Stop Pricing Physical Therapy Like Billing Codes

This episode of PT Breakfast Club is a practical conversation about value, access, content, and revenue in physical therapy. Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato, and Dave Kittle start with a wild sports pricing example, then bring the conversation back to the clinic: why do PTs struggle to charge for expertise when other industries clearly understand premium access?
The group digs into insurance reimbursement, cash-pay models, YouTube memberships, creator burnout, and why patient education content may become a serious business asset for PTs and clinic owners.
Key Insights
• People pay for access, status, trust, and simplicity. PTs need to understand which of those they are actually offering.
• Billing codes can train clinicians to think in units instead of outcomes, expertise, and value.
• Premium PT care and broad access are not opposites. A clinician can charge more for high-touch care while also creating lower-cost education through content, memberships, and video libraries.
• YouTube memberships may be a practical way for PTs to build education-based revenue without building a custom app.
• The biggest content barrier for many PTs is not editing, gear, or planning. It is confidence, consistency, and fear of being judged.
• A shared rehab creator network or launchpad could help PTs, OTs, and SLPs build audiences faster than working alone.
• Corporate content often fails when it feels like an ad too early. Trust has to come before the close.
Why This Matters For PTs And Clinic Owners
Clinic owners are under pressure from reimbursement, staffing, burnout, and rising patient expectations. This episode pushes the profession to think beyond the visit-based model and ask: what else can expert clinicians build with their knowledge?
For individual PTs, the message is simple: your expertise can create value outside the treatment room, but only if you are willing to publish, test, learn, and keep going.

00:00:02.438 --> 00:00:05.040
Broadcasting way too early from three
00:00:05.099 --> 00:00:06.561
separate Wi-Fi connections.
00:00:06.961 --> 00:00:10.323
It's PT Breakfast Club with Tony Maritato,
00:00:10.564 --> 00:00:17.868
Dave Kittle, and Jimmy McKay.
00:00:17.949 --> 00:00:18.129
All right.
00:00:18.149 --> 00:00:19.269
Good morning, Tony Maritato.
00:00:19.309 --> 00:00:20.231
We got a lot of things we can
00:00:20.251 --> 00:00:20.591
talk about.
00:00:20.631 --> 00:00:21.611
Which one do you want to do first?
00:00:22.393 --> 00:00:27.036
Let's talk about exchanging money and
00:00:27.096 --> 00:00:27.736
value.
00:00:27.957 --> 00:00:30.638
Let's talk about the NBA game last night.
00:00:32.048 --> 00:00:34.851
Yeah, I the Knicks lost, right?
00:00:34.911 --> 00:00:36.634
Yeah, I fell asleep before the game ended.
00:00:36.674 --> 00:00:38.777
That's I'm I fell asleep before the game
00:00:38.838 --> 00:00:39.840
ended old now.
00:00:40.725 --> 00:00:41.906
I'm not a betting man,
00:00:41.947 --> 00:00:43.548
which is a total lie because I love
00:00:43.607 --> 00:00:44.067
betting.
00:00:45.588 --> 00:00:47.829
It can be a highly addictive behavior for
00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:48.051
me.
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.091
Who in the world would not make the
00:00:51.152 --> 00:00:53.334
bet that the Knicks were going to lose?
00:00:53.914 --> 00:00:55.094
I was thinking about this.
00:00:55.255 --> 00:00:55.655
I'm like,
00:00:56.595 --> 00:01:00.057
you cannot tell me how much money is
00:01:00.097 --> 00:01:01.378
generated per game.
00:01:02.701 --> 00:01:04.623
It's a seven game best of seven.
00:01:05.442 --> 00:01:07.644
Who thinks that they're not going to get
00:01:07.683 --> 00:01:09.245
these guys to seven games?
00:01:09.864 --> 00:01:11.546
I mean, that is absurd.
00:01:11.766 --> 00:01:14.587
I would have bet everything that the Spurs
00:01:14.606 --> 00:01:16.408
were going to win last night simply
00:01:16.447 --> 00:01:18.487
because they already won two or Knicks
00:01:18.507 --> 00:01:19.388
already won two.
00:01:20.149 --> 00:01:22.510
And this is hundreds of millions of
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:23.250
dollars.
00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:26.551
They're not going to let this not go
00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:27.412
to seven games.
00:01:27.992 --> 00:01:29.352
Right.
00:01:29.371 --> 00:01:31.612
So ESPN does like those little stories,
00:01:31.632 --> 00:01:32.513
little vignettes,
00:01:33.132 --> 00:01:34.834
like the game behind the game,
00:01:34.873 --> 00:01:35.953
the story behind the story.
00:01:36.013 --> 00:01:38.155
And they were talking about who's even
00:01:38.194 --> 00:01:40.814
allowed to sit on Celebrity Row.
00:01:40.876 --> 00:01:42.715
And I never knew this was a thing.
00:01:42.775 --> 00:01:43.855
I just thought celebrities bought
00:01:43.915 --> 00:01:44.677
courtside seats.
00:01:44.697 --> 00:01:46.796
But apparently there's areas where you got
00:01:46.816 --> 00:01:50.117
to be somebody and have money to get
00:01:50.197 --> 00:01:50.337
in.
00:01:50.658 --> 00:01:53.838
There's a Knicks alumni section behind one
00:01:53.858 --> 00:01:54.578
of the baskets.
00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:55.840
I didn't realize this.
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:56.819
I'm not...
00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:00.061
a big enough basketball fan to know this
00:02:01.581 --> 00:02:02.802
which is me staying up too late to
00:02:02.822 --> 00:02:05.143
watch try to watch the game but um
00:02:05.623 --> 00:02:06.962
but apparently there was what there was
00:02:07.043 --> 00:02:08.903
bidding going on someone was trying they
00:02:08.924 --> 00:02:11.625
were they were roughly uh auctioning off a
00:02:11.664 --> 00:02:14.186
couple of seats so you're buying status so
00:02:14.306 --> 00:02:15.346
where does the story start
00:02:16.689 --> 00:02:18.349
I mean, it just, you know,
00:02:19.131 --> 00:02:22.911
I think there are lots of professional
00:02:22.950 --> 00:02:25.951
sports teams where you can't even begin to
00:02:26.012 --> 00:02:28.573
purchase good seats unless you've been
00:02:28.612 --> 00:02:29.733
purchasing good seats.
00:02:29.752 --> 00:02:31.514
You have to buy even Ferrari,
00:02:31.633 --> 00:02:33.093
like Ferrari, the car brand,
00:02:33.493 --> 00:02:36.835
you have to buy lower end Ferraris before
00:02:36.875 --> 00:02:39.854
they even let you consider buying a higher
00:02:39.996 --> 00:02:41.556
end, more specialized Ferrari.
00:02:42.135 --> 00:02:43.938
this is the way business goes and it's
00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:46.641
got me thinking about health care if you
00:02:46.662 --> 00:02:48.865
want to pull up the graphic for the
00:02:49.066 --> 00:02:51.169
the two seats that were sold for a
00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:51.969
million dollars
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.579
Like, I still don't understand this.
00:02:55.658 --> 00:02:57.080
I tried to talk to Dave about it
00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:57.599
a little bit,
00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:00.199
and I think we didn't go down the
00:03:00.259 --> 00:03:02.501
road that I was trying to go down.
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.741
My question to you,
00:03:05.320 --> 00:03:06.980
and we'll bring this to physical therapy
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:07.540
in a minute.
00:03:08.282 --> 00:03:09.701
My question to you is,
00:03:10.502 --> 00:03:12.342
if somebody is willing to pay a million
00:03:12.401 --> 00:03:15.663
dollars for a pair of seats courtside,
00:03:16.402 --> 00:03:18.622
those two seats are worth more than the
00:03:18.663 --> 00:03:20.563
million dollars they are willing to give
00:03:20.644 --> 00:03:21.144
up.
00:03:21.364 --> 00:03:21.943
Have to be.
00:03:22.762 --> 00:03:24.764
i don't understand how the conversation
00:03:24.824 --> 00:03:26.205
and i don't need this to get too
00:03:26.245 --> 00:03:28.787
political but the conversation has seemed
00:03:28.826 --> 00:03:33.050
to shift to it's you know if everybody
00:03:33.091 --> 00:03:35.112
can't afford it then nobody should get it
00:03:36.114 --> 00:03:38.336
um we see this with the world um
00:03:38.955 --> 00:03:39.697
Is it the World Cup?
00:03:39.877 --> 00:03:40.336
The soccer?
00:03:41.138 --> 00:03:41.978
You know, it's like, hey,
00:03:41.997 --> 00:03:42.899
seats are too expensive.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:43.680
Housing.
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:44.760
Housing is too expensive.
00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:47.342
It wouldn't be that expensive if people
00:03:47.383 --> 00:03:48.402
weren't buying it.
00:03:48.764 --> 00:03:50.905
These seats wouldn't have sold for a
00:03:50.944 --> 00:03:53.687
million dollars if somebody didn't value
00:03:53.747 --> 00:03:55.628
it more than the million dollars in their
00:03:55.669 --> 00:03:56.490
bank account.
00:03:57.090 --> 00:03:57.330
So...
00:03:58.330 --> 00:03:59.671
take this into healthcare,
00:04:00.331 --> 00:04:03.753
I go back to any great therapist who
00:04:03.854 --> 00:04:06.675
is spending time in the insurance system,
00:04:06.716 --> 00:04:08.736
who is spending time treating patients who
00:04:08.796 --> 00:04:10.578
don't need their expertise,
00:04:11.510 --> 00:04:13.753
is effectively wasting their time and
00:04:13.794 --> 00:04:14.314
their money.
00:04:14.615 --> 00:04:14.814
Like,
00:04:14.895 --> 00:04:16.918
I don't understand why a great therapist,
00:04:17.158 --> 00:04:18.699
I am not considering myself a great
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.262
therapist, wouldn't say, hey,
00:04:21.923 --> 00:04:24.206
I've invested this much in my education,
00:04:24.266 --> 00:04:26.430
I've invested this much in my experience,
00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.312
I've sacrificed this many years.
00:04:29.112 --> 00:04:31.514
I'm only going to see people who have
00:04:31.954 --> 00:04:35.235
real problems that require a higher level
00:04:35.915 --> 00:04:38.456
of expertise and knowledge and with that
00:04:39.016 --> 00:04:41.656
are willing to pay for the investment that
00:04:41.916 --> 00:04:44.137
I made in myself and my experience.
00:04:44.817 --> 00:04:45.137
You know,
00:04:45.377 --> 00:04:49.500
there should be that level of higher cost,
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.661
higher skill, higher knowledge.
00:04:52.641 --> 00:04:55.601
But there seems to be a resistance to
00:04:55.661 --> 00:04:55.742
it.
00:04:56.766 --> 00:04:56.886
Well,
00:04:56.906 --> 00:04:58.987
I think things like sports are in higher
00:04:59.026 --> 00:05:01.088
demand and more visible and they are
00:05:01.488 --> 00:05:02.750
wants, not needs.
00:05:03.089 --> 00:05:04.350
So we will pay higher for them.
00:05:04.471 --> 00:05:05.091
We just will.
00:05:05.690 --> 00:05:06.911
As an example of the thing on the
00:05:06.951 --> 00:05:08.473
screen in terms of paying one,
00:05:08.533 --> 00:05:11.435
was it one million dollars winning auction
00:05:11.454 --> 00:05:11.694
bid?
00:05:12.134 --> 00:05:13.795
So they were half a million dollars a
00:05:13.935 --> 00:05:14.297
seat.
00:05:15.286 --> 00:05:17.528
for game three right that's way more
00:05:17.548 --> 00:05:19.610
affordable it's very affordable right
00:05:19.649 --> 00:05:21.071
because you're getting two seats right and
00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:22.771
then who are you sit who's on your
00:05:22.831 --> 00:05:24.252
left and who's on your right you're
00:05:24.293 --> 00:05:27.375
actually you're rubbing elbows um football
00:05:27.394 --> 00:05:29.255
has done this with it are you familiar
00:05:29.276 --> 00:05:32.999
with the psls no so it how much
00:05:33.038 --> 00:05:35.079
does uh you live in ohio right how
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.781
much does it cost for season tickets for
00:05:36.821 --> 00:05:37.382
the browns
00:05:38.704 --> 00:05:39.524
We're paying the list, but yeah,
00:05:39.545 --> 00:05:41.925
I don't know.
00:05:41.966 --> 00:05:43.406
First, you have to buy a PSL,
00:05:43.687 --> 00:05:45.247
a professional seat license,
00:05:45.567 --> 00:05:46.449
which is what you're talking about.
00:05:46.629 --> 00:05:48.370
Essentially, you have to say,
00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:49.850
here's my down payment,
00:05:50.151 --> 00:05:51.432
and now I'll pay for the seat.
00:05:51.711 --> 00:05:52.992
You're paying for permission,
00:05:53.312 --> 00:05:54.473
then you pay for the seat.
00:05:55.254 --> 00:05:57.115
And it's just the next logical step.
00:05:57.154 --> 00:05:59.216
I mean, PSLs have been around for years.
00:05:59.797 --> 00:06:01.057
I look at them because to me,
00:06:02.228 --> 00:06:03.189
I like sports.
00:06:04.069 --> 00:06:05.930
I don't know that I love sports anymore,
00:06:05.970 --> 00:06:07.451
that it's, you know, prime driver.
00:06:08.130 --> 00:06:09.190
I would go to a game.
00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:10.692
But my first question is how much?
00:06:11.132 --> 00:06:12.512
Because if I'm going to enjoy the game,
00:06:13.033 --> 00:06:13.312
you know,
00:06:13.634 --> 00:06:15.855
a consumer electronic purchase for,
00:06:16.154 --> 00:06:16.355
you know,
00:06:16.375 --> 00:06:18.795
a seventy five inch TV is less than
00:06:18.855 --> 00:06:21.536
parking now, probably for for two games.
00:06:21.596 --> 00:06:21.757
Right.
00:06:21.817 --> 00:06:22.677
And I'd rather be like,
00:06:23.077 --> 00:06:24.178
I can have any food I want.
00:06:24.238 --> 00:06:25.358
I can order whatever I want.
00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.360
I don't have to drive.
00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:27.240
Cool.
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.540
I'll watch it on my big screen.
00:06:29.394 --> 00:06:30.593
So you have to ask yourself what you're
00:06:30.613 --> 00:06:30.975
valuing.
00:06:31.235 --> 00:06:32.795
When I lived in New York City, though,
00:06:33.115 --> 00:06:36.336
it was more doing things because you were
00:06:36.375 --> 00:06:36.757
there.
00:06:37.557 --> 00:06:38.257
That was the thing.
00:06:38.276 --> 00:06:38.817
You were there.
00:06:39.016 --> 00:06:40.077
Everything was accessible.
00:06:40.098 --> 00:06:41.577
You could get to Madison Square Garden
00:06:41.617 --> 00:06:43.238
with two subway stops.
00:06:45.161 --> 00:06:47.403
you're buying access, right?
00:06:47.704 --> 00:06:49.245
I mean,
00:06:49.264 --> 00:06:53.507
what were the cheapest seats in Madison
00:06:53.526 --> 00:06:54.067
Square Garden?
00:06:54.187 --> 00:06:56.389
Let's say they were five thousand dollars
00:06:56.428 --> 00:06:57.990
or something like that inflated value.
00:06:58.269 --> 00:06:59.310
You're still in the room.
00:06:59.730 --> 00:06:59.831
Oh,
00:06:59.891 --> 00:07:01.791
you're telling me you wanted to be close.
00:07:02.132 --> 00:07:04.694
Not only close, can't get closer.
00:07:04.954 --> 00:07:07.334
Jay-Z famously says in one of his songs,
00:07:07.454 --> 00:07:08.536
I could trip a referee,
00:07:08.836 --> 00:07:10.137
meaning his feet are on the court.
00:07:10.656 --> 00:07:11.577
And then you're getting on TV.
00:07:13.158 --> 00:07:14.480
And you get to say that you bought
00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:15.000
it.
00:07:16.081 --> 00:07:19.702
So I think it's a status thing for
00:07:19.742 --> 00:07:22.464
basketball or football or baseball.
00:07:23.425 --> 00:07:25.708
I think you're trying to sell a simplicity
00:07:25.747 --> 00:07:28.750
thing or an access thing for healthcare or
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:29.490
for medicine.
00:07:29.529 --> 00:07:31.271
And I think some people do value that.
00:07:31.971 --> 00:07:32.773
And in my mind,
00:07:32.833 --> 00:07:34.353
I feel like that's the way it's going.
00:07:34.913 --> 00:07:36.815
It would be hard pressed to not see
00:07:36.855 --> 00:07:37.055
that.
00:07:39.761 --> 00:07:42.021
Why don't more, at least in our world,
00:07:42.423 --> 00:07:44.142
PTs, OTs, SLPs,
00:07:44.202 --> 00:07:46.884
why are they not embracing this with open
00:07:47.043 --> 00:07:47.264
arms?
00:07:47.805 --> 00:07:50.446
Why are they not acknowledging, hey, I,
00:07:50.485 --> 00:07:51.206
the professional,
00:07:51.245 --> 00:07:53.086
have invested all of this extra time,
00:07:53.146 --> 00:07:54.627
money, effort, expense.
00:07:56.288 --> 00:08:00.048
I should be and will be requiring more
00:08:00.088 --> 00:08:01.050
compensation.
00:08:01.810 --> 00:08:02.951
But in exchange,
00:08:03.531 --> 00:08:05.113
I'm not going to waste air quotes,
00:08:05.173 --> 00:08:08.076
waste it on easy things like let the
00:08:08.216 --> 00:08:09.098
easy conditions,
00:08:09.177 --> 00:08:11.880
let the easy stuff go to digital health,
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.762
go to other platforms,
00:08:13.803 --> 00:08:15.745
which we'll talk about YouTube here in a
00:08:15.805 --> 00:08:17.286
minute.
00:08:17.447 --> 00:08:19.769
And you just focus on the stuff that
00:08:19.949 --> 00:08:22.213
really requires your level of knowledge
00:08:22.233 --> 00:08:23.014
and expertise.
00:08:25.158 --> 00:08:26.418
Why wouldn't someone do it?
00:08:26.838 --> 00:08:27.860
What is the resistance?
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:28.779
Number one,
00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:30.901
for you to bring up the Peace Corps,
00:08:30.961 --> 00:08:33.062
the Peace Corps gene where I have to
00:08:33.102 --> 00:08:34.803
let everybody in and then Tony would
00:08:34.844 --> 00:08:35.183
counter.
00:08:35.565 --> 00:08:36.205
And I would agree,
00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:39.527
which is so charge a PSL,
00:08:40.126 --> 00:08:41.628
a professional seat license for your
00:08:41.648 --> 00:08:44.289
clinic for let's say you've got.
00:08:45.818 --> 00:08:47.799
ten slots a day times you've got fifty
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.160
slots fifty hours of working hours right
00:08:50.181 --> 00:08:51.160
that's what you're gonna do you decided to
00:08:51.181 --> 00:08:53.542
work ten see ten patients a day five
00:08:53.581 --> 00:08:56.123
days a week that's fifty give a sell
00:08:56.182 --> 00:08:59.124
thirty of them give away twenty but you
00:08:59.183 --> 00:09:01.825
sell the you sell the thirty for enough
00:09:02.145 --> 00:09:03.385
i heard a great line from this guy
00:09:03.426 --> 00:09:04.927
jamie brindle he's like a coach to
00:09:05.047 --> 00:09:07.488
freelancers they say how much how much do
00:09:07.528 --> 00:09:09.849
you charge for a job and he says
00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:14.129
i charge enough that i can subcontract out
00:09:14.571 --> 00:09:15.230
all the work
00:09:16.167 --> 00:09:17.106
and live on the margin.
00:09:17.586 --> 00:09:18.327
Wait, what?
00:09:19.187 --> 00:09:19.668
Wait, what?
00:09:19.888 --> 00:09:21.548
So he realizes if he's got to build
00:09:21.589 --> 00:09:23.808
a website and create graphics and build an
00:09:23.869 --> 00:09:24.729
email campaign,
00:09:24.749 --> 00:09:26.090
because that's the sort of thing he does,
00:09:26.669 --> 00:09:29.010
he charges enough, walk through this,
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:30.530
to say, well,
00:09:30.551 --> 00:09:31.791
I know a really good email person,
00:09:31.831 --> 00:09:33.011
a really good web person,
00:09:33.152 --> 00:09:34.172
a really good graphics person.
00:09:34.451 --> 00:09:36.273
It's going to cost five thousand dollars.
00:09:37.493 --> 00:09:39.354
I'm going to charge the five thousand
00:09:39.374 --> 00:09:42.173
dollars it costs plus whatever I need to
00:09:42.214 --> 00:09:42.433
live.
00:09:42.815 --> 00:09:43.695
I am the margin.
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:45.575
And I think that's a brilliant way to
00:09:45.595 --> 00:09:46.034
look at it.
00:09:46.696 --> 00:09:50.158
We won't, or I shouldn't say we won't.
00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:50.940
People do,
00:09:51.321 --> 00:09:53.442
but it'll be slower because we have been
00:09:53.482 --> 00:09:55.684
trained and it is ingrained that we are
00:09:55.725 --> 00:09:56.546
worth codes.
00:09:57.166 --> 00:09:58.768
So we are worth time codes,
00:09:59.168 --> 00:10:00.750
not actual value.
00:10:01.149 --> 00:10:03.392
Maybe the greatest trick the devil ever
00:10:03.432 --> 00:10:05.794
pulled in healthcare was sort of playing
00:10:05.835 --> 00:10:07.956
like a casino, right?
00:10:08.817 --> 00:10:10.376
where instead of betting money,
00:10:10.977 --> 00:10:13.378
which would feel scary if I'm holding
00:10:13.457 --> 00:10:15.458
money, I'm holding chips.
00:10:15.979 --> 00:10:17.058
And the chips are, I don't know,
00:10:17.078 --> 00:10:18.239
they're just different colors.
00:10:18.818 --> 00:10:24.780
So we're not exchanging time for money.
00:10:25.461 --> 00:10:27.682
We're doing our duty for time codes.
00:10:28.282 --> 00:10:29.461
So I have to be a good little
00:10:29.522 --> 00:10:31.261
soldier and get as many codes as I
00:10:31.302 --> 00:10:31.643
can.
00:10:31.663 --> 00:10:34.222
And hopefully if I build this many codes,
00:10:34.263 --> 00:10:35.383
by the time the money comes up,
00:10:35.423 --> 00:10:37.203
it's at least this much money to pay
00:10:37.244 --> 00:10:37.604
for myself.
00:10:37.923 --> 00:10:40.163
We won't, not fast enough.
00:10:40.904 --> 00:10:42.644
And it's because of our own,
00:10:42.705 --> 00:10:43.465
it's our own fault.
00:10:43.524 --> 00:10:46.625
The answer is always ourselves.
00:10:46.645 --> 00:10:47.785
I just shared an image.
00:10:47.846 --> 00:10:49.426
If you grab it from the chat and
00:10:49.466 --> 00:10:50.466
put it on the screen,
00:10:51.807 --> 00:10:53.366
you hit on a topic.
00:10:53.547 --> 00:10:54.988
I remember, you know,
00:10:55.048 --> 00:10:57.427
thinking when I first saw my local
00:10:57.447 --> 00:11:01.168
hospital's patient fees, I was like, oh,
00:11:01.188 --> 00:11:01.668
my gosh,
00:11:01.708 --> 00:11:03.609
these are like airport prices back in the
00:11:03.688 --> 00:11:04.009
eighties.
00:11:04.028 --> 00:11:04.188
Like,
00:11:04.208 --> 00:11:06.009
how could somebody charge this much is so
00:11:06.049 --> 00:11:06.490
crazy.
00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:09.490
but you know when we look at smaller
00:11:09.530 --> 00:11:11.731
private practices and this could be down
00:11:11.792 --> 00:11:14.371
to a single owner operator it could be
00:11:14.392 --> 00:11:17.312
a multi-location still we consider a small
00:11:17.352 --> 00:11:19.634
business the pricing up on the screen
00:11:19.673 --> 00:11:22.134
right now is two thousand twenty six
00:11:22.514 --> 00:11:26.035
pricing for self-pay if you don't have
00:11:26.096 --> 00:11:28.537
insurance for my local hospital and it's
00:11:28.636 --> 00:11:30.337
it's small but basically
00:11:31.258 --> 00:11:32.559
A couple of the ones that I always
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.484
highlight are a minimum complexity,
00:11:35.524 --> 00:11:37.986
twenty minute evaluation code nine seven
00:11:38.126 --> 00:11:38.908
one six one.
00:11:38.969 --> 00:11:40.931
My hospital is charging five hundred and
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:41.952
eighty one dollars.
00:11:43.216 --> 00:11:45.839
If you look at therapeutic exercise,
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:46.938
my hospital charges,
00:11:46.979 --> 00:11:48.500
two hundred and ten dollars.
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.201
The best one, non wound care E-Stim,
00:11:52.261 --> 00:11:52.543
right?
00:11:52.582 --> 00:11:55.224
Slap those pads and turn electricity into
00:11:55.283 --> 00:11:55.543
money.
00:11:56.164 --> 00:11:58.946
Six hundred and twenty six dollars.
00:11:59.486 --> 00:11:59.726
Now,
00:11:59.947 --> 00:12:01.707
I guarantee because I've talked to them,
00:12:01.927 --> 00:12:04.450
I guarantee the clinicians working in this
00:12:04.490 --> 00:12:06.711
hospital outpatient clinic have no idea
00:12:06.750 --> 00:12:07.812
what the charges are.
00:12:08.692 --> 00:12:10.476
These are outpatient charges.
00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:11.660
Your dad,
00:12:12.342 --> 00:12:15.732
my grandma could go see their orthopedic,
00:12:16.583 --> 00:12:17.703
have a little shoulder pain,
00:12:18.205 --> 00:12:19.565
get a referral for therapy,
00:12:19.605 --> 00:12:20.404
not know where to go,
00:12:20.465 --> 00:12:22.385
go to the hospital because that's the safe
00:12:22.426 --> 00:12:22.725
bet,
00:12:23.405 --> 00:12:25.506
and end up with a two thousand dollar
00:12:25.547 --> 00:12:28.028
bill for an evaluation, some E-STEM,
00:12:28.087 --> 00:12:29.888
some manual therapy if they're lucky,
00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:32.469
therapeutic exercise and some activity,
00:12:32.908 --> 00:12:33.149
right?
00:12:33.429 --> 00:12:35.289
Absolutely within the world of
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:35.990
possibility.
00:12:36.051 --> 00:12:36.230
Now,
00:12:36.791 --> 00:12:38.451
the people watching this are gonna say,
00:12:38.471 --> 00:12:40.451
oh, but Tony, of course, you know,
00:12:40.572 --> 00:12:42.212
they're not gonna get paid that much,
00:12:42.533 --> 00:12:44.352
these are inflated prices,
00:12:44.373 --> 00:12:45.433
this is what everybody does.
00:12:46.474 --> 00:12:47.615
There's two arguments to that.
00:12:47.894 --> 00:12:48.134
One,
00:12:48.255 --> 00:12:49.996
if I go to the legal department for
00:12:50.017 --> 00:12:51.859
this hospital and say, guys, come on,
00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.979
are you seriously?
00:12:53.038 --> 00:12:54.681
This is this is inflated, right?
00:12:54.701 --> 00:12:55.621
You're clearly playing.
00:12:55.761 --> 00:12:56.662
They're going to say, no,
00:12:56.763 --> 00:12:59.424
this is what it costs because we have
00:12:59.465 --> 00:13:00.264
to pay the bills.
00:13:00.586 --> 00:13:01.826
We have to pay the staff.
00:13:02.106 --> 00:13:04.509
We have to cover indigent care and all
00:13:04.548 --> 00:13:05.750
of the stuff that we're not going to
00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:06.471
get paid for.
00:13:06.630 --> 00:13:08.972
This is what the actual cost of a
00:13:09.192 --> 00:13:11.173
unit of service is.
00:13:11.193 --> 00:13:12.615
The other side of that,
00:13:12.995 --> 00:13:14.297
which goes to what you were saying
00:13:14.356 --> 00:13:14.777
earlier,
00:13:14.876 --> 00:13:15.057
is
00:13:16.115 --> 00:13:18.076
if i want to deliver a patient visit
00:13:18.136 --> 00:13:20.139
out there right now my average
00:13:20.359 --> 00:13:22.921
reimbursement from medicare typical four
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.743
unit follow-up is going to be eighty five
00:13:24.783 --> 00:13:27.424
dollars right what does it cost me to
00:13:27.465 --> 00:13:31.048
deliver that therapy i have to pay the
00:13:31.087 --> 00:13:33.149
therapist let's say on average the
00:13:33.169 --> 00:13:35.011
therapist is making forty fifty bucks an
00:13:35.052 --> 00:13:37.533
hour i have to pay an administrative
00:13:37.594 --> 00:13:37.994
person
00:13:38.595 --> 00:13:40.375
It's going to be another forty five to
00:13:40.434 --> 00:13:41.395
fifty thousand a year.
00:13:41.975 --> 00:13:43.355
I have to pay a billing person.
00:13:43.775 --> 00:13:46.535
I have to pay somebody to just manage
00:13:46.576 --> 00:13:48.537
the space, vacuum, clean,
00:13:48.976 --> 00:13:50.636
clean the toilet, empty the garbage.
00:13:51.136 --> 00:13:53.077
I have to pay somebody to manage payroll.
00:13:53.538 --> 00:13:54.817
I have to pay somebody to do the
00:13:54.878 --> 00:13:55.317
marketing.
00:13:55.817 --> 00:13:57.038
I have to pay somebody to do the
00:13:57.077 --> 00:13:59.259
accounting and the legal and compliance.
00:13:59.678 --> 00:14:01.558
Those are eight positions.
00:14:02.158 --> 00:14:03.899
None of them are working for under fifty
00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:04.620
thousand a year.
00:14:07.144 --> 00:14:09.427
The only reason why I can operate this
00:14:09.467 --> 00:14:10.809
clinic for a hundred,
00:14:11.291 --> 00:14:13.173
eighty to a hundred dollars an hour per
00:14:13.212 --> 00:14:15.836
visit is because I am willing to do
00:14:15.897 --> 00:14:16.717
all of those things.
00:14:17.219 --> 00:14:19.962
But if you divided a hundred visits a
00:14:19.982 --> 00:14:22.426
week across eight salaries,
00:14:23.663 --> 00:14:24.062
How much,
00:14:24.644 --> 00:14:26.684
a physical therapy visit would easily be a
00:14:26.745 --> 00:14:28.947
thousand dollars a visit, right?
00:14:29.086 --> 00:14:29.967
So it's like, okay,
00:14:30.067 --> 00:14:31.489
we're willing to sacrifice,
00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:32.668
I don't know for how long.
00:14:33.529 --> 00:14:35.451
We're willing to take money out of our
00:14:35.491 --> 00:14:36.131
bank account,
00:14:36.192 --> 00:14:37.653
food out of our kids' mouths,
00:14:37.712 --> 00:14:40.095
deliver the level of service that we
00:14:40.134 --> 00:14:42.596
deliver for the pennies that we receive.
00:14:43.317 --> 00:14:45.759
simply because of, as you mentioned,
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:49.565
the Peace Corps gene or our desire to
00:14:49.684 --> 00:14:52.548
help society and help these individuals
00:14:52.568 --> 00:14:55.893
maintain their independence?
00:14:55.952 --> 00:14:57.034
The jump...
00:14:58.479 --> 00:15:01.081
That would be required to change prices
00:15:01.140 --> 00:15:04.043
from what most physical therapists charge,
00:15:04.364 --> 00:15:05.985
not what they're worth, what they charge,
00:15:06.245 --> 00:15:07.746
to this, what's on the screen,
00:15:08.788 --> 00:15:11.090
is so massively huge.
00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:13.392
And it's not a math problem.
00:15:13.652 --> 00:15:14.773
It's an emotion problem.
00:15:15.332 --> 00:15:15.432
Right.
00:15:15.452 --> 00:15:16.653
Like you wouldn't be able to do it.
00:15:16.894 --> 00:15:17.715
We've talked before.
00:15:17.735 --> 00:15:20.337
We've had examples on this show and off
00:15:20.837 --> 00:15:21.719
where people have said,
00:15:23.336 --> 00:15:25.078
They've had notices they print out on
00:15:25.119 --> 00:15:25.599
their door.
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.820
They put them a door of their clinic.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.863
Just so you know, in eight months,
00:15:30.283 --> 00:15:31.923
we are going to increase our prices.
00:15:33.144 --> 00:15:34.046
Nine percent.
00:15:34.326 --> 00:15:35.768
And you're just like, at that point,
00:15:36.447 --> 00:15:38.049
increase in thirty percent because you're
00:15:38.090 --> 00:15:39.311
going to make people mad.
00:15:39.870 --> 00:15:41.673
So when you look at a price list
00:15:41.732 --> 00:15:42.693
like this.
00:15:44.215 --> 00:15:46.096
The initial the initial thought is
00:15:46.135 --> 00:15:46.517
twofold.
00:15:46.897 --> 00:15:47.597
No one's going to come.
00:15:48.649 --> 00:15:49.708
Just like Adam Sandler would say,
00:15:49.729 --> 00:15:50.590
they're all going to laugh at you.
00:15:50.909 --> 00:15:51.830
They're all going to laugh at you.
00:15:52.130 --> 00:15:52.910
Well, not everybody.
00:15:53.711 --> 00:15:55.631
And if you actually provide something that
00:15:55.731 --> 00:15:59.754
is better emotionally and tangibly that
00:15:59.774 --> 00:16:00.673
the person next door,
00:16:00.754 --> 00:16:01.634
they're just going to stay with you
00:16:01.995 --> 00:16:03.355
because I wanted to go with the person
00:16:03.375 --> 00:16:07.376
that I know.
00:16:07.616 --> 00:16:09.077
I can't see it happening.
00:16:09.177 --> 00:16:10.558
I hope it would.
00:16:11.298 --> 00:16:12.559
I don't think anybody's going to jump to
00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.399
this tomorrow.
00:16:14.565 --> 00:16:16.528
But is there a logical reason that they
00:16:16.567 --> 00:16:17.008
shouldn't?
00:16:17.349 --> 00:16:18.870
Yeah, because no one else is doing it.
00:16:20.312 --> 00:16:22.254
The ceiling is where the ceiling is in
00:16:22.274 --> 00:16:23.996
our profession because the floor will not
00:16:24.037 --> 00:16:26.520
move or the floor will move at less
00:16:26.541 --> 00:16:27.302
than inflation.
00:16:27.601 --> 00:16:28.803
So this will remain.
00:16:29.789 --> 00:16:34.153
So this is where therapists are amazing at
00:16:34.413 --> 00:16:37.076
finding alternative paths to achieve the
00:16:37.116 --> 00:16:38.177
goal, right?
00:16:38.317 --> 00:16:41.681
My patient wants a locomotive across the
00:16:41.721 --> 00:16:42.600
room.
00:16:42.682 --> 00:16:44.222
Okay, they don't have any legs.
00:16:44.623 --> 00:16:45.604
I'm going to figure out a way for
00:16:45.624 --> 00:16:46.884
them to do it, right?
00:16:46.924 --> 00:16:48.586
This is where the assistive device comes
00:16:48.647 --> 00:16:48.767
in.
00:16:49.147 --> 00:16:51.690
This is where the alternative methods come
00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:51.870
in.
00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:53.811
And so this is where,
00:16:54.331 --> 00:16:56.452
before we went live,
00:16:56.614 --> 00:16:59.995
you and I were talking about the prehab
00:17:00.035 --> 00:17:00.437
guys.
00:17:01.096 --> 00:17:01.658
Amazing.
00:17:02.158 --> 00:17:06.260
I mean, the size that they've grown to,
00:17:06.461 --> 00:17:07.623
what they've achieved,
00:17:07.843 --> 00:17:09.903
everything that they do, I just,
00:17:09.983 --> 00:17:11.105
I'm astounded.
00:17:11.144 --> 00:17:12.046
And they were doing this,
00:17:12.165 --> 00:17:13.106
you know better than me,
00:17:13.606 --> 00:17:15.229
before they were therapists, right?
00:17:15.848 --> 00:17:17.050
Like when they were in school.
00:17:17.111 --> 00:17:18.672
Yeah, I think they started their channel,
00:17:19.093 --> 00:17:20.054
their Instagram channel,
00:17:20.193 --> 00:17:21.435
the same year I started my podcast,
00:17:21.455 --> 00:17:23.317
which was in the year of my podcast.
00:17:23.337 --> 00:17:26.781
Yeah, and look at where they are,
00:17:26.842 --> 00:17:27.762
where they've come.
00:17:27.823 --> 00:17:30.665
So I look at them as a role
00:17:30.705 --> 00:17:33.249
model, even though I could be their dad,
00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:34.509
literally.
00:17:35.535 --> 00:17:37.596
And I'm like, okay,
00:17:37.676 --> 00:17:40.019
how can I monetize my time, my experience,
00:17:40.058 --> 00:17:40.839
my expertise?
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.102
How can I get to the rates that
00:17:43.221 --> 00:17:46.064
I need on an hourly basis without
00:17:46.163 --> 00:17:48.665
necessarily extracting it from insurance?
00:17:48.685 --> 00:17:50.708
Because even if insurance doubled
00:17:50.768 --> 00:17:51.769
reimbursement tomorrow,
00:17:51.788 --> 00:17:52.609
it makes no difference.
00:17:53.069 --> 00:17:54.391
It makes no difference.
00:17:54.411 --> 00:17:55.471
It's not going to get me to where
00:17:55.491 --> 00:17:55.892
I need to be.
00:17:57.894 --> 00:17:59.855
So the rehab guys put out their exercise
00:17:59.914 --> 00:18:01.056
library, their app.
00:18:01.115 --> 00:18:03.076
And I was like, that's cool.
00:18:03.416 --> 00:18:04.617
I like the idea of that,
00:18:04.657 --> 00:18:06.097
but nobody wants another app.
00:18:06.178 --> 00:18:07.979
Nobody wants to log into something.
00:18:08.179 --> 00:18:10.099
You and I have talked about their numbers.
00:18:10.641 --> 00:18:11.901
I want to say at one point on
00:18:11.921 --> 00:18:12.701
their website,
00:18:12.741 --> 00:18:14.482
they had either said eleven thousand or
00:18:14.542 --> 00:18:15.603
twenty seven thousand.
00:18:15.643 --> 00:18:17.423
I remember those in my head of,
00:18:17.523 --> 00:18:18.845
you know, people using it.
00:18:19.664 --> 00:18:21.165
And I'm like, what could I do?
00:18:21.226 --> 00:18:21.905
So, of course,
00:18:22.346 --> 00:18:24.907
I go to right now I'm using Gemini
00:18:24.968 --> 00:18:26.509
more than ChatGPT for this.
00:18:27.434 --> 00:18:27.974
I'm like, hey,
00:18:28.434 --> 00:18:30.195
here are my social media analytics,
00:18:30.556 --> 00:18:34.537
TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram.
00:18:35.257 --> 00:18:36.218
What can I do with this?
00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:39.077
And I'm looking at the prehab guys.
00:18:39.377 --> 00:18:40.659
What do you know about their business
00:18:40.719 --> 00:18:41.078
model?
00:18:41.298 --> 00:18:42.499
Tell me how I can put this all
00:18:42.538 --> 00:18:43.039
together.
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:45.359
And one of the things that I mentioned
00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:47.820
was creating this service,
00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:51.201
an exercise library specific to total knee
00:18:51.241 --> 00:18:52.801
replacement, since that's my audience.
00:18:52.821 --> 00:18:54.163
And I said, okay.
00:18:55.083 --> 00:18:57.229
if i create an app like they created
00:18:57.849 --> 00:19:00.917
versus leveraging tools that already exist
00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:03.840
What are the options like?
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.941
Don't create the app.
00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:06.321
That's thousands of dollars,
00:19:06.442 --> 00:19:07.582
months of work.
00:19:08.202 --> 00:19:09.042
It's not your jam.
00:19:09.442 --> 00:19:09.742
Yeah,
00:19:09.803 --> 00:19:12.064
hiring developers and all that stuff.
00:19:12.184 --> 00:19:12.644
I'm like, well,
00:19:12.664 --> 00:19:14.786
what about the YouTube membership option?
00:19:15.306 --> 00:19:16.385
And for those who don't know,
00:19:16.987 --> 00:19:18.707
so if you're monetized on YouTube,
00:19:19.208 --> 00:19:20.807
you can create a membership.
00:19:21.147 --> 00:19:22.689
YouTube takes thirty percent,
00:19:22.788 --> 00:19:25.851
which most therapists would go crazy
00:19:25.891 --> 00:19:26.290
about.
00:19:27.351 --> 00:19:29.153
uh implying that they think it's too
00:19:29.212 --> 00:19:32.134
expensive youtube takes thirty percent the
00:19:32.174 --> 00:19:34.435
creator gets seventy percent it's a
00:19:34.516 --> 00:19:37.637
private membership area right you set
00:19:37.678 --> 00:19:41.121
pricing you can set pricing tiers you can
00:19:41.161 --> 00:19:44.502
determine what kind of access the members
00:19:44.722 --> 00:19:47.565
have uh what kind of services they can
00:19:47.605 --> 00:19:48.145
receive
00:19:48.945 --> 00:19:49.605
And I'm like,
00:19:49.946 --> 00:19:52.847
what are realistic numbers based on case
00:19:52.887 --> 00:19:54.868
studies that have already been performed
00:19:54.949 --> 00:19:57.750
from other professional service providers?
00:19:58.510 --> 00:19:59.811
And YouTube basically said, you know,
00:19:59.832 --> 00:20:01.272
you're going to look at about one to
00:20:01.313 --> 00:20:04.295
three percent conversion rate recommended.
00:20:04.375 --> 00:20:06.496
I set pricing at five dollars a month
00:20:06.516 --> 00:20:08.737
for the low tier, nineteen dollars,
00:20:08.957 --> 00:20:11.097
twenty dollars a month for the middle
00:20:11.117 --> 00:20:11.398
tier.
00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:14.318
And so that's what I've been working on
00:20:14.358 --> 00:20:14.859
this morning.
00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:17.599
So let's talk about it because there are
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.421
some aspects to this I don't think viewers
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.520
are thinking about yet.
00:20:22.520 --> 00:20:23.840
The thing that comes up a lot for
00:20:23.861 --> 00:20:25.862
me is people don't want another app.
00:20:25.961 --> 00:20:27.422
They don't want another thing,
00:20:27.501 --> 00:20:31.462
which is where you have the Googles or
00:20:31.482 --> 00:20:33.323
the Microsoft and healthcare of the world,
00:20:33.343 --> 00:20:35.584
the prompts of the world, which is like,
00:20:35.943 --> 00:20:36.644
we're not,
00:20:36.763 --> 00:20:38.963
and I never understood this term until I'm
00:20:38.983 --> 00:20:39.944
like, oh yeah, that's what you call it.
00:20:40.224 --> 00:20:41.625
We're not a point solution.
00:20:42.622 --> 00:20:43.701
You don't want to have to get an
00:20:43.842 --> 00:20:46.482
EMR and then an RTM and then a
00:20:46.563 --> 00:20:46.942
billing,
00:20:47.243 --> 00:20:49.923
and then you figure out how to put
00:20:49.943 --> 00:20:50.605
them all together.
00:20:51.025 --> 00:20:52.884
People understand what...
00:20:52.904 --> 00:20:54.405
There's an engineering term for that.
00:20:54.665 --> 00:20:55.885
It's called points of failure.
00:20:56.226 --> 00:20:57.586
Every time you go from one thing to
00:20:57.646 --> 00:20:58.826
another, well,
00:20:58.846 --> 00:21:00.468
it's got an API and it works.
00:21:00.587 --> 00:21:02.627
It works most of the time.
00:21:02.929 --> 00:21:03.949
And when it doesn't work...
00:21:05.851 --> 00:21:07.031
You're it.
00:21:07.051 --> 00:21:08.573
There's no ID department anymore, right?
00:21:08.593 --> 00:21:10.814
There's a helpline or a chat bot that's
00:21:10.834 --> 00:21:11.473
going to help you.
00:21:12.214 --> 00:21:13.134
So number one,
00:21:13.435 --> 00:21:15.156
it either needs to be embedded in the
00:21:15.196 --> 00:21:18.479
thing I'm already using or an app I'm
00:21:18.558 --> 00:21:19.679
already using.
00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:21.861
Years ago, I'll give you an example.
00:21:22.221 --> 00:21:23.121
The idea was...
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.480
microsoft and i can't remember the name of
00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:28.540
the app they had their own like oh
00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:31.561
they had their own like internal social
00:21:31.622 --> 00:21:34.923
network they're like let's look at the
00:21:35.002 --> 00:21:37.462
rise of these social platforms let's get
00:21:37.522 --> 00:21:40.223
colleagues to do this internally and my
00:21:40.284 --> 00:21:42.164
first gut reaction was you want people to
00:21:42.224 --> 00:21:43.365
download another app
00:21:44.085 --> 00:21:46.527
to do the thing that another app already
00:21:46.586 --> 00:21:46.987
does.
00:21:47.487 --> 00:21:48.387
And they're like,
00:21:48.407 --> 00:21:49.587
we're going to make them do it.
00:21:49.828 --> 00:21:51.269
And spoiler alert, it did not work.
00:21:51.910 --> 00:21:55.352
So you are going outside of the EMR
00:21:55.451 --> 00:21:56.613
that people already use,
00:21:57.032 --> 00:21:59.674
but you're doing it on an app that
00:21:59.714 --> 00:22:01.695
they already use and they don't have to
00:22:01.836 --> 00:22:03.057
re-understand it.
00:22:03.116 --> 00:22:04.738
So for that reason,
00:22:05.038 --> 00:22:06.398
I think you've got a chance.
00:22:06.419 --> 00:22:07.318
That would be my first...
00:22:09.381 --> 00:22:11.201
red flag, but I don't think it is.
00:22:11.382 --> 00:22:12.622
Because if you're truly going to do this
00:22:12.662 --> 00:22:14.522
on YouTube, I do not think that's...
00:22:14.863 --> 00:22:16.443
I think that's staying inbounds.
00:22:16.804 --> 00:22:17.865
No one's going to download it.
00:22:18.105 --> 00:22:20.066
I'm not going to have to learn it.
00:22:20.266 --> 00:22:20.925
Quite literally,
00:22:21.026 --> 00:22:22.606
I'm not going to have to remember another
00:22:22.666 --> 00:22:24.528
login and password to do this.
00:22:24.968 --> 00:22:26.048
Therefore, I will do it.
00:22:27.785 --> 00:22:28.924
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:30.445 --> 00:22:32.445
The big things, the selling points for me,
00:22:32.486 --> 00:22:32.746
you know,
00:22:32.767 --> 00:22:34.586
so my channel right now has about eighty
00:22:34.626 --> 00:22:36.347
eight thousand subscribers.
00:22:36.448 --> 00:22:37.468
Doesn't mean anything.
00:22:38.208 --> 00:22:40.128
It's averaging about.
00:22:42.088 --> 00:22:42.588
What is it?
00:22:44.150 --> 00:22:46.190
I'm trying to think of how many views
00:22:47.151 --> 00:22:48.191
per month.
00:22:48.250 --> 00:22:49.652
Let me pull it up real quick just
00:22:49.672 --> 00:22:50.672
so I can give real numbers,
00:22:50.692 --> 00:22:52.051
because these are the numbers that I put
00:22:52.152 --> 00:22:54.272
into Gemini.
00:22:56.146 --> 00:23:01.490
We are doing one point seven million views
00:23:01.549 --> 00:23:03.830
per month, eleven thousand watch hours,
00:23:04.050 --> 00:23:06.613
adding about a thousand one point six
00:23:06.653 --> 00:23:08.453
thousand subscribers and doing about a
00:23:08.534 --> 00:23:10.015
thousand a month in ad revenue.
00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:13.982
So I put that in, it said,
00:23:14.262 --> 00:23:16.804
you know, one to three percent conversion,
00:23:17.084 --> 00:23:19.346
looking at the five dollar tier and the
00:23:19.365 --> 00:23:22.767
twenty dollar tier and put all this this
00:23:22.926 --> 00:23:23.867
these numbers together.
00:23:23.887 --> 00:23:26.189
And it really said conservatively,
00:23:26.930 --> 00:23:28.651
it should be generating three to five
00:23:28.671 --> 00:23:29.391
thousand a month.
00:23:30.765 --> 00:23:31.285
Which, you know,
00:23:31.325 --> 00:23:33.007
you look at that and you're like, well,
00:23:33.047 --> 00:23:33.626
that's not bad.
00:23:33.866 --> 00:23:37.089
Especially when I consider I've already
00:23:37.150 --> 00:23:39.192
got a couple thousand videos.
00:23:40.092 --> 00:23:42.294
I'm making videos every single day.
00:23:42.433 --> 00:23:44.596
This is nothing new for me to do.
00:23:45.316 --> 00:23:48.538
That was after the thirty percent goes to
00:23:48.838 --> 00:23:51.121
YouTube or Google in this case.
00:23:52.882 --> 00:23:54.462
And I'm like, why wouldn't I?
00:23:54.863 --> 00:23:56.263
And it increases access,
00:23:56.304 --> 00:23:57.545
which goes back to the earlier
00:23:57.585 --> 00:24:01.366
conversation of if I raise my rates to
00:24:01.467 --> 00:24:02.948
what it really should be,
00:24:03.509 --> 00:24:05.950
but I still want to have that opportunity
00:24:05.970 --> 00:24:07.931
to help people that can't afford the rates
00:24:08.271 --> 00:24:09.112
at the actual,
00:24:09.491 --> 00:24:12.554
I can't buy a million dollar seats at
00:24:12.594 --> 00:24:13.875
the Knicks game, right?
00:24:14.355 --> 00:24:16.257
But I can watch it on TV and
00:24:16.317 --> 00:24:16.757
it's free.
00:24:17.037 --> 00:24:18.438
And I'm going to enjoy it just as
00:24:18.518 --> 00:24:21.862
much with my beer and my popcorn and
00:24:21.902 --> 00:24:23.022
my food in the fridge.
00:24:24.844 --> 00:24:26.965
So this gives me a chance to scratch
00:24:27.006 --> 00:24:29.808
that itch of I want everybody to have
00:24:29.969 --> 00:24:30.569
access,
00:24:31.190 --> 00:24:33.613
even people who can't afford several
00:24:33.653 --> 00:24:34.753
hundred dollars a session.
00:24:35.390 --> 00:24:35.490
Yeah,
00:24:35.509 --> 00:24:37.431
I think the answer is the simplicity.
00:24:38.151 --> 00:24:39.412
I also look at the...
00:24:39.892 --> 00:24:41.232
And this will go into the actual...
00:24:41.853 --> 00:24:42.653
I'm using air quotes here.
00:24:42.673 --> 00:24:43.973
The quality of the video.
00:24:44.515 --> 00:24:45.875
I think people overthink it.
00:24:45.894 --> 00:24:48.276
You see a lot of the Alex Hormozis
00:24:48.316 --> 00:24:50.017
of the world who are saying,
00:24:51.057 --> 00:24:51.758
it's frequency.
00:24:51.778 --> 00:24:52.397
It's frequency.
00:24:52.618 --> 00:24:52.838
Okay.
00:24:54.199 --> 00:24:54.779
I can see that.
00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.901
You have no idea what the world is
00:24:56.921 --> 00:24:58.320
going to want or react to.
00:24:58.942 --> 00:24:59.021
Or...
00:24:59.798 --> 00:25:01.699
what the algorithm is going to share.
00:25:01.999 --> 00:25:04.799
So the goal is instead of creating two
00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:07.080
videos a week and holding your breath that
00:25:07.181 --> 00:25:09.982
one of them hits, you create a hundred.
00:25:12.443 --> 00:25:14.265
But the other flip side is we need
00:25:14.305 --> 00:25:16.826
a studio and we need this and we
00:25:16.885 --> 00:25:18.807
need scripting and it's all going to be
00:25:18.866 --> 00:25:19.346
perfect.
00:25:20.067 --> 00:25:21.827
And I would push back and say,
00:25:22.268 --> 00:25:24.169
go back to the prehab guys in twenty
00:25:24.209 --> 00:25:25.549
fifteen, twenty sixteen.
00:25:26.089 --> 00:25:27.050
And they were just sort of
00:25:27.853 --> 00:25:28.614
running and gunning.
00:25:28.693 --> 00:25:29.414
Like they would say,
00:25:29.454 --> 00:25:31.657
they'd go into the lab after class with
00:25:31.698 --> 00:25:33.840
a list of like thirty exercises and they'd
00:25:33.901 --> 00:25:37.064
treat it like, you know, breaking rocks,
00:25:37.525 --> 00:25:37.825
you know,
00:25:37.905 --> 00:25:39.126
down at the quarry and they'd say,
00:25:39.426 --> 00:25:41.009
we need these thirty videos and they'd put
00:25:41.028 --> 00:25:41.309
them up
00:25:42.676 --> 00:25:43.998
And they do it again the next day.
00:25:44.678 --> 00:25:46.398
And the real magic there is the fact
00:25:46.419 --> 00:25:47.699
that when you do that day in and
00:25:47.719 --> 00:25:48.140
day out,
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.380
next time you look up and you realize
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.461
you have a thousand videos.
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.461
But it wasn't doing a thousand videos
00:25:52.521 --> 00:25:52.882
perfect.
00:25:52.942 --> 00:25:54.782
It was getting a thousand videos.
00:25:55.042 --> 00:25:56.344
This is why I liked radio better than
00:25:56.384 --> 00:25:56.784
TV.
00:25:57.163 --> 00:26:00.266
TV was... They were so... They were so...
00:26:01.266 --> 00:26:03.406
dead set on getting things perfect that I
00:26:03.426 --> 00:26:03.727
was like,
00:26:03.807 --> 00:26:05.827
I'd rather have a thousand B pluses than
00:26:06.067 --> 00:26:07.448
one of your A pluses because your A
00:26:07.468 --> 00:26:09.689
pluses, no one notices the difference.
00:26:09.709 --> 00:26:11.150
The juice ain't worth the squeeze.
00:26:11.789 --> 00:26:14.730
So I think doing this on YouTube and
00:26:15.632 --> 00:26:17.192
you can figure out if this succeeds and
00:26:17.251 --> 00:26:18.633
fails way faster.
00:26:19.292 --> 00:26:20.534
You're going to do this for three months
00:26:20.554 --> 00:26:21.253
and be like, dude,
00:26:21.273 --> 00:26:22.334
the needle hasn't moved at all.
00:26:22.574 --> 00:26:24.434
We've made one hundred and twelve dollars.
00:26:24.474 --> 00:26:25.295
What are we doing here?
00:26:25.454 --> 00:26:27.776
I'll give it another month and maybe it'll
00:26:27.816 --> 00:26:28.176
pop.
00:26:28.297 --> 00:26:28.737
But like
00:26:29.647 --> 00:26:31.575
I think the feedback loop,
00:26:31.595 --> 00:26:32.798
the cycle is a lot shorter.
00:26:33.625 --> 00:26:34.205
Plus the thing,
00:26:34.266 --> 00:26:36.926
so my people are already on YouTube.
00:26:36.967 --> 00:26:38.688
They're already consuming the content on
00:26:38.728 --> 00:26:39.208
YouTube.
00:26:39.788 --> 00:26:41.909
They click a button and pay the monthly
00:26:41.969 --> 00:26:42.269
rate.
00:26:42.288 --> 00:26:43.548
They can cancel any time.
00:26:44.169 --> 00:26:45.589
The platform is already there.
00:26:45.769 --> 00:26:47.490
I went through the process this morning.
00:26:47.549 --> 00:26:50.030
I grabbed screenshots just to chronicle
00:26:50.691 --> 00:26:53.092
what was it like creating the membership
00:26:53.231 --> 00:26:53.551
area.
00:26:53.571 --> 00:26:54.972
It took me less than two minutes.
00:26:56.173 --> 00:26:57.752
Now it goes through a review,
00:26:58.053 --> 00:26:59.874
twenty-four hours it says on average
00:26:59.894 --> 00:27:01.314
you'll get the approval and then you can
00:27:01.334 --> 00:27:02.434
start uploading videos.
00:27:03.255 --> 00:27:05.395
Where this gets really exciting to me,
00:27:06.237 --> 00:27:08.136
you've got the three to five thousand
00:27:08.176 --> 00:27:10.378
theoretical income I would get from the
00:27:10.419 --> 00:27:10.959
membership.
00:27:11.638 --> 00:27:15.361
But what about building the Peloton
00:27:15.401 --> 00:27:16.260
version of this?
00:27:16.300 --> 00:27:19.863
So I can do private live streaming within
00:27:19.883 --> 00:27:21.183
the membership platforms.
00:27:21.844 --> 00:27:23.045
If I'm going to do that,
00:27:23.684 --> 00:27:26.007
I can start interviewing other therapists
00:27:26.027 --> 00:27:27.807
who want to build their YouTube channel.
00:27:27.847 --> 00:27:29.169
So there's value to them.
00:27:30.369 --> 00:27:32.671
Michael Derry down in Jacksonville,
00:27:32.871 --> 00:27:35.933
he's got a book, the sciatica relief book.
00:27:36.614 --> 00:27:39.236
I want to help him grow his audience.
00:27:39.695 --> 00:27:41.057
Tons of people who have had an ear
00:27:41.117 --> 00:27:43.279
replacement also develop sciatica
00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:43.921
symptoms.
00:27:44.402 --> 00:27:45.103
I bring him on.
00:27:45.242 --> 00:27:46.124
I do an interview.
00:27:46.183 --> 00:27:47.265
We plug his book.
00:27:47.305 --> 00:27:50.348
We see what kind of impact immediately it
00:27:50.388 --> 00:27:50.788
has.
00:27:51.210 --> 00:27:53.471
We share the Amazon link right there.
00:27:54.032 --> 00:27:55.775
The community has access to him.
00:27:56.655 --> 00:27:58.576
I do interviews with orthopedics.
00:27:58.977 --> 00:27:59.176
You know,
00:27:59.217 --> 00:28:01.698
I've done an orthopedic in Texas.
00:28:01.778 --> 00:28:03.278
I've done local orthopedics.
00:28:03.778 --> 00:28:05.098
Go get what you need.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.941
Again, like this brings instant access.
00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:11.821
It also establishes me as the expert
00:28:11.981 --> 00:28:14.202
because I'm bringing in other experts.
00:28:14.962 --> 00:28:16.482
But then we go to the next level
00:28:16.542 --> 00:28:17.104
and we say, OK,
00:28:17.423 --> 00:28:19.684
there's a couple up and coming clinicians
00:28:19.704 --> 00:28:21.325
who are focused on knee replacement,
00:28:21.345 --> 00:28:22.526
trying to build their audience,
00:28:22.546 --> 00:28:23.786
sell their course.
00:28:24.546 --> 00:28:25.946
We do lives online.
00:28:26.675 --> 00:28:29.199
It could be a twenty minute meditation
00:28:29.778 --> 00:28:30.740
live video.
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:32.842
It could be a twenty minute improve your
00:28:32.902 --> 00:28:33.462
flexion.
00:28:33.522 --> 00:28:35.104
It could be a twenty minute improve your
00:28:35.163 --> 00:28:35.825
extension.
00:28:36.625 --> 00:28:38.667
It could literally get to the point where
00:28:38.728 --> 00:28:41.150
people are paying me to come on for
00:28:41.269 --> 00:28:43.551
access to my audience, the clinician,
00:28:43.972 --> 00:28:45.594
the product company, you know,
00:28:45.674 --> 00:28:48.557
all of these other revenue sources,
00:28:48.917 --> 00:28:51.119
not to mention the product endorsements.
00:28:54.618 --> 00:28:56.720
Paul always writes in thoughtful questions
00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:58.300
and Paul Fath just wrote in,
00:28:58.820 --> 00:29:00.662
what do you think is the biggest friction
00:29:00.701 --> 00:29:02.182
for PTs to make content?
00:29:02.603 --> 00:29:06.304
Planning, actually making it, editing it,
00:29:06.503 --> 00:29:07.585
and then he follows up.
00:29:08.484 --> 00:29:10.425
And then what do you create to reduce
00:29:10.445 --> 00:29:10.865
the friction?
00:29:11.125 --> 00:29:13.567
I want to know Tony's answer to this
00:29:13.607 --> 00:29:15.688
question because I wrote my answer down
00:29:16.409 --> 00:29:17.229
and I want to see if we're on
00:29:17.269 --> 00:29:17.909
the same wavelength.
00:29:18.349 --> 00:29:19.950
So what do you think the biggest friction
00:29:20.009 --> 00:29:21.730
is for PTs to make content?
00:29:22.131 --> 00:29:23.051
I don't think it's on the list.
00:29:23.791 --> 00:29:24.813
While we answer,
00:29:25.452 --> 00:29:27.513
I want to know Paul's answer because Paul
00:29:27.594 --> 00:29:28.314
is growing.
00:29:28.733 --> 00:29:30.535
His TikTok is doing awesome.
00:29:30.595 --> 00:29:32.375
His social media is doing awesome.
00:29:32.415 --> 00:29:34.436
He's got his connection with Amazon.
00:29:34.836 --> 00:29:37.939
Like Paul is the person who's trying to
00:29:37.979 --> 00:29:38.878
manage the friction.
00:29:39.239 --> 00:29:39.598
Paul,
00:29:39.699 --> 00:29:42.039
Paul's forty percent ahead of who he's
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.740
asking about.
00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:43.461
Do you know what I mean?
00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:44.942
He's asking about the person who's going,
00:29:45.221 --> 00:29:45.422
well,
00:29:45.501 --> 00:29:47.202
I guess I've been hearing about this for
00:29:47.222 --> 00:29:47.522
a while.
00:29:47.782 --> 00:29:51.345
Paul's Paul has answered this question
00:29:51.384 --> 00:29:51.704
already.
00:29:52.748 --> 00:29:53.548
In my opinion.
00:29:54.288 --> 00:29:56.290
So I want to hear Paul's answer as
00:29:56.330 --> 00:29:56.471
well.
00:29:56.490 --> 00:29:58.571
But what do you think is the biggest
00:29:58.632 --> 00:30:01.094
friction for PTs to make content?
00:30:01.193 --> 00:30:02.934
I'm almost reading this as beginning to
00:30:02.974 --> 00:30:03.655
make content.
00:30:03.875 --> 00:30:05.436
I have none and I'm saying it.
00:30:05.477 --> 00:30:06.198
What do you think it is?
00:30:06.258 --> 00:30:06.438
Well,
00:30:06.478 --> 00:30:08.638
I'll tell you what sucks me back into
00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:10.361
the hole every single day.
00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:13.223
there's people not yet but they're on
00:30:13.243 --> 00:30:15.086
their way who are coming to my clinic
00:30:15.105 --> 00:30:16.989
who are expecting me be to be their
00:30:17.028 --> 00:30:20.333
therapist and i'm gonna sacrifice the
00:30:20.453 --> 00:30:23.577
upside potential of continuous revenue for
00:30:23.597 --> 00:30:25.440
a video that i could record and publish
00:30:26.181 --> 00:30:27.642
Because I'm going to spend an hour of
00:30:27.682 --> 00:30:28.902
my life that I'm never going to get
00:30:28.961 --> 00:30:31.282
back for an eighty dollar compensation.
00:30:31.403 --> 00:30:33.723
I think we get sucked into the patient
00:30:33.743 --> 00:30:34.204
care.
00:30:34.924 --> 00:30:37.266
That is the biggest friction point for me.
00:30:38.125 --> 00:30:39.467
If I'm treating a patient,
00:30:39.666 --> 00:30:41.907
other than sneaking a couple quick videos,
00:30:42.548 --> 00:30:45.630
I don't have time to do higher opportunity
00:30:45.670 --> 00:30:45.970
things.
00:30:46.710 --> 00:30:47.211
That's mine.
00:30:47.871 --> 00:30:49.672
Twenty years ago, fifteen years ago,
00:30:50.672 --> 00:30:52.973
my biggest friction point was insecurity
00:30:53.114 --> 00:30:54.734
i'm gonna get judged people are gonna look
00:30:54.755 --> 00:30:55.976
at what i'm doing and they're gonna
00:30:56.016 --> 00:30:59.979
criticize me the is it the no like
00:30:59.999 --> 00:31:02.380
you talked about this guy who who's the
00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:04.261
guy on instagram no bs or no oh
00:31:04.281 --> 00:31:07.884
yeah no bs physio or whatever yep yeah
00:31:07.923 --> 00:31:10.685
like he just rips people apart now it's
00:31:10.806 --> 00:31:13.428
so extreme that it's hilarious it's not
00:31:13.508 --> 00:31:15.489
even like insulting i don't think anybody
00:31:15.528 --> 00:31:17.671
would be insulted by him saying what he
00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:18.531
says about them
00:31:19.251 --> 00:31:21.273
But I think in the mind of the
00:31:21.534 --> 00:31:22.255
therapist,
00:31:22.375 --> 00:31:24.617
that's what they expect everybody to say
00:31:24.657 --> 00:31:25.638
about their content.
00:31:25.999 --> 00:31:29.303
What do you think?
00:31:29.323 --> 00:31:29.962
Themselves?
00:31:30.002 --> 00:31:30.183
Yeah.
00:31:31.023 --> 00:31:32.205
You are the only limiting factor.
00:31:33.874 --> 00:31:35.915
You could right now use AI or not
00:31:35.935 --> 00:31:36.836
even just Google.
00:31:36.935 --> 00:31:38.156
What camera do I buy?
00:31:38.217 --> 00:31:39.178
How do I set it up?
00:31:39.218 --> 00:31:39.979
What lighting?
00:31:40.499 --> 00:31:42.921
And you could have AI generate you fifty
00:31:43.280 --> 00:31:46.083
different topic ideas and now it could
00:31:46.202 --> 00:31:46.884
script them.
00:31:47.304 --> 00:31:49.005
You could give input like I want it
00:31:49.045 --> 00:31:51.047
to sound like this person but this.
00:31:51.106 --> 00:31:53.328
I want to be the Seth Godin of
00:31:53.368 --> 00:31:53.808
whatever.
00:31:53.848 --> 00:31:55.509
You could give it all these different
00:31:55.529 --> 00:31:57.432
things and you could be creating these
00:31:57.451 --> 00:31:59.452
things by the time this live stream is
00:31:59.532 --> 00:31:59.773
over.
00:32:00.413 --> 00:32:01.375
You were worried about
00:32:02.212 --> 00:32:03.273
What if I put all this energy in
00:32:03.294 --> 00:32:04.094
and nothing happens?
00:32:04.634 --> 00:32:05.634
They're all going to laugh at you.
00:32:05.694 --> 00:32:06.615
Someone's going to judge you.
00:32:06.955 --> 00:32:08.116
I'm going to make all this stuff and
00:32:08.156 --> 00:32:09.237
no one's going to watch it anyway,
00:32:09.498 --> 00:32:11.159
which I would say, then who cares?
00:32:11.199 --> 00:32:12.558
Because if no one watches it anyway,
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:14.000
but the answer is yourself.
00:32:14.441 --> 00:32:16.122
Luck favors the bold.
00:32:16.261 --> 00:32:17.823
Luck favors the person who actually showed
00:32:17.863 --> 00:32:18.682
up and did the thing.
00:32:19.002 --> 00:32:21.305
So I think our biggest limiting factor is
00:32:21.964 --> 00:32:22.566
ourselves.
00:32:23.826 --> 00:32:25.146
When companies come to me and they're
00:32:25.166 --> 00:32:25.326
like,
00:32:25.386 --> 00:32:26.988
we're thinking about doing this thing and
00:32:27.008 --> 00:32:29.288
they're on the teeter-totter and I think
00:32:29.328 --> 00:32:31.029
they respect me enough that I can push
00:32:31.049 --> 00:32:33.230
a little bit, I go, in six months,
00:32:33.711 --> 00:32:35.972
if someone comes along and steals this
00:32:36.053 --> 00:32:38.094
idea, who does this exact thing?
00:32:39.067 --> 00:32:41.490
How pissed would you be if they did
00:32:41.509 --> 00:32:42.029
it first?
00:32:42.391 --> 00:32:45.992
And that usually pushes them over, right?
00:32:46.193 --> 00:32:48.075
Because this is a great idea.
00:32:48.154 --> 00:32:49.395
So why aren't you acting on it?
00:32:50.676 --> 00:32:51.637
I'm not good enough.
00:32:52.117 --> 00:32:53.878
I mean, ask the people who are like,
00:32:53.898 --> 00:32:57.082
do you know, ask Dr. Joe.
00:32:57.102 --> 00:32:58.083
Do you know who I'm talking about on
00:32:58.103 --> 00:32:58.442
YouTube?
00:32:58.462 --> 00:32:59.203
Yeah, of course.
00:32:59.364 --> 00:32:59.463
Yeah.
00:33:00.551 --> 00:33:01.813
I don't know her.
00:33:02.113 --> 00:33:03.413
I think if you sat her down and
00:33:03.432 --> 00:33:03.653
said,
00:33:03.834 --> 00:33:05.413
are you the smartest PT on the planet?
00:33:05.713 --> 00:33:06.815
She would go, absolutely not.
00:33:07.295 --> 00:33:07.855
Absolutely not.
00:33:08.096 --> 00:33:08.556
She's not.
00:33:09.256 --> 00:33:11.017
Is she competent?
00:33:11.257 --> 00:33:11.557
Yes.
00:33:11.757 --> 00:33:12.337
Is she good?
00:33:12.718 --> 00:33:13.077
Yes.
00:33:15.038 --> 00:33:16.519
Is she worth being around?
00:33:16.859 --> 00:33:17.779
Is she engaging?
00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:18.460
Yes.
00:33:18.861 --> 00:33:20.721
But the biggest reason she's successful
00:33:20.861 --> 00:33:21.021
is...
00:33:22.491 --> 00:33:24.692
She hit record and she did it again
00:33:25.173 --> 00:33:25.554
and again.
00:33:25.574 --> 00:33:26.614
And then she looked at, oh,
00:33:27.414 --> 00:33:28.214
I liked that.
00:33:28.375 --> 00:33:29.976
The best is when what you like as
00:33:29.996 --> 00:33:31.676
a person creating something and the
00:33:31.777 --> 00:33:33.077
audience like the same thing.
00:33:33.397 --> 00:33:35.019
Not I'm creating for them.
00:33:35.318 --> 00:33:36.900
It's I'm creating something that has
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.259
value.
00:33:37.579 --> 00:33:39.000
I like talking about this.
00:33:39.381 --> 00:33:40.961
Who's the guy in the Facebook group who
00:33:41.001 --> 00:33:43.903
does the Parkinson's disease channel now?
00:33:43.962 --> 00:33:46.684
Michael... Hyland?
00:33:47.244 --> 00:33:47.585
Yes.
00:33:47.944 --> 00:33:48.246
Hyland.
00:33:49.826 --> 00:33:50.567
You can tell...
00:33:51.580 --> 00:33:54.644
that he really cares about educating
00:33:54.683 --> 00:33:56.244
people who are going through Parkinson's
00:33:56.265 --> 00:33:56.644
disease.
00:33:56.924 --> 00:33:59.326
You need to spend twelve seconds watching
00:33:59.386 --> 00:34:00.969
anything or reading anything he makes.
00:34:01.348 --> 00:34:02.430
It is a layup.
00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:03.891
It's a layup.
00:34:04.771 --> 00:34:06.133
And that is gold.
00:34:06.553 --> 00:34:07.713
I got really nervous when I was going
00:34:07.733 --> 00:34:09.155
into radio that I'd get a job at
00:34:09.175 --> 00:34:10.376
a radio station that I didn't like the
00:34:10.416 --> 00:34:10.697
music.
00:34:10.896 --> 00:34:11.677
Wouldn't be able to do it.
00:34:11.918 --> 00:34:12.438
Couldn't do it.
00:34:12.538 --> 00:34:14.599
Lucked out that every time I played a
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.320
song, I was like,
00:34:15.481 --> 00:34:16.440
I am excited for this.
00:34:16.621 --> 00:34:17.402
It's hard to fake it.
00:34:17.702 --> 00:34:18.463
Here's the best part.
00:34:18.742 --> 00:34:19.403
You don't have to.
00:34:20.833 --> 00:34:22.195
because you don't have to go after the
00:34:22.315 --> 00:34:23.918
largest audience possible.
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:25.521
That is not just if you're like, wow,
00:34:25.561 --> 00:34:27.184
low back pain is covered.
00:34:27.264 --> 00:34:28.304
I don't really care about that.
00:34:28.344 --> 00:34:28.525
Great.
00:34:28.565 --> 00:34:29.047
Don't do that.
00:34:30.088 --> 00:34:31.050
Go after the thing.
00:34:31.110 --> 00:34:32.431
But the biggest limiting factor,
00:34:32.452 --> 00:34:35.295
in my opinion, Paul, is yourself.
00:34:39.813 --> 00:34:40.673
Can you read it?
00:34:40.713 --> 00:34:40.893
Yeah.
00:34:41.014 --> 00:34:42.655
I've dipped a toe into content and social
00:34:42.695 --> 00:34:42.976
media.
00:34:43.016 --> 00:34:44.516
Paul saying he lost the momentum,
00:34:45.077 --> 00:34:46.338
but working to get it back on the
00:34:46.378 --> 00:34:46.659
horse.
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:48.760
Like this is common, right?
00:34:48.981 --> 00:34:50.722
So I would say if I were like
00:34:50.742 --> 00:34:52.523
having a therapy or a media session with
00:34:52.583 --> 00:34:54.405
Paul, I'd say, awesome, man.
00:34:54.646 --> 00:34:55.907
Like, what did that look like?
00:34:56.646 --> 00:34:58.168
And what was too much for you?
00:34:59.092 --> 00:35:00.434
Was it like I was doing it every
00:35:00.514 --> 00:35:01.795
single day and I couldn't?
00:35:01.916 --> 00:35:02.215
Great.
00:35:02.376 --> 00:35:03.356
I would say, awesome.
00:35:03.637 --> 00:35:04.938
What's three videos a week?
00:35:05.018 --> 00:35:06.298
And what if you did them only on
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.222
Tuesday between nine and eleven a.m.?
00:35:09.541 --> 00:35:10.302
Could you do that?
00:35:10.782 --> 00:35:12.045
And if the answer was yes, I'd go,
00:35:12.144 --> 00:35:12.324
great.
00:35:12.344 --> 00:35:13.166
Do that for six months.
00:35:13.951 --> 00:35:15.811
Because as soon as you burn out,
00:35:16.032 --> 00:35:17.773
you've got to unplug.
00:35:17.853 --> 00:35:19.795
You can't just dial it back.
00:35:19.835 --> 00:35:20.175
Trust me,
00:35:20.775 --> 00:35:22.858
I haven't done a podcast interview outside
00:35:22.878 --> 00:35:24.099
of the live streams in a couple weeks.
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:24.338
Why?
00:35:24.659 --> 00:35:25.360
Dude, I got fried.
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:27.541
I was on that pace to do three
00:35:27.561 --> 00:35:28.882
hundred and sixty five episodes in three
00:35:28.902 --> 00:35:29.623
hundred sixty five days.
00:35:29.862 --> 00:35:30.123
Actually,
00:35:30.344 --> 00:35:31.704
I still might be on that pace because
00:35:31.744 --> 00:35:32.425
I was doing like...
00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:34.601
three a day at some point.
00:35:35.181 --> 00:35:35.840
I got fried.
00:35:36.101 --> 00:35:37.742
The biggest limiting factor was I got
00:35:37.782 --> 00:35:39.563
fried and I was looking at results going,
00:35:39.844 --> 00:35:40.643
I don't know if any of this stuff
00:35:40.684 --> 00:35:41.364
is helping anybody.
00:35:41.384 --> 00:35:42.385
I don't know if I'm picking the right
00:35:42.425 --> 00:35:42.864
topics.
00:35:43.525 --> 00:35:46.166
I don't know if I care anymore, right?
00:35:46.726 --> 00:35:46.927
So.
00:35:47.268 --> 00:35:49.849
Take that idea into patient care.
00:35:50.489 --> 00:35:53.630
How many of the best therapists get fried,
00:35:53.990 --> 00:35:54.612
burn out,
00:35:54.692 --> 00:35:56.172
not because they're doing too much,
00:35:56.612 --> 00:35:59.114
but because they are doing so much for
00:35:59.213 --> 00:36:01.775
people who really have no capacity to
00:36:01.835 --> 00:36:02.295
improve.
00:36:02.996 --> 00:36:03.416
You know,
00:36:03.436 --> 00:36:05.157
or the improvement is going to be so
00:36:05.237 --> 00:36:06.518
slight on the scale.
00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:08.561
Like I can go treat a patient and
00:36:08.581 --> 00:36:09.702
get eighty five bucks.
00:36:09.802 --> 00:36:11.382
That's not going to move the needle for
00:36:11.422 --> 00:36:14.045
me that the magnitude of change.
00:36:14.606 --> 00:36:16.827
I need thousands of dollars to really make
00:36:16.867 --> 00:36:18.349
it worth the effort in the time.
00:36:18.369 --> 00:36:20.289
And at some point you do,
00:36:20.329 --> 00:36:22.231
you burn out, you get tired.
00:36:22.552 --> 00:36:24.213
And I've told Paul this before.
00:36:25.094 --> 00:36:25.313
Like,
00:36:25.574 --> 00:36:28.655
I am peaks and troughs all year long.
00:36:29.556 --> 00:36:31.777
I drop a hundred videos on YouTube and
00:36:31.797 --> 00:36:33.137
then I don't do anything for three or
00:36:33.177 --> 00:36:34.898
four months because I burn out creating
00:36:34.958 --> 00:36:36.059
those hundred videos.
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:38.400
Now, there are people, my wife,
00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:40.282
who are going to be slow and steady.
00:36:40.601 --> 00:36:41.782
They're not going to burn out.
00:36:41.822 --> 00:36:44.063
They're going to continuously work and
00:36:44.184 --> 00:36:45.983
they're going to find the pace that works
00:36:46.023 --> 00:36:46.565
for them.
00:36:47.085 --> 00:36:48.965
You and I tend to be more up
00:36:49.005 --> 00:36:50.067
high and down low.
00:36:51.166 --> 00:36:52.286
But that's just the way it is,
00:36:52.306 --> 00:36:52.527
you know,
00:36:52.547 --> 00:36:53.867
and that's why it's so hard for somebody
00:36:53.887 --> 00:36:55.927
to give advice because your personality
00:36:55.987 --> 00:36:56.829
might not match.
00:36:57.088 --> 00:36:58.548
There's a couple of things where we got
00:36:58.568 --> 00:36:59.568
a lot to go into here.
00:36:59.708 --> 00:37:00.949
So, again,
00:37:00.989 --> 00:37:02.349
this is why I went to radio,
00:37:02.429 --> 00:37:03.110
not TV.
00:37:03.269 --> 00:37:06.411
TV required me to like spend hours and
00:37:06.451 --> 00:37:08.012
hours and hours and hours and hours for
00:37:08.211 --> 00:37:09.851
one ninety second video story.
00:37:10.371 --> 00:37:11.713
And I just that was too much for
00:37:11.753 --> 00:37:11.893
me.
00:37:12.213 --> 00:37:13.012
It was so much.
00:37:14.735 --> 00:37:17.559
squeeze for so little juice where i
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.760
preferred being on the radio for five
00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:22.623
hours a day and doing a lighter lift
00:37:23.023 --> 00:37:24.525
but for longer periods of time and
00:37:24.585 --> 00:37:28.489
interacting right so you and i do go
00:37:28.530 --> 00:37:31.052
through these we go like crazy and then
00:37:31.072 --> 00:37:33.655
we're like but where's the roi and here's
00:37:33.695 --> 00:37:34.356
the funny part
00:37:35.503 --> 00:37:36.463
Paul's asking,
00:37:36.563 --> 00:37:39.045
does each person need to be on their
00:37:39.166 --> 00:37:39.965
own island?
00:37:40.405 --> 00:37:41.726
Because right now, if I have a channel,
00:37:42.208 --> 00:37:42.927
I'm my own island.
00:37:43.168 --> 00:37:44.429
And Tony's on his own island, right?
00:37:44.449 --> 00:37:44.969
If I have a podcast,
00:37:44.989 --> 00:37:45.829
you have a podcast.
00:37:46.230 --> 00:37:47.510
This is where I went back to like,
00:37:48.032 --> 00:37:50.492
I was never on my own radio station.
00:37:50.693 --> 00:37:52.594
I was always playing off of what someone
00:37:52.655 --> 00:37:53.255
else did.
00:37:53.675 --> 00:37:54.615
And we as a whole,
00:37:54.795 --> 00:37:56.818
this is where like having a TV channel
00:37:57.318 --> 00:37:59.159
or a network like ESPN,
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.041
what the SportsCenter guys do helps the
00:38:02.061 --> 00:38:03.702
rest of the network and vice versa, right?
00:38:04.507 --> 00:38:05.889
So, Paul, what do you mean by that?
00:38:05.909 --> 00:38:06.210
He says,
00:38:06.250 --> 00:38:09.213
I always go back to Jimmy's PT agents
00:38:09.253 --> 00:38:10.213
like sports agents.
00:38:10.233 --> 00:38:14.077
You know, they've done this before,
00:38:14.117 --> 00:38:15.460
like creator houses.
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.621
Have you heard about these things?
00:38:17.201 --> 00:38:17.402
You know,
00:38:17.422 --> 00:38:19.364
you rent a house on the beach, whatever,
00:38:19.764 --> 00:38:22.146
and everybody gets a room and then there's
00:38:22.166 --> 00:38:23.867
a bunch of little media stalls.
00:38:24.369 --> 00:38:24.929
Essentially,
00:38:24.949 --> 00:38:26.530
we're going to pool all the resources
00:38:26.570 --> 00:38:26.992
together.
00:38:28.364 --> 00:38:30.427
media, production, lighting, space,
00:38:30.788 --> 00:38:33.271
overhead's a giant part of it.
00:38:33.731 --> 00:38:35.152
And now also you have what's called
00:38:35.193 --> 00:38:35.833
bumpability.
00:38:36.806 --> 00:38:38.206
Where if I bring in a great guest
00:38:38.545 --> 00:38:40.047
and I do a segment with them, well,
00:38:40.067 --> 00:38:41.166
why don't you just stop in down the
00:38:41.206 --> 00:38:41.527
hallway?
00:38:41.726 --> 00:38:43.186
The radio station I worked for used to
00:38:43.226 --> 00:38:43.527
do that.
00:38:43.547 --> 00:38:45.347
It's actually how I met one of my
00:38:45.387 --> 00:38:45.907
ex-girlfriends,
00:38:46.288 --> 00:38:48.688
was the local TV news person who's
00:38:48.748 --> 00:38:50.568
promoting a thing would come on my radio
00:38:50.608 --> 00:38:50.929
station.
00:38:51.128 --> 00:38:51.889
But while you're there,
00:38:51.929 --> 00:38:53.509
there's like two doors down.
00:38:53.528 --> 00:38:54.010
There's another thing.
00:38:54.030 --> 00:38:55.409
Why don't you jump on there for fifteen
00:38:55.449 --> 00:38:55.710
minutes?
00:38:56.150 --> 00:38:58.349
But also you have things like billing or
00:38:58.610 --> 00:38:59.951
contract negotiation.
00:39:00.090 --> 00:39:02.411
Instead of having to take twenty percent
00:39:02.510 --> 00:39:03.411
of twenty deals,
00:39:03.751 --> 00:39:05.291
you can take three percent of one hundred
00:39:05.331 --> 00:39:05.632
deals.
00:39:06.231 --> 00:39:07.713
right so i think that's what paul's
00:39:07.733 --> 00:39:09.436
talking about like in in terms of agents
00:39:09.456 --> 00:39:10.697
and sports you are aimed at different
00:39:10.797 --> 00:39:12.099
audiences but i don't think you're
00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:16.585
competition i think you're more comrades
00:39:16.606 --> 00:39:18.288
than you are competition you're more
00:39:18.387 --> 00:39:19.329
you're more on the same team
00:39:20.139 --> 00:39:21.201
So this is, you know,
00:39:21.221 --> 00:39:23.663
we've talked about the barstool sports of
00:39:23.862 --> 00:39:24.903
physical therapy.
00:39:25.423 --> 00:39:27.485
There should be a centralized channel,
00:39:27.565 --> 00:39:28.726
a centralized YouTube,
00:39:28.786 --> 00:39:30.067
centralized Facebook.
00:39:31.708 --> 00:39:34.090
I would imagine the APTA would be the-
00:39:34.190 --> 00:39:36.172
I'm dumbfounded.
00:39:36.231 --> 00:39:37.172
I'm still dumbfounded.
00:39:37.213 --> 00:39:38.393
And that's the only reason I haven't done
00:39:38.414 --> 00:39:38.994
anything because I'm like,
00:39:39.054 --> 00:39:40.255
why hasn't anybody done it?
00:39:42.414 --> 00:39:44.856
I have tried in the past to say,
00:39:44.916 --> 00:39:46.717
hey guys, create videos.
00:39:46.878 --> 00:39:48.360
I'll share them to my community.
00:39:49.041 --> 00:39:51.682
I had one person create a video that
00:39:51.742 --> 00:39:53.123
I did share to my community.
00:39:54.385 --> 00:39:55.326
Nobody else has done it.
00:39:55.365 --> 00:39:57.047
You would think that you could,
00:39:57.128 --> 00:39:57.809
someone could,
00:39:57.989 --> 00:40:00.690
one could create a YouTube channel
00:40:00.751 --> 00:40:04.275
dedicated to physical therapy and create
00:40:04.534 --> 00:40:06.255
silos within that channel
00:40:07.197 --> 00:40:10.119
of you know neuro and ortho and knee
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:12.041
replacement and rotator cuff and you have
00:40:12.081 --> 00:40:14.824
your specialist they still have their own
00:40:15.184 --> 00:40:18.706
individual channels but everybody pulls
00:40:18.746 --> 00:40:21.248
the resources into this one to get it
00:40:21.289 --> 00:40:23.550
to a million followers to get the the
00:40:23.610 --> 00:40:26.634
views up and then it distributes traffic
00:40:26.753 --> 00:40:29.896
out right you have to have that way
00:40:29.936 --> 00:40:31.338
for traffic to pay off though
00:40:31.862 --> 00:40:32.443
Yeah.
00:40:32.463 --> 00:40:34.585
That's why it's like...
00:40:35.085 --> 00:40:36.385
And I've been thinking about this a lot
00:40:36.445 --> 00:40:38.007
where it's only going to get harder.
00:40:38.027 --> 00:40:38.166
I mean,
00:40:38.186 --> 00:40:39.387
there's a couple of models on how to
00:40:39.407 --> 00:40:40.548
make money with content, right?
00:40:40.588 --> 00:40:42.269
Like Tony does it where he's like a
00:40:42.369 --> 00:40:45.592
lot of views or less views and I'll
00:40:45.612 --> 00:40:47.233
take a little bit of money times a
00:40:47.293 --> 00:40:49.014
million views and I've got myself a few
00:40:49.054 --> 00:40:49.434
nickels.
00:40:50.034 --> 00:40:51.695
With podcasting, I go the other route,
00:40:51.715 --> 00:40:52.155
which is like,
00:40:52.637 --> 00:40:54.438
I'm going to sign a sponsor for no
00:40:54.478 --> 00:40:56.079
less than seven hundred fifty bucks,
00:40:56.099 --> 00:40:57.239
a thousand bucks a month.
00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:58.800
But I'm going to tell you
00:41:00.775 --> 00:41:02.577
I'm dropping three episodes a week and
00:41:02.617 --> 00:41:04.018
you're going to spend this much time with
00:41:04.038 --> 00:41:04.237
them.
00:41:04.478 --> 00:41:06.059
And I know exactly who that person is
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.380
because your neighbor who's an auto
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:09.762
mechanic is not listening to his PT
00:41:09.902 --> 00:41:10.742
related podcast.
00:41:11.083 --> 00:41:12.684
And if you want to sell CEUs or
00:41:12.704 --> 00:41:15.465
a residency or staffing to a PT,
00:41:15.985 --> 00:41:16.985
I'm one of your guys.
00:41:18.007 --> 00:41:23.329
So I look at what you just said
00:41:23.349 --> 00:41:25.490
in terms of like APTA would be perfectly
00:41:25.550 --> 00:41:25.992
leveraged.
00:41:26.092 --> 00:41:27.793
They have the brand, they have access,
00:41:27.813 --> 00:41:28.753
they have the facilities,
00:41:28.773 --> 00:41:29.594
they have the staffing.
00:41:30.666 --> 00:41:37.030
I think the next available organization
00:41:37.050 --> 00:41:38.331
that might be able to pull that off
00:41:38.371 --> 00:41:40.032
is an EMR.
00:41:40.052 --> 00:41:42.193
Because there's a payoff on the back end.
00:41:42.233 --> 00:41:45.175
The EMR company or a staffing company.
00:41:45.735 --> 00:41:47.795
The EMR company or a staffing company can
00:41:47.835 --> 00:41:48.717
look at that and go,
00:41:49.297 --> 00:41:52.338
if I put fifty grand in and I
00:41:52.418 --> 00:41:53.820
land four clients,
00:41:54.420 --> 00:41:55.701
or if I'm a staffing company,
00:41:55.900 --> 00:41:57.461
I put fifty grand in and I land...
00:41:59.103 --> 00:42:00.644
Ten travel contracts.
00:42:01.525 --> 00:42:02.927
I've paid for that self.
00:42:04.306 --> 00:42:06.989
And also, we've talked about this before,
00:42:07.590 --> 00:42:08.891
content compounds.
00:42:09.391 --> 00:42:10.831
So the stuff that I paid for in
00:42:10.891 --> 00:42:11.711
January,
00:42:12.072 --> 00:42:13.934
I can dust that off and reshare that.
00:42:14.414 --> 00:42:15.574
And the audience compounds.
00:42:15.894 --> 00:42:18.077
I was saying that APTA is probably the
00:42:18.177 --> 00:42:19.478
one organization that could pull that off,
00:42:19.498 --> 00:42:20.038
but they haven't.
00:42:20.057 --> 00:42:21.298
I don't know why.
00:42:22.605 --> 00:42:24.306
They would have to be internal profession
00:42:24.766 --> 00:42:25.266
in my mind.
00:42:25.306 --> 00:42:27.128
They are not business to public.
00:42:27.168 --> 00:42:31.411
So then I wonder if that's an opportunity
00:42:31.471 --> 00:42:34.833
for a new person to come in.
00:42:35.634 --> 00:42:36.894
It's obviously a need.
00:42:37.155 --> 00:42:39.456
It's obviously somebody that has the
00:42:39.496 --> 00:42:41.717
chops, somebody that has done it before,
00:42:42.217 --> 00:42:44.458
can grow a channel, can produce it.
00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:46.721
And it's a full time commitment.
00:42:46.740 --> 00:42:48.282
It's okay, we're going to do this.
00:42:48.621 --> 00:42:50.083
I'm sure the money is in it.
00:42:51.623 --> 00:42:53.949
But who would front that money?
00:42:53.969 --> 00:42:55.632
That's what I would say next is after
00:42:55.711 --> 00:42:56.494
APTA,
00:42:57.556 --> 00:42:59.960
the A- tier would be either a staffing
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.983
company, like a travel staffing company,
00:43:02.505 --> 00:43:03.206
or an EMR.
00:43:04.137 --> 00:43:06.059
because they're the ones that can say for
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.262
every client, for every one sale,
00:43:08.782 --> 00:43:09.784
you're not going to make money selling
00:43:09.804 --> 00:43:10.744
t-shirts on this.
00:43:11.264 --> 00:43:12.585
It would be very difficult to make money
00:43:12.626 --> 00:43:16.110
on views on this to start anyway, right?
00:43:16.349 --> 00:43:18.773
Because you're asking for a commitment of
00:43:18.932 --> 00:43:19.353
effort.
00:43:19.793 --> 00:43:21.976
And if people can't see the ROI quickly,
00:43:22.376 --> 00:43:23.918
I show up and treat a patient and
00:43:23.938 --> 00:43:24.697
then two weeks later,
00:43:25.378 --> 00:43:27.800
a check drops into my bank account.
00:43:28.460 --> 00:43:29.641
That's a fast enough loop.
00:43:30.083 --> 00:43:31.824
If someone came to me ten years ago
00:43:31.844 --> 00:43:32.083
and said,
00:43:32.103 --> 00:43:33.565
you're going to start a podcast and you're
00:43:33.585 --> 00:43:34.706
going to have a significant amount of your
00:43:34.746 --> 00:43:36.706
income be based on that, I'd go,
00:43:36.987 --> 00:43:37.648
you're insane.
00:43:37.827 --> 00:43:38.789
I did it because it was this new
00:43:38.809 --> 00:43:40.250
little toy and I liked it and I
00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:41.010
was curious.
00:43:41.590 --> 00:43:42.391
It paid in the end.
00:43:42.592 --> 00:43:43.773
But I get why people are like,
00:43:44.012 --> 00:43:44.552
I don't know.
00:43:44.672 --> 00:43:45.793
I can't be the Tony.
00:43:46.315 --> 00:43:47.635
I think sometimes the things that you
00:43:47.655 --> 00:43:48.376
share, Tony,
00:43:48.516 --> 00:43:50.717
actually scare people out of starting.
00:43:52.175 --> 00:43:52.996
Because they're like, yeah,
00:43:53.016 --> 00:43:54.737
he's so much further than me.
00:43:55.077 --> 00:43:57.617
Like he's look, look, look, he look,
00:43:57.637 --> 00:43:58.757
he just he said,
00:43:58.938 --> 00:44:00.579
I accidentally shared this video from
00:44:00.619 --> 00:44:02.360
three years that I shot three years ago
00:44:02.380 --> 00:44:03.300
and I forgot to share it.
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:04.119
It got a million views.
00:44:04.139 --> 00:44:05.581
Oh, my God.
00:44:05.621 --> 00:44:06.440
I look at that and I go,
00:44:07.481 --> 00:44:10.242
I just scripted ten things out and it
00:44:10.262 --> 00:44:13.804
got bupkis that that jacks with my
00:44:13.844 --> 00:44:14.423
confidence.
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:17.760
Will saying the breakfast club might be
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:19.081
the closest thing we've got to that hub.
00:44:19.382 --> 00:44:20.043
Maybe.
00:44:20.302 --> 00:44:21.164
But even look at this.
00:44:21.985 --> 00:44:23.407
This gets okay views.
00:44:23.686 --> 00:44:24.128
Okay.
00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:28.630
And we've been doing this for three years,
00:44:28.831 --> 00:44:29.431
two years.
00:44:29.612 --> 00:44:30.371
Here's the thing.
00:44:31.311 --> 00:44:32.432
I don't know if we want to say
00:44:32.452 --> 00:44:33.992
the name of the group,
00:44:35.333 --> 00:44:37.114
but there is an EMR that out there
00:44:37.753 --> 00:44:39.715
that is trying to do this,
00:44:39.775 --> 00:44:41.056
had tried to do this.
00:44:41.195 --> 00:44:42.715
I haven't been in touch with them for
00:44:42.755 --> 00:44:43.135
a while.
00:44:43.215 --> 00:44:44.757
I'm looking at the YouTube channel right
00:44:44.817 --> 00:44:45.016
now.
00:44:45.077 --> 00:44:46.978
Four hundred and forty eight subscribers
00:44:47.038 --> 00:44:47.518
went nowhere.
00:44:48.875 --> 00:44:49.795
they're, but I mean,
00:44:50.096 --> 00:44:51.317
they have the money behind them.
00:44:51.697 --> 00:44:53.440
They have high production value.
00:44:53.699 --> 00:44:54.860
They do an amazing job.
00:44:54.900 --> 00:44:55.983
They get a ton of guests.
00:44:56.003 --> 00:44:58.744
They've brought in, uh, you know,
00:44:58.766 --> 00:45:00.867
creators that people know and,
00:45:01.007 --> 00:45:04.130
and tried to build that sports, you know,
00:45:04.391 --> 00:45:06.153
can, can I show, can I share,
00:45:06.193 --> 00:45:07.074
we want to say the name,
00:45:07.375 --> 00:45:08.655
but this is an EMR company.
00:45:09.456 --> 00:45:11.157
That tried to do exactly what we just
00:45:11.177 --> 00:45:11.438
said.
00:45:11.637 --> 00:45:12.318
Tried to.
00:45:12.878 --> 00:45:14.719
Can I tell you why I think it
00:45:14.759 --> 00:45:15.338
didn't work?
00:45:15.858 --> 00:45:16.659
Please.
00:45:16.699 --> 00:45:18.601
They tried to sell way too early.
00:45:19.981 --> 00:45:21.081
You can smell it.
00:45:21.742 --> 00:45:21.942
Yeah.
00:45:22.001 --> 00:45:24.003
Everything drips with use us.
00:45:24.103 --> 00:45:25.422
Everything's an ad.
00:45:25.802 --> 00:45:28.704
Just look at the topics, right?
00:45:28.824 --> 00:45:30.005
Everything's a close.
00:45:30.204 --> 00:45:31.405
I've written about it on LinkedIn,
00:45:31.445 --> 00:45:32.606
about LinkedIn posts.
00:45:33.621 --> 00:45:35.782
If you start with this cool content that
00:45:35.802 --> 00:45:36.963
I'm looking at, I'm like, yeah,
00:45:36.983 --> 00:45:37.764
I'm nodding along.
00:45:38.164 --> 00:45:40.126
And then halfway through the little
00:45:40.166 --> 00:45:41.427
LinkedIn diatribe I'm on,
00:45:41.686 --> 00:45:43.969
and that's why we here at Callahan Auto
00:45:44.028 --> 00:45:46.291
Parts only use the finest auto parts.
00:45:46.731 --> 00:45:47.972
Oh, the whole thing's an ad.
00:45:48.172 --> 00:45:48.891
People reject it.
00:45:49.233 --> 00:45:51.655
It drips and smells of corporate.
00:45:52.094 --> 00:45:54.135
Look at the videos that Barstool creates.
00:45:54.657 --> 00:45:56.498
They're created on phones, dude.
00:45:56.518 --> 00:45:57.179
They're created...
00:45:58.210 --> 00:46:00.012
in the offices with a bunch of twenty
00:46:00.052 --> 00:46:02.556
thirty somethings goofing off watching
00:46:02.596 --> 00:46:05.438
sports that's why it's real that doesn't
00:46:05.458 --> 00:46:07.440
look real to me that drips of fake
00:46:08.351 --> 00:46:09.251
I'm going to disagree.
00:46:09.391 --> 00:46:11.134
I'm looking at it right now.
00:46:12.094 --> 00:46:13.516
I just think it was too small of
00:46:13.536 --> 00:46:14.217
an audience.
00:46:14.237 --> 00:46:17.039
And, you know, I've got that audience,
00:46:17.081 --> 00:46:18.782
like I've got my Learn Medicare billing
00:46:18.802 --> 00:46:19.143
channel.
00:46:19.182 --> 00:46:21.945
The audience is PT, OT, SLP.
00:46:23.047 --> 00:46:24.248
It's kind of business.
00:46:24.307 --> 00:46:25.909
This audience and you and I have had
00:46:25.929 --> 00:46:26.851
this conversation.
00:46:26.971 --> 00:46:29.373
This audience is too small of an audience
00:46:29.393 --> 00:46:29.994
to really.
00:46:30.614 --> 00:46:33.217
get out there and go viral i think
00:46:33.277 --> 00:46:35.418
if we look at some of the big
00:46:35.898 --> 00:46:39.260
um general physical therapy channels bob
00:46:39.300 --> 00:46:42.422
and brad ask dr joe i always forget
00:46:42.463 --> 00:46:44.563
his name athlean x the guy he's a
00:46:44.623 --> 00:46:47.186
physical therapist like these are in the
00:46:47.246 --> 00:46:49.887
tens of millions of of subscribers they
00:46:49.927 --> 00:46:52.250
have huge channels huge reach
00:46:53.302 --> 00:46:55.744
I think if we took the profession of
00:46:55.784 --> 00:46:59.068
physical therapy, created the silos,
00:46:59.507 --> 00:47:02.110
supported individual content creators on a
00:47:02.210 --> 00:47:03.431
central location,
00:47:04.132 --> 00:47:06.173
I think we can hit tens of millions
00:47:06.233 --> 00:47:06.954
of followers.
00:47:07.034 --> 00:47:08.356
I don't disagree.
00:47:08.376 --> 00:47:09.956
Yeah, hundreds of millions of views.
00:47:10.478 --> 00:47:12.599
And you said, who's going to fund it?
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.161
I don't really think it needs funding.
00:47:15.762 --> 00:47:16.742
That's the thing.
00:47:17.262 --> 00:47:20.666
I can start my YouTube membership for zero
00:47:20.686 --> 00:47:21.067
cost.
00:47:21.827 --> 00:47:24.208
If nobody signs, I don't lose any money.
00:47:24.809 --> 00:47:26.510
I'm spending the time anyway.
00:47:27.271 --> 00:47:29.313
I've always gone back to there are so
00:47:29.373 --> 00:47:32.036
many creators out there who are creating
00:47:32.715 --> 00:47:34.036
and nobody is watching.
00:47:35.157 --> 00:47:38.201
Let's bring them into this ecosystem with
00:47:38.221 --> 00:47:39.902
a little bit of education and say, hey,
00:47:40.202 --> 00:47:42.764
this is why nobody's watching your hook,
00:47:43.125 --> 00:47:44.025
your story.
00:47:44.365 --> 00:47:46.568
Like, let's clean those parts up.
00:47:46.648 --> 00:47:48.630
Let's clip all this stuff out that doesn't
00:47:48.650 --> 00:47:49.530
need to be in there.
00:47:50.518 --> 00:47:52.460
i do think it's still a big opportunity
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.744
for somebody who wanted to take it yeah
00:47:57.266 --> 00:47:59.047
i think if this were to ever go
00:47:59.088 --> 00:48:01.389
anywhere the answer would be like occam's
00:48:01.429 --> 00:48:04.653
razor it would be the simplest solution
00:48:04.873 --> 00:48:06.175
like whenever you're starting talking
00:48:06.215 --> 00:48:08.637
about anything that a seven-year-old
00:48:08.677 --> 00:48:10.500
couldn't understand that's when it would
00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:11.762
fail so
00:48:15.061 --> 00:48:16.882
The only thing is it's not zero dollars
00:48:16.902 --> 00:48:18.143
because it's people's time.
00:48:18.722 --> 00:48:21.403
And even more expensive, it's their ego.
00:48:21.704 --> 00:48:22.423
And I don't blame them.
00:48:22.443 --> 00:48:23.425
Do you know what I mean?
00:48:23.485 --> 00:48:23.925
I get it.
00:48:25.724 --> 00:48:27.085
I had a fifteen-year head start.
00:48:28.606 --> 00:48:29.706
I used to get commended.
00:48:29.947 --> 00:48:30.907
Oh, as a PT student,
00:48:30.927 --> 00:48:32.226
you stepped out of your comfort zone and
00:48:32.246 --> 00:48:33.688
started interviewing people as a student.
00:48:33.708 --> 00:48:34.887
I was like,
00:48:34.987 --> 00:48:36.568
I stepped into my comfort zone.
00:48:37.369 --> 00:48:39.309
I got to play stupid but sound smart
00:48:39.349 --> 00:48:40.630
because I asked it as a question in
00:48:40.650 --> 00:48:41.269
an interview.
00:48:42.485 --> 00:48:43.867
That was a life hack, right?
00:48:44.387 --> 00:48:45.949
So I do think it's,
00:48:47.172 --> 00:48:48.333
you have to get someone to say,
00:48:48.632 --> 00:48:51.036
I am the Parkinson's disease PT and I'm
00:48:51.056 --> 00:48:53.438
going to plant my flag and I'm smart
00:48:53.458 --> 00:48:53.719
enough.
00:48:53.898 --> 00:48:55.501
Because as soon as I say something and
00:48:55.601 --> 00:48:57.103
five colleagues come in the comment
00:48:57.123 --> 00:48:57.423
section,
00:48:58.496 --> 00:49:00.476
Your ego is shot, and I don't disagree.
00:49:01.577 --> 00:49:03.717
That is the dumbest part of human nature,
00:49:04.157 --> 00:49:05.677
but it is the biggest limiting factor.
00:49:05.918 --> 00:49:06.077
I mean,
00:49:06.438 --> 00:49:07.619
this is sort of the crux of how
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:08.719
I started the damn podcast.
00:49:08.759 --> 00:49:11.440
I was sitting in a presentation room with
00:49:11.460 --> 00:49:13.179
a thousand PTs at a state conference,
00:49:13.619 --> 00:49:15.420
and I was like, do you understand?
00:49:15.460 --> 00:49:17.101
This is ten, eleven years ago.
00:49:17.460 --> 00:49:18.282
I was like, wow,
00:49:18.661 --> 00:49:22.023
how much information is just stored in the
00:49:22.083 --> 00:49:24.483
brains of all these people sitting in this
00:49:24.523 --> 00:49:26.164
room, and it'll never leave.
00:49:26.864 --> 00:49:28.545
Even the presentation we were watching
00:49:28.824 --> 00:49:29.905
wasn't being recorded.
00:49:30.385 --> 00:49:31.045
I was like, wow,
00:49:31.264 --> 00:49:32.585
this thing's going to be said.
00:49:33.005 --> 00:49:33.865
It was prepared.
00:49:34.226 --> 00:49:35.206
Effort was done.
00:49:35.547 --> 00:49:36.427
It was prepared.
00:49:36.686 --> 00:49:37.626
It was executed.
00:49:38.146 --> 00:49:39.688
Most people will nod and forget.
00:49:39.827 --> 00:49:41.248
Eighty six percent of it before they leave
00:49:41.268 --> 00:49:41.588
the room.
00:49:41.867 --> 00:49:42.268
And I was like,
00:49:42.548 --> 00:49:43.608
that is a crying shame.
00:49:44.028 --> 00:49:46.289
And now we're twenty light years past that
00:49:46.309 --> 00:49:49.251
where we record and share like crazy.
00:49:49.911 --> 00:49:52.010
And the good stuff I still think is
00:49:52.452 --> 00:49:53.532
the good stuff is still out there.
00:49:55.188 --> 00:49:57.250
I'm going to grab a screenshot and I'll
00:49:57.349 --> 00:49:59.550
share it of the last three hundred and
00:49:59.590 --> 00:50:03.873
sixty five days revenue from individual
00:50:03.914 --> 00:50:06.597
videos, because now, you know,
00:50:07.137 --> 00:50:08.777
I've noticed this trend in my life.
00:50:08.797 --> 00:50:10.139
I'm fifty one years old now.
00:50:10.179 --> 00:50:12.940
There's been a thirty year analysis,
00:50:12.981 --> 00:50:14.322
but something that I've seen,
00:50:15.262 --> 00:50:16.063
I get an idea.
00:50:17.532 --> 00:50:19.233
I get excited, I get pumped up,
00:50:19.293 --> 00:50:21.094
I put a bunch of resources behind it
00:50:21.614 --> 00:50:23.096
and then I burn out and it dies
00:50:23.315 --> 00:50:24.777
and it just sits there and it doesn't
00:50:24.817 --> 00:50:25.516
do anything.
00:50:25.536 --> 00:50:28.659
And then I start to get excited about
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.239
it again and I start to rethink it
00:50:30.298 --> 00:50:32.661
again and technology has changed,
00:50:33.740 --> 00:50:35.121
culture has changed,
00:50:35.282 --> 00:50:36.422
other things have changed.
00:50:36.902 --> 00:50:38.222
And a lot of these ideas,
00:50:38.402 --> 00:50:39.943
the first time I throw them out,
00:50:40.043 --> 00:50:41.724
they don't go anywhere and then the second
00:50:41.764 --> 00:50:43.326
time they get a little bit of traction
00:50:43.365 --> 00:50:45.047
and sometimes it takes three or four
00:50:45.206 --> 00:50:45.686
efforts
00:50:46.737 --> 00:50:48.260
But usually, you know,
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:51.708
at some point something clicks and it
00:50:51.768 --> 00:50:52.389
takes root.
00:50:52.409 --> 00:50:53.532
Yeah.
00:50:53.592 --> 00:50:54.474
It's more me than we.
00:50:55.289 --> 00:50:56.771
Yeah.
00:50:56.791 --> 00:50:58.391
So if you can grab that screenshot,
00:50:59.032 --> 00:50:59.974
this takes me back.
00:51:00.014 --> 00:51:01.614
So people want to get monetized.
00:51:01.655 --> 00:51:03.715
They want their YouTube channel monetized.
00:51:03.755 --> 00:51:04.836
You know, even a dollar,
00:51:04.876 --> 00:51:06.679
you and I have said this multiple times,
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:10.240
a dollar puts fuel in the tank of
00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:11.181
our motivation.
00:51:11.242 --> 00:51:13.043
It's validation.
00:51:13.324 --> 00:51:13.623
Yeah.
00:51:13.724 --> 00:51:15.485
Proof of concept, market fit.
00:51:16.965 --> 00:51:20.208
So going back to this global idea,
00:51:22.168 --> 00:51:23.730
There are, you know,
00:51:23.789 --> 00:51:25.291
on my YouTube channel,
00:51:25.331 --> 00:51:26.590
there are individual videos.
00:51:26.630 --> 00:51:28.052
YouTube gives us revenue.
00:51:28.911 --> 00:51:30.512
I know one video,
00:51:30.913 --> 00:51:31.753
if you can share it,
00:51:31.853 --> 00:51:33.554
generated four hundred and sixty six
00:51:33.594 --> 00:51:35.054
dollars over the last three hundred and
00:51:35.094 --> 00:51:35.914
sixty five days.
00:51:36.815 --> 00:51:38.217
I just took this screenshot.
00:51:38.257 --> 00:51:39.496
So this is the most up to date
00:51:39.536 --> 00:51:39.777
ever.
00:51:40.617 --> 00:51:42.438
Another video still struggling after your
00:51:42.458 --> 00:51:43.099
knee replacement,
00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:44.278
three hundred and eighty dollars.
00:51:44.940 --> 00:51:47.320
So even something like that to say,
00:51:48.498 --> 00:51:51.722
rebuild the channel i've got the choose pt
00:51:51.742 --> 00:51:53.985
first youtube channel i could change the
00:51:54.025 --> 00:51:56.527
name i could rebrand it it's already got
00:51:56.547 --> 00:51:58.590
i don't know twelve hundred or something
00:51:58.670 --> 00:52:02.152
subscribers i've done this before and you
00:52:02.193 --> 00:52:06.637
make it a profession you know specific
00:52:06.677 --> 00:52:07.057
channel
00:52:08.114 --> 00:52:09.295
geared to the consumer.
00:52:10.536 --> 00:52:14.119
We looked at the APTA's YouTube channel,
00:52:14.179 --> 00:52:15.380
Facing the Consumer.
00:52:16.260 --> 00:52:18.063
They haven't published in three years and
00:52:18.083 --> 00:52:19.384
it was one video and then it was
00:52:19.423 --> 00:52:20.184
five years ago.
00:52:21.224 --> 00:52:22.266
We do that.
00:52:22.686 --> 00:52:25.608
We invite small creators who don't have an
00:52:25.708 --> 00:52:26.248
audience
00:52:26.929 --> 00:52:30.050
we get the channel monetized more quickly
00:52:30.070 --> 00:52:31.652
than they could get their individual
00:52:31.672 --> 00:52:32.592
channel monetized.
00:52:33.014 --> 00:52:34.795
And we could even do a revenue share
00:52:35.195 --> 00:52:37.056
because these are objective numbers.
00:52:37.117 --> 00:52:37.376
You know,
00:52:37.637 --> 00:52:39.759
if they have a video that goes viral
00:52:39.838 --> 00:52:41.039
on our platform,
00:52:41.780 --> 00:52:44.021
we could do a revenue share based on
00:52:44.181 --> 00:52:45.922
the actual analytics.
00:52:46.503 --> 00:52:47.463
And then when they get their own
00:52:47.503 --> 00:52:49.005
individual channel monetized,
00:52:49.045 --> 00:52:52.128
they get all that additional revenue.
00:52:52.188 --> 00:52:53.248
It's like an incubator.
00:52:54.894 --> 00:52:58.280
where we're investing time and effort and
00:52:58.360 --> 00:52:59.121
so are they,
00:52:59.262 --> 00:53:01.184
but they're at least saying someone's been
00:53:01.204 --> 00:53:01.987
there and done that.
00:53:02.407 --> 00:53:03.489
So at least it's safer.
00:53:03.909 --> 00:53:05.773
But they own the IP when they're done,
00:53:05.833 --> 00:53:06.032
right?
00:53:06.092 --> 00:53:06.554
I don't want it.
00:53:06.594 --> 00:53:07.615
I don't want their videos, right?
00:53:08.780 --> 00:53:10.802
I would call it a launchpad more than
00:53:10.842 --> 00:53:12.543
an incubator, same concept.
00:53:14.003 --> 00:53:16.806
Our return on the investment is we get
00:53:16.847 --> 00:53:19.429
to leverage hundreds of creators to
00:53:19.509 --> 00:53:22.751
accelerate the growth of one channel that
00:53:22.771 --> 00:53:25.132
will then potentially distribute and
00:53:25.172 --> 00:53:27.815
promote individual channels from there.
00:53:28.856 --> 00:53:30.557
That channel is obviously going to have
00:53:30.617 --> 00:53:34.061
value, generate monetary income.
00:53:36.342 --> 00:53:37.182
And, yeah,
00:53:37.543 --> 00:53:41.485
we would be essentially the people funding
00:53:41.525 --> 00:53:44.548
the project with our time, our knowledge,
00:53:45.088 --> 00:53:48.211
our history of thousands of failures
00:53:48.271 --> 00:53:51.313
before we built anything that generated
00:53:51.373 --> 00:53:53.416
traffic and revenue.
00:53:53.536 --> 00:53:55.637
Yeah.
00:53:55.677 --> 00:53:56.797
Got to get people to commit to do
00:53:56.838 --> 00:53:57.778
this.
00:53:59.179 --> 00:54:00.061
That goes back to this.
00:54:01.251 --> 00:54:02.233
I need you to invest.
00:54:02.353 --> 00:54:03.393
I need you to step out there.
00:54:03.494 --> 00:54:04.695
I need you to trust in yourself.
00:54:04.715 --> 00:54:05.795
I need to believe in the idea.
00:54:07.757 --> 00:54:08.097
I don't know.
00:54:08.177 --> 00:54:09.298
I've always been the person who's like,
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:10.260
I'll just try it.
00:54:10.300 --> 00:54:11.161
What's the downside?
00:54:12.121 --> 00:54:13.282
I remember my professor asked me,
00:54:13.623 --> 00:54:14.264
if you start a...
00:54:14.324 --> 00:54:15.164
What's this thing called again?
00:54:15.184 --> 00:54:15.846
A podcast?
00:54:16.326 --> 00:54:17.206
If you start this podcast,
00:54:17.387 --> 00:54:18.907
what do you lose if it goes nowhere?
00:54:18.927 --> 00:54:20.409
And I was like, well, the microphone's,
00:54:20.630 --> 00:54:24.554
you know, and hosting is, you know,
00:54:24.594 --> 00:54:25.014
and she's like,
00:54:27.744 --> 00:54:28.704
Feels like a low barrier.
00:54:28.744 --> 00:54:32.608
Now, it was also my time,
00:54:32.708 --> 00:54:34.411
but I was also curious about that stuff
00:54:34.510 --> 00:54:35.952
anyway, where I was like, I don't know,
00:54:36.032 --> 00:54:37.052
I kind of want to know this stuff.
00:54:37.094 --> 00:54:39.635
So even if I got zero listens,
00:54:39.956 --> 00:54:40.936
I learned stuff.
00:54:41.237 --> 00:54:42.858
So cheat code wise,
00:54:42.878 --> 00:54:44.601
it was still worth it for me.
00:54:46.635 --> 00:54:48.376
See, I get all pumped up.
00:54:48.396 --> 00:54:50.398
I know.
00:54:50.518 --> 00:54:51.818
I'm already thinking like,
00:54:51.998 --> 00:54:53.039
what do we name it?
00:54:53.179 --> 00:54:55.780
I wouldn't make it PT specific because I
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.143
would want to be able to include OT
00:54:58.163 --> 00:54:58.742
and speech.
00:55:00.284 --> 00:55:01.543
I would want to look at what else
00:55:01.583 --> 00:55:03.626
is already out there, you know,
00:55:03.666 --> 00:55:03.766
and
00:55:04.766 --> 00:55:06.608
already thinking about like what are the
00:55:06.668 --> 00:55:09.349
legal agreements look like so that if a
00:55:09.389 --> 00:55:13.293
video does go viral I mean can does
00:55:13.333 --> 00:55:14.673
the creator have the right to take the
00:55:14.713 --> 00:55:16.954
video down or once it's up there is
00:55:17.074 --> 00:55:19.717
it kind of locked in if I create
00:55:19.757 --> 00:55:22.259
a course on a platform that course is
00:55:22.358 --> 00:55:25.601
locked in I can stop selling it to
00:55:25.722 --> 00:55:28.643
new people but most of the platforms won't
00:55:28.684 --> 00:55:30.465
let you take it down because other people
00:55:30.505 --> 00:55:31.706
have already bought that course
00:55:32.813 --> 00:55:34.335
So it's all of this stuff.
00:55:35.335 --> 00:55:36.577
That's the exciting stuff.
00:55:36.938 --> 00:55:41.445
This is the dopamine rush that comes in
00:55:42.005 --> 00:55:44.688
and like takes you away from the
00:55:44.728 --> 00:55:46.811
commitments you already made to other
00:55:46.871 --> 00:55:47.632
projects
00:55:48.547 --> 00:55:50.708
This is probably why I don't end up
00:55:51.228 --> 00:55:53.568
really taking anything to, you know,
00:55:53.668 --> 00:55:56.210
tens of millions of dollars because I,
00:55:56.371 --> 00:55:58.092
soon as I get a little success,
00:55:58.612 --> 00:55:59.992
the dopamine declines.
00:56:00.373 --> 00:56:01.612
And then I started looking at the next
00:56:01.652 --> 00:56:02.914
thing, you know,
00:56:02.954 --> 00:56:04.655
I've got a little success already.
00:56:04.735 --> 00:56:06.315
I've got things that are working.
00:56:06.456 --> 00:56:09.516
Why would I even consider moving into
00:56:09.577 --> 00:56:10.637
something new?
00:56:11.338 --> 00:56:13.199
Because I'm addicted to the dopamine and
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.380
the excitement more than I'm addicted to
00:56:15.420 --> 00:56:17.820
the revenue and the actual business.
00:56:18.041 --> 00:56:18.181
Yeah,
00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:19.961
you and I are probably similar in that
00:56:20.422 --> 00:56:22.643
there's this the six types of working
00:56:22.702 --> 00:56:23.123
genius.
00:56:23.182 --> 00:56:24.764
It's like one of those like personality
00:56:24.804 --> 00:56:25.664
slash work tests.
00:56:25.724 --> 00:56:27.045
And one of them is the is the
00:56:27.085 --> 00:56:28.244
genius of tenacity,
00:56:28.626 --> 00:56:29.806
which is like the finisher.
00:56:30.445 --> 00:56:31.746
And I get yelled at all the time
00:56:31.766 --> 00:56:33.487
because I start fifteen projects,
00:56:34.387 --> 00:56:37.289
get nine of them to the halfway mark,
00:56:37.708 --> 00:56:39.230
get three of them to the three quarter
00:56:39.250 --> 00:56:41.351
mark, and then I'm starting six more.
00:56:42.791 --> 00:56:43.452
That's the idea.
00:56:44.304 --> 00:56:46.344
Yeah.
00:56:46.425 --> 00:56:46.525
Yeah.
00:56:46.545 --> 00:56:46.724
All right.
00:56:46.764 --> 00:56:48.106
We're, we're at the top of the show.
00:56:48.846 --> 00:56:50.867
What are you thinking for parting shot?
00:56:51.847 --> 00:56:53.528
Parting shots is we flirted with ideas
00:56:53.568 --> 00:56:53.929
like this.
00:56:54.088 --> 00:56:54.748
I would love to try,
00:56:54.768 --> 00:56:55.929
like it's almost summer.
00:56:56.349 --> 00:56:57.791
Is that a slower time at the clinic
00:56:57.811 --> 00:57:00.271
for you or busier?
00:57:00.572 --> 00:57:00.731
Uh,
00:57:00.751 --> 00:57:02.753
inconsequential busy from a family
00:57:02.793 --> 00:57:03.753
perspective, you know,
00:57:03.793 --> 00:57:06.916
family vacations and kids are available.
00:57:07.295 --> 00:57:08.315
And I would say we play with the
00:57:08.376 --> 00:57:09.936
ideas we've talked about and launch them
00:57:09.956 --> 00:57:10.476
in the fall.
00:57:10.556 --> 00:57:11.577
That gives us some runway.
00:57:12.940 --> 00:57:13.121
Yeah.
00:57:13.661 --> 00:57:14.222
Yeah.
00:57:14.362 --> 00:57:14.742
And then, and then,
00:57:14.802 --> 00:57:15.943
and then publish the results.
00:57:16.463 --> 00:57:18.385
Would you be against if we could get
00:57:19.827 --> 00:57:22.469
a large organization who saw this or heard
00:57:22.509 --> 00:57:24.429
this or got pinged from enough people that
00:57:24.469 --> 00:57:25.690
go, we want to buy in,
00:57:25.710 --> 00:57:26.552
we want to invest.
00:57:26.711 --> 00:57:27.873
I feel like that would add fuel to
00:57:27.893 --> 00:57:28.333
the fire.
00:57:29.574 --> 00:57:31.356
It would, it would account.
00:57:31.476 --> 00:57:32.956
It would add accountability.
00:57:34.184 --> 00:57:34.583
You know,
00:57:35.985 --> 00:57:39.047
understanding where or what would happen
00:57:39.106 --> 00:57:42.628
with that investment would be important.
00:57:43.268 --> 00:57:44.309
Yeah.
00:57:44.510 --> 00:57:45.931
All right.
00:57:45.971 --> 00:57:46.710
My parting shot.
00:57:46.771 --> 00:57:47.391
I'll go first.
00:57:47.791 --> 00:57:48.251
My parting shot.
00:57:48.371 --> 00:57:50.112
You are the biggest limiting factor to
00:57:50.132 --> 00:57:50.954
your own success.
00:57:52.474 --> 00:57:53.135
I say this from...
00:57:54.536 --> 00:57:56.978
beyond more enough personal experience,
00:57:57.458 --> 00:57:59.239
you are the biggest limiting factor to
00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:00.019
your own success.
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:01.141
If you can get past that,
00:58:01.481 --> 00:58:03.161
if you try to fail and succeed,
00:58:03.202 --> 00:58:03.822
which have you done?
00:58:04.143 --> 00:58:04.623
Like if you were like,
00:58:04.663 --> 00:58:05.344
I'm just going to do this,
00:58:05.664 --> 00:58:06.123
I'm going to do it.
00:58:06.143 --> 00:58:07.525
It's not going to work, but on purpose,
00:58:07.565 --> 00:58:08.626
I'm going to try to make it blow
00:58:08.666 --> 00:58:09.606
up as big as I can.
00:58:09.865 --> 00:58:12.208
And then what if it doesn't?
00:58:12.248 --> 00:58:13.849
So that's my parting shot.
00:58:14.664 --> 00:58:15.625
All right, my parting shot.
00:58:15.704 --> 00:58:17.405
One of the things I wanted to talk
00:58:17.425 --> 00:58:18.766
to, we didn't talk about,
00:58:19.746 --> 00:58:21.148
Amazon Prime Day,
00:58:21.188 --> 00:58:23.469
which is actually Amazon Prime multiple
00:58:23.509 --> 00:58:25.989
days is coming up, about two weeks away.
00:58:26.869 --> 00:58:30.070
Product companies are desperate for video
00:58:30.231 --> 00:58:33.072
and content and anybody who's willing to
00:58:33.132 --> 00:58:33.532
do it.
00:58:34.213 --> 00:58:36.673
I've got my scripts in Gemini.
00:58:36.733 --> 00:58:38.675
So as the emails come to me,
00:58:39.155 --> 00:58:40.514
I'm like, yeah, no problem.
00:58:40.534 --> 00:58:41.956
Three hundred and fifty five hundred
00:58:41.976 --> 00:58:43.356
dollars finished video.
00:58:43.436 --> 00:58:45.137
Sixty seconds is what I offer.
00:58:45.197 --> 00:58:46.237
This is the deliverable.
00:58:46.376 --> 00:58:47.538
If you want it, I'll do it.
00:58:48.737 --> 00:58:49.798
I say no to a lot of these
00:58:49.838 --> 00:58:51.818
companies like there's power wheelchairs
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:53.619
and stuff that I'm not going to say
00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:54.300
yes to.
00:58:55.021 --> 00:58:55.320
But.
00:58:56.237 --> 00:58:57.918
If you're in that world at all,
00:58:58.179 --> 00:59:00.920
understand that this is a big push for
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:02.880
these product companies and they're more
00:59:02.900 --> 00:59:05.201
than happy to pay a couple hundred dollars
00:59:05.240 --> 00:59:07.621
for sixty seconds of your finished time.
00:59:08.202 --> 00:59:11.003
Because what they really need is authority
00:59:11.224 --> 00:59:12.043
and access.
00:59:12.204 --> 00:59:14.184
They understand they're at the one yard
00:59:14.204 --> 00:59:15.065
line of making money.
00:59:15.936 --> 00:59:17.597
But that golden mile,
00:59:17.637 --> 00:59:19.278
as they used to call it in delivery,
00:59:19.438 --> 00:59:20.739
that last step,
00:59:22.061 --> 00:59:23.663
you can't buy or fake that.
00:59:23.702 --> 00:59:24.344
You can try.
00:59:24.603 --> 00:59:25.184
You can try.
00:59:25.264 --> 00:59:26.826
We just talked about a company that tried
00:59:26.865 --> 00:59:27.306
to do it,
00:59:27.365 --> 00:59:28.786
and there's something wrong with that.
00:59:29.487 --> 00:59:30.128
All right.
00:59:30.148 --> 00:59:31.090
We'll talk about this some more.
00:59:31.110 --> 00:59:32.090
It needs a cool name, though.
00:59:33.612 --> 00:59:34.552
I do like Launchpad.
00:59:34.572 --> 00:59:36.393
That feels like there's some height to it.
00:59:36.414 --> 00:59:37.114
All right.
00:59:37.135 --> 00:59:38.715
We'll be back on Thursday.
00:59:38.735 --> 00:59:39.317
We'll see you guys soon.
00:59:41.688 --> 00:59:41.909
That's it.
00:59:41.929 --> 00:59:42.148
We're out.
00:59:42.168 --> 00:59:43.650
