Seize the Opportunity: Alex Bendersky on Risk, Resilience & Trillion-Dollar PT

In this powerful Graham Sessions sit-down, first-time attendee Alex Bendersky, PT, MBA, gets real about risk, readiness, and the trillion-dollar opportunity in MSK care. From surviving the Medicare cap crash of 2002 to forecasting the next existential threats to PT, Alex challenges the profession to evolve beyond survival.


We dig into:

  • What resilience actually looks like for private practice
  • Why waiting for change is a losing strategy
  • How to capture untouched markets in MSK
  • What you’re doing wrong with risk-based care
  • The trillion-dollar pie that’s still on the table

00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.630
You're listening to the PT Pinecast,

00:00:02.650 --> 00:00:04.352
where smart people in healthcare come to

00:00:04.392 --> 00:00:05.392
make noise.

00:00:05.573 --> 00:00:09.635
Here's your host, Jimmy McKay.

00:00:09.656 --> 00:00:11.137
I'm pretty much just living live today

00:00:11.157 --> 00:00:12.077
here at Graham Sessions,

00:00:12.098 --> 00:00:14.199
the top APTA's headquarters,

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.202
live streaming during Graham Sessions.

00:00:16.262 --> 00:00:17.742
And I'm telling people Graham Sessions is

00:00:17.763 --> 00:00:21.304
this annual event called the Cool Kids

00:00:21.324 --> 00:00:22.646
Lunch Table, super secret.

00:00:23.126 --> 00:00:24.388
But you know all these people.

00:00:25.329 --> 00:00:26.609
If you're rubbing elbows in the

00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:27.030
profession,

00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:27.190
you've

00:00:27.634 --> 00:00:29.475
met or heard of or at least you

00:00:29.495 --> 00:00:31.096
know know asymmetrically through linkedin

00:00:31.515 --> 00:00:33.137
a lot of these people alex benderski but

00:00:33.156 --> 00:00:34.878
i'm gonna show a bunch of times is

00:00:34.898 --> 00:00:37.478
this your how many gram sessions my number

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:39.119
one is your first one it's my first

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.682
one i'm grand session virgin really this

00:00:41.701 --> 00:00:44.463
is great we get purity uh so my

00:00:44.542 --> 00:00:47.265
big picture question would be uh what is

00:00:47.325 --> 00:00:49.765
something so far that's made you someone

00:00:49.786 --> 00:00:53.969
who thinks writes talks acts in this

00:00:54.009 --> 00:00:55.168
profession and we'll get to what you do

00:00:55.509 --> 00:00:56.289
but what's something that

00:00:57.529 --> 00:00:58.871
surprised you or excited you?

00:00:58.911 --> 00:01:00.012
Let's go with positive first.

00:01:00.954 --> 00:01:02.697
I think the panel sessions,

00:01:03.176 --> 00:01:05.540
the panel structure is actually very good.

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:06.783
It's a good format to get different

00:01:07.003 --> 00:01:07.143
voices.

00:01:08.004 --> 00:01:08.745
Go topic-wise.

00:01:08.786 --> 00:01:10.748
Anything that either is on the docket for

00:01:10.787 --> 00:01:13.292
later today or tomorrow or already that's

00:01:13.331 --> 00:01:13.772
made you go?

00:01:14.052 --> 00:01:16.674
okay cool uh the the strength of numbers

00:01:16.975 --> 00:01:19.518
talk is is definitely pertinent uh there's

00:01:19.558 --> 00:01:22.840
a laws of scale that can't long lever

00:01:22.921 --> 00:01:25.804
arm yeah the levers and the arms and

00:01:25.823 --> 00:01:28.186
the leverage talking about i mean and

00:01:28.225 --> 00:01:29.947
again the rule that the rule about gram

00:01:29.966 --> 00:01:31.549
sessions is you can't say who said what

00:01:31.588 --> 00:01:33.090
right let's talk about the idea and the

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:36.112
idea there is uh can you find ways

00:01:36.192 --> 00:01:38.394
to connect with colleagues or other

00:01:38.454 --> 00:01:39.475
businesses without

00:01:39.995 --> 00:01:41.335
being bought formally, right?

00:01:41.856 --> 00:01:43.917
And then how can you use those economies

00:01:43.956 --> 00:01:45.757
of scale to get things that are better,

00:01:45.878 --> 00:01:47.358
either better,

00:01:47.757 --> 00:01:49.337
higher payment or lower cost?

00:01:49.358 --> 00:01:51.838
I mean, think of the European Union,

00:01:51.938 --> 00:01:52.239
right?

00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:53.478
You retain your autonomy,

00:01:53.718 --> 00:01:54.700
you retain your borders,

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.219
but you open them up so that you

00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.040
can have a collective bargaining,

00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.700
you can have collective currency,

00:02:00.281 --> 00:02:02.260
like just use that as a narrative for

00:02:02.281 --> 00:02:03.042
physical therapy practice.

00:02:03.102 --> 00:02:05.042
So you keep your autonomy and agency,

00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:06.561
but you are able to share some of

00:02:06.582 --> 00:02:08.263
the risk, able to share your borders.

00:02:08.923 --> 00:02:10.445
able to share some of their common

00:02:10.506 --> 00:02:10.985
expenses.

00:02:11.106 --> 00:02:12.228
So it's logical.

00:02:12.729 --> 00:02:14.330
Certainly there's movement in the right

00:02:14.350 --> 00:02:14.632
direction.

00:02:15.573 --> 00:02:16.835
It's not the only organization that's

00:02:16.875 --> 00:02:17.194
uniting.

00:02:17.294 --> 00:02:18.396
Hopefully there's going to be more of a

00:02:18.417 --> 00:02:19.878
grassroots movement around the country to

00:02:19.899 --> 00:02:20.219
do this,

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:20.439
but

00:02:21.215 --> 00:02:22.836
It's still a fractured ecosystem.

00:02:23.076 --> 00:02:24.638
And so by majority,

00:02:24.737 --> 00:02:26.599
we either lose private practices because

00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.622
they sell or we lose them because they

00:02:28.662 --> 00:02:29.042
close.

00:02:30.663 --> 00:02:32.586
What is something, my second question,

00:02:32.626 --> 00:02:34.627
what is something that isn't on the

00:02:34.668 --> 00:02:35.087
docket?

00:02:35.527 --> 00:02:38.450
You're the guy who reads the instructions,

00:02:38.510 --> 00:02:39.891
is my guess on you.

00:02:40.372 --> 00:02:41.633
What's something that you were reading and

00:02:41.674 --> 00:02:43.354
going, why are we not talking about this?

00:02:45.257 --> 00:02:48.337
I think the theme of diamonds under

00:02:48.377 --> 00:02:48.758
pressure.

00:02:48.818 --> 00:02:50.237
That's the theme this year, yeah.

00:02:50.258 --> 00:02:52.079
I don't know if it's closely related to

00:02:52.098 --> 00:02:53.099
the actual topics that are being

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:53.500
discussed.

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.540
I think it was just the theme, yeah.

00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:56.200
It's a nice theme.

00:02:56.221 --> 00:02:56.841
It sounds good.

00:02:56.920 --> 00:02:58.361
It certainly gets a buy-in.

00:02:58.382 --> 00:02:59.322
It's like, yeah, we're hurting.

00:02:59.342 --> 00:03:00.703
Let's see how we can get better.

00:03:01.062 --> 00:03:02.603
Teaching resilience is a skill.

00:03:03.264 --> 00:03:04.524
I think to teach resilience,

00:03:04.584 --> 00:03:06.085
you have to have topics that actually

00:03:06.245 --> 00:03:06.824
empower you.

00:03:07.625 --> 00:03:09.706
to withstand some of that stress under

00:03:09.747 --> 00:03:10.127
pressure.

00:03:10.247 --> 00:03:12.368
And if you're going to turn this coal

00:03:12.389 --> 00:03:14.290
into a diamond, teach people how.

00:03:15.091 --> 00:03:16.611
Don't give them ten thousand years until

00:03:16.632 --> 00:03:17.932
they actually turn into that.

00:03:18.894 --> 00:03:19.854
We forgot to add that.

00:03:19.955 --> 00:03:21.336
It is pressure that turns coal into

00:03:21.376 --> 00:03:21.695
diamonds.

00:03:21.735 --> 00:03:23.016
It is also a long time.

00:03:23.318 --> 00:03:24.457
Yeah, for sure.

00:03:24.799 --> 00:03:25.939
It takes millennia.

00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:27.120
And if you want to expedite the process,

00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:28.300
you have to have an external source.

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:30.543
You have to have that pressure source from

00:03:30.582 --> 00:03:31.183
somewhere else.

00:03:31.883 --> 00:03:32.524
So, yeah.

00:03:32.623 --> 00:03:34.064
If you were to talk next year,

00:03:34.264 --> 00:03:36.506
what would you say this needs to be

00:03:36.706 --> 00:03:38.447
on the docket, idea-wise?

00:03:38.467 --> 00:03:40.788
No, that's a terrific question.

00:03:41.389 --> 00:03:43.629
I think next year on the docket,

00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:46.031
you need to have a greater voice of

00:03:46.170 --> 00:03:48.171
other professions that are presented here.

00:03:48.231 --> 00:03:49.932
You need digital health providers to be

00:03:49.953 --> 00:03:50.152
present.

00:03:50.173 --> 00:03:50.693
That's interesting.

00:03:52.533 --> 00:03:55.055
Half of the economic equity in physical

00:03:55.094 --> 00:03:56.116
therapy is digital health,

00:03:56.496 --> 00:03:57.316
and they're not present.

00:03:57.996 --> 00:03:59.317
PTAs need to be here.

00:03:59.437 --> 00:04:01.777
PTAs are the troops on the ground.

00:04:01.798 --> 00:04:02.937
They're the ones delivering care.

00:04:03.358 --> 00:04:05.038
I don't see them represented in any

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:05.519
panels.

00:04:06.058 --> 00:04:06.939
So if you're going to have someone

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:08.020
delivering care for you,

00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:09.401
they should have voice.

00:04:09.561 --> 00:04:10.800
Yeah, PTAs,

00:04:11.681 --> 00:04:14.263
and I'm not the policy politics part of

00:04:14.483 --> 00:04:15.002
PT.

00:04:15.383 --> 00:04:16.762
I like the fact that some other people

00:04:16.783 --> 00:04:17.004
do it,

00:04:17.024 --> 00:04:19.944
but PTAs were just getting basic rights in

00:04:20.084 --> 00:04:20.704
a PTA environment.

00:04:21.511 --> 00:04:23.172
mean still working for basic for sure

00:04:23.192 --> 00:04:24.312
right of course it was like why don't

00:04:24.331 --> 00:04:25.831
the ptas show up i'm like would you

00:04:26.192 --> 00:04:29.153
no exactly but how do you expect it

00:04:29.252 --> 00:04:31.293
economically to give them a bigger burden

00:04:31.473 --> 00:04:33.394
of delivery care process without giving

00:04:33.415 --> 00:04:35.014
them representation and giving them voice

00:04:35.115 --> 00:04:37.396
so i would love to see a broader

00:04:37.495 --> 00:04:39.437
representation we can maintain this

00:04:39.476 --> 00:04:42.177
exclusive pt only club yeah and still

00:04:42.218 --> 00:04:43.218
expect equity yeah

00:04:43.798 --> 00:04:45.978
uh what's something that not a lot of

00:04:45.999 --> 00:04:48.439
people have on their bingo card right now

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.062
as we record in january that will become

00:04:52.401 --> 00:04:54.903
a thing in the next twelve months like

00:04:54.923 --> 00:04:56.423
something that people are not gonna see

00:04:56.845 --> 00:04:58.625
we'll say most people aren't gonna see

00:04:58.685 --> 00:05:00.045
coming in his issue there's a lot of

00:05:00.086 --> 00:05:01.226
policy changes law

00:05:01.927 --> 00:05:03.327
And maybe they're like, well,

00:05:03.668 --> 00:05:04.428
I saw the law change,

00:05:04.468 --> 00:05:05.709
but I haven't felt that yet.

00:05:05.889 --> 00:05:07.250
What's something in the next twelve months

00:05:07.271 --> 00:05:09.091
that people are sleeping on that they're

00:05:09.112 --> 00:05:10.033
going to be affected by?

00:05:10.333 --> 00:05:12.334
So not to be a bearer of bad

00:05:12.353 --> 00:05:12.675
news,

00:05:12.714 --> 00:05:14.716
but your bread and butter of outpatient

00:05:14.735 --> 00:05:15.677
physical therapy business,

00:05:15.757 --> 00:05:17.398
your post-operative cases are going to

00:05:17.418 --> 00:05:18.259
start to disappear.

00:05:18.559 --> 00:05:19.499
Why is that?

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.759
Your risk-based contracts,

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:22.641
your hospitals become stakeholders in your

00:05:22.661 --> 00:05:22.901
risk.

00:05:23.442 --> 00:05:24.682
And when the hospital is a stakeholder in

00:05:24.702 --> 00:05:24.942
the risk,

00:05:24.963 --> 00:05:26.904
they will retain most of their delivery

00:05:26.944 --> 00:05:27.425
processes.

00:05:27.937 --> 00:05:29.598
So your mom and pop shop that is

00:05:29.658 --> 00:05:31.560
now taking care of your ACL high school

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.060
population,

00:05:32.081 --> 00:05:33.682
which is great because it's like six

00:05:33.742 --> 00:05:35.182
months of guaranteed utilization.

00:05:35.783 --> 00:05:36.524
Once that disappears,

00:05:36.564 --> 00:05:37.665
what are you going to do to occupy

00:05:37.685 --> 00:05:38.545
your therapist time?

00:05:39.004 --> 00:05:44.028
So be aware of these models that are

00:05:44.069 --> 00:05:44.509
emerging.

00:05:44.548 --> 00:05:45.589
These are tenure models.

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:46.911
And the reason why they're tenure models

00:05:46.951 --> 00:05:48.992
is they're not expected to be fully live

00:05:49.432 --> 00:05:50.552
until twenty, twenty seven, twenty,

00:05:50.572 --> 00:05:50.872
twenty eight.

00:05:50.892 --> 00:05:51.593
But they're here.

00:05:52.053 --> 00:05:53.415
So your team, your access,

00:05:53.495 --> 00:05:55.898
your wiser models, they're here.

00:05:56.317 --> 00:05:57.798
They're a ten-year roadmap.

00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:58.939
They have a runway.

00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:00.762
And right now, you're just taking off.

00:06:00.961 --> 00:06:02.644
So are you ready to deliver care?

00:06:02.704 --> 00:06:04.024
Are you ready to collect outcomes?

00:06:04.425 --> 00:06:05.386
Do you have the infrastructure?

00:06:05.406 --> 00:06:06.326
Do you have the technology?

00:06:08.589 --> 00:06:10.130
So yeah, I think that's... All right,

00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:11.250
well, someone who's like, you said,

00:06:11.271 --> 00:06:12.170
I hate to be the bearer of bad

00:06:12.211 --> 00:06:13.411
news, but you were.

00:06:14.531 --> 00:06:16.733
What should someone be doing, reading?

00:06:17.312 --> 00:06:18.774
Where should they be skating to?

00:06:19.673 --> 00:06:23.435
I think one positive effect of CMS is

00:06:23.896 --> 00:06:25.615
there's full transparency about it.

00:06:25.675 --> 00:06:26.497
Right, they put it in writing.

00:06:26.656 --> 00:06:28.117
It's a lot of writing, but it's there.

00:06:28.137 --> 00:06:28.677
It's a lot of writing,

00:06:28.737 --> 00:06:29.978
but we live in a day and age

00:06:29.997 --> 00:06:31.098
where you have Chet GPT.

00:06:31.237 --> 00:06:31.939
Right, right, right, right.

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:33.478
Ask it to summarize it for you,

00:06:33.538 --> 00:06:35.060
and you become an educated consumer.

00:06:37.161 --> 00:06:39.382
I learned logical fallacies on the drive

00:06:39.423 --> 00:06:39.884
down here.

00:06:39.903 --> 00:06:40.184
I was like,

00:06:40.244 --> 00:06:41.084
I know they were a thing,

00:06:41.125 --> 00:06:42.526
but I'm like, teach this to me,

00:06:42.865 --> 00:06:44.007
then give me an example,

00:06:44.408 --> 00:06:46.048
then give me a multiple choice quiz.

00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:47.370
And I learned it in two hours.

00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:49.591
So it's democratization of information.

00:06:49.672 --> 00:06:50.192
It's wild.

00:06:50.312 --> 00:06:52.375
We are living in an age where knowledge

00:06:52.475 --> 00:06:53.415
is democratized.

00:06:53.435 --> 00:06:54.617
It's free, almost free.

00:06:55.117 --> 00:06:56.338
you just have to be a smart consumer

00:06:56.358 --> 00:06:59.701
so go to see a master website download

00:06:59.721 --> 00:07:01.141
those documents and ask chad gpt to

00:07:01.161 --> 00:07:03.903
summarize it for you step one step two

00:07:03.983 --> 00:07:05.704
look into your existing infrastructure are

00:07:05.745 --> 00:07:08.466
you ready to create a checklist create

00:07:08.487 --> 00:07:10.009
like go through the same chad gpt

00:07:10.028 --> 00:07:11.610
conversation and say what do i need to

00:07:12.029 --> 00:07:15.233
do exactly what i run an outpatient

00:07:15.252 --> 00:07:16.853
physical therapy practice in arkansas

00:07:17.394 --> 00:07:19.435
what are my steps to participate in these

00:07:19.476 --> 00:07:20.276
risk-based models?

00:07:20.396 --> 00:07:21.317
Give me a checklist.

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.120
Now you are an educated consumer.

00:07:24.141 --> 00:07:24.882
Now you're prepared.

00:07:25.062 --> 00:07:26.463
And then start checking off those boxes.

00:07:26.944 --> 00:07:28.144
The last part is really important too,

00:07:28.466 --> 00:07:29.245
checking off the boxes.

00:07:29.266 --> 00:07:29.947
Oh, for sure.

00:07:31.007 --> 00:07:32.189
We always want the brochure.

00:07:32.309 --> 00:07:33.209
Give me the checklist.

00:07:33.391 --> 00:07:34.250
I now feel safe.

00:07:35.295 --> 00:07:36.697
still need to act on it yeah i

00:07:36.716 --> 00:07:37.836
need you we need you to act on

00:07:37.857 --> 00:07:41.598
it you remember those days when dating was

00:07:41.619 --> 00:07:43.240
a thing right i remember that like i've

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:44.761
been married for too long so my memory

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.341
is very faint but uh you if you

00:07:47.401 --> 00:07:49.223
wanted uh somebody to respond to your

00:07:49.242 --> 00:07:50.244
phone call you have to make a phone

00:07:50.283 --> 00:07:50.444
call

00:07:51.244 --> 00:07:52.644
um so you you have to be the

00:07:52.745 --> 00:07:54.146
one taking the initiative and you have to

00:07:54.165 --> 00:07:56.706
be prepared so if you're gonna want to

00:07:56.747 --> 00:07:58.728
future proof yourself then start

00:07:58.788 --> 00:08:01.110
acknowledging that where your shortcomings

00:08:01.269 --> 00:08:03.790
are and protect yourself from them yeah uh

00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:05.932
what do you think of the room uh

00:08:05.992 --> 00:08:07.392
in terms of who's in it being this

00:08:07.413 --> 00:08:09.915
your first uh gram sessions and it's hard

00:08:09.954 --> 00:08:11.136
to see everybody right we're just seeing

00:08:11.156 --> 00:08:14.577
people walk around um but there's business

00:08:15.478 --> 00:08:16.819
There's academia.

00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:18.281
There's small clinic owners.

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:19.122
There's large clinic owners.

00:08:19.141 --> 00:08:20.122
There's product companies.

00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:21.223
Who else?

00:08:21.343 --> 00:08:22.545
You mentioned PTAs.

00:08:22.584 --> 00:08:23.786
You mentioned digital health.

00:08:24.807 --> 00:08:26.168
Who else needs to be in that room?

00:08:26.649 --> 00:08:28.149
I mean, peers need to be here.

00:08:28.290 --> 00:08:29.512
Why would they come?

00:08:31.814 --> 00:08:33.255
We're assuming that peers is one

00:08:33.296 --> 00:08:35.418
homogenous system.

00:08:35.677 --> 00:08:36.779
It's a heterogeneous system.

00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:38.761
There's parts of peer ecosystem,

00:08:38.841 --> 00:08:40.323
there's parts of their ecology that is

00:08:40.364 --> 00:08:41.465
interested in what we're doing.

00:08:41.664 --> 00:08:41.985
Really?

00:08:42.105 --> 00:08:43.466
They're just getting this information

00:08:43.486 --> 00:08:45.168
through a secondary resources and tertiary

00:08:45.188 --> 00:08:45.649
resources.

00:08:46.049 --> 00:08:46.730
Why not be here?

00:08:46.770 --> 00:08:48.331
Why not extend the invitation and see what

00:08:48.912 --> 00:08:49.152
will come?

00:08:49.172 --> 00:08:50.253
We don't extend the invitation.

00:08:50.273 --> 00:08:51.193
That's what Lincoln would do.

00:08:51.214 --> 00:08:52.554
We're looking at the Lincoln Monument over

00:08:52.575 --> 00:08:53.455
there, right over the hill.

00:08:53.695 --> 00:08:54.515
That's what Lincoln would do.

00:08:54.535 --> 00:08:55.336
Extend the invitation.

00:08:55.356 --> 00:08:56.397
There's no enemies here, right?

00:08:56.417 --> 00:08:57.998
We're looking at the same picture from

00:08:58.057 --> 00:08:59.799
different vantage points and expecting

00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:00.460
different results.

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:01.260
It's not going to happen.

00:09:01.801 --> 00:09:03.062
So, yeah, start the conversation.

00:09:03.162 --> 00:09:04.902
Start the conversation that's not haggling

00:09:05.001 --> 00:09:05.682
over prices,

00:09:06.062 --> 00:09:07.322
because that's already step three.

00:09:07.383 --> 00:09:08.543
You're haggling over prices,

00:09:08.563 --> 00:09:10.284
but you haven't established ground truths.

00:09:11.304 --> 00:09:13.206
Get them here to establish ground truths.

00:09:13.245 --> 00:09:15.486
Get somebody who has knowledge of payer

00:09:15.527 --> 00:09:15.886
sources.

00:09:16.006 --> 00:09:16.226
Right now,

00:09:16.246 --> 00:09:18.028
we're talking about payer sources from a

00:09:18.067 --> 00:09:19.908
consumer side only.

00:09:19.948 --> 00:09:21.649
So are you really getting an equal

00:09:21.830 --> 00:09:22.669
representation here?

00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:23.129
Yeah.

00:09:23.149 --> 00:09:24.831
The thing that frustrated me sometimes

00:09:24.871 --> 00:09:27.855
with people is we're very people-y.

00:09:27.875 --> 00:09:29.975
My first Grime Sessions was ten years ago.

00:09:31.337 --> 00:09:33.219
And then I went back a year.

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:34.461
So I did it in twenty sixteen,

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.761
twenty seventeen, or twenty seven,

00:09:35.782 --> 00:09:36.763
twenty eighteen, whatever it was.

00:09:37.342 --> 00:09:38.663
And the problem was we were talking about

00:09:38.683 --> 00:09:40.025
the same thing the second time.

00:09:40.285 --> 00:09:42.086
And I don't have patience.

00:09:42.207 --> 00:09:43.107
You and I are right now in the

00:09:43.148 --> 00:09:44.929
hallway while the talk is going on.

00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:45.990
You and I are like, got it.

00:09:46.150 --> 00:09:46.892
I'm going to be outside.

00:09:46.932 --> 00:09:47.591
I need to walk around.

00:09:47.611 --> 00:09:48.773
I need to touch some grass.

00:09:49.714 --> 00:09:51.537
um why do we fail to do that

00:09:51.657 --> 00:09:53.840
sometimes well jimmy i i've been a

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:56.043
physical therapist for i've been talking

00:09:56.884 --> 00:10:03.453
about the value we've been talking about

00:10:03.855 --> 00:10:05.817
identity this is not a new conversation

00:10:06.278 --> 00:10:07.557
it's funny because i come in and i

00:10:07.577 --> 00:10:09.318
go this is all so new and then

00:10:09.458 --> 00:10:11.200
yeah three six nine years later i'm like

00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.659
oh same thing yeah it's it it is

00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:15.280
the same thing there's it's almost

00:10:15.301 --> 00:10:17.360
ridiculous how reproducible this is and i

00:10:17.380 --> 00:10:19.081
fully expect in twenty twenty six twenty

00:10:19.101 --> 00:10:21.423
twenty seven uh nothing changes when

00:10:21.462 --> 00:10:23.822
nothing changes so and and we're in that

00:10:24.023 --> 00:10:25.823
same perpetual cycle of nothing changing

00:10:25.964 --> 00:10:27.845
yeah so and then we have agents of

00:10:27.884 --> 00:10:29.145
change so we have people calling for

00:10:29.166 --> 00:10:30.547
change but just calling for change without

00:10:30.567 --> 00:10:32.467
actually that's what it felt like it felt

00:10:32.508 --> 00:10:34.849
like what do we want change when do

00:10:34.869 --> 00:10:36.429
we want it now how will we get

00:10:36.490 --> 00:10:38.691
it someone else or i already did my

00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:40.451
part i said what should be changed but

00:10:40.812 --> 00:10:44.634
people are people are out there in clinics

00:10:44.693 --> 00:10:46.754
or satisfying right like you we want to

00:10:46.794 --> 00:10:48.816
maximize because ideally we want it all

00:10:48.917 --> 00:10:50.496
right but it's not a binary it's a

00:10:50.537 --> 00:10:50.878
spectral

00:10:51.658 --> 00:10:53.239
thing so you you have to satisfy so

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:54.960
you have to accept suboptimal change but

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.900
change is gonna come regardless whether

00:10:56.921 --> 00:10:57.741
you want it or not you can just

00:10:57.761 --> 00:10:59.143
drive the direction of change to a certain

00:10:59.182 --> 00:11:01.063
degree yeah do you remember that simpsons

00:11:01.104 --> 00:11:03.946
episode when uh homer or the mayor mayor

00:11:03.985 --> 00:11:05.966
was running for re-election and he came in

00:11:05.986 --> 00:11:07.327
the balcony and he said like all right

00:11:07.927 --> 00:11:10.429
people of springfield uh abortions for all

00:11:10.750 --> 00:11:12.510
and people were like boo and then he's

00:11:12.530 --> 00:11:13.390
like all right people never mind them

00:11:13.871 --> 00:11:15.793
abortions for none and they're like boo

00:11:16.432 --> 00:11:19.115
abortions for some yeah everything's man

00:11:19.174 --> 00:11:20.956
Yeah, it is, it is.

00:11:20.976 --> 00:11:21.717
You just expect,

00:11:22.418 --> 00:11:23.179
if you want to be the agent of

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:23.440
change,

00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:24.620
you have to be the active ingredient.

00:11:24.660 --> 00:11:26.003
You have to drive energy into it.

00:11:27.004 --> 00:11:29.125
I've got a social experiment going on that

00:11:29.186 --> 00:11:30.827
I thought would have some reaction,

00:11:30.908 --> 00:11:32.529
and it turned out having no reaction.

00:11:32.870 --> 00:11:33.811
I'll talk to you about it.

00:11:34.744 --> 00:11:36.544
What I needed to do was go further

00:11:36.565 --> 00:11:37.466
with this, and I will.

00:11:37.546 --> 00:11:39.126
So I dropped this in a Facebook group

00:11:39.147 --> 00:11:41.828
that, are you in Tony's Facebook group?

00:11:42.109 --> 00:11:42.788
I'll get you in there.

00:11:43.809 --> 00:11:45.591
It's meant to be a bunch of people

00:11:45.610 --> 00:11:47.272
looking to create content,

00:11:48.092 --> 00:11:49.153
alternative revenue streams for

00:11:49.274 --> 00:11:49.653
practitioners.

00:11:49.874 --> 00:11:50.855
What it's turned into,

00:11:51.294 --> 00:11:52.655
a bunch of people trying to solve problems

00:11:52.676 --> 00:11:53.716
different ways, which I like.

00:11:54.317 --> 00:11:55.337
Tony Meritato,

00:11:55.437 --> 00:11:57.899
my normal co-host on our livestream,

00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:00.441
he tries to solve a thing a thousand

00:12:00.461 --> 00:12:03.081
different ways tony tries to fail as fast

00:12:03.121 --> 00:12:04.602
as possible which is good so i dropped

00:12:04.623 --> 00:12:06.024
this little social experiment i'm calling

00:12:06.083 --> 00:12:08.065
ninety nine problems pt edition and the

00:12:08.144 --> 00:12:09.885
idea was um

00:12:11.034 --> 00:12:13.756
We can't usually change the big thing

00:12:13.797 --> 00:12:14.957
first, right?

00:12:14.998 --> 00:12:16.278
Knock down a small domino,

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:17.460
it'll loop to a second, third,

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.500
then you get bigger.

00:12:19.501 --> 00:12:20.423
So my thing was,

00:12:20.503 --> 00:12:21.663
this came from an idea,

00:12:21.764 --> 00:12:24.225
I saw a guy talking in his community

00:12:25.287 --> 00:12:26.868
about medium problems.

00:12:27.369 --> 00:12:28.610
Medium problems are,

00:12:29.090 --> 00:12:30.971
first we need to describe large and small

00:12:31.032 --> 00:12:31.412
problems.

00:12:31.591 --> 00:12:32.393
Small problems are,

00:12:32.653 --> 00:12:33.974
you come out of your house and someone

00:12:33.994 --> 00:12:35.316
just left a bag of trash there.

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:37.541
I just throw it away.

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:39.121
I don't call the cops.

00:12:39.663 --> 00:12:40.263
I'll solve it.

00:12:40.283 --> 00:12:40.783
It's stupid.

00:12:40.803 --> 00:12:41.884
It's rude, but I'll just solve it.

00:12:42.044 --> 00:12:43.726
Big problems are someone drives a dumb

00:12:43.767 --> 00:12:46.429
truck through City Hall.

00:12:46.950 --> 00:12:47.551
That's big.

00:12:48.350 --> 00:12:49.832
The town is going to take care of

00:12:49.852 --> 00:12:50.013
that.

00:12:50.394 --> 00:12:52.375
The medium-sized problems are like it's

00:12:52.436 --> 00:12:53.576
too big for one person,

00:12:53.697 --> 00:12:56.659
but not big enough to ever hit the

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:59.442
number one list on the town.

00:13:00.495 --> 00:13:02.898
So he gave an example of how they

00:13:02.937 --> 00:13:04.119
solved medium problems.

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.619
And he's like,

00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:06.640
I'm giving you an example that you should

00:13:06.681 --> 00:13:07.942
take to other places.

00:13:08.062 --> 00:13:10.806
So the medium example was there were parts

00:13:11.206 --> 00:13:13.688
of the city infrastructure like sidewalks

00:13:13.889 --> 00:13:15.429
in neighborhoods that were just overgrown.

00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:17.351
It's not really big enough.

00:13:17.371 --> 00:13:18.173
It's not causing a fire.

00:13:18.192 --> 00:13:19.033
It's not causing a flood.

00:13:19.053 --> 00:13:20.034
So the town's not going to take care

00:13:20.054 --> 00:13:20.195
of it.

00:13:20.635 --> 00:13:22.798
But uncovering a sidewalk.

00:13:23.186 --> 00:13:24.067
is like a pain in the ass for

00:13:24.167 --> 00:13:24.626
one person.

00:13:24.667 --> 00:13:25.126
So he's like,

00:13:25.768 --> 00:13:26.847
we got a group of three people,

00:13:27.087 --> 00:13:28.489
and the three people all brought a friend,

00:13:28.548 --> 00:13:29.309
and now it's six.

00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:30.630
And then we did it,

00:13:31.030 --> 00:13:31.831
and while we were doing it,

00:13:31.850 --> 00:13:32.652
we shot a video,

00:13:33.032 --> 00:13:34.052
and then ten people were like,

00:13:34.092 --> 00:13:34.952
where's your next one?

00:13:35.033 --> 00:13:35.494
Next thing you know,

00:13:35.514 --> 00:13:36.293
you've got thirty people.

00:13:36.394 --> 00:13:37.514
So that was one problem.

00:13:37.934 --> 00:13:40.856
So the idea is, you've now got experience,

00:13:41.096 --> 00:13:41.918
you've got people who are like,

00:13:42.097 --> 00:13:42.837
that wasn't that hard,

00:13:43.318 --> 00:13:45.059
and there's more than one person,

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.561
and now you've got cred.

00:13:47.341 --> 00:13:48.260
So this is one of the things he

00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:48.780
was talking about,

00:13:48.821 --> 00:13:51.302
the important aspects of what maybe talk

00:13:51.322 --> 00:13:53.582
about this was now you're like,

00:13:53.682 --> 00:13:54.763
we solve problems.

00:13:54.783 --> 00:13:55.962
So the next time you go to solve

00:13:56.023 --> 00:13:56.604
a problem, you're like,

00:13:57.043 --> 00:13:59.724
I have a resume of problems solved.

00:13:59.764 --> 00:14:00.644
I solved this little one,

00:14:00.745 --> 00:14:01.945
then a bigger one, then a bigger one.

00:14:02.205 --> 00:14:02.725
So I said,

00:14:02.764 --> 00:14:04.046
could we take this to PT?

00:14:04.505 --> 00:14:06.745
What are the ninety nine problems?

00:14:06.905 --> 00:14:08.586
Let's rank them small to big.

00:14:08.947 --> 00:14:10.527
And then who wants to help me help

00:14:10.547 --> 00:14:12.508
me solve the smallest one?

00:14:12.947 --> 00:14:14.587
And we don't move on until we solve

00:14:14.628 --> 00:14:15.548
the smallest one.

00:14:15.948 --> 00:14:16.249
And then.

00:14:16.928 --> 00:14:18.249
We solved the next biggest one.

00:14:18.288 --> 00:14:19.009
But along the way,

00:14:19.029 --> 00:14:20.710
we picked up three or four more people

00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:22.210
who were like, I'll solve that problem.

00:14:22.410 --> 00:14:24.270
And now you've got a team who are

00:14:24.311 --> 00:14:25.971
now skilled at problem solving.

00:14:26.831 --> 00:14:28.331
They have a variety of skill sets and

00:14:28.371 --> 00:14:28.951
experience.

00:14:29.533 --> 00:14:30.893
The problem was, Alex,

00:14:30.952 --> 00:14:31.712
I put this post in.

00:14:31.773 --> 00:14:34.173
I said, help me figure out the problems.

00:14:34.974 --> 00:14:36.333
Nobody suggested one problem.

00:14:36.474 --> 00:14:37.394
So you have to remember,

00:14:37.434 --> 00:14:37.975
there's a couple of...

00:14:38.674 --> 00:14:39.596
problems with your problem.

00:14:39.816 --> 00:14:40.296
Okay.

00:14:40.716 --> 00:14:41.898
I can't figure out what it is because

00:14:41.937 --> 00:14:42.498
I thought it was cool.

00:14:42.618 --> 00:14:44.120
A problem with your problem is that

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.279
there's a selection bias.

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:46.701
People who will react to that post are

00:14:46.721 --> 00:14:48.082
the people that are already problem

00:14:48.102 --> 00:14:48.243
solvers.

00:14:48.263 --> 00:14:48.903
You're probably right.

00:14:49.283 --> 00:14:49.903
Yes, yes.

00:14:49.923 --> 00:14:50.544
So you're not asking,

00:14:50.764 --> 00:14:52.326
like the problem solvers are the ones that

00:14:52.365 --> 00:14:53.647
will get a reaction out of it and

00:14:53.667 --> 00:14:55.128
the ones that actually do need to be

00:14:55.148 --> 00:14:56.369
the ones for solving problems are not the

00:14:56.409 --> 00:14:57.470
ones that are reacting.

00:14:57.509 --> 00:14:58.191
Yeah, I felt that trap.

00:14:58.490 --> 00:15:00.572
right right so the second one is like

00:15:00.653 --> 00:15:02.333
you're discussing thresholds right the

00:15:02.433 --> 00:15:04.576
threshold for change there's a really good

00:15:04.596 --> 00:15:06.457
book it's called cascades uh and the

00:15:06.477 --> 00:15:09.000
gentleman is a journalist and a uh i

00:15:09.019 --> 00:15:11.461
think political scientist but uh the point

00:15:11.481 --> 00:15:13.283
is he looks into the these environmental

00:15:13.302 --> 00:15:15.565
cascades that that are agents for change

00:15:15.605 --> 00:15:17.826
so essentially it's not linear uh change

00:15:17.866 --> 00:15:19.908
right and he talks about the eastern

00:15:19.967 --> 00:15:21.570
europe when the soviet bloc fell through

00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:23.811
and it didn't happen right away but

00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:25.390
initially there was a little protest and

00:15:25.410 --> 00:15:28.072
it was people who left then there was

00:15:28.091 --> 00:15:29.712
a little bit bigger protest and then the

00:15:29.753 --> 00:15:31.413
police instead of just letting people

00:15:31.432 --> 00:15:33.333
protest started reacting which caused even

00:15:33.354 --> 00:15:34.874
bigger changes so the cascade is that

00:15:34.994 --> 00:15:37.634
non-linear amplification of a response

00:15:37.654 --> 00:15:39.716
like a hockey stick until the certain and

00:15:39.735 --> 00:15:41.596
the threshold is past a certain threshold

00:15:41.616 --> 00:15:44.157
the cascade turns into change so what is

00:15:44.277 --> 00:15:46.057
the better question would be here is what

00:15:46.118 --> 00:15:48.158
is the threshold of stress on the system

00:15:48.999 --> 00:15:50.120
for the change to occur.

00:15:50.541 --> 00:15:52.182
When is our community going to be right

00:15:52.201 --> 00:15:52.722
at that point?

00:15:52.763 --> 00:15:54.625
We're going to be like, that's it.

00:15:54.664 --> 00:15:55.765
We have to do something different.

00:15:55.885 --> 00:15:56.605
We're not there yet.

00:15:56.645 --> 00:15:56.947
Right now,

00:15:56.966 --> 00:15:58.008
we're still talking about problems.

00:15:58.028 --> 00:15:59.109
We're not talking about solutions because

00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:00.549
we're not at that threshold of change.

00:16:00.610 --> 00:16:01.510
It's not scary enough?

00:16:01.951 --> 00:16:02.792
It's not pressing enough?

00:16:02.812 --> 00:16:03.352
It could be scary,

00:16:03.552 --> 00:16:04.673
but we're okay with scaries, right?

00:16:05.054 --> 00:16:06.995
Scary is not actionable.

00:16:07.356 --> 00:16:09.099
Actionable is when I actually don't have

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.480
Brad to feed my family.

00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.780
Then it becomes actionable.

00:16:11.801 --> 00:16:12.400
So when you,

00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:15.482
there was scary that was actionable was in

00:16:15.503 --> 00:16:17.024
two thousand two when Medicare came up

00:16:17.043 --> 00:16:18.804
with a cap and fifty percent of physical

00:16:18.826 --> 00:16:19.745
therapists lost their jobs.

00:16:20.346 --> 00:16:21.967
All of a sudden that was scary because

00:16:21.988 --> 00:16:22.947
you are not employable.

00:16:23.408 --> 00:16:25.129
You have your student loans and you have

00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:25.730
to pay for them.

00:16:26.390 --> 00:16:27.490
That is actually actionable.

00:16:27.591 --> 00:16:28.711
That's when change occurred.

00:16:28.792 --> 00:16:30.173
If you look at the fundamental change in

00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:32.153
our profession early two thousands was

00:16:32.215 --> 00:16:32.495
good.

00:16:32.794 --> 00:16:34.336
Like we made a lot of positive change

00:16:34.836 --> 00:16:35.797
and then become complacent.

00:16:35.817 --> 00:16:35.996
Right.

00:16:36.216 --> 00:16:37.258
Then we have bread on the table.

00:16:37.337 --> 00:16:37.577
Right.

00:16:37.618 --> 00:16:38.438
I'm not hungry anymore.

00:16:38.578 --> 00:16:38.698
So.

00:16:38.999 --> 00:16:39.759
Oh, the line like,

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:41.480
hard times create hard men,

00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:42.740
hard men create easy times,

00:16:42.821 --> 00:16:44.602
easy times create easy men.

00:16:44.923 --> 00:16:45.523
Now it's a cycle.

00:16:45.682 --> 00:16:46.384
That fable, right?

00:16:46.423 --> 00:16:47.804
Like it went to war, like came back.

00:16:48.065 --> 00:16:50.365
There's an entire Chinese fable that goes

00:16:50.405 --> 00:16:50.785
into that.

00:16:50.826 --> 00:16:51.927
Like each step of the cycle,

00:16:51.947 --> 00:16:52.947
there's a positive and a negative.

00:16:53.467 --> 00:16:55.428
But yeah, we're not there yet.

00:16:55.448 --> 00:16:56.710
So we're still just discussing this

00:16:56.750 --> 00:16:56.990
change.

00:16:57.009 --> 00:16:58.010
And we have been for years.

00:16:58.230 --> 00:16:58.530
Yeah.

00:17:00.172 --> 00:17:02.293
i foresee that the way the government is

00:17:02.313 --> 00:17:04.435
looking at our utilization matrix is

00:17:04.455 --> 00:17:06.397
they're going to try to cap our

00:17:06.438 --> 00:17:08.138
environment and we have a potential of

00:17:08.159 --> 00:17:10.721
becoming a very niche fringe industry

00:17:11.281 --> 00:17:12.903
unless we change and part of it is

00:17:12.942 --> 00:17:14.545
what we discussed about this risk-based

00:17:14.565 --> 00:17:15.625
contracts but part of it is

00:17:16.306 --> 00:17:18.067
just identifying that what you're doing is

00:17:18.087 --> 00:17:20.108
not good enough yet like it's it's good

00:17:20.128 --> 00:17:22.691
enough for you to satisfy the bare minimum

00:17:22.891 --> 00:17:24.932
now yeah when that changes you're in

00:17:24.992 --> 00:17:26.433
trouble unless you're prepared but the

00:17:26.453 --> 00:17:28.015
threshold of failure is based on your

00:17:28.115 --> 00:17:29.876
ability to handle the stress right like

00:17:30.076 --> 00:17:33.660
your your business resilience is dependent

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.641
not on your execution right now it's

00:17:35.821 --> 00:17:38.163
dependent on how tolerant are you to when

00:17:38.182 --> 00:17:39.443
you fifty percent of your patient volume

00:17:39.463 --> 00:17:39.904
disappears

00:17:40.285 --> 00:17:42.506
can you still keep the doors open right

00:17:42.526 --> 00:17:43.705
or if the peers are going to turn

00:17:43.726 --> 00:17:44.906
away and say that you know we're just

00:17:44.926 --> 00:17:45.826
going to discount you another fifty

00:17:45.866 --> 00:17:47.267
percent and you're accepting these

00:17:47.287 --> 00:17:49.428
payments can you maintain that well and i

00:17:49.448 --> 00:17:51.288
think you can still operationalize it but

00:17:51.308 --> 00:17:52.769
are you ready i do you have these

00:17:52.949 --> 00:17:55.450
uh contingency plans and you're and you're

00:17:55.470 --> 00:17:58.010
prepared to until you're not and then you

00:17:58.030 --> 00:17:59.612
might not know what that point is but

00:17:59.632 --> 00:18:00.932
you'll know it when you get there the

00:18:00.991 --> 00:18:03.512
known unknowns and the unknown yeah like

00:18:03.532 --> 00:18:05.933
yeah so these are known unknowns but you

00:18:05.953 --> 00:18:07.273
have to protect yourself from unknown

00:18:07.334 --> 00:18:08.414
unknowns you have to have enough of a

00:18:08.494 --> 00:18:08.815
buffer

00:18:09.375 --> 00:18:10.816
That allows you to be more resilient to

00:18:10.836 --> 00:18:11.355
these changes.

00:18:11.576 --> 00:18:11.756
Yeah.

00:18:11.776 --> 00:18:12.717
All right.

00:18:12.737 --> 00:18:13.977
We're doing quick live streams.

00:18:14.897 --> 00:18:15.938
And every episode we have,

00:18:15.978 --> 00:18:17.398
we do something called the parting shot.

00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:20.480
This is the parting shot.

00:18:21.020 --> 00:18:22.422
One last mic drop moment.

00:18:23.082 --> 00:18:23.903
No pressure.

00:18:24.343 --> 00:18:26.443
Just your legacy on the line.

00:18:27.761 --> 00:18:27.942
All right.

00:18:27.981 --> 00:18:28.522
Parting shot.

00:18:28.542 --> 00:18:29.943
What do you want to leave with people?

00:18:29.963 --> 00:18:32.365
What's what's either words of scary or

00:18:32.424 --> 00:18:33.905
words of encouragement?

00:18:34.086 --> 00:18:35.146
Which way are we going to go?

00:18:35.166 --> 00:18:36.228
Oh, this is a huge opportunity.

00:18:36.807 --> 00:18:38.068
It has been a huge opportunity.

00:18:38.128 --> 00:18:39.309
I think now we just have to seize

00:18:39.329 --> 00:18:39.931
that opportunity.

00:18:40.330 --> 00:18:41.571
We have a chance that there's still

00:18:41.932 --> 00:18:43.192
probably fifty percent of the market has

00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:44.594
not been captured by anyone.

00:18:45.875 --> 00:18:47.115
Digital health providers came in and

00:18:47.155 --> 00:18:48.896
captured some parts of that market and now

00:18:48.916 --> 00:18:50.178
they have billion dollar valuation.

00:18:50.577 --> 00:18:51.699
and that's not even half of the market

00:18:51.719 --> 00:18:52.819
that's available if you look at the

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:54.721
overall economic cost of musculoskeletal

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:56.863
problems in a society it's a trillion

00:18:56.883 --> 00:18:59.345
dollar venture and we're capturing sixty

00:18:59.365 --> 00:19:02.046
five billion of it right uh so so

00:19:02.086 --> 00:19:04.989
the people who risk or the people who

00:19:05.108 --> 00:19:06.849
do the work who follow the last step

00:19:06.869 --> 00:19:08.651
give me the help me understand give me

00:19:08.671 --> 00:19:10.972
the checklist and follow the checklist

00:19:11.353 --> 00:19:13.234
will be the people who people there were

00:19:13.275 --> 00:19:15.375
the people are going to capture the other

00:19:15.977 --> 00:19:17.377
one billion dollars or one trillion

00:19:17.417 --> 00:19:17.698
dollars

00:19:18.038 --> 00:19:19.921
wow that is like it's it's just an

00:19:19.941 --> 00:19:22.265
immense financial and economic opportunity

00:19:22.926 --> 00:19:24.809
for those that are prepared yeah all right

00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:26.392
