The Best Conversations Happen At Happy Hour, Welcome to Ours!
Oct. 5, 2026

If Physical Therapy Is for Everyone, Who Are You Actually Talking To?

If Physical Therapy Is for Everyone, Who Are You Actually Talking To?

Physical therapy is for everyone.

But if your marketing is for everyone, who exactly are you talking to?

On the first day of Physical Therapy Month, Jimmy McKay, Tony Meritato and Dave Kittle dig into APTA’s public-facing messaging, “PT for future me,” the role of professional associations, and one of the biggest communication problems in physical therapy:

We keep trying to say everything at once.

The episode explores the difference between representing the entire profession and creating communication that actually resonates with an individual person.

Jimmy argues that broad messaging often becomes bland messaging. Tony and Dave push into what APTA membership should actually provide, whether professional associations should offer more structure and accountability, and why peer-to-peer groups may create more tangible value than another webpage full of resources.

Then the conversation turns practical.

Tony shares recent social media numbers and explains what kinds of images are generating hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. Dave breaks down how he turned a simple comment into a reaction video in minutes. Jimmy explains why most clinicians already have a massive content library sitting on their phones.

And eventually the conversation lands on the biggest obstacle:

Fear.

Fear of looking stupid.

Fear of being criticized by another clinician.

Fear of posting something that flops.

Fear that the work won’t be worth the effort.

The technology is already available.

The barrier may simply be hitting publish.

KEY THEMES:

• Physical Therapy Month

00:00:24.771 --> 00:00:25.733
what does that mean

00:00:26.923 --> 00:00:27.885
You know what we call that in

00:00:27.905 --> 00:00:30.065
communications is a hashtag holiday.

00:00:30.946 --> 00:00:33.286
And it's cute.

00:00:34.228 --> 00:00:36.668
I'm going to Tony Meritato this.

00:00:36.709 --> 00:00:38.850
What's the point?

00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:40.591
Good question.

00:00:40.831 --> 00:00:42.271
I did a little research because I had

00:00:42.311 --> 00:00:43.491
completely forgotten.

00:00:43.853 --> 00:00:45.792
Of course you do.

00:00:45.853 --> 00:00:47.274
Which is telling, right?

00:00:50.276 --> 00:00:51.615
I'm not surprised you did the research.

00:00:51.636 --> 00:00:52.296
That's what I mean.

00:00:52.737 --> 00:00:52.957
Yeah.

00:00:53.874 --> 00:00:54.014
Well,

00:00:54.134 --> 00:00:56.857
one of the things that ChatGPT said is

00:00:57.298 --> 00:01:01.604
APTA is continuing the PT for future me.

00:01:02.106 --> 00:01:03.887
PT for future me.

00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:06.231
Which look,

00:01:06.531 --> 00:01:07.894
as much as we want to make fun

00:01:07.933 --> 00:01:08.394
and poke,

00:01:09.305 --> 00:01:11.087
i like the idea what i want to

00:01:11.126 --> 00:01:14.349
hear from you guys is is this moving

00:01:14.469 --> 00:01:16.990
us away from what physical therapy has

00:01:17.051 --> 00:01:20.033
always been is this moving us away from

00:01:20.112 --> 00:01:22.435
what physical therapist was originally

00:01:22.474 --> 00:01:26.498
designed to be we were rehab we were

00:01:26.737 --> 00:01:29.500
fixing a problem an injury a stroke a

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.162
brain injury a orthopedic surgery

00:01:32.921 --> 00:01:35.504
Now we're moving into wellness,

00:01:35.563 --> 00:01:39.007
prevention, longevity, health span.

00:01:39.048 --> 00:01:41.709
These are the words that APTA is using.

00:01:42.490 --> 00:01:43.350
And the question is,

00:01:43.992 --> 00:01:46.754
are we deluding ourselves out of the

00:01:46.793 --> 00:01:47.355
profession?

00:01:48.796 --> 00:01:50.537
What are your initial responses?

00:01:50.558 --> 00:01:51.819
I think.

00:01:52.984 --> 00:01:53.284
Gosh,

00:01:53.364 --> 00:01:54.865
I would need to compare physical therapy

00:01:54.885 --> 00:01:56.325
to other types of professions,

00:01:56.385 --> 00:01:56.846
to be honest.

00:01:56.945 --> 00:01:58.706
But again, I've said this before.

00:01:58.725 --> 00:01:59.206
I'll say it again.

00:01:59.227 --> 00:02:00.266
I'll say it ten million more times.

00:02:00.587 --> 00:02:01.846
One of our strengths is that we're so

00:02:01.906 --> 00:02:02.566
wide and broad,

00:02:02.927 --> 00:02:04.328
and one of our weaknesses is we're so

00:02:04.388 --> 00:02:04.888
wide and broad.

00:02:05.128 --> 00:02:06.908
So I'm purely acute care PTs.

00:02:06.927 --> 00:02:07.789
Like, what are you talking about?

00:02:07.828 --> 00:02:08.848
PTs are the future me.

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:10.729
I'm trying to get you to the bathroom

00:02:10.889 --> 00:02:11.368
right now.

00:02:11.389 --> 00:02:12.569
I'm trying to get you out of the

00:02:12.629 --> 00:02:14.469
hospital in five days or less.

00:02:16.211 --> 00:02:16.890
I don't mind it.

00:02:17.050 --> 00:02:18.371
Like, if you said, like, what's the,

00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:19.270
you know, always, like,

00:02:19.311 --> 00:02:20.852
take the temperature of the world, right?

00:02:20.872 --> 00:02:22.111
Like, health and wellness.

00:02:22.762 --> 00:02:25.504
is at an all-time high, right?

00:02:25.945 --> 00:02:27.367
Not to jump on this would be,

00:02:27.487 --> 00:02:29.409
in my opinion, a giant mistake.

00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:32.092
So I'm not giggling at the idea behind

00:02:32.152 --> 00:02:33.455
PT future me.

00:02:34.354 --> 00:02:35.895
That's the best name you could come up

00:02:35.955 --> 00:02:36.116
with?

00:02:36.135 --> 00:02:37.036
Who says that?

00:02:37.395 --> 00:02:38.156
Who says that?

00:02:38.316 --> 00:02:39.597
It rhymes.

00:02:39.776 --> 00:02:40.137
It rhymes.

00:02:40.157 --> 00:02:41.557
It does,

00:02:41.617 --> 00:02:43.358
but I think the grammar people would be

00:02:43.397 --> 00:02:44.098
like, what?

00:02:44.718 --> 00:02:45.079
What?

00:02:45.618 --> 00:02:45.938
I don't know.

00:02:45.998 --> 00:02:46.818
That was the best name.

00:02:46.878 --> 00:02:48.139
And you know me about names.

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:49.960
If it's got a dumb name and a

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:50.661
great idea,

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:52.941
you reduce the likelihood that people are

00:02:52.961 --> 00:02:54.602
going to say it to someone else.

00:02:54.801 --> 00:02:57.782
Could you imagine two sixty-year-old women

00:02:57.802 --> 00:03:00.264
are sitting on a deck and they're going,

00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:01.189
You know,

00:03:01.250 --> 00:03:03.371
I haven't invested in PT for future me

00:03:03.411 --> 00:03:03.752
lately.

00:03:04.132 --> 00:03:05.712
No, no, no one ever.

00:03:05.832 --> 00:03:07.533
No human being ever says that.

00:03:08.033 --> 00:03:10.575
I guarantee you that meeting came out of

00:03:10.656 --> 00:03:13.456
a committee of of people and we paid

00:03:13.477 --> 00:03:15.038
a lot of money for that name.

00:03:15.138 --> 00:03:16.139
And that name sucks.

00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:17.379
And I will say it right now.

00:03:18.379 --> 00:03:20.600
Well, I don't want to miss my opportunity.

00:03:21.062 --> 00:03:21.701
I was going to say,

00:03:21.882 --> 00:03:23.502
don't call me a wide broad.

00:03:24.263 --> 00:03:27.305
You call me a wide, wide and broad.

00:03:30.087 --> 00:03:31.248
I just wonder,

00:03:31.808 --> 00:03:33.550
and you would know better than me,

00:03:34.409 --> 00:03:37.072
it's always been my impression that APTA's

00:03:37.132 --> 00:03:40.612
core base is academia,

00:03:40.752 --> 00:03:42.334
hospital-based therapists,

00:03:42.753 --> 00:03:44.935
and then the small sliver of outpatient

00:03:44.974 --> 00:03:47.675
private practice doesn't even account for

00:03:47.695 --> 00:03:51.237
a measurable seat at the table, per se.

00:03:51.258 --> 00:03:52.919
In terms of leadership, you mean?

00:03:54.075 --> 00:03:56.177
Just in terms of membership,

00:03:56.337 --> 00:03:57.459
in terms of... I don't know.

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:58.258
I'm going to look that up.

00:03:58.299 --> 00:03:59.620
So, hey, AI,

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:00.741
when I'm done with this transcript,

00:04:01.062 --> 00:04:01.822
I want the percentage.

00:04:01.882 --> 00:04:02.902
Are you talking about membership,

00:04:02.943 --> 00:04:03.483
leadership?

00:04:03.883 --> 00:04:05.465
Let's look into those data because I don't

00:04:05.485 --> 00:04:06.165
know if that's true.

00:04:06.225 --> 00:04:07.646
I think a third of them are students.

00:04:08.046 --> 00:04:08.606
That's a big one.

00:04:08.627 --> 00:04:08.907
Okay.

00:04:09.307 --> 00:04:11.109
That's another big one.

00:04:11.128 --> 00:04:11.209
Yeah.

00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:13.670
So, looking at that, to me,

00:04:13.972 --> 00:04:16.434
PT for future me is cash base.

00:04:17.134 --> 00:04:19.295
It's moving outside of all of those

00:04:19.375 --> 00:04:19.735
realms.

00:04:20.235 --> 00:04:22.276
It's not insurance reimbursement.

00:04:22.315 --> 00:04:23.357
It's not hospital.

00:04:23.437 --> 00:04:26.098
It's not acute rehab, inpatient rehab,

00:04:26.137 --> 00:04:26.838
any of that stuff.

00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:30.519
So like, are we kind of, you know,

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:30.939
again,

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.201
alienating the core that has kept the APTA

00:04:36.281 --> 00:04:36.682
running?

00:04:37.182 --> 00:04:37.562
I don't know.

00:04:37.622 --> 00:04:38.343
I think it could be.

00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:40.939
I think you can have more than one

00:04:40.978 --> 00:04:41.759
message, right?

00:04:41.778 --> 00:04:43.620
Barstool Sports is a good example.

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.980
It's not all about football or bars.

00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.600
It's about sports and the many different

00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:49.721
ways it touches people.

00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:51.560
So I don't think that the move is

00:04:51.581 --> 00:04:52.221
necessarily bad.

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.841
I don't know if the APT is equipped

00:04:53.922 --> 00:04:54.601
for it, right?

00:04:54.641 --> 00:04:58.141
Because PT for future me is public facing,

00:04:58.161 --> 00:04:58.601
correct?

00:04:59.502 --> 00:05:00.302
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:00.362 --> 00:05:01.483
That's their main campaign.

00:05:01.702 --> 00:05:02.882
Yeah, it's not what they're good at.

00:05:04.583 --> 00:05:06.184
If you need evidence of me proving it's

00:05:06.204 --> 00:05:06.843
not what they're good at,

00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:07.803
just look at the names.

00:05:08.524 --> 00:05:09.964
I think the grammar people would be very

00:05:09.985 --> 00:05:13.086
excited to break down PT for future me.

00:05:13.146 --> 00:05:15.007
So I want to bring Dave into it.

00:05:15.067 --> 00:05:16.187
Dave, we were just saying,

00:05:16.226 --> 00:05:18.848
today is the first day of physical therapy

00:05:18.887 --> 00:05:19.228
month.

00:05:20.149 --> 00:05:21.910
APTA, from my understanding,

00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:23.050
I'm going to research it,

00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:27.351
has a campaign running PT for future me,

00:05:28.252 --> 00:05:31.213
moving the profession toward wellness,

00:05:31.274 --> 00:05:33.134
longevity, prevention,

00:05:35.238 --> 00:05:37.079
What I said to Jimmy, two things,

00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:38.221
and I wanna hear what you have to

00:05:38.261 --> 00:05:38.560
say.

00:05:39.502 --> 00:05:42.863
One is that's moving away from what PT

00:05:42.884 --> 00:05:43.723
has always been.

00:05:43.803 --> 00:05:47.326
PT is about recovery, rehabilitation.

00:05:47.365 --> 00:05:48.487
It's fixing an injury.

00:05:48.867 --> 00:05:51.968
It's bringing a person out of a stroke,

00:05:52.009 --> 00:05:53.029
out of a brain injury.

00:05:54.831 --> 00:05:57.153
If we cut that piece of it off,

00:05:57.692 --> 00:05:58.973
we lose a huge,

00:05:59.535 --> 00:06:01.596
huge element of the profession.

00:06:02.836 --> 00:06:06.279
And is it starting to alienate the real

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:07.922
base of APTA?

00:06:07.982 --> 00:06:09.682
Like is, and I'm going to research it.

00:06:10.783 --> 00:06:13.225
My understanding was APTA was mostly made

00:06:13.266 --> 00:06:15.286
up of members that are in hospitals,

00:06:15.326 --> 00:06:16.507
that are in academia.

00:06:16.588 --> 00:06:18.850
Jimmy brought up students are a big

00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:19.750
portion of it.

00:06:21.862 --> 00:06:22.202
So like,

00:06:22.242 --> 00:06:24.846
if this is the campaign PT for future

00:06:24.886 --> 00:06:27.028
me, I like the idea.

00:06:27.408 --> 00:06:28.990
I just don't know if it moves us

00:06:29.170 --> 00:06:31.151
that the profession of physical therapy in

00:06:31.192 --> 00:06:31.872
the right direction.

00:06:32.252 --> 00:06:32.973
What do you think Dave?

00:06:35.646 --> 00:06:35.805
I mean,

00:06:35.906 --> 00:06:37.247
I think these campaigns are always going

00:06:37.266 --> 00:06:39.689
to be around something around movement or

00:06:39.749 --> 00:06:40.048
health.

00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:43.790
I was thinking, because, you know,

00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:45.391
we always have our bias of like the

00:06:45.451 --> 00:06:47.934
outpatient or like the orthopedic or neuro

00:06:47.973 --> 00:06:48.394
type of,

00:06:48.973 --> 00:06:50.815
or geriatric type of group of folks,

00:06:50.875 --> 00:06:52.997
not really like necessarily the PEDS

00:06:53.036 --> 00:06:55.098
subset or the acute care subset.

00:06:55.478 --> 00:06:57.699
But when I think of like either home

00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.261
visits or brick and mortar,

00:07:00.641 --> 00:07:01.903
I was thinking sarcastically,

00:07:01.963 --> 00:07:03.764
I think the campaign should be

00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:06.244
Get ready to pay out of pocket.

00:07:08.331 --> 00:07:09.011
Meaning, you know,

00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:10.192
the reimbursement and all that.

00:07:10.232 --> 00:07:11.411
Obviously, that would be, you know,

00:07:12.451 --> 00:07:14.072
there might be some comments negatively

00:07:14.112 --> 00:07:14.432
about that.

00:07:14.473 --> 00:07:15.713
I'm just kidding, folks.

00:07:15.754 --> 00:07:17.213
But that's kind of, like,

00:07:17.413 --> 00:07:18.975
at least my reality or the reality of,

00:07:19.014 --> 00:07:19.855
like, a lot of people,

00:07:19.894 --> 00:07:20.894
and there's still a lot of places that

00:07:20.915 --> 00:07:21.475
take insurance.

00:07:21.514 --> 00:07:24.677
But I think it's okay.

00:07:24.757 --> 00:07:26.437
I think maybe in terms of grammar that,

00:07:26.536 --> 00:07:26.737
like,

00:07:27.237 --> 00:07:28.517
I think they're doing it more just for

00:07:28.697 --> 00:07:30.398
simplicity and trying to make it maybe

00:07:30.437 --> 00:07:32.579
like a fifth-grade reading level type of a

00:07:32.598 --> 00:07:32.999
campaign,

00:07:33.038 --> 00:07:35.019
which I think that is always important.

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:37.721
Fifth-grade reading level is important.

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.721
Don't write it like a fifth grader who

00:07:39.742 --> 00:07:40.242
can't read.

00:07:40.923 --> 00:07:41.362
I know.

00:07:41.442 --> 00:07:41.622
I know.

00:07:41.642 --> 00:07:43.543
But I think maybe they were trying to

00:07:43.564 --> 00:07:45.285
simplify it maybe too much.

00:07:45.904 --> 00:07:47.386
I thought mine was the podcast where you

00:07:47.406 --> 00:07:48.747
drank and then talked about things.

00:07:51.267 --> 00:07:54.069
So Gemini says private practice and

00:07:54.149 --> 00:07:56.250
outpatient settings represent sixty

00:07:56.271 --> 00:07:57.031
percent of.

00:07:57.651 --> 00:07:58.091
There you go.

00:07:59.225 --> 00:08:01.487
clinical and a sixty percent of

00:08:01.848 --> 00:08:02.788
memberships,

00:08:03.749 --> 00:08:05.930
but that includes hospital outpatient.

00:08:06.310 --> 00:08:07.911
It includes physical therapists who own

00:08:07.932 --> 00:08:09.833
their own private practice and independent

00:08:09.853 --> 00:08:10.192
business.

00:08:12.194 --> 00:08:14.615
Hospital based settings represent the

00:08:14.696 --> 00:08:17.036
second largest clinical category.

00:08:18.298 --> 00:08:21.420
These are acute care inpatient and large

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.321
health systems.

00:08:24.882 --> 00:08:26.302
And then academia,

00:08:26.684 --> 00:08:28.764
about eight percent of the membership.

00:08:29.504 --> 00:08:31.225
Right.

00:08:31.245 --> 00:08:31.446
Yeah,

00:08:31.505 --> 00:08:32.826
that's about what I thought it would be.

00:08:33.767 --> 00:08:35.787
But I still think we're comparing apples

00:08:35.826 --> 00:08:37.227
to pears, not oranges.

00:08:37.548 --> 00:08:38.028
They're close.

00:08:38.849 --> 00:08:39.168
Yeah.

00:08:39.589 --> 00:08:39.889
People,

00:08:40.389 --> 00:08:41.850
what are the reasons people belong?

00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:42.409
If you belong,

00:08:42.450 --> 00:08:43.730
if you're going to give the APTA five

00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:46.552
hundred dollars a year and expect five

00:08:46.611 --> 00:08:48.732
hundred dollars of value in terms of,

00:08:48.913 --> 00:08:50.393
well, I gave them five hundred dollars,

00:08:50.432 --> 00:08:51.693
where's my five hundred dollars of

00:08:51.813 --> 00:08:52.413
advocacy?

00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:54.900
You're never going to get that.

00:08:55.201 --> 00:08:56.701
People belong to a professional

00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:58.662
association so they can associate with

00:08:58.721 --> 00:08:59.361
other professionals.

00:08:59.662 --> 00:09:02.363
If that's not valuable to you, don't join.

00:09:02.543 --> 00:09:04.063
And I'm saying that as a member of

00:09:04.104 --> 00:09:05.484
the APTA.

00:09:05.744 --> 00:09:07.184
I just gave this talk to students at

00:09:07.384 --> 00:09:08.384
College of Staten Island.

00:09:08.965 --> 00:09:10.346
We were talking about it from a prompt

00:09:11.086 --> 00:09:13.086
technology perspective and why people

00:09:13.106 --> 00:09:13.846
leave the profession.

00:09:13.927 --> 00:09:14.866
Here is my one take.

00:09:15.187 --> 00:09:17.628
When expectation meets reality,

00:09:17.967 --> 00:09:19.509
that's where friction lies.

00:09:19.788 --> 00:09:21.889
That's when people get angry or frustrated

00:09:21.970 --> 00:09:22.730
or drop off.

00:09:23.325 --> 00:09:26.528
When expectation and reality,

00:09:26.567 --> 00:09:27.948
when the expectation is low but the

00:09:28.009 --> 00:09:29.029
experience is high,

00:09:29.269 --> 00:09:31.331
that's what we call surprise and delight

00:09:31.371 --> 00:09:31.951
in marketing.

00:09:32.373 --> 00:09:33.933
So I think if you go into APTA

00:09:33.953 --> 00:09:34.313
being like,

00:09:34.394 --> 00:09:35.615
all my problems will be solved.

00:09:35.654 --> 00:09:36.816
All my content will be solved.

00:09:37.277 --> 00:09:38.638
That is not on the brochure.

00:09:39.238 --> 00:09:40.700
Those are the people who come in and

00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:41.941
churn, as we call.

00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:43.761
Set better expectations.

00:09:43.802 --> 00:09:45.964
But that starts with taking an assessment

00:09:46.004 --> 00:09:48.365
of what APTA actually is and what they

00:09:48.485 --> 00:09:49.326
actually provide.

00:09:49.647 --> 00:09:50.668
Then communicate that.

00:09:52.091 --> 00:09:52.941
So this could be a...

00:09:55.051 --> 00:09:56.711
Kismet, I think that's the word,

00:09:56.931 --> 00:09:59.951
like a fortunate situation.

00:10:00.172 --> 00:10:01.331
Happenstance.

00:10:01.392 --> 00:10:02.232
Happenstance.

00:10:03.072 --> 00:10:05.192
You guys know today is October first,

00:10:05.232 --> 00:10:07.114
first day of PT Awareness Month.

00:10:07.134 --> 00:10:08.173
I had no idea.

00:10:09.333 --> 00:10:11.475
First day of our twenty eight day

00:10:11.514 --> 00:10:14.394
challenge for publishing more content.

00:10:15.034 --> 00:10:15.355
Dave,

00:10:15.394 --> 00:10:17.816
I want to talk about your response video

00:10:17.895 --> 00:10:20.076
on TikTok to the guy who said you're

00:10:20.336 --> 00:10:22.157
basically don't use the word doctor.

00:10:22.817 --> 00:10:24.681
oh you did a video i was watching

00:10:24.721 --> 00:10:27.505
it this morning um nice because that was

00:10:27.546 --> 00:10:29.087
like uh it was like a week and

00:10:29.107 --> 00:10:32.514
a half two weeks ago so really yep

00:10:32.533 --> 00:10:34.136
it just showed up on my tick tock

00:10:34.157 --> 00:10:34.938
feed this morning

00:10:35.889 --> 00:10:37.171
Which I'd like to point out,

00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:39.652
understand the physics of some of these

00:10:39.692 --> 00:10:40.231
platforms.

00:10:40.672 --> 00:10:41.772
And we can get into the nitty gritty.

00:10:42.052 --> 00:10:43.192
I'll share some screenshots.

00:10:43.393 --> 00:10:44.253
Tony's got them too,

00:10:44.594 --> 00:10:46.234
where something is nothing, nothing,

00:10:46.274 --> 00:10:47.335
nothing, nothing, nothing.

00:10:47.414 --> 00:10:47.815
Boom.

00:10:48.274 --> 00:10:50.155
So I know you posted that a week

00:10:50.176 --> 00:10:50.796
ago, two weeks ago.

00:10:50.816 --> 00:10:52.256
You just said, I never saw it.

00:10:52.297 --> 00:10:53.417
And I'm pretty connected with you.

00:10:54.057 --> 00:10:55.898
Doesn't mean it doesn't pop.

00:10:56.817 --> 00:10:59.239
Yeah, but before we move on,

00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:04.200
so back to APTA, they have a hashtag,

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.620
PT for me is what they want you

00:11:06.660 --> 00:11:08.322
to use when you're posting content and

00:11:08.361 --> 00:11:10.261
anything related to this month.

00:11:10.981 --> 00:11:13.023
Consumer member toolkits,

00:11:13.062 --> 00:11:16.004
they have graphics, sample social copy,

00:11:16.144 --> 00:11:18.365
infographics, press release material,

00:11:18.424 --> 00:11:19.485
patient education,

00:11:20.125 --> 00:11:21.725
and life stage fact sheet.

00:11:22.813 --> 00:11:26.937
um they have october tenth is global pt

00:11:26.999 --> 00:11:31.322
day of service and national media exposure

00:11:31.383 --> 00:11:33.524
they're going on the today show on october

00:11:33.605 --> 00:11:35.206
ninth in new york dave you should go

00:11:35.246 --> 00:11:38.169
down there stand up i want to go

00:11:38.529 --> 00:11:39.792
i want to go and i want to

00:11:39.812 --> 00:11:41.592
bring a megaphone that's my idea and

00:11:41.633 --> 00:11:43.394
anybody wants to come with me i'll buy

00:11:43.414 --> 00:11:44.897
the megaphone you bring the bagels

00:11:46.197 --> 00:11:47.899
my wife and i were down my wife

00:11:47.938 --> 00:11:49.559
and i were down at the today show

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.520
like waving and trying to get their

00:11:51.541 --> 00:11:54.741
attention i want to see dave and mini

00:11:54.782 --> 00:11:57.104
dave out there so i've got some thoughts

00:11:57.344 --> 00:11:59.625
right like a toolkit is a great first

00:11:59.664 --> 00:12:01.024
step and i will tell you from the

00:12:01.046 --> 00:12:02.326
guy who's been in a lot of marketing

00:12:02.365 --> 00:12:04.807
boardrooms that is the thing that comes

00:12:04.947 --> 00:12:08.048
out well what can we do we can

00:12:08.089 --> 00:12:09.809
just find a cool a toolkit and let

00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:11.711
people know it's there the toolkit

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:14.741
is a C plus, right?

00:12:14.782 --> 00:12:16.283
The people who are actually going to use

00:12:16.322 --> 00:12:18.306
it know how to make better content than

00:12:18.326 --> 00:12:18.546
that.

00:12:18.765 --> 00:12:20.086
That's what this challenge is about.

00:12:20.368 --> 00:12:21.849
Being crappy, being better.

00:12:22.068 --> 00:12:22.870
It's through reps.

00:12:22.929 --> 00:12:24.231
It's not by repeating a toolkit.

00:12:24.432 --> 00:12:24.851
But listen,

00:12:25.072 --> 00:12:28.937
doing the toolkit is a B plus effort,

00:12:29.397 --> 00:12:30.337
C plus deliverable.

00:12:30.739 --> 00:12:32.760
What would be an A plus deliverable

00:12:33.640 --> 00:12:34.881
is if they hired Tony, Jimmy,

00:12:34.902 --> 00:12:36.621
and Dave to go to a state chapter,

00:12:36.923 --> 00:12:38.763
and they gave us PTs and locked them

00:12:38.783 --> 00:12:39.663
in a room for eight hours,

00:12:39.884 --> 00:12:41.524
and we did your twenty-eight day challenge

00:12:41.764 --> 00:12:44.365
in eight hours and held their hand and

00:12:44.405 --> 00:12:45.687
said, you will click this,

00:12:46.506 --> 00:12:47.888
you will stand in front of this camera,

00:12:48.107 --> 00:12:49.168
you will read this,

00:12:49.248 --> 00:12:50.408
you will record this video.

00:12:50.808 --> 00:12:51.408
Repetition.

00:12:51.549 --> 00:12:52.090
Ironically,

00:12:52.830 --> 00:12:54.671
reading a toolkit about how to do PT

00:12:54.931 --> 00:12:56.451
doesn't get people to do PT.

00:12:57.133 --> 00:12:59.214
We need someone to go in person,

00:12:59.234 --> 00:12:59.974
as Dave would say,

00:13:00.354 --> 00:13:01.634
and put hands on them and say,

00:13:01.914 --> 00:13:03.535
do this, I will teach you.

00:13:03.696 --> 00:13:08.018
Otherwise, they won't.

00:13:08.118 --> 00:13:08.378
Yeah.

00:13:08.437 --> 00:13:08.477
C,

00:13:08.498 --> 00:13:11.318
C plus delivery on the ABTA's content that

00:13:11.339 --> 00:13:12.419
they provide for practice owners.

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.279
And no offense to them,

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:14.681
because at least they're trying to help.

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:15.480
Yes.

00:13:15.520 --> 00:13:18.501
But to expand more off of what Jimmy's

00:13:18.522 --> 00:13:19.062
saying is like,

00:13:20.062 --> 00:13:23.764
the content that gets the most attention

00:13:24.065 --> 00:13:26.525
or that gets the most attention

00:13:27.844 --> 00:13:30.085
clicks or shares is like what Tony does,

00:13:30.125 --> 00:13:32.066
where it's for a specific avatar,

00:13:32.086 --> 00:13:32.966
a specific person.

00:13:33.426 --> 00:13:35.447
So Tony's not gonna grab the APTA's

00:13:35.966 --> 00:13:38.668
graphics and say, and just repost it,

00:13:39.248 --> 00:13:40.109
which by the way, I think,

00:13:41.638 --> 00:13:42.678
ABT is trying to help,

00:13:43.099 --> 00:13:45.179
but this would be like the lazy way

00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:46.279
of marketing where you're just like,

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.500
you put up a graphic and it's like,

00:13:47.520 --> 00:13:49.322
we can help shoulder pain,

00:13:49.402 --> 00:13:51.962
stroke patients, runners, knee pain.

00:13:52.562 --> 00:13:54.823
And then it doesn't connect with anyone.

00:13:55.304 --> 00:13:56.884
Whereas Tony does something about,

00:13:57.706 --> 00:13:58.166
there you go.

00:13:58.186 --> 00:13:58.666
What does it say?

00:13:58.706 --> 00:14:00.586
Physical therapy is for everyone.

00:14:00.767 --> 00:14:04.109
Is for everyone across all life stages,

00:14:04.288 --> 00:14:06.370
all ages, all abilities.

00:14:06.450 --> 00:14:08.410
Physical therapy helps people.

00:14:08.971 --> 00:14:10.312
And then it goes through everything.

00:14:10.788 --> 00:14:10.947
Now,

00:14:11.048 --> 00:14:11.807
if you were going to make an ice

00:14:11.847 --> 00:14:12.708
cream flavor for everybody,

00:14:12.729 --> 00:14:14.730
you would call it mayonnaise-flavored ice

00:14:14.769 --> 00:14:16.750
cream because it would check all the boxes

00:14:16.811 --> 00:14:19.471
except no one wants it.

00:14:19.672 --> 00:14:20.831
And that's why when you go into an

00:14:21.552 --> 00:14:22.153
ice cream shop,

00:14:22.413 --> 00:14:23.933
do you want a cup or a cone?

00:14:23.953 --> 00:14:25.014
Do you want a small, medium, or large?

00:14:25.053 --> 00:14:26.575
And then there's ten or twenty or whatever

00:14:26.595 --> 00:14:27.174
different flavors.

00:14:27.235 --> 00:14:28.735
So when you're posting content,

00:14:29.255 --> 00:14:30.976
this is what I'm trying to do.

00:14:31.017 --> 00:14:33.557
And Tony does it a lot around knee

00:14:33.597 --> 00:14:34.038
replacements.

00:14:34.057 --> 00:14:35.139
He used to do a little bit of

00:14:35.178 --> 00:14:36.259
rotator cuff stuff,

00:14:36.298 --> 00:14:37.799
but mostly knee replacements.

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:39.900
For us, when we post content,

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.062
every time that we post something,

00:14:42.402 --> 00:14:44.163
it's really meant to be for one person,

00:14:44.203 --> 00:14:45.344
like one condition,

00:14:45.423 --> 00:14:47.166
like just a high rocks athlete or just

00:14:47.186 --> 00:14:47.985
a CrossFit athlete,

00:14:48.306 --> 00:14:49.687
or just a corporate executive who's

00:14:49.746 --> 00:14:51.368
stressed out that has back pain and

00:14:51.408 --> 00:14:53.190
stiffness that's affecting their day.

00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:55.130
Every single piece of content needs to be

00:14:55.150 --> 00:14:56.971
for literally one person.

00:14:57.032 --> 00:14:58.173
Think of a current patient,

00:14:58.192 --> 00:14:59.634
think of a previous client or patient,

00:15:00.033 --> 00:15:02.015
make content just for that one person at

00:15:02.035 --> 00:15:05.437
a time, not this like, uh,

00:15:07.339 --> 00:15:07.639
Shotgun.

00:15:07.658 --> 00:15:07.759
Yeah,

00:15:07.778 --> 00:15:12.061
the shotgun lazy way of regurgitating the

00:15:12.941 --> 00:15:13.880
marketing from ABTA.

00:15:13.921 --> 00:15:16.542
So ABTA, it's good that they're helping.

00:15:16.581 --> 00:15:17.783
They're trying to put it out.

00:15:17.802 --> 00:15:18.903
But it's like if you're just going to

00:15:19.283 --> 00:15:20.624
repost and reshare it,

00:15:21.884 --> 00:15:23.485
it's not going to resonate with anyone

00:15:23.605 --> 00:15:24.924
when it says physical therapy is for

00:15:24.985 --> 00:15:25.225
everyone.

00:15:25.245 --> 00:15:26.485
It doesn't even talk to the avatar.

00:15:26.505 --> 00:15:28.167
You got to talk directly to the avatar,

00:15:28.506 --> 00:15:29.346
the end client,

00:15:29.947 --> 00:15:31.488
someone that's a fifty five year old

00:15:31.548 --> 00:15:32.648
lawyer with back pain.

00:15:33.028 --> 00:15:34.028
That's one piece of content.

00:15:34.658 --> 00:15:35.019
Agreed.

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:35.340
Yeah,

00:15:36.041 --> 00:15:37.542
it wasn't on my bingo card to quote

00:15:37.562 --> 00:15:40.085
the movie The Patriot, but Mel Gibson,

00:15:40.105 --> 00:15:41.166
I forget his character name,

00:15:41.186 --> 00:15:43.948
but aim small, miss small.

00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:46.991
Aim big, miss big.

00:15:47.211 --> 00:15:48.494
And you can miss big all month.

00:15:48.533 --> 00:15:49.914
I don't care how many hashtags you're

00:15:49.934 --> 00:15:51.216
going to pop on that, my friend,

00:15:51.677 --> 00:15:52.278
you will miss big.

00:15:54.176 --> 00:15:56.998
uh real quick they were i thought that

00:15:57.339 --> 00:15:59.139
and again like you guys both said i

00:15:59.179 --> 00:16:02.221
will reiterate i appreciate the apta for

00:16:02.341 --> 00:16:04.703
making content i appreciate them for

00:16:04.764 --> 00:16:07.326
putting stuff out i don't want them to

00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:09.347
take this personally and i don't think any

00:16:09.388 --> 00:16:12.190
of them would no but it's designed by

00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:16.113
committee like jimmy said um who are

00:16:16.173 --> 00:16:18.754
physical therapists well physical

00:16:18.794 --> 00:16:21.236
therapists are doctorate educated i am not

00:16:22.105 --> 00:16:25.225
licensed health care providers i am they

00:16:25.245 --> 00:16:27.726
evaluate diagnose develop personalized

00:16:27.767 --> 00:16:29.966
health wellness plans to improve movement

00:16:30.006 --> 00:16:32.087
manage pain prevent future injury and

00:16:32.128 --> 00:16:34.729
chronic disease people of all ages and all

00:16:34.769 --> 00:16:38.809
abilities um i still feel like by

00:16:38.870 --> 00:16:41.551
necessity it just it leaves so much out

00:16:42.291 --> 00:16:45.371
you know and again obviously i would say

00:16:45.432 --> 00:16:47.772
i think all of us would say it's

00:16:47.831 --> 00:16:49.812
so much more than just those things

00:16:50.818 --> 00:16:53.340
But those things aren't necessarily the

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:55.399
things that I would focus the message on.

00:16:57.561 --> 00:16:58.961
If we want to go down the road

00:16:59.041 --> 00:17:01.780
of longevity and independence and personal

00:17:01.841 --> 00:17:03.261
freedom and autonomy,

00:17:04.241 --> 00:17:07.722
I would want to focus on staying in

00:17:07.823 --> 00:17:09.643
your role as a person,

00:17:09.722 --> 00:17:11.763
like picking up your grandkids and doing

00:17:11.804 --> 00:17:12.644
those things.

00:17:14.683 --> 00:17:15.545
I was going to share,

00:17:15.565 --> 00:17:16.525
I didn't share it,

00:17:16.865 --> 00:17:19.766
a video somebody in the fitness space made

00:17:20.385 --> 00:17:22.866
where basically it was a video of two

00:17:23.007 --> 00:17:24.547
older adults, man and a woman,

00:17:24.586 --> 00:17:25.728
probably husband and wife,

00:17:26.327 --> 00:17:30.729
jumping off of a plyo box.

00:17:31.229 --> 00:17:31.828
And they're like,

00:17:32.369 --> 00:17:34.089
if you don't effectively,

00:17:34.109 --> 00:17:35.310
if you don't like exercise,

00:17:35.351 --> 00:17:36.411
if you don't do this,

00:17:37.324 --> 00:17:38.265
this is your future.

00:17:38.285 --> 00:17:40.347
And then it pans to a wheelchair,

00:17:40.367 --> 00:17:42.730
a walker, you know, a recliner.

00:17:43.451 --> 00:17:45.053
And of course, there was the typical,

00:17:45.273 --> 00:17:48.718
this is ableism, ableist don't, you know,

00:17:48.958 --> 00:17:50.519
just because somebody doesn't exercise

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:51.961
doesn't mean they can't stay active and

00:17:52.001 --> 00:17:52.843
can't stay fit.

00:17:53.703 --> 00:17:55.445
But it's the idea behind the message.

00:17:55.913 --> 00:17:57.996
I love the fact that when that comes

00:17:58.096 --> 00:17:58.997
in, right,

00:17:59.057 --> 00:18:00.519
I got pulled into my boss's office,

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:02.861
month two of running a radio station.

00:18:02.881 --> 00:18:04.603
I was twenty-four or five years old.

00:18:05.104 --> 00:18:05.584
Month one,

00:18:05.663 --> 00:18:07.385
I did everything my boss did before me

00:18:07.405 --> 00:18:08.166
for the first three years.

00:18:08.207 --> 00:18:09.048
I did exactly that.

00:18:09.508 --> 00:18:11.150
Then I started getting a little, uh,

00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:12.672
what would I do in this situation?

00:18:12.872 --> 00:18:13.593
And I got pulled into my...

00:18:14.212 --> 00:18:14.873
boss's office.

00:18:14.893 --> 00:18:15.713
I wasn't in trouble.

00:18:16.034 --> 00:18:17.795
We just had a spirited discussion between

00:18:17.815 --> 00:18:18.974
the boss and everybody else.

00:18:19.414 --> 00:18:19.954
And at the end,

00:18:20.015 --> 00:18:21.776
we walked out friends and the boss told

00:18:21.796 --> 00:18:23.156
me to stay behind and he goes, Jimmy,

00:18:23.497 --> 00:18:24.737
you run my rock station.

00:18:25.116 --> 00:18:26.637
If I'm not pulling you into my office

00:18:26.758 --> 00:18:28.519
once a month for trying some stuff,

00:18:28.818 --> 00:18:30.078
it means you're not trying hard enough.

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:32.259
If you're not putting out content that

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:33.621
pisses some people off,

00:18:34.201 --> 00:18:36.362
you're not making content for anybody.

00:18:36.701 --> 00:18:38.083
I need you to disagree with me.

00:18:38.282 --> 00:18:39.242
The edges are where

00:18:40.096 --> 00:18:42.317
things grow and you build a business on

00:18:42.637 --> 00:18:47.919
not the messy the boring middle so that's

00:18:47.999 --> 00:18:49.759
not what i want put that up there

00:18:49.858 --> 00:18:51.838
okay i think i should do all the

00:18:51.878 --> 00:18:53.440
live streams from newark airport because

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:55.140
i'm too espresso steve and walking around

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.121
here not standing still at my desk so

00:18:58.201 --> 00:19:00.681
what i shared before was the the therapist

00:19:00.721 --> 00:19:05.781
toolkit this is the patient toolkit um why

00:19:05.821 --> 00:19:08.403
physical therapy that's for the patient

00:19:09.211 --> 00:19:10.432
This is for the patient.

00:19:10.472 --> 00:19:14.673
The previous one was for the therapist.

00:19:14.713 --> 00:19:15.473
Same stuff, though.

00:19:15.775 --> 00:19:18.194
Still says who are physical therapists,

00:19:18.255 --> 00:19:19.556
doctorate educated,

00:19:19.895 --> 00:19:21.616
licensed healthcare professionals.

00:19:22.656 --> 00:19:24.258
It's basically, yeah,

00:19:24.298 --> 00:19:26.078
same thing across the lifespan,

00:19:26.098 --> 00:19:27.358
childhood to adult.

00:19:28.278 --> 00:19:29.059
This checks a box.

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:29.759
Again, like...

00:19:30.814 --> 00:19:33.275
A for effort, but here's the funny part.

00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:34.296
I bet you the marketing people that

00:19:34.336 --> 00:19:36.236
designed this knew exactly what they were

00:19:36.276 --> 00:19:36.696
doing.

00:19:36.717 --> 00:19:38.237
They had to cover a base,

00:19:38.257 --> 00:19:41.538
so they covered a base.

00:19:41.618 --> 00:19:41.939
Yeah.

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:45.960
I wonder if there is ever a point,

00:19:46.901 --> 00:19:48.260
infographic, downloadable,

00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:50.061
so this is something that you would be

00:19:50.122 --> 00:19:52.282
able to share with your consumer base,

00:19:52.303 --> 00:19:53.743
your patient population.

00:19:55.046 --> 00:19:57.327
But nobody's going to share that.

00:19:58.788 --> 00:20:00.270
Is there ever a point where,

00:20:00.351 --> 00:20:01.171
and maybe they have,

00:20:01.771 --> 00:20:03.953
where they would create something very

00:20:04.013 --> 00:20:04.554
targeted,

00:20:04.614 --> 00:20:08.678
very specific to a demographic or even the

00:20:08.998 --> 00:20:13.582
chapters or the subgroups, the academies.

00:20:14.222 --> 00:20:15.303
That's who should,

00:20:16.003 --> 00:20:17.925
but they don't have the time or the

00:20:17.986 --> 00:20:19.547
expertise to do that or see that.

00:20:19.987 --> 00:20:22.589
Nobody here thinks it's their problem.

00:20:23.403 --> 00:20:26.125
Because nobody is financially in trouble

00:20:26.184 --> 00:20:28.445
if that problem doesn't get solved.

00:20:28.905 --> 00:20:31.047
That's why I say APTA is not a

00:20:31.186 --> 00:20:32.768
consumer-facing organization.

00:20:32.807 --> 00:20:34.028
They don't have the relationship.

00:20:35.189 --> 00:20:37.609
If nobody knows what PT does is true,

00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:38.690
which I don't think it is,

00:20:38.890 --> 00:20:39.509
but if it were,

00:20:39.750 --> 00:20:41.510
then people definitely don't know who the

00:20:41.590 --> 00:20:43.231
APTA is and why they should trust it.

00:20:43.251 --> 00:20:44.071
They're not built for it.

00:20:44.132 --> 00:20:45.011
It's not what they're built for.

00:20:45.051 --> 00:20:46.393
They're a professional association.

00:20:46.553 --> 00:20:49.933
They're where professionals associate.

00:20:49.953 --> 00:20:51.535
Dave, any feedback before we move on?

00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:54.750
No, that's enough.

00:20:54.810 --> 00:20:57.510
But I think Dave's feedback is this.

00:20:57.631 --> 00:21:00.392
I think Dave is your avatar if you're

00:21:00.451 --> 00:21:01.132
APTA.

00:21:01.392 --> 00:21:01.893
Dave's like,

00:21:02.313 --> 00:21:03.932
show me why me giving you five hundred

00:21:03.992 --> 00:21:06.874
dollars solves one problem or gives me

00:21:06.913 --> 00:21:08.233
back something.

00:21:08.273 --> 00:21:09.954
Like if there was a peer,

00:21:09.974 --> 00:21:12.076
PPS does this great thing called peer to

00:21:12.115 --> 00:21:13.276
peer where

00:21:13.702 --> 00:21:14.644
And I haven't looked into it,

00:21:14.663 --> 00:21:16.144
but I've got a buddy, David, who's like,

00:21:16.203 --> 00:21:16.463
I loved it.

00:21:16.484 --> 00:21:16.904
It was great.

00:21:16.924 --> 00:21:17.744
They, they sent, they,

00:21:17.785 --> 00:21:19.605
they put you in small groups of people

00:21:19.625 --> 00:21:21.686
who are similar to you in what you're

00:21:21.727 --> 00:21:22.067
doing,

00:21:22.307 --> 00:21:24.128
but maybe they're five years ahead of you

00:21:24.148 --> 00:21:25.628
in your career, five years behind,

00:21:25.828 --> 00:21:26.849
but you're all different.

00:21:27.589 --> 00:21:29.692
That is terribly imagine that imagine

00:21:29.711 --> 00:21:30.251
you're like, Dave,

00:21:30.531 --> 00:21:31.673
why am I giving you five hundred bucks

00:21:31.992 --> 00:21:32.373
once a month?

00:21:32.393 --> 00:21:33.272
We're going to put you in a pod

00:21:33.493 --> 00:21:34.233
with five people.

00:21:35.094 --> 00:21:35.755
one hour a month,

00:21:35.914 --> 00:21:37.195
we're gonna do that twelve times,

00:21:37.316 --> 00:21:38.215
and you're gonna learn some stuff.

00:21:38.296 --> 00:21:39.497
I feel like Dave would be like, yeah,

00:21:39.517 --> 00:21:39.936
that makes sense,

00:21:39.957 --> 00:21:41.178
because five hundred bucks over twelve

00:21:41.218 --> 00:21:42.298
months, that's a layup.

00:21:42.679 --> 00:21:44.059
If I learn one business,

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:45.540
imagine you were in a pod with someone

00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:46.642
who's like, I've done direct mail,

00:21:47.102 --> 00:21:48.522
try this, not that, and you were like,

00:21:48.903 --> 00:21:49.344
oh my god,

00:21:49.403 --> 00:21:50.444
was that five hundred bucks worth it?

00:21:50.484 --> 00:21:51.585
Because I met this dude who gave me

00:21:51.605 --> 00:21:52.705
a trick, who helped my business.

00:21:53.426 --> 00:21:56.249
Yes, that's the value, not that web page.

00:21:57.159 --> 00:21:58.319
Yeah, it's like, no,

00:21:58.519 --> 00:21:59.580
I've had buddies that have done that,

00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:00.401
the peer-to-peer.

00:22:00.681 --> 00:22:03.363
And it's almost like group coaching,

00:22:03.943 --> 00:22:05.525
but like, yeah, sharing ideas,

00:22:05.545 --> 00:22:06.464
sharing best practices.

00:22:06.525 --> 00:22:07.286
Here's what worked for me.

00:22:07.306 --> 00:22:07.786
I mean,

00:22:08.006 --> 00:22:09.007
we all do this on the show all

00:22:09.027 --> 00:22:10.167
the time, right?

00:22:10.607 --> 00:22:11.488
I share my mailers.

00:22:11.628 --> 00:22:12.989
I said how many addresses I sent it

00:22:13.028 --> 00:22:14.589
to and how much I spent on it

00:22:14.651 --> 00:22:16.111
and how many calls we got from it

00:22:16.131 --> 00:22:16.491
or whatever.

00:22:16.551 --> 00:22:18.212
Like we share a lot of that.

00:22:18.553 --> 00:22:20.693
So it's sharing with other owners that are

00:22:20.733 --> 00:22:22.875
similar to you and hopefully your group

00:22:22.894 --> 00:22:24.336
would have like maybe one or two owners

00:22:24.355 --> 00:22:26.257
where like they're ahead of you and then

00:22:26.297 --> 00:22:28.617
they can share like best practices that

00:22:28.657 --> 00:22:31.519
you should probably test like now or in

00:22:31.558 --> 00:22:32.479
the near future down the road.

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.319
Listen,

00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.001
that webpage from APTA is a cute little

00:22:38.041 --> 00:22:38.321
map.

00:22:38.701 --> 00:22:40.282
It's a map of an amusement park.

00:22:40.343 --> 00:22:41.644
It's a pretend area, right?

00:22:42.023 --> 00:22:43.223
What you need is a Sherpa.

00:22:43.423 --> 00:22:45.125
A map tells you where you're going.

00:22:45.244 --> 00:22:46.726
A Sherpa tells you where not to go.

00:22:47.021 --> 00:22:49.262
to step or you fall off the mountain.

00:22:49.482 --> 00:22:50.323
That's the difference.

00:22:50.643 --> 00:22:52.103
And if you can structure that,

00:22:52.463 --> 00:22:53.804
cause like us doing this,

00:22:54.223 --> 00:22:55.523
we're a little bit weird, right?

00:22:55.544 --> 00:22:56.525
Who the hell else is going to do

00:22:56.565 --> 00:22:58.204
a live stream twice a week for an

00:22:58.244 --> 00:23:00.145
hour, two plus three years.

00:23:00.465 --> 00:23:01.066
That's fine.

00:23:01.326 --> 00:23:02.606
We love the fact that people can listen

00:23:02.646 --> 00:23:02.946
to it,

00:23:03.487 --> 00:23:05.067
but all the APTA needs to do is

00:23:05.126 --> 00:23:06.528
create the structure.

00:23:06.948 --> 00:23:08.228
You've been matched with these five

00:23:08.268 --> 00:23:08.587
people.

00:23:08.847 --> 00:23:10.648
We put the zoom thing on your calendar

00:23:11.009 --> 00:23:12.588
once a month, just click and accept it.

00:23:12.669 --> 00:23:13.430
And now you've got to show up.

00:23:13.450 --> 00:23:14.430
I'm going to hold you accountable.

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.500
They just need to provide the structure.

00:23:16.560 --> 00:23:17.902
That's all university does.

00:23:18.502 --> 00:23:19.963
I can Google or chat GPT all the

00:23:19.983 --> 00:23:20.565
information.

00:23:20.845 --> 00:23:21.826
Why do I go to university?

00:23:22.205 --> 00:23:24.147
Structure and certification.

00:23:24.347 --> 00:23:25.509
That's the only thing universities are

00:23:25.528 --> 00:23:25.888
hanging on.

00:23:26.209 --> 00:23:26.970
That's their thread.

00:23:27.130 --> 00:23:27.951
That's all it is.

00:23:29.115 --> 00:23:32.318
So Dave has been part of Masterminds.

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.560
I shared with you guys a couple,

00:23:34.641 --> 00:23:36.622
like now because I'm sharing them,

00:23:36.662 --> 00:23:39.684
my feed is filled with ads for the

00:23:39.724 --> 00:23:42.886
Ryan Pineda Golfing Business Mastermind.

00:23:43.748 --> 00:23:46.309
Two or three other like big podcast

00:23:46.329 --> 00:23:48.311
channels trying to get guests doing

00:23:48.372 --> 00:23:49.252
Masterminds.

00:23:49.732 --> 00:23:51.713
They're charging fifteen to twenty five

00:23:51.753 --> 00:23:54.195
thousand to be part of the mastermind,

00:23:54.296 --> 00:23:56.557
plus all of the travel expenses.

00:23:56.577 --> 00:23:57.238
Correct.

00:23:57.678 --> 00:23:58.098
And, you know,

00:23:58.159 --> 00:24:00.400
APTA is struggling to sell five hundred to

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:02.862
a thousand dollar membership.

00:24:02.882 --> 00:24:04.462
They have the academies.

00:24:04.623 --> 00:24:07.384
Is that their version of trying to create

00:24:07.404 --> 00:24:09.767
a mastermind or should they go full blown

00:24:09.807 --> 00:24:10.126
like,

00:24:10.666 --> 00:24:12.529
Let's do a twenty five thousand dollar a

00:24:12.569 --> 00:24:13.431
year mastermind.

00:24:13.490 --> 00:24:15.733
Let's put people in different stages,

00:24:15.794 --> 00:24:17.737
but in the same category together.

00:24:18.217 --> 00:24:19.699
Let's put them on location.

00:24:20.921 --> 00:24:22.442
What is that where they should be?

00:24:23.463 --> 00:24:23.924
It should be.

00:24:25.452 --> 00:24:26.733
Well, they never will though.

00:24:26.973 --> 00:24:28.476
They will keep it at,

00:24:29.616 --> 00:24:31.617
specifically PPS will definitely keep it

00:24:31.637 --> 00:24:33.359
around the same dollar amount because they

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:35.281
just want to help the most practice

00:24:35.342 --> 00:24:36.021
owners, the most people.

00:24:36.061 --> 00:24:36.722
But I agree.

00:24:37.123 --> 00:24:39.244
I do agree that when you pony up

00:24:39.565 --> 00:24:40.026
more money,

00:24:40.935 --> 00:24:42.096
You take it more seriously.

00:24:42.156 --> 00:24:44.157
And unfortunately, like again, you know,

00:24:44.218 --> 00:24:45.699
health as a right and healthcare and all

00:24:45.719 --> 00:24:46.759
that type of stuff in the United States.

00:24:46.798 --> 00:24:48.140
But like, I've seen it.

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.961
I've been in network clinics, two,

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.202
three different clinics working and more

00:24:53.222 --> 00:24:55.345
through rotations versus when we're

00:24:55.404 --> 00:24:56.224
charging out of pocket.

00:24:56.805 --> 00:24:58.747
And magically there's less cancels and no

00:24:58.787 --> 00:25:00.106
shows when people are paying out of

00:25:00.146 --> 00:25:00.488
pocket.

00:25:00.528 --> 00:25:02.548
So yeah.

00:25:03.148 --> 00:25:04.490
I'm going to disagree with Dave,

00:25:05.349 --> 00:25:07.291
but I'm going to disagree with Dave for

00:25:07.352 --> 00:25:07.711
Dave.

00:25:08.467 --> 00:25:10.288
it's not because it's not just because

00:25:10.347 --> 00:25:12.167
people pay more out of pocket to come

00:25:12.188 --> 00:25:15.429
see dave dave also delivers and

00:25:15.528 --> 00:25:17.470
communicates what communicates what he's

00:25:17.509 --> 00:25:19.269
going to deliver there's the other side of

00:25:19.289 --> 00:25:21.270
that coin it's not just because someone's

00:25:21.310 --> 00:25:23.251
paying two fifty that magically because

00:25:23.271 --> 00:25:24.751
you have to you have you have to

00:25:24.771 --> 00:25:27.032
have better messaging if you're gonna

00:25:27.073 --> 00:25:28.813
charge fifteen twenty twenty five k for

00:25:28.833 --> 00:25:31.233
whatever for coaching or whatever whatever

00:25:31.253 --> 00:25:32.714
the thing is but i want to make

00:25:32.734 --> 00:25:33.914
sure people hear it's like well he's

00:25:34.784 --> 00:25:35.884
It's not just the,

00:25:35.924 --> 00:25:37.586
it's because I paid for it with cash

00:25:37.605 --> 00:25:38.586
and I touched the money.

00:25:39.446 --> 00:25:40.688
I agree with you.

00:25:40.968 --> 00:25:42.368
There's a difference when Dave walks in a

00:25:42.388 --> 00:25:43.710
room and says, this is what we charge.

00:25:44.190 --> 00:25:45.691
I'm sure the first fifty times you said

00:25:45.730 --> 00:25:48.393
it, you were a little apprehensive.

00:25:48.432 --> 00:25:49.452
Because you were like,

00:25:49.513 --> 00:25:50.773
now I'm going to actually charge what I'm

00:25:50.814 --> 00:25:51.174
worth.

00:25:51.214 --> 00:25:51.575
Which is,

00:25:51.934 --> 00:25:53.276
we want to complain about that under our

00:25:53.296 --> 00:25:54.576
breath when the insurance companies are

00:25:54.596 --> 00:25:54.876
paying.

00:25:55.474 --> 00:25:57.635
But it's not easy to stand there and

00:25:57.655 --> 00:25:58.955
be like, I'm worth three hundred dollars.

00:25:59.115 --> 00:25:59.935
And if you want this,

00:25:59.996 --> 00:26:00.675
that's what it costs.

00:26:00.695 --> 00:26:02.217
And if you don't, that's OK.

00:26:02.596 --> 00:26:03.277
You could do something else.

00:26:03.317 --> 00:26:04.436
It's not just the paying.

00:26:04.696 --> 00:26:06.617
It's also the people who are willing to

00:26:06.657 --> 00:26:08.978
put their livelihood on the line.

00:26:09.018 --> 00:26:09.357
Who's like,

00:26:09.438 --> 00:26:11.538
now I need to deliver or this is

00:26:11.558 --> 00:26:13.219
just one transaction and I got a couple

00:26:13.239 --> 00:26:14.078
hundred bucks from someone.

00:26:14.398 --> 00:26:16.200
There's someone who does what Dave does

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.319
for more than a year or three years

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:18.640
with that.

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:19.941
Isn't that the line of three years of

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.780
a business is three years.

00:26:21.471 --> 00:26:22.573
Somebody who does that for three years,

00:26:22.753 --> 00:26:23.895
it's not an accident.

00:26:23.955 --> 00:26:25.519
And it's not just because you charge more.

00:26:25.659 --> 00:26:27.061
There needs to be stuff on the back

00:26:27.142 --> 00:26:27.242
end.

00:26:29.416 --> 00:26:30.038
All right.

00:26:30.857 --> 00:26:33.519
So I definitely think APTA should move

00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.560
into that space.

00:26:35.020 --> 00:26:36.642
How?

00:26:36.662 --> 00:26:38.683
So hitting on what Dave said, PPS,

00:26:38.723 --> 00:26:40.023
they're going to keep it at that price

00:26:40.065 --> 00:26:41.424
point, trying to help more people.

00:26:41.925 --> 00:26:43.046
And I'm going to add to it.

00:26:43.666 --> 00:26:44.567
And as a result,

00:26:44.607 --> 00:26:47.429
they help no one because there's no

00:26:47.509 --> 00:26:48.470
specificity.

00:26:49.050 --> 00:26:51.192
I had a great time going to PPS.

00:26:51.632 --> 00:26:53.492
First time I think I met Jimmy in

00:26:53.532 --> 00:26:54.054
person.

00:26:54.733 --> 00:26:56.335
I got to see so many people in

00:26:56.375 --> 00:26:57.576
person for the first time.

00:26:57.836 --> 00:26:58.537
It was awesome.

00:26:59.076 --> 00:27:00.657
But I didn't walk away with anything

00:27:00.817 --> 00:27:01.998
outside of that.

00:27:02.117 --> 00:27:04.078
There was no tangible benefit.

00:27:04.558 --> 00:27:05.759
My business didn't grow.

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:07.881
Nothing changed behind the scenes.

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.642
So I do think PPS... Go ahead.

00:27:11.662 --> 00:27:12.542
So you were saying,

00:27:12.782 --> 00:27:14.624
is this something the APTA should do or

00:27:14.644 --> 00:27:16.023
is this their academy?

00:27:16.104 --> 00:27:16.624
The sort of...

00:27:18.085 --> 00:27:20.806
Could the APTA grow eighteen arms?

00:27:20.846 --> 00:27:23.247
And that's how many academies and sections

00:27:23.267 --> 00:27:23.646
there are.

00:27:24.228 --> 00:27:24.867
Could they?

00:27:24.907 --> 00:27:25.347
Should they?

00:27:25.468 --> 00:27:26.048
Yes, yes.

00:27:26.409 --> 00:27:26.989
Do they...

00:27:28.153 --> 00:27:30.074
PPS does it with peer-to-peer.

00:27:31.414 --> 00:27:32.914
APTA's Academy of Leadership and

00:27:32.934 --> 00:27:34.634
Innovation does it with their LAMP

00:27:34.694 --> 00:27:35.255
courses.

00:27:35.355 --> 00:27:36.915
I've never heard anybody say anything bad

00:27:36.935 --> 00:27:37.615
about peer-to-peer.

00:27:37.816 --> 00:27:39.236
I've never heard anybody say anything bad

00:27:39.256 --> 00:27:42.336
about LAMP because that is structured.

00:27:42.537 --> 00:27:44.136
Having a bunch of people who also have

00:27:44.156 --> 00:27:46.057
the same membership card with you and have

00:27:46.116 --> 00:27:47.958
access to the same website is not a

00:27:48.038 --> 00:27:48.597
membership.

00:27:49.357 --> 00:27:51.178
Can you take me from here to there?

00:27:51.498 --> 00:27:52.417
You need structure.

00:27:52.659 --> 00:27:54.919
So you walk into the LAMP Academy thing

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.199
You pay money, you pay your own money,

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.640
but then someone is holding you

00:27:58.660 --> 00:28:00.059
accountable for whatever it is,

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:02.740
a weekend or several months.

00:28:02.760 --> 00:28:03.661
They could do that,

00:28:03.701 --> 00:28:04.821
but they're not built for it.

00:28:05.201 --> 00:28:05.821
They think that,

00:28:06.122 --> 00:28:07.942
here's what APTA is standing on.

00:28:07.982 --> 00:28:08.643
Thirty years ago,

00:28:08.663 --> 00:28:09.762
the only way to get access to a

00:28:09.803 --> 00:28:11.243
lot of this information without the

00:28:11.263 --> 00:28:12.763
interwebs here was them.

00:28:13.769 --> 00:28:14.609
And then this showed up.

00:28:14.650 --> 00:28:15.670
Gatekeepers, gatekeepers.

00:28:15.690 --> 00:28:16.790
And they didn't pivot.

00:28:17.090 --> 00:28:18.192
And that's their problem.

00:28:18.271 --> 00:28:19.492
And that's why I'm worried about some

00:28:19.532 --> 00:28:21.213
chapters of your academies being

00:28:21.294 --> 00:28:24.516
financially insolvent in a few years.

00:28:25.037 --> 00:28:26.978
I'm doing math that is publicly available.

00:28:27.798 --> 00:28:28.459
If you look,

00:28:28.499 --> 00:28:31.060
they have to publish their financial data.

00:28:31.101 --> 00:28:32.361
Isn't that what it's for?

00:28:32.381 --> 00:28:34.303
Data, data, data, data.

00:28:34.323 --> 00:28:37.444
And the math ain't mathing, people.

00:28:38.123 --> 00:28:39.044
So I'm questioning,

00:28:39.064 --> 00:28:40.664
are you going to have a staff or

00:28:40.744 --> 00:28:41.826
anything?

00:28:42.026 --> 00:28:42.487
I said,

00:28:42.527 --> 00:28:43.347
I think it was two years ago,

00:28:43.367 --> 00:28:44.368
I said three or five years.

00:28:44.409 --> 00:28:46.089
So I'm still,

00:28:46.911 --> 00:28:49.673
my parlay is still in play if these

00:28:49.692 --> 00:28:50.413
things go out.

00:28:50.453 --> 00:28:51.474
But they could.

00:28:52.267 --> 00:28:53.586
But I don't think they think that's the

00:28:53.646 --> 00:28:53.926
problem.

00:28:53.948 --> 00:28:55.528
I think their thing is tell people to

00:28:55.548 --> 00:28:56.627
be a member because it's their

00:28:56.667 --> 00:28:57.509
professional duty.

00:28:58.088 --> 00:28:58.648
No, it's not.

00:28:58.769 --> 00:28:59.128
No, it's not.

00:28:59.169 --> 00:29:00.269
No, it's not.

00:29:00.288 --> 00:29:03.250
This next generation is thinking

00:29:03.349 --> 00:29:05.191
everything that you're saying and you,

00:29:05.351 --> 00:29:07.550
you, you are not listening.

00:29:09.892 --> 00:29:11.071
So just real quick,

00:29:11.132 --> 00:29:12.353
I'm looking at numbers.

00:29:12.932 --> 00:29:13.553
Nineteen,

00:29:13.613 --> 00:29:16.614
almost twenty million a year for APTA in

00:29:16.653 --> 00:29:18.454
twenty twenty five was dues and

00:29:18.474 --> 00:29:19.335
subscriptions.

00:29:21.458 --> 00:29:24.578
Uh, million accreditation and exam fees,

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:27.200
eight million, almost a million royalties,

00:29:27.661 --> 00:29:29.701
uh, meetings and conferences,

00:29:29.780 --> 00:29:33.282
seven and a half million other advertising

00:29:33.542 --> 00:29:36.364
revenue, million total revenue, million.

00:29:36.384 --> 00:29:36.423
Um,

00:29:36.443 --> 00:29:39.265
and what is that their financial

00:29:39.285 --> 00:29:40.144
statement?

00:29:40.224 --> 00:29:40.464
Yeah,

00:29:40.525 --> 00:29:41.905
basically this is kind of what I would

00:29:41.925 --> 00:29:43.546
love to do is take the last ten

00:29:43.566 --> 00:29:43.945
years.

00:29:44.007 --> 00:29:44.527
Are we doing this?

00:29:46.038 --> 00:29:47.500
Are we doing this or are we doing

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:48.080
this?

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:48.981
And if so, where?

00:29:49.142 --> 00:29:50.482
That's the health check.

00:29:51.262 --> 00:29:53.885
I want to check the future of PT,

00:29:54.185 --> 00:29:55.987
not just the future PT for future me.

00:29:56.047 --> 00:29:58.189
What is the name of the campaign again?

00:29:58.249 --> 00:29:59.289
PT for future me.

00:29:59.810 --> 00:30:01.031
PT for future me, isn't it?

00:30:01.672 --> 00:30:02.393
Future me, yeah.

00:30:02.692 --> 00:30:04.994
I always talk about me in the third

00:30:05.055 --> 00:30:05.375
person.

00:30:05.674 --> 00:30:06.756
PT, I'm thinking about...

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:09.421
You get an oil change for future me.

00:30:09.441 --> 00:30:09.921
You know what I mean?

00:30:09.941 --> 00:30:15.345
I was thinking about taking it for future

00:30:15.365 --> 00:30:15.404
me.

00:30:15.664 --> 00:30:17.465
So the twenty five million in twenty five

00:30:17.506 --> 00:30:19.346
million in dues and it's about five

00:30:19.366 --> 00:30:20.347
hundred bucks per year.

00:30:20.907 --> 00:30:21.048
Yeah.

00:30:21.208 --> 00:30:22.469
A hundred thousand hundred thousand

00:30:22.509 --> 00:30:22.869
members.

00:30:23.670 --> 00:30:25.151
Twenty million, not twenty five.

00:30:25.211 --> 00:30:27.492
Twenty million says approximately one

00:30:27.532 --> 00:30:28.653
hundred thousand members.

00:30:29.173 --> 00:30:30.054
That's five hundred bucks.

00:30:30.555 --> 00:30:32.576
Plus if you now here's the fun part.

00:30:33.646 --> 00:30:35.627
Some of that money goes to state chapters.

00:30:35.827 --> 00:30:38.048
So like the state chapters benefit

00:30:38.088 --> 00:30:39.588
financially because like, hey,

00:30:39.628 --> 00:30:40.930
if you're in New York and you become

00:30:40.950 --> 00:30:41.589
an APT member,

00:30:41.609 --> 00:30:42.851
you're automatically an APT New York

00:30:42.871 --> 00:30:43.070
member.

00:30:43.270 --> 00:30:45.132
The struggle is if you're APT in New

00:30:45.152 --> 00:30:45.392
York,

00:30:45.711 --> 00:30:47.992
you can't just get a member that just

00:30:48.032 --> 00:30:48.893
wants to be in New York.

00:30:48.913 --> 00:30:51.314
You have to be national to be state.

00:30:51.334 --> 00:30:52.454
So there's a double,

00:30:52.615 --> 00:30:55.395
there's a two-sided sword there for these

00:30:55.455 --> 00:30:56.175
organizations.

00:30:56.415 --> 00:30:58.176
There's flexibility and mobility.

00:31:00.153 --> 00:31:01.835
I'm pulling up a photo,

00:31:01.855 --> 00:31:03.256
a screenshot real quick.

00:31:03.296 --> 00:31:05.777
I think Jimmy's going to be surprised at

00:31:05.936 --> 00:31:09.298
the chart that ChatGPT generated.

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:11.359
But while I'm pulling this up,

00:31:11.621 --> 00:31:12.181
you guys keep talking.

00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:12.601
All right.

00:31:14.442 --> 00:31:15.883
What should a DTA do?

00:31:16.002 --> 00:31:18.483
I think their skills are size, scale,

00:31:18.585 --> 00:31:20.885
brand recognition, and structure.

00:31:20.905 --> 00:31:22.987
You have a bunch of smart people put

00:31:23.007 --> 00:31:25.468
together programs to walk people from a

00:31:25.548 --> 00:31:27.509
current state to a future state,

00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:29.730
make the future state that actual path

00:31:29.750 --> 00:31:29.891
forward.

00:31:30.191 --> 00:31:33.172
valuable to them emotionally identity and

00:31:33.311 --> 00:31:35.452
financially and then you got a shot so

00:31:35.553 --> 00:31:38.815
what is this so this is annual dues

00:31:38.855 --> 00:31:40.996
and subscriptions they combine dues and

00:31:41.016 --> 00:31:44.678
subscriptions and I mean it was up then

00:31:44.718 --> 00:31:46.898
it flat then it was up again like

00:31:47.038 --> 00:31:49.700
twenty twenty five was a big year I

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.039
would love to know what that is that's

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:52.740
an outlier I would love to see I

00:31:52.760 --> 00:31:54.221
would say you know I would love to

00:31:54.281 --> 00:31:55.741
interview someone from APTA on this the

00:31:55.942 --> 00:31:56.603
likelihood of them

00:31:57.713 --> 00:31:59.134
doing that i mean i would probably tell

00:31:59.154 --> 00:32:00.075
them not to do that if i was

00:32:00.134 --> 00:32:02.416
a pr person but like what'd you do

00:32:02.916 --> 00:32:05.278
right and what did you do and are

00:32:05.298 --> 00:32:07.619
we going to continue to do that and

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.040
was it more of those generic pdfs

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.262
circulated on the internet how many pdfs

00:32:13.282 --> 00:32:14.363
got you from x million

00:32:19.162 --> 00:32:21.242
roi it's a let's pivot just a second

00:32:21.623 --> 00:32:23.284
um i want to hear from dave about

00:32:23.403 --> 00:32:26.805
how his media is going real quick before

00:32:26.865 --> 00:32:28.605
i do that i want to share my

00:32:28.664 --> 00:32:31.306
screen with you guys and show you uh

00:32:31.506 --> 00:32:33.787
i had my biggest day yesterday

00:32:36.103 --> 00:32:37.824
Did I say that you posted something and

00:32:37.844 --> 00:32:39.125
then like the next morning it made you

00:32:39.144 --> 00:32:39.944
four thousand dollars?

00:32:39.964 --> 00:32:42.905
Is that what you posted?

00:32:43.086 --> 00:32:45.227
It was a month, right?

00:32:46.028 --> 00:32:48.268
September has been the biggest month

00:32:48.868 --> 00:32:51.369
generating four thousand in ad revenue

00:32:51.490 --> 00:32:54.871
from share a screen from Facebook.

00:32:55.570 --> 00:32:58.132
But here is I'm just going to show

00:32:58.152 --> 00:33:00.093
you guys a couple of photos.

00:33:01.374 --> 00:33:02.993
I knew this was going to do well.

00:33:03.335 --> 00:33:04.095
Let's pull it up.

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:06.820
If you guys look at this,

00:33:08.181 --> 00:33:11.563
that Barbie total knee replacement deal,

00:33:12.583 --> 00:33:13.763
I don't know how I never thought of

00:33:13.804 --> 00:33:14.364
this before,

00:33:14.483 --> 00:33:16.444
partly because I'm scared to get sued by

00:33:16.585 --> 00:33:17.246
Hasbro.

00:33:18.405 --> 00:33:20.267
Half a million views in like,

00:33:20.346 --> 00:33:21.287
twelve hours.

00:33:21.607 --> 00:33:22.488
G.I.

00:33:22.528 --> 00:33:25.068
Joe, like two thousand views.

00:33:26.170 --> 00:33:27.150
Nobody cares about G.I.

00:33:27.390 --> 00:33:27.630
Joe.

00:33:27.650 --> 00:33:30.092
I think it represents something here.

00:33:31.601 --> 00:33:32.781
Can I give you an idea to play

00:33:32.862 --> 00:33:33.522
off of in this challenge?

00:33:33.542 --> 00:33:34.323
All right.

00:33:34.903 --> 00:33:36.444
So I want you to do a subsection

00:33:36.484 --> 00:33:38.026
of your of your channels.

00:33:38.385 --> 00:33:39.707
And I want you to sort of borrow

00:33:39.747 --> 00:33:41.449
the imaging from a little company called

00:33:41.929 --> 00:33:42.710
OnlyFans.

00:33:43.150 --> 00:33:44.171
But it's going to be I want you

00:33:44.191 --> 00:33:44.590
to shift.

00:33:44.711 --> 00:33:46.153
I thought you were going to say Disney,

00:33:46.173 --> 00:33:46.633
but go ahead.

00:33:46.893 --> 00:33:47.353
No,

00:33:47.394 --> 00:33:48.755
I want you to shift from knees to

00:33:48.894 --> 00:33:49.234
feet.

00:33:49.555 --> 00:33:50.375
And for like a week,

00:33:50.415 --> 00:33:51.676
I want you to do only feet.

00:33:52.135 --> 00:33:53.757
yeah it's about feet because i think

00:33:53.777 --> 00:33:55.416
you're gonna get a lot of weird crossover

00:33:55.477 --> 00:33:56.917
audience but hey man attention is

00:33:56.938 --> 00:33:59.679
attention why not only knees why not only

00:33:59.699 --> 00:34:02.119
knees only knees there you go see we're

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:03.740
back to the middle i like it so

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:06.320
real quick that uh adhesive dermatitis

00:34:06.361 --> 00:34:08.362
half a million views i've shared that

00:34:08.442 --> 00:34:10.922
video that photo or a version of that

00:34:10.963 --> 00:34:13.804
photo at least ten times and every time

00:34:13.864 --> 00:34:16.005
it's good for half a million to three

00:34:16.045 --> 00:34:16.824
million views

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:21.320
But then also this,

00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:23.422
this little comparison on the top right,

00:34:23.661 --> 00:34:25.402
bow legs versus straight legs.

00:34:26.043 --> 00:34:27.885
I think that one crossed a million views

00:34:27.945 --> 00:34:29.085
in twenty four hours.

00:34:29.186 --> 00:34:30.987
It generated a couple hundred dollars.

00:34:32.728 --> 00:34:32.967
You know,

00:34:33.027 --> 00:34:37.289
and these are basically just like real

00:34:37.309 --> 00:34:40.231
photos that I generate to modify and

00:34:40.251 --> 00:34:40.751
change.

00:34:41.273 --> 00:34:42.833
Some of them are my real photos.

00:34:42.873 --> 00:34:44.855
Some of them are photos I've harvested off

00:34:44.894 --> 00:34:45.434
the Internet.

00:34:45.454 --> 00:34:46.295
Yeah.

00:34:46.335 --> 00:34:47.135
The interwebs.

00:34:49.085 --> 00:34:50.186
One that just popped for me,

00:34:50.266 --> 00:34:51.487
I don't know if you guys saw this,

00:34:51.527 --> 00:34:53.068
I think Dave might have commented on it,

00:34:53.588 --> 00:34:55.010
was I did an image of a pie

00:34:55.050 --> 00:34:56.891
chart, but it was just one thing.

00:34:57.032 --> 00:35:00.054
It was what people think PT is,

00:35:00.134 --> 00:35:02.655
and I just put exercise, one thing.

00:35:02.996 --> 00:35:04.217
And then, of course, I did the after,

00:35:04.257 --> 00:35:05.317
what PT actually is,

00:35:05.356 --> 00:35:07.219
and I showed it's this, it's this,

00:35:07.278 --> 00:35:08.018
it's this, it's this.

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:08.579
Now,

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:10.101
I'm aiming at a different audience than

00:35:10.121 --> 00:35:10.581
Tony is.

00:35:10.621 --> 00:35:11.681
Tony wants to talk to you.

00:35:12.574 --> 00:35:13.653
people with knee replacements or the

00:35:13.693 --> 00:35:14.653
general problem, right?

00:35:14.693 --> 00:35:16.875
It's a big total of tan or total

00:35:17.215 --> 00:35:18.094
addressable market.

00:35:18.375 --> 00:35:19.835
Mine's a little more constricted for just

00:35:19.875 --> 00:35:21.996
PTs, but I'm aiming at identity.

00:35:22.536 --> 00:35:24.235
So when Tony shows before and after of

00:35:24.295 --> 00:35:24.735
knees,

00:35:25.077 --> 00:35:27.436
people who've had knee issues identify

00:35:27.456 --> 00:35:27.797
with that.

00:35:27.836 --> 00:35:29.056
That's why it's good for half a million

00:35:29.097 --> 00:35:29.456
views.

00:35:30.056 --> 00:35:31.177
I'm trying to tap into something

00:35:31.217 --> 00:35:31.557
different,

00:35:31.597 --> 00:35:33.577
but we're using the same tactics.

00:35:33.898 --> 00:35:35.719
We're just aiming at different audiences.

00:35:35.978 --> 00:35:37.378
So our images change.

00:35:38.516 --> 00:35:42.697
so yesterday this will probably go up just

00:35:42.737 --> 00:35:45.199
a little bit more yesterday i hit almost

00:35:45.259 --> 00:35:48.039
three million views in a day and the

00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.222
carryover from yesterday on a twenty four

00:35:51.262 --> 00:35:54.023
hour you know cycle let me get this

00:35:55.204 --> 00:35:57.525
i'm already at six hundred thousand views

00:35:57.565 --> 00:36:00.025
today and i haven't published anything

00:36:00.065 --> 00:36:02.206
today you haven't even had breakfast yet

00:36:02.724 --> 00:36:05.246
Can I ask you a tactic question?

00:36:05.626 --> 00:36:05.885
Yeah.

00:36:06.385 --> 00:36:08.507
So here's something I do because, again,

00:36:08.646 --> 00:36:10.288
I'm working with a smaller audience.

00:36:11.068 --> 00:36:12.349
An image that pops,

00:36:12.789 --> 00:36:14.289
do you go into that image,

00:36:14.690 --> 00:36:15.929
click on the likes,

00:36:16.530 --> 00:36:18.851
and then invite everybody who's liked it

00:36:19.050 --> 00:36:20.271
to follow your page?

00:36:20.958 --> 00:36:23.161
i don't do it often enough i might

00:36:23.202 --> 00:36:25.483
might do it once in a month once

00:36:25.503 --> 00:36:29.568
in every other month um again it's it's

00:36:29.668 --> 00:36:31.170
i focus my time on where i get

00:36:31.190 --> 00:36:34.054
the biggest return i think facebook limits

00:36:34.074 --> 00:36:37.438
you to fifty people like fifty invites and

00:36:37.978 --> 00:36:39.780
i i can okay well i don't i

00:36:41.186 --> 00:36:43.088
I think it might limit you for just

00:36:43.148 --> 00:36:44.369
inviting random people.

00:36:44.449 --> 00:36:45.931
I think if they let me do as

00:36:45.971 --> 00:36:47.711
many as I want, if you like,

00:36:48.012 --> 00:36:49.574
that's sort of the permission marketing

00:36:49.713 --> 00:36:50.594
idea with Seth Gooden.

00:36:50.614 --> 00:36:52.615
It's like you've stepped halfway forward.

00:36:52.835 --> 00:36:53.797
I can now invite you.

00:36:53.817 --> 00:36:56.838
But I got to be honest, Tony,

00:36:56.898 --> 00:36:58.681
I don't even think you follow my page

00:36:58.701 --> 00:37:00.242
because whenever I click and you like

00:37:00.282 --> 00:37:00.681
everything,

00:37:01.222 --> 00:37:02.943
your little invite thing is grayed out

00:37:02.963 --> 00:37:04.485
because I invited you like ten years ago.

00:37:05.663 --> 00:37:06.202
This is true.

00:37:06.222 --> 00:37:07.023
I might not.

00:37:07.063 --> 00:37:12.405
But I think I'm accumulating like,

00:37:12.525 --> 00:37:14.626
ten thousand followers a month or

00:37:14.666 --> 00:37:15.527
something like that right now.

00:37:15.547 --> 00:37:15.927
Not even doing that?

00:37:15.947 --> 00:37:16.007
Wow.

00:37:16.027 --> 00:37:16.869
Yeah.

00:37:17.369 --> 00:37:20.990
You don't need that tactic.

00:37:21.010 --> 00:37:21.090
I do.

00:37:21.110 --> 00:37:21.291
You don't.

00:37:21.311 --> 00:37:21.391
Okay.

00:37:21.411 --> 00:37:22.130
So I'm just looking.

00:37:22.190 --> 00:37:23.492
Over the last twenty-eight days,

00:37:23.552 --> 00:37:25.612
I've had eight thousand followers join and

00:37:25.652 --> 00:37:28.134
that's down seventeen percent from the

00:37:28.173 --> 00:37:29.014
previous month.

00:37:31.034 --> 00:37:31.675
I would say the total.

00:37:32.927 --> 00:37:34.449
Last thing, I would say to Tony, hey,

00:37:34.489 --> 00:37:34.648
listen,

00:37:34.688 --> 00:37:37.449
if you're getting that organically,

00:37:37.530 --> 00:37:38.610
pay an intern to be like,

00:37:38.650 --> 00:37:40.632
your job is to go into every image

00:37:40.771 --> 00:37:43.132
and invite everybody who likes it to

00:37:43.172 --> 00:37:44.514
follow because you're thinking,

00:37:44.914 --> 00:37:46.255
if I can get one person,

00:37:46.335 --> 00:37:47.594
how many one people do I need to

00:37:47.614 --> 00:37:48.715
make an extra dollar?

00:37:48.976 --> 00:37:50.097
Because now that person is going to be

00:37:50.137 --> 00:37:51.818
delivered that content faster.

00:37:53.538 --> 00:37:55.659
Dave, how's the media going?

00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.820
Today is the first day of your media

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:59.762
challenge, but you've been doing it.

00:37:59.782 --> 00:38:00.402
So what's new?

00:38:01.550 --> 00:38:03.311
It's a good nudge for me to increase

00:38:03.771 --> 00:38:04.192
volume.

00:38:04.271 --> 00:38:06.731
It's really just coming down to posting

00:38:07.313 --> 00:38:09.672
the content that I already have, but no,

00:38:09.693 --> 00:38:10.373
it's going well.

00:38:10.552 --> 00:38:12.914
And a little bit more on the video

00:38:12.934 --> 00:38:13.594
you were talking about.

00:38:13.673 --> 00:38:14.474
So yeah,

00:38:14.594 --> 00:38:16.054
I just figure like anytime that there's

00:38:16.815 --> 00:38:17.695
something that you can,

00:38:17.775 --> 00:38:20.416
it makes it easier to create content from

00:38:20.576 --> 00:38:21.335
something that occurs.

00:38:21.376 --> 00:38:23.597
Like let's just do that too, right?

00:38:23.617 --> 00:38:25.157
So like the previous videos that I did

00:38:25.177 --> 00:38:26.777
about like the one-star Google reviews

00:38:26.797 --> 00:38:27.197
that we got,

00:38:27.938 --> 00:38:28.898
And then on TikTok,

00:38:29.099 --> 00:38:30.300
the video that you guys were referencing

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:32.902
at the top of the show, someone,

00:38:33.282 --> 00:38:34.784
this guy, David had just commented.

00:38:34.963 --> 00:38:36.284
It was a video I'm talking,

00:38:36.326 --> 00:38:36.985
I'm recording it.

00:38:37.447 --> 00:38:38.447
And it was my therapist, Dr.

00:38:38.467 --> 00:38:40.108
Ethan Berger in front of like the anatomy

00:38:40.168 --> 00:38:40.469
chart.

00:38:40.509 --> 00:38:43.692
And he was describing core is important

00:38:43.771 --> 00:38:46.253
and all that for overhead athletes.

00:38:46.614 --> 00:38:47.956
But so this guy, David commented,

00:38:48.817 --> 00:38:50.077
his comment just said, Ethan,

00:38:51.364 --> 00:38:51.925
it's Ethan.

00:38:52.425 --> 00:38:53.987
And obviously it means like, you know,

00:38:54.007 --> 00:38:57.391
that we shouldn't be random guy on the

00:38:57.411 --> 00:39:00.115
internet with whatever, whatever account.

00:39:00.715 --> 00:39:02.057
I was just saying that basically like,

00:39:02.538 --> 00:39:04.079
you know, we're, we're not like,

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:05.402
he's not a doctor or whatever.

00:39:05.802 --> 00:39:07.844
And so one minute below, I was like,

00:39:08.585 --> 00:39:09.626
Hey David, uh,

00:39:10.137 --> 00:39:10.436
you know,

00:39:10.476 --> 00:39:11.757
thanks for your comment or whatever, but,

00:39:12.038 --> 00:39:12.918
um,

00:39:12.958 --> 00:39:14.918
we both have our doctor of physical

00:39:14.938 --> 00:39:15.619
therapy degree.

00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:17.199
That's literally,

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:18.900
I'm looking at it right now.

00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:21.500
What's on our diploma, doctor of therapy.

00:39:22.141 --> 00:39:22.380
Um,

00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:23.721
we never claim or say that we're

00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.021
physicians or MDs or medical doctors or

00:39:26.041 --> 00:39:26.601
anything like that.

00:39:27.161 --> 00:39:30.163
And that we also did, uh, gross anatomy,

00:39:30.242 --> 00:39:32.164
cadaver dissection from people that

00:39:32.204 --> 00:39:34.123
donated their bodies to science for,

00:39:34.503 --> 00:39:35.485
you know, a semester or two.

00:39:36.344 --> 00:39:36.405
Uh,

00:39:38.061 --> 00:39:38.742
So like,

00:39:39.021 --> 00:39:40.943
so I commented that and then I thought,

00:39:41.603 --> 00:39:42.925
I think it's a good idea to screenshot

00:39:42.945 --> 00:39:43.224
this.

00:39:43.304 --> 00:39:44.686
And then I did like the green screen

00:39:45.226 --> 00:39:47.608
overlay of my head talking about this,

00:39:48.329 --> 00:39:49.010
about the comment.

00:39:49.471 --> 00:39:51.751
And I'm pointing to the comment and not

00:39:51.791 --> 00:39:52.293
that, you know,

00:39:52.373 --> 00:39:53.893
definitely not getting any amount of views

00:39:53.914 --> 00:39:54.655
like Tony gets,

00:39:55.074 --> 00:39:56.556
but it definitely got a little bit more

00:39:56.596 --> 00:39:58.057
views than some of my other stuff or

00:39:58.398 --> 00:39:59.518
most of my other clinical stuff.

00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:01.079
Ballpark,

00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:02.460
how much time it took you to go

00:40:02.501 --> 00:40:05.182
from idea to completed piece of content

00:40:05.204 --> 00:40:06.023
with the green screen video?

00:40:06.043 --> 00:40:06.224
Ballpark.

00:40:08.766 --> 00:40:10.728
Two hours, maybe five minutes.

00:40:11.288 --> 00:40:12.449
Yeah, I want people to hear that.

00:40:12.548 --> 00:40:14.791
Like they're thinking, did you script it?

00:40:14.831 --> 00:40:16.152
And did you have to buy a green

00:40:16.192 --> 00:40:16.472
screen?

00:40:16.532 --> 00:40:17.012
No kids,

00:40:17.052 --> 00:40:18.873
these are tools that are available on your

00:40:18.893 --> 00:40:20.175
little Google box that's in your hand

00:40:20.255 --> 00:40:20.596
right now.

00:40:21.501 --> 00:40:21.621
Yeah.

00:40:21.681 --> 00:40:23.503
And so you got to use I think

00:40:23.523 --> 00:40:25.143
you have to or you would want to

00:40:25.282 --> 00:40:27.784
use the edits app that is from Facebook

00:40:27.824 --> 00:40:30.844
or Instagram because that doing a green

00:40:30.884 --> 00:40:33.224
screen overlay of yourself talking about

00:40:33.304 --> 00:40:34.644
it could be any it could be any

00:40:34.664 --> 00:40:35.025
screenshot.

00:40:35.045 --> 00:40:37.425
It could be the abstract of a research

00:40:37.485 --> 00:40:37.806
article.

00:40:37.865 --> 00:40:40.266
It could be an overlay of a knee

00:40:40.286 --> 00:40:41.166
replacement that, you know,

00:40:41.206 --> 00:40:42.487
is red and infected, like whatever,

00:40:42.728 --> 00:40:43.047
anything.

00:40:44.547 --> 00:40:47.469
It used to be native inside the Instagram

00:40:47.570 --> 00:40:47.731
app.

00:40:47.811 --> 00:40:49.132
And now it's not in there anymore.

00:40:49.472 --> 00:40:50.293
Months ago, it wasn't in there.

00:40:50.313 --> 00:40:50.873
I couldn't find it.

00:40:50.893 --> 00:40:52.014
And then I had to find online like,

00:40:52.134 --> 00:40:52.253
oh,

00:40:52.393 --> 00:40:53.554
you actually have to download the edits

00:40:53.594 --> 00:40:53.715
app.

00:40:53.735 --> 00:40:54.556
And I was like, oh, right.

00:40:54.635 --> 00:40:56.297
Jimmy said this already like a month ago.

00:40:56.398 --> 00:40:57.539
Download the edits app, right?

00:40:57.579 --> 00:40:59.260
So the green screen ability,

00:40:59.960 --> 00:41:00.920
you do it through edits app.

00:41:00.981 --> 00:41:02.842
And then you do get some benefits of

00:41:03.023 --> 00:41:05.045
using the edits app because then you can

00:41:05.144 --> 00:41:08.186
easily look in the app and see how

00:41:09.047 --> 00:41:10.389
are all your videos performing.

00:41:10.509 --> 00:41:12.230
You could search them based off of

00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:13.972
impressions and views and all that.

00:41:14.431 --> 00:41:15.393
So it gives you some data.

00:41:15.592 --> 00:41:17.655
Maybe it's like an extra step,

00:41:17.695 --> 00:41:19.615
but like you just hit download.

00:41:19.715 --> 00:41:20.396
I hit download.

00:41:20.836 --> 00:41:22.458
Once I'm done doing the video and the

00:41:22.498 --> 00:41:22.818
edits app,

00:41:22.838 --> 00:41:24.280
I hit download so I can post that

00:41:24.300 --> 00:41:24.820
to TikTok.

00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:26.661
And then I'll also hit the Instagram

00:41:26.681 --> 00:41:27.822
button from the edits app.

00:41:27.902 --> 00:41:29.804
It opens it up into the Instagram app

00:41:29.824 --> 00:41:30.965
and then I can just do the caption

00:41:30.985 --> 00:41:31.945
and then post it and be done with

00:41:31.985 --> 00:41:32.106
it.

00:41:32.947 --> 00:41:34.527
Yeah, that data, I'd be honest with you,

00:41:34.547 --> 00:41:37.431
is I'll use the edits app to publish,

00:41:37.831 --> 00:41:40.413
even if I make it in captions for

00:41:40.432 --> 00:41:41.753
that data and insight.

00:41:41.813 --> 00:41:42.715
Like it's just...

00:41:43.570 --> 00:41:45.451
The juice is well worth the squeeze.

00:41:45.711 --> 00:41:47.952
I do love when the influencers on

00:41:48.012 --> 00:41:48.753
Instagram are like,

00:41:49.213 --> 00:41:50.795
Instagram just released a new hack.

00:41:50.894 --> 00:41:51.255
And I'm like,

00:41:51.375 --> 00:41:52.876
Instagram is literally screaming these

00:41:52.916 --> 00:41:54.257
hacks from the rooftops.

00:41:54.438 --> 00:41:55.918
But yeah, that's a great content, right?

00:41:55.998 --> 00:41:56.878
It's a great content.

00:41:57.099 --> 00:41:58.260
I found a trick in Instagram.

00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.822
The dude in charge of Instagram did a

00:42:00.842 --> 00:42:02.882
live stream about this thing that they

00:42:02.963 --> 00:42:04.403
added, and they're telling you to use it.

00:42:04.525 --> 00:42:06.106
But if you frame it as a hack,

00:42:06.445 --> 00:42:07.927
our brains are wired to think it's a

00:42:07.987 --> 00:42:09.347
sneaky thing, and that's a good thing.

00:42:11.108 --> 00:42:11.869
So that's interesting.

00:42:11.909 --> 00:42:13.268
I've never used the edits app.

00:42:15.409 --> 00:42:17.949
But yes, two days ago now,

00:42:18.150 --> 00:42:18.710
two days ago,

00:42:18.931 --> 00:42:22.391
I was doing the second live module for

00:42:22.431 --> 00:42:23.652
the October challenge.

00:42:24.351 --> 00:42:25.572
And I showed people on my phone.

00:42:25.592 --> 00:42:27.152
I was like, look, here's the video.

00:42:27.172 --> 00:42:28.713
This is the video that I recorded.

00:42:28.873 --> 00:42:29.952
I'm going to open Instagram,

00:42:29.992 --> 00:42:31.032
just native Instagram.

00:42:31.733 --> 00:42:32.693
I upload the video.

00:42:33.253 --> 00:42:33.833
I trim it.

00:42:34.574 --> 00:42:35.994
I post the video.

00:42:36.594 --> 00:42:39.155
I post a screenshot from the video.

00:42:39.835 --> 00:42:43.297
I post a social media,

00:42:43.396 --> 00:42:46.177
which Jimmy took my template and ran with

00:42:46.237 --> 00:42:46.376
it.

00:42:47.038 --> 00:42:51.139
What looks like old Twitter X kind of

00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:51.579
post.

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:53.539
So three pieces of content,

00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:54.760
and I'm looking at it right now.

00:42:54.820 --> 00:42:56.940
This was posted September twenty ninth at

00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.521
seven fifty one p.m.

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:01.983
seven fifty one seven forty eight seven

00:43:02.262 --> 00:43:05.905
forty seven and collectively they've got

00:43:06.664 --> 00:43:10.507
eighty like ninety five thousand views you

00:43:10.527 --> 00:43:12.507
know and like dave was saying i mean

00:43:12.588 --> 00:43:15.829
it just took three three minutes i'm

00:43:15.849 --> 00:43:17.451
looking at the time stamps right now to

00:43:17.471 --> 00:43:20.072
get those three pieces of content from one

00:43:20.112 --> 00:43:23.614
piece of content dave did a reaction video

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:27.222
Those do incredibly well for multiple

00:43:27.242 --> 00:43:27.762
channels.

00:43:28.242 --> 00:43:30.344
Like you get one video clip,

00:43:30.364 --> 00:43:31.485
and I think this is what people don't

00:43:31.525 --> 00:43:32.105
understand.

00:43:32.846 --> 00:43:33.887
One video clip,

00:43:34.507 --> 00:43:36.909
Dave has gotten multiple pieces of content

00:43:37.009 --> 00:43:38.090
out of it so far.

00:43:38.510 --> 00:43:39.289
And even for me,

00:43:39.451 --> 00:43:41.731
I go back to two thousand twenty four,

00:43:41.771 --> 00:43:42.913
two thousand twenty five.

00:43:42.992 --> 00:43:44.094
I find those clips.

00:43:44.594 --> 00:43:45.675
I pull them forward.

00:43:46.155 --> 00:43:47.315
I put new captions.

00:43:47.755 --> 00:43:48.896
Maybe I do a voiceover.

00:43:48.936 --> 00:43:50.197
Maybe I do a green screen.

00:43:50.257 --> 00:43:51.659
Maybe I show the original one,

00:43:51.699 --> 00:43:53.960
just cut and edited a little differently.

00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:57.360
huge value in that library,

00:43:57.380 --> 00:43:59.342
that bank of content,

00:44:00.422 --> 00:44:02.083
how much at your best guess,

00:44:02.123 --> 00:44:04.465
how much content do you already have

00:44:04.746 --> 00:44:06.788
collected that you could potentially

00:44:06.827 --> 00:44:07.929
repurpose down the road?

00:44:09.380 --> 00:44:10.300
Oh, total?

00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:12.001
Yeah.

00:44:12.021 --> 00:44:12.922
Like total pieces?

00:44:13.342 --> 00:44:14.083
Total pieces.

00:44:14.702 --> 00:44:16.563
I mean, probably a hundred at least.

00:44:16.923 --> 00:44:17.364
I mean,

00:44:17.403 --> 00:44:18.804
maybe not as much as you because you

00:44:19.085 --> 00:44:20.606
have done this for years and you have

00:44:20.626 --> 00:44:22.487
a whole bunch of images and videos and

00:44:22.507 --> 00:44:22.726
all that.

00:44:23.128 --> 00:44:23.407
Actually,

00:44:23.927 --> 00:44:25.048
if you're taking a video and I could

00:44:25.068 --> 00:44:26.188
take screenshots from the video, I mean,

00:44:26.208 --> 00:44:27.690
then it's like five hundred or a thousand.

00:44:27.710 --> 00:44:28.971
I mean, it's like limitless.

00:44:29.648 --> 00:44:32.291
A video is thirty frames a second.

00:44:33.393 --> 00:44:35.998
There's an infinite supply of stills that

00:44:36.038 --> 00:44:36.759
you could pull.

00:44:36.940 --> 00:44:39.804
And now with ChatGPT or any of the

00:44:39.864 --> 00:44:40.625
image models,

00:44:41.186 --> 00:44:43.289
you could take that still like multiple

00:44:43.329 --> 00:44:44.190
times, I'll say.

00:44:44.952 --> 00:44:46.012
Process this photo.

00:44:46.112 --> 00:44:46.974
It's my photo.

00:44:47.034 --> 00:44:48.016
Process this photo.

00:44:48.436 --> 00:44:50.579
Change the person's shorts from red to

00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:50.938
black.

00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:53.983
Change the flooring from wood to carpet.

00:44:54.402 --> 00:44:55.364
Change the lighting.

00:44:57.126 --> 00:44:58.628
Make this woman into a man,

00:44:58.668 --> 00:45:00.971
but preserve the element of the knee and

00:45:00.990 --> 00:45:02.432
the incision and things like that.

00:45:03.112 --> 00:45:05.135
I have a virtually infinite supply.

00:45:06.086 --> 00:45:07.608
Can you let Jimmy back in the studio?

00:45:07.648 --> 00:45:08.329
He just texted me.

00:45:08.449 --> 00:45:09.990
He's not able to get back in.

00:45:10.010 --> 00:45:12.373
But yeah, I know that.

00:45:12.393 --> 00:45:13.393
I don't know if the folks know that.

00:45:13.434 --> 00:45:14.014
But yeah, Tony,

00:45:14.034 --> 00:45:17.177
you have an infinite supply of content,

00:45:17.318 --> 00:45:19.460
of images, a ton of videos.

00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:21.342
And then you can grab images from those

00:45:21.362 --> 00:45:22.483
videos.

00:45:22.523 --> 00:45:23.744
It's a good reminder because I think a

00:45:23.784 --> 00:45:25.286
lot of PTs probably have a lot of

00:45:25.306 --> 00:45:26.608
that content already sitting on their

00:45:26.628 --> 00:45:26.807
phone.

00:45:26.847 --> 00:45:27.809
I think that's the point you're trying to

00:45:27.849 --> 00:45:28.028
make.

00:45:28.048 --> 00:45:28.630
Puns.

00:45:29.269 --> 00:45:31.271
Can I talk about the one reason,

00:45:31.351 --> 00:45:33.192
the largest reason that people who

00:45:33.311 --> 00:45:36.413
actually even listen to us, agree with us,

00:45:36.893 --> 00:45:38.092
believe us,

00:45:38.594 --> 00:45:40.434
will not actually take on this free

00:45:40.454 --> 00:45:40.934
challenge?

00:45:40.974 --> 00:45:41.875
Do you want to know what the reason

00:45:41.894 --> 00:45:41.934
is?

00:45:41.974 --> 00:45:42.175
Yes.

00:45:42.795 --> 00:45:42.994
What?

00:45:43.054 --> 00:45:43.315
Fear.

00:45:43.675 --> 00:45:46.777
I would say number one reason is fear.

00:45:46.797 --> 00:45:47.976
I have to prepare too much.

00:45:48.016 --> 00:45:48.958
I don't want to look bad.

00:45:49.958 --> 00:45:51.137
I'm going to do something.

00:45:51.177 --> 00:45:51.938
It's going to flop.

00:45:52.838 --> 00:45:55.420
It'll be fear and inaction.

00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:57.661
And I want to say to those people...

00:45:58.322 --> 00:46:00.103
When you are done, or how about this?

00:46:00.163 --> 00:46:01.222
When people are done,

00:46:01.523 --> 00:46:02.423
we will interview them.

00:46:02.523 --> 00:46:04.965
Let's bring three people who actually go

00:46:05.005 --> 00:46:06.125
ahead and complete the challenge.

00:46:06.646 --> 00:46:08.527
And they will say, verbatim,

00:46:09.786 --> 00:46:10.987
way easier than I thought it was going

00:46:11.007 --> 00:46:11.188
to be.

00:46:11.228 --> 00:46:12.188
I thought it was going to be way

00:46:12.228 --> 00:46:13.409
harder and way scarier.

00:46:13.628 --> 00:46:15.869
That's the biggest compliment that you can

00:46:15.889 --> 00:46:18.530
give if you're a dentist or a skydive

00:46:18.550 --> 00:46:19.130
instructor.

00:46:19.471 --> 00:46:20.871
Something where people have high fear,

00:46:20.891 --> 00:46:21.552
high stress.

00:46:21.833 --> 00:46:23.092
When they walk out and they go,

00:46:23.112 --> 00:46:24.273
that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought

00:46:24.293 --> 00:46:25.253
it was going to be.

00:46:25.273 --> 00:46:26.655
Man, I was putting that off for years,

00:46:26.815 --> 00:46:27.034
right?

00:46:27.833 --> 00:46:29.155
That will be the reason they don't do

00:46:29.215 --> 00:46:29.335
it.

00:46:29.835 --> 00:46:30.476
If you do,

00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:33.442
I guarantee you will say that was easier,

00:46:33.623 --> 00:46:34.063
worth it,

00:46:34.684 --> 00:46:35.965
than I thought it was going to be.

00:46:36.186 --> 00:46:39.652
But most people won't do it for that

00:46:39.693 --> 00:46:41.034
simple reason, psychology.

00:46:41.974 --> 00:46:43.335
I think fear is part of it.

00:46:43.436 --> 00:46:46.539
I want to hear from Dave because this

00:46:46.579 --> 00:46:48.541
is fundamentally what we do every day as

00:46:48.601 --> 00:46:50.402
physical therapists is we get people to

00:46:50.483 --> 00:46:52.385
exercise who don't normally exercise.

00:46:53.106 --> 00:46:55.327
Fear even in that is an element.

00:46:55.427 --> 00:46:56.668
Insecurity is an element.

00:46:56.688 --> 00:46:57.710
There's other elements.

00:46:58.210 --> 00:47:01.536
um so it's one thing to identify and

00:47:01.576 --> 00:47:03.798
dave do you agree or disagree is it

00:47:03.838 --> 00:47:06.963
fear is it lack of resources is it

00:47:07.003 --> 00:47:10.367
some other family life other obstacles

00:47:10.728 --> 00:47:12.672
that's keeping people from doing it

00:47:13.021 --> 00:47:14.242
Family life is still fear.

00:47:14.601 --> 00:47:15.463
Family life is still fear.

00:47:15.483 --> 00:47:16.103
Just to clarify,

00:47:16.222 --> 00:47:18.164
I'm afraid that this isn't worth it.

00:47:18.184 --> 00:47:19.704
I'm afraid I'll do these ten push-ups,

00:47:19.965 --> 00:47:21.447
but the ROI won't show.

00:47:21.467 --> 00:47:22.206
That's still fear.

00:47:22.266 --> 00:47:24.289
It's a base of my fear.

00:47:24.548 --> 00:47:25.989
I think there is a lot of fear

00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:26.550
with,

00:47:26.690 --> 00:47:28.791
because I feel like I've felt this before,

00:47:28.891 --> 00:47:31.273
where now that I was doing

00:47:32.173 --> 00:47:34.355
patient-client-focused content,

00:47:34.375 --> 00:47:35.255
and even the captions,

00:47:35.335 --> 00:47:36.577
I'll kind of write them in a certain

00:47:36.657 --> 00:47:38.797
way where I do want it to resonate

00:47:38.818 --> 00:47:41.440
with the ideal client, but I'm also like,

00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:42.521
sometimes I feel like,

00:47:43.260 --> 00:47:44.702
What would other, you know,

00:47:44.722 --> 00:47:46.125
what would other therapists say about

00:47:46.184 --> 00:47:46.385
this?

00:47:46.425 --> 00:47:48.246
Because I also don't want to,

00:47:48.266 --> 00:47:50.268
because a lot of other therapists refer to

00:47:50.329 --> 00:47:50.869
us, right, Tony?

00:47:50.909 --> 00:47:51.309
So it's like,

00:47:51.570 --> 00:47:53.652
there is a monetary thing of like, like,

00:47:53.672 --> 00:47:54.293
for example,

00:47:54.653 --> 00:47:57.157
maybe we'll say now I'm saying the word

00:47:57.177 --> 00:47:59.358
like overcome or resolve a little bit more

00:47:59.378 --> 00:48:01.081
than fix, like fix your back pain.

00:48:01.141 --> 00:48:02.262
I'm still saying fix your back pain,

00:48:02.362 --> 00:48:02.543
but...

00:48:03.905 --> 00:48:06.007
resolve resolve your back pain or or

00:48:06.067 --> 00:48:07.989
address physical therapy now with the

00:48:08.048 --> 00:48:09.650
second location in florida new york their

00:48:09.670 --> 00:48:11.211
first location serving the residents of

00:48:11.291 --> 00:48:12.672
monk oh is this hot is this a

00:48:12.713 --> 00:48:17.818
growth ad or a hiring ad yeah you're

00:48:17.858 --> 00:48:19.478
not focusing the reason we do a live

00:48:19.498 --> 00:48:21.721
stream is we could be swimming in free

00:48:21.740 --> 00:48:24.643
t-shirts just hey if you're a clinic send

00:48:24.664 --> 00:48:26.346
us your t-shirt i'll wear it during the

00:48:26.385 --> 00:48:26.726
show

00:48:28.197 --> 00:48:29.920
We need to be swimming in sponsorships.

00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:33.061
Come on now.

00:48:33.382 --> 00:48:33.623
Jimmy,

00:48:33.643 --> 00:48:34.844
you can buy all the shirts you want

00:48:34.884 --> 00:48:35.284
after that.

00:48:35.304 --> 00:48:40.588
All right, go ahead, Dave.

00:48:40.628 --> 00:48:42.329
So where were we about?

00:48:42.811 --> 00:48:43.972
Oh, so the fear, right?

00:48:44.012 --> 00:48:45.492
So I do think it's fear.

00:48:45.552 --> 00:48:47.875
I think when we, like, for example,

00:48:47.974 --> 00:48:49.496
I posted a couple of videos of either

00:48:49.956 --> 00:48:52.099
Dr. Crystal treating me or me treating Dr.

00:48:52.139 --> 00:48:53.199
Crystal's, like, hip.

00:48:53.940 --> 00:48:55.101
And I definitely...

00:48:56.061 --> 00:48:57.963
made sure to talk in a certain way

00:48:58.043 --> 00:49:00.184
where I'm talking about like the hip

00:49:00.224 --> 00:49:02.125
mobilization and like the angle of it and

00:49:02.164 --> 00:49:02.445
all that.

00:49:02.465 --> 00:49:04.646
So like, I definitely feel like,

00:49:04.686 --> 00:49:05.007
and I just,

00:49:05.806 --> 00:49:06.867
I don't let that stop me,

00:49:07.387 --> 00:49:08.648
but I could definitely see how that would

00:49:08.688 --> 00:49:09.548
stop a lot of therapists.

00:49:09.568 --> 00:49:10.829
Like they don't want to get critiqued.

00:49:10.849 --> 00:49:12.449
They don't want to have what we've seen

00:49:12.510 --> 00:49:14.391
online before where other therapists will

00:49:14.411 --> 00:49:16.612
comment on their,

00:49:16.711 --> 00:49:17.893
one therapist will comment on another

00:49:17.932 --> 00:49:19.954
therapist video and

00:49:20.309 --> 00:49:22.050
about the therapeutic exercise or the

00:49:22.190 --> 00:49:23.650
manual therapy technique or whatever which

00:49:23.831 --> 00:49:24.811
i think it's good for us to get

00:49:24.831 --> 00:49:27.371
it out there so that the potential clients

00:49:27.411 --> 00:49:28.751
and consumers out there can see what we

00:49:28.791 --> 00:49:31.873
do but it's when other other other uh

00:49:31.992 --> 00:49:33.373
colleagues across the country that you

00:49:33.413 --> 00:49:35.793
don't know judge you or say oh that's

00:49:35.833 --> 00:49:37.134
wrong or i would do it this way

00:49:37.153 --> 00:49:38.914
or that doesn't make sense or whatever i

00:49:38.954 --> 00:49:40.773
think that is the biggest limiting factor

00:49:40.793 --> 00:49:42.715
everyone's got images and videos on their

00:49:42.755 --> 00:49:44.755
phones of some of their patients or

00:49:44.775 --> 00:49:47.016
clients and google reviews and

00:49:47.876 --> 00:49:50.336
success uh and outcomes and all that type

00:49:50.376 --> 00:49:51.916
of stuff but i definitely think fear is

00:49:51.996 --> 00:49:53.398
it i think that's the biggest thing

00:49:53.438 --> 00:49:54.918
there's no barrier to entry in terms of

00:49:54.938 --> 00:49:57.798
cost or you know the technology and the

00:49:57.878 --> 00:49:59.358
apps all that makes it makes it easy

00:49:59.398 --> 00:50:00.840
peasy it just it just fear is the

00:50:00.860 --> 00:50:02.981
biggest thing let's let jimmy do his

00:50:03.041 --> 00:50:04.800
parting shot before he gets on the plane

00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:07.621
parting shot would be the success that

00:50:07.641 --> 00:50:10.342
you're uh not achieving is hiding in the

00:50:10.382 --> 00:50:11.882
work you're not doing and we're setting it

00:50:11.922 --> 00:50:14.063
up for you it's twenty eight days do

00:50:14.083 --> 00:50:16.065
this zero dollars and if you have a

00:50:16.085 --> 00:50:17.425
problem i don't know dm one of us

00:50:18.148 --> 00:50:18.568
All right.

00:50:18.628 --> 00:50:19.387
My parting shot.

00:50:19.507 --> 00:50:21.688
I wish Jimmy would have hired two security

00:50:21.728 --> 00:50:24.010
guards to surround him while he was

00:50:24.070 --> 00:50:26.411
waiting for his plane and we could see

00:50:26.431 --> 00:50:28.291
the response of the people around him.

00:50:28.771 --> 00:50:30.731
He would have accumulated a crowd.

00:50:31.233 --> 00:50:34.333
Dave, parting shot.

00:50:34.373 --> 00:50:35.514
You got to get rid of fear.

00:50:35.673 --> 00:50:37.614
You got to get videos of your patients

00:50:37.635 --> 00:50:39.876
and clients or you yourself treating your

00:50:39.896 --> 00:50:41.215
therapist, treating each other,

00:50:41.936 --> 00:50:43.336
talking about what types of techniques

00:50:43.356 --> 00:50:44.896
you're doing, who this might help,

00:50:44.936 --> 00:50:46.177
what types of conditions that might help.

00:50:47.485 --> 00:50:48.806
Get those images and videos,

00:50:48.887 --> 00:50:49.527
especially the videos,

00:50:49.568 --> 00:50:51.751
get them out there and don't worry about

00:50:51.851 --> 00:50:53.293
what someone's going to comment because

00:50:53.313 --> 00:50:54.976
you will get some comments like me.

00:50:54.996 --> 00:50:56.038
You're going to get some comments and

00:50:56.077 --> 00:50:56.458
judgment,

00:50:56.798 --> 00:50:58.201
but the more stuff you get out there,

00:50:58.240 --> 00:50:58.561
the better.

00:50:59.621 --> 00:51:00.422
All right, guys.

00:51:00.922 --> 00:51:03.105
Scott says fear kills more dreams than

00:51:03.164 --> 00:51:04.364
failure ever will.

00:51:04.525 --> 00:51:05.326
Absolutely.

00:51:06.907 --> 00:51:07.668
October first,

00:51:08.128 --> 00:51:10.150
