Entitlement vs. Ownership: What PTs Need to Hear About Their Careers

Entitlement vs. Ownership: What PTs Need to Hear About Their Careers

In this episode, Jimmy McKay and Dave Kittle unpack why simply demanding a raise isn’t a long-term solution for PTs — and how creating value is the real power move.


They dig into why messaging matters more than ever (goodbye “movement assessments”), innovative business models in neuro rehab, and what real partnerships look like in modern healthcare careers.


Plus, they share hard-won lessons from radio sales, managing partnerships, and leadership inside clinics.

00:00:10.076 --> 00:00:11.497
Good Chicago morning to you.

00:00:12.198 --> 00:00:13.538
Live from some hotel in

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:14.638
Chicago because I don't

00:00:14.659 --> 00:00:15.820
need any of you yahoos

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.140
calling and waking me up

00:00:17.161 --> 00:00:20.161
with like a like a prank wake up call.

00:00:20.722 --> 00:00:21.722
I've had that before.

00:00:22.902 --> 00:00:24.544
It's super early here, Dave.

00:00:24.564 --> 00:00:26.004
I know we're live at eight thirty eastern,

00:00:26.045 --> 00:00:27.606
but seven thirty eastern or

00:00:27.905 --> 00:00:28.745
seven thirty central is

00:00:28.765 --> 00:00:29.547
where I am right now.

00:00:30.626 --> 00:00:31.007
How you doing?

00:00:31.047 --> 00:00:32.148
No Tony today, by the way.

00:00:32.787 --> 00:00:33.848
We appreciate you waking up

00:00:33.868 --> 00:00:35.030
an extra hour early.

00:00:35.450 --> 00:00:36.490
And yeah, no Tony today.

00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:37.771
No Tony today.

00:00:37.790 --> 00:00:38.151
Tony is out.

00:00:38.290 --> 00:00:39.512
Is he at the fishing hole or

00:00:39.531 --> 00:00:40.131
something like that?

00:00:40.192 --> 00:00:40.713
That's what he's doing?

00:00:41.133 --> 00:00:42.993
They're at an undisclosed

00:00:43.834 --> 00:00:45.655
family lake house, I think it is.

00:00:45.915 --> 00:00:47.015
Oh, good for him.

00:00:47.036 --> 00:00:47.456
That's good.

00:00:47.557 --> 00:00:47.996
All right.

00:00:48.036 --> 00:00:48.996
We have a problem with YouTube.

00:00:49.017 --> 00:00:49.838
I'm trying to get us live on

00:00:49.878 --> 00:00:50.518
YouTube right now.

00:00:50.557 --> 00:00:51.097
Hang on a second.

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.859
But I will talk about us and

00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.039
what we did last night.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.439
And by us, I mean me.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.200
I'm in Chicago.

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:01.720
I went to this event.

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:02.701
There's a photo from it.

00:01:02.941 --> 00:01:04.001
I am not a great photographer.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:05.561
I feel like if you're at a

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:06.921
cool event and you take a picture,

00:01:07.781 --> 00:01:08.462
it always looks like

00:01:08.481 --> 00:01:09.921
there's three people at the event.

00:01:09.962 --> 00:01:11.162
I'm just not a good photographer.

00:01:11.263 --> 00:01:12.522
But this event was full.

00:01:14.082 --> 00:01:16.024
It was the health to tech event.

00:01:16.203 --> 00:01:17.644
I flew all the way to Chicago for it.

00:01:18.504 --> 00:01:19.204
because I think it's a

00:01:19.545 --> 00:01:20.885
stunningly simple and

00:01:21.025 --> 00:01:22.746
brilliant idea and this guy

00:01:22.846 --> 00:01:24.429
alex came up with this idea

00:01:25.629 --> 00:01:27.051
and he's like a tech ceo

00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:28.191
he's got this like startup

00:01:28.251 --> 00:01:28.932
and he's worked in health

00:01:28.971 --> 00:01:29.852
tech for like thirteen

00:01:29.873 --> 00:01:31.433
years interview coming out

00:01:31.453 --> 00:01:32.575
with alex I interviewed him

00:01:32.594 --> 00:01:33.495
yesterday before the event

00:01:34.996 --> 00:01:35.596
and he's sitting there

00:01:35.617 --> 00:01:36.778
probably thinking like hey

00:01:36.837 --> 00:01:37.739
how do I get more people

00:01:37.778 --> 00:01:38.519
who might be like

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.042
influential to my organization's success

00:01:42.144 --> 00:01:43.186
But then he went one step further,

00:01:43.206 --> 00:01:44.870
which is like, well, to help my success,

00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:46.451
I actually should help other people.

00:01:46.753 --> 00:01:47.915
So he throws these impromptu

00:01:47.935 --> 00:01:48.596
like pub nights.

00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:52.667
where the formula is pretty easy.

00:01:52.787 --> 00:01:53.628
If there's a speaker,

00:01:54.087 --> 00:01:55.007
he's about to introduce the

00:01:55.048 --> 00:01:55.748
speaker last night.

00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:57.989
She spoke on using

00:01:58.049 --> 00:01:59.189
storytelling in your

00:01:59.209 --> 00:01:59.829
communications and

00:01:59.870 --> 00:02:02.090
marketing to a room full of tech people.

00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:03.432
And I remember like a lot of

00:02:03.451 --> 00:02:04.432
them were like, hmm.

00:02:04.472 --> 00:02:05.572
When I talked to her, I grabbed her,

00:02:05.753 --> 00:02:06.533
and I'll have her on the show too,

00:02:06.572 --> 00:02:07.174
because she's smart.

00:02:08.753 --> 00:02:08.955
I said,

00:02:08.995 --> 00:02:10.094
how is this usually received by

00:02:10.155 --> 00:02:10.594
tech people?

00:02:10.634 --> 00:02:11.635
And she's like, they love it,

00:02:11.675 --> 00:02:12.496
but they never do it.

00:02:12.575 --> 00:02:14.576
And I'm like, right, right, right.

00:02:14.597 --> 00:02:16.038
Everybody agrees it needs to be done,

00:02:16.057 --> 00:02:16.737
but then they're like, oh,

00:02:16.758 --> 00:02:17.217
we don't do it.

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:20.260
It was a great event.

00:02:21.241 --> 00:02:21.662
I loved it.

00:02:23.463 --> 00:02:24.724
The bumpability,

00:02:24.846 --> 00:02:26.046
which is what we talk about

00:02:27.027 --> 00:02:29.510
after the event, was fantastic.

00:02:29.670 --> 00:02:31.092
The bumpability for this was...

00:02:32.604 --> 00:02:34.145
The people in the room that

00:02:34.165 --> 00:02:36.407
you want to be bumping into on LinkedIn,

00:02:36.668 --> 00:02:37.687
except now you're giving

00:02:37.709 --> 00:02:39.189
them you're having eye contact.

00:02:39.569 --> 00:02:41.110
They're handing you their business cards.

00:02:41.131 --> 00:02:42.050
I got a pile of business

00:02:42.092 --> 00:02:43.612
cards like these are the

00:02:43.633 --> 00:02:44.793
these are the exact right

00:02:44.812 --> 00:02:46.093
people you want to be in the room with.

00:02:46.634 --> 00:02:47.754
And it's anti LinkedIn.

00:02:48.195 --> 00:02:48.436
Right.

00:02:49.216 --> 00:02:51.157
Alex goes into why in the interview,

00:02:51.237 --> 00:02:52.258
why it was why it's really

00:02:52.298 --> 00:02:53.579
successful and all the

00:02:53.598 --> 00:02:54.280
reasons that you and I

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:55.381
would probably point out.

00:02:56.121 --> 00:02:57.002
people were starved for in,

00:02:57.181 --> 00:02:58.804
in human contact, uh,

00:02:58.824 --> 00:03:00.324
in person contact during COVID.

00:03:00.764 --> 00:03:01.705
This thing comes back.

00:03:02.306 --> 00:03:03.367
He has them at like this

00:03:03.407 --> 00:03:04.368
place called the yard.

00:03:04.389 --> 00:03:05.969
Do you, are there places?

00:03:06.350 --> 00:03:07.331
They told me the staff there

00:03:07.352 --> 00:03:09.133
told me they have locations in New York.

00:03:09.372 --> 00:03:10.014
It's like a cool.

00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:10.455
We work.

00:03:10.835 --> 00:03:11.294
Have you seen this?

00:03:11.375 --> 00:03:12.637
Like a co-op?

00:03:12.776 --> 00:03:12.956
Yeah.

00:03:12.997 --> 00:03:14.018
A non, we were co-op.

00:03:14.677 --> 00:03:14.899
Yeah.

00:03:14.998 --> 00:03:15.538
They're new.

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:16.300
Um,

00:03:17.736 --> 00:03:18.817
staff was there it was very

00:03:18.856 --> 00:03:20.237
nice it's called the yard

00:03:20.617 --> 00:03:21.557
and I made several

00:03:21.578 --> 00:03:22.799
milkshake jokes and they

00:03:22.878 --> 00:03:23.938
did not understand them I

00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:24.719
think the staff is too

00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:26.300
young I think I have aged

00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:28.881
out of milkshake jokes and

00:03:28.901 --> 00:03:29.961
I'm like this is great you

00:03:29.980 --> 00:03:30.861
guys should have milkshakes

00:03:30.882 --> 00:03:32.542
and they're like oh yeah

00:03:32.581 --> 00:03:33.663
that we'll put that on a

00:03:33.682 --> 00:03:35.122
list yeah ice cream

00:03:35.163 --> 00:03:36.163
whatever because you want

00:03:36.183 --> 00:03:37.324
to bring more people to the

00:03:37.364 --> 00:03:38.623
yard and she was like yes

00:03:38.843 --> 00:03:39.965
yeah so you can pass our

00:03:39.985 --> 00:03:40.884
cards out and I was like

00:03:40.944 --> 00:03:42.225
never mind so I wanted to

00:03:42.265 --> 00:03:43.225
retell that joke here

00:03:43.265 --> 00:03:44.026
because at least I got a

00:03:44.045 --> 00:03:45.567
giggle out of dave anyway

00:03:47.096 --> 00:03:48.575
This brings up what this

00:03:48.616 --> 00:03:50.456
made me think of was I

00:03:50.516 --> 00:03:51.757
think the number was thirty two.

00:03:51.817 --> 00:03:52.598
Somebody wrote a book called

00:03:52.617 --> 00:03:54.078
The Thirty Two Immutable

00:03:54.117 --> 00:03:54.937
Laws of Marketing.

00:03:55.478 --> 00:03:56.378
And I've talked about them

00:03:56.419 --> 00:03:57.419
before without ever maybe

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:58.278
referencing a list,

00:03:58.299 --> 00:04:00.039
which is if your thing is big,

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.659
how can you make it small?

00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:03.379
If it's small, how can you make it big?

00:04:03.721 --> 00:04:04.640
If it's visible,

00:04:04.661 --> 00:04:05.640
how can you make it invisible?

00:04:05.881 --> 00:04:07.122
Just all the vice versa.

00:04:07.861 --> 00:04:08.822
I think health to tech

00:04:08.861 --> 00:04:10.983
events work because they

00:04:11.022 --> 00:04:12.562
are the opposite of LinkedIn.

00:04:12.582 --> 00:04:13.862
They are the in-person LinkedIn.

00:04:14.883 --> 00:04:15.424
Great event.

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:17.540
He's doing more of them.

00:04:17.581 --> 00:04:18.641
There's one coming to New York.

00:04:19.161 --> 00:04:20.463
I did not want to wait to

00:04:20.543 --> 00:04:21.564
scope my first one out.

00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:22.785
That's why I flew to Chicago,

00:04:22.805 --> 00:04:23.504
because I think this is a

00:04:23.785 --> 00:04:24.805
stunningly great idea.

00:04:25.146 --> 00:04:25.766
And here's what I want

00:04:25.807 --> 00:04:26.908
people to do who are in health tech.

00:04:27.187 --> 00:04:27.987
I don't want you to come.

00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:30.310
I want you to come because I

00:04:30.331 --> 00:04:31.271
want to take all the good

00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:33.173
vibes and all the meetings for myself.

00:04:33.435 --> 00:04:34.755
So don't come to these events.

00:04:35.055 --> 00:04:36.197
Don't go to health the

00:04:36.237 --> 00:04:38.480
number two tech dot com and

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:39.321
see where the events are.

00:04:39.581 --> 00:04:41.023
So he pretty much does Boston, New York,

00:04:41.043 --> 00:04:42.363
Philly, D.C., Chicago,

00:04:42.725 --> 00:04:43.625
and then he just rotates.

00:04:43.826 --> 00:04:44.947
He has different frequencies

00:04:44.987 --> 00:04:45.687
for different cities.

00:04:46.908 --> 00:04:48.129
New York, I think he does every month.

00:04:48.389 --> 00:04:49.290
So if you're in health tech,

00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:50.971
don't go to these events.

00:04:51.411 --> 00:04:52.310
They'll be horrible for your

00:04:52.331 --> 00:04:52.930
career because you'll have

00:04:52.951 --> 00:04:53.851
way too many people to talk to.

00:04:54.091 --> 00:04:55.112
So it was a good event.

00:04:55.172 --> 00:04:55.512
I loved it.

00:04:55.632 --> 00:04:57.992
Alex, again, kudos to you.

00:04:58.533 --> 00:04:59.454
Another backstory I'll say

00:04:59.473 --> 00:05:00.473
before we move to the next

00:05:00.514 --> 00:05:03.595
topic was he's a Ukrainian refugee.

00:05:03.634 --> 00:05:04.675
He left during the war.

00:05:04.815 --> 00:05:05.016
I mean,

00:05:05.435 --> 00:05:07.036
this guy was like – he could have

00:05:07.057 --> 00:05:08.697
just done –

00:05:08.197 --> 00:05:09.956
you know, just survived, but he didn't.

00:05:10.016 --> 00:05:10.757
He came to the U.S.

00:05:11.997 --> 00:05:12.557
on a visa.

00:05:13.117 --> 00:05:15.858
And I don't know, in my opinion,

00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:16.999
there's no way to measure

00:05:17.038 --> 00:05:17.959
how many connections he's

00:05:17.999 --> 00:05:19.259
fostered so far or how many

00:05:19.278 --> 00:05:20.060
he'll do in the end, right?

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.259
There's really no way to

00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:22.000
really measure this,

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:23.819
but this will be the

00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:24.920
meeting for several things

00:05:24.940 --> 00:05:25.961
that will happen and blow

00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:27.000
up in health tech in the future.

00:05:27.021 --> 00:05:27.600
It'd be awesome.

00:05:27.821 --> 00:05:28.562
So that's the event.

00:05:28.622 --> 00:05:29.362
Kudos to Alex.

00:05:29.622 --> 00:05:30.262
Episode out soon.

00:05:31.536 --> 00:05:31.636
See,

00:05:31.675 --> 00:05:35.278
and this is the beauty of in-person

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.521
anything compared to virtual anything.

00:05:38.521 --> 00:05:42.024
And this is why, for multiple reasons,

00:05:42.064 --> 00:05:43.266
like I always jab Tony

00:05:43.286 --> 00:05:44.146
because Tony comes up with

00:05:44.166 --> 00:05:46.447
these like virtual, you know, telehealth,

00:05:46.468 --> 00:05:46.709
you know,

00:05:46.728 --> 00:05:48.410
video visits and virtual

00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:49.630
programs and this and that.

00:05:50.091 --> 00:05:51.692
Hold on, Tony's not here, so I'll be Tony.

00:05:53.634 --> 00:05:54.915
How did you find out about this?

00:05:54.935 --> 00:05:55.675
I'm like, I'm LinkedIn.

00:05:55.855 --> 00:05:56.677
And he's like, right.

00:05:58.163 --> 00:05:58.723
Yeah.

00:05:58.762 --> 00:05:59.062
But,

00:05:59.423 --> 00:06:01.764
but now I used to go to these in the

00:06:01.803 --> 00:06:02.803
city here in, in,

00:06:03.204 --> 00:06:05.685
in New York through like diff,

00:06:05.725 --> 00:06:06.904
like meetup and these

00:06:06.925 --> 00:06:07.944
different other platforms.

00:06:07.964 --> 00:06:09.045
And it was very, it was similar.

00:06:09.105 --> 00:06:10.185
It was like when I had

00:06:10.245 --> 00:06:11.346
initial and it was like a

00:06:11.406 --> 00:06:12.687
couple of different people

00:06:12.706 --> 00:06:13.406
would talk about their

00:06:13.947 --> 00:06:15.107
software companies or

00:06:15.406 --> 00:06:16.588
they'd have a speaker or whatever,

00:06:16.608 --> 00:06:17.267
or they'd have it like an

00:06:17.307 --> 00:06:18.588
investor that's speaking.

00:06:19.548 --> 00:06:20.588
There was pitch nights.

00:06:20.608 --> 00:06:21.228
There were, you know,

00:06:21.869 --> 00:06:23.189
That's a cool idea.

00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:23.528
Pitch that.

00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:25.149
You could submit your startup,

00:06:25.189 --> 00:06:27.329
your business plan, your mock-ups,

00:06:27.370 --> 00:06:27.810
whatever.

00:06:29.850 --> 00:06:31.930
And there's a huge

00:06:31.971 --> 00:06:33.550
difference between that.

00:06:33.711 --> 00:06:36.052
I don't want to get too far into it,

00:06:36.091 --> 00:06:37.211
but I went to this one.

00:06:38.291 --> 00:06:38.992
This dude pitched.

00:06:39.012 --> 00:06:39.932
This was this was twenty

00:06:40.151 --> 00:06:40.971
fourteen or fifteen.

00:06:41.211 --> 00:06:42.132
This dude pitched like it

00:06:42.153 --> 00:06:43.752
was like the Instagram for

00:06:43.793 --> 00:06:45.293
health care images.

00:06:45.333 --> 00:06:46.673
So it was like imaging and

00:06:46.692 --> 00:06:47.334
things like that.

00:06:47.834 --> 00:06:48.793
It was called Insight Medi.

00:06:49.634 --> 00:06:50.233
Long story short,

00:06:50.254 --> 00:06:52.295
we met in twenty fourteen and and I,

00:06:52.315 --> 00:06:53.636
we have our honeymoon in

00:06:53.755 --> 00:06:55.516
Spain in twenty fifteen.

00:06:56.057 --> 00:06:57.017
I messaged him on Twitter,

00:06:57.098 --> 00:06:59.059
DM on Twitter like, hey, dude,

00:06:59.119 --> 00:07:00.779
like we met in New York and

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:01.800
you pitched like you didn't

00:07:01.841 --> 00:07:02.781
win or like whatever,

00:07:02.841 --> 00:07:04.201
like he he was hard on himself.

00:07:04.221 --> 00:07:05.382
I was like, dude, that was a great pitch.

00:07:06.062 --> 00:07:07.564
We met up in Spain a year

00:07:07.603 --> 00:07:09.365
later and like we've gone

00:07:09.384 --> 00:07:11.125
to Spain and Germany

00:07:11.225 --> 00:07:12.627
multiple times to see him

00:07:12.646 --> 00:07:14.067
and his family just from

00:07:14.146 --> 00:07:14.827
one of these events.

00:07:15.867 --> 00:07:17.548
Like, we – and he'll come to Brooklyn.

00:07:17.588 --> 00:07:18.490
He stayed – him and his

00:07:18.509 --> 00:07:19.449
family have stayed with us.

00:07:19.769 --> 00:07:20.391
We're good friends.

00:07:20.411 --> 00:07:21.011
We just spoke.

00:07:21.391 --> 00:07:22.492
They're moving somewhere

00:07:22.512 --> 00:07:24.132
else in Spain right now.

00:07:25.314 --> 00:07:26.495
He can't do that online.

00:07:27.314 --> 00:07:29.617
And that's just relationship building,

00:07:29.656 --> 00:07:31.057
like, you know, peer-to-peer,

00:07:31.096 --> 00:07:32.038
colleague-to-colleague.

00:07:32.838 --> 00:07:36.480
And this is – regardless of price,

00:07:36.781 --> 00:07:39.652
regardless of insurance –

00:07:38.809 --> 00:07:40.290
This is my opinion,

00:07:40.690 --> 00:07:43.194
why there is no ultimate

00:07:43.213 --> 00:07:45.817
value in doing some virtual

00:07:45.857 --> 00:07:46.598
thing where you're trying

00:07:46.617 --> 00:07:47.999
to help someone either out of pain,

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.581
out of an injury, get them back to sport,

00:07:50.622 --> 00:07:51.762
get them back to like,

00:07:52.064 --> 00:07:53.345
there's so many constraints

00:07:53.384 --> 00:07:54.065
to the virtual.

00:07:55.716 --> 00:07:56.478
And these are some of the

00:07:56.557 --> 00:07:59.240
anecdotal non-clinical stories, right?

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:01.922
Like that guy, Alex, has a tech company.

00:08:02.281 --> 00:08:03.322
You're in a tech company.

00:08:03.682 --> 00:08:05.124
You have tech offerings.

00:08:05.423 --> 00:08:07.285
But then you get a room full

00:08:07.345 --> 00:08:09.766
of technologists that are

00:08:09.987 --> 00:08:11.668
meeting in person because

00:08:11.689 --> 00:08:13.550
their whole world is virtual.

00:08:14.571 --> 00:08:15.170
And then they do this.

00:08:15.752 --> 00:08:16.872
That could have been a Zoom call.

00:08:16.911 --> 00:08:17.673
Why was it in person?

00:08:17.713 --> 00:08:18.153
You know what I mean?

00:08:18.192 --> 00:08:19.394
It's just fascinating.

00:08:21.769 --> 00:08:22.831
it's fascinating like the

00:08:23.011 --> 00:08:24.052
the commonalities and the

00:08:24.072 --> 00:08:25.694
differences of like virtual

00:08:25.874 --> 00:08:28.216
work or play and in-person

00:08:28.396 --> 00:08:30.978
work or play or recreation

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:32.240
you're gonna hate the next

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:34.761
thing I'm gonna say though

00:08:34.802 --> 00:08:36.023
so alex is all about he got

00:08:36.062 --> 00:08:37.543
first the alex is all about

00:08:37.563 --> 00:08:38.966
the in-person events he is

00:08:39.005 --> 00:08:40.027
the one fostering the

00:08:40.147 --> 00:08:41.368
anti-linkedin right the

00:08:41.427 --> 00:08:43.289
in-person linkedin alex is

00:08:43.370 --> 00:08:45.030
also a tech ceo I wasn't

00:08:45.051 --> 00:08:45.692
planning on doing this I

00:08:45.711 --> 00:08:46.432
was going to save it for

00:08:46.471 --> 00:08:47.813
his interview but I'll pop it out

00:08:48.668 --> 00:08:51.110
This is his product that he has created.

00:08:52.230 --> 00:08:56.474
So Yod, your online doctor diagnostics,

00:08:56.815 --> 00:08:58.336
he is creating a tool that

00:08:58.355 --> 00:08:59.056
you're looking at here if

00:08:59.076 --> 00:09:01.697
you're watching a live stream.

00:09:01.758 --> 00:09:03.078
It looks like one of the

00:09:03.119 --> 00:09:04.019
handheld thermometers,

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:05.480
like the forehead thermometers.

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:07.442
Yeah, and it's going to diagnose what?

00:09:08.533 --> 00:09:10.894
So what you do is his goal,

00:09:11.394 --> 00:09:12.894
his vision is everybody in

00:09:12.934 --> 00:09:13.995
America or everybody in the

00:09:14.035 --> 00:09:15.176
world has one of these

00:09:15.216 --> 00:09:16.277
things that has multiple

00:09:16.297 --> 00:09:18.618
attachments under their bathroom sink.

00:09:19.456 --> 00:09:20.758
And when you need to triage,

00:09:20.778 --> 00:09:22.119
do I go to the emergency room?

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.659
Is my kid that sick enough?

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.240
Or they just need to take,

00:09:25.441 --> 00:09:26.142
they can write a script.

00:09:26.562 --> 00:09:29.364
You telehealth call your doctor.

00:09:29.604 --> 00:09:30.625
Boom, there's a Zoom call.

00:09:31.284 --> 00:09:32.926
But now the doctor needs more information.

00:09:33.006 --> 00:09:34.528
They might need to know temperature.

00:09:34.687 --> 00:09:35.607
They might need to look in

00:09:35.628 --> 00:09:36.729
their ear or your throat.

00:09:37.089 --> 00:09:38.309
They might need an EKG.

00:09:39.610 --> 00:09:40.991
I don't know so he's got

00:09:41.032 --> 00:09:43.474
this multi-tooled thing

00:09:43.494 --> 00:09:45.054
that bluetooth's so now

00:09:45.075 --> 00:09:45.956
when you plug it in the

00:09:45.995 --> 00:09:47.557
doctor's like all right mom

00:09:47.756 --> 00:09:48.798
like put that in the kid's

00:09:48.878 --> 00:09:50.259
ear oh yeah that's inflamed

00:09:50.298 --> 00:09:51.219
like boop that's an ear

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.440
infection got it let's just

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:53.380
get instead of waiting for

00:09:53.421 --> 00:09:55.403
five hours in the er the

00:09:55.482 --> 00:09:56.943
multiple attachment tool so

00:09:56.984 --> 00:09:58.063
it's an extension

00:09:59.565 --> 00:10:02.066
of the provider used by mom

00:10:02.086 --> 00:10:04.046
or dad or somebody not to prevent,

00:10:04.066 --> 00:10:05.826
not to replace them and not

00:10:05.846 --> 00:10:07.086
to replace an ER visit.

00:10:07.687 --> 00:10:08.187
But gosh,

00:10:08.207 --> 00:10:09.687
if you could knock ER visits down

00:10:09.927 --> 00:10:11.148
by twenty percent at three

00:10:11.187 --> 00:10:11.948
o'clock in the morning.

00:10:12.509 --> 00:10:14.970
So this is example of like

00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:16.889
someone who embraces both.

00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:18.410
So I don't disagree with you,

00:10:18.551 --> 00:10:19.910
but in some cases it

00:10:19.951 --> 00:10:21.071
wouldn't be bad because

00:10:21.171 --> 00:10:24.211
I've done telehealth to triage my dad,

00:10:24.532 --> 00:10:25.673
not dragging my dad into a

00:10:25.712 --> 00:10:26.972
doctor's visit when I didn't need to.

00:10:28.846 --> 00:10:29.907
So that device,

00:10:31.248 --> 00:10:32.067
it makes sense to be an

00:10:32.107 --> 00:10:33.509
extension of a virtual visit,

00:10:33.589 --> 00:10:34.308
of a telehealth visit.

00:10:34.328 --> 00:10:35.788
Because when you do a telehealth visit,

00:10:35.828 --> 00:10:37.250
you don't have those components.

00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:38.570
You have nothing.

00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:40.490
To relay to a physician or a

00:10:40.671 --> 00:10:41.791
nurse practitioner or whoever,

00:10:42.530 --> 00:10:44.731
NP or a physician assistant or whatever.

00:10:44.751 --> 00:10:46.611
A stethoscope so they can hear the cough.

00:10:46.631 --> 00:10:48.173
That's just cool.

00:10:48.212 --> 00:10:50.514
So he's at, like, he built a website.

00:10:50.553 --> 00:10:51.354
It looks beautiful.

00:10:51.433 --> 00:10:52.153
It's designed well.

00:10:52.193 --> 00:10:55.174
But, like, I'm assuming he, like,

00:10:55.514 --> 00:10:56.294
has he raised money?

00:10:56.514 --> 00:10:57.816
Is this a new development?

00:10:58.897 --> 00:11:01.678
Um, I ha I would have to ask him again.

00:11:01.778 --> 00:11:02.019
Yeah.

00:11:02.178 --> 00:11:03.740
I mean, he held me, he handed me one.

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.399
Like he has a,

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.541
he has a working prototype

00:11:05.921 --> 00:11:06.782
at the event yesterday.

00:11:08.072 --> 00:11:09.952
So, and he has competition.

00:11:09.993 --> 00:11:11.374
He mentioned who the competition was.

00:11:11.394 --> 00:11:11.693
He's like,

00:11:12.134 --> 00:11:13.934
we're not the only people to do this.

00:11:13.955 --> 00:11:14.595
There's another one,

00:11:14.615 --> 00:11:16.255
but their price point is, you know,

00:11:16.316 --> 00:11:17.296
five or six times higher

00:11:17.316 --> 00:11:18.116
than we'd like it to be.

00:11:18.736 --> 00:11:20.577
Alex, in my head, I was thinking,

00:11:20.658 --> 00:11:21.557
what would I pay for this, right?

00:11:21.577 --> 00:11:22.418
I started thinking like, Dave,

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:23.259
what would I pay for?

00:11:23.339 --> 00:11:24.240
Are people gonna pay for this?

00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.441
He wants to make it,

00:11:26.581 --> 00:11:27.561
he wants to make it two digits,

00:11:27.681 --> 00:11:28.902
ninety-nine dollars or less.

00:11:29.442 --> 00:11:29.841
Because I'm like,

00:11:29.861 --> 00:11:30.722
that's the way you get it

00:11:30.822 --> 00:11:33.183
underneath everybody's kitchen sink.

00:11:34.183 --> 00:11:37.164
The amount of money to build

00:11:37.205 --> 00:11:38.725
this thing that's actually accurate,

00:11:38.804 --> 00:11:40.144
that can do all the vital

00:11:40.184 --> 00:11:42.765
signs is going to be astronomical.

00:11:42.846 --> 00:11:43.546
I wish him the best.

00:11:43.686 --> 00:11:45.666
I have a twelve month old son.

00:11:46.027 --> 00:11:46.826
I would pay one hundred

00:11:46.846 --> 00:11:47.907
dollars right now for it.

00:11:48.246 --> 00:11:48.807
I would pay one hundred.

00:11:49.086 --> 00:11:50.908
I would pay I would probably

00:11:50.927 --> 00:11:52.087
pay a couple multiple

00:11:52.128 --> 00:11:53.008
hundreds for it right now.

00:11:54.008 --> 00:11:54.707
But if it worked,

00:11:55.109 --> 00:11:56.109
the amount of money this

00:11:56.129 --> 00:11:57.589
thing will need to get in

00:11:57.688 --> 00:11:58.989
front of consumers across

00:11:59.028 --> 00:12:01.909
the country is going to be raising like

00:12:03.870 --> 00:12:04.991
tens of millions,

00:12:05.052 --> 00:12:07.874
if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:12:08.053 --> 00:12:09.455
I hope he can do it.

00:12:10.034 --> 00:12:12.057
Someone's going to do it.

00:12:12.976 --> 00:12:13.798
Or he gets bought.

00:12:14.467 --> 00:12:15.408
Right?

00:12:15.528 --> 00:12:16.730
Or someone's like, you're- I mean,

00:12:16.889 --> 00:12:18.791
Amazon bought one medical, right?

00:12:19.272 --> 00:12:21.994
So if they don't already have it,

00:12:22.134 --> 00:12:23.495
if they're not already working on it,

00:12:23.715 --> 00:12:25.255
then either it's not a big enough market,

00:12:25.515 --> 00:12:26.576
it's not enough where they

00:12:26.596 --> 00:12:27.918
can get the price down to

00:12:28.097 --> 00:12:29.099
sell to everyone who has

00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:30.179
Amazon Prime or whatever.

00:12:31.941 --> 00:12:32.721
I'm just being a realist.

00:12:32.761 --> 00:12:34.123
Like if he were to pitch me

00:12:34.202 --> 00:12:35.563
on investing in this, let's just say,

00:12:35.604 --> 00:12:37.245
like, I'm not saying he is, I don't know.

00:12:38.385 --> 00:12:41.268
I would not invest in this because this is,

00:12:41.467 --> 00:12:41.808
this is,

00:12:42.528 --> 00:12:43.610
going to take a ton of money

00:12:44.150 --> 00:12:45.052
to actually get done.

00:12:45.172 --> 00:12:46.734
And then they get it into

00:12:46.793 --> 00:12:48.316
some different consumer

00:12:48.375 --> 00:12:49.538
portals so that more people

00:12:49.577 --> 00:12:50.619
find out about it, know about it,

00:12:50.658 --> 00:12:50.918
whatever.

00:12:52.267 --> 00:12:52.927
And then it's one of these

00:12:52.947 --> 00:12:53.486
things where it's,

00:12:54.427 --> 00:12:55.327
you have to buy it when you

00:12:55.347 --> 00:12:55.888
don't need it.

00:12:56.307 --> 00:12:57.089
And then when you need it

00:12:57.149 --> 00:12:58.168
and you don't have it, it's like, wait,

00:12:58.428 --> 00:12:59.109
now it's going to take two

00:12:59.129 --> 00:13:00.049
days on Amazon prime or

00:13:00.070 --> 00:13:00.710
it's going to take seven

00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:01.490
days to order it from his

00:13:01.529 --> 00:13:02.169
website or whatever.

00:13:02.730 --> 00:13:03.291
So it's one of those,

00:13:03.730 --> 00:13:04.490
it's one of those things

00:13:04.530 --> 00:13:06.812
that is more like a, what's,

00:13:06.971 --> 00:13:07.991
what's the analogy?

00:13:08.032 --> 00:13:08.873
Like it's more like a

00:13:09.133 --> 00:13:10.572
vitamin instead of a painkiller.

00:13:10.852 --> 00:13:13.094
It's like, I, I don't have like, yeah,

00:13:13.274 --> 00:13:14.173
yeah, yeah.

00:13:14.214 --> 00:13:15.195
So like you'd have to order

00:13:15.215 --> 00:13:17.254
it ahead of time and when

00:13:17.274 --> 00:13:17.775
you don't need it.

00:13:18.135 --> 00:13:20.316
Uh, fascinating, really interesting.

00:13:21.076 --> 00:13:21.236
Um,

00:13:23.690 --> 00:13:25.370
I just don't think there's

00:13:25.389 --> 00:13:26.091
going to be a mass.

00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:27.750
Let's just say, I don't know,

00:13:27.870 --> 00:13:29.892
in twenty five years,

00:13:30.732 --> 00:13:31.373
I don't think there's going

00:13:31.393 --> 00:13:32.634
to be a huge change in the

00:13:32.653 --> 00:13:33.774
amount of in-person that we

00:13:33.833 --> 00:13:35.455
do versus telehealth and virtual.

00:13:35.534 --> 00:13:39.476
But anyway, that's my bias.

00:13:39.496 --> 00:13:39.897
Tony's here.

00:13:42.205 --> 00:13:44.166
Tony was on a lake right now.

00:13:44.726 --> 00:13:46.488
He's already out on the lake.

00:13:46.869 --> 00:13:47.129
Good.

00:13:47.149 --> 00:13:47.808
It's early.

00:13:47.849 --> 00:13:49.451
If you're on vacation, dude,

00:13:49.971 --> 00:13:50.991
you have a certain amount of hours.

00:13:51.011 --> 00:13:52.153
So he's in the back of a boat.

00:13:52.572 --> 00:13:53.494
He's wearing Crocs.

00:13:54.294 --> 00:13:55.254
So I'm about to make fun of

00:13:55.274 --> 00:13:56.196
him for that when he gets back.

00:13:56.216 --> 00:13:58.597
But hey, listen, you're on a boat, dude.

00:13:58.618 --> 00:13:59.399
You could be made fun of.

00:13:59.958 --> 00:14:01.200
What do you want to talk about next?

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:02.081
Do you want to talk about...

00:14:04.282 --> 00:14:06.302
the thing that I brought to the group chat,

00:14:06.643 --> 00:14:07.443
the thing in New York,

00:14:07.524 --> 00:14:08.024
or do you want to talk

00:14:08.043 --> 00:14:09.104
about the guy that you have

00:14:09.144 --> 00:14:10.424
the thing in the live show?

00:14:10.544 --> 00:14:12.666
I have both ready.

00:14:12.686 --> 00:14:13.306
Let me see.

00:14:13.346 --> 00:14:14.145
Let me, well,

00:14:14.166 --> 00:14:15.326
you started off with the Alex thing.

00:14:15.386 --> 00:14:16.326
Let me go with,

00:14:17.167 --> 00:14:18.587
how about the Greg Todd rant?

00:14:19.599 --> 00:14:21.961
that I sent in the chat.

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:22.961
Yeah, yeah.

00:14:22.981 --> 00:14:23.442
Okay,

00:14:23.461 --> 00:14:25.604
so Greg Todd on his story yesterday

00:14:25.683 --> 00:14:27.166
posted a, I guess,

00:14:27.405 --> 00:14:29.006
so this is a post from Physiogram.

00:14:29.908 --> 00:14:30.869
Salary discrepancy,

00:14:30.989 --> 00:14:32.190
experienced physical therapist here.

00:14:32.789 --> 00:14:33.510
Annual billing,

00:14:33.530 --> 00:14:34.552
three hundred forty K to

00:14:34.591 --> 00:14:37.674
three hundred sixty K. Annual pay,

00:14:37.774 --> 00:14:38.895
one hundred and five K. So

00:14:38.916 --> 00:14:40.216
they're billing three

00:14:40.236 --> 00:14:41.398
hundred forty to three

00:14:41.418 --> 00:14:43.019
hundred sixty thousand dollars per year.

00:14:44.307 --> 00:14:45.067
sounds like an in-network

00:14:45.128 --> 00:14:46.187
practice but could be out

00:14:46.227 --> 00:14:46.969
of network as well but

00:14:47.028 --> 00:14:47.668
probably in their work

00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:49.951
their annual pay salary

00:14:49.971 --> 00:14:50.910
compensation whatever is a

00:14:50.931 --> 00:14:51.572
hundred five thousand

00:14:51.591 --> 00:14:53.092
dollars they just receive a

00:14:53.153 --> 00:14:54.493
generous point five percent

00:14:54.572 --> 00:14:55.734
merit-based raise which

00:14:55.793 --> 00:14:56.934
honestly felt like someone

00:14:57.115 --> 00:14:58.015
and I'm just quoting this

00:14:58.355 --> 00:14:59.876
this post which honestly

00:14:59.917 --> 00:15:01.378
felt like someone tossed

00:15:01.398 --> 00:15:02.378
scraps off the corporate

00:15:02.398 --> 00:15:03.158
table and called it a

00:15:03.178 --> 00:15:04.158
reward I'm curious maybe

00:15:04.178 --> 00:15:05.019
the clinic owners regional

00:15:05.059 --> 00:15:06.841
managers vp ceos can help

00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:07.441
me understand the

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.961
sustainability model here

00:15:09.383 --> 00:15:10.663
how is capping a pt's

00:15:10.702 --> 00:15:11.583
financial growth while

00:15:11.624 --> 00:15:12.884
squeezing maximum billing

00:15:13.445 --> 00:15:15.505
from them, supposed to work long-term.

00:15:16.326 --> 00:15:20.109
PTs aren't neither blind nor dumb,

00:15:20.470 --> 00:15:22.010
and burnout isn't just a buzzword.

00:15:22.431 --> 00:15:24.052
Would love some insight from the top,

00:15:24.091 --> 00:15:25.452
preferably someone other than,

00:15:25.832 --> 00:15:27.094
thanks for all you do,

00:15:27.614 --> 00:15:28.715
and pizza for lunch.

00:15:28.815 --> 00:15:31.736
Because pizza, you know, yeah.

00:15:32.037 --> 00:15:32.496
So to be clear,

00:15:32.517 --> 00:15:33.898
this wasn't written by Greg Todd,

00:15:33.918 --> 00:15:35.278
but Greg Todd screenshotted

00:15:35.318 --> 00:15:36.659
it and then was commenting on it.

00:15:37.543 --> 00:15:37.842
Well, yeah,

00:15:37.863 --> 00:15:40.225
and his comment in text form was,

00:15:40.885 --> 00:15:41.927
nobody's going to tell this

00:15:42.227 --> 00:15:42.988
person the truth.

00:15:43.308 --> 00:15:44.690
They actually get paid too much,

00:15:45.009 --> 00:15:46.471
which I was like, whoa!

00:15:47.413 --> 00:15:49.394
And then the next story of

00:15:49.434 --> 00:15:51.576
his was him verbally saying

00:15:52.937 --> 00:15:55.000
that this PT that's making

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:55.620
one hundred and five

00:15:55.660 --> 00:15:56.701
thousand dollars per year

00:15:57.162 --> 00:15:57.842
somewhere in the U.S.,

00:15:59.035 --> 00:15:59.677
is entitled.

00:16:00.277 --> 00:16:00.758
Now,

00:16:01.979 --> 00:16:05.101
before I even say if I agree with this

00:16:05.142 --> 00:16:05.481
or not,

00:16:05.562 --> 00:16:07.703
or if you agree with Greg Todd or not,

00:16:08.544 --> 00:16:11.388
any thoughts or takeaways on the post?

00:16:12.589 --> 00:16:14.510
Got to love a nice anonymous post.

00:16:14.551 --> 00:16:15.211
Got to love it.

00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:17.254
Well, yeah, the anonymous posts.

00:16:17.333 --> 00:16:19.054
And I have flipped from being like,

00:16:19.075 --> 00:16:19.956
what's the problem?

00:16:19.975 --> 00:16:21.096
Unless you're a whistleblower.

00:16:21.928 --> 00:16:22.149
Right?

00:16:23.169 --> 00:16:23.750
Then it's fine.

00:16:23.791 --> 00:16:24.991
Or it's a legal matter or something.

00:16:25.032 --> 00:16:25.592
Other than that,

00:16:25.673 --> 00:16:29.376
I'm sort of... Now I'm anti... I got you.

00:16:29.476 --> 00:16:30.557
I got you on my side.

00:16:31.078 --> 00:16:33.542
So what is my... I mean,

00:16:33.601 --> 00:16:35.303
they're at least trying...

00:16:35.323 --> 00:16:36.325
Because in this post...

00:16:36.565 --> 00:16:37.206
That's the wrong one.

00:16:37.225 --> 00:16:38.706
They're trying to get...

00:16:39.607 --> 00:16:42.109
someone to like say like

00:16:42.168 --> 00:16:42.808
real information right

00:16:42.828 --> 00:16:43.529
they're saying like someone

00:16:43.549 --> 00:16:44.309
from a top I'm gonna hear

00:16:44.330 --> 00:16:45.429
someone from the top except

00:16:45.450 --> 00:16:46.029
this person's being

00:16:46.049 --> 00:16:46.931
anonymous they want someone

00:16:46.951 --> 00:16:47.750
else to like give them real

00:16:47.791 --> 00:16:48.610
info it's like well

00:16:49.032 --> 00:16:50.011
transparency worth both

00:16:50.052 --> 00:16:51.533
ways but right um what's

00:16:51.552 --> 00:16:53.133
the multiple what is the

00:16:53.312 --> 00:16:55.693
what as an owner three so

00:16:55.714 --> 00:16:56.234
if you want to make a

00:16:56.313 --> 00:16:57.195
hundred thousand dollars

00:16:57.215 --> 00:16:58.075
you have to bring in three

00:16:58.095 --> 00:16:58.995
hundred thousand dollars at

00:16:59.014 --> 00:17:00.176
least or or three and a

00:17:00.216 --> 00:17:01.895
half yeah well that's where

00:17:01.916 --> 00:17:02.557
they're at that's what

00:17:02.576 --> 00:17:03.496
that's what this person's

00:17:03.517 --> 00:17:05.897
doing exactly yeah exactly

00:17:05.917 --> 00:17:08.499
so so so here's a couple comments like

00:17:09.627 --> 00:17:11.790
Therapists, and I thought I knew as well,

00:17:11.871 --> 00:17:12.371
but I didn't.

00:17:12.571 --> 00:17:13.112
Therapists,

00:17:13.192 --> 00:17:14.252
or it doesn't even matter if

00:17:14.272 --> 00:17:15.494
you're in physical therapy or healthcare,

00:17:15.515 --> 00:17:17.116
you're in some other, I don't know,

00:17:17.136 --> 00:17:19.278
you're in HVAC, you're in, I don't know,

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:22.403
pool cleaning, yard maintenance,

00:17:22.563 --> 00:17:24.826
whatever you're in, whatever, sales,

00:17:24.885 --> 00:17:25.286
like whatever.

00:17:26.106 --> 00:17:27.929
it's at least three point

00:17:27.949 --> 00:17:30.050
five x difference of like

00:17:30.391 --> 00:17:31.912
what you bring in and then

00:17:31.991 --> 00:17:32.893
what you're actually paid

00:17:32.932 --> 00:17:34.354
whether it's a fixed salary

00:17:34.473 --> 00:17:36.096
or it's hourly annualized

00:17:36.175 --> 00:17:38.657
over the year or sal or a

00:17:38.698 --> 00:17:39.818
commission based or what or

00:17:39.878 --> 00:17:41.160
some hybrid of some combo

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:44.942
of those things so staff

00:17:44.962 --> 00:17:45.604
physical therapists

00:17:45.663 --> 00:17:46.444
including myself when I was

00:17:46.464 --> 00:17:47.726
a new grad or when I was

00:17:47.806 --> 00:17:48.665
you know working with ed

00:17:48.707 --> 00:17:50.268
meerschen motion pt and all

00:17:50.288 --> 00:17:51.209
that and then they kept

00:17:51.249 --> 00:17:52.169
growing after I left

00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:55.371
I thought I knew my overall

00:17:55.411 --> 00:17:57.172
value and the value

00:17:57.211 --> 00:17:59.451
exchange of what I'm

00:17:59.471 --> 00:18:00.352
bringing to the table and

00:18:00.392 --> 00:18:01.492
what I should be making and

00:18:02.972 --> 00:18:03.673
what I should be getting

00:18:03.712 --> 00:18:05.192
paid versus what I'm doing.

00:18:06.532 --> 00:18:08.153
And this therapist and most

00:18:08.193 --> 00:18:09.713
therapists don't understand

00:18:10.733 --> 00:18:13.095
how challenging it is and all the costs,

00:18:13.414 --> 00:18:15.555
all the risk to run a

00:18:15.634 --> 00:18:16.494
business and a practice,

00:18:16.615 --> 00:18:17.776
especially if you're in network.

00:18:18.336 --> 00:18:19.415
Greg Todd said,

00:18:20.296 --> 00:18:21.976
in that verbal the next

00:18:22.296 --> 00:18:24.176
slide he said you know when

00:18:24.217 --> 00:18:24.696
you're billing three

00:18:24.717 --> 00:18:25.656
hundred forty k to three

00:18:25.676 --> 00:18:26.757
hundred sixty k per year

00:18:27.017 --> 00:18:28.176
that practice might only be

00:18:28.217 --> 00:18:29.897
making sixty percent of

00:18:29.958 --> 00:18:33.057
that so I don't have a

00:18:33.077 --> 00:18:33.798
calculator in front of me

00:18:33.837 --> 00:18:34.999
but that's what's that two

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.858
hundred k or something

00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:39.239
sixty percent of what of of

00:18:39.278 --> 00:18:41.099
three hundred and sixty in

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.039
the in the window of three

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.240
three forty to three sixty

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:44.700
you take say three fifty

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.441
three hundred fifty

00:18:45.461 --> 00:18:47.560
thousand what's sixty percent of that

00:18:48.807 --> 00:18:50.914
Uh, two, two, ten, two hundred and ten.

00:18:50.954 --> 00:18:52.259
So they're making a hundred

00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:53.242
grand on you and you paying

00:18:53.262 --> 00:18:53.683
you a hundred.

00:18:54.662 --> 00:18:54.882
Right.

00:18:55.061 --> 00:18:59.266
So that's like... And any of the denials,

00:18:59.346 --> 00:19:00.807
any of the bad notes,

00:19:00.866 --> 00:19:01.647
if the therapist writes a

00:19:01.688 --> 00:19:02.769
bad note and they're not

00:19:02.828 --> 00:19:04.190
getting coached on writing

00:19:04.529 --> 00:19:05.912
better clinical documentation, whatever,

00:19:06.231 --> 00:19:08.173
the owners and the CEOs and the regional,

00:19:08.473 --> 00:19:09.954
whoever owns the practice,

00:19:09.974 --> 00:19:11.855
the stakeholders, me in my practice,

00:19:12.497 --> 00:19:13.178
I'm taking the risk.

00:19:13.278 --> 00:19:15.159
I'm paying you a guaranteed

00:19:15.239 --> 00:19:16.299
or an agreed upon rate.

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:17.922
But if you're not delivering

00:19:18.021 --> 00:19:19.583
the proper notes or if there's an issue,

00:19:19.643 --> 00:19:21.545
if there's something with...

00:19:22.542 --> 00:19:24.885
uh a patient wants to report

00:19:25.166 --> 00:19:26.969
us to the board or try to

00:19:27.009 --> 00:19:28.330
sue us or whatever like the

00:19:28.471 --> 00:19:29.452
owners take all the

00:19:29.492 --> 00:19:30.875
responsibility all the risk

00:19:31.576 --> 00:19:33.598
and the staff physical therapists take

00:19:34.647 --> 00:19:35.667
no risk at all because

00:19:35.688 --> 00:19:37.449
they're being paid a salary or hourly.

00:19:37.608 --> 00:19:38.308
Some of my therapists

00:19:38.348 --> 00:19:39.609
actually taking some risk

00:19:39.650 --> 00:19:41.650
in terms of being paid per visit,

00:19:41.891 --> 00:19:42.911
but then they might have

00:19:43.330 --> 00:19:44.751
dips in compensation when

00:19:45.071 --> 00:19:46.071
people are being discharged,

00:19:46.531 --> 00:19:47.352
our patients and clients

00:19:47.392 --> 00:19:49.813
are traveling and they're

00:19:49.833 --> 00:19:52.034
being paid per visit at a higher rate,

00:19:52.814 --> 00:19:54.414
but it's not a consistent paycheck,

00:19:54.454 --> 00:19:54.634
right?

00:19:54.654 --> 00:19:55.595
So physical therapists,

00:19:55.775 --> 00:19:57.056
and Tony knows this, Tony would agree,

00:19:57.875 --> 00:19:59.599
most likely that therapists

00:20:00.741 --> 00:20:02.325
are typically fear-based

00:20:02.505 --> 00:20:03.907
and they're risk averse and

00:20:03.928 --> 00:20:05.652
they want to have like a consistent pay.

00:20:05.692 --> 00:20:06.933
They want to have a consistent paycheck.

00:20:07.963 --> 00:20:09.785
One hundred five K. I mean,

00:20:10.005 --> 00:20:11.285
I know from some insider

00:20:11.325 --> 00:20:13.086
talks with owners recently

00:20:13.185 --> 00:20:14.066
in the New York City area,

00:20:14.926 --> 00:20:15.967
Spear Physical Therapy is

00:20:16.007 --> 00:20:17.667
paying a lot of their therapists, seventy,

00:20:17.807 --> 00:20:18.008
eighty,

00:20:18.048 --> 00:20:21.269
ninety K per year to be full time staff,

00:20:21.930 --> 00:20:23.670
staff, physical therapists in Manhattan,

00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:24.631
in the New York City area.

00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:24.951
Now,

00:20:25.010 --> 00:20:25.971
it doesn't mean that they live in

00:20:25.990 --> 00:20:26.371
Manhattan.

00:20:26.391 --> 00:20:27.352
They might live in Queens or

00:20:27.392 --> 00:20:28.551
Brooklyn or New Jersey.

00:20:28.971 --> 00:20:29.913
That's a hard one.

00:20:31.781 --> 00:20:32.482
Right, right, right.

00:20:32.563 --> 00:20:33.442
Or they might live uptown,

00:20:33.462 --> 00:20:34.722
they might live in the, you know,

00:20:34.762 --> 00:20:36.023
Harlem or the Bronx, I don't know,

00:20:36.104 --> 00:20:36.443
wherever.

00:20:38.144 --> 00:20:39.865
But if this physical

00:20:39.904 --> 00:20:41.305
therapist is making a

00:20:41.325 --> 00:20:42.125
hundred and five thousand

00:20:42.165 --> 00:20:44.946
dollars and they're getting

00:20:45.267 --> 00:20:46.807
a point five percent merit

00:20:46.826 --> 00:20:49.127
based raise on their base salary.

00:20:51.406 --> 00:20:53.788
The problem is they're saying like,

00:20:54.428 --> 00:20:55.107
I deserve more.

00:20:55.248 --> 00:20:55.407
Like,

00:20:55.448 --> 00:20:56.548
why am I only getting paid a hundred

00:20:56.567 --> 00:20:57.909
five K when I'm billing,

00:20:57.949 --> 00:20:58.548
three hundred sixty

00:20:58.568 --> 00:20:59.628
thousand dollars a year.

00:21:00.568 --> 00:21:02.269
And I don't understand like,

00:21:02.369 --> 00:21:03.390
why not look at it as like,

00:21:03.809 --> 00:21:05.289
how else can I bring value

00:21:05.809 --> 00:21:06.851
to the practice?

00:21:06.871 --> 00:21:08.111
Can I bring new referral sources?

00:21:08.151 --> 00:21:09.530
Can I do more new programs?

00:21:09.550 --> 00:21:10.451
Can I do what Jimmy did?

00:21:10.471 --> 00:21:12.451
Can I go and do some of these, you know,

00:21:12.491 --> 00:21:14.231
tech meetups and maybe, I don't know,

00:21:14.291 --> 00:21:15.692
start an ergonomic program

00:21:15.712 --> 00:21:16.692
for all these technologists

00:21:16.913 --> 00:21:17.813
that are all these companies,

00:21:18.113 --> 00:21:18.993
bring more money to the

00:21:19.013 --> 00:21:20.094
table and then say, hey,

00:21:20.733 --> 00:21:21.795
Can I get twenty five or

00:21:21.835 --> 00:21:22.756
fifty percent of this

00:21:22.816 --> 00:21:24.218
partnership deal or whatever?

00:21:24.699 --> 00:21:25.619
Then that's more money for

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:26.820
the staff physical therapist.

00:21:27.642 --> 00:21:29.644
We know that reimbursement

00:21:29.683 --> 00:21:31.425
is capped or declining and

00:21:31.445 --> 00:21:32.708
there's no wiggle room there.

00:21:33.288 --> 00:21:35.471
So why fight that?

00:21:36.464 --> 00:21:37.945
So it's a psychology thing.

00:21:38.006 --> 00:21:38.506
Number one,

00:21:38.766 --> 00:21:40.247
you were taught in the brochure

00:21:40.728 --> 00:21:41.208
that you're gonna be a

00:21:41.268 --> 00:21:42.228
doctor of physical therapy

00:21:42.248 --> 00:21:43.308
when you walk in this machine.

00:21:43.368 --> 00:21:44.690
And when you come out, there you are,

00:21:44.710 --> 00:21:45.430
you have the degree.

00:21:45.871 --> 00:21:47.632
And then someone goes to US

00:21:47.672 --> 00:21:48.892
News and World Report and

00:21:48.932 --> 00:21:50.093
reads rankings of the

00:21:50.133 --> 00:21:51.213
happiest professions or the

00:21:51.233 --> 00:21:53.375
best schools or the average salary.

00:21:53.454 --> 00:21:54.375
And you're like, great, I'm gonna be,

00:21:54.576 --> 00:21:55.516
that's what I sign up for.

00:21:55.895 --> 00:21:58.617
And that is one person to interpretation.

00:21:58.917 --> 00:22:00.358
Why don't these things happen?

00:22:00.538 --> 00:22:02.039
Or why if I bring in four to

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.280
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

00:22:03.320 --> 00:22:04.020
am I not getting two

00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:04.922
hundred fifty thousand dollars?

00:22:06.297 --> 00:22:07.480
Fifty to sixty percent of

00:22:08.020 --> 00:22:09.523
overhead is wages.

00:22:09.865 --> 00:22:10.867
So that front desk person

00:22:10.887 --> 00:22:12.130
that preps every patient or

00:22:12.171 --> 00:22:12.771
takes a phone call,

00:22:13.173 --> 00:22:13.834
you have to pay for it.

00:22:13.874 --> 00:22:14.896
You have to bring in money

00:22:14.936 --> 00:22:15.739
to pay for Cindy.

00:22:16.917 --> 00:22:19.278
um rent and facility any any

00:22:19.338 --> 00:22:20.598
of the aids any of the the

00:22:20.659 --> 00:22:21.920
non like non-revenue

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:23.039
producing team members

00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:25.320
billing people billing

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:26.181
people we'll get to that if

00:22:26.201 --> 00:22:27.141
you have marketing how did

00:22:27.161 --> 00:22:28.301
you get that patient did

00:22:28.342 --> 00:22:29.402
you physically go out and

00:22:29.442 --> 00:22:30.501
with a sign no you didn't

00:22:30.521 --> 00:22:31.583
you either paid on someone

00:22:31.623 --> 00:22:33.103
to run online ads right

00:22:33.383 --> 00:22:35.124
amen so amen so fifty to

00:22:35.144 --> 00:22:37.505
sixty percent of total revenue is

00:22:38.444 --> 00:22:39.924
salaries everybody in the

00:22:39.944 --> 00:22:41.486
room yes whether they are

00:22:41.566 --> 00:22:43.726
revenue generating or not

00:22:44.066 --> 00:22:44.885
they like to get paid

00:22:44.925 --> 00:22:45.506
because they have to pay

00:22:45.665 --> 00:22:46.727
rent for their own

00:22:46.926 --> 00:22:48.446
apartments number two rent

00:22:48.467 --> 00:22:49.926
and facility costs it's

00:22:50.047 --> 00:22:51.708
usually a huge major fixed

00:22:51.768 --> 00:22:54.188
cost medical spaces too are

00:22:54.228 --> 00:22:55.188
commercial they are going

00:22:55.208 --> 00:22:56.229
to be more than the square

00:22:56.249 --> 00:22:56.949
footage that you're living

00:22:57.009 --> 00:22:59.608
in now third comes back to

00:22:59.648 --> 00:23:02.309
the first one benefits and payroll taxes

00:23:03.268 --> 00:23:04.269
I know that like a hundred

00:23:04.308 --> 00:23:05.611
thousand dollars is what you look at.

00:23:05.830 --> 00:23:06.791
But when an employer offers

00:23:06.811 --> 00:23:07.613
you health insurance,

00:23:07.833 --> 00:23:08.753
they are paying that.

00:23:09.976 --> 00:23:10.696
To Dave's credit,

00:23:10.737 --> 00:23:11.557
he called the next one

00:23:11.897 --> 00:23:12.798
billing and revenue cycle

00:23:12.818 --> 00:23:16.383
management in-house or outsourced.

00:23:16.522 --> 00:23:17.403
It's usually a big deal.

00:23:17.443 --> 00:23:19.446
So saving a point or two or

00:23:19.487 --> 00:23:20.387
getting a better one

00:23:21.718 --> 00:23:23.419
is a big deal so that could

00:23:23.439 --> 00:23:24.739
be four to seven percent

00:23:25.719 --> 00:23:26.778
I've heard as many as I've

00:23:26.798 --> 00:23:28.039
heard some people doing ten

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:29.480
or twelve percent could you

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:31.101
imagine that twelve ten or

00:23:31.121 --> 00:23:32.000
twelve that's not that

00:23:32.040 --> 00:23:33.300
crazy but people don't know

00:23:33.320 --> 00:23:33.862
because people haven't

00:23:33.902 --> 00:23:35.182
talked about it uh

00:23:35.221 --> 00:23:37.823
insurance your emr ehr so

00:23:37.863 --> 00:23:39.182
technology like that that

00:23:39.202 --> 00:23:41.523
could be uh like what

00:23:41.584 --> 00:23:42.804
ballpark emr costs a

00:23:42.844 --> 00:23:43.604
hundred dollars per

00:23:43.644 --> 00:23:44.565
provider three hundred

00:23:44.585 --> 00:23:45.384
dollars I've heard I've

00:23:45.404 --> 00:23:47.365
heard some wild ranges of

00:23:47.464 --> 00:23:49.046
emr costs per provider per month

00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:52.310
Yeah, a hundred, a hundred.

00:23:52.351 --> 00:23:53.152
I mean, I think prompt,

00:23:53.432 --> 00:23:55.212
I've heard prompt nowadays

00:23:55.413 --> 00:23:56.334
is more expensive.

00:23:57.775 --> 00:23:59.876
But yeah, in that range.

00:24:01.698 --> 00:24:02.699
You see all these things

00:24:02.939 --> 00:24:04.460
that come to fruition, yeah.

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.020
Absolutely.

00:24:05.121 --> 00:24:06.321
Overall, as a review,

00:24:06.442 --> 00:24:08.423
there's like three main buckets, right?

00:24:08.442 --> 00:24:09.683
So you said like the

00:24:09.723 --> 00:24:11.645
personnel and the labor side, right?

00:24:11.726 --> 00:24:13.987
And like you said, fifty to sixty percent.

00:24:14.407 --> 00:24:15.608
Call it fifty-five percent.

00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:18.451
you got overhead at around

00:24:18.490 --> 00:24:19.391
twenty five percent,

00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:21.392
which only leaves twenty percent profit.

00:24:21.451 --> 00:24:21.612
Now,

00:24:21.672 --> 00:24:23.393
there's not a lot of there's not a ton

00:24:23.413 --> 00:24:24.173
of practices across the

00:24:24.192 --> 00:24:25.993
country that are even at twenty percent.

00:24:26.334 --> 00:24:27.714
So then there's more you take, you know,

00:24:27.734 --> 00:24:29.236
maybe there are ten, eleven, twelve,

00:24:29.256 --> 00:24:30.596
whatever, fifteen percent.

00:24:30.976 --> 00:24:32.076
So the other percentage

00:24:32.116 --> 00:24:33.336
points there that are not

00:24:33.376 --> 00:24:34.157
in the profit bucket

00:24:34.857 --> 00:24:37.239
are already in the personnel

00:24:37.278 --> 00:24:38.299
bucket or the overhead

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:39.299
bucket overhead would be

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:40.861
the rent like you said the

00:24:40.941 --> 00:24:42.481
utilities all the you know

00:24:42.541 --> 00:24:43.221
all the fixed costs the

00:24:43.261 --> 00:24:44.442
equipment buying new

00:24:44.482 --> 00:24:45.262
laptops buying new

00:24:45.303 --> 00:24:46.324
treatment tables building

00:24:46.423 --> 00:24:47.464
out construction building

00:24:47.484 --> 00:24:48.545
you know expanding your

00:24:48.684 --> 00:24:50.165
office opening up the next

00:24:50.286 --> 00:24:52.207
office whatever it is so

00:24:53.007 --> 00:24:55.848
yeah personnel labor uh

00:24:55.868 --> 00:24:57.009
fifty five or so percent

00:24:57.089 --> 00:24:58.329
overhead twenty five ish

00:24:58.369 --> 00:24:59.471
percent probably more

00:25:02.467 --> 00:25:04.367
I feel like Dave will agree with Dave.

00:25:04.468 --> 00:25:06.489
Dave Cohen chiming in saying,

00:25:06.528 --> 00:25:07.250
building and revenue are

00:25:07.289 --> 00:25:07.849
two different animals.

00:25:08.829 --> 00:25:09.691
I didn't understand this,

00:25:10.351 --> 00:25:11.291
but you have to understand

00:25:11.332 --> 00:25:12.172
that different words have

00:25:12.192 --> 00:25:12.952
different definitions.

00:25:13.313 --> 00:25:14.173
Building and revenue are two

00:25:14.192 --> 00:25:14.693
different animals.

00:25:14.753 --> 00:25:16.714
Salary should be a percentage of revenue.

00:25:17.555 --> 00:25:19.037
not of billings agree with

00:25:19.057 --> 00:25:20.960
greg todd this person is in

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:23.163
fact overpaid and it's not

00:25:23.262 --> 00:25:24.263
what they're not saying is

00:25:24.304 --> 00:25:25.506
this person isn't worth

00:25:25.566 --> 00:25:26.827
more but they haven't

00:25:26.928 --> 00:25:29.010
brought it in yet we kill

00:25:29.590 --> 00:25:31.413
we sorry we eat but we kill

00:25:31.473 --> 00:25:33.115
as a pack hey everybody

00:25:33.355 --> 00:25:34.718
let's figure out how to hunt better

00:25:35.439 --> 00:25:37.661
Instead of, and I'm not saying this, well,

00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:38.080
I don't know.

00:25:38.201 --> 00:25:39.742
I can't say this person is

00:25:39.803 --> 00:25:41.223
entitled or not because I

00:25:41.243 --> 00:25:42.085
don't know them well enough.

00:25:42.444 --> 00:25:44.205
But what you might say is, hey,

00:25:44.306 --> 00:25:45.326
why is it this way?

00:25:45.626 --> 00:25:46.508
And then someone,

00:25:46.708 --> 00:25:47.689
a good owner will sit you

00:25:47.709 --> 00:25:48.730
down and be like, okay, my man,

00:25:49.109 --> 00:25:50.010
let's talk about numbers.

00:25:50.211 --> 00:25:52.032
Like be John Taffer in Bar Rescue.

00:25:52.373 --> 00:25:53.314
Let's break open the books.

00:25:53.354 --> 00:25:54.394
Did you know that we picked

00:25:54.414 --> 00:25:55.575
this location over that one

00:25:55.855 --> 00:25:56.415
because of this?

00:25:56.455 --> 00:25:57.977
And then this costs four

00:25:57.997 --> 00:25:58.978
dollars more per square

00:25:59.038 --> 00:26:00.318
foot times all this.

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:01.759
You want to have, you know.

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:04.202
a grass floor a turf floor

00:26:04.242 --> 00:26:05.223
we can do whatever that

00:26:05.263 --> 00:26:06.424
costs money that floor

00:26:06.464 --> 00:26:08.448
costs money over and over

00:26:08.528 --> 00:26:11.009
so yeah I think more I

00:26:11.029 --> 00:26:11.530
think we need more

00:26:11.590 --> 00:26:13.073
education and more transparency

00:26:14.396 --> 00:26:15.357
This is where even if I'm

00:26:15.397 --> 00:26:16.338
not going to be a business owner,

00:26:16.378 --> 00:26:17.779
me understanding how

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.080
businesses work will make me go, oh, okay,

00:26:20.301 --> 00:26:20.642
I get it.

00:26:20.821 --> 00:26:21.782
That's why I can't make two

00:26:21.803 --> 00:26:22.682
hundred thousand dollars.

00:26:23.223 --> 00:26:24.605
They don't want to give it to you.

00:26:25.005 --> 00:26:25.786
These are a lot of ex

00:26:25.806 --> 00:26:26.807
clinicians who would love

00:26:26.846 --> 00:26:28.748
to make other clinicians more money.

00:26:28.948 --> 00:26:30.209
And they're not laughing

00:26:30.249 --> 00:26:31.609
their way to the bank all the time.

00:26:31.650 --> 00:26:32.471
Sometimes they are.

00:26:32.651 --> 00:26:35.913
They get paid last and they are.

00:26:36.054 --> 00:26:38.476
Their salary is very

00:26:38.556 --> 00:26:39.717
variable from month to month.

00:26:40.196 --> 00:26:41.157
Imagine that.

00:26:41.874 --> 00:26:43.615
So good call, David.

00:26:43.634 --> 00:26:43.714
Yeah,

00:26:43.734 --> 00:26:44.595
and none of the staff physical

00:26:44.615 --> 00:26:46.355
therapists understand that.

00:26:47.276 --> 00:26:48.737
Well, I shouldn't say none.

00:26:48.817 --> 00:26:50.998
A lot of them do.

00:26:51.097 --> 00:26:53.278
I feel like more people understand.

00:26:53.298 --> 00:26:54.999
They understand that the

00:26:55.078 --> 00:26:56.660
owner sometimes gets

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:57.861
squeezed with this profit, right?

00:26:57.881 --> 00:26:58.961
So if there's extra,

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.781
depending on capacity and

00:27:00.842 --> 00:27:04.083
referrals and team members and all that,

00:27:04.303 --> 00:27:05.983
the personnel and the overhead bucket,

00:27:06.064 --> 00:27:07.124
it's easy for those buckets

00:27:07.163 --> 00:27:07.805
to be bloated.

00:27:08.325 --> 00:27:09.884
It gets taken away from the profit bucket.

00:27:09.904 --> 00:27:10.625
There's three buckets.

00:27:11.477 --> 00:27:13.098
um it's saying uh base

00:27:13.118 --> 00:27:14.099
salary plus a percentage of

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:15.560
collected revenue adds

00:27:15.961 --> 00:27:16.821
safety for the owner

00:27:16.902 --> 00:27:19.384
absolutely how like how how

00:27:19.644 --> 00:27:20.566
what a great motivating

00:27:20.605 --> 00:27:21.727
factor would that would

00:27:21.747 --> 00:27:22.667
that be it's like okay

00:27:22.688 --> 00:27:23.749
you're that's how sales

00:27:23.788 --> 00:27:24.910
works a lot of times

00:27:24.930 --> 00:27:25.851
there's different ways for

00:27:25.871 --> 00:27:27.451
sales like base salary but

00:27:27.471 --> 00:27:28.192
if you really want to make

00:27:28.232 --> 00:27:30.494
money my man go go hunt

00:27:30.714 --> 00:27:33.157
like let's go hunt um but

00:27:33.278 --> 00:27:35.259
that's it's a mindset shift

00:27:35.904 --> 00:27:37.246
across all the Facebook groups,

00:27:37.286 --> 00:27:38.548
across LinkedIn, whatever,

00:27:38.567 --> 00:27:40.690
like all the physical therapy groups that,

00:27:40.869 --> 00:27:41.711
that I've basically have

00:27:41.730 --> 00:27:44.252
gotten out of everyone saying,

00:27:44.272 --> 00:27:46.075
I would say everyone,

00:27:46.115 --> 00:27:47.496
like almost all these staff

00:27:47.516 --> 00:27:49.498
physical therapists are like, you know,

00:27:49.637 --> 00:27:50.298
I deserve more.

00:27:50.338 --> 00:27:50.459
We,

00:27:50.719 --> 00:27:52.461
we deserve more because we're DPTs

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:53.622
because we're doctors, physical therapy.

00:27:53.682 --> 00:27:55.763
We deserve more because we

00:27:55.784 --> 00:27:56.704
have all the student loan debt.

00:27:58.227 --> 00:28:00.568
None of them ever say, um,

00:28:01.868 --> 00:28:02.809
I'm going to bring in this

00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:04.131
extra fifty K or one

00:28:04.171 --> 00:28:07.192
hundred K in revenue from running groups,

00:28:07.272 --> 00:28:08.334
from partnerships.

00:28:08.594 --> 00:28:08.854
I mean,

00:28:08.874 --> 00:28:09.994
there's some there's some practice

00:28:10.035 --> 00:28:10.535
owners that have

00:28:10.575 --> 00:28:11.516
partnerships with like big

00:28:11.556 --> 00:28:12.477
companies like with on

00:28:12.517 --> 00:28:14.478
running and Strava and

00:28:14.959 --> 00:28:16.259
different brands and stuff

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:17.681
like Adidas and stuff like that,

00:28:17.701 --> 00:28:18.922
like that.

00:28:19.021 --> 00:28:20.282
Now, of course, that takes effort.

00:28:20.903 --> 00:28:21.804
Yes, that takes effort.

00:28:22.503 --> 00:28:23.045
It takes time.

00:28:23.444 --> 00:28:25.066
And that could be you

00:28:25.105 --> 00:28:26.207
mentioned behind the scenes, Jimmy,

00:28:26.247 --> 00:28:28.528
like how how could a person

00:28:28.548 --> 00:28:29.589
in an organization like

00:28:30.289 --> 00:28:32.010
Should they ask the CEO or

00:28:32.030 --> 00:28:33.152
someone for permission for

00:28:33.172 --> 00:28:33.692
this type of stuff?

00:28:33.712 --> 00:28:35.114
Should they ask the owner or

00:28:35.153 --> 00:28:36.335
should they just go and try

00:28:36.355 --> 00:28:38.757
to do the thing and ask for

00:28:38.817 --> 00:28:40.198
forgiveness or permission later?

00:28:41.439 --> 00:28:42.480
A lot of the therapists are

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:44.382
not going out and being

00:28:44.422 --> 00:28:45.923
proactive and saying,

00:28:46.323 --> 00:28:47.723
how could we start a new program?

00:28:47.763 --> 00:28:53.068
How can I, as a therapist,

00:28:53.088 --> 00:28:55.191
bring more value into the practice

00:28:56.128 --> 00:28:58.869
And because I have a cushion

00:28:59.250 --> 00:29:01.010
of a fixed guaranteed salary,

00:29:02.271 --> 00:29:03.531
so they don't have downside.

00:29:03.551 --> 00:29:04.633
They don't have a lot of downside.

00:29:05.173 --> 00:29:06.153
They're asking for more

00:29:06.212 --> 00:29:08.034
upside without any cut in the downside,

00:29:08.394 --> 00:29:08.875
right?

00:29:08.894 --> 00:29:09.615
But they're not bringing any

00:29:09.634 --> 00:29:10.595
of these programs or these

00:29:10.674 --> 00:29:12.996
ideas or these partnerships, revenue,

00:29:13.336 --> 00:29:15.517
profits into the practice and saying, hey,

00:29:15.557 --> 00:29:16.758
if I bring this in,

00:29:17.137 --> 00:29:18.519
can I get fifty percent of this?

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:19.660
Like,

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.500
cause I know you're going to have the

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:21.340
overhead of actually

00:29:21.881 --> 00:29:23.261
rolling it out and like

00:29:24.021 --> 00:29:25.301
onboarding all the therapists.

00:29:25.362 --> 00:29:26.323
If it's a new thing and

00:29:26.722 --> 00:29:28.263
educating our therapists,

00:29:28.364 --> 00:29:29.124
like here's why we're doing

00:29:29.144 --> 00:29:29.943
this partnership with

00:29:30.503 --> 00:29:32.265
Strava or on running or whatever.

00:29:32.585 --> 00:29:33.266
Here's what we're going to

00:29:33.286 --> 00:29:33.945
do this run club.

00:29:33.965 --> 00:29:34.766
We're going to, I mean,

00:29:34.786 --> 00:29:35.685
there's a ton of personal

00:29:35.727 --> 00:29:36.547
trainers that are eating

00:29:36.586 --> 00:29:38.367
our lunch with doing like

00:29:38.407 --> 00:29:39.407
workshops and talks and

00:29:39.567 --> 00:29:42.068
running groups with like ASICs.

00:29:42.148 --> 00:29:42.828
And they're going to like

00:29:42.848 --> 00:29:44.369
the ASIC stores and the

00:29:44.549 --> 00:29:46.371
personal trainers are talking about

00:29:47.131 --> 00:29:49.512
Foot types and different shoe styles.

00:29:49.633 --> 00:29:49.833
I mean,

00:29:49.913 --> 00:29:51.213
physical therapists should be doing that.

00:29:51.334 --> 00:29:51.993
It's insane.

00:29:52.515 --> 00:29:53.075
I always say,

00:29:53.174 --> 00:29:56.237
when PTs... I forget who the guy was,

00:29:56.297 --> 00:29:57.478
but he was in a Facebook group.

00:29:57.778 --> 00:29:59.960
And he was like, look at this trainer.

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.780
This person's teaching... He

00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:02.662
was a trainer...

00:30:03.382 --> 00:30:04.583
teaching offering a

00:30:04.663 --> 00:30:06.005
certification class or a

00:30:06.325 --> 00:30:07.365
continuing education class

00:30:07.506 --> 00:30:09.567
for other trainers not a pt

00:30:10.008 --> 00:30:11.229
and this guy screenshots it

00:30:11.490 --> 00:30:13.131
drops it in a google at a

00:30:13.171 --> 00:30:14.392
facebook group and of

00:30:14.432 --> 00:30:16.193
course it's like me with

00:30:16.233 --> 00:30:18.135
piranhas yeah yeah and he's

00:30:18.155 --> 00:30:19.856
like his his bone to pick

00:30:19.876 --> 00:30:21.679
was he listed all the

00:30:21.699 --> 00:30:23.840
pathologies that this would

00:30:23.881 --> 00:30:25.001
be able to help he's like

00:30:25.522 --> 00:30:26.644
he's using all these terms

00:30:26.683 --> 00:30:27.704
for the people we help and

00:30:27.785 --> 00:30:28.605
I just chime in and I go

00:30:29.517 --> 00:30:30.258
Do we have some sort of

00:30:30.298 --> 00:30:31.859
proprietary ownership of

00:30:31.940 --> 00:30:32.780
treating people with those?

00:30:32.901 --> 00:30:34.483
If those people with those

00:30:34.503 --> 00:30:36.967
conditions want to see that person,

00:30:37.688 --> 00:30:40.131
medical license or not, this is America,

00:30:40.151 --> 00:30:40.490
baby.

00:30:40.632 --> 00:30:41.311
They're going to do it.

00:30:41.373 --> 00:30:42.894
Are you mad he's doing it or

00:30:42.954 --> 00:30:44.896
mad he's doing it better than you?

00:30:45.577 --> 00:30:46.337
because he clearly

00:30:46.377 --> 00:30:47.959
communicated if you do this

00:30:48.038 --> 00:30:49.299
you will be more confident

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:50.660
and competent in working

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.280
with these people the dude

00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:53.821
was I'm gonna now I'm gonna

00:30:53.882 --> 00:30:54.922
be stereotyping the dude in

00:30:54.961 --> 00:30:55.623
his profile picture a

00:30:55.643 --> 00:30:57.143
little bit old older so I'm

00:30:57.202 --> 00:30:58.384
guessing he had a

00:30:58.483 --> 00:31:00.424
solidified world view I

00:31:00.484 --> 00:31:01.724
need you to have a more

00:31:01.885 --> 00:31:03.125
liquid world view that

00:31:03.145 --> 00:31:05.307
would be my hot take right

00:31:05.326 --> 00:31:06.907
so I understand that you

00:31:07.028 --> 00:31:09.028
are offended that you're not making more

00:31:10.252 --> 00:31:12.233
Tough, let's do something about it.

00:31:12.314 --> 00:31:13.355
This is not a bunch of

00:31:13.474 --> 00:31:14.335
owners sitting on a hill

00:31:14.375 --> 00:31:17.017
somewhere giggling as all their minions.

00:31:17.037 --> 00:31:18.678
Maybe there's some jackasses like that,

00:31:18.698 --> 00:31:19.858
but most of the people are

00:31:19.898 --> 00:31:20.659
bleeding hearts.

00:31:21.058 --> 00:31:22.339
They did it because they were like,

00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:23.621
all right, this is my path forward.

00:31:24.642 --> 00:31:26.623
And this math doesn't math.

00:31:28.724 --> 00:31:30.186
A lot of these staff physical therapists,

00:31:30.207 --> 00:31:33.730
they want a boost in their base salary,

00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:35.073
this guaranteed salary,

00:31:35.093 --> 00:31:35.993
but they also don't want to

00:31:36.013 --> 00:31:38.037
go do these talks at seven, eight p.m.

00:31:38.377 --> 00:31:41.922
at these gyms, the ASIC store, whatever.

00:31:42.182 --> 00:31:43.243
You want extra money

00:31:44.125 --> 00:31:44.744
but you don't want to

00:31:44.825 --> 00:31:46.286
actually bring value to the

00:31:46.326 --> 00:31:48.165
table like if I if I had

00:31:48.465 --> 00:31:49.527
team members or therapists

00:31:49.926 --> 00:31:50.967
say I want to do this I

00:31:50.987 --> 00:31:51.586
want to do this I want to

00:31:51.606 --> 00:31:54.048
do this like then our name

00:31:54.067 --> 00:31:55.228
and our branding and you

00:31:55.248 --> 00:31:55.949
know we're getting out

00:31:55.969 --> 00:31:57.368
there more in the community

00:31:57.409 --> 00:31:59.869
like and then show me like

00:32:00.009 --> 00:32:01.210
let's track it like you did

00:32:01.230 --> 00:32:01.930
a talk you did a

00:32:01.971 --> 00:32:03.151
presentation whatever we

00:32:03.171 --> 00:32:04.250
got how many leads we got

00:32:04.290 --> 00:32:05.412
how many new patients they

00:32:05.451 --> 00:32:06.551
spent what dollars

00:32:08.109 --> 00:32:09.010
The problem is that second

00:32:09.050 --> 00:32:10.172
part is tracking it.

00:32:10.211 --> 00:32:10.332
Well,

00:32:10.412 --> 00:32:11.512
I'm going to go do this and this and

00:32:11.532 --> 00:32:11.813
this.

00:32:11.833 --> 00:32:12.673
And then you as an owner are

00:32:12.713 --> 00:32:13.835
probably saying, okay,

00:32:14.256 --> 00:32:15.056
let's walk through how

00:32:15.076 --> 00:32:16.738
that's going to bring us business.

00:32:16.917 --> 00:32:17.519
You're just saying,

00:32:17.558 --> 00:32:18.459
let's go through the process.

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:20.421
What if you do it ten times

00:32:20.701 --> 00:32:21.741
and it only brings us

00:32:22.262 --> 00:32:23.584
thirty percent of what you

00:32:23.624 --> 00:32:26.086
thought it was going to?

00:32:26.205 --> 00:32:27.227
Then the owner and the staff

00:32:27.247 --> 00:32:27.827
physical therapist,

00:32:27.988 --> 00:32:29.068
we can share that thirty percent.

00:32:30.589 --> 00:32:34.112
Because you are now at the

00:32:34.152 --> 00:32:36.813
same level of risk and downside.

00:32:37.894 --> 00:32:38.854
You did a bunch of work.

00:32:39.153 --> 00:32:40.875
You did a bunch of time at six, seven,

00:32:40.894 --> 00:32:42.096
eight PM after your workday

00:32:42.375 --> 00:32:43.757
to go do whatever, to do talks,

00:32:43.777 --> 00:32:45.438
to do running works, whatever.

00:32:46.518 --> 00:32:47.318
And it didn't work.

00:32:47.739 --> 00:32:49.180
And so you're only going to

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.880
get paid what that...

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:51.361
brings in so if it brought

00:32:51.421 --> 00:32:52.321
in you know thirty percent

00:32:52.342 --> 00:32:54.324
of the projection then yeah

00:32:54.403 --> 00:32:55.265
yeah let's split then I'll

00:32:55.285 --> 00:32:56.365
take the fifty fifteen

00:32:56.405 --> 00:32:57.426
percent you take fifteen

00:32:57.446 --> 00:32:59.028
percent of what it brought

00:32:59.088 --> 00:33:01.632
in uh because I had no

00:33:01.711 --> 00:33:03.673
extra time or risk my risk

00:33:03.713 --> 00:33:04.634
is shared with your risk

00:33:04.914 --> 00:33:05.935
and I didn't have any extra

00:33:05.996 --> 00:33:07.396
time other than it was your

00:33:07.938 --> 00:33:10.160
own time to do it sure now

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:11.821
now let's look at that I'm cool with that

00:33:13.103 --> 00:33:14.865
This has been a mind, like an even more,

00:33:14.884 --> 00:33:16.286
like I understood that from

00:33:16.326 --> 00:33:17.287
running radio stations.

00:33:17.686 --> 00:33:19.028
I would have people pitch ideas to me.

00:33:19.248 --> 00:33:21.450
And then I would have on-air

00:33:21.490 --> 00:33:23.571
talent pitch an idea for a

00:33:23.692 --> 00:33:24.792
sponsorable feature.

00:33:25.012 --> 00:33:25.153
Hey,

00:33:25.192 --> 00:33:26.413
I'm gonna do this thing every day at

00:33:26.454 --> 00:33:26.914
twelve.

00:33:27.315 --> 00:33:27.976
We could probably get

00:33:28.016 --> 00:33:29.057
someone to sponsor it.

00:33:29.656 --> 00:33:30.657
Can I get some of that money?

00:33:30.738 --> 00:33:31.598
And I'm like, absolutely.

00:33:31.858 --> 00:33:33.461
But now you're in on it with

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:34.642
me through the whole process.

00:33:35.241 --> 00:33:36.323
Because now a salesperson

00:33:36.343 --> 00:33:37.083
has to go pitch that.

00:33:37.202 --> 00:33:38.203
That salesperson has to get

00:33:38.223 --> 00:33:39.503
paid because that's their job.

00:33:39.805 --> 00:33:41.105
They're going to take a cut of that.

00:33:41.746 --> 00:33:42.766
And then everybody in this

00:33:42.806 --> 00:33:43.747
room or some of the team is

00:33:43.767 --> 00:33:44.826
going to help produce that.

00:33:45.106 --> 00:33:46.127
That's part of their revenue.

00:33:46.587 --> 00:33:48.088
So what I don't want people thinking is,

00:33:48.328 --> 00:33:49.630
I brought in an extra hundred grand.

00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:50.750
Where's my extra hundred grand?

00:33:51.030 --> 00:33:51.431
My man,

00:33:51.631 --> 00:33:53.791
we got to pay for the machine that

00:33:53.832 --> 00:33:54.913
allowed you to do that.

00:33:55.373 --> 00:33:56.673
I had a kid who would not be

00:33:56.693 --> 00:33:57.453
able to understand this.

00:33:57.473 --> 00:33:58.055
He's like, if I...

00:33:58.775 --> 00:33:59.856
help you sell a sponsorship

00:33:59.896 --> 00:34:00.778
for ten grand a month.

00:34:00.897 --> 00:34:01.878
I want ten grand a month.

00:34:01.898 --> 00:34:02.619
I'm like, my man,

00:34:02.961 --> 00:34:04.682
you don't own the radio station.

00:34:04.983 --> 00:34:06.746
We have to pay for this machine.

00:34:07.386 --> 00:34:07.626
Exactly.

00:34:07.646 --> 00:34:08.588
I love the fact that you're

00:34:08.608 --> 00:34:09.389
like what you're thinking

00:34:09.429 --> 00:34:10.510
in ten grand a month.

00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:10.891
Awesome.

00:34:11.012 --> 00:34:12.673
I will happily make this

00:34:12.713 --> 00:34:13.916
part of your job and you

00:34:13.936 --> 00:34:14.856
get a cut of that.

00:34:15.628 --> 00:34:16.389
But dude,

00:34:16.670 --> 00:34:19.472
I have to keep the lights on

00:34:19.612 --> 00:34:21.153
while you're doing extra money?

00:34:21.353 --> 00:34:22.815
No, you're part of it,

00:34:22.855 --> 00:34:24.436
which means you get part of it.

00:34:25.838 --> 00:34:26.798
Oh, the thing I was gonna say was,

00:34:27.139 --> 00:34:28.039
this has been a cool

00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.681
mindset shift for me in my new job.

00:34:31.282 --> 00:34:32.503
I'm in partnerships.

00:34:33.570 --> 00:34:35.512
So it's different than an affiliate code,

00:34:35.711 --> 00:34:35.851
right?

00:34:35.891 --> 00:34:37.213
We've all had like us share

00:34:37.233 --> 00:34:37.875
this affiliate code.

00:34:37.894 --> 00:34:38.815
That's not what partnerships are.

00:34:39.135 --> 00:34:40.237
Partnerships are cool.

00:34:40.597 --> 00:34:41.538
And I'm just starting.

00:34:41.577 --> 00:34:42.539
I'm two months in.

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.760
Cool.

00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.802
Here's why though.

00:34:45.862 --> 00:34:47.043
So I don't want two hundred

00:34:47.103 --> 00:34:48.965
partners working with me

00:34:49.445 --> 00:34:50.688
because I look at myself.

00:34:50.708 --> 00:34:51.608
I'm Jerry Maguire.

00:34:52.949 --> 00:34:57.373
Help me help you show me the money, baby.

00:34:57.992 --> 00:34:58.474
I will.

00:34:59.134 --> 00:35:00.655
But help me help you is first,

00:35:00.715 --> 00:35:01.916
which is I'd like to have,

00:35:02.016 --> 00:35:03.896
and I'm making up a number,

00:35:04.418 --> 00:35:06.599
because once I hit my limit on partners,

00:35:06.699 --> 00:35:07.800
like Jerry Maguire said,

00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.461
it's not just more and more athletes.

00:35:10.561 --> 00:35:12.123
It's deeper connections with

00:35:12.182 --> 00:35:13.063
fewer athletes.

00:35:13.103 --> 00:35:13.963
That was the thing that he

00:35:13.983 --> 00:35:16.125
wrote in his hotel room where I am now.

00:35:17.126 --> 00:35:17.967
The things we want,

00:35:18.106 --> 00:35:19.487
the things we think but do not say.

00:35:19.588 --> 00:35:20.949
That was his thesis.

00:35:20.969 --> 00:35:22.068
That was his clarion call

00:35:22.128 --> 00:35:22.789
that got him fired.

00:35:23.309 --> 00:35:27.295
By more, what was it?

00:35:27.315 --> 00:35:27.675
Jerry Moore.

00:35:27.715 --> 00:35:29.817
Jerry Moore.

00:35:29.836 --> 00:35:31.838
So here's how partnerships shifted.

00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:32.940
Here's maybe how clinicians

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:33.721
should look at it.

00:35:34.742 --> 00:35:35.844
I'm going to facilitate a

00:35:35.884 --> 00:35:37.945
relationship with someone, right?

00:35:38.005 --> 00:35:39.146
But then it's your duty

00:35:39.246 --> 00:35:40.648
after you sign that partnership,

00:35:40.969 --> 00:35:42.610
it's now two ways, right?

00:35:42.771 --> 00:35:44.192
So I'm looking to get twenty

00:35:44.211 --> 00:35:45.414
five or thirty partners.

00:35:45.474 --> 00:35:47.956
And then one day a month is

00:35:48.016 --> 00:35:48.976
Jimmy's responsibility to

00:35:48.996 --> 00:35:49.697
get a call and say,

00:35:50.018 --> 00:35:52.159
how do we now become successful?

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.521
I don't expect me to sign a

00:35:53.561 --> 00:35:54.681
partnership and have that

00:35:54.722 --> 00:35:56.143
person just go bring me

00:35:56.184 --> 00:35:58.226
business without me doing a part of it.

00:35:58.365 --> 00:35:58.666
Now, yes,

00:35:58.925 --> 00:36:00.126
me paying that person or giving

00:36:00.146 --> 00:36:01.489
them a fee is part of it.

00:36:01.929 --> 00:36:02.929
But to me,

00:36:03.110 --> 00:36:04.371
I like the relationship build

00:36:04.411 --> 00:36:06.012
part of partnerships, right,

00:36:06.032 --> 00:36:07.353
which is not sponsorships.

00:36:07.472 --> 00:36:09.594
It's not affiliates, not affiliate codes.

00:36:10.054 --> 00:36:12.356
It's a little bit deeper.

00:36:12.655 --> 00:36:14.016
Now that we're in partnership together,

00:36:14.297 --> 00:36:15.577
my first question should

00:36:15.617 --> 00:36:17.179
not be how much can you bring me?

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:19.320
What can I help you do?

00:36:19.701 --> 00:36:21.202
Like this guy, Alex, like in theory,

00:36:21.222 --> 00:36:22.282
if he were to become a partner, I'd go,

00:36:22.302 --> 00:36:22.762
great, Alex,

00:36:22.963 --> 00:36:24.384
you've got a bananas idea in

00:36:24.403 --> 00:36:25.405
this in-person event.

00:36:25.684 --> 00:36:27.085
How does Jimmy help you get

00:36:27.126 --> 00:36:27.806
more people there?

00:36:28.045 --> 00:36:29.648
How does Jimmy help you, you know,

00:36:30.007 --> 00:36:31.369
he mentioned he has two podcasts.

00:36:32.108 --> 00:36:33.309
he doesn't have two podcasts

00:36:33.349 --> 00:36:34.530
he has two podcasts just on

00:36:34.590 --> 00:36:35.869
youtube and I'm like my man

00:36:35.889 --> 00:36:36.949
you got to be on spotify

00:36:37.271 --> 00:36:37.871
all your stuff your

00:36:37.911 --> 00:36:38.871
interviews are bananas but

00:36:39.130 --> 00:36:41.331
let me help you let help me

00:36:41.751 --> 00:36:42.532
help you it's all jerry

00:36:42.552 --> 00:36:43.791
maguire I'm going to take

00:36:43.811 --> 00:36:44.652
my entire career in

00:36:44.672 --> 00:36:45.833
partnerships all the

00:36:45.853 --> 00:36:47.554
leadership uh if from from

00:36:47.594 --> 00:36:49.094
jerry maguire and I did

00:36:49.134 --> 00:36:49.893
make a jerry maguire

00:36:49.914 --> 00:36:50.693
reference the other day in

00:36:50.713 --> 00:36:52.195
a meeting and it also got

00:36:52.215 --> 00:36:53.735
missed half the room didn't

00:36:53.795 --> 00:36:55.516
know it was like

00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:57.639
I think I said,

00:36:57.659 --> 00:36:59.443
help me help you and show me the money.

00:36:59.923 --> 00:37:01.447
And I had people like, yeah.

00:37:01.487 --> 00:37:02.148
And then they were like,

00:37:03.284 --> 00:37:05.605
And I'm like, oh, it hurts my soul.

00:37:06.826 --> 00:37:08.326
But that message should

00:37:08.405 --> 00:37:09.865
still resonate with your team members,

00:37:09.925 --> 00:37:10.987
even if they don't know the

00:37:11.027 --> 00:37:12.047
movie Jerry Maguire, right?

00:37:12.327 --> 00:37:13.007
Well, yes,

00:37:13.027 --> 00:37:13.827
but I think the people that

00:37:13.847 --> 00:37:14.226
resonate with it.

00:37:14.246 --> 00:37:14.806
It's very obvious.

00:37:14.847 --> 00:37:15.547
Help me help you.

00:37:15.568 --> 00:37:16.367
You're in partnerships.

00:37:16.788 --> 00:37:18.728
Right, but help me help you is a cliche,

00:37:18.967 --> 00:37:20.068
but because it was in the movie,

00:37:20.108 --> 00:37:21.548
it's an emotional cliche.

00:37:21.568 --> 00:37:22.509
Right, right, right, right.

00:37:22.809 --> 00:37:24.608
Somebody who understands and agrees,

00:37:24.969 --> 00:37:25.969
why don't we think this way?

00:37:26.389 --> 00:37:27.250
I think Jerry's saying,

00:37:27.550 --> 00:37:28.670
I think he's saying, why don't we,

00:37:28.710 --> 00:37:30.411
the profession, think this way?

00:37:30.570 --> 00:37:31.431
And this was a few minutes ago,

00:37:31.451 --> 00:37:32.610
so I don't even know what his record was.

00:37:34.108 --> 00:37:34.487
Also,

00:37:34.847 --> 00:37:37.548
Jerry Durham's Giants beat my

00:37:37.588 --> 00:37:38.688
Phillies two out of three.

00:37:39.409 --> 00:37:40.730
I was talking smack online,

00:37:41.449 --> 00:37:42.389
and I have to eat my words

00:37:42.429 --> 00:37:43.751
because they won the series.

00:37:44.291 --> 00:37:45.891
On the road, it was in Philly,

00:37:45.931 --> 00:37:48.231
so shout out to Jerry and his SF Giants.

00:37:48.632 --> 00:37:50.472
I saw JT Real Muto got

00:37:50.512 --> 00:37:51.492
called out on a called

00:37:51.532 --> 00:37:54.333
strike that was four inches

00:37:54.414 --> 00:37:54.974
off the plate.

00:37:55.653 --> 00:37:56.974
The robot umpires are

00:37:56.994 --> 00:37:59.594
sitting off the snake going like,

00:37:59.675 --> 00:38:00.295
all right.

00:38:00.376 --> 00:38:01.635
I can't wait for the robot umpires.

00:38:02.710 --> 00:38:04.231
Not robot physical therapist,

00:38:04.592 --> 00:38:06.072
but I want robot umpires.

00:38:06.333 --> 00:38:08.934
At least robot umpires helping on, like,

00:38:08.954 --> 00:38:10.115
didn't we do the whole tap

00:38:10.155 --> 00:38:10.755
the helmet thing?

00:38:10.775 --> 00:38:12.117
Is that not happening now?

00:38:12.396 --> 00:38:13.177
I just want, real quick,

00:38:13.257 --> 00:38:14.998
I just want a digital home plate.

00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:16.239
It just lights up green or red.

00:38:16.278 --> 00:38:17.260
Green, like a strike.

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:18.880
Red for a ball or whatever.

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:20.141
Or vice versa.

00:38:20.161 --> 00:38:22.282
But I don't want any, like,

00:38:22.382 --> 00:38:23.503
I had an issue over the

00:38:23.543 --> 00:38:25.224
weekend with a game and a

00:38:25.244 --> 00:38:27.365
bad call in a game with an umpire.

00:38:27.425 --> 00:38:28.686
I was sliding headfirst in a home.

00:38:29.027 --> 00:38:29.487
I was safe.

00:38:29.527 --> 00:38:31.027
My whole dugout erupted

00:38:31.068 --> 00:38:31.789
because I was called out.

00:38:32.568 --> 00:38:33.849
we don't need human umpires

00:38:33.989 --> 00:38:35.369
for baseball at any level

00:38:35.869 --> 00:38:39.010
full stop full stop we do

00:38:39.070 --> 00:38:40.351
we we do need folks like

00:38:40.391 --> 00:38:41.411
jimmy and partnerships

00:38:41.452 --> 00:38:43.731
though partnerships help me

00:38:43.771 --> 00:38:44.313
look look right in the

00:38:44.333 --> 00:38:46.112
camera help me help you um

00:38:46.233 --> 00:38:48.393
I found this online yes

00:38:48.574 --> 00:38:49.994
yeah on linkedin the

00:38:50.034 --> 00:38:50.833
digital version of

00:38:50.934 --> 00:38:52.114
networking because I can't

00:38:52.135 --> 00:38:53.094
walk around new york city

00:38:53.855 --> 00:38:55.376
uh it's called a walk in new york

00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:57.541
reinvent your neuro

00:38:57.581 --> 00:38:58.782
rehabilitation so like

00:38:58.822 --> 00:39:00.021
right off the bat love the

00:39:00.081 --> 00:39:01.764
website like great makes me

00:39:01.884 --> 00:39:02.724
intrigued a little

00:39:02.764 --> 00:39:03.505
confusing because I'm like

00:39:03.525 --> 00:39:04.184
what is it but then it says

00:39:04.204 --> 00:39:04.985
a new kind of private

00:39:05.025 --> 00:39:06.987
practice combining

00:39:07.126 --> 00:39:09.208
self-balancing exoskeletons

00:39:09.648 --> 00:39:11.030
immersive virtual reality

00:39:11.090 --> 00:39:12.510
and personalized care start

00:39:12.530 --> 00:39:13.090
your rehab journey

00:39:14.485 --> 00:39:16.126
So this is a practice online.

00:39:16.626 --> 00:39:17.905
There's that free discovery call,

00:39:17.925 --> 00:39:18.987
which breaks my heart.

00:39:19.007 --> 00:39:20.067
It's the only way to get in.

00:39:20.146 --> 00:39:21.387
I couldn't give you money if I wanted.

00:39:21.407 --> 00:39:23.228
I'd have to do a free discovery call.

00:39:23.289 --> 00:39:24.668
All right.

00:39:25.449 --> 00:39:26.769
I'm interviewing the guy or

00:39:26.829 --> 00:39:27.909
one of the guys behind this

00:39:27.949 --> 00:39:29.070
or somebody involved with this.

00:39:30.324 --> 00:39:31.266
And I was trying to figure

00:39:31.286 --> 00:39:32.846
it out just by looking at the website.

00:39:33.186 --> 00:39:34.608
It looks like they come to

00:39:34.648 --> 00:39:36.608
you with an exoskeleton to your house.

00:39:36.628 --> 00:39:37.768
So it's like concierge care

00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:39.469
in New York if you are a

00:39:39.550 --> 00:39:41.791
neurologic physical therapy patient,

00:39:42.012 --> 00:39:43.612
a patient of neurologic physical therapy.

00:39:43.632 --> 00:39:44.612
There is no way they're

00:39:44.672 --> 00:39:46.614
lugging this around to do house calls.

00:39:46.634 --> 00:39:47.355
There's no way.

00:39:48.476 --> 00:39:50.257
I thought they were on Park Ave South.

00:39:50.637 --> 00:39:51.717
I thought it was brick and mortar.

00:39:52.077 --> 00:39:54.878
I thought it was coming to you.

00:39:54.918 --> 00:39:55.760
Meet the team.

00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:56.559
Hold on.

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:57.541
Go back up a little bit.

00:39:57.641 --> 00:39:59.322
It doesn't say why you should come to us.

00:40:02.081 --> 00:40:02.501
These things?

00:40:02.521 --> 00:40:02.623
No, no.

00:40:02.702 --> 00:40:03.702
Go back a little bit.

00:40:03.744 --> 00:40:04.284
Who should come to us?

00:40:04.344 --> 00:40:05.264
Stroke spinal cord.

00:40:05.664 --> 00:40:06.606
These are all conditions.

00:40:07.766 --> 00:40:10.369
But I thought he said we come to you.

00:40:11.050 --> 00:40:13.992
Who should come to us?

00:40:14.012 --> 00:40:14.773
Come to us.

00:40:14.972 --> 00:40:15.853
I thought the first thing I

00:40:15.873 --> 00:40:16.775
saw in his LinkedIn post

00:40:16.795 --> 00:40:18.456
that led me to this a while ago.

00:40:19.757 --> 00:40:21.438
So this is a good thing.

00:40:21.478 --> 00:40:24.202
And I'm not busting chops here, Josh.

00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:26.411
But if you actually bring an

00:40:26.510 --> 00:40:28.311
exoskeleton to someone,

00:40:28.512 --> 00:40:29.711
if you lug this thing around,

00:40:30.431 --> 00:40:31.492
I've been in one of these things.

00:40:31.873 --> 00:40:32.572
They're cool.

00:40:32.853 --> 00:40:33.753
They're heavy though, right?

00:40:34.193 --> 00:40:36.494
Yeah, but you know how it is.

00:40:36.614 --> 00:40:38.155
I mean, I played with one two years ago.

00:40:38.235 --> 00:40:38.556
By now,

00:40:38.596 --> 00:40:40.257
they might be like half as light or

00:40:40.356 --> 00:40:40.697
I don't know.

00:40:40.817 --> 00:40:41.878
It might fly at this point.

00:40:41.898 --> 00:40:42.918
Who knows?

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.079
If you go to the very bottom

00:40:45.139 --> 00:40:45.920
and I think there was like

00:40:45.940 --> 00:40:48.121
an Instagram button and

00:40:48.141 --> 00:40:49.601
then you could look at their Instagram,

00:40:49.621 --> 00:40:50.922
there was a brick and mortar office.

00:40:50.961 --> 00:40:52.362
Yeah, there is an address.

00:40:53.369 --> 00:40:54.311
There is an address.

00:40:54.990 --> 00:40:55.831
Yeah, just click on that.

00:40:55.851 --> 00:40:57.393
There's like two posts on their Instagram,

00:40:57.434 --> 00:40:58.894
and one shows like a

00:40:58.994 --> 00:41:01.838
street-level office on Park Ave South,

00:41:01.878 --> 00:41:03.378
which that brings me to my

00:41:03.418 --> 00:41:06.242
next point in a second about, yeah,

00:41:06.422 --> 00:41:07.702
that first or second post,

00:41:07.722 --> 00:41:08.264
whatever that is.

00:41:09.125 --> 00:41:11.347
This one?

00:41:11.387 --> 00:41:12.067
The one, yeah,

00:41:12.086 --> 00:41:12.987
where you can see the taxi

00:41:13.007 --> 00:41:13.809
cab on the left.

00:41:14.730 --> 00:41:14.889
Yeah,

00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:17.192
and they're using an overhead harness

00:41:17.211 --> 00:41:17.692
system, too.

00:41:18.641 --> 00:41:19.922
right oh see in the

00:41:19.942 --> 00:41:20.862
beginning I thought they

00:41:20.882 --> 00:41:22.083
were bringing exoskeletons

00:41:22.123 --> 00:41:23.025
to people in new york who

00:41:23.045 --> 00:41:24.467
couldn't get them which I

00:41:24.487 --> 00:41:25.867
don't know man I feel like

00:41:25.887 --> 00:41:26.648
a lot of people would ask

00:41:26.668 --> 00:41:28.329
for that not easy simple

00:41:28.369 --> 00:41:30.132
but not easy that would be

00:41:30.231 --> 00:41:32.693
like let's get into the

00:41:32.894 --> 00:41:34.675
like quick financial like

00:41:35.217 --> 00:41:36.538
nerdy business stuff real

00:41:36.557 --> 00:41:38.199
quick so the space looks

00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:40.342
beautiful the technology looks awesome

00:41:40.981 --> 00:41:42.523
on the website though it

00:41:42.543 --> 00:41:43.364
says that we're you know

00:41:43.385 --> 00:41:44.907
that they take a lot of in

00:41:44.947 --> 00:41:46.047
network or they take a lot

00:41:46.088 --> 00:41:47.009
of insurance including you

00:41:47.028 --> 00:41:48.992
know medicare and like some

00:41:49.012 --> 00:41:49.853
of the other payers right

00:41:50.293 --> 00:41:52.335
on the website so but on

00:41:52.375 --> 00:41:53.817
here it's a one-on-one

00:41:53.896 --> 00:41:55.679
visit it looks like where obviously

00:41:57.128 --> 00:41:58.467
I mean, at least in this video,

00:41:58.527 --> 00:41:59.909
there's a professional,

00:42:00.048 --> 00:42:01.128
I'm assuming that's a therapist,

00:42:01.648 --> 00:42:03.110
with a patient or client

00:42:03.130 --> 00:42:03.989
that has a neurological

00:42:04.030 --> 00:42:07.210
condition that's in the exoskeleton.

00:42:07.471 --> 00:42:08.972
And also, they're on Park Ave South.

00:42:09.731 --> 00:42:11.273
Jerry says, bring on the robots.

00:42:11.413 --> 00:42:12.972
I hope he means talking about MLB,

00:42:13.172 --> 00:42:14.112
but not for physical therapy.

00:42:14.132 --> 00:42:14.353
He does.

00:42:14.434 --> 00:42:15.353
He does.

00:42:16.273 --> 00:42:16.353
Yeah.

00:42:16.373 --> 00:42:16.713
Finally,

00:42:16.753 --> 00:42:17.894
Jerry and I can agree on something.

00:42:18.954 --> 00:42:20.155
Free discovery for everyone.

00:42:20.175 --> 00:42:21.096
It's foolish.

00:42:21.315 --> 00:42:21.635
I agree.

00:42:22.733 --> 00:42:23.034
Yeah, well,

00:42:23.074 --> 00:42:24.434
let me just hammer this point

00:42:24.454 --> 00:42:24.856
for a second.

00:42:24.876 --> 00:42:27.117
So they're on Park Ave South in Manhattan.

00:42:27.918 --> 00:42:29.418
That space is pretty big.

00:42:30.739 --> 00:42:34.422
I would say, I don't know, that's at least,

00:42:35.163 --> 00:42:36.804
that's at least a K per month,

00:42:37.164 --> 00:42:37.965
a thousand dollars a month,

00:42:37.985 --> 00:42:40.347
but it's probably, it's probably ten,

00:42:40.387 --> 00:42:43.489
fifteen, I don't know, K per month.

00:42:45.170 --> 00:42:45.849
And how,

00:42:45.911 --> 00:42:47.070
if you're doing one on one visits

00:42:47.090 --> 00:42:47.532
like this,

00:42:48.467 --> 00:42:48.708
Meaning,

00:42:48.847 --> 00:42:50.532
cause there's a professional or a

00:42:50.594 --> 00:42:51.916
therapist with the patient

00:42:52.478 --> 00:42:53.481
in this exoskeleton

00:42:54.349 --> 00:42:55.568
How can you accept all these

00:42:55.688 --> 00:42:56.750
in-network insurances,

00:42:56.809 --> 00:42:57.730
including like Medicare and

00:42:57.750 --> 00:42:58.750
make a hundred or one

00:42:58.769 --> 00:42:59.771
hundred and twenty per visit?

00:43:00.710 --> 00:43:01.630
And how can you make this

00:43:01.650 --> 00:43:02.471
business model work?

00:43:02.590 --> 00:43:04.911
Maybe we need to hear more from Josh,

00:43:04.931 --> 00:43:05.992
the founder and the

00:43:06.032 --> 00:43:07.152
physical therapist that works here.

00:43:07.512 --> 00:43:09.152
How can you cover the overhead?

00:43:09.172 --> 00:43:09.713
We're already talking.

00:43:09.893 --> 00:43:10.813
We're talking about the personnel,

00:43:10.893 --> 00:43:12.733
the overhead and the profit overhead.

00:43:12.773 --> 00:43:13.773
That overhead harness system

00:43:13.833 --> 00:43:14.494
isn't cheap either.

00:43:14.695 --> 00:43:15.014
Not at all.

00:43:15.034 --> 00:43:16.295
Like not cheap.

00:43:16.315 --> 00:43:17.034
The amount of money that

00:43:17.074 --> 00:43:18.916
they get to even put to buy

00:43:18.956 --> 00:43:19.755
the exoskeleton,

00:43:19.775 --> 00:43:20.576
to have the overhead

00:43:20.596 --> 00:43:22.336
harness attached into the.

00:43:24.190 --> 00:43:24.989
attached overhead.

00:43:25.010 --> 00:43:25.971
So it was already installed.

00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:27.152
So it looks like this

00:43:27.211 --> 00:43:28.393
practice has put a lot of

00:43:28.414 --> 00:43:30.976
money up front to get them running.

00:43:30.996 --> 00:43:32.157
The clinic was beautiful.

00:43:32.177 --> 00:43:32.878
It looks gorgeous.

00:43:32.978 --> 00:43:35.239
I love the aesthetic of it.

00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:35.661
So, yeah,

00:43:39.155 --> 00:43:40.014
I didn't even realize they

00:43:40.034 --> 00:43:41.335
were that expensive so that

00:43:41.556 --> 00:43:43.795
yeah I like maybe he got a

00:43:43.916 --> 00:43:46.016
unit that's like used and

00:43:46.155 --> 00:43:47.217
it's free or it's part of

00:43:47.257 --> 00:43:49.496
some I don't know uh some

00:43:49.556 --> 00:43:50.817
study yes something like

00:43:50.856 --> 00:43:52.597
that maybe that but even

00:43:52.637 --> 00:43:53.458
that you still have the

00:43:53.518 --> 00:43:55.657
overhead of that space the

00:43:55.697 --> 00:43:56.418
the address that's on their

00:43:56.438 --> 00:43:57.777
website Park Ave South not

00:43:57.918 --> 00:43:59.798
cheap at all but this store

00:43:59.838 --> 00:44:01.539
for storefront location not

00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:02.518
even like on the third

00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:03.639
floor eighth floor through

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:05.440
an elevator storefront

00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.001
Sidewalk location, Park Ave South,

00:44:09.141 --> 00:44:09.943
very expensive.

00:44:10.503 --> 00:44:11.884
How do you make this business model work?

00:44:12.003 --> 00:44:12.684
I'm fascinated.

00:44:13.065 --> 00:44:14.346
Maybe we need to have one in the future.

00:44:14.425 --> 00:44:15.786
Can I show you how you make it work?

00:44:15.847 --> 00:44:16.806
And this wasn't planned.

00:44:16.947 --> 00:44:18.708
This is different, not the same.

00:44:18.909 --> 00:44:20.309
These guys cut the PTs out.

00:44:21.262 --> 00:44:22.423
And I commended him for it.

00:44:23.063 --> 00:44:23.985
So this is somebody I had on

00:44:24.005 --> 00:44:24.644
the show a long time.

00:44:24.684 --> 00:44:25.525
I'll bring Yanni back.

00:44:25.545 --> 00:44:26.347
That's Yanni right there.

00:44:26.367 --> 00:44:27.166
That's Yanni Corey.

00:44:27.688 --> 00:44:29.007
Yanni was a Georgetown athlete.

00:44:29.628 --> 00:44:31.349
Yanni was playing beach

00:44:31.369 --> 00:44:32.951
volleyball in California

00:44:33.090 --> 00:44:34.291
and dove in between matches

00:44:34.331 --> 00:44:35.853
to like cool off spinal cord injury.

00:44:35.932 --> 00:44:36.753
He hit a sandbar.

00:44:37.313 --> 00:44:38.255
So like prime of his life.

00:44:38.974 --> 00:44:40.637
There's Yanni right there getting swole.

00:44:41.376 --> 00:44:43.619
Yanni then went through the

00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.641
system and was like, dude,

00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:47.422
we can't afford this.

00:44:47.561 --> 00:44:48.742
Or I get neuro rehab like

00:44:49.023 --> 00:44:50.164
once a month because of

00:44:50.304 --> 00:44:51.284
whatever insurance and

00:44:51.304 --> 00:44:52.385
costs and availability.

00:44:53.085 --> 00:44:57.590
Yanni started next step, which are gyms,

00:44:57.630 --> 00:44:59.931
gym set up square footage and machines,

00:44:59.972 --> 00:45:00.833
baby and trainers.

00:45:01.333 --> 00:45:02.454
But obviously they have

00:45:02.474 --> 00:45:03.755
things like vibration plates.

00:45:03.775 --> 00:45:04.896
They have things like not so

00:45:04.936 --> 00:45:07.137
much exoskeletons, I think, but more like,

00:45:07.177 --> 00:45:08.818
like FES bikes and

00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:11.000
So a gym for people with

00:45:11.900 --> 00:45:14.101
neurologic rehabilitation.

00:45:14.121 --> 00:45:14.983
I won't even say neurologic

00:45:15.023 --> 00:45:15.963
physical therapy issues.

00:45:16.643 --> 00:45:17.503
And because Yanni was a

00:45:17.563 --> 00:45:19.264
smart dude and he's like, admittedly,

00:45:19.284 --> 00:45:20.126
he's like, I have connections.

00:45:20.146 --> 00:45:21.266
He's like, I'm a Georgetown grad.

00:45:21.326 --> 00:45:22.947
I got people with insights

00:45:22.967 --> 00:45:23.927
and connections and money.

00:45:24.547 --> 00:45:26.369
And getting this to work is

00:45:26.409 --> 00:45:27.150
still not easy.

00:45:27.469 --> 00:45:28.391
It's a brilliant idea.

00:45:29.210 --> 00:45:31.231
Yanni's goal is a gym in every major,

00:45:31.373 --> 00:45:32.373
one of these in every major

00:45:32.413 --> 00:45:35.934
city in the US and then spread.

00:45:36.436 --> 00:45:37.016
So-

00:45:38.139 --> 00:45:39.300
I want to make sure we don't

00:45:39.300 --> 00:45:40.661
– I'm not dumping on Josh, though,

00:45:40.681 --> 00:45:41.523
from walking New York.

00:45:42.923 --> 00:45:43.684
They're doing it.

00:45:43.885 --> 00:45:44.505
I want to see how.

00:45:44.605 --> 00:45:45.646
Because let's learn.

00:45:45.786 --> 00:45:47.786
Let's steal their good ideas

00:45:48.148 --> 00:45:50.670
and give it away and see how.

00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:52.110
But I think next step – this

00:45:52.150 --> 00:45:53.251
is what Yanni figured out.

00:45:53.411 --> 00:45:54.172
He went through the system.

00:45:54.472 --> 00:45:55.152
He saw that.

00:45:55.253 --> 00:45:56.132
Park Avenue South.

00:45:56.152 --> 00:45:56.733
And what's red?

00:45:56.773 --> 00:45:57.875
What's a nexus going to cost?

00:45:58.235 --> 00:45:59.755
He's like, we're never going to get this.

00:45:59.936 --> 00:46:00.717
So he starts gyms.

00:46:00.737 --> 00:46:02.018
Yeah.

00:46:04.594 --> 00:46:06.137
I don't know if I'm a fan of

00:46:06.336 --> 00:46:07.757
doing this type of, I mean,

00:46:07.838 --> 00:46:09.378
it's different if you're, so it's a gym,

00:46:09.458 --> 00:46:11.481
but a lot of the electrodes

00:46:11.501 --> 00:46:13.001
that they're using, a lot of that, I mean,

00:46:13.282 --> 00:46:14.043
they're using right here.

00:46:14.063 --> 00:46:15.425
There's two, three people.

00:46:16.005 --> 00:46:16.905
Yeah.

00:46:16.925 --> 00:46:17.346
I understand.

00:46:17.445 --> 00:46:18.047
I understand.

00:46:18.126 --> 00:46:18.246
Yeah.

00:46:18.327 --> 00:46:18.766
I understand.

00:46:18.847 --> 00:46:20.007
It's cheaper labor basically.

00:46:20.168 --> 00:46:20.369
Right.

00:46:20.469 --> 00:46:21.590
Well, they have PTs though.

00:46:22.710 --> 00:46:23.751
Come in and train the trainers.

00:46:25.065 --> 00:46:27.588
that's that's that's I mean

00:46:27.628 --> 00:46:29.409
I don't know if I don't

00:46:29.449 --> 00:46:31.632
know if I'm a fan of that I

00:46:31.652 --> 00:46:33.994
don't know well no I know I

00:46:34.034 --> 00:46:35.496
know what's what's better what's worse

00:46:36.768 --> 00:46:37.530
Trainers are smart.

00:46:37.570 --> 00:46:38.990
We're not geniuses because

00:46:39.010 --> 00:46:39.931
we have a PT degree.

00:46:40.132 --> 00:46:41.293
We know some stuff and we

00:46:41.313 --> 00:46:42.034
can teach them stuff.

00:46:42.353 --> 00:46:43.034
They only need to know how

00:46:43.054 --> 00:46:43.934
much do you need to know to

00:46:43.954 --> 00:46:46.016
get someone on an FES bike?

00:46:46.476 --> 00:46:46.597
Well,

00:46:46.757 --> 00:46:48.599
you need to know where to put those

00:46:48.619 --> 00:46:49.639
sticky electrodes for like

00:46:49.659 --> 00:46:50.900
the FES and all that.

00:46:51.021 --> 00:46:52.101
I figure I passed the test.

00:46:52.141 --> 00:46:53.242
Anybody can figure this out.

00:46:53.844 --> 00:46:54.063
Yeah.

00:46:54.103 --> 00:46:54.503
Don't hear.

00:46:54.543 --> 00:46:55.445
Hey, listen, you're an adult.

00:46:55.525 --> 00:46:56.126
Don't screw up.

00:46:56.525 --> 00:46:57.286
And there's insurance.

00:46:57.686 --> 00:46:58.206
Don't screw up.

00:46:58.286 --> 00:46:59.268
And we'll fire you if you do.

00:47:00.369 --> 00:47:00.849
I like it.

00:47:01.869 --> 00:47:02.451
It's interesting.

00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:05.561
So I'll get Yanni back on.

00:47:05.621 --> 00:47:06.601
He did a ride across America.

00:47:06.782 --> 00:47:09.103
But Tony, you can't do that type of rehab.

00:47:09.123 --> 00:47:11.184
You can't do that rehab gym online.

00:47:12.025 --> 00:47:12.945
That can't be virtual.

00:47:14.045 --> 00:47:15.027
No.

00:47:15.047 --> 00:47:16.347
Well, here's what you know about neuro.

00:47:17.688 --> 00:47:19.230
It's repetitions.

00:47:19.250 --> 00:47:19.690
That's what they know.

00:47:19.750 --> 00:47:21.090
Right.

00:47:21.150 --> 00:47:22.692
He did a ride across America.

00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:25.900
He rode essentially like a

00:47:26.021 --> 00:47:28.342
jacked up wheelchair,

00:47:28.661 --> 00:47:29.782
like an off-road wheelchair

00:47:29.862 --> 00:47:31.043
across the country to raise money.

00:47:31.103 --> 00:47:32.244
He's done this multiple times.

00:47:32.724 --> 00:47:35.925
San Francisco to like DC, wild.

00:47:36.146 --> 00:47:38.266
Yanni's like, yes.

00:47:38.726 --> 00:47:40.829
Yanni's a messed up kind of guy.

00:47:40.969 --> 00:47:41.789
I like guys like that.

00:47:42.829 --> 00:47:44.971
Where he's like, I piss a lot of PTs off.

00:47:45.050 --> 00:47:45.231
He's like,

00:47:45.251 --> 00:47:46.610
a lot of PTs will find out about us.

00:47:46.851 --> 00:47:48.632
And like, there's no PTs on staff?

00:47:48.652 --> 00:47:49.293
He goes, no, you're too,

00:47:49.313 --> 00:47:50.253
because you want a hundred

00:47:50.273 --> 00:47:51.474
and fifty thousand dollars.

00:47:54.795 --> 00:47:55.414
But also,

00:47:55.974 --> 00:47:56.894
the folks that have those

00:47:56.914 --> 00:47:57.815
neurological conditions,

00:47:57.856 --> 00:47:59.175
they have a lot of other expenses.

00:47:59.215 --> 00:48:00.195
They're trying to buy their

00:48:00.215 --> 00:48:01.336
own FES bikes at home, whatever.

00:48:01.516 --> 00:48:02.577
And they probably can't

00:48:02.597 --> 00:48:03.876
afford the one-on-one visits.

00:48:03.896 --> 00:48:05.197
The insurance won't pay for it.

00:48:05.297 --> 00:48:05.777
Exactly.

00:48:06.117 --> 00:48:08.978
The insurance is like, I'm out.

00:48:09.059 --> 00:48:10.139
You could cut different parts of it.

00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:11.039
They cut the therapist out.

00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:11.579
It's interesting.

00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:12.000
Correct.

00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:12.579
Yeah, they cut.

00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:14.541
We just said the overhead.

00:48:14.581 --> 00:48:15.621
They cut the most expensive part.

00:48:15.721 --> 00:48:17.001
You can't do that.

00:48:17.021 --> 00:48:17.461
They did.

00:48:17.621 --> 00:48:18.842
They said, fuck you, I will.

00:48:18.902 --> 00:48:19.442
And they did.

00:48:20.302 --> 00:48:21.623
And you know who cares?

00:48:22.443 --> 00:48:23.903
PTs are griping about it.

00:48:24.585 --> 00:48:25.804
And I'm saying, look at that.

00:48:25.905 --> 00:48:26.766
Look at the face of the

00:48:26.806 --> 00:48:28.146
person who's working out right now.

00:48:28.507 --> 00:48:29.507
They look pretty damn happy.

00:48:29.907 --> 00:48:30.628
And what does that do for

00:48:30.809 --> 00:48:31.728
their entire life and their

00:48:31.748 --> 00:48:32.530
entire solar system?

00:48:33.010 --> 00:48:34.891
It shouldn't be that way, but it is.

00:48:35.052 --> 00:48:36.072
That's where Yanni's like, fine,

00:48:36.112 --> 00:48:37.032
if you're not building it with me,

00:48:37.132 --> 00:48:37.934
I'll build it myself.

00:48:38.193 --> 00:48:39.355
I love stuff like that.

00:48:39.655 --> 00:48:40.094
He's awesome.

00:48:40.856 --> 00:48:41.376
All right.

00:48:41.396 --> 00:48:42.036
What else is on the list?

00:48:42.077 --> 00:48:43.958
We have twelve minutes.

00:48:46.253 --> 00:48:47.193
You're up.

00:48:47.233 --> 00:48:47.833
Let's see.

00:48:47.873 --> 00:48:51.056
Do you want to... You're up or you are up?

00:48:51.436 --> 00:48:52.376
Oh, I was like, you're up.

00:48:52.556 --> 00:48:53.217
We're going across.

00:48:53.257 --> 00:48:54.699
How about this?

00:48:54.798 --> 00:48:56.519
I sent you the... We either

00:48:56.539 --> 00:48:57.740
got the Bo thing or your

00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.342
LinkedIn post about the...

00:49:02.224 --> 00:49:04.125
What do you do in your

00:49:04.144 --> 00:49:04.885
workplace to foster

00:49:04.965 --> 00:49:05.786
excellence across your team?

00:49:05.806 --> 00:49:06.465
You want to do that or you

00:49:06.485 --> 00:49:07.166
want to do the Bo thing?

00:49:07.567 --> 00:49:08.166
Talk about Bo.

00:49:08.246 --> 00:49:08.947
I'll go find the other

00:49:08.987 --> 00:49:09.907
LinkedIn post so we have it.

00:49:10.409 --> 00:49:11.429
So start talking about Bo.

00:49:11.449 --> 00:49:12.309
I'll go click around to find

00:49:12.349 --> 00:49:13.251
my LinkedIn post that we're

00:49:13.291 --> 00:49:13.811
going to talk about.

00:49:14.081 --> 00:49:15.362
All right, this is a physical therapist,

00:49:15.402 --> 00:49:16.463
Dr. Boba Banco.

00:49:16.724 --> 00:49:18.585
I screenshotted his LinkedIn post.

00:49:18.666 --> 00:49:19.967
I'm sorry, this is the Instagram post.

00:49:20.708 --> 00:49:21.768
And it's got a QR code.

00:49:21.789 --> 00:49:22.849
It says movement assessment,

00:49:22.869 --> 00:49:23.469
one hundred ninety nine

00:49:23.510 --> 00:49:24.891
dollars with his phone number,

00:49:25.291 --> 00:49:27.333
his email address and his website.

00:49:28.094 --> 00:49:32.257
And Bo put in the caption targeting.

00:49:33.449 --> 00:49:34.130
targeting an older

00:49:34.150 --> 00:49:35.271
population for movement

00:49:35.311 --> 00:49:36.911
assessment in in person or

00:49:36.971 --> 00:49:40.072
virtually any thoughts, colors, spacing,

00:49:40.152 --> 00:49:40.612
etc.

00:49:40.672 --> 00:49:43.293
So, so Bo is a good friend of mine.

00:49:43.673 --> 00:49:43.994
I love it.

00:49:44.074 --> 00:49:44.253
He's,

00:49:44.554 --> 00:49:45.974
he's posting this out there that that

00:49:46.014 --> 00:49:46.835
prospective patients might

00:49:46.875 --> 00:49:47.775
actually see anyway.

00:49:48.335 --> 00:49:50.695
But he's asking for help on

00:49:50.755 --> 00:49:51.936
designing this or our

00:49:51.976 --> 00:49:53.197
thoughts on this type of a

00:49:53.396 --> 00:49:55.338
banner flyer for this offer.

00:49:56.800 --> 00:49:58.360
All right.

00:49:58.681 --> 00:49:59.442
I'm stuck.

00:49:59.702 --> 00:50:01.925
And this is probably a longer, we should,

00:50:02.304 --> 00:50:03.126
I feel like an entire

00:50:03.186 --> 00:50:04.306
episode or a chunk of one

00:50:04.327 --> 00:50:05.068
in the future should be

00:50:05.728 --> 00:50:07.789
taking phrases that PTs use

00:50:08.190 --> 00:50:09.150
and using better one.

00:50:09.452 --> 00:50:11.574
Because a movement assessment, I don't,

00:50:12.393 --> 00:50:13.155
I understand what you're

00:50:13.175 --> 00:50:14.135
saying because I'm a PT.

00:50:14.635 --> 00:50:15.898
I'm worried that people are like,

00:50:17.478 --> 00:50:18.440
I'm not a dancer.

00:50:18.539 --> 00:50:19.360
I don't know what a movement

00:50:19.380 --> 00:50:20.181
assessment is.

00:50:21.293 --> 00:50:23.275
Like Shirley Sarman in the movement system,

00:50:24.114 --> 00:50:26.376
I don't know, words matter, dude.

00:50:26.596 --> 00:50:26.936
So like,

00:50:27.255 --> 00:50:29.016
that's why I'm like not making fun of Bo.

00:50:29.416 --> 00:50:30.938
I think Bo is using phrases

00:50:30.958 --> 00:50:32.137
that others have used.

00:50:33.298 --> 00:50:34.518
I'm trying to figure out

00:50:34.838 --> 00:50:35.980
what a movement assessment is.

00:50:36.019 --> 00:50:37.561
If I'm even a PT,

00:50:37.601 --> 00:50:39.842
is that a physical therapy assessment?

00:50:39.882 --> 00:50:41.202
Is that a treatment or

00:50:41.222 --> 00:50:41.722
something different?

00:50:42.181 --> 00:50:43.163
And I think in the public

00:50:43.302 --> 00:50:45.704
that is confusing.

00:50:47.047 --> 00:50:47.568
Yeah, I mean,

00:50:47.608 --> 00:50:49.208
maybe we should hold this for

00:50:49.309 --> 00:50:51.690
a longer episode.

00:50:52.090 --> 00:50:53.550
So your dad had a stroke, right?

00:50:54.331 --> 00:50:55.150
Would he say,

00:50:55.451 --> 00:50:56.411
I need a movement assessment

00:50:56.452 --> 00:50:57.452
or I want a movement assessment?

00:50:57.512 --> 00:50:58.193
Or would he say,

00:50:58.813 --> 00:51:01.733
I want a balance better

00:51:01.773 --> 00:51:04.074
plan or a walk better plan?

00:51:05.614 --> 00:51:06.795
fix me fix my fix my walking

00:51:07.275 --> 00:51:08.735
like well yeah like and and

00:51:08.755 --> 00:51:09.476
that's that's the thing

00:51:09.556 --> 00:51:10.295
I've had I've had

00:51:10.315 --> 00:51:12.556
therapists um get mad at me

00:51:12.717 --> 00:51:13.896
and write to me because of

00:51:13.956 --> 00:51:15.436
stuff on my website around

00:51:15.476 --> 00:51:16.797
like find the root cause of

00:51:16.856 --> 00:51:17.958
pain fix the root cause of

00:51:17.978 --> 00:51:20.038
pain or like you know the

00:51:20.057 --> 00:51:21.617
word fix and you know oh

00:51:21.637 --> 00:51:22.679
well you can't fix humans

00:51:22.699 --> 00:51:23.798
we're not we're not cars

00:51:23.818 --> 00:51:24.259
you know we're not

00:51:24.278 --> 00:51:26.579
mechanics we're not broken

00:51:26.858 --> 00:51:29.420
but that person feels something is broken

00:51:30.219 --> 00:51:31.320
I just, I, you,

00:51:31.481 --> 00:51:34.422
I want to use my target customers.

00:51:34.661 --> 00:51:34.782
Words.

00:51:34.862 --> 00:51:37.324
I agree.

00:51:37.344 --> 00:51:37.903
Like Google ads.

00:51:37.923 --> 00:51:38.864
I spent a ton of money on

00:51:38.943 --> 00:51:41.405
and back in twenty sixteen,

00:51:41.425 --> 00:51:42.045
twenty seventeen,

00:51:42.085 --> 00:51:42.786
like when I first started

00:51:42.806 --> 00:51:44.467
doing home visits and they were like, oh,

00:51:44.487 --> 00:51:45.608
yeah, we found you guys on Google.

00:51:45.648 --> 00:51:46.927
And it was like, oh, cool.

00:51:46.967 --> 00:51:47.789
Like what?

00:51:47.829 --> 00:51:49.128
Like what did you type into Google?

00:51:49.449 --> 00:51:49.829
It was, you know,

00:51:49.869 --> 00:51:50.909
it was just like a couple of days ago.

00:51:50.949 --> 00:51:51.150
Right.

00:51:51.489 --> 00:51:51.670
Yeah.

00:51:51.731 --> 00:51:52.110
Reversing.

00:51:52.130 --> 00:51:52.490
They're like.

00:51:52.963 --> 00:51:54.164
in home physical therapy or

00:51:54.224 --> 00:51:55.184
home physical therapy,

00:51:55.244 --> 00:51:58.487
Manhattan or home PT in NYC, whatever.

00:51:58.746 --> 00:52:00.307
So I was like, Oh, all right.

00:52:00.327 --> 00:52:02.489
So like just use those and

00:52:02.949 --> 00:52:03.949
have run a ton of money

00:52:03.969 --> 00:52:05.731
through them to make even more money.

00:52:06.291 --> 00:52:07.552
That's what they Google.

00:52:07.693 --> 00:52:09.893
But when they see concierge pain relief,

00:52:09.934 --> 00:52:11.315
they go, Oh yeah, that's what I meant.

00:52:11.514 --> 00:52:11.815
So it's,

00:52:11.875 --> 00:52:14.637
it is this wide net to a narrow funnel.

00:52:15.456 --> 00:52:16.036
They don't have to

00:52:16.056 --> 00:52:17.757
necessarily Google concierge pain relief,

00:52:17.777 --> 00:52:18.518
but when they see it.

00:52:18.739 --> 00:52:20.400
So if we took that parallel and,

00:52:21.681 --> 00:52:24.965
fix, help after stroke,

00:52:25.405 --> 00:52:26.547
and then you see something,

00:52:26.586 --> 00:52:27.608
what's the next thing?

00:52:27.628 --> 00:52:28.690
I don't know if a movement

00:52:28.730 --> 00:52:29.951
assessment does it,

00:52:30.764 --> 00:52:31.704
That tells me what you're

00:52:31.744 --> 00:52:32.905
doing as the therapist.

00:52:33.385 --> 00:52:35.067
It's not, it's not, uh,

00:52:35.086 --> 00:52:36.407
so Bo works with a lot of

00:52:36.467 --> 00:52:37.467
like active folks.

00:52:38.007 --> 00:52:41.170
So I would say each post or

00:52:41.650 --> 00:52:42.769
digital flyer or whatever

00:52:43.150 --> 00:52:45.110
should be calling out each,

00:52:45.170 --> 00:52:46.652
like a specific person or

00:52:46.672 --> 00:52:47.733
whatever their main issue is.

00:52:47.773 --> 00:52:50.233
So if it's, if it's crossfitters,

00:52:50.733 --> 00:52:52.275
it's either like low back or shoulder.

00:52:52.855 --> 00:52:54.235
So it's either low back pain or shoulder.

00:52:54.275 --> 00:52:57.677
Maybe you have one flyer that's like, uh,

00:52:57.697 --> 00:52:59.637
so hundred ninety nine dollars, uh,

00:53:01.422 --> 00:53:06.126
shoulder uh shoulder tune up

00:53:06.547 --> 00:53:07.387
for crossfitters or

00:53:07.447 --> 00:53:08.788
crossfit shoulder tune up

00:53:09.228 --> 00:53:11.230
or assessment or whatever

00:53:11.250 --> 00:53:11.989
but I don't mind by

00:53:12.030 --> 00:53:13.451
crossfit and the condition

00:53:14.012 --> 00:53:15.652
yeah crossfit tells it

00:53:15.672 --> 00:53:17.434
that's your who because if

00:53:17.454 --> 00:53:18.275
you're a golfer you're like

00:53:18.295 --> 00:53:19.356
I don't need this guy right

00:53:19.416 --> 00:53:20.155
unless he says golfer

00:53:20.675 --> 00:53:22.217
crossfit tune up yeah I

00:53:22.237 --> 00:53:25.119
sort of need it because I

00:53:25.139 --> 00:53:25.940
was stuck on movement

00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:27.161
assessment as the drill and

00:53:27.181 --> 00:53:28.121
would talk people that sell

00:53:28.141 --> 00:53:29.623
the hole in the wall don't sell the drill

00:53:30.657 --> 00:53:32.759
And this is selling the drill, yeah.

00:53:32.798 --> 00:53:33.579
But the funny part is

00:53:33.619 --> 00:53:35.521
CrossFit tune-up is selling the drill too,

00:53:35.541 --> 00:53:37.181
but for me that makes – I

00:53:37.242 --> 00:53:38.943
like that more because I

00:53:38.963 --> 00:53:40.523
can picture what I get out of a tune-up.

00:53:40.784 --> 00:53:41.405
I don't know what I get out

00:53:41.445 --> 00:53:42.125
of an assessment.

00:53:42.445 --> 00:53:44.487
Like a tune-up, broken, then fixed.

00:53:44.626 --> 00:53:46.608
So, yeah, that does sound – never mind.

00:53:47.407 --> 00:53:48.588
I know we're talking about the tune-up,

00:53:48.628 --> 00:53:49.550
which is the process,

00:53:49.949 --> 00:53:51.210
but I know when I get tuned up,

00:53:51.570 --> 00:53:53.132
the car runs better, and that's my goal.

00:53:53.152 --> 00:53:53.811
So I see it.

00:53:53.851 --> 00:53:55.393
I think it's a shorter distance to –

00:53:56.914 --> 00:53:57.074
Like,

00:53:57.153 --> 00:54:00.096
don't create chasms in your messaging

00:54:00.255 --> 00:54:01.217
that are so wide that

00:54:01.237 --> 00:54:01.797
someone's going to need to

00:54:01.817 --> 00:54:02.898
do mental gymnastics and

00:54:02.938 --> 00:54:03.918
burn a lot of calories.

00:54:04.318 --> 00:54:04.958
That's what I think the

00:54:04.998 --> 00:54:06.219
problem with movement assessment is.

00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:07.179
Then what?

00:54:07.380 --> 00:54:08.920
Well, then we put together a plan.

00:54:09.342 --> 00:54:09.862
That's too big.

00:54:10.001 --> 00:54:11.003
So then sell the plan.

00:54:12.623 --> 00:54:13.344
They'll tell you all the time,

00:54:13.384 --> 00:54:14.025
three steps.

00:54:14.545 --> 00:54:16.405
Come to bow.

00:54:16.445 --> 00:54:17.626
Get assessed.

00:54:19.112 --> 00:54:19.793
run through a brick wall.

00:54:19.873 --> 00:54:21.193
Like you need to like do it in,

00:54:21.213 --> 00:54:22.634
if you can do it in two steps,

00:54:23.514 --> 00:54:24.554
like be like Bo.

00:54:24.835 --> 00:54:26.675
How Bo doesn't use, he did for a while.

00:54:26.735 --> 00:54:28.315
He needs to use more Bo knows.

00:54:28.376 --> 00:54:29.657
Cause if he's aiming at older adults,

00:54:29.717 --> 00:54:31.538
they- Oh, he was using Bo,

00:54:31.777 --> 00:54:32.838
he has been for years.

00:54:32.858 --> 00:54:33.617
It's a podcast.

00:54:33.637 --> 00:54:35.478
Podcast, Bo knows this, Bo knows.

00:54:35.518 --> 00:54:36.420
And it was such a great idea

00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:39.021
because Bo knows would stay the same.

00:54:39.061 --> 00:54:41.201
He's like Bo knows neuro rehab,

00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:43.181
Bo knows CrossFit, Bo knows that.

00:54:43.802 --> 00:54:45.182
I mean, if your name is Bo,

00:54:46.530 --> 00:54:46.989
You do that.

00:54:47.010 --> 00:54:48.672
All right, I found my post.

00:54:49.572 --> 00:54:50.512
Let me get this off the screen.

00:54:50.713 --> 00:54:54.215
My post, let me zoom these in here.

00:54:54.315 --> 00:54:54.916
It's on LinkedIn.

00:54:55.315 --> 00:54:57.958
Yeah, so I took a crazy statement.

00:54:58.038 --> 00:54:58.759
We talked about how you

00:54:58.798 --> 00:54:59.980
write viral tweets and stuff.

00:55:00.460 --> 00:55:01.681
And I took a crazy statement.

00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:03.101
Mediocrity in healthcare is

00:55:03.121 --> 00:55:04.182
something we should just accept.

00:55:04.302 --> 00:55:05.884
And of course, what?

00:55:05.983 --> 00:55:07.905
We could never accept mediocrity.

00:55:08.666 --> 00:55:09.766
And then I go on to say,

00:55:10.146 --> 00:55:11.248
we didn't go through years of schools,

00:55:11.288 --> 00:55:11.588
clinics,

00:55:11.608 --> 00:55:12.507
and sleepless nights just to

00:55:12.548 --> 00:55:13.248
punch a clock.

00:55:13.608 --> 00:55:14.369
And yet-

00:55:15.376 --> 00:55:16.195
Patients still walk away

00:55:16.215 --> 00:55:17.135
disappointed with their care.

00:55:17.376 --> 00:55:17.717
Why?

00:55:18.657 --> 00:55:20.056
And instead of blaming the patients, I say,

00:55:20.077 --> 00:55:20.916
here's the real question.

00:55:20.956 --> 00:55:21.737
If you're a provider who

00:55:21.777 --> 00:55:23.197
refuses to settle for average,

00:55:23.858 --> 00:55:25.418
but what do you do actively

00:55:25.458 --> 00:55:27.358
to raise the bar, not just for you,

00:55:27.398 --> 00:55:28.778
but for your whole team?

00:55:29.458 --> 00:55:30.880
And then I use the LinkedIn poll.

00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:33.019
And for the podcast audience,

00:55:33.099 --> 00:55:34.380
I had four options.

00:55:34.460 --> 00:55:36.880
Lead by example, celebrate great care,

00:55:37.260 --> 00:55:38.481
mentor and teach peers,

00:55:38.961 --> 00:55:40.262
set up and uphold standards.

00:55:41.217 --> 00:55:43.719
And I'll give the results or I'll give the,

00:55:43.858 --> 00:55:45.179
there's four days left in the polls.

00:55:45.980 --> 00:55:48.260
It's pretty evenly split.

00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:48.800
Right now,

00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:50.621
it's pretty evenly split between three.

00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:52.882
Lead, mentor, and uphold standards.

00:55:52.902 --> 00:55:54.682
So lead by example, mentor, peers,

00:55:55.143 --> 00:55:55.802
set and uphold standards.

00:55:56.242 --> 00:55:58.063
Celebrate great care is at four percent.

00:55:59.144 --> 00:56:00.425
So it looks like you

00:56:00.465 --> 00:56:01.666
selected lead by example,

00:56:01.847 --> 00:56:02.766
like that was your answer.

00:56:03.327 --> 00:56:04.648
I think so, yeah.

00:56:04.807 --> 00:56:05.248
So for me,

00:56:05.389 --> 00:56:07.369
I selected set and uphold standards.

00:56:07.409 --> 00:56:09.811
If I had to pick one, lead by example,

00:56:09.871 --> 00:56:11.032
of course it makes sense, but

00:56:12.125 --> 00:56:13.306
like are there there's a

00:56:13.626 --> 00:56:14.447
there's a therapist in the

00:56:14.487 --> 00:56:15.829
clinic there's a the clinic

00:56:15.849 --> 00:56:17.110
director like they lead by

00:56:17.150 --> 00:56:19.193
example but for each of the

00:56:19.233 --> 00:56:20.614
therapists like they they

00:56:20.635 --> 00:56:22.036
don't their onus is not on

00:56:22.056 --> 00:56:23.717
them to follow that like

00:56:23.737 --> 00:56:24.438
they're just they might

00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:25.599
look at it they might be

00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:27.181
like yeah that's the leader

00:56:27.543 --> 00:56:29.244
or whatever but the owner

00:56:29.364 --> 00:56:30.826
the clinic director the manager whatever

00:56:31.626 --> 00:56:32.507
has to be setting and

00:56:32.547 --> 00:56:33.588
upholding the standards

00:56:33.608 --> 00:56:34.628
because that's like okay

00:56:34.688 --> 00:56:36.210
jimmy like like person by

00:56:36.230 --> 00:56:37.070
person therapist by

00:56:37.110 --> 00:56:38.190
therapist staff member by

00:56:38.231 --> 00:56:39.530
staff member here's your

00:56:39.550 --> 00:56:40.552
roles and responsibilities

00:56:40.851 --> 00:56:42.152
here's your role scorecard

00:56:42.273 --> 00:56:42.913
here's how you're gonna be

00:56:42.952 --> 00:56:44.474
assessed here like when you

00:56:44.514 --> 00:56:45.534
come to ask for more money

00:56:45.594 --> 00:56:46.474
or like a pay raise or

00:56:46.494 --> 00:56:47.396
whatever we're gonna look

00:56:47.456 --> 00:56:49.016
at your money we're gonna

00:56:49.036 --> 00:56:50.197
look at like you know your

00:56:50.436 --> 00:56:51.677
patient satisfaction scores

00:56:51.717 --> 00:56:52.818
your google reviews like

00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:54.539
Here is how we're going to

00:56:54.619 --> 00:56:55.840
set and uphold standards.

00:56:56.019 --> 00:56:57.280
And here's how we're going

00:56:57.300 --> 00:56:58.119
to keep you accountable.

00:56:58.460 --> 00:57:00.021
And here's the weekly calls

00:57:00.081 --> 00:57:00.800
or meetings or whatever.

00:57:00.820 --> 00:57:01.581
We're going to check in with

00:57:01.601 --> 00:57:04.882
you over time to make sure, Hey, are you,

00:57:05.101 --> 00:57:07.643
are you, cause upfront it's the manager,

00:57:07.663 --> 00:57:08.402
the owners to,

00:57:08.563 --> 00:57:09.463
it's the responsibility to

00:57:09.603 --> 00:57:10.862
set the standards and then

00:57:11.003 --> 00:57:12.224
uphold them over time.

00:57:12.264 --> 00:57:13.123
Like here's how we're going

00:57:13.143 --> 00:57:14.403
to keep you accountable to

00:57:14.543 --> 00:57:15.585
these standards over time.

00:57:16.085 --> 00:57:18.324
So that's why I selected

00:57:18.405 --> 00:57:19.266
that as the response.

00:57:20.085 --> 00:57:20.746
I changed my answer.

00:57:21.530 --> 00:57:22.490
You can do that on a LinkedIn poll.

00:57:22.510 --> 00:57:24.652
I hit undo and I changed my answer.

00:57:24.994 --> 00:57:25.894
Well, I brought this up.

00:57:25.914 --> 00:57:26.695
No one saw it.

00:57:26.795 --> 00:57:27.255
That's okay.

00:57:27.376 --> 00:57:27.496
No,

00:57:27.516 --> 00:57:29.137
but changing your answer is not a sign

00:57:29.157 --> 00:57:29.498
of weakness.

00:57:29.518 --> 00:57:29.898
It's a sign of

00:57:31.467 --> 00:57:33.289
strength in my opinion so

00:57:33.329 --> 00:57:34.170
what you made me think of

00:57:34.190 --> 00:57:35.110
was that line that I talked

00:57:35.130 --> 00:57:35.731
about the other day from

00:57:35.791 --> 00:57:37.052
adam grant what he says is

00:57:37.072 --> 00:57:37.911
the nineteen words you have

00:57:37.931 --> 00:57:38.753
to say before you give some

00:57:38.773 --> 00:57:39.672
feedback I'm giving you

00:57:39.693 --> 00:57:40.454
these comments because I

00:57:40.474 --> 00:57:41.393
have high expectations

00:57:41.673 --> 00:57:42.315
sorry very high

00:57:42.335 --> 00:57:43.416
expectations and I'm

00:57:43.456 --> 00:57:44.356
confident you can reach

00:57:44.396 --> 00:57:46.117
them but jimmy you've been

00:57:46.157 --> 00:57:47.597
doing this let's let's so

00:57:47.637 --> 00:57:49.139
that is I think setting and

00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:50.539
upholding standings might

00:57:50.659 --> 00:57:52.420
also be leading by example

00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:53.342
because if you set and

00:57:53.402 --> 00:57:56.344
uphold you're showing I

00:57:56.384 --> 00:57:57.204
picked lead by example

00:57:57.264 --> 00:57:57.905
first because I thought it

00:57:57.925 --> 00:57:59.246
was show not tell

00:58:03.710 --> 00:58:04.811
And to reinforce it,

00:58:04.871 --> 00:58:06.693
it's like lead by example is great,

00:58:06.992 --> 00:58:08.574
but it's like, it's like vague.

00:58:08.675 --> 00:58:09.255
Like there's,

00:58:09.295 --> 00:58:10.177
there's nothing in like a

00:58:10.237 --> 00:58:10.876
standard operating

00:58:10.938 --> 00:58:12.378
procedure where you can be like, you know,

00:58:12.699 --> 00:58:14.902
like they lead by example is subjective.

00:58:15.322 --> 00:58:17.764
Set and uphold standards is objective.

00:58:17.784 --> 00:58:19.346
You either did it or you didn't do it.

00:58:19.686 --> 00:58:20.166
Got it.

00:58:20.246 --> 00:58:20.728
Okay.

00:58:20.807 --> 00:58:21.449
I changed my answer.

00:58:22.914 --> 00:58:23.896
All the other stuff is great, too.

00:58:23.936 --> 00:58:24.056
Like,

00:58:24.096 --> 00:58:26.077
they need to be mentored and taught

00:58:26.137 --> 00:58:27.639
and trained and coached along the way.

00:58:27.659 --> 00:58:28.219
That's important.

00:58:28.759 --> 00:58:30.880
And then celebrating great care, like, oh,

00:58:30.940 --> 00:58:31.762
like, you know,

00:58:31.782 --> 00:58:32.822
we have a team meeting and, like,

00:58:33.043 --> 00:58:33.242
you know,

00:58:33.282 --> 00:58:34.903
Jimmy wrote a Google review about,

00:58:35.244 --> 00:58:36.405
you know, Dr. Tommy.

00:58:36.684 --> 00:58:36.826
Like,

00:58:37.346 --> 00:58:38.806
let's read that Google review out loud.

00:58:38.847 --> 00:58:41.608
Like, let's, as we're talking, like,

00:58:41.688 --> 00:58:42.108
as a team.

00:58:42.909 --> 00:58:43.690
let's read some of these

00:58:43.710 --> 00:58:44.911
google reviews let's read

00:58:44.931 --> 00:58:45.974
some of these comments let

00:58:46.313 --> 00:58:47.896
oh mary you know sent us a

00:58:48.235 --> 00:58:49.416
handwritten thank you note

00:58:49.436 --> 00:58:50.358
or a card like let's read

00:58:50.378 --> 00:58:51.139
that out let's show let's

00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:52.360
pass that around yes you

00:58:52.380 --> 00:58:53.181
want to celebrate great

00:58:53.202 --> 00:58:54.722
care and the experience if

00:58:54.742 --> 00:58:55.664
you could only do one

00:58:56.144 --> 00:58:56.885
setting up whole standards

00:58:57.527 --> 00:58:58.447
because they're repeatable

00:58:58.788 --> 00:59:00.429
no doubt and measurable and

00:59:00.449 --> 00:59:01.911
what gets repeatable and measurable

00:59:02.704 --> 00:59:03.224
Amen.

00:59:03.244 --> 00:59:03.766
All right.

00:59:03.826 --> 00:59:04.405
Sixty seconds.

00:59:04.666 --> 00:59:05.586
This is good timing.

00:59:06.086 --> 00:59:07.387
Parting shot.

00:59:07.509 --> 00:59:08.668
We are crisp today.

00:59:08.708 --> 00:59:09.349
We are crisp.

00:59:10.990 --> 00:59:11.811
Parting shots.

00:59:12.431 --> 00:59:15.393
Let's go back to the Greg Todd thing.

00:59:16.155 --> 00:59:16.996
I didn't say it earlier if

00:59:17.056 --> 00:59:17.795
it was not clear.

00:59:17.815 --> 00:59:19.277
A hundred percent agree with him.

00:59:20.157 --> 00:59:20.878
I don't know if I have

00:59:20.898 --> 00:59:22.480
enough information to say

00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:23.699
that they're overpaid,

00:59:24.181 --> 00:59:25.181
but I do feel like there's

00:59:25.242 --> 00:59:26.583
some amount of entitlement there.

00:59:27.023 --> 00:59:28.043
And the parting shot would

00:59:28.083 --> 00:59:30.565
be if you want to be paid more,

00:59:31.425 --> 00:59:34.626
You have to think of ways.

00:59:34.666 --> 00:59:36.467
You bring ways to the table.

00:59:36.487 --> 00:59:37.407
You bring ideas.

00:59:38.007 --> 00:59:38.849
Here's a game plan.

00:59:38.889 --> 00:59:39.748
Here's a strategy.

00:59:39.768 --> 00:59:40.708
Should I test this out?

00:59:40.728 --> 00:59:41.949
Should I go do this on my own time,

00:59:41.969 --> 00:59:43.769
whatever, at nights, weekends, whatever?

00:59:44.411 --> 00:59:46.731
How can I bring more value

00:59:46.911 --> 00:59:47.731
to the practice?

00:59:48.271 --> 00:59:49.952
Can I bring more patience, more revenue,

00:59:50.012 --> 00:59:50.992
more partnerships, whatever?

00:59:52.070 --> 00:59:53.391
physical therapists out there watching,

00:59:53.452 --> 00:59:54.612
if you're listening, watching,

00:59:56.012 --> 00:59:56.452
think of that,

00:59:56.552 --> 00:59:57.994
bring that stuff to the table.

00:59:58.333 --> 00:59:59.795
Don't say like you're in

00:59:59.815 --> 01:00:01.076
this in-network model where

01:00:01.175 --> 01:00:01.916
everything is capped,

01:00:02.215 --> 01:00:05.737
so there's no more meat on

01:00:05.777 --> 01:00:06.277
the bone there.

01:00:06.797 --> 01:00:07.998
You gotta go find meat somewhere else.

01:00:08.018 --> 01:00:09.639
The meat is at the gym,

01:00:10.500 --> 01:00:12.581
it's at the running shoe store,

01:00:12.661 --> 01:00:14.822
it's at the library maybe, I don't know,

01:00:14.842 --> 01:00:16.242
the CrossFit gym, wherever it is,

01:00:16.563 --> 01:00:18.623
at the coffee shops, the yoga studios,

01:00:18.643 --> 01:00:19.264
the Pilates,

01:00:20.045 --> 01:00:21.206
other business owners in the area.

01:00:21.965 --> 01:00:23.126
How can you help the

01:00:23.146 --> 01:00:25.166
practice owner transfer

01:00:25.186 --> 01:00:26.027
some of that value?

01:00:26.847 --> 01:00:27.527
And then they should

01:00:27.628 --> 01:00:29.289
absolutely be open to

01:00:29.349 --> 01:00:32.411
giving you a bigger slice of that pie.

01:00:32.931 --> 01:00:35.431
My parting shot will be Jerry Maguire,

01:00:35.472 --> 01:00:35.791
right?

01:00:35.952 --> 01:00:37.213
Help me help you.

01:00:37.592 --> 01:00:39.574
Help me help you.

01:00:39.733 --> 01:00:40.574
Should be your mindset.

01:00:41.054 --> 01:00:43.534
Be the agent in Jerry Maguire.

01:00:43.655 --> 01:00:44.835
Be the partnership guy.

01:00:45.496 --> 01:00:46.496
When you lead with that,

01:00:46.516 --> 01:00:48.777
look at Alex from my event last night.

01:00:49.338 --> 01:00:49.637
Dude's like,

01:00:49.657 --> 01:00:50.557
I'm going to create a space

01:00:50.577 --> 01:00:51.619
for others to succeed.

01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:53.998
And then Alex gets to ride that wave.

01:00:54.378 --> 01:00:55.559
Like, dude's a smart guy.

01:00:56.119 --> 01:00:57.019
And then every once in a while,

01:00:57.059 --> 01:00:57.860
my final parting shot,

01:00:57.880 --> 01:00:58.559
we'll speak for Tony's.

01:00:58.619 --> 01:01:01.581
Every once in a while, unplug, do nothing,

01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:02.400
be on a lake,

01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:04.981
and be comfortable wearing Crocs.

01:01:05.681 --> 01:01:06.782
We'll see you guys on Tuesday.

01:01:06.862 --> 01:01:08.222
Follow Learn Medicare Billing,

01:01:08.362 --> 01:01:11.083
Dave Kittle Show, and PT Podcast.

01:01:11.623 --> 01:01:13.603
And maybe we'll come to New York.

01:01:13.722 --> 01:01:14.443
You want to come to the next

01:01:14.503 --> 01:01:14.824
event with me?

01:01:14.844 --> 01:01:15.483
It's going to be in New York.

01:01:16.501 --> 01:01:17.141
In the city, yeah.

01:01:17.181 --> 01:01:17.461
Let's do it.

01:01:17.481 --> 01:01:17.822
In the city.

01:01:18.023 --> 01:01:18.342
We'll do it.

01:01:18.362 --> 01:01:18.623
All right.

01:01:18.663 --> 01:01:19.402
Anybody else want to come?
