big02:10.356 --> 02:12.078impact in the world of physical therapy,02:12.118 --> 02:13.380it's probably going to be02:13.400 --> 02:14.841in the world of helping pay02:14.881 --> 02:16.143student loan debt off, right?02:16.203 --> 02:17.965And showing physical02:17.985 --> 02:18.686therapists all the02:18.746 --> 02:19.807opportunities that are out02:19.827 --> 02:21.068there to ourselves to make02:21.148 --> 02:23.571money utilizing our skill sets, right?02:24.372 --> 02:26.393Well, luckily now with this new position,02:26.433 --> 02:27.574I actually get to do that02:27.634 --> 02:29.555for both professors and for students.02:29.615 --> 02:30.375I get to do a little02:30.455 --> 02:32.456research now on business02:32.517 --> 02:33.677and business acumen and02:33.717 --> 02:36.599what we're teaching in PT programs.02:37.019 --> 02:37.879So that'll be coming down02:37.920 --> 02:38.620the pipeline soon,02:38.640 --> 02:39.660which I'm pretty cool with.02:39.761 --> 02:41.281But, yeah, you know,02:41.321 --> 02:43.062the PT educator stuff has02:43.142 --> 02:44.403kind of gotten this alter ego,02:44.423 --> 02:45.804the professor of profit.02:45.824 --> 02:45.984Yeah.02:46.264 --> 02:47.505That literally teaches you02:47.605 --> 02:48.646how to make profit, right?02:48.686 --> 02:50.267How to make more money doing02:50.307 --> 02:51.228what you already do and02:51.468 --> 02:52.609essentially what you love.02:53.089 --> 02:53.450And really,02:53.470 --> 02:55.631I think I found the key to life, you know,02:55.671 --> 02:56.512which is great.02:57.473 --> 02:58.454You know, it's happiness.02:59.114 --> 03:00.275Well,03:00.575 --> 03:02.457that's – you're familiar with the03:02.537 --> 03:03.177Aika guy, right?03:03.197 --> 03:03.598Yeah, yeah.03:03.638 --> 03:04.458We talked about it a little03:04.478 --> 03:06.480bit on our last episode, you know.03:07.999 --> 03:09.481It's cliche, right?03:09.521 --> 03:12.243But like if you're seeking happiness,03:12.383 --> 03:12.643right?03:13.224 --> 03:14.765One of the ways that you can03:14.885 --> 03:17.408do that is by trying to03:17.448 --> 03:18.529become an expert and03:18.589 --> 03:20.791authority in whatever it is you love.03:21.071 --> 03:21.592Start there.03:22.032 --> 03:22.552Exactly.03:22.652 --> 03:23.894And then really it's a03:23.974 --> 03:25.275pathway toward mastery.03:26.434 --> 03:28.095That pathway and journey is03:28.155 --> 03:29.096what leads to the03:29.156 --> 03:31.718fulfillment and happiness.03:31.838 --> 03:32.739All joking aside,03:32.799 --> 03:33.900I'm the happiest I've ever03:33.960 --> 03:35.120been because I'm literally03:35.201 --> 03:36.622doing the things I love03:36.942 --> 03:38.263over and over and over on03:38.323 --> 03:39.123bigger and bigger and03:39.183 --> 03:41.425bigger scales as I do more03:41.465 --> 03:42.066and more of it.03:42.366 --> 03:44.387It's been sticking on the03:44.427 --> 03:45.148straight and narrow,03:45.208 --> 03:46.369sticking on my lane and03:46.909 --> 03:48.130you know helping people you03:48.170 --> 03:49.771know realize how we can03:49.831 --> 03:51.593make money utilizing our03:51.633 --> 03:52.974skill sets that we you know03:53.094 --> 03:54.535either learn through pt03:54.575 --> 03:55.816school or in grad school03:55.856 --> 03:56.957and it's not just like you03:56.997 --> 03:58.659know musculoskeletal stuff03:58.719 --> 04:00.140it's it's like you know04:00.260 --> 04:01.401time management and04:01.541 --> 04:03.342prioritization and you know04:03.422 --> 04:04.563time blocking and04:05.284 --> 04:06.165networking and04:06.445 --> 04:07.786communication and all these04:07.826 --> 04:08.407things that you don't04:08.427 --> 04:09.167really realize you're04:09.187 --> 04:09.908learning while you're04:09.928 --> 04:12.370learning well a couple04:12.390 --> 04:13.631things with that number one04:14.932 --> 04:18.774We, in my opinion, traditional education,04:18.874 --> 04:20.234as in you go to second grade,04:20.334 --> 04:21.355then you go to third grade,04:21.395 --> 04:23.055then you go to fourth grade, is great.04:23.916 --> 04:25.436Except when you're done,04:26.197 --> 04:28.258there's no 23rd grade, right?04:28.378 --> 04:29.658So this is where I want,04:29.838 --> 04:30.879this is where it's almost04:31.059 --> 04:31.859like the thinking out of04:31.879 --> 04:32.579the side of the box,04:32.639 --> 04:33.880which is like you can04:33.940 --> 04:34.940follow a path where you04:34.980 --> 04:37.702graduate and go work for someone.04:38.362 --> 04:40.023Now the problem, the limitation,04:40.923 --> 04:43.304the strength of that is stability, right?04:43.484 --> 04:44.445like someone else is going04:44.465 --> 04:45.586to do something and then04:45.626 --> 04:46.346you are going to be a part04:46.386 --> 04:47.647of that machine the04:47.707 --> 04:49.609downside of that is um04:50.149 --> 04:51.190staying in that position04:51.530 --> 04:52.851will have a limiting range04:53.131 --> 04:54.592unless you advance and we04:54.632 --> 04:55.433can talk about the four04:55.453 --> 04:56.614levels of value right if04:56.674 --> 04:59.196you're a doer a manager a a04:59.256 --> 05:00.477communicator and ideator05:00.577 --> 05:02.078right so those things are05:02.118 --> 05:04.760great i i i communicate it05:04.780 --> 05:06.201this way when i'm talking05:06.221 --> 05:08.002to pts shoulders and hips05:08.904 --> 05:10.229Both ball and socket joints,05:10.671 --> 05:12.458but one super stable,05:12.799 --> 05:13.683some motion in the hip.05:13.723 --> 05:14.526There's motion in the hip.05:15.438 --> 05:16.359But a lot of stability.05:16.399 --> 05:18.100That is a deep ball and socket, baby.05:18.600 --> 05:19.521That is stability.05:19.601 --> 05:21.962So I'm like, listen, go get a hip job.05:22.062 --> 05:23.843If you're a hip person and you're like,05:23.963 --> 05:25.104I want to work for someone,05:25.184 --> 05:26.205I don't want to do this05:26.245 --> 05:27.345stuff that I hear about people.05:27.365 --> 05:28.126I'll put in their own clinics.05:28.626 --> 05:29.166I don't need that.05:29.327 --> 05:30.347It's neither bad nor good.05:30.547 --> 05:31.228It's just not yours.05:31.708 --> 05:32.328So that's a hip.05:32.909 --> 05:33.789The other is a shoulder.05:34.009 --> 05:35.070Also a ball and socket joint.05:35.290 --> 05:36.651Not as deep, right?05:36.691 --> 05:39.733There's a lot of issues with it.05:40.033 --> 05:41.054Ton of mobility, though.05:42.256 --> 05:42.997Some stability.05:43.637 --> 05:44.638And then some people go,05:44.658 --> 05:45.538I don't know where I am.05:45.578 --> 05:46.098I'm in the middle.05:46.199 --> 05:46.479I'm like,05:46.519 --> 05:48.240then go get a hip job and do a05:48.300 --> 05:49.401shoulder thing on the side.05:49.801 --> 05:51.402And neither of those things are wrong,05:51.982 --> 05:52.903if they're right for you.05:53.343 --> 05:53.843I will say,05:53.883 --> 05:55.284if people haven't heard of ikigai,05:55.384 --> 05:56.385it's this Japanese,05:56.565 --> 05:57.226correct me if I'm wrong.05:57.286 --> 05:58.727I'm shooting from the hip here.05:59.367 --> 06:01.188Ikigai is this Japanese idea,06:01.388 --> 06:02.309and it's perfectly06:02.429 --> 06:05.271illustrated in a Venn diagram, which,06:05.311 --> 06:05.651by the way,06:05.671 --> 06:06.692is my favorite type of diagram.06:07.737 --> 06:10.039Four circles, right, perfectly north,06:10.099 --> 06:10.939south, east, and west,06:10.959 --> 06:13.381and they all cross over in the middle.06:13.401 --> 06:14.742It looks like a lotus flower,06:14.782 --> 06:16.023which is very Japanese.06:16.504 --> 06:17.624And the four circles stand06:17.664 --> 06:20.667for what you're good at, what you love,06:21.667 --> 06:22.888what the world needs,06:23.268 --> 06:24.409and then the fourth one I06:24.469 --> 06:25.450think healthcare providers06:25.470 --> 06:26.311have a problem with,06:26.811 --> 06:27.952what you can get paid for.06:28.432 --> 06:28.873Exactly.06:29.073 --> 06:30.534And that's not a bad thing.06:32.045 --> 06:33.767And the idea with Akigai being like,06:33.907 --> 06:35.429this is where horseshoes06:35.469 --> 06:36.250and hand grenades,06:36.890 --> 06:40.775three out of four is not as great.06:41.195 --> 06:41.856It's harder to find06:41.896 --> 06:42.597happiness because if you06:42.637 --> 06:43.998can't get paid for it, it's a hobby.06:44.419 --> 06:46.501If you don't like it, it's drudgery,06:46.921 --> 06:47.141right?06:47.162 --> 06:47.242Yeah.06:48.266 --> 06:49.307If the world doesn't need it,06:49.467 --> 06:50.727it's gonna be real lonely, but hey,06:50.767 --> 06:51.668do your thing, man.06:51.868 --> 06:52.648And what's the fourth one?06:52.668 --> 06:55.049If the world needs it, you're good at it.06:55.069 --> 06:56.090If you're not any good at it,06:56.110 --> 06:57.470I got news for you.06:57.490 --> 06:58.451I could be doing it for very long,06:58.631 --> 06:59.271or people are gonna be06:59.391 --> 07:00.112beating the path to your door.07:00.452 --> 07:01.953So finding those four things,07:02.473 --> 07:04.594and you can put a hip and a07:04.634 --> 07:05.774shoulder job together to07:05.834 --> 07:06.555find that ikigai.07:06.575 --> 07:07.795It doesn't have to be one thing.07:08.116 --> 07:08.896This is you.07:09.716 --> 07:11.197So ikigai means reason for07:11.237 --> 07:13.818being or sense of purpose07:13.858 --> 07:14.579or purpose for being.07:14.899 --> 07:15.799That's the idea is where07:15.839 --> 07:17.160those four things cross in the middle.07:17.780 --> 07:18.941And they should,07:19.902 --> 07:21.063because we all have independent,07:21.183 --> 07:22.364we have unique fingerprints,07:23.245 --> 07:23.846all those things.07:23.906 --> 07:24.566It's totally okay.07:24.586 --> 07:26.348If my Aki guy looks nothing07:26.388 --> 07:27.849like yours or if it looks07:27.889 --> 07:29.010exactly similar to yours,07:29.711 --> 07:31.913none of those things are bad or good.07:31.933 --> 07:33.514They're just, they just are.07:33.895 --> 07:34.035Yeah.07:34.926 --> 07:35.086Well,07:35.186 --> 07:37.408and so there's a couple things you07:37.428 --> 07:38.128hit on there, right,07:38.148 --> 07:39.709that we need to kind of do07:39.729 --> 07:40.610a deeper dive on,07:40.690 --> 07:42.371especially since the last time we talked,07:42.431 --> 07:42.591right?07:43.171 --> 07:44.692One of them is, like I talked about,07:44.872 --> 07:47.874having that North Star and seeking it out,07:47.914 --> 07:49.015that thing that you love07:49.035 --> 07:50.036and that you just want to07:50.176 --> 07:51.397do for the rest of your life.07:52.512 --> 07:54.333If you don't have that North Star,07:54.373 --> 07:55.194you're going to lack the07:55.274 --> 07:56.455radical clarity that it07:56.555 --> 07:57.635takes to pursue it.07:57.756 --> 07:58.796And it's the journey and the07:58.876 --> 08:00.497pursuit of that that leads08:00.557 --> 08:01.678to the happiness and that08:01.738 --> 08:02.959leads to the fulfillment.08:03.700 --> 08:05.401So you've got to figure that out first,08:05.481 --> 08:05.901right?08:06.001 --> 08:06.902That has to be.08:06.922 --> 08:08.743And it could be physical therapy.08:08.783 --> 08:09.143It could be.08:09.223 --> 08:09.704And like you said,08:09.724 --> 08:10.824you don't have to start08:10.864 --> 08:12.285your own business.08:12.325 --> 08:13.146That's not the thing.08:13.466 --> 08:13.866However,08:14.026 --> 08:15.207one of the things that we're08:15.247 --> 08:16.008starting to look at now and08:16.028 --> 08:16.928that we're talking about,08:17.729 --> 08:20.030especially on Twitter recently, was, well,08:20.050 --> 08:21.912should business be taught in PT school?08:21.932 --> 08:22.352Well, yes.08:22.773 --> 08:23.715right and I teach that08:23.775 --> 08:25.118course right so it's near08:25.158 --> 08:26.501and dear to my heart however I08:27.608 --> 08:29.189The thing that I do is I say, look,08:29.289 --> 08:31.170you don't have to start your own business,08:31.230 --> 08:32.451but at the very least,08:32.531 --> 08:33.331you have to know how08:33.412 --> 08:34.672business operates in the08:34.712 --> 08:36.193healthcare field so that08:36.233 --> 08:37.234you know how you can get08:37.294 --> 08:38.775paid or reimbursed.08:39.315 --> 08:41.636You know how to navigate and08:41.737 --> 08:44.318really be able to negotiate a contract.08:44.798 --> 08:45.759You need to know what red08:45.859 --> 08:47.060flags to run away from.08:47.500 --> 08:48.881You need to know how you can08:48.921 --> 08:50.322bring value to these08:50.402 --> 08:51.562clinics or these hospital08:51.602 --> 08:52.923systems or wherever you're working,08:52.963 --> 08:53.183right?08:54.444 --> 08:55.084And from there,08:55.204 --> 08:56.305it becomes a matter of like08:56.345 --> 08:58.465at least if I show you all08:58.505 --> 09:00.166the opportunities that are out there,09:00.786 --> 09:02.427you now have the tools to09:02.547 --> 09:03.827pick and choose what you09:03.887 --> 09:05.688think is right for you and09:06.008 --> 09:07.809your ikigai or your path, right?09:08.669 --> 09:09.449I wrote two words.09:09.549 --> 09:11.450Navigate and negotiate.09:11.610 --> 09:11.990Exactly.09:12.310 --> 09:14.531Because you're talking about business.09:15.419 --> 09:17.680And healthcare is a business.09:18.221 --> 09:19.481I'm very sorry that you went09:19.501 --> 09:20.482into healthcare and you're like,09:20.542 --> 09:21.662I didn't go into business.09:22.223 --> 09:24.684But where commerce happens is a business.09:24.824 --> 09:25.244And again,09:26.325 --> 09:28.426the range or the spectrum of09:28.486 --> 09:30.007where involved that you want to be,09:30.727 --> 09:31.468let's say someone wants to09:31.488 --> 09:32.548be on the bottom of that spectrum.09:32.729 --> 09:34.349I want to just be a clinician.09:34.570 --> 09:35.250Nothing wrong with that.09:35.630 --> 09:37.211I want nothing to do with the business.09:37.271 --> 09:37.951I don't want to figure out09:37.971 --> 09:39.372how to communicate to get more patients.09:39.712 --> 09:40.673I don't want to, nothing.09:42.172 --> 09:43.553Still understanding how it works,09:44.194 --> 09:45.715like which way gravity pulls,09:46.116 --> 09:47.437which way the wind is blowing.09:48.738 --> 09:50.359Burying your head in the sand, to me,09:50.719 --> 09:51.580is a giant mistake.09:52.461 --> 09:53.342You're not understanding that.09:53.402 --> 09:54.783You don't have the basic grasp of it.09:55.626 --> 09:55.746Yeah.09:55.806 --> 09:56.006I mean,09:56.046 --> 09:57.507if you just want to be that clock in,09:57.567 --> 09:59.308clock out nine to five physical therapist,09:59.348 --> 09:59.828that's fine.09:59.888 --> 10:00.649Nothing wrong with that.10:00.789 --> 10:01.269However,10:01.929 --> 10:03.470you still need to know how you're10:03.490 --> 10:04.331going to get paid.10:05.011 --> 10:05.231Right.10:05.331 --> 10:06.492And if what you're getting10:06.552 --> 10:07.532paid is going to be enough10:07.572 --> 10:09.413to cover your overhead and10:09.573 --> 10:10.894your basic needs and your10:10.954 --> 10:12.595loans and all the things.10:13.195 --> 10:13.395Yes.10:14.496 --> 10:16.337Because you could love a job and say, yeah,10:16.357 --> 10:17.778I clock in and clock out nine to five.10:17.838 --> 10:18.918I work with kids and I make10:18.958 --> 10:20.059fifty five thousand a year.10:20.506 --> 10:20.686Right.10:21.086 --> 10:21.346Great.10:21.787 --> 10:22.367Are you happy?10:22.427 --> 10:23.767Are you able to sustain a10:23.807 --> 10:24.828roof over your

--> 10:30.150right?10:30.170 --> 10:30.970Because if you aren't,10:31.551 --> 10:34.092if you can't get paid for the thing,10:34.252 --> 10:35.032then you're going to have10:35.052 --> 10:36.053to go do something else.10:36.513 --> 10:38.053And now you're dividing your time.10:38.093 --> 10:38.934There's not enough time.10:39.014 --> 10:39.974Why aren't you doing the10:40.054 --> 10:40.935thing

either12:29.544 --> 12:31.166were going on or weren't12:31.226 --> 12:32.788going on that should be going on.12:33.568 --> 12:35.671And I think some time and12:35.711 --> 12:36.632place I lucked out.12:37.172 --> 12:38.173I was in PT school in 2013, 2014.12:40.993 --> 12:42.735And I launched a podcast in 2015.12:43.435 --> 12:44.976Had no idea what the hell a podcast was.12:45.597 --> 12:46.318Barely knew.12:46.838 --> 12:48.119But I knew that I wanted to have fun,12:48.159 --> 12:48.539learn stuff.12:48.680 --> 12:49.660That was my North Star.12:49.680 --> 12:50.481She's about the

myself and what I liked into it.13:12.598 --> 13:13.959I did not want it to be a lecture.13:14.239 --> 13:14.600I can't.13:14.780 --> 13:15.800I mean, there's a time and place,13:15.840 --> 13:16.701but I can't do those.13:17.241 --> 13:18.482I want it to be conversation,13:18.502 --> 13:19.163not presentation.13:19.203 --> 13:20.323I wanted to be about PT13:20.363 --> 13:21.224because I just came to this13:21.244 --> 13:22.865profession and I was like, this is cool.13:22.945 --> 13:23.946I don't know everything.13:24.326 --> 13:25.747Let's learn some stuff and13:25.767 -->

13:31.131but it's also like, that's sort of who,13:31.211 --> 13:31.851if you meet me,13:32.352 --> 13:33.492this isn't much of a stretch.13:33.653 --> 13:34.133You know what I mean?13:34.493 --> 13:36.154It's just, it's formatted differently.13:37.215 --> 13:38.796Are you seeing now more than,13:39.297 --> 13:40.718we'll get to like six13:40.778 --> 13:42.179points because I want to dive in.13:42.219 --> 13:43.420So the focus of the episode13:43.460 --> 13:44.460today is going to be six13:44.520 --> 13:47.222things or six spots we'll13:47.242 --> 13:48.403dive deeper into that13:48.443 --> 13:49.364healthcare providers should13:49.424 --> 13:51.986know about skyrocketing their career.13:52.878 --> 13:54.139Whatever your career is,13:54.539 --> 13:55.660these things will apply.13:57.322 --> 13:57.842Before we start,13:58.163 --> 14:01.646are you seeing students more open to this,14:01.806 --> 14:03.327seeking these types of things out?14:03.547 --> 14:05.809Entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship,14:06.450 --> 14:08.371building ships, rocket ships?14:08.892 --> 14:09.252I don't know.14:09.492 --> 14:11.834Are you seeing more, less, the same?14:11.855 --> 14:12.215What do you think?14:13.029 --> 14:13.209Well,14:13.269 --> 14:14.971I think it's a much more14:15.551 --> 14:17.733well-educated group of14:17.833 --> 14:19.235students coming up through14:19.255 --> 14:20.095the ranks right now.14:20.235 --> 14:22.598So I think they are aware14:22.958 --> 14:24.159that the debt to income14:24.219 --> 14:25.220ratio is an issue.14:25.280 --> 14:26.541And so they're addressing it14:26.681 --> 14:29.163more by being curious and14:29.203 --> 14:30.605by seeking out all of the14:30.745 --> 14:31.746options and doing the14:31.786 --> 14:33.527research beforehand.14:33.808 --> 14:34.788And that's good.14:35.169 --> 14:35.949You should do that.14:36.971 --> 14:38.393So I think just being more14:38.433 --> 14:40.416well-educated is helping people,14:41.338 --> 14:42.600especially DPT students,14:42.720 --> 14:45.104realize that there's a lot14:45.124 --> 14:46.205of ways to skin a cat.14:46.426 --> 14:48.349I just got to figure out how14:48.389 --> 14:50.212to do that and who to talk to.14:51.178 --> 14:53.360in order to figure that pathway out.14:53.420 --> 14:54.540And there's somebody out14:54.560 --> 14:55.641there probably doing it.14:55.741 --> 14:57.002And if there isn't, you create it,14:57.042 --> 14:58.523but that's a whole nother story.14:58.863 --> 15:00.544We live in a wild time where15:01.665 --> 15:03.506access to information and15:03.727 --> 15:06.128access to people is, I mean,15:06.168 --> 15:07.529has it ever been smaller?15:07.589 --> 15:08.670And I'm saying the space15:08.730 --> 15:11.412between where you are physically15:12.665 --> 15:13.666in time and space,15:13.806 --> 15:15.047and then where you could, I mean,15:15.067 --> 15:16.208you could tweet at Mark Cuban,15:16.348 --> 15:17.689and if you catch him at the right moment,15:18.269 --> 15:21.011he might fund your next company.15:22.232 --> 15:24.233And that's a tweet from the John.15:25.574 --> 15:26.815And then access to information,15:26.935 --> 15:27.435I don't even think,15:27.515 --> 15:28.676and now you go into what15:28.716 --> 15:30.137has dropped in our lap six, eight,15:30.137 --> 15:30.99812 months ago with15:31.038 --> 15:31.999artificial intelligence,15:32.379 --> 15:33.940is it's not just access to information,15:34.320 --> 15:36.422it's context and application.15:37.062 --> 15:39.424I mean, you know, Skynet is sort of here.15:40.029 --> 15:41.536Yep, I've seen that movie.15:41.556 --> 15:42.279I know how it ends.15:42.620 --> 15:43.203Yeah, I know.15:43.223 --> 15:44.127I'm a little nervous about that.15:45.512 --> 15:46.453So we're going to do this a15:46.493 --> 15:47.374lot like batting practice.15:47.394 --> 15:48.454I know you're a lifelong Mets fan.15:48.494 --> 15:49.855We're going to do it like batting practice,15:50.296 --> 15:51.237where I'm going to set it up,15:51.697 --> 15:52.558and these are six things15:52.618 --> 15:53.438every healthcare provider15:53.458 --> 15:53.939should know about15:53.979 --> 15:54.959skyrocketing their career.15:55.019 --> 15:56.881Number one, you're saying,15:57.081 --> 15:57.922and you sort of alluded to15:57.942 --> 16:00.344it a second ago, establishing expertise.16:00.904 --> 16:03.446Help share your strategies,16:03.506 --> 16:04.907or where do you figure out16:04.927 --> 16:05.728where that North Star is,16:05.768 --> 16:06.869or how do you help people16:06.909 --> 16:07.950figure out what that North Star is?16:08.270 --> 16:09.271We'll stay specifically for16:09.311 --> 16:10.932healthcare professionals today.16:11.112 --> 16:12.033Who want to establish16:12.073 --> 16:13.274themselves as experts in16:13.314 --> 16:15.856authority in a particular field or niche,16:16.156 --> 16:17.597no matter how wide or narrow?16:17.617 --> 16:17.817Yeah.16:18.478 --> 16:21.300So establishing expertise and authority,16:21.660 --> 16:22.140like I said,16:22.200 --> 16:23.762is the key to the journey16:23.882 --> 16:26.424toward your pathway toward mastery,16:26.604 --> 16:26.744right?16:26.784 --> 16:27.805That should be your goal.16:28.585 --> 16:29.786Whatever it is, whatever you love,16:29.826 --> 16:30.547whatever you want to do,16:30.587 --> 16:31.928whatever you want to be really good at.16:33.148 --> 16:34.429You want to master that, right?16:34.469 --> 16:35.870You don't necessarily need16:35.890 --> 16:37.131to be the Michael Jordan of it,16:37.151 --> 16:38.151but you want to get as good16:38.191 --> 16:39.312as you can at it, right?16:40.073 --> 16:41.574So expertise and authority16:41.734 --> 16:43.755isn't always letters after your name.16:43.795 --> 16:45.156It's not certifications.16:45.236 --> 16:47.278It's not CEU courses and16:48.218 --> 16:49.339conferences and all that.16:50.240 --> 16:50.900It can be.16:51.200 --> 16:53.602Sometimes it's a necessary evil for sure.16:54.858 --> 16:56.459But it's getting under the16:56.499 --> 16:58.560bar and doing the repetitions, right?16:58.780 --> 17:00.761So get really good at the17:00.861 --> 17:02.362basics and the fundamentals17:02.482 --> 17:04.323and understand that first,17:05.003 --> 17:05.804whatever it may be.17:05.884 --> 17:08.065Let's just say, I don't know here.17:08.645 --> 17:09.906I use this example a lot17:09.926 --> 17:10.886lately because I've worked17:10.906 --> 17:12.227with somebody and this was their path.17:12.807 --> 17:13.568Let's just say they want to17:13.608 --> 17:15.168be a cheerleading physical therapist,17:15.549 --> 17:15.749right?17:16.469 --> 17:17.670Only want to treat cheerleaders.17:17.750 --> 17:19.150That's their love, their passion.17:19.191 --> 17:20.851They've done it since birth, you know,17:20.911 --> 17:21.612and they just want to17:21.652 --> 17:22.952continue to live in that world.17:23.773 --> 17:23.953Great.17:25.049 --> 17:26.590get really good at the17:26.650 --> 17:27.891basics and the fundamentals17:27.951 --> 17:31.634of treating orthopedic injuries, right?17:31.674 --> 17:32.734That's a good starting point.17:32.774 --> 17:34.075If you're good at the fundamentals,17:34.536 --> 17:36.137you're going to get results, right?17:36.757 --> 17:38.038Then we can start niching17:38.078 --> 17:38.899down a little bit and17:38.939 --> 17:40.020really looking at the top17:40.060 --> 17:41.180five or 10 injuries that17:41.200 --> 17:42.942you're going to see within cheerleading.17:43.522 --> 17:45.183Now we can start layering in17:45.223 --> 17:46.584the levels of expertise and17:46.604 --> 17:48.285mastery where we really17:48.405 --> 17:50.247focus on those injuries and17:50.287 --> 17:51.548get really good at those.17:52.188 --> 17:53.249So you've got the basics and17:53.269 --> 17:54.290the fundamentals down.17:54.650 --> 17:56.111You've got some reps underneath you,17:56.231 --> 17:57.312and now you're elevating to17:57.332 --> 17:58.073the next level,17:58.113 --> 17:58.933and you're getting reps17:58.993 --> 18:00.314doing those five or ten18:00.675 --> 18:01.255that we're going to see18:01.315 --> 18:02.496specific to cheerleading.18:02.816 --> 18:04.257Yeah, get good at the basics.18:04.658 --> 18:06.319Yeah, get good at the fundamentals first,18:06.399 --> 18:07.360whatever the thing is.18:07.460 --> 18:08.901If you want to speak on stages,18:09.001 --> 18:10.042get really good at speaking18:10.082 --> 18:10.882and public speaking.18:11.363 --> 18:12.163If you want to get good at18:12.203 --> 18:14.785writing books and releasing books, reps,18:14.965 --> 18:16.026write, write, write, write, write.18:17.147 --> 18:17.688Whatever it is,18:17.728 --> 18:19.229get good at the fundamentals first.18:19.269 --> 18:20.109That's the starting point.18:20.149 --> 18:20.750That's the launch pad.18:21.270 --> 18:22.671I shared a message not long ago.18:22.691 --> 18:23.231I was like,18:24.292 --> 18:25.792if you want to be a better podcaster,18:25.812 --> 18:27.713you actually don't need more listeners.18:27.733 --> 18:28.674You need to podcast more.18:28.834 --> 18:30.274You don't want to be a better writer.18:30.294 --> 18:31.075You don't need more readers.18:31.115 --> 18:32.055You need to write more.18:32.175 --> 18:33.416So focus more on the thing18:33.436 --> 18:34.136you can control.18:34.436 --> 18:34.717Listen,18:34.997 --> 18:37.938you could start podcasting and get18:38.018 --> 18:39.599zero downloads for a while.18:40.259 --> 18:42.340And you can't control that download thing.18:44.481 --> 18:45.782The objective measure you18:45.802 --> 18:46.862can control is how many18:46.902 --> 18:47.803things are you putting out.18:48.323 --> 18:49.684And the cool thing about writing,18:49.804 --> 18:50.544podcasting,18:51.064 --> 18:52.044getting good at fundamentals18:52.124 --> 18:54.565is they work long term.18:54.725 --> 18:56.046When you learn that thing or18:56.086 --> 18:57.206you put those reps in,18:58.186 --> 18:59.167you take that with you.18:59.187 --> 19:00.807The thing you spent six19:00.847 --> 19:02.308hours learning six years ago,19:02.388 --> 19:03.368you've still got it now.19:03.808 --> 19:07.110So number one is establishing expertise.19:07.250 --> 19:08.730This is identifying maybe19:08.770 --> 19:10.371part of your Aikigai is the19:10.391 --> 19:11.331first thing of where those19:11.371 --> 19:12.171four things cross.19:12.631 --> 19:13.532Number two, you say...19:14.392 --> 19:16.593And you touched on it a little bit there.19:16.794 --> 19:18.195It's the importance of expertise.19:18.655 --> 19:20.056Why do you think that aiming19:20.156 --> 19:21.697at and getting and becoming19:21.717 --> 19:22.797an expert in authority is19:23.018 --> 19:24.479critical for professionals19:24.619 --> 19:27.480in today's healthcare landscape,19:27.520 --> 19:29.001or I would just say the world landscape?19:29.542 --> 19:30.542You've identified it,19:30.582 --> 19:31.723but why do you now need to19:31.783 --> 19:32.704be an expert in it?19:33.084 --> 19:34.405Let's stay with the cheerleading example.19:34.741 --> 19:35.862Yeah, so, okay,19:36.022 --> 19:38.624let's just say you are a19:38.784 --> 19:40.065college level cheerleader19:40.345 --> 19:40.885and you've got a19:40.945 --> 19:42.426scholarship and you

second?27:29.565 --> 27:30.325My dad is calling.27:31.297 --> 27:32.338Back to the six-pack.27:32.939 --> 27:35.061So, so far, we've established expertise,27:35.261 --> 27:37.343understood the importance of expertise,27:37.623 --> 27:39.165and then figured out how to leverage it.27:39.945 --> 27:41.327Now there's this term that27:41.727 --> 27:42.808I'm not sure I understand27:42.848 --> 27:43.849or grasp completely.27:43.889 --> 27:45.391It's called stacking skills.27:45.811 --> 27:47.192Talk to me about the idea of27:47.413 --> 27:50.536skill stacking and how it's used.27:50.916 --> 27:51.897How does it help people?27:52.017 --> 27:52.377What is it?27:52.397 --> 27:52.758How does it work?27:53.154 --> 27:54.595Yeah, it's pretty awesome, man.27:54.715 --> 27:55.676And we've talked about it a27:55.716 --> 27:56.236little bit here.27:56.276 --> 27:57.477But like you said, remember,27:57.597 --> 27:58.818if you learn a thing,27:59.178 --> 28:00.519you carry it with you for28:00.539 --> 28:01.940those next six years, right?28:01.960 --> 28:04.622Like, if you learn something six years ago,28:04.642 --> 28:06.803it's still with you now, right?28:06.823 --> 28:07.804And that's kind of the idea28:07.864 --> 28:09.025behind skill stacking.28:09.645 --> 28:12.047So when I first started my first business,28:12.087 --> 28:14.008it was a mobile physical therapy practice,28:14.008 --> 28:15.549100 percent out of network,28:15.549 --> 28:16.890100 percent cash pay.28:17.791 --> 28:19.392And, you know, I was doing fair.28:19.432 --> 28:20.572It was a side business and I28:20.612 --> 28:21.373saw some patients.28:21.813 --> 28:24.055But as I started to kind of plateau,28:24.095 --> 28:24.855I realized I'm going to28:24.895 --> 28:25.976need to run some Facebook28:26.096 --> 28:27.397ads or do some marketing to28:27.437 --> 28:28.398get some more patients.28:28.638 --> 28:28.858Right.28:29.318 --> 28:30.279Word of mouth is only going28:30.299 --> 28:31.520to get me so far as great.28:31.540 --> 28:32.080It was working,28:32.120 --> 28:34.021but I needed other ways to28:34.061 --> 28:35.522get new leads and new patients in.28:35.923 --> 28:36.643So I said, all right, well,28:36.663 --> 28:37.724let's try Facebook ads.28:37.744 --> 28:39.005And I failed at it miserably.28:40.405 --> 28:42.506And I knew it wasn't Facebook ads,28:42.606 --> 28:43.446it was me, right?28:43.466 --> 28:45.026Because Facebook ads work,28:45.086 --> 28:46.307people are using them, they work,28:46.367 --> 28:47.267it's gotta be me, right?28:47.307 --> 28:49.828So I took a course and it28:49.868 --> 28:50.908was a pretty big investment28:50.948 --> 28:51.588at the time for me,28:51.608 --> 28:52.708it was about five grand.28:52.748 --> 28:55.089But within the first week of28:55.329 --> 28:56.869using the new Facebook ads,28:57.010 --> 28:58.510I ended up getting three patients,28:58.570 --> 29:00.690which at an $1,800 plan of care,29:01.531 --> 29:02.991that more than paid for the course.29:03.011 --> 29:04.331And then every patient I got29:04.391 --> 29:05.832from there on was profit, right?29:06.912 --> 29:08.953And now I know how to do Facebook ads.29:09.454 --> 29:09.974I don't,29:10.214 --> 29:12.095but I outsource that stuff now29:12.155 --> 29:13.256because I don't want to do that.29:13.316 --> 29:14.377I don't find joy in that,29:14.417 --> 29:16.138but I know enough to know29:16.218 --> 29:17.279who to hire and what to29:17.299 --> 29:19.260hire them for and how to make it work.29:19.639 --> 29:20.239Yeah,29:20.299 --> 29:21.961you talked earlier about bouncing around,29:22.001 --> 29:22.721and one day you're talking29:22.741 --> 29:23.662about Teletubbies and the29:23.702 --> 29:24.442marathon running.29:25.022 --> 29:26.644So that isn't necessarily a29:26.724 --> 29:27.884bad thing to do,29:28.205 --> 29:29.485but can you take some of29:29.525 --> 29:30.966those elements and apply29:31.026 --> 29:32.207them to your North Star?29:32.427 --> 29:35.229I feel like this is not an addition.29:35.269 --> 29:36.990This is a multiplier or an exponent.29:37.210 --> 29:37.631Exactly.29:37.671 --> 29:39.252So let's go back to the cheerleader again,29:39.312 --> 29:39.492right?29:40.072 --> 29:41.893They were a cheerleader,29:41.913 --> 29:43.795so they know how cheerleading works.29:44.255 --> 29:47.837They open a PT slash cheerleading gym,29:48.458 --> 29:48.658right?29:48.678 --> 29:48.898Yeah.29:49.443 --> 29:52.244They had to kind of learn how to run that.29:52.264 --> 29:52.805Sure.29:53.285 --> 29:55.446They wrote a book, right,29:55.646 --> 29:57.267on here's the top five most29:58.307 --> 29:59.088common injuries.30:00.148 --> 30:01.549You had to learn how to write a book,30:01.569 --> 30:03.470how to self-publish on Amazon, et cetera.30:03.510 --> 30:04.911But they now know how to do that.30:04.931 --> 30:06.231So when they write their next book,30:06.511 --> 30:07.452they know how to do that.30:08.132 --> 30:09.253They actually had to learn30:09.293 --> 30:10.493how to do some Facebook ads30:10.513 --> 30:11.454so they could outsource30:11.474 --> 30:12.414that if they wanted to.30:12.855 --> 30:15.096Again, all these things, it's like –30:15.856 --> 30:17.457Yeah, they're weird and they're different.30:17.497 --> 30:18.897Maybe they're not PT related.30:18.937 --> 30:20.538They're not taught in PT school,30:21.118 --> 30:22.638but there's skills that you30:22.658 --> 30:24.479can stack and learn to, like you said,30:24.619 --> 30:26.960multiply instead of just, you know,30:28.280 --> 30:29.060adding new things.30:29.100 --> 30:30.361I'm learning new things, you know,30:30.421 --> 30:31.601and they're still related30:31.741 --> 30:32.982to the business and to the30:33.002 --> 30:33.882direction they're heading.30:34.127 --> 30:35.728Yeah, they're adjacent, and here's why.30:35.748 --> 30:37.648Because in healthcare,30:37.708 --> 30:38.889we begin and end with people.30:39.569 --> 30:41.370So the communication, the business,30:42.170 --> 30:43.791the content creation,30:43.831 --> 30:45.612these things are not PT,30:46.152 --> 30:47.713but they're PT adjacent.30:47.873 --> 30:48.833And you have a decision.30:49.273 --> 30:50.554Do you want to spend time, effort,30:50.674 --> 30:52.495and or money to learn how to do this?30:52.515 --> 30:53.375I saw this all the time.30:54.111 --> 30:55.252If you have a clogged toilet30:55.272 --> 30:55.872in your clinic,30:56.493 --> 30:57.694you can unclog it yourself.30:57.934 --> 30:58.755You have to do the work,30:59.055 --> 30:59.675which means you have to30:59.695 --> 31:00.416know what you're doing,31:00.516 --> 31:02.017have the tool on hand, have the skill,31:02.417 --> 31:03.018and you've got to want to31:03.038 --> 31:03.698get your hands dirty.31:03.979 --> 31:06.140Or you can hire someone,31:06.540 --> 31:07.481and that is a decision.31:07.761 --> 31:09.122I think the real skill is knowing...31:10.203 --> 31:11.124You knowing yourself,31:11.144 --> 31:11.925we covered that in the31:11.965 --> 31:12.966first couple of ideas,31:13.346 --> 31:14.827knowing what you want to invest your time,31:14.887 --> 31:15.168effort,31:15.268 --> 31:16.769and energy in doing and31:16.809 --> 31:17.590understanding where the31:17.630 --> 31:19.251return on investment needs to be.31:19.251 --> 31:21.073$5,000 for a Facebook ad course,31:21.333 --> 31:22.995that's ridiculous unless it31:23.035 --> 31:23.996brings you three times 1,800.31:23.996 --> 31:27.379Then it's not so crazy anymore.31:27.399 --> 31:27.499Right.31:28.314 --> 31:28.554All right.31:28.895 --> 31:31.438So we go from stacking31:31.478 --> 31:34.643skills to skill sets versus theories.31:35.104 --> 31:36.205Why do you emphasize31:36.285 --> 31:37.827learning towards a specific31:37.988 --> 31:40.471skill set rather than just31:40.671 --> 31:41.773theoretical knowledge?31:41.813 --> 31:42.474Walk me through this.31:42.964 --> 31:43.104Yeah,31:43.164 --> 31:47.066so this kind of struck me with my EDD,31:47.146 --> 31:47.306right?31:47.326 --> 31:48.387I didn't know how to learn.31:48.427 --> 31:49.927I was a rote memorizer all31:49.987 --> 31:50.768throughout my life.31:50.948 --> 31:52.409I just would read and read31:52.469 --> 31:53.369and highlight and highlight31:53.389 --> 31:54.710and take the same notes and31:54.750 --> 31:56.451I would try to memorize it.31:57.111 --> 31:58.712And that's not learning at all, right?31:58.732 --> 32:00.413That's literally just rote memorization.32:00.433 --> 32:02.073We know now that that is not learning.32:02.754 --> 32:04.815So when I got into the EDD, I said, okay.32:05.755 --> 32:07.778I got to look at this32:07.838 --> 32:08.499differently because what32:08.519 --> 32:09.440I'm doing isn't working.32:09.620 --> 32:11.222So how can I learn better?32:11.242 --> 32:13.244And when I started to get to32:13.284 --> 32:14.826learn the theories of learning,32:14.866 --> 32:16.568it was like, oh, okay, that makes sense.32:16.608 --> 32:17.309That's interesting.32:18.271 --> 32:20.073But those are still just kind of theories.32:20.473 --> 32:20.673Right.32:21.474 --> 32:23.096Unless we can take it to the32:23.156 --> 32:24.617next level and implement32:24.777 --> 32:26.058and put action behind it32:26.158 --> 32:27.700and test our theories and32:27.900 --> 32:28.861see if they're working.32:29.181 --> 32:30.603It's like an A-B split test.32:30.643 --> 32:32.184If we go back to the Facebook stuff.32:32.244 --> 32:32.404Right.32:32.444 --> 32:34.226Like if I run two ads,32:34.486 --> 32:35.948one of them is going to outperform.32:36.468 --> 32:37.449Then I should shut the other32:37.529 --> 32:38.730one down that's not and put32:38.750 --> 32:39.431all the money toward the32:39.471 --> 32:40.272one that is working.32:40.352 --> 32:40.512Right.32:40.552 --> 32:41.313The better of the two.32:42.053 --> 32:42.233Well,32:42.353 --> 32:44.234we wouldn't know that unless we test32:44.274 --> 32:44.654the theory.32:44.674 --> 32:45.755If we implemented,32:46.075 --> 32:48.236took action and tested the theory.32:48.956 --> 32:51.617So I can teach you all the32:51.697 --> 32:52.677theories in the world on32:52.737 --> 32:53.718how to do this stuff and32:53.758 --> 32:54.818how to write a book and32:55.218 --> 32:57.599this would be nice and make a course and,32:57.919 --> 32:58.219you know,32:58.960 --> 33:00.800take a speaking gig and get paid33:00.841 --> 33:01.081for that.33:01.441 --> 33:03.001I could teach you everything33:03.041 --> 33:04.242in the world on theory,33:04.642 --> 33:05.582but if you're not going to33:05.622 --> 33:07.683take it to the next step and implement it,33:08.103 --> 33:09.384it's useless, you know?33:09.924 --> 33:10.785And so for me,33:10.925 --> 33:12.547the whole skill set thing is33:12.607 --> 33:15.370like I aim to teach you33:15.690 --> 33:17.072actionable skill sets and33:17.092 --> 33:18.894then back it up with33:19.234 --> 33:21.597basically just the ability33:21.637 --> 33:23.399to keep a close eye on you33:23.419 --> 33:24.620and make sure that, you know,33:24.980 --> 33:25.821you're doing what you're33:25.861 --> 33:26.882supposed to be doing and33:26.923 --> 33:27.703that you're taking the33:27.823 --> 33:28.845action so that the33:28.905 --> 33:30.687accountability side of things is there.33:30.707 --> 33:30.847Yeah.33:31.147 --> 33:31.687Yeah,33:31.727 --> 33:33.648that's what that's where we fall flat.33:33.668 --> 33:34.368A lot of times it's33:34.468 --> 33:35.708implementation and taking33:35.748 --> 33:37.569the action and then having33:37.609 --> 33:38.970somebody that's accountable33:39.010 --> 33:40.070that will kind of keep us33:40.130 --> 33:40.990on track and make sure33:41.010 --> 33:41.630we're doing the things33:41.670 --> 33:42.571we're supposed to do.33:42.651 --> 33:42.851Yeah.33:43.011 --> 33:44.871Humans were just finding these things.33:45.231 --> 33:45.732Yeah.33:45.872 --> 33:47.972Number six will now bring33:48.112 --> 33:49.553several things and several33:49.593 --> 33:50.813ideas and concepts together,33:50.833 --> 33:52.674and that's layering revenue streams.33:53.374 --> 33:54.275What advice do you have for33:54.315 --> 33:55.876professionals looking to layer?33:55.956 --> 33:56.857Well, first, what is it?33:57.297 --> 33:58.218And then what advice do you33:58.238 --> 33:59.179have for professionals33:59.199 --> 34:00.440looking to layer revenue34:00.460 --> 34:02.441streams around this thing34:02.461 --> 34:03.342we've been talking about,34:03.382 --> 34:04.623their primary expertise,34:04.663 --> 34:05.403their North Star?34:05.824 --> 34:06.044Yeah,34:06.124 --> 34:08.185so this is really cool the way this34:08.265 --> 34:08.726all worked out.34:08.766 --> 34:09.727We talked about multiple34:09.767 --> 34:10.687revenue streams a little34:10.707 --> 34:12.268bit on the last time I was on, right?34:12.308 --> 34:14.270But now I'm presenting on34:14.350 --> 34:15.591how to implement multiple34:15.631 --> 34:17.252revenue streams internally34:17.312 --> 34:19.234inside a clinic before you34:19.294 --> 34:20.835buy new clinics internally.34:21.195 --> 34:23.016at CSM this year with Dr.34:23.076 --> 34:24.717Josh Funk and Dr. Penny Goldberg.34:24.757 --> 34:25.878So I'm looking forward to34:26.138 --> 34:27.719presenting there because34:27.800 --> 34:29.060both of them have done that34:29.180 --> 34:30.441and layered revenue streams34:30.501 --> 34:31.942within the clinic and then34:32.022 --> 34:33.323had other clinics open up34:33.423 --> 34:34.744from their original one, right?34:35.385 --> 34:36.605So it'll be a pretty cool34:37.446 --> 34:38.947talk up there at CSM, but like34:40.618 --> 34:43.221Just like the cheerleader, it starts with,34:43.261 --> 34:44.823and this doesn't have to,34:44.844 --> 34:46.085we're just using her as the example,34:46.125 --> 34:47.687but it starts with a34:47.747 --> 34:48.849physical therapy clinic34:48.909 --> 34:50.130that also has a34:50.451 --> 34:51.572cheerleading gym around it.34:52.473 --> 34:53.775Another revenue stream could34:53.815 --> 34:56.018be courses and camps for34:56.358 --> 34:58.000injury prevention or mitigation.34:58.801 --> 35:00.322Then another revenue stream35:00.362 --> 35:01.243on top of that could be the35:01.363 --> 35:02.864book that we talked about that's like,35:02.884 --> 35:03.024hey,35:03.044 --> 35:04.545here's the top five injuries and how35:04.605 --> 35:05.145I treat them.35:06.086 --> 35:07.387Then the next one could be35:07.847 --> 35:09.248consulting and telehealth35:09.348 --> 35:11.069or bringing her in to35:11.229 --> 35:12.770consult with different D135:12.871 --> 35:14.171schools on how to prevent35:14.251 --> 35:15.532injuries and workout35:15.612 --> 35:16.453programs they should be35:16.493 --> 35:17.294doing with their strength35:17.314 --> 35:18.334and conditioning coaches.35:19.215 --> 35:20.316Then the next thing,35:20.776 --> 35:21.877we can really start looking35:21.917 --> 35:22.797at how to take those35:22.877 --> 35:23.858revenue streams that we've35:23.898 --> 35:25.019started building and make35:25.059 --> 35:27.500them bigger and bigger and scale more.35:27.540 --> 35:28.161So the book,35:29.121 --> 35:30.863on how to treat those five injuries,35:30.883 --> 35:31.944that's great.35:31.984 --> 35:33.105That's going to help people35:33.165 --> 35:34.106in the cheerleading world.35:34.566 --> 35:36.027But what if she can take all35:36.087 --> 35:36.748her knowledge and35:36.788 --> 35:37.489everything that she's35:37.549 --> 35:38.529learned and maybe help35:38.569 --> 35:39.790prevent bullying within the35:39.831 --> 35:40.871cheerleading world, right?35:41.392 --> 35:41.672Like, hey,35:41.692 --> 35:42.613there's a lot of bullying that35:42.633 --> 35:43.954goes on and I don't like it.35:43.974 --> 35:44.735And here's what I've seen.35:44.775 --> 35:46.356And here's how I think as a leader,35:46.476 --> 35:47.697I should act and step up to35:47.957 --> 35:49.138combat those things, right?35:49.599 --> 35:50.740So now she has a bigger,35:50.800 --> 35:51.941broader message on just35:52.001 --> 35:53.922like how to combat bullying35:54.043 --> 35:54.863in the real world.35:55.344 --> 35:56.745Here's how I've seen it in cheerleading.35:57.245 --> 35:58.227and in the physical therapy35:58.247 --> 35:58.867world that I've seen,35:58.887 --> 36:00.309but I'm expanding it out to36:00.369 --> 36:02.011just in general, life in general.36:02.072 --> 36:02.792If you see bullying,36:02.833 --> 36:03.553here's what it looks like,36:03.614 --> 36:04.455here's how to combat it.36:05.035 --> 36:06.516Now her audience has grown36:06.576 --> 36:07.737to way beyond just people36:07.777 --> 36:08.998getting injured and cheerleading.36:09.419 --> 36:10.820She's got a message that she36:10.840 --> 36:12.882can expand because she's36:13.122 --> 36:14.883and now she's got a book about it, too.36:15.243 --> 36:17.005That's bigger than just the five injuries.36:17.405 --> 36:18.806It's literally, you know, hey,36:19.207 --> 36:21.368here's how to create a movement,36:21.448 --> 36:23.310really start to have an impact on little,36:23.510 --> 36:23.770you know,36:24.291 --> 36:25.752girls and boys across the world36:25.792 --> 36:26.693that are getting bullied.36:26.753 --> 36:26.913Right.36:26.953 --> 36:28.074It's not just like in her36:28.114 --> 36:29.335little cheerleading bubble.36:29.355 --> 36:30.176And it's definitely not36:30.196 --> 36:31.276within her PT bubble.36:31.296 --> 36:31.877Right.36:32.758 --> 36:34.099This in communications or36:34.159 --> 36:35.200media or journalism,36:35.220 --> 36:36.401we would call this public relations.36:36.681 --> 36:38.522And this would be36:39.163 --> 36:40.063participating in public36:40.083 --> 36:41.505relations or doing public36:41.525 --> 36:43.006relations with multiple36:43.106 --> 36:44.647audiences in which your36:44.707 --> 36:47.509expertise can help them learn and grow.36:47.749 --> 36:48.090Period.36:48.210 --> 36:48.770Hard stop.36:49.471 --> 36:51.372And I use the Play-Doh Fun36:51.412 --> 36:52.773Factory example.36:52.813 --> 36:53.774Remember Play-Doh Fun Factory?36:53.794 --> 36:54.655You put the Play-Doh in,36:54.675 --> 36:55.616you push down a lever,36:55.916 --> 36:57.217you can put like a star pattern,36:57.297 --> 36:58.238you can have it come out in36:58.258 --> 36:58.858different shapes.36:59.439 --> 37:00.259That's what media is.37:01.280 --> 37:03.681You put your expertise in, you press down,37:04.541 --> 37:06.261and it could be a book, a podcast,37:06.321 --> 37:08.542a

again, for me,40:04.821 --> 40:05.942it was a weird journey, right?40:05.962 --> 40:07.083Because I was an English major.40:07.103 --> 40:08.864And senior year,40:08.924 --> 40:09.745I knew I didn't want to do40:09.825 --> 40:10.825anything with English.40:11.266 --> 40:13.667I had golf,40:13.747 --> 40:15.249bowling and intro to Japan left40:15.509 --> 40:16.550to graduate.40:17.490 --> 40:19.091And I didn't want to read.40:19.131 --> 40:19.952I didn't want to write.40:20.012 --> 40:20.933I didn't want to edit.40:21.293 --> 40:22.013So what the hell am I going40:22.033 -->

here.40:26.777 --> 40:28.218So I did volunteer with all40:28.238 --> 40:29.098my free time at the40:29.138 --> 40:30.159hospital and they put me in40:30.179 --> 40:32.120the PT department and

no,40:40.066 --> 40:40.886I don't have any of those.40:42.267 --> 40:42.607But, you know,40:42.647 --> 40:43.648I took all the prereqs40:43.668 --> 40:44.768because it meant a lot to me.40:45.109 --> 40:46.629And, you know, really, like I said,40:46.689 --> 40:48.390it was having done the40:48.470 --> 40:49.611English courses much40:49.671 --> 40:50.691earlier on and finished40:50.731 -->

me.40:57.194 --> 40:57.875And that's, you know,40:58.215 --> 40:59.155that's where I felt I could40:59.315 --> 41:00.656have the most impact, I think,41:00.696 --> 41:01.296with my career.41:02.737
