> 00:04:46.514
personality traits was woo
00:04:46.673 --> 00:04:47.994
winning others over I try
00:04:48.014 --> 00:04:48.954
to make other people happy
00:04:49.095 --> 00:04:50.035
way too much to my own
00:04:50.074 --> 00:04:51.995
detriment um I wasn't
00:04:52.035 --> 00:04:53.456
giving other people tasks
00:04:53.855 --> 00:04:55.156
because I didn't like them
00:04:55.255 --> 00:04:56.755
like spreadsheet stuff is a
00:04:56.776 --> 00:04:58.036
good example so I wasn't
00:04:58.137 --> 00:04:59.557
delegating spreadsheet stuff
00:05:00.076 --> 00:05:00.778
Because in my mind,
00:05:00.798 --> 00:05:02.678
that was a punishment needed to get done.
00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:04.339
But I wanted people to like me.
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.581
So I didn't give it out.
00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:06.903
Meanwhile, that other person was like,
00:05:07.002 --> 00:05:08.223
I love spreadsheet stuff.
00:05:08.244 --> 00:05:08.923
How come he doesn't give me
00:05:08.963 --> 00:05:09.985
more spreadsheet stuff?
00:05:10.564 --> 00:05:12.387
So you sort of made me think of that,
00:05:12.427 --> 00:05:13.348
which is, hey,
00:05:13.728 --> 00:05:14.668
just because a person's
00:05:14.769 --> 00:05:16.029
great on a three person
00:05:16.069 --> 00:05:17.050
team does not mean they're
00:05:17.071 --> 00:05:17.930
going to be great on a 30
00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:19.452
person team because of the
00:05:19.533 --> 00:05:21.814
parts that they liked might be gone now.
00:05:22.355 --> 00:05:23.975
Maybe everything's too big.
00:05:24.136 --> 00:05:27.416
Maybe some of their roles were dispersed.
00:05:27.476 --> 00:05:28.016
Maybe you're like, hey,
00:05:28.036 --> 00:05:29.036
let's take some of the load
00:05:29.096 --> 00:05:30.177
off of this person's plate.
00:05:30.898 --> 00:05:31.898
But the stuff he took off of
00:05:31.978 --> 00:05:33.699
her plate was the stuff she liked,
00:05:33.778 --> 00:05:35.238
was the reason that she was there.
00:05:36.218 --> 00:05:38.519
I worked for Fox Rehab for a
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:39.220
number of years.
00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.281
And the CEO, Tim Fox,
00:05:43.002 --> 00:05:44.021
had a really great line.
00:05:44.141 --> 00:05:45.062
And his line was,
00:05:45.201 --> 00:05:46.742
I know something's wrong.
00:05:47.423 --> 00:05:48.584
When we expand from,
00:05:48.624 --> 00:05:49.625
they started in Pennsylvania,
00:05:49.644 --> 00:05:50.285
then New Jersey,
00:05:50.324 --> 00:05:51.485
then they started expanding out.
00:05:51.826 --> 00:05:52.086
He said,
00:05:52.105 --> 00:05:53.346
I'll know something's wrong when
00:05:53.387 --> 00:05:55.269
someone says it doesn't
00:05:55.309 --> 00:05:56.168
feel the same anymore
00:05:56.309 --> 00:05:57.971
because their whole model was scale,
00:05:58.050 --> 00:05:58.250
right?
00:05:58.290 --> 00:06:00.793
Like individual teams scattered across,
00:06:00.812 --> 00:06:02.254
but you had to have that central culture.
00:06:02.613 --> 00:06:03.754
So just because it worked in
00:06:03.795 --> 00:06:05.656
Pennsylvania and what was working there,
00:06:05.995 --> 00:06:07.137
how do you scale that?
00:06:07.276 --> 00:06:08.017
It's so simple.
00:06:08.057 --> 00:06:08.999
Look at all these unicorn
00:06:09.059 --> 00:06:10.119
companies that go, well,
00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:11.439
we've got a hundred users.
00:06:11.841 --> 00:06:13.502
Let's just put a couple zeros behind this,
00:06:13.882 --> 00:06:16.524
but not everything scales, right?
00:06:17.233 --> 00:06:17.952
And the last thing I'll
00:06:17.973 --> 00:06:18.853
share about this is it
00:06:18.874 --> 00:06:20.475
could also be a communication, like this,
00:06:20.555 --> 00:06:21.355
one of the components is a
00:06:21.375 --> 00:06:22.095
communication issue.
00:06:22.315 --> 00:06:23.696
Have you ever seen this graphic before?
00:06:23.935 --> 00:06:25.257
Tony, Dave, you ever seen that one before?
00:06:25.716 --> 00:06:26.737
It just shows you the line,
00:06:26.798 --> 00:06:27.737
the number of lines of
00:06:27.798 --> 00:06:30.079
communication when you add someone.
00:06:30.098 --> 00:06:31.779
And that's where, when Tony started with,
00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:33.201
hey, with three people, it's simple,
00:06:33.341 --> 00:06:33.540
right?
00:06:33.581 --> 00:06:34.862
It's just Jimmy, Tony, and Dave.
00:06:35.242 --> 00:06:36.783
When you add a fourth person,
00:06:37.603 --> 00:06:38.442
the three lines of
00:06:38.523 --> 00:06:39.423
communication with three
00:06:39.463 --> 00:06:40.444
people become six.
00:06:41.144 --> 00:06:42.704
And by the time you get to 10 people,
00:06:42.783 --> 00:06:45.704
it's 45 lines of communication.
00:06:46.105 --> 00:06:47.285
And to quote Hemingway,
00:06:47.324 --> 00:06:47.904
you didn't think I was
00:06:47.925 --> 00:06:48.966
going to quote Hemingway today,
00:06:49.466 --> 00:06:50.266
the greatest problem in
00:06:50.286 --> 00:06:51.185
communication is when we
00:06:51.206 --> 00:06:51.946
think it's occurred.
00:06:52.245 --> 00:06:54.286
So that's a communication example,
00:06:54.307 --> 00:06:56.127
but not everything scales.
00:06:56.307 --> 00:06:58.168
Bigger isn't necessarily better.
00:06:58.728 --> 00:06:59.327
Dave, what do you think?
00:07:01.014 --> 00:07:02.535
I had some microphone issues,
00:07:02.574 --> 00:07:04.255
so I missed the context of
00:07:04.295 --> 00:07:05.336
the whole intro.
00:07:05.355 --> 00:07:07.016
So I don't really understand
00:07:07.036 --> 00:07:07.797
what you guys are talking about.
00:07:08.297 --> 00:07:09.598
Let me give it to you in 30 seconds.
00:07:09.918 --> 00:07:10.158
Right.
00:07:10.338 --> 00:07:11.319
So essentially,
00:07:11.379 --> 00:07:12.538
we'll bring up that graphic
00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:13.879
again for Dave, which is, hey,
00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:16.560
does does job satisfaction.
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:17.521
So it wasn't team.
00:07:17.581 --> 00:07:18.562
It wasn't team performance.
00:07:18.581 --> 00:07:19.682
She was asking just job
00:07:19.742 --> 00:07:22.564
satisfaction decrease as
00:07:22.663 --> 00:07:23.884
team size increases.
00:07:23.944 --> 00:07:24.324
And it was a.
00:07:25.324 --> 00:07:26.305
It was a poll question,
00:07:26.706 --> 00:07:27.927
but Tony was bringing up like, hey,
00:07:28.026 --> 00:07:30.067
why would or wouldn't it in
00:07:30.127 --> 00:07:30.928
terms of size?
00:07:30.968 --> 00:07:32.290
Biggers is better, right?
00:07:32.350 --> 00:07:33.290
The more, the merrier.
00:07:33.310 --> 00:07:35.831
I mean,
00:07:35.891 --> 00:07:37.572
I think it's going to depend on
00:07:37.632 --> 00:07:38.093
maybe the...
00:07:39.158 --> 00:07:40.358
organization, the leadership,
00:07:40.858 --> 00:07:42.000
also the mission.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:42.620
Is there a mission?
00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:43.620
Is there some North Star
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.161
that they're shooting for?
00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:47.880
We talked about the
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.521
developers at Facebook and
00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:51.081
Google that make 400 grand
00:07:51.122 --> 00:07:51.721
a year or whatever.
00:07:51.742 --> 00:07:53.781
I'm sure they have pretty
00:07:53.802 --> 00:07:54.723
good job satisfaction
00:07:54.762 --> 00:07:55.862
regardless of what product
00:07:55.923 --> 00:07:56.923
or what initiative that
00:07:56.942 --> 00:07:57.543
they're working on.
00:07:58.262 --> 00:07:59.483
And those are massive teams.
00:07:59.524 --> 00:08:00.663
Those are massive companies
00:08:01.244 --> 00:08:02.564
compared to a therapy
00:08:02.584 --> 00:08:03.464
practice that has three
00:08:03.545 --> 00:08:04.584
staff members versus
00:08:05.584 --> 00:08:06.425
20 or 30 or 40.
00:08:07.326 --> 00:08:08.326
I think it probably depends
00:08:08.605 --> 00:08:09.726
on a whole host of things.
00:08:10.567 --> 00:08:12.187
So I could see how it would
00:08:12.228 --> 00:08:14.267
be less job satisfaction as
00:08:14.307 --> 00:08:15.968
a as a practice or as a
00:08:16.009 --> 00:08:16.829
company got larger.
00:08:17.249 --> 00:08:18.050
But at the same time,
00:08:18.709 --> 00:08:20.250
we've all been in big organizations.
00:08:20.591 --> 00:08:22.310
And I think we can vouch or
00:08:22.331 --> 00:08:23.432
at least I can vouch and say,
00:08:23.932 --> 00:08:25.552
I didn't have that much of
00:08:25.591 --> 00:08:26.372
a difference in job
00:08:26.392 --> 00:08:27.673
satisfaction in a smaller
00:08:27.713 --> 00:08:28.673
practice versus a larger.
00:08:28.713 --> 00:08:29.053
But again,
00:08:29.074 --> 00:08:30.434
I think everyone's going to have
00:08:30.473 --> 00:08:32.254
like their own anecdotal experience.
00:08:33.034 --> 00:08:33.515
Ironically,
00:08:33.855 --> 00:08:35.197
big organizations like Facebook
00:08:35.217 --> 00:08:36.099
and Google that you mentioned,
00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:37.320
they work in cells.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.782
They structure it.
00:08:39.702 --> 00:08:40.383
I'm sure it's for other
00:08:40.423 --> 00:08:41.585
reasons to focus on
00:08:41.945 --> 00:08:43.206
projects and get things completed,
00:08:43.225 --> 00:08:45.469
but they actually focus on
00:08:45.528 --> 00:08:46.450
things like that in terms
00:08:46.490 --> 00:08:47.471
of team size and
00:08:47.551 --> 00:08:48.932
understanding who's seeing who.
00:08:50.234 --> 00:08:50.453
Yeah.
00:08:51.787 --> 00:08:53.048
one of the things real quick
00:08:53.227 --> 00:08:54.188
I always think about with
00:08:54.229 --> 00:08:55.649
larger organizations so we
00:08:55.690 --> 00:08:56.890
know elon musk bought
00:08:56.931 --> 00:08:58.613
twitter comes in fire six
00:08:58.653 --> 00:09:00.553
thousand people it's like
00:09:01.154 --> 00:09:02.716
so again we're like okay
00:09:02.755 --> 00:09:03.756
well what's job
00:09:03.777 --> 00:09:05.238
satisfaction how is it
00:09:05.278 --> 00:09:06.278
measured who's who
00:09:06.318 --> 00:09:07.539
determines it obviously the
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.561
person the employee but
00:09:09.741 --> 00:09:10.701
those are six thousand
00:09:10.802 --> 00:09:12.464
unnecessary people you know
00:09:12.504 --> 00:09:13.725
and and I talked to a buddy
00:09:13.764 --> 00:09:14.644
of mine this is this is a
00:09:14.686 --> 00:09:16.047
funny story I'll just share real quick
00:09:16.586 --> 00:09:17.967
So you guys know I went to
00:09:17.988 --> 00:09:19.389
the game Friday night,
00:09:19.528 --> 00:09:20.729
Reds versus Giants.
00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:21.669
We got spanked.
00:09:22.230 --> 00:09:23.370
Guy pitched a no-hitter.
00:09:23.730 --> 00:09:25.412
It's the most boring game
00:09:25.871 --> 00:09:27.232
I've ever been to in my life.
00:09:27.293 --> 00:09:28.793
But then we went back Saturday night.
00:09:28.833 --> 00:09:30.134
We weren't expecting to do this.
00:09:30.153 --> 00:09:33.155
A buddy of mine texts us on
00:09:33.176 --> 00:09:34.856
the way home from the worst game.
00:09:34.876 --> 00:09:36.677
And he's like, hey, we've got box seats,
00:09:36.798 --> 00:09:37.437
four tickets.
00:09:37.979 --> 00:09:39.219
You and your wife, come join us.
00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:40.039
We're like, cool.
00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:40.820
We never did that.
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:41.500
Okay, we'll go.
00:09:42.421 --> 00:09:43.400
we get there I'm talking to
00:09:43.441 --> 00:09:45.581
my buddy um and I'm like so
00:09:45.861 --> 00:09:47.581
explain to me what you do I
00:09:47.642 --> 00:09:48.722
still don't understand what
00:09:48.763 --> 00:09:50.043
you do he works for a big
00:09:50.082 --> 00:09:52.203
insurance company and he's
00:09:52.244 --> 00:09:53.403
like well you know I used
00:09:53.423 --> 00:09:54.803
to do project management
00:09:54.823 --> 00:09:56.225
and then my boss we got
00:09:56.264 --> 00:09:57.504
acquired and all this stuff
00:09:57.524 --> 00:09:58.445
so they just kind of keep
00:09:58.485 --> 00:10:00.086
me around when there's a
00:10:00.125 --> 00:10:01.966
problem I can solve it that
00:10:01.985 --> 00:10:03.046
sounds like a song I know
00:10:03.066 --> 00:10:04.267
that that's a lyric when
00:10:04.287 --> 00:10:05.506
there's a problem if you've
00:10:05.527 --> 00:10:07.628
got a problem you'll all solve it so
00:10:09.827 --> 00:10:10.808
So I'm thinking to myself,
00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:11.749
I'm sitting here, I'm like,
00:10:11.828 --> 00:10:14.029
these therapists, me, we,
00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:16.350
we kill ourselves every
00:10:16.389 --> 00:10:17.410
minute of every day,
00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:18.530
squeezing as much
00:10:18.591 --> 00:10:20.072
productivity as we humanly
00:10:20.152 --> 00:10:21.912
possibly can out of it.
00:10:22.552 --> 00:10:25.133
And this guy, amazing guy, super sweet,
00:10:25.192 --> 00:10:26.254
super nice, very smart.
00:10:27.073 --> 00:10:30.736
He sits there on payroll, mid six figures,
00:10:30.856 --> 00:10:33.359
most likely, until there's a problem.
00:10:33.678 --> 00:10:35.620
And then when there's a problem, I said,
00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.701
you don't actually solve it.
00:10:37.722 --> 00:10:39.203
You go and find the people
00:10:39.264 --> 00:10:42.426
who solve it because you're not a coder.
00:10:42.485 --> 00:10:43.586
You're not a marketer.
00:10:43.647 --> 00:10:44.548
You're not a lawyer.
00:10:44.587 --> 00:10:45.928
You're not any of these things.
00:10:45.989 --> 00:10:46.850
You're a connector.
00:10:47.889 --> 00:10:49.390
And so you go and find the
00:10:49.431 --> 00:10:51.152
people that actually do the work.
00:10:51.231 --> 00:10:52.793
And so to think that a
00:10:52.873 --> 00:10:55.374
company at that scale can
00:10:55.614 --> 00:10:57.514
have people around just in
00:10:57.575 --> 00:10:59.395
case at mid six figure
00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:02.638
salaries is crazy to us
00:11:03.217 --> 00:11:04.759
because we know how hard we
00:11:04.798 --> 00:11:05.779
work and everything we do.
00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:08.520
So again, yeah, he loves his job,
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.980
high job satisfaction.
00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:11.100
But I think somebody else
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.182
who wants to feel like they
00:11:12.221 --> 00:11:13.022
have an impact,
00:11:13.101 --> 00:11:14.062
somebody else who wants to
00:11:14.101 --> 00:11:16.043
keep a patient from going
00:11:16.082 --> 00:11:17.003
to a nursing home and
00:11:17.043 --> 00:11:18.764
staying in their personal residence.
00:11:19.264 --> 00:11:20.224
I don't think that person
00:11:20.244 --> 00:11:21.585
would have job satisfaction
00:11:21.625 --> 00:11:22.304
in that position.
00:11:22.585 --> 00:11:23.664
Can I make a prediction?
00:11:24.125 --> 00:11:25.225
So you just you just
00:11:25.265 --> 00:11:26.666
described like essentially
00:11:28.147 --> 00:11:29.486
my dad was a New York City fireman.
00:11:29.547 --> 00:11:31.246
The gripe between like cops
00:11:31.307 --> 00:11:32.687
and firemen was always funny, right?
00:11:33.227 --> 00:11:33.869
And it was like, well,
00:11:33.889 --> 00:11:35.029
firemen don't do anything.
00:11:35.070 --> 00:11:36.291
They just sit around and wait.
00:11:36.370 --> 00:11:36.892
And I was like, yeah,
00:11:36.912 --> 00:11:37.712
until the bell rings.
00:11:37.793 --> 00:11:39.053
And they didn't do a lot of things.
00:11:39.433 --> 00:11:40.495
But what you just described
00:11:40.514 --> 00:11:41.495
was the fire chief.
00:11:42.317 --> 00:11:43.839
Fire chief wears a helmet,
00:11:43.859 --> 00:11:45.460
but doesn't typically run in the building,
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.023
except when he's needed to
00:11:48.102 --> 00:11:49.144
put the people in the right
00:11:49.183 --> 00:11:50.284
position to stop the fire
00:11:50.304 --> 00:11:51.105
from spreading and save
00:11:51.166 --> 00:11:52.707
people is terribly important.
00:11:52.748 --> 00:11:53.849
So my prediction is this.
00:11:54.946 --> 00:11:55.606
You mentioned sort of
00:11:55.687 --> 00:11:57.087
project management in the future.
00:11:57.967 --> 00:12:00.210
We know now it used to be
00:12:00.711 --> 00:12:02.412
media companies had tech divisions.
00:12:02.471 --> 00:12:03.692
Now tech companies and every
00:12:03.753 --> 00:12:04.653
company has a media
00:12:04.673 --> 00:12:05.914
division or a media person.
00:12:06.394 --> 00:12:07.235
I think there's going to be
00:12:07.255 --> 00:12:09.778
a media person in three to five years,
00:12:09.837 --> 00:12:10.638
maybe even less,
00:12:11.119 --> 00:12:12.159
that's making a lot of
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.801
money and their job is to come in.
00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:15.642
You just described a consultant.
00:12:15.682 --> 00:12:16.482
I'm going to come in and go,
00:12:16.643 --> 00:12:17.384
what's your biggest problem?
00:12:17.903 --> 00:12:19.745
I will not know how to graphic design.
00:12:19.764 --> 00:12:21.025
I won't shoot a video.
00:12:21.086 --> 00:12:22.145
I won't stand in front of a camera.
00:12:22.166 --> 00:12:23.126
I won't hold a microphone.
00:12:23.386 --> 00:12:24.187
But I'll be able to put the
00:12:24.227 --> 00:12:25.567
pieces together to go, okay,
00:12:25.607 --> 00:12:26.828
here's the campaign we should run.
00:12:27.870 --> 00:12:29.210
Because we understand,
00:12:29.431 --> 00:12:31.211
and this is a good radio
00:12:31.231 --> 00:12:33.013
segue into my gripe,
00:12:33.113 --> 00:12:34.273
my complaint of the day,
00:12:34.774 --> 00:12:36.254
which is we're not in the
00:12:36.293 --> 00:12:37.014
healthcare business.
00:12:38.365 --> 00:12:40.186
someone disagreed with me and took a few,
00:12:40.785 --> 00:12:41.166
I don't know.
00:12:41.667 --> 00:12:42.586
I took it, I was like,
00:12:42.706 --> 00:12:44.368
maybe this is a person taking a shot.
00:12:44.388 --> 00:12:46.249
So I'll share the original post.
00:12:47.509 --> 00:12:49.811
I shared this at PT Pinecast on Facebook.
00:12:49.910 --> 00:12:51.371
And the original post was this.
00:12:53.018 --> 00:12:55.339
And I said, healthcare isn't tell business,
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.919
healthcare is show business.
00:12:58.280 --> 00:12:59.801
The faster you realize that,
00:13:00.162 --> 00:13:02.763
the more people you can help, right?
00:13:03.102 --> 00:13:05.063
Now off the bat, Tony,
00:13:05.104 --> 00:13:06.985
does this seem cryptic to you?
00:13:07.024 --> 00:13:08.206
That's a word I want to use
00:13:08.285 --> 00:13:09.385
because I was accused of
00:13:09.405 --> 00:13:10.447
this as being cryptic.
00:13:10.547 --> 00:13:12.908
Does that seem cryptic to you?
00:13:13.548 --> 00:13:15.708
No, that seems pretty straightforward.
00:13:15.729 --> 00:13:16.210
All right.
00:13:16.470 --> 00:13:17.529
Now I can see that someone
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:19.270
doesn't understand it or says like, hey,
00:13:19.311 --> 00:13:19.932
get to the point.
00:13:20.111 --> 00:13:21.231
I thought in three sentences,
00:13:21.432 --> 00:13:22.273
I got to the point.
00:13:23.105 --> 00:13:23.285
Right.
00:13:23.586 --> 00:13:24.847
But I can go deeper and say, hey,
00:13:24.888 --> 00:13:25.567
just because you don't
00:13:25.587 --> 00:13:26.489
understand it doesn't mean
00:13:26.528 --> 00:13:28.390
I was doesn't mean I was sorry,
00:13:28.410 --> 00:13:29.532
just just because I think I
00:13:29.572 --> 00:13:30.273
was clear doesn't mean
00:13:30.413 --> 00:13:31.192
you're going to understand it.
00:13:31.234 --> 00:13:31.913
So here's what I meant.
00:13:32.495 --> 00:13:33.696
If we keep telling people
00:13:33.755 --> 00:13:35.096
that we're evidence based,
00:13:35.116 --> 00:13:36.337
I use this example a lot or
00:13:36.378 --> 00:13:37.678
have these certifications
00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:39.421
or we're the we're the
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:40.782
great report from the APTA
00:13:40.822 --> 00:13:41.403
that they put out that
00:13:41.423 --> 00:13:42.783
showed how fantastic and
00:13:42.823 --> 00:13:44.306
how cost savings we were in
00:13:44.405 --> 00:13:45.206
certain conditions.
00:13:45.606 --> 00:13:46.748
That's telling people.
00:13:47.912 --> 00:13:48.552
what we can do.
00:13:49.494 --> 00:13:50.514
I like it better when I'm on
00:13:50.554 --> 00:13:51.775
Instagram and I see some
00:13:52.035 --> 00:13:54.379
random PT clinic from Iowa.
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:54.918
I don't know why we're
00:13:54.938 --> 00:13:55.759
always making fun of Iowa,
00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:56.902
but no one know where Iowa,
00:13:57.261 --> 00:13:57.822
love you Iowa.
00:13:58.383 --> 00:13:58.482
But,
00:13:58.783 --> 00:14:00.164
and they make a great video about a
00:14:00.205 --> 00:14:00.865
person and what,
00:14:00.966 --> 00:14:01.966
how they helped a person
00:14:02.006 --> 00:14:03.388
get back to doing person things.
00:14:03.629 --> 00:14:05.269
To me, the difference is,
00:14:06.673 --> 00:14:07.633
Tell versus show.
00:14:07.993 --> 00:14:09.734
Show me that person that looks like me.
00:14:09.894 --> 00:14:11.475
The faster you realize that,
00:14:11.514 --> 00:14:12.575
the more people you can help.
00:14:13.034 --> 00:14:13.794
So that is what I was
00:14:13.835 --> 00:14:14.735
getting at with my post.
00:14:14.975 --> 00:14:16.875
But you understand that you
00:14:16.916 --> 00:14:18.057
have to be brief and get there.
00:14:19.336 --> 00:14:20.717
Well, then comes the complaint,
00:14:20.918 --> 00:14:22.878
because the theme today is complaints.
00:14:23.818 --> 00:14:25.099
So I don't know Dave.
00:14:25.458 --> 00:14:26.240
His name looks familiar.
00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:28.039
Maybe I've interacted with him online.
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.480
Dave disagrees and says,
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.261
health care is a money business.
00:14:33.062 --> 00:14:35.523
Let's try stopping these cryptic posts
00:14:36.431 --> 00:14:39.335
Dude, dude, what are you talking about?
00:14:39.375 --> 00:14:40.275
You have a good platform.
00:14:40.336 --> 00:14:41.258
Throw a hard punch.
00:14:41.357 --> 00:14:42.940
Call the APTA out for being
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.780
in bed with Mills.
00:14:43.880 --> 00:14:44.783
Call them out on cuts.
00:14:45.143 --> 00:14:45.663
Follow through.
00:14:45.903 --> 00:14:46.404
Hold on a second.
00:14:46.865 --> 00:14:47.866
Dave lost me real quick.
00:14:47.966 --> 00:14:49.249
Did I mention the APTA at
00:14:49.328 --> 00:14:50.309
all in my original post?
00:14:50.350 --> 00:14:51.692
I don't feel like I did.
00:14:52.525 --> 00:14:53.687
I also don't think I was cryptic,
00:14:53.726 --> 00:14:55.327
but maybe I was unclear.
00:14:56.089 --> 00:14:59.471
Dave continues in his post, hell,
00:14:59.511 --> 00:15:00.373
if you think healthcare is
00:15:00.413 --> 00:15:01.214
truly a business,
00:15:01.714 --> 00:15:02.595
tell me what business can
00:15:02.634 --> 00:15:04.677
survive on three to 15%
00:15:04.677 --> 00:15:06.958
less yearly based on whimsical slashes.
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.220
Look at Prime Day,
00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:10.402
tons of profit on perceived sales.
00:15:10.701 --> 00:15:11.863
Thank you for proving my point, Dave.
00:15:11.942 --> 00:15:13.043
Prime Day is all about attention,
00:15:13.083 --> 00:15:13.764
but we'll keep going.
00:15:14.544 --> 00:15:16.666
You don't need another cash-based PT guru.
00:15:17.285 --> 00:15:18.985
Sorry to the GTs and ALs.
00:15:19.145 --> 00:15:19.765
I think I know what he's
00:15:19.806 --> 00:15:20.485
talking about there.
00:15:20.505 --> 00:15:22.067
You need someone to throw a
00:15:22.147 --> 00:15:24.506
punch and show up the system.
00:15:24.846 --> 00:15:26.008
Again, I don't know who the system is.
00:15:26.107 --> 00:15:27.268
Is APTA the system?
00:15:27.668 --> 00:15:28.447
Is CMS?
00:15:28.567 --> 00:15:29.489
Is insurance companies?
00:15:29.509 --> 00:15:30.089
Because he hasn't brought
00:15:30.109 --> 00:15:31.269
insurance companies up, right?
00:15:31.509 --> 00:15:33.509
So, hey, if someone's being cryptic, Dave,
00:15:33.850 --> 00:15:34.509
I'm a little lost.
00:15:34.649 --> 00:15:35.610
But we're only halfway through.
00:15:35.830 --> 00:15:36.590
Maybe he clears it up.
00:15:38.211 --> 00:15:38.910
You're a part of AOPT.
00:15:40.714 --> 00:15:41.995
because I do communications
00:15:42.014 --> 00:15:43.615
consulting for the Academy
00:15:43.635 --> 00:15:44.917
of Orthopedic Physical Therapy,
00:15:45.417 --> 00:15:46.096
because I think they have a
00:15:46.116 --> 00:15:46.918
lot of good information and
00:15:46.937 --> 00:15:47.597
they need to get it out.
00:15:48.298 --> 00:15:49.219
You're part of AFPT,
00:15:49.558 --> 00:15:52.000
yet no OCS will likely see a raise,
00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:53.761
but we do it for the love
00:15:53.802 --> 00:15:54.542
of patient care.
00:15:55.082 --> 00:15:56.202
Maybe that's why you do it, Dave,
00:15:56.484 --> 00:15:57.063
but please don't
00:15:57.083 --> 00:15:57.844
extrapolate your own
00:15:57.903 --> 00:15:59.205
feelings on the rest of the profession.
00:15:59.644 --> 00:16:00.346
We'll do that ourselves.
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.039
love what I do I hate my
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.341
industry we can no longer
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:06.182
put makeup on this dead pig
00:16:06.201 --> 00:16:07.442
I think it's lipstick on a
00:16:07.482 --> 00:16:08.683
pig but I like the analogy
00:16:09.124 --> 00:16:10.765
we need to be better throw
00:16:10.806 --> 00:16:12.346
a hard punch speak a hard
00:16:12.447 --> 00:16:14.768
truth it's more moving than
00:16:14.807 --> 00:16:17.309
a pleasant eye and really
00:16:17.350 --> 00:16:18.291
really quick this is dave
00:16:18.331 --> 00:16:19.331
graham this is not dave
00:16:19.371 --> 00:16:20.292
kittel this is not a dave
00:16:20.312 --> 00:16:22.514
kittle for dave I just he
00:16:22.573 --> 00:16:23.654
only said his first name I
00:16:23.674 --> 00:16:24.514
got to make sure for the
00:16:24.595 --> 00:16:25.716
audience out there if
00:16:25.735 --> 00:16:26.736
they're listening on audio
00:16:26.756 --> 00:16:27.596
or something okay go ahead
00:16:27.636 --> 00:16:28.638
sometimes I forget we do a
00:16:28.677 --> 00:16:29.818
podcast the radio guy
00:16:29.859 --> 00:16:30.600
forgot we do a podcast
00:16:31.826 --> 00:16:34.226
So I just responded and said, hey, Dave,
00:16:34.267 --> 00:16:35.427
love multiple perspectives.
00:16:35.488 --> 00:16:36.729
Didn't think this was being cryptic.
00:16:37.028 --> 00:16:38.428
Happy to discuss on a live stream.
00:16:38.548 --> 00:16:39.629
What's a good email address?
00:16:39.789 --> 00:16:41.350
I would love to have had him on live.
00:16:41.551 --> 00:16:42.971
He did not respond for comment.
00:16:43.652 --> 00:16:45.072
I DMed him a few days later and said,
00:16:45.113 --> 00:16:46.614
sorry, I didn't get this, whatever.
00:16:47.413 --> 00:16:48.153
So here's the thing.
00:16:48.794 --> 00:16:49.215
Number one,
00:16:49.254 --> 00:16:50.436
I didn't think I was being cryptic.
00:16:50.655 --> 00:16:52.496
And his first line is disagree.
00:16:52.517 --> 00:16:53.677
Healthcare is a money business.
00:16:54.357 --> 00:16:55.197
I also agree.
00:16:55.238 --> 00:16:56.178
Two things can be true.
00:16:57.158 --> 00:16:58.379
You can't really make money
00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.639
unless you get someone's attention.
00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:00.740
Not today you can't.
00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:01.520
Maybe 15,
00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:02.822
20 years ago when it was just
00:17:03.381 --> 00:17:04.762
maybe referral-based or you
00:17:04.782 --> 00:17:06.584
could buy all the media in
00:17:06.604 --> 00:17:08.305
a market at a reasonable
00:17:08.345 --> 00:17:09.925
rate and own the market, right?
00:17:09.945 --> 00:17:11.185
Then you could buy attention.
00:17:11.266 --> 00:17:12.547
Now, you can still buy attention.
00:17:12.586 --> 00:17:13.827
So I do think money is in play.
00:17:14.567 --> 00:17:15.607
But I think the beginning of
00:17:15.788 --> 00:17:16.868
the point of my very
00:17:16.929 --> 00:17:19.109
cryptic quote or post was
00:17:19.851 --> 00:17:21.290
you have to earn attention.
00:17:22.231 --> 00:17:23.112
And I love to bring up
00:17:23.211 --> 00:17:24.133
funnels and pyramids,
00:17:24.173 --> 00:17:26.513
but we love to talk about this no –
00:17:26.513 --> 00:17:27.974
like, trust.
00:17:28.536 --> 00:17:30.616
And that is based on attention, not money.
00:17:31.857 --> 00:17:33.219
Because if I keep paying you
00:17:33.618 --> 00:17:35.201
for you to know, like, and trust me,
00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:36.461
the minute I stop paying,
00:17:36.801 --> 00:17:38.522
the minute you stop knowing me, liking me,
00:17:38.542 --> 00:17:39.564
and trusting me.
00:17:39.804 --> 00:17:41.065
There are relationships like that.
00:17:41.685 --> 00:17:42.905
It's called the oldest profession.
00:17:42.946 --> 00:17:44.627
It's a transactional relationship.
00:17:44.688 --> 00:17:45.709
I will hang out with you as
00:17:45.749 --> 00:17:46.950
long as you are handing me money.
00:17:47.650 --> 00:17:48.931
So I do think healthcare is
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:49.832
a money business,
00:17:49.892 --> 00:17:50.992
but what I'm getting at is
00:17:51.012 --> 00:17:51.932
you have to earn people's
00:17:51.972 --> 00:17:53.473
attention first.
00:17:54.275 --> 00:17:55.175
And then he went into some
00:17:55.236 --> 00:17:56.556
sideways rants about me
00:17:56.596 --> 00:17:58.278
needing to take a shot at the APTA.
00:17:58.298 --> 00:17:59.538
Do you think the APTA is up
00:17:59.577 --> 00:18:00.398
at 830 in the morning
00:18:00.439 --> 00:18:01.500
watching me or caring what
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.619
we're doing on this live stream?
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:03.141
Maybe they are.
00:18:03.201 --> 00:18:03.800
I mean, you know,
00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:04.681
a nice place in my heart.
00:18:06.041 --> 00:18:07.522
I will rap and then get your thoughts.
00:18:07.583 --> 00:18:08.624
My rap is I am a member of
00:18:08.683 --> 00:18:10.105
APTA and here is my
00:18:10.184 --> 00:18:11.965
decision tree for doing so.
00:18:12.006 --> 00:18:13.166
And I'll share this with
00:18:13.227 --> 00:18:13.926
everybody because I was
00:18:14.227 --> 00:18:15.647
talking about this online as well.
00:18:16.489 --> 00:18:18.690
If you agree with APTA and by agree,
00:18:18.869 --> 00:18:19.931
you don't have to agree with everything.
00:18:20.131 --> 00:18:20.931
Just do you think they're
00:18:21.112 --> 00:18:21.852
good for the greater good?
00:18:21.872 --> 00:18:22.673
Are they worth 500 bucks a year?
00:18:24.730 --> 00:18:26.490
If you think so, join APTA.
00:18:27.471 --> 00:18:29.751
If you don't, don't join APTA.
00:18:30.912 --> 00:18:32.113
But both of those lead to
00:18:32.272 --> 00:18:33.512
immediately begin working
00:18:33.553 --> 00:18:35.933
on solving your own problems.
00:18:36.153 --> 00:18:37.115
This fork in the road
00:18:37.295 --> 00:18:38.714
diverges and then comes right back.
00:18:39.275 --> 00:18:39.996
And that's repeat.
00:18:40.336 --> 00:18:40.756
That's it.
00:18:41.496 --> 00:18:43.376
I don't hand APTA $500 and go,
00:18:43.436 --> 00:18:44.376
they've got it from here.
00:18:44.676 --> 00:18:45.877
I'll just sit back and wait
00:18:45.897 --> 00:18:46.778
for them to solve stuff.
00:18:47.218 --> 00:18:48.638
I'm glad they solve problems
00:18:48.778 --> 00:18:49.898
I don't know how to solve,
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.839
agree that needs solving,
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.681
and I'm glad someone else is doing it.
00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.240
just like the person that
00:18:55.320 --> 00:18:57.082
fixes my air conditioning unit.
00:18:57.281 --> 00:18:58.481
No one needs to get done.
00:18:58.501 --> 00:19:00.202
I don't really know how he does it.
00:19:00.303 --> 00:19:01.442
Would hope it comes through.
00:19:01.462 --> 00:19:03.644
But I do check in.
00:19:03.844 --> 00:19:05.423
And every year when I go to
00:19:05.503 --> 00:19:06.664
re-up for 500 bucks,
00:19:06.704 --> 00:19:07.865
I sort of look and decide
00:19:08.045 --> 00:19:10.105
every single year if that
00:19:10.145 --> 00:19:11.746
decision tree is part of it.
00:19:13.665 --> 00:19:15.207
I think Dave Kittle come
00:19:15.247 --> 00:19:16.367
into the conversation,
00:19:16.508 --> 00:19:18.910
you kind of do that.
00:19:19.029 --> 00:19:21.811
You went concierge, cash base,
00:19:21.832 --> 00:19:22.972
you built your business,
00:19:23.073 --> 00:19:25.034
you're not dependent on reimbursement,
00:19:25.074 --> 00:19:26.214
you're not dependent on any
00:19:26.255 --> 00:19:28.016
of the factors that so many
00:19:28.056 --> 00:19:29.958
people tend to complain about now.
00:19:30.698 --> 00:19:34.419
I totally empathize with Dave Grams.
00:19:35.058 --> 00:19:36.519
I relate to what he's saying.
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.500
I understand it.
00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:39.560
I think he's frustrated.
00:19:39.621 --> 00:19:40.901
I think he had that comment
00:19:40.941 --> 00:19:42.121
loaded and ready to go and
00:19:42.161 --> 00:19:43.942
was just looking for a place to share it.
00:19:44.461 --> 00:19:45.521
So I get it.
00:19:46.002 --> 00:19:47.022
But at the same time,
00:19:47.083 --> 00:19:48.423
I want to hear from Dave Kittle.
00:19:50.683 --> 00:19:52.365
You went left when everybody
00:19:52.424 --> 00:19:53.525
else is trying to go right.
00:19:54.962 --> 00:19:55.323
So yeah,
00:19:55.462 --> 00:19:57.884
I'll put some more behind that in
00:19:57.924 --> 00:19:58.244
a second.
00:19:58.345 --> 00:19:59.125
I agree with you, Tony.
00:19:59.205 --> 00:20:00.567
In my mind,
00:20:00.606 --> 00:20:01.907
I was ready to say the exact same thing,
00:20:01.928 --> 00:20:03.648
which is Dave Grahams had
00:20:03.729 --> 00:20:06.391
this preconceived thing about the OCS,
00:20:06.451 --> 00:20:07.991
the APTA, the profession,
00:20:08.632 --> 00:20:13.295
and even the shot at the cash PT gurus,
00:20:13.315 --> 00:20:14.215
whatever.
00:20:14.375 --> 00:20:16.497
He had all of this ready to roll.
00:20:16.596 --> 00:20:18.117
He's been thinking about this stuff for,
00:20:18.137 --> 00:20:19.519
I don't know, years or whatever.
00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:21.921
And your random post about
00:20:22.260 --> 00:20:24.603
healthcare is show business.
00:20:25.303 --> 00:20:27.163
like was not even, um,
00:20:28.084 --> 00:20:29.223
not even a call to action
00:20:29.523 --> 00:20:31.064
for him to post his, his,
00:20:31.324 --> 00:20:32.443
his beliefs and his
00:20:32.483 --> 00:20:33.203
emotions and all that.
00:20:33.944 --> 00:20:36.144
Um, but he just, yeah, Tony,
00:20:36.224 --> 00:20:37.184
he just needed a place.
00:20:37.325 --> 00:20:39.066
He just wanted to get that out there.
00:20:39.246 --> 00:20:40.486
And it's like, there's not,
00:20:40.566 --> 00:20:41.185
I don't really see the
00:20:41.246 --> 00:20:42.405
connection completely.
00:20:42.465 --> 00:20:43.766
Like he,
00:20:44.066 --> 00:20:45.547
his comment is like a separate
00:20:45.567 --> 00:20:46.626
post to itself.
00:20:47.106 --> 00:20:48.047
One seems a little cryptic.
00:20:48.307 --> 00:20:49.406
I wanted to say who hurt you.
00:20:50.387 --> 00:20:51.167
Yes, exactly.
00:20:51.248 --> 00:20:51.708
Exactly.
00:20:51.728 --> 00:20:51.887
Yeah.
00:20:53.632 --> 00:20:54.192
Who hurt you?
00:20:54.771 --> 00:20:56.232
And you being annoyed at
00:20:56.452 --> 00:20:57.794
doing these things and not
00:20:57.834 --> 00:20:58.874
getting the result that you
00:20:58.953 --> 00:21:00.354
thought is completely valid.
00:21:01.434 --> 00:21:03.435
Except those promises weren't made, right?
00:21:03.476 --> 00:21:05.195
We were taught when we take the NPTE,
00:21:05.256 --> 00:21:06.116
make sure you answer the
00:21:06.136 --> 00:21:07.057
question being asked.
00:21:07.537 --> 00:21:07.676
Like,
00:21:07.777 --> 00:21:09.097
make sure you understand the promises
00:21:09.137 --> 00:21:10.357
being made, right?
00:21:10.417 --> 00:21:11.258
And just because someone
00:21:11.337 --> 00:21:13.318
told you this somewhere, oh,
00:21:13.338 --> 00:21:14.779
become an OCS, you'll make more money.
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.760
Did those organizations who...
00:21:18.904 --> 00:21:19.905
I don't like the OCS.
00:21:19.965 --> 00:21:21.248
Like that's not even APTA.
00:21:21.288 --> 00:21:23.810
That's ABPTRFE or ABT.
00:21:23.830 --> 00:21:24.112
I don't know.
00:21:24.132 --> 00:21:25.432
There's a lot of acronyms or
00:21:25.614 --> 00:21:27.215
acronyms in PT, but yeah.
00:21:27.256 --> 00:21:28.116
Who hurt you, Dave?
00:21:28.356 --> 00:21:29.417
Like, let's get you on the show.
00:21:29.458 --> 00:21:30.380
Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:21:31.516 --> 00:21:31.695
Yes.
00:21:31.776 --> 00:21:33.336
But then, so then Tony was saying that,
00:21:33.396 --> 00:21:35.178
you know, we went a different,
00:21:35.198 --> 00:21:35.817
or I went a different
00:21:35.837 --> 00:21:36.958
direction with my practice
00:21:36.998 --> 00:21:38.078
versus what was available.
00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.298
So, you know, that's,
00:21:39.378 --> 00:21:39.980
this is another thing.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.859
Like there's a,
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:41.881
there's a lot of Facebook groups,
00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:43.601
including the,
00:21:43.941 --> 00:21:45.622
there's a New York state PT group.
00:21:45.642 --> 00:21:46.823
Jimmy's probably in, I don't know,
00:21:46.863 --> 00:21:48.943
but in New York,
00:21:48.983 --> 00:21:49.663
like some of these
00:21:49.884 --> 00:21:50.944
insurance payers are paying
00:21:50.984 --> 00:21:54.965
like an embarrassingly low rate,
00:21:55.006 --> 00:21:55.567
like $50 a visit or 60 or
00:21:55.586 --> 00:21:56.186
even 70 or whatever.
00:21:56.247 --> 00:21:56.326
And,
00:21:58.968 --> 00:21:59.949
I guess if you have a volume
00:21:59.969 --> 00:22:00.809
based clinic and you have
00:22:00.829 --> 00:22:01.630
an outpatient clinic,
00:22:01.849 --> 00:22:02.871
maybe you can make it work.
00:22:02.891 --> 00:22:03.852
You got to be really good, though.
00:22:03.872 --> 00:22:04.532
You got to be good
00:22:04.633 --> 00:22:05.753
operationally and also
00:22:05.814 --> 00:22:07.375
legally and compliantly with coding.
00:22:07.394 --> 00:22:08.195
But you got to be really
00:22:08.236 --> 00:22:10.096
good operationally to have
00:22:10.217 --> 00:22:11.598
some model kind of like a
00:22:11.679 --> 00:22:13.921
Tony Maritato model that makes sense.
00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:18.203
And you have a flow and the
00:22:18.243 --> 00:22:19.845
ability to actually make it profitable.
00:22:20.885 --> 00:22:21.826
uh I looked at those
00:22:21.866 --> 00:22:23.686
reimbursement rates and
00:22:23.807 --> 00:22:25.307
hearing hearing all that
00:22:25.347 --> 00:22:27.288
I'm like why like starting
00:22:27.308 --> 00:22:29.450
my practice back in I don't
00:22:29.470 --> 00:22:30.810
know like 2017 or something
00:22:31.230 --> 00:22:32.990
like I'm not gonna go and
00:22:33.672 --> 00:22:34.852
try to even get into these
00:22:34.912 --> 00:22:35.873
insurance in network
00:22:35.893 --> 00:22:36.673
contracts a lot of the
00:22:36.712 --> 00:22:37.693
panels are probably closed
00:22:37.753 --> 00:22:38.913
anyway but it's like why
00:22:38.953 --> 00:22:40.775
would I even go and try to
00:22:40.815 --> 00:22:43.435
do that uh it just I don't
00:22:43.476 --> 00:22:44.276
know I don't know how to
00:22:44.435 --> 00:22:45.297
how well if you tony if you
00:22:45.317 --> 00:22:46.096
want to like ask follow-up
00:22:46.116 --> 00:22:46.798
questions then we can
00:22:46.817 --> 00:22:49.598
dissect it but like I just looked at like
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:52.461
I was doing some part-time
00:22:52.601 --> 00:22:53.441
around Vinitial and
00:22:53.461 --> 00:22:54.221
Vinitial was kind of
00:22:54.300 --> 00:22:55.642
phasing out and I was doing
00:22:55.662 --> 00:22:57.422
some part-time work at two
00:22:57.442 --> 00:22:58.063
different outpatient
00:22:58.083 --> 00:23:01.824
offices and one mobile
00:23:02.844 --> 00:23:04.025
concierge type practice.
00:23:04.585 --> 00:23:07.346
And so I saw the differences.
00:23:07.445 --> 00:23:08.586
I got to see the really
00:23:08.645 --> 00:23:09.465
interesting people that I
00:23:09.507 --> 00:23:10.767
was meeting in their homes
00:23:10.926 --> 00:23:11.686
or like the people that
00:23:11.707 --> 00:23:13.607
were using the mobile practice.
00:23:14.008 --> 00:23:14.827
I thought that was really
00:23:14.847 --> 00:23:16.148
interesting because I thought that
00:23:17.307 --> 00:23:18.487
I was I was potentially
00:23:18.586 --> 00:23:20.508
meeting people that I'm building networks,
00:23:20.827 --> 00:23:21.788
building relationships,
00:23:21.827 --> 00:23:23.148
building connections in the future,
00:23:23.189 --> 00:23:24.068
people who I want to kind
00:23:24.108 --> 00:23:24.969
of potentially become.
00:23:24.989 --> 00:23:25.808
These are my patients or
00:23:25.848 --> 00:23:28.670
clients that seem more interesting to me.
00:23:28.769 --> 00:23:29.829
And then also I could learn
00:23:29.849 --> 00:23:30.671
in between the visits.
00:23:30.750 --> 00:23:32.750
I could put in an audio book
00:23:32.830 --> 00:23:33.872
or a podcast and I could
00:23:34.031 --> 00:23:34.711
learn and I could
00:23:35.854 --> 00:23:37.976
get more perspectives between visits.
00:23:38.016 --> 00:23:39.337
So that's kind of why I went
00:23:39.357 --> 00:23:40.057
that whole path.
00:23:41.078 --> 00:23:42.580
It sounds as if, sounds like,
00:23:42.721 --> 00:23:44.262
I'm channeling Chris Voss here.
00:23:44.282 --> 00:23:47.266
It sounds like you understood,
00:23:47.905 --> 00:23:49.007
you looked at the landscape,
00:23:49.167 --> 00:23:49.948
you assessed it,
00:23:50.269 --> 00:23:51.869
understood what you liked and didn't like,
00:23:52.009 --> 00:23:53.392
and you chose your path accordingly.
00:23:55.154 --> 00:23:55.515
I did.
00:23:55.835 --> 00:23:57.256
And I also did not go on
00:23:57.336 --> 00:24:01.695
Facebook or LinkedIn and have a,
00:24:02.576 --> 00:24:02.936
I don't know,
00:24:03.336 --> 00:24:08.178
a screaming match at the ether to say,
00:24:08.218 --> 00:24:10.698
you know, the APT is against me.
00:24:10.798 --> 00:24:12.038
They have not done anything
00:24:12.118 --> 00:24:13.118
for my student loans,
00:24:13.159 --> 00:24:14.999
which obviously I paid off, you know,
00:24:15.598 --> 00:24:16.240
many years ago.
00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:19.319
I don't complain about the profession.
00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:21.201
I think we have an awesome profession.
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.240
Like we help people.
00:24:23.201 --> 00:24:24.122
There's no side effects.
00:24:24.201 --> 00:24:25.801
There's no we're not selling.
00:24:26.782 --> 00:24:27.363
I don't know the
00:24:27.883 --> 00:24:29.384
pharmaceuticals that have
00:24:29.403 --> 00:24:30.744
side effects or any, you know,
00:24:30.825 --> 00:24:32.566
anything that can result in
00:24:32.586 --> 00:24:34.105
someone going to the hospital.
00:24:34.205 --> 00:24:35.866
I mean, we have an awesome profession.
00:24:36.428 --> 00:24:38.167
I also use what I've learned, by the way,
00:24:38.288 --> 00:24:39.368
one of the most this that
00:24:39.409 --> 00:24:40.288
never gets talked, by the way,
00:24:40.308 --> 00:24:41.170
this never gets talked about.
00:24:42.058 --> 00:24:42.819
The things that I've learned
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.800
as a physical therapist
00:24:43.941 --> 00:24:45.563
with my weekend baseball
00:24:45.583 --> 00:24:46.744
and my aches and pains or whatever,
00:24:46.825 --> 00:24:48.467
how I can treat myself, help myself,
00:24:48.527 --> 00:24:49.868
help my wife, help my family.
00:24:50.548 --> 00:24:53.752
That's worth 250 grand itself, by the way,
00:24:54.094 --> 00:24:54.493
I believe.
00:24:55.095 --> 00:24:55.214
So...
00:24:56.590 --> 00:24:57.832
You never hear this about
00:24:58.432 --> 00:24:59.692
you using your knowledge to
00:24:59.731 --> 00:25:01.133
help yourself with your
00:25:01.153 --> 00:25:01.813
health and wellness and
00:25:01.833 --> 00:25:02.634
longevity and all that.
00:25:03.173 --> 00:25:05.035
That is extremely valuable.
00:25:05.095 --> 00:25:06.115
No one ever talks about it.
00:25:06.935 --> 00:25:07.675
I could go on and on.
00:25:07.715 --> 00:25:08.375
But yeah, I mean,
00:25:08.395 --> 00:25:11.156
I went this path and being
00:25:11.198 --> 00:25:11.758
in New York City,
00:25:11.958 --> 00:25:13.178
also with the cost of like
00:25:13.238 --> 00:25:13.818
rent or whatever,
00:25:14.159 --> 00:25:15.719
with an outpatient office
00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.660
in the beginning, it was like,
00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:18.480
this seems like a low barrier to entry.
00:25:18.780 --> 00:25:20.080
There's flexibility.
00:25:20.181 --> 00:25:21.521
I could get out of it anytime.
00:25:21.582 --> 00:25:22.521
I don't have to sign any
00:25:22.563 --> 00:25:23.103
lease or whatever.
00:25:23.143 --> 00:25:24.762
So there were all these factors.
00:25:24.864 --> 00:25:25.544
But no, I didn't.
00:25:26.044 --> 00:25:28.865
I didn't go on Facebook and you know,
00:25:28.905 --> 00:25:31.228
create a Facebook group or start some,
00:25:31.548 --> 00:25:31.788
you know,
00:25:31.847 --> 00:25:36.951
war with cash PT gurus or the
00:25:37.291 --> 00:25:39.493
APTA or the old guard or
00:25:39.554 --> 00:25:40.794
the new guard or whatever.
00:25:41.855 --> 00:25:42.955
Tony is the person I know
00:25:42.976 --> 00:25:44.416
that complains the least.
00:25:44.596 --> 00:25:45.877
So I'm very eager to hear
00:25:45.917 --> 00:25:46.919
what he has to say about this.
00:25:47.990 --> 00:25:48.410
Oh, okay.
00:25:48.590 --> 00:25:49.790
Well, talk to my wife.
00:25:50.971 --> 00:25:52.814
Let's get her on.
00:25:54.375 --> 00:25:56.336
So two things that Dave
00:25:56.375 --> 00:25:57.277
brought up that I think are
00:25:57.297 --> 00:25:58.076
super important.
00:25:58.217 --> 00:25:59.657
And again, like Dave said,
00:25:59.698 --> 00:26:00.479
nobody talks about.
00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:03.101
If I have a competitive advantage,
00:26:03.580 --> 00:26:05.021
so if I can deliver
00:26:05.102 --> 00:26:08.204
something for less cost to the consumer,
00:26:08.984 --> 00:26:10.286
Why would I not do that?
00:26:10.945 --> 00:26:13.587
If I have scale and I have
00:26:13.627 --> 00:26:14.907
multiple locations and I
00:26:14.948 --> 00:26:16.169
have a team in place and I
00:26:16.209 --> 00:26:17.750
can deliver a service for a
00:26:17.750 --> 00:26:21.071
$50 day rate or a $35 day
00:26:21.332 --> 00:26:23.833
rate and I can still do that profitably,
00:26:24.753 --> 00:26:26.314
isn't it my responsibility
00:26:26.473 --> 00:26:28.315
in some sense to do that,
00:26:28.394 --> 00:26:29.215
to leverage that,
00:26:29.236 --> 00:26:30.436
to take advantage of that?
00:26:31.356 --> 00:26:32.738
bring the cost of care down,
00:26:33.298 --> 00:26:34.577
expose more consumers to
00:26:34.617 --> 00:26:36.519
what we can do and still do
00:26:36.578 --> 00:26:37.358
it profitable.
00:26:37.618 --> 00:26:38.779
But I know that there are so
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:39.980
many therapists who maybe
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.921
don't have that competitive advantage.
00:26:42.381 --> 00:26:43.881
And so they're mad, they're angry.
00:26:43.921 --> 00:26:46.481
They want every payer to pay more,
00:26:46.981 --> 00:26:48.182
but there are other ways to
00:26:48.323 --> 00:26:49.282
get paid more.
00:26:49.623 --> 00:26:51.203
So I think that, you know,
00:26:51.544 --> 00:26:53.084
I know I've seen in
00:26:53.144 --> 00:26:54.325
Facebook groups where
00:26:54.404 --> 00:26:55.805
somebody will be willing to
00:26:55.865 --> 00:26:57.445
take a low paying salary.
00:26:58.105 --> 00:26:59.047
But they've just said it.
00:26:59.067 --> 00:27:00.488
And I did the same thing as Dave.
00:27:00.528 --> 00:27:01.910
Like I took, you know,
00:27:02.089 --> 00:27:03.211
twelve dollars an hour,
00:27:03.310 --> 00:27:05.153
ten dollars an hour before
00:27:05.212 --> 00:27:06.513
I was a therapist to work
00:27:06.554 --> 00:27:08.836
for a place where I'd learned so much.
00:27:09.557 --> 00:27:10.958
We spent hundreds of
00:27:10.998 --> 00:27:12.759
thousands of dollars on our education,
00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:14.300
not even being able to work
00:27:14.361 --> 00:27:16.123
half the time to learn.
00:27:16.262 --> 00:27:17.584
And we paid a price.
00:27:18.085 --> 00:27:19.385
And so it's the same thing now.
00:27:20.426 --> 00:27:21.587
Don't shame somebody,
00:27:21.768 --> 00:27:22.768
whether it be a practice
00:27:22.828 --> 00:27:23.709
owner for accepting a
00:27:23.749 --> 00:27:25.029
thirty five dollar day rate
00:27:25.509 --> 00:27:26.891
or an employed therapist
00:27:26.931 --> 00:27:28.211
for accepting a twenty five
00:27:28.251 --> 00:27:29.451
dollar an hour position.
00:27:29.531 --> 00:27:31.012
Don't shame them for doing
00:27:31.053 --> 00:27:32.074
that because they're doing
00:27:32.114 --> 00:27:33.174
that for a reason,
00:27:33.555 --> 00:27:35.556
whether it be out of necessity or desire.
00:27:36.036 --> 00:27:36.296
You know,
00:27:36.336 --> 00:27:37.856
nobody tells a therapist who's
00:27:37.876 --> 00:27:39.077
going to take a residency
00:27:39.298 --> 00:27:41.940
at a 30 percent cut in salary.
00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:43.840
don't do it,
00:27:44.361 --> 00:27:46.982
there's always a value exchange there.
00:27:47.643 --> 00:27:48.763
And then to Dave's point
00:27:48.804 --> 00:27:50.184
about our education and
00:27:50.305 --> 00:27:51.906
using that in our own lives,
00:27:51.967 --> 00:27:53.387
like you are totally right.
00:27:54.509 --> 00:27:55.769
Every time I get injured,
00:27:55.829 --> 00:27:57.990
every time I get hurt, my kids, my wife,
00:27:58.030 --> 00:27:58.811
whoever it is,
00:27:59.271 --> 00:28:00.873
like I'm using that information.
00:28:00.913 --> 00:28:02.934
Now for me, most of the time it's like, eh,
00:28:03.075 --> 00:28:03.494
it's fine.
00:28:03.595 --> 00:28:04.276
It'll go away.
00:28:04.296 --> 00:28:05.457
I don't know why it hurts.
00:28:05.636 --> 00:28:06.196
It just hurts.
00:28:06.337 --> 00:28:06.978
Don't worry about it.
00:28:06.998 --> 00:28:07.699
It's not dangerous.
00:28:08.615 --> 00:28:10.856
That's what I took from my
00:28:10.856 --> 00:28:11.958
20 years of experience,
00:28:12.337 --> 00:28:14.140
but it is still a huge
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:16.080
value because I also know
00:28:16.141 --> 00:28:17.742
people who have no idea
00:28:17.803 --> 00:28:18.683
what's going on with their
00:28:18.723 --> 00:28:19.564
body and they go to the
00:28:19.624 --> 00:28:20.825
emergency room and they get
00:28:20.845 --> 00:28:21.865
all this imaging and they
00:28:21.905 --> 00:28:24.107
go down that road and
00:28:24.228 --> 00:28:27.570
they'll spend over a decade,
00:28:27.570 --> 00:28:30.413
$250,000 in medical costs.
00:28:30.513 --> 00:28:32.474
So where do we go from here, guys?
00:28:32.535 --> 00:28:35.157
Dave had a topic, back to Fox, I think.
00:28:36.095 --> 00:28:36.355
Yes.
00:28:36.494 --> 00:28:39.416
So I would like to compare
00:28:39.596 --> 00:28:41.978
the business model of so my
00:28:42.278 --> 00:28:43.098
concierge pain relief,
00:28:43.118 --> 00:28:44.180
the business model versus
00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:46.401
Fox Rehab versus Tony
00:28:46.441 --> 00:28:48.082
Meritato's Total Therapy Solutions.
00:28:48.102 --> 00:28:49.502
There's pros and cons to all of them.
00:28:50.363 --> 00:28:51.903
I believe that Fox Rehab,
00:28:52.825 --> 00:28:54.125
even though like I guess
00:28:54.144 --> 00:28:55.145
they're kind of my competitor,
00:28:55.165 --> 00:28:55.705
but not really.
00:28:56.487 --> 00:28:57.626
I think that they have the
00:28:57.646 --> 00:28:58.887
greatest therapy business
00:28:58.928 --> 00:29:00.068
model of all time.
00:29:00.229 --> 00:29:01.108
And I will get into it
00:29:01.189 --> 00:29:02.230
really quickly right now.
00:29:04.090 --> 00:29:05.051
Here's some things that I've
00:29:05.092 --> 00:29:06.251
come across over the past
00:29:06.311 --> 00:29:07.553
maybe year or two with
00:29:07.593 --> 00:29:09.574
certain therapists that I've hired.
00:29:10.594 --> 00:29:10.973
One is,
00:29:11.513 --> 00:29:14.016
so half of our clientele is geriatric,
00:29:14.215 --> 00:29:15.316
neuro, gait, balance.
00:29:15.655 --> 00:29:16.436
But the other half of the
00:29:16.457 --> 00:29:18.678
clientele are busy professionals.
00:29:18.698 --> 00:29:20.538
They could be 40, 50, 60 years old.
00:29:20.578 --> 00:29:21.679
They're lawyers, accountants.
00:29:21.719 --> 00:29:22.740
They work in finance.
00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:23.000
They're
00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:25.882
very stressed, they're very successful,
00:29:25.923 --> 00:29:26.522
they're busy,
00:29:27.384 --> 00:29:28.125
they want someone to come to
00:29:28.144 --> 00:29:28.746
them because they don't
00:29:28.786 --> 00:29:29.967
wanna go to an outpatient office.
00:29:30.428 --> 00:29:31.648
I didn't realize this at first,
00:29:31.989 --> 00:29:33.411
it took me probably too
00:29:33.431 --> 00:29:34.531
many years to realize this,
00:29:35.333 --> 00:29:37.494
but the orthopedic busy
00:29:37.555 --> 00:29:39.076
professional side of the practice
00:29:40.338 --> 00:29:41.219
COVID was a little bit
00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:42.560
easier to schedule visits
00:29:42.661 --> 00:29:43.741
because they were home, right?
00:29:43.761 --> 00:29:44.403
They were doing home,
00:29:44.502 --> 00:29:45.784
they were doing Zoom calls from home.
00:29:46.125 --> 00:29:47.566
So it was easier to schedule.
00:29:48.067 --> 00:29:49.528
But before COVID and now
00:29:49.587 --> 00:29:54.505
let's say last year, 2023 and now 2024,
00:29:54.505 --> 00:29:55.484
Some of my therapists will
00:29:55.505 --> 00:29:56.806
sometimes have difficulty
00:29:57.445 --> 00:29:58.365
scheduling and booking
00:29:58.586 --> 00:30:00.425
these clients for home
00:30:00.465 --> 00:30:02.326
visits because those client
00:30:02.366 --> 00:30:03.426
visits have to be scheduled
00:30:03.547 --> 00:30:06.748
around business travel now,
00:30:06.807 --> 00:30:09.749
which is restored, Zoom calls, meetings,
00:30:09.828 --> 00:30:10.568
in-person meetings,
00:30:10.769 --> 00:30:12.868
Zoom calls that are mandatory, whatever,
00:30:12.929 --> 00:30:13.369
like very,
00:30:13.490 --> 00:30:14.470
very important things that have
00:30:14.490 --> 00:30:14.869
to get done.
00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:15.869
The reason why I'm
00:30:15.910 --> 00:30:18.271
mentioning this is because Fox Rehab is,
00:30:19.333 --> 00:30:20.032
for the most part,
00:30:20.333 --> 00:30:22.634
Medicare Part B. And I've
00:30:22.714 --> 00:30:24.997
known a lot of therapists
00:30:25.037 --> 00:30:25.936
that have worked there.
00:30:26.017 --> 00:30:27.298
Jimmy can maybe shine some light on it.
00:30:27.337 --> 00:30:28.098
But basically,
00:30:28.798 --> 00:30:29.759
I'll say that the therapists
00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.840
that work for Fox Rehab,
00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:32.362
they have a census of a
00:30:32.402 --> 00:30:34.242
bunch of patients that live
00:30:34.262 --> 00:30:35.144
in a certain zip code.
00:30:35.463 --> 00:30:36.223
That's one area that's
00:30:36.265 --> 00:30:37.184
different for us because
00:30:37.244 --> 00:30:39.826
we're marketing to this big
00:30:39.906 --> 00:30:40.688
area of New York City.
00:30:41.347 --> 00:30:42.128
but we don't have a ton of
00:30:42.148 --> 00:30:43.609
patients like in one zip code.
00:30:43.730 --> 00:30:45.451
Fox Rehab has so much saturation,
00:30:45.471 --> 00:30:46.932
which I know took years and
00:30:47.272 --> 00:30:48.374
kudos to them because they
00:30:48.413 --> 00:30:50.476
have mastered the marketing
00:30:50.576 --> 00:30:51.856
and the networking and
00:30:52.198 --> 00:30:53.378
building the brand and all that.
00:30:54.411 --> 00:30:55.131
They'll have a therapist
00:30:55.151 --> 00:30:56.271
that kind of covers like
00:30:56.352 --> 00:30:57.573
one or two zip codes at a time.
00:30:58.253 --> 00:30:59.835
For us right now at our size,
00:31:00.474 --> 00:31:01.435
Fox is massive.
00:31:01.675 --> 00:31:03.057
It's so much easier for them to do that.
00:31:03.737 --> 00:31:05.759
But also the clientele that
00:31:05.818 --> 00:31:06.858
are Medicare Part B are
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.361
obviously 65 or 75 plus.
00:31:09.401 --> 00:31:10.382
They're usually at home.
00:31:10.682 --> 00:31:12.163
They have a very flexible schedule.
00:31:12.182 --> 00:31:13.284
They don't have the Zoom calls,
00:31:13.324 --> 00:31:14.604
the work calls, the work travel,
00:31:14.624 --> 00:31:15.265
anything like that.
00:31:15.825 --> 00:31:17.846
And I'll jokingly say that
00:31:17.906 --> 00:31:19.027
some of these patients will
00:31:19.047 --> 00:31:20.808
kind of say like, yeah, come whenever.
00:31:21.249 --> 00:31:22.710
Or the therapist is like, oh,
00:31:23.269 --> 00:31:23.971
I'll stop in.
00:31:24.790 --> 00:31:25.830
sometime tomorrow.
00:31:26.652 --> 00:31:28.172
My therapists and my clients
00:31:28.192 --> 00:31:29.132
can't do that because half
00:31:29.152 --> 00:31:30.152
of our clientele are the
00:31:30.192 --> 00:31:31.012
busy professionals.
00:31:31.113 --> 00:31:35.733
So Fox Rehab has this, and then also cost,
00:31:35.773 --> 00:31:35.913
right?
00:31:35.953 --> 00:31:37.273
Insurance basically costs
00:31:37.354 --> 00:31:38.153
nothing out of pocket
00:31:38.173 --> 00:31:40.434
versus for my clients, we're saying, hey,
00:31:41.214 --> 00:31:42.095
we don't take Medicare.
00:31:42.134 --> 00:31:44.256
So it's going to be 250, 350 per visit.
00:31:44.615 --> 00:31:45.635
You want a weekend visit,
00:31:45.655 --> 00:31:46.957
it's going to be four or 500 bucks.
00:31:47.356 --> 00:31:50.436
So the consumer, the healthcare consumer,
00:31:50.477 --> 00:31:52.397
the client for us has to
00:31:53.501 --> 00:31:55.403
make a decision to pay a premium rate,
00:31:55.784 --> 00:31:56.746
take out their credit cards,
00:31:56.826 --> 00:31:58.067
sign the paperwork, all that.
00:31:58.106 --> 00:31:59.548
There's a lot more involved
00:31:59.608 --> 00:32:01.691
to get a client onboarded with us.
00:32:02.791 --> 00:32:04.133
And with Tony Meritato, you know,
00:32:04.153 --> 00:32:05.494
or any other outpatient office,
00:32:06.516 --> 00:32:07.416
it's kind of in the middle,
00:32:07.497 --> 00:32:08.657
but then they have to
00:32:08.758 --> 00:32:10.500
actually go and drive there, right?
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.103
So Fox makes it very convenient.
00:32:13.303 --> 00:32:13.784
And there's so...
00:32:14.675 --> 00:32:15.135
Let's do this.
00:32:15.195 --> 00:32:15.695
Let's make sure,
00:32:15.715 --> 00:32:16.477
because we probably should
00:32:16.517 --> 00:32:17.557
have done this first.
00:32:17.636 --> 00:32:18.617
Let me blow through the Fox
00:32:18.698 --> 00:32:19.698
Rehab model because I
00:32:19.738 --> 00:32:22.618
worked there really quickly.
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:23.619
Whatever I missed, yeah.
00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:24.680
Go ahead.
00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:26.240
So it's Medicare Part B,
00:32:27.141 --> 00:32:28.320
which really is outpatient
00:32:28.340 --> 00:32:29.102
PT in your home.
00:32:30.281 --> 00:32:31.502
That's where some people get confused.
00:32:31.643 --> 00:32:32.462
And the first thing I had to
00:32:32.502 --> 00:32:33.363
learn when I started at Fox,
00:32:33.383 --> 00:32:34.344
which is this is not...
00:32:35.491 --> 00:32:37.515
Home care, this is not home health,
00:32:37.974 --> 00:32:38.736
which is a different thing.
00:32:39.116 --> 00:32:40.377
That would be Medicare Part A, right?
00:32:40.417 --> 00:32:41.519
You guys are the experts, right?
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:41.720
Yeah.
00:32:42.540 --> 00:32:44.303
So the model started,
00:32:44.343 --> 00:32:45.644
so this is where you get a little history,
00:32:45.684 --> 00:32:47.346
is Tim Fox was working at a
00:32:47.446 --> 00:32:50.451
clinic and he would get a referral
00:32:51.512 --> 00:32:52.712
And then that person would never show up.
00:32:53.213 --> 00:32:54.193
And he'd follow up and be like,
00:32:54.233 --> 00:32:55.314
where's Mrs. Johnson?
00:32:55.493 --> 00:32:56.194
And it's like, well,
00:32:56.315 --> 00:32:57.795
Mrs. Johnson getting to the
00:32:57.855 --> 00:33:00.715
clinic is too hard for her.
00:33:00.976 --> 00:33:02.176
She can't get to the thing.
00:33:02.217 --> 00:33:02.757
She's thirsty.
00:33:02.797 --> 00:33:03.777
She can't get to the Oasis.
00:33:04.096 --> 00:33:04.657
She ain't gonna make it.
00:33:05.438 --> 00:33:06.938
So he did a thing where he,
00:33:07.258 --> 00:33:08.199
this goes back to full
00:33:08.219 --> 00:33:09.278
circle with my conversation
00:33:09.318 --> 00:33:10.019
with Dave Grams.
00:33:10.179 --> 00:33:11.779
He understood what business he was in.
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.080
So he went to the doctors and said,
00:33:15.661 --> 00:33:17.321
give me your hardest patients,
00:33:17.382 --> 00:33:18.761
the patients that are never gonna make it,
00:33:18.922 --> 00:33:19.063
right?
00:33:19.103 --> 00:33:20.143
They're never gonna make it to the clinic.
00:33:21.229 --> 00:33:23.148
And then he went he told me anyway,
00:33:23.169 --> 00:33:24.730
I don't know how accurate the story is.
00:33:24.750 --> 00:33:26.029
Sometimes it gets a little fairytale.
00:33:26.069 --> 00:33:26.710
We said I went to the
00:33:27.069 --> 00:33:28.109
library or went to wherever
00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:30.530
the Medicare CMS books and looked up.
00:33:30.830 --> 00:33:33.050
Can I provide outpatient physical therapy?
00:33:33.672 --> 00:33:34.912
Does it matter where I am?
00:33:34.971 --> 00:33:36.172
Do I need to have a clinic?
00:33:36.751 --> 00:33:37.873
Do I need to be underneath a
00:33:37.952 --> 00:33:38.932
roof that's certified?
00:33:39.073 --> 00:33:40.232
And from what he could find,
00:33:40.353 --> 00:33:41.393
the answer was no.
00:33:41.752 --> 00:33:43.013
So he did outpatient
00:33:43.054 --> 00:33:44.314
physical therapy in their home.
00:33:45.153 --> 00:33:46.516
And all those things now
00:33:46.536 --> 00:33:47.477
become full circle to what
00:33:47.517 --> 00:33:48.397
Dave was talking about.
00:33:49.038 --> 00:33:49.940
I know from helping to take
00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:51.342
care of my dad for the last eight months,
00:33:52.503 --> 00:33:53.884
I'm juggling my schedule
00:33:54.266 --> 00:33:55.607
and his 35 things.
00:33:55.667 --> 00:33:56.308
And he doesn't want to get
00:33:56.348 --> 00:33:57.589
up before 11 and his other
00:33:57.609 --> 00:33:58.290
doctor's appointments.
00:33:58.832 --> 00:33:59.692
They understood what
00:33:59.752 --> 00:34:00.433
business they were in.
00:34:00.574 --> 00:34:01.275
They weren't in the physical
00:34:01.315 --> 00:34:01.855
therapy business.
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:03.740
They were in the meeting you
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.599
where you are business.
00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:06.260
They were in the simplicity business.
00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:06.681
They were in the
00:34:06.780 --> 00:34:07.861
over-serving you business.
00:34:07.881 --> 00:34:08.201
They were in the,
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.061
they understood their biggest gripes.
00:34:10.601 --> 00:34:12.342
And as they say in 8 Mile, right,
00:34:12.422 --> 00:34:13.422
the last rap battle,
00:34:13.702 --> 00:34:15.503
he took all the bullets out
00:34:15.543 --> 00:34:16.623
of the other person's gun.
00:34:17.103 --> 00:34:17.724
He's like, oh,
00:34:18.103 --> 00:34:19.244
you can't come to a clinic
00:34:19.284 --> 00:34:21.065
because you're so decon, got it, got it,
00:34:21.125 --> 00:34:21.704
got it, got it.
00:34:22.085 --> 00:34:22.925
And that's why their model
00:34:22.965 --> 00:34:23.726
is so fantastic.
00:34:23.786 --> 00:34:24.969
Plus they have really great PTs,
00:34:25.028 --> 00:34:25.869
OTs and SLPs.
00:34:26.170 --> 00:34:27.050
Their clinicians are
00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:28.231
fantastic because they
00:34:28.291 --> 00:34:29.293
understand what business they're in.
00:34:29.793 --> 00:34:31.076
They're now allowed to have a flexible,
00:34:31.115 --> 00:34:32.157
it feels like a commercial for fucks,
00:34:32.516 --> 00:34:34.119
a flexible schedule because
00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:35.141
they work out of their cars
00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:36.242
and they get to work
00:34:36.442 --> 00:34:38.083
exactly for the patients they want to.
00:34:39.025 --> 00:34:40.865
And the organization, the company,
00:34:40.905 --> 00:34:41.626
the practice is like,
00:34:41.907 --> 00:34:42.726
we don't care when you do it.
00:34:42.947 --> 00:34:43.367
Get it done.
00:34:43.527 --> 00:34:44.228
You're a professional.
00:34:44.307 --> 00:34:44.929
You're autonomous.
00:34:45.809 --> 00:34:46.550
Get it done, though.
00:34:46.750 --> 00:34:47.409
Like, get it done.
00:34:47.469 --> 00:34:48.090
Get it done right.
00:34:48.150 --> 00:34:49.512
And they have a ton of quality assurance.
00:34:49.771 --> 00:34:50.532
So it's like, get it done.
00:34:50.632 --> 00:34:51.293
Get it done well.
00:34:52.393 --> 00:34:54.054
And lather, rinse, repeat.
00:34:54.355 --> 00:34:55.175
So that's their model.
00:34:55.335 --> 00:34:56.576
It might look similar,
00:34:57.217 --> 00:34:58.056
but it's a little bit different.
00:34:58.737 --> 00:34:59.277
That's why it works.
00:34:59.518 --> 00:34:59.838
Everywhere.
00:34:59.858 --> 00:35:01.139
Because look around.
00:35:01.418 --> 00:35:02.139
There's older adults.
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:02.719
Look over there.
00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:03.260
Older adult.
00:35:03.581 --> 00:35:03.981
Older adult.
00:35:05.608 --> 00:35:07.809
So Dave, you know Brian Williams.
00:35:08.349 --> 00:35:10.130
Brian Williams has a great
00:35:10.512 --> 00:35:12.592
kind of outpatient in the home business,
00:35:12.793 --> 00:35:15.373
way bigger than I understood initially.
00:35:16.835 --> 00:35:17.655
But I'm gonna ask you,
00:35:17.996 --> 00:35:20.496
so what made like the
00:35:20.617 --> 00:35:22.318
difference between Fox
00:35:22.458 --> 00:35:24.338
growing and scaling to that size,
00:35:24.478 --> 00:35:26.599
Brian growing and scaling to his size?
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.360
I talked to another therapist recently,
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.222
30 clinicians doing
00:35:30.282 --> 00:35:31.322
outpatient in the home.
00:35:31.922 --> 00:35:33.503
And then the other thousand,
00:35:34.164 --> 00:35:36.427
who can barely get enough
00:35:36.646 --> 00:35:38.228
referrals for just them to
00:35:38.429 --> 00:35:39.570
stay busy full time.
00:35:40.831 --> 00:35:41.632
What do you see?
00:35:42.052 --> 00:35:43.273
What's the missing link there?
00:35:43.293 --> 00:35:44.496
Why isn't everybody
00:35:44.576 --> 00:35:46.318
exploding their business in the same way?
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.940
Oh, come on.
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:48.681
That's too easy.
00:35:48.742 --> 00:35:50.003
It's a softball question.
00:35:50.963 --> 00:35:51.364
I mean,
00:35:52.083 --> 00:35:55.085
not everyone has a couple of things.
00:35:55.126 --> 00:35:56.567
Not everyone has the persistence,
00:35:57.068 --> 00:35:58.469
the marketing or the
00:35:58.568 --> 00:36:00.730
operational gusto to
00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:02.650
actually get the patients.
00:36:02.952 --> 00:36:04.172
Yeah.
00:36:04.251 --> 00:36:07.375
Not everyone is marketing or
00:36:07.594 --> 00:36:09.195
has the ability to figure
00:36:09.255 --> 00:36:10.556
out how to get more new patients,
00:36:10.617 --> 00:36:11.797
more prospective patients.
00:36:12.478 --> 00:36:14.862
get them seen, grow a team.
00:36:15.101 --> 00:36:17.125
I think the newer therapists
00:36:17.144 --> 00:36:18.527
that have the solo
00:36:18.547 --> 00:36:20.269
practices or the mobile
00:36:20.309 --> 00:36:21.331
practice owners that are
00:36:21.952 --> 00:36:23.333
solo or have one therapist
00:36:23.373 --> 00:36:23.954
or something like that,
00:36:26.092 --> 00:36:26.853
Maybe there's some of that
00:36:27.032 --> 00:36:28.873
old therapy owner ego that
00:36:28.914 --> 00:36:29.655
like they have to do
00:36:29.695 --> 00:36:31.036
everything and want to, you know,
00:36:31.315 --> 00:36:32.536
all the referrals are to
00:36:32.577 --> 00:36:33.318
them and their name.
00:36:34.318 --> 00:36:34.639
I don't know.
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.159
I mean, I don't,
00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:36.561
there's probably some other things,
00:36:36.621 --> 00:36:38.422
but like people like Brian
00:36:38.442 --> 00:36:40.784
Williams and others, especially Tim Fox,
00:36:40.885 --> 00:36:42.266
which I mean, they're two different,
00:36:43.065 --> 00:36:44.266
slightly two different business models.
00:36:46.268 --> 00:36:47.010
they're in the they're in
00:36:47.030 --> 00:36:48.130
the figure out who you want
00:36:48.150 --> 00:36:48.851
to serve and what their
00:36:48.871 --> 00:36:50.012
biggest problems are game
00:36:50.472 --> 00:36:52.974
and then how they do it how
00:36:53.054 --> 00:36:54.454
they do it is physic how
00:36:54.614 --> 00:36:55.576
what you know it's not what
00:36:55.596 --> 00:36:56.577
they do it's how they do it
00:36:57.528 --> 00:36:59.070
They're both definitely, you know,
00:36:59.130 --> 00:37:00.329
even with us, it's convenient.
00:37:00.389 --> 00:37:02.251
So we are more convenient
00:37:02.291 --> 00:37:03.471
than Tony's practice
00:37:03.490 --> 00:37:04.532
because you have to go drive there,
00:37:04.612 --> 00:37:05.911
even though, of course,
00:37:05.952 --> 00:37:06.952
Tony's got great parking.
00:37:06.972 --> 00:37:08.012
You could drive right up.
00:37:08.072 --> 00:37:10.233
And for some people, that's the beauty of,
00:37:10.574 --> 00:37:10.813
you know,
00:37:10.873 --> 00:37:12.414
just health care and just the business,
00:37:12.594 --> 00:37:13.554
just business in general.
00:37:13.914 --> 00:37:16.215
Some people will never want a home visit.
00:37:16.275 --> 00:37:17.717
They're perfect for Tony's
00:37:17.757 --> 00:37:18.617
practice and any other
00:37:18.677 --> 00:37:20.637
outpatient office in Ohio.
00:37:20.677 --> 00:37:21.257
And, you know,
00:37:21.297 --> 00:37:22.297
they can just drive right up.
00:37:22.358 --> 00:37:23.778
And Tony is like, hey, we got, you know,
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:25.099
You walk five steps,
00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:27.219
you're from your car to the front door,
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.041
like easy peasy, easy, easy parking lot,
00:37:31.141 --> 00:37:32.782
easy to get in and out of the parking lot,
00:37:32.822 --> 00:37:33.141
all that.
00:37:33.161 --> 00:37:34.003
So all that's figured out.
00:37:36.103 --> 00:37:38.204
But I would just with Fox
00:37:38.244 --> 00:37:39.324
Rehab versus like Brian
00:37:39.364 --> 00:37:41.666
Williams or my practice, the the.
00:37:42.925 --> 00:37:44.266
the difference with the convenience,
00:37:44.286 --> 00:37:45.547
like we both offer convenience,
00:37:45.907 --> 00:37:47.168
but the difference of like,
00:37:47.429 --> 00:37:48.250
who's the payer?
00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:49.190
That's all,
00:37:49.731 --> 00:37:51.452
that's a huge factor with scale
00:37:51.592 --> 00:37:52.472
and hiring and all that.
00:37:52.773 --> 00:37:54.034
But then at the same time,
00:37:54.213 --> 00:37:55.134
there's pros and cons, right?
00:37:55.153 --> 00:37:56.175
So like I can pay a
00:37:56.215 --> 00:37:56.835
full-time physical
00:37:56.856 --> 00:37:58.516
therapist way more than Fox Rehab.
00:37:58.896 --> 00:38:00.838
I can pay a full-time physical therapist,
00:38:01.157 --> 00:38:02.079
a hundred grand, 120 grand.
00:38:02.739 --> 00:38:04.240
And Fox Rehab has some
00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:05.340
limitations with their
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.902
upside because of the
00:38:06.942 --> 00:38:08.043
reimbursement of Medicare
00:38:08.063 --> 00:38:09.483
Part B. They can only pay a
00:38:09.523 --> 00:38:12.126
therapist a certain ceiling because,
00:38:12.965 --> 00:38:13.927
there's no change in that
00:38:14.086 --> 00:38:15.507
Medicare Part B reimbursement.
00:38:15.867 --> 00:38:18.088
So 15, 20 years from now,
00:38:18.789 --> 00:38:19.909
Fox Rehab is not gonna be
00:38:19.929 --> 00:38:21.210
able to have pay raises
00:38:21.250 --> 00:38:22.331
built in for their therapist,
00:38:22.351 --> 00:38:24.711
which is a whole other story.
00:38:24.771 --> 00:38:26.793
But there's certainly pros
00:38:26.813 --> 00:38:28.994
and cons in the convenience
00:38:29.034 --> 00:38:30.614
business and the therapy business.
00:38:30.974 --> 00:38:32.956
I think it's understand what
00:38:32.996 --> 00:38:33.795
business you're in.
00:38:33.916 --> 00:38:35.277
Like I started a podcast in 2015,
00:38:35.277 --> 00:38:35.936
it's 2024 and I'm sitting
00:38:35.958 --> 00:38:36.617
here doing it now.
00:38:39.797 --> 00:38:41.559
I've had some pretty good success.
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:42.960
Do you want to know the reasons why?
00:38:42.981 --> 00:38:44.422
Because I showed up twice a week,
00:38:44.523 --> 00:38:46.304
every week for nine and a half years.
00:38:47.025 --> 00:38:48.507
And I understood what business I was in,
00:38:48.547 --> 00:38:49.728
which is I was not the
00:38:49.789 --> 00:38:50.869
smartest physical therapist.
00:38:50.889 --> 00:38:51.650
I was a student when I
00:38:51.670 --> 00:38:52.530
started the podcast.
00:38:52.851 --> 00:38:54.092
I used that to my advantage.
00:38:54.693 --> 00:38:55.735
So I just knocked on doors,
00:38:55.815 --> 00:38:57.215
played the student card and said, hey,
00:38:57.315 --> 00:38:57.976
Becky Bliss,
00:38:58.016 --> 00:38:58.757
can you teach me about
00:38:58.777 --> 00:38:59.878
concussion in 20 minutes?
00:38:59.918 --> 00:39:00.679
And she was like, sure.
00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:02.382
And then I just kept doing that.
00:39:02.802 --> 00:39:04.222
because I was in the education,
00:39:04.242 --> 00:39:05.543
I was probably in the entertainment,
00:39:05.663 --> 00:39:06.663
because I wanted to make it fun.
00:39:06.702 --> 00:39:07.262
Those are my rules.
00:39:07.322 --> 00:39:08.204
I have fun, learn stuff.
00:39:08.523 --> 00:39:10.603
I was in the entertainment, have fun,
00:39:10.623 --> 00:39:11.565
learn stuff business.
00:39:12.704 --> 00:39:13.644
If you're in the delivering
00:39:13.704 --> 00:39:14.445
physical therapy,
00:39:14.465 --> 00:39:15.686
a traditional way business,
00:39:15.965 --> 00:39:17.346
you'll be competing that way.
00:39:17.465 --> 00:39:18.387
And if people don't want that,
00:39:18.427 --> 00:39:19.106
they won't come to you.
00:39:19.286 --> 00:39:21.306
Like this is very, this whole episode,
00:39:21.327 --> 00:39:23.047
we see this happen almost every week.
00:39:23.527 --> 00:39:24.088
We start with,
00:39:24.288 --> 00:39:26.268
we start at 8.15 texting each other.
00:39:26.289 --> 00:39:27.128
We're going live in 15 minutes.
00:39:27.148 --> 00:39:28.329
What the hell are we talking about today?
00:39:28.590 --> 00:39:29.349
And the theme emerges.
00:39:30.364 --> 00:39:31.545
the theme I think today is
00:39:31.786 --> 00:39:32.766
complain all you want it
00:39:32.806 --> 00:39:34.427
doesn't matter the way to
00:39:34.447 --> 00:39:35.949
succeed is understand what
00:39:36.009 --> 00:39:37.349
business you're actually in
00:39:37.809 --> 00:39:39.170
step back and then I like
00:39:39.670 --> 00:39:40.291
you brought this up a
00:39:40.331 --> 00:39:41.311
second ago dave in terms of
00:39:41.351 --> 00:39:42.893
processes it makes me think
00:39:42.934 --> 00:39:44.375
of marcus limonis and his
00:39:44.414 --> 00:39:46.715
three p's people product
00:39:46.775 --> 00:39:48.597
process fox has people
00:39:48.697 --> 00:39:49.878
product process the people
00:39:49.938 --> 00:39:50.639
running your organization
00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:51.960
are they good people or bad people
00:39:52.813 --> 00:39:54.014
If they're not great, get them out.
00:39:54.474 --> 00:39:55.014
That's people.
00:39:55.554 --> 00:39:57.235
Product, what do you actually provide?
00:39:58.016 --> 00:39:58.815
How you provide it is
00:39:58.835 --> 00:39:59.717
physical therapy to go with
00:39:59.737 --> 00:40:00.396
the Fox model.
00:40:00.737 --> 00:40:02.659
What you provide is simplicity, security,
00:40:02.759 --> 00:40:03.219
quality,
00:40:03.398 --> 00:40:04.760
all the things on that pyramid I
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:05.400
love to bring up.
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.521
You can do a whole case
00:40:08.541 --> 00:40:10.003
study on Fox and what they provide here.
00:40:10.503 --> 00:40:11.443
And then process,
00:40:11.463 --> 00:40:13.885
because if there's no process, no scale.
00:40:14.045 --> 00:40:17.626
You cannot, you will remain a solopreneur.
00:40:17.887 --> 00:40:20.168
You will be angry you paid for that OCS.
00:40:20.648 --> 00:40:22.635
You'll rage against the APTA.
00:40:22.815 --> 00:40:23.918
And the APTA is like,
00:40:25.523 --> 00:40:26.485
I didn't I don't even know
00:40:26.525 --> 00:40:27.188
because they understand
00:40:27.228 --> 00:40:28.431
what business they are in.
00:40:32.056 --> 00:40:33.976
One of the things that I
00:40:33.996 --> 00:40:35.077
think it was Seth Godin,
00:40:35.516 --> 00:40:37.478
he has this comparison where he said,
00:40:37.498 --> 00:40:37.717
you know,
00:40:37.757 --> 00:40:38.878
people will go into business
00:40:38.918 --> 00:40:39.579
because they have a whole
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.099
bunch of stuff to sell and
00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:41.980
they're going to go try to
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:43.260
find people to buy the
00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:45.440
stuff they already have,
00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:46.181
or they're going to find
00:40:46.221 --> 00:40:47.661
the people who want to buy
00:40:47.722 --> 00:40:49.342
something and then figure
00:40:49.402 --> 00:40:50.722
out if they can source and
00:40:50.802 --> 00:40:52.523
deliver what it is they want to buy.
00:40:53.083 --> 00:40:55.784
So in my business, you know, yeah,
00:40:56.364 --> 00:40:57.605
I went into it as a
00:40:57.664 --> 00:40:59.945
business person who became a PT.
00:41:00.425 --> 00:41:01.945
So I was like, what's the problem?
00:41:02.065 --> 00:41:03.326
How do I solve this problem?
00:41:03.405 --> 00:41:05.806
Originally for me, I lived on Siesta Key.
00:41:05.847 --> 00:41:07.327
It was a small island community.
00:41:07.347 --> 00:41:08.867
It was a hassle for patients
00:41:08.887 --> 00:41:09.947
to get off the island.
00:41:10.288 --> 00:41:10.568
I'm like,
00:41:10.708 --> 00:41:11.608
I'm going to bring physical
00:41:11.648 --> 00:41:13.028
therapy to Siesta Key.
00:41:13.168 --> 00:41:14.489
I was not a physical therapist.
00:41:15.369 --> 00:41:16.490
But there are a lot of
00:41:16.550 --> 00:41:17.251
therapists who are
00:41:17.271 --> 00:41:18.931
struggling because they're like,
00:41:19.213 --> 00:41:20.293
I am a physical therapist.
00:41:20.452 --> 00:41:21.514
I want to deliver the best
00:41:21.554 --> 00:41:22.394
physical therapy.
00:41:22.474 --> 00:41:24.115
They have 20 years of
00:41:24.195 --> 00:41:25.916
inventory of something that
00:41:25.936 --> 00:41:26.878
they want to sell.
00:41:26.958 --> 00:41:28.059
Now they're trying to find
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:29.739
somebody who is willing to buy it.
00:41:30.139 --> 00:41:31.920
It's a very different locus
00:41:31.940 --> 00:41:32.882
of control with that.
00:41:32.902 --> 00:41:32.961
Yep.
00:41:33.342 --> 00:41:33.501
Yep.
00:41:33.842 --> 00:41:34.003
Yep.
00:41:34.182 --> 00:41:35.563
That's a great way to look at it.
00:41:35.684 --> 00:41:35.884
Right.
00:41:37.224 --> 00:41:38.365
We got to slap that thing down,
00:41:38.425 --> 00:41:39.405
flip it and reverse it.
00:41:39.485 --> 00:41:39.847
Don't we, Dave?
00:41:39.867 --> 00:41:39.967
Yeah.
00:41:41.112 --> 00:41:41.572
We do.
00:41:41.672 --> 00:41:42.072
We do.
00:41:42.273 --> 00:41:44.373
A shout out to my buddy,
00:41:44.514 --> 00:41:46.775
Alyssa Tiffany from college.
00:41:47.175 --> 00:41:48.416
She sent my wife and I this
00:41:48.496 --> 00:41:51.079
video of a physical therapist,
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:53.400
Missy Elliott's private
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:54.762
physical therapist, who, by the way,
00:41:55.262 --> 00:41:57.083
I think he was a Vinitial customer.
00:41:58.103 --> 00:41:58.625
What's his name?
00:41:59.445 --> 00:41:59.864
McKinney.
00:42:00.565 --> 00:42:02.166
Alex McKinney up in Boston,
00:42:02.226 --> 00:42:04.389
marathon physical therapy practice owner.
00:42:04.989 --> 00:42:06.891
And I met him at PPS years ago,
00:42:06.911 --> 00:42:09.452
and I'm pretty sure that he was...
00:42:10.733 --> 00:42:12.893
of initial customer or, or I was, you know,
00:42:12.954 --> 00:42:14.034
he was a prospect or something.
00:42:14.054 --> 00:42:14.434
So I,
00:42:14.653 --> 00:42:16.773
I've known him for years or years ago.
00:42:17.335 --> 00:42:18.394
And this video emerges of
00:42:18.474 --> 00:42:19.775
him dancing backstage.
00:42:19.974 --> 00:42:21.356
And it came out that he's
00:42:22.096 --> 00:42:22.856
Missy Elliott's private
00:42:22.876 --> 00:42:23.615
physical therapist.
00:42:24.016 --> 00:42:26.317
And she posted, she tweeted it.
00:42:26.476 --> 00:42:27.697
She posted the video on,
00:42:27.737 --> 00:42:28.617
I think her Instagram.
00:42:29.077 --> 00:42:29.697
And by the way,
00:42:29.737 --> 00:42:30.918
Missy Elliott or whoever's
00:42:31.257 --> 00:42:31.978
running her account is
00:42:32.398 --> 00:42:33.838
is replying to like
00:42:33.938 --> 00:42:35.039
everyone's comments like
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:35.981
you know obviously he's got
00:42:36.021 --> 00:42:37.521
like kind of quirky dance
00:42:37.581 --> 00:42:39.043
moves and you know that's
00:42:39.063 --> 00:42:39.764
kind of like the funny
00:42:39.784 --> 00:42:41.365
thing but like she's giving
00:42:41.405 --> 00:42:42.726
him so much kudos and she's
00:42:42.746 --> 00:42:44.148
like she also said I don't
00:42:44.168 --> 00:42:45.028
know if you do you have it
00:42:45.048 --> 00:42:45.768
do you want to screen share
00:42:45.789 --> 00:42:47.130
it or do you need a video yeah
00:43:04.588 --> 00:43:07.289
Dude is living his best life, dude.
00:43:08.028 --> 00:43:08.449
Absolutely.
00:43:08.489 --> 00:43:09.789
So the video is one thing.
00:43:09.989 --> 00:43:12.289
Do you have access to the
00:43:12.349 --> 00:43:14.110
tweet or the caption?
00:43:14.170 --> 00:43:15.010
No, I just grabbed the video.
00:43:15.030 --> 00:43:15.809
I just grabbed the video.
00:43:16.449 --> 00:43:16.969
All right.
00:43:17.411 --> 00:43:18.451
She said something along the
00:43:18.471 --> 00:43:19.590
lines of keeping me and my
00:43:19.650 --> 00:43:22.471
dancers at our top, keeping them on tour.
00:43:23.152 --> 00:43:24.112
This is Missy Elliott
00:43:24.251 --> 00:43:25.751
understanding what business she's in.
00:43:25.851 --> 00:43:27.152
She's in the longevity business.
00:43:27.532 --> 00:43:28.512
How she stays in the
00:43:28.552 --> 00:43:29.512
longevity business is...
00:43:30.512 --> 00:43:32.893
performing over delivering, right?
00:43:32.914 --> 00:43:33.994
She understands what business she is.
00:43:34.135 --> 00:43:35.516
This dude understood what
00:43:35.556 --> 00:43:36.315
business he was in.
00:43:36.335 --> 00:43:37.097
I don't know how he got
00:43:37.117 --> 00:43:38.177
hooked up with Missy Elliott,
00:43:38.777 --> 00:43:40.259
but he was like, well,
00:43:40.378 --> 00:43:41.119
I know what I sell.
00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:42.420
Let's find people that need that.
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:45.501
So I'll read the caption really quickly.
00:43:45.661 --> 00:43:47.443
Missy Elliott, who, by the way, has
00:43:48.860 --> 00:43:51.702
my phone, I'll look at the followers after,
00:43:51.742 --> 00:43:52.902
but she's got millions of followers.
00:43:53.322 --> 00:43:53.623
She said,
00:43:53.663 --> 00:43:55.123
my physical therapist on the road
00:43:55.164 --> 00:43:56.844
with me is my biggest cheerleader.
00:43:56.965 --> 00:43:57.626
Every show,
00:43:58.045 --> 00:43:59.246
not only is he making sure my
00:43:59.347 --> 00:44:00.467
joints are warmed up,
00:44:01.027 --> 00:44:02.068
he is on the side of the
00:44:02.128 --> 00:44:03.148
stage making sure all my
00:44:03.228 --> 00:44:05.391
dancers energy stays up.
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:09.920
He'd be doing his own dance moves though.
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:10.559
Love it.
00:44:11.099 --> 00:44:12.181
He is good energy.
00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:13.041
Get it, Alex.
00:44:13.101 --> 00:44:16.541
And then she tags his Instagram account,
00:44:16.621 --> 00:44:17.682
his username.
00:44:18.543 --> 00:44:20.403
And so then he gets, I mean,
00:44:20.423 --> 00:44:21.284
I think last night he only
00:44:21.324 --> 00:44:25.385
had like five or 600 followers.
00:44:26.005 --> 00:44:29.246
She's got 5.5 million just on Instagram.
00:44:29.266 --> 00:44:30.927
And I think she also tweeted this as well.
00:44:30.967 --> 00:44:32.047
So like, who don't-
00:44:32.688 --> 00:44:34.630
kudos to her and her her
00:44:34.670 --> 00:44:36.351

00:44:36.371 --> 00:44:37.391

00:44:37.452 --> 00:44:38.753
physical therapist and the
00:44:38.793 --> 00:44:40.114
fact that this now gets out
00:44:40.153 --> 00:44:41.554
into millions in front of
00:44:41.635 --> 00:44:43.036

00:44:54.985 --> 00:44:56.206

missy misdemeanor elliott
00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:09.250
come on I didn't think we
00:45:09.269 --> 00:45:10.170
were gonna be talking missy
00:45:10.210 --> 00:45:11.190
elliott but this guy
00:45:11.231 --> 00:45:12.331
understood the assignment
00:45:13.070 --> 00:45:14.112
and you can't too I mean I
00:45:14.152 --> 00:45:14.791
talked I've talked to
00:45:14.831 --> 00:45:16.811
people who are formula one
00:45:17.472 --> 00:45:19.333
driver pts like that's
00:45:19.373 --> 00:45:20.733
super niche you that
00:45:20.793 --> 00:45:21.472
there's no there's no
00:45:21.532 --> 00:45:22.514
reason for them to hire you
00:45:22.574 --> 00:45:24.213
except they understand that their neck
00:45:26.126 --> 00:45:28.068
needs to be in shape or they don't drive.
00:45:28.168 --> 00:45:28.648
They don't drive.
00:45:28.668 --> 00:45:29.168
They don't make money.
00:45:29.188 --> 00:45:29.588
They don't money.
00:45:29.608 --> 00:45:30.349
They don't make money.
00:45:30.369 --> 00:45:30.889
They don't eat.
00:45:31.728 --> 00:45:33.769
So understand, like find those people,
00:45:34.210 --> 00:45:35.150
find those people you want
00:45:35.190 --> 00:45:36.670
to be around and figure out
00:45:36.710 --> 00:45:38.351
how you can over-serve those people.
00:45:39.711 --> 00:45:42.293
So now is this Alex's Hawk to a moment?
00:45:42.472 --> 00:45:43.873
Like, is this, yes.
00:45:47.056 --> 00:45:47.617
Exactly.
00:45:47.637 --> 00:45:51.119
I just sent him a connection
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:52.358
request through LinkedIn.
00:45:52.398 --> 00:45:53.179
So let's see.
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.619
Let's see.
00:45:54.699 --> 00:45:56.740
Can we live try to get him on the show?
00:45:56.860 --> 00:45:57.380
Like, Dave,
00:45:58.021 --> 00:46:01.282
can your people talk to his people?
00:46:01.442 --> 00:46:02.003
How does this work?
00:46:03.262 --> 00:46:04.242
I mean,
00:46:05.184 --> 00:46:06.903
I haven't thought that he's working.
00:46:07.704 --> 00:46:08.525
Do you know how I got the
00:46:08.565 --> 00:46:10.445
job working for K-Rock
00:46:10.465 --> 00:46:11.326
where Howard Stern was?
00:46:12.306 --> 00:46:14.086
I just kept sending demo tapes online.
00:46:15.666 --> 00:46:16.706
I went to a tiny little
00:46:16.786 --> 00:46:17.507
college in the middle of
00:46:17.547 --> 00:46:18.487
nowhere that no one ever heard of.
00:46:19.188 --> 00:46:20.110
I had no connections,
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:21.690
just kept sending demo tapes.
00:46:21.851 --> 00:46:22.672
I would love to know how
00:46:22.731 --> 00:46:24.293
this happened because however,
00:46:24.353 --> 00:46:25.614
what's the PT's name?
00:46:26.916 --> 00:46:27.715
Alex.
00:46:28.496 --> 00:46:31.059
I'm going to guess this was an accident,
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:32.701
serendipity or persistence.
00:46:34.101 --> 00:46:35.463
Like I understand that like
00:46:35.503 --> 00:46:38.385
when your uncle is the CBS vice president,
00:46:39.126 --> 00:46:40.027
you can get an internship
00:46:40.047 --> 00:46:40.847
working for Howard Stern.
00:46:41.487 --> 00:46:42.009
That happened.
00:46:42.994 --> 00:46:43.715
But when I looked around
00:46:43.755 --> 00:46:44.936
that room of the 13 interns,
00:46:44.976 --> 00:46:45.775
I realized like, oh,
00:46:45.876 --> 00:46:46.916
eight of us like hustled
00:46:46.936 --> 00:46:48.356
this thing in because we wanted it.
00:46:48.496 --> 00:46:51.018
Like I understood, I knew the target.
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:51.639
I didn't really understand
00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:52.119
how to get there.
00:46:52.498 --> 00:46:53.260
I just kept doing it.
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:54.199
I don't want to say I faked
00:46:54.219 --> 00:46:54.760
it till I made it.
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:56.221
I just kept banging on the door.
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.201
And I would love to know how
00:46:57.240 --> 00:46:58.521
Alex did this.
00:46:59.021 --> 00:47:01.503
My guess is he earned it.
00:47:02.724 --> 00:47:04.003
And I just want to know, you know,
00:47:04.244 --> 00:47:05.224
I just want other people to
00:47:05.284 --> 00:47:07.085
understand that it's there for you.
00:47:07.226 --> 00:47:08.806
I'm not selling, there's no course here,
00:47:08.885 --> 00:47:09.065
guys.
00:47:09.085 --> 00:47:10.027
I'm not selling the secret,
00:47:10.106 --> 00:47:10.766
but just do it.
00:47:12.367 --> 00:47:12.407
Uh,
00:47:13.047 --> 00:47:14.788
Jimmy, I don't know, Tony, maybe not.
00:47:15.027 --> 00:47:16.349
Have you heard of J Balvin?
00:47:17.048 --> 00:47:18.550
Jimmy, have you heard of J Balvin?
00:47:18.570 --> 00:47:18.650
No.
00:47:18.670 --> 00:47:19.971
All right.
00:47:20.010 --> 00:47:22.932
Well, he is a, where is he from?
00:47:23.713 --> 00:47:24.634
Columbia, I think.
00:47:25.634 --> 00:47:30.416
He is a huge Spanish speaking artist.
00:47:30.476 --> 00:47:32.018
Like one of the biggest,
00:47:32.077 --> 00:47:33.039
one of the biggest in the world.
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:33.958
Like other than what's the
00:47:33.978 --> 00:47:36.780
other guy from Puerto Rico?
00:47:37.541 --> 00:47:38.041
No, no, no.
00:47:38.081 --> 00:47:38.581
The newer guy.
00:47:40.588 --> 00:47:42.210
So you know how old I am.
00:47:42.230 --> 00:47:43.409
I just yelled out Ricky Martin.
00:47:43.871 --> 00:47:44.130
Okay.
00:47:44.190 --> 00:47:46.751
So this artist, Jay Balvin.
00:47:47.271 --> 00:47:47.492
Yeah.
00:47:47.871 --> 00:47:48.132
Oh, yeah.
00:47:48.152 --> 00:47:48.693
He looks familiar.
00:47:49.072 --> 00:47:50.032
Yeah.
00:47:50.052 --> 00:47:51.554
50 million followers on Instagram.
00:47:52.054 --> 00:47:52.394
50 million.
00:47:52.414 --> 00:47:53.315
Okay.
00:47:53.394 --> 00:47:55.376
So Kat Kano is a physical therapist.
00:47:55.416 --> 00:47:57.597
She lives like real close to Manhattan,
00:47:57.617 --> 00:47:58.536
but on the Jersey side.
00:47:58.617 --> 00:48:01.018
And she is his private physical therapist.
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:03.119
She's recorded videos like
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:04.880
on his private jet and like
00:48:05.019 --> 00:48:06.320
on tour and before and
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:08.041
after concerts and events or whatever.
00:48:09.514 --> 00:48:09.835
I love it.
00:48:09.894 --> 00:48:12.335
I think the more that this is possible and,
00:48:12.596 --> 00:48:12.835
you know,
00:48:12.956 --> 00:48:14.135
some artists have their own
00:48:14.155 --> 00:48:15.117
chiropractor or their own
00:48:15.157 --> 00:48:16.597
personal physical therapist or whatever,
00:48:16.617 --> 00:48:18.858
the more that this gets out there,
00:48:18.978 --> 00:48:19.657
like this is just,
00:48:19.938 --> 00:48:21.697
this is just free like branding from.
00:48:21.717 --> 00:48:23.298
Yeah, I don't want it.
00:48:23.978 --> 00:48:25.498
I agree with that.
00:48:25.539 --> 00:48:26.800
I don't want the focus to be like,
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:28.000
this is how you make it.
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:30.139
Alex understood he's in the
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:31.141
relationship business.
00:48:31.780 --> 00:48:32.860
So he probably did a lot
00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:33.860
more listening to Missy
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:35.461
Elliott than talking about himself.
00:48:36.467 --> 00:48:37.849
And then he understood, I don't know,
00:48:37.949 --> 00:48:38.969
is Missy Elliott somebody I
00:48:39.030 --> 00:48:40.911
can and want to help on a regular basis?
00:48:41.512 --> 00:48:42.833
And then he figured out how to do that.
00:48:43.574 --> 00:48:44.556
And now he's standing on the
00:48:44.615 --> 00:48:46.918
sign doing way better dance
00:48:46.958 --> 00:48:47.637
moves than I could.
00:48:47.657 --> 00:48:48.438
You can mock this guy's
00:48:48.458 --> 00:48:49.400
dancing all you want.
00:48:50.041 --> 00:48:51.981
I'm even more 10 times awkward.
00:48:52.422 --> 00:48:53.664
But this is full circle.
00:48:53.784 --> 00:48:54.905
Understand what business you're in.
00:48:55.284 --> 00:48:56.507
Alex is in the you living
00:48:56.527 --> 00:48:57.547
your best life business.
00:48:58.108 --> 00:48:59.248
And while he's helping Missy
00:48:59.329 --> 00:49:00.170
Elliott live her best life
00:49:00.210 --> 00:49:00.831
and her dancers,
00:49:01.331 --> 00:49:02.271
he's living his best life.
00:49:03.614 --> 00:49:03.875
Jimmy,
00:49:03.914 --> 00:49:05.356
you think you dated yourself with
00:49:05.416 --> 00:49:06.998
Ricky Martin when Dave was
00:49:07.059 --> 00:49:09.201
talking about Spanish-speaking singers?
00:49:09.481 --> 00:49:11.503
I thought of Julio Iglesias.
00:49:12.184 --> 00:49:13.806
The first thing I said was Iglesias,
00:49:13.826 --> 00:49:14.666
but I meant his son.
00:49:14.686 --> 00:49:16.088
What was his son's name?
00:49:16.108 --> 00:49:17.630
I don't know.
00:49:17.670 --> 00:49:18.451
The other Iglesias.
00:49:19.474 --> 00:49:22.097
Ricky, not Ricky, not Ricky Martin.
00:49:22.416 --> 00:49:23.898
Then there was another Iglesias.
00:49:24.619 --> 00:49:25.521
This might be a good time to
00:49:25.581 --> 00:49:30.005
end the show for stuff.
00:49:30.085 --> 00:49:30.867
Before we end,
00:49:30.907 --> 00:49:32.068
we've got a couple of minutes here.
00:49:32.088 --> 00:49:34.451
Uh, last night I was reminded,
00:49:34.751 --> 00:49:36.273
and this is real tactical.
00:49:36.333 --> 00:49:37.693
So anybody watching and you
00:49:37.713 --> 00:49:38.976
guys can chime in.
00:49:38.996 --> 00:49:40.117
You've heard me say this before.
00:49:40.137 --> 00:49:40.177
Uh,
00:49:41.539 --> 00:49:42.719
I fell off the wagon.
00:49:42.739 --> 00:49:43.000
You know,
00:49:43.019 --> 00:49:45.422
I was doing blog posts constantly.
00:49:45.442 --> 00:49:47.063
I had done, I want to say,
00:49:47.063 --> 00:49:49.686
500 blog posts last calendar year.
00:49:49.706 --> 00:49:52.289
ChatGPT made it possible.
00:49:54.143 --> 00:49:55.704
from a tactical perspective.
00:49:56.304 --> 00:49:58.664
So you listening now,
00:49:58.746 --> 00:50:00.365
you can't just use ChatGPT
00:50:00.405 --> 00:50:01.146
to write content.
00:50:01.186 --> 00:50:02.367
It's never gonna be good enough.
00:50:02.427 --> 00:50:03.626
And we know that Google and
00:50:03.806 --> 00:50:05.367
SEO wants it to be unique,
00:50:05.387 --> 00:50:06.788
wants different perspectives.
00:50:08.048 --> 00:50:09.108
So somebody was asking me
00:50:09.148 --> 00:50:10.108
yesterday about how I
00:50:10.148 --> 00:50:11.289
created this content.
00:50:11.309 --> 00:50:12.050
And I was like, oh,
00:50:12.210 --> 00:50:13.289
let me share it with everybody.
00:50:13.769 --> 00:50:15.050
Here's the simple formula.
00:50:15.931 --> 00:50:18.293
i go in with an idea to chat
00:50:18.313 --> 00:50:20.634
gpt I say hey I want to
00:50:20.653 --> 00:50:21.994
write a series of articles
00:50:22.235 --> 00:50:23.755
on this topic right now I'm
00:50:23.795 --> 00:50:24.775
talking about two things
00:50:24.996 --> 00:50:27.257
rtm and dry needling and so
00:50:27.277 --> 00:50:28.478
I said hey this is this is
00:50:28.518 --> 00:50:30.019
the topic let's create an
00:50:30.139 --> 00:50:32.061
outline together five part outline
00:50:32.300 --> 00:50:33.882
Because that's typically a
00:50:33.882 --> 00:50:35.603
1,500 word article.
00:50:36.063 --> 00:50:37.706
So I say, give me a five part outline.
00:50:37.965 --> 00:50:39.246
ChatGPT generates it.
00:50:39.266 --> 00:50:41.849
I say, I want these topics included.
00:50:41.869 --> 00:50:44.451
It regenerates a better outline.
00:50:44.472 --> 00:50:45.452
And then I said,
00:50:45.632 --> 00:50:47.514
I want you to be a ghostwriter.
00:50:47.534 --> 00:50:49.976
I want you to interview me.
00:50:50.175 --> 00:50:51.396
I want you to ask me a
00:50:51.458 --> 00:50:52.659
specific question to each
00:50:52.699 --> 00:50:53.739
section in the article.
00:50:53.780 --> 00:50:55.501
And I want you to use my
00:50:55.561 --> 00:50:57.362
tone of voice and content
00:50:57.443 --> 00:50:59.605
that I share in my response
00:51:00.304 --> 00:51:01.166
in the article,
00:51:01.226 --> 00:51:03.288
but then add your own
00:51:03.588 --> 00:51:04.809
information to it to make
00:51:04.869 --> 00:51:06.170
it more comprehensive.
00:51:07.070 --> 00:51:08.231
I want each section to be at
00:51:08.271 --> 00:51:10.673
least 150 to 300 words,
00:51:10.733 --> 00:51:12.295
and I give it a couple other prompts.
00:51:12.856 --> 00:51:15.498
And then the beauty is I do
00:51:15.557 --> 00:51:17.719
that on the desktop first,
00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:20.543
and then I switch to my app on my phone.
00:51:20.583 --> 00:51:21.563
Because on my phone,
00:51:22.103 --> 00:51:23.025
I'll hit the little voice
00:51:23.065 --> 00:51:23.965
recorder if you don't have
00:51:24.005 --> 00:51:25.806
a nice mic connected to your desktop.
00:51:26.507 --> 00:51:27.889
ChatGPT will ask me one
00:51:27.949 --> 00:51:29.469
question at a time per section.
00:51:30.130 --> 00:51:31.431
I'll just record my answer
00:51:31.931 --> 00:51:33.291
and I'll just talk into my phone.
00:51:33.331 --> 00:51:35.032
And just like Jimmy was
00:51:35.132 --> 00:51:36.572
asking me or Dave was asking me,
00:51:37.293 --> 00:51:38.853
it'll transcribe my response.
00:51:39.094 --> 00:51:41.635
It'll put that into its chat.
00:51:42.596 --> 00:51:44.157
Once we finish the five sections,
00:51:44.217 --> 00:51:45.478
then I'll have it generate
00:51:45.878 --> 00:51:47.518
the final article one
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:49.019
section at a time because
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:51.260
it still can't handle a full article yet.
00:51:52.081 --> 00:51:54.742
And then I tell it to write
00:51:54.802 --> 00:51:57.806
me each response using HTML formatting.
00:51:57.985 --> 00:51:59.367
I want H2 tags.
00:51:59.527 --> 00:52:00.568
I want bullet points.
00:52:00.708 --> 00:52:01.889
I want underlines.
00:52:02.009 --> 00:52:03.469
And so I give it the
00:52:03.530 --> 00:52:04.851
formatting prompts because
00:52:04.871 --> 00:52:05.851
I want something that's
00:52:05.911 --> 00:52:08.813
very interesting to look at and read.
00:52:08.833 --> 00:52:11.175
And literally last night,
00:52:11.175 --> 00:52:13.277
15 minutes from start to finish,
00:52:13.336 --> 00:52:14.597
I had a finished article
00:52:14.657 --> 00:52:16.239
with my unique perspectives.
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:18.181
I think it was I did one for dry needling,
00:52:18.260 --> 00:52:18.880
one for RTM.
00:52:19.842 --> 00:52:21.682
Uh, it was awesome, you know, and,
00:52:21.802 --> 00:52:23.182
and this,
00:52:23.302 --> 00:52:25.384
anybody could do this on any topic.
00:52:26.063 --> 00:52:27.083
What you could also do now,
00:52:27.123 --> 00:52:27.643
I'm sure you've,
00:52:27.804 --> 00:52:28.764
you've done this probably,
00:52:28.784 --> 00:52:29.565
but other people is like
00:52:29.824 --> 00:52:31.864
now take that article and
00:52:31.925 --> 00:52:33.246
get someone to ask you five
00:52:33.306 --> 00:52:34.686
questions and turn it into a video.
00:52:35.106 --> 00:52:35.646
That's a five,
00:52:35.646 --> 00:52:36.927
10 minute video and take that five,
00:52:36.927 --> 00:52:37.947
10 minute video and make it
00:52:38.347 --> 00:52:39.847
five to 10 minute, 30 second clips.
00:52:40.108 --> 00:52:42.608
Like understand that this
00:52:42.668 --> 00:52:44.108
ain't tell business, right?
00:52:44.295 --> 00:52:45.356
This is show business.
00:52:45.396 --> 00:52:46.358
You don't tell people.
00:52:47.021 --> 00:52:48.083
You need to show people, right?
00:52:48.103 --> 00:52:48.724
We always tell people,
00:52:48.804 --> 00:52:49.666
show the coach how much
00:52:49.726 --> 00:52:50.869
work you're going to do, right?
00:52:50.909 --> 00:52:52.132
Don't just tell them I'm a hard worker.
00:52:52.271 --> 00:52:52.693
Show them.
00:52:53.054 --> 00:52:54.175
Show beats tell.
00:52:56.074 --> 00:52:56.855
Tony, I would love,
00:52:56.875 --> 00:52:57.675
I don't know if you've done it,
00:52:57.715 --> 00:53:00.157
but screen sharing that type of a video,
00:53:00.217 --> 00:53:02.079
like a 15 minute video for YouTube,
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:03.820
like the screen share of
00:53:03.940 --> 00:53:05.222
building that whole,
00:53:05.262 --> 00:53:05.842
like going through the
00:53:05.862 --> 00:53:06.802
prompts and building that
00:53:06.862 --> 00:53:07.744
whole article through
00:53:07.764 --> 00:53:09.264
ChatGPT from start to finish,
00:53:09.284 --> 00:53:11.407
I think would get a lot of views for you.
00:53:11.786 --> 00:53:12.568
Now here's the math.
00:53:13.108 --> 00:53:14.228
Here's the decision point.
00:53:14.690 --> 00:53:15.811
Of the people listening,
00:53:16.090 --> 00:53:17.231
I'm talking to you.
00:53:18.733 --> 00:53:21.856
You're thinking, maybe this is too hard.
00:53:21.936 --> 00:53:22.775
No, maybe I can do it.
00:53:22.815 --> 00:53:23.996
Tony's going to walk me right through it.
00:53:25.023 --> 00:53:26.143
Everybody's gonna be doing this.
00:53:26.603 --> 00:53:29.985
So I'm one of a million people doing this.
00:53:30.746 --> 00:53:33.728
You're not, you're not, you're not.
00:53:34.007 --> 00:53:36.070
It quite literally like luck
00:53:36.150 --> 00:53:37.371
favors the bolt.
00:53:37.431 --> 00:53:38.971
Luck favors the people that show up.
00:53:39.731 --> 00:53:41.233
I'm telling you it's not too
00:53:41.273 --> 00:53:43.193
late to begin doing what
00:53:43.233 --> 00:53:44.235
Tony just described.
00:53:44.755 --> 00:53:46.096
It seems like the world is crowded.
00:53:46.115 --> 00:53:47.817
It seems like YouTube's saturated.
00:53:47.856 --> 00:53:48.797
It seems like starting a
00:53:48.817 --> 00:53:50.018
podcast is a crazy idea.
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:51.159
I'm telling you,
00:53:51.179 --> 00:53:52.139
you don't understand how
00:53:52.619 --> 00:53:53.820
two things on both ends of
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:54.280
the bell curve.
00:53:55.335 --> 00:53:56.998
how large the world actually
00:53:57.117 --> 00:54:01.563
is and how lazy most people actually are.
00:54:01.903 --> 00:54:02.684
And I'm telling you,
00:54:03.246 --> 00:54:04.106
the juice is worth a
00:54:04.146 --> 00:54:05.989
squeeze on creating things
00:54:06.050 --> 00:54:07.351
because we are not in healthcare.
00:54:07.552 --> 00:54:08.472
It's not a tell business.
00:54:08.572 --> 00:54:09.213
It's a show business.
00:54:10.420 --> 00:54:10.641
All right.
00:54:10.721 --> 00:54:12.081
I'm going to be the nice guy in this.
00:54:12.121 --> 00:54:13.443
I want to say they're not lazy.
00:54:13.983 --> 00:54:14.744
I want to say they're
00:54:14.824 --> 00:54:17.726
insecure and they're busy working.
00:54:17.766 --> 00:54:19.367
We're stuck on that hamster wheel.
00:54:19.467 --> 00:54:21.768
I talked to so many therapists, PTs, OTs,
00:54:21.947 --> 00:54:22.469
SLPs,
00:54:23.248 --> 00:54:25.449
every minute of every day is being
00:54:25.550 --> 00:54:27.771
squeezed so tight to make a living.
00:54:28.251 --> 00:54:30.373
that they don't have the creative time.
00:54:30.492 --> 00:54:31.793
The three of us can sit here
00:54:31.833 --> 00:54:32.974
for an hour and just talk
00:54:33.014 --> 00:54:35.375
about stuff because we kind
00:54:35.434 --> 00:54:37.054
of stepped out of the matrix.
00:54:37.574 --> 00:54:38.976
We stepped out of that world.
00:54:39.056 --> 00:54:40.436
We were able to do this.
00:54:40.556 --> 00:54:41.956
Not everybody necessarily
00:54:42.016 --> 00:54:44.197
has that ability right this minute.
00:54:44.978 --> 00:54:45.958
uh one other thing that I
00:54:45.998 --> 00:54:46.858
want to throw out there I
00:54:46.878 --> 00:54:47.599
don't know if anyone's
00:54:47.699 --> 00:54:48.659
using it I don't think any
00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:49.860
of the three of us are but
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:51.201
I'm gonna trial it it's a
00:54:51.240 --> 00:54:52.981
company called hey gen
00:54:53.722 --> 00:54:58.684
h-e-y-g-e-n it's a video ai
00:54:58.804 --> 00:55:01.344
tool basically it'll create
00:55:01.525 --> 00:55:03.626
avatars for you or it will
00:55:03.686 --> 00:55:06.186
record you and turn you
00:55:06.286 --> 00:55:07.367
into a video avatar
00:55:08.327 --> 00:55:10.710
so that like Jimmy was kind of saying,
00:55:10.929 --> 00:55:12.291
I could take that article now,
00:55:12.771 --> 00:55:15.032
tell GPT to distill it down
00:55:15.231 --> 00:55:18.014
into a two or three minute video script.
00:55:18.074 --> 00:55:19.295
I can put that video script
00:55:19.414 --> 00:55:21.135
into a program like HeyGen,
00:55:21.615 --> 00:55:23.597
and then it will use video of me
00:55:24.438 --> 00:55:26.938
Creating a video that can go on YouTube.
00:55:26.978 --> 00:55:30.800
Now, I just saw an ad on my Facebook feed.
00:55:31.481 --> 00:55:34.342
Obviously, AI generated video of a girl,
00:55:34.442 --> 00:55:35.101
right?
00:55:35.443 --> 00:55:37.023
There is no doubt the lips
00:55:37.063 --> 00:55:38.483
and everything was kind of wonky.
00:55:39.003 --> 00:55:40.864
But I go back to we need to
00:55:40.905 --> 00:55:42.005
start understanding how
00:55:42.045 --> 00:55:43.385
these tools work now,
00:55:43.485 --> 00:55:44.286
even though they're not
00:55:44.606 --> 00:55:45.766
ready for primetime.
00:55:46.286 --> 00:55:47.228
because they will be.
00:55:47.788 --> 00:55:48.949
They're going to come.
00:55:49.309 --> 00:55:50.570
They're going to get better
00:55:50.789 --> 00:55:52.311
exponentially faster.
00:55:52.751 --> 00:55:54.793
So if we can start playing with this,
00:55:55.793 --> 00:55:57.054
if I don't have the time to
00:55:57.094 --> 00:55:57.994
create a original video,
00:55:58.034 --> 00:55:59.056
which for me is just faster
00:55:59.076 --> 00:55:59.916
to turn on the camera,
00:56:00.577 --> 00:56:01.597
I can upload a script.
00:56:02.038 --> 00:56:04.619
I can let the AI do it for me,
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:05.860
and then I can put it out
00:56:05.940 --> 00:56:06.721
to the community.
00:56:06.780 --> 00:56:08.822
And it's my actual words.
00:56:09.161 --> 00:56:10.382
It's my content.
00:56:10.402 --> 00:56:11.664
It's my information.
00:56:12.103 --> 00:56:13.945
I'm just letting the video
00:56:14.545 --> 00:56:15.827
generator create the video.
00:56:16.487 --> 00:56:19.329
it's wild this stuff uh it's
00:56:19.469 --> 00:56:20.710
uh it's simple not easy
00:56:21.012 --> 00:56:21.692
like I'm just telling you
00:56:21.711 --> 00:56:22.914
like if you were asking me
00:56:22.974 --> 00:56:23.693
is the juice worth the
00:56:23.733 --> 00:56:24.735
squeeze on paying attention
00:56:24.775 --> 00:56:27.097
learning these skills my
00:56:27.157 --> 00:56:29.440
answer would be yes all
00:56:29.460 --> 00:56:30.581
right parting shots guys
00:56:30.601 --> 00:56:31.822
what do you got dave what do you got
00:56:33.148 --> 00:56:36.333
I'm going to use Scott's comment here.
00:56:36.813 --> 00:56:37.653
He commented live.
00:56:38.054 --> 00:56:39.755
Scott, at Health Mention,
00:56:40.637 --> 00:56:41.577
everyone wants to grow,
00:56:41.778 --> 00:56:43.820
but nobody wants to change.
00:56:44.302 --> 00:56:46.244
I think that is just perfect for today,
00:56:46.324 --> 00:56:47.644
or at least from my perspective.
00:56:48.085 --> 00:56:49.027
Everybody wants biceps.
00:56:49.067 --> 00:56:49.827
Nobody does curls.
00:56:50.188 --> 00:56:50.849
Tony, what do you got?
00:56:52.061 --> 00:56:54.023
I'm going to double down on Scott.
00:56:55.103 --> 00:56:57.244
He's doing a great job with his LinkedIn.
00:56:57.346 --> 00:56:58.346
He's putting a lot of great
00:56:58.385 --> 00:56:59.246
content out there.
00:56:59.327 --> 00:57:00.007
He talked about the
00:57:00.047 --> 00:57:01.047
difference between being a
00:57:01.108 --> 00:57:02.449
manager and being a leader.
00:57:03.329 --> 00:57:04.570
The leader inspires.
00:57:04.650 --> 00:57:06.190
People are drawn to leaders.
00:57:06.291 --> 00:57:07.632
The manager is really just
00:57:07.652 --> 00:57:08.753
kind of the enforcer.
00:57:10.193 --> 00:57:11.355
I always hope to stay out of
00:57:11.375 --> 00:57:12.195
the manager role.
00:57:12.735 --> 00:57:14.637
I love leadership and
00:57:14.737 --> 00:57:15.757
following great leaders.
00:57:17.327 --> 00:57:18.507
I'm going to end on a note
00:57:18.588 --> 00:57:21.010
that seems a little sad, but it's not.
00:57:21.251 --> 00:57:22.291
So I went to a tiny little
00:57:22.311 --> 00:57:23.273
Catholic university at
00:57:23.293 --> 00:57:24.193
upstate New York called St.
00:57:24.213 --> 00:57:24.813
Bonaventure.
00:57:25.434 --> 00:57:27.436
And there was this larger
00:57:27.456 --> 00:57:29.398
than life character who who
00:57:29.478 --> 00:57:30.559
lived on campus,
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:32.260
was at the university for, I don't know,
00:57:32.260 --> 00:57:32.742
30 plus years.
00:57:32.782 --> 00:57:33.822
And he passed away this week.
00:57:34.382 --> 00:57:35.443
And it sounds like, oh, my gosh,
00:57:35.463 --> 00:57:37.166
we don't do obituaries here on the show,
00:57:37.186 --> 00:57:37.445
do we?
00:57:37.846 --> 00:57:38.786
His name was Father Dan.
00:57:39.668 --> 00:57:40.648
And he would live in the
00:57:40.708 --> 00:57:42.250
dorms like two or three
00:57:42.289 --> 00:57:43.769
nights a week with an open door.
00:57:43.789 --> 00:57:44.590
So when you're maybe coming
00:57:44.630 --> 00:57:46.692
back from the bar, there's his door.
00:57:46.711 --> 00:57:49.233
And he was sipping a drink himself.
00:57:49.293 --> 00:57:50.434
And he would have conversations.
00:57:50.474 --> 00:57:52.034
He knew where his audience was.
00:57:52.954 --> 00:57:53.635
And he knew when we were
00:57:53.675 --> 00:57:55.257
most susceptible to having
00:57:55.297 --> 00:57:55.916
a conversation.
00:57:55.956 --> 00:57:56.858
It wasn't at noon.
00:57:57.617 --> 00:57:59.878
It was at 2, 15 in the morning.
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.300
And he would have these – he would –
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:04.282
Perfect example of a great
00:58:04.342 --> 00:58:06.264
interviewer is you'd come in,
00:58:06.664 --> 00:58:08.186
and he would have an open-ended question,
00:58:08.286 --> 00:58:09.327
and then wherever he wanted to go,
00:58:09.447 --> 00:58:11.429
Father Dan, I don't know if God exists.
00:58:11.809 --> 00:58:13.110
He would take the con side.
00:58:13.411 --> 00:58:14.411
He'd let you play pro,
00:58:14.452 --> 00:58:15.413
but he understood that the
00:58:15.972 --> 00:58:17.315
goal was the conversation.
00:58:17.355 --> 00:58:18.155
So Father Dan,
00:58:18.476 --> 00:58:20.797
an institution where I went to school,
00:58:21.277 --> 00:58:21.958
hopefully they name a
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:23.280
building or several
00:58:23.300 --> 00:58:24.822
buildings after Father Dan, they will.
00:58:26.422 --> 00:58:27.143
But understand,
00:58:27.304 --> 00:58:28.445
Father Dan understood what
00:58:28.525 --> 00:58:29.284
game he was in.
00:58:29.425 --> 00:58:31.726
He was not in the finger wagging.
00:58:31.806 --> 00:58:33.288
You weren't at church yesterday.
00:58:33.347 --> 00:58:34.128
You got to get there.
00:58:34.429 --> 00:58:35.389
He met people quite
00:58:35.429 --> 00:58:36.289
literally where they were
00:58:36.309 --> 00:58:37.331
at two in the morning in
00:58:37.371 --> 00:58:39.452
the dorms and had those conversations.
00:58:40.233 --> 00:58:41.213
Be more like that.
00:58:41.534 --> 00:58:42.375
Not a religious thing,
00:58:42.695 --> 00:58:44.836
not a become a brother or a friar.
00:58:45.197 --> 00:58:46.958
But can you be that Father
00:58:46.998 --> 00:58:49.320
Dan type person in someone's life?
00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:50.920
I think we have a great opportunity.
00:58:50.981 --> 00:58:52.121
And to the people that do
00:58:52.161 --> 00:58:53.742
that now get to stand on
00:58:53.762 --> 00:58:55.023
the side stage and do
00:58:55.043 --> 00:58:56.005
whatever dance they want.
00:58:56.425 --> 00:58:58.708
at the Missy Misdemeanor Elliott concert.
00:58:59.449 --> 00:58:59.969
Do whatever you want.
00:59:00.369 --> 00:59:00.650
Gentlemen,
00:59:00.670 --> 00:59:01.711
we'll see you back on Thursday
00:59:01.731 --> 00:59:04.356
at PC Pinecast is where you can find me,
