The Apple Pie Lesson for PT Clinics
Is physical therapy school still worth it?
In this episode of PT Breakfast Club, Jimmy McKay joins from the APTA Connecticut golf fundraiser at Lyman Orchards, where every round comes with a free apple pie. That becomes the first business lesson of the morning: people remember what is worth remarking on.
Tony Maritato, Dave Kittle, and Jimmy use that idea to talk about what makes a clinic memorable, why healthcare defaults to being bland, and how practices can show their value instead of just saying they are different.
Then the crew tackles the bigger question: is becoming a physical therapist still worth it?
Jimmy says it depends. Dave says yes, if you choose the right school, manage debt, and understand the opportunities available. Tony says the degree is an asset, but only if you use it in today’s world instead of trying to practice like it is 2002.
The conversation also covers Dave’s new video strategy in New York City, recording patient care with consent, using anonymized patient stories, AI in PT education, and how future DPT students should be using AI as a study partner.
Then Dave shares a $652 refrigerator repair story that turns into a surprisingly useful PT business lesson about urgency, diagnostic fees, same-day service, customer education, and selling access to expertise.
The takeaway: physical therapy is still worth it, but the old story is dead. The opportunity is still there for people willing to be modern, visible, creative, and clear about the value they provide.

broadcasting way too early from three
00:00:05.751 --> 00:00:08.353
separate wi-fi connections it's pt
00:00:08.374 --> 00:00:11.555
breakfast club with tony maritato dave
00:00:11.596 --> 00:00:20.400
kittle and jimmy mckay all right we are
00:00:20.501 --> 00:00:24.224
live and jimmy is on location so jimmy
00:00:24.263 --> 00:00:25.605
tell us where you are and what you
00:00:25.644 --> 00:00:26.184
were doing
00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:27.742
I'm, you know,
00:00:27.801 --> 00:00:28.922
we're playing some golf today.
00:00:28.943 --> 00:00:30.803
It's what you do in the Northeast in
00:00:30.844 --> 00:00:31.243
the summer.
00:00:31.864 --> 00:00:34.026
We got a small window of good weather.
00:00:34.106 --> 00:00:35.267
So APTA,
00:00:35.286 --> 00:00:36.468
a lot of these state chapters do it.
00:00:36.508 --> 00:00:39.450
APTA Connecticut is having a tournament,
00:00:39.469 --> 00:00:41.252
a little fundraiser for their legislative
00:00:41.311 --> 00:00:41.652
efforts.
00:00:42.594 --> 00:00:46.557
And they inflated me out to gently heckle
00:00:46.978 --> 00:00:47.819
is what I'm going to do.
00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:49.939
I'm not playing today.
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.942
I'm just going to roam the course and
00:00:51.981 --> 00:00:55.304
sort of gently heckle the seventy five or
00:00:55.344 --> 00:00:58.026
so golfers they got out here on the
00:00:58.045 --> 00:00:58.585
course today.
00:00:59.106 --> 00:01:00.728
The course is called Lyman Orchard.
00:01:01.628 --> 00:01:04.409
And you're going to love the marketing
00:01:04.450 --> 00:01:04.771
gimmick.
00:01:05.350 --> 00:01:05.570
Yeah.
00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:07.793
So it's built for the same family.
00:01:07.832 --> 00:01:09.274
I don't know the backstory, but.
00:01:09.951 --> 00:01:12.593
It's built next to an apple orchard.
00:01:12.834 --> 00:01:15.236
So if you play a round of golf,
00:01:15.275 --> 00:01:17.777
you walk out with a free apple pie.
00:01:17.796 --> 00:01:19.658
Oh, very nice.
00:01:19.677 --> 00:01:21.739
If that just it doesn't make any sense.
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:22.760
There's no connection,
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.542
but there is a connection with the course.
00:01:25.061 --> 00:01:26.563
So now there's a story.
00:01:26.962 --> 00:01:28.403
And who doesn't want a free apple pie?
00:01:28.463 --> 00:01:30.125
It's a tiny little single serving apple
00:01:30.144 --> 00:01:30.486
pies.
00:01:31.585 --> 00:01:33.006
I found out about it when I was
00:01:33.046 --> 00:01:33.867
coming to the course,
00:01:33.906 --> 00:01:34.906
when I was coming to the tournament.
00:01:34.966 --> 00:01:36.846
I mentioned it to a buddy who does
00:01:36.906 --> 00:01:38.246
not live in the state of Connecticut.
00:01:38.686 --> 00:01:38.987
And I said,
00:01:39.007 --> 00:01:40.367
I'm going to this tournament and they
00:01:40.427 --> 00:01:40.987
serve apples.
00:01:41.007 --> 00:01:42.168
He goes, lime and orchards?
00:01:42.347 --> 00:01:43.587
Those pies are fantastic.
00:01:43.727 --> 00:01:45.028
So there's the thing.
00:01:45.188 --> 00:01:47.429
This is a buddy who's played hundreds of
00:01:47.468 --> 00:01:48.209
golf courses.
00:01:48.509 --> 00:01:49.030
So I don't know.
00:01:49.090 --> 00:01:50.329
Maybe if you come in and you get
00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:50.769
treatment,
00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:52.010
you walk out with an apple pie from
00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:52.769
your PT clinic.
00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:54.471
I'm not saying that's the connection,
00:01:54.551 --> 00:01:56.090
but I'm saying there needs to be something
00:01:56.131 --> 00:01:56.290
there.
00:01:56.974 --> 00:01:57.573
I love it.
00:01:57.614 --> 00:01:58.274
That's awesome.
00:01:58.293 --> 00:01:59.153
I thought you were going to say you
00:01:59.194 --> 00:02:01.155
get like a free bushel of apples,
00:02:01.215 --> 00:02:03.355
but apple pie is a thousand times better.
00:02:03.415 --> 00:02:04.176
Hey, listen,
00:02:04.215 --> 00:02:06.195
if you come out on the driving range
00:02:06.236 --> 00:02:07.555
and you get a bucket of balls,
00:02:07.596 --> 00:02:08.937
you buy five buckets of balls,
00:02:08.977 --> 00:02:10.276
you get a bucket of apples on the
00:02:10.296 --> 00:02:10.657
way out.
00:02:10.676 --> 00:02:11.296
That's how it works.
00:02:12.157 --> 00:02:13.417
Now, I know you've asked me,
00:02:13.477 --> 00:02:14.098
but I forget.
00:02:14.198 --> 00:02:15.038
Are you a golfer?
00:02:15.078 --> 00:02:15.717
Can you play?
00:02:16.418 --> 00:02:17.038
I can play.
00:02:19.299 --> 00:02:20.239
I'm not bad.
00:02:22.092 --> 00:02:23.274
I don't play often and it shows.
00:02:23.313 --> 00:02:24.034
Let's put it that way.
00:02:24.055 --> 00:02:27.197
You know my brain and my attention span.
00:02:27.397 --> 00:02:29.239
If golf were like eleven and a half
00:02:29.299 --> 00:02:31.741
holes, I'd play more often.
00:02:32.181 --> 00:02:33.802
Every single person says that.
00:02:34.084 --> 00:02:36.885
Nobody's ever built an eleven or twelve
00:02:36.906 --> 00:02:37.847
hole golf course.
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.241
As soon as we hit the turn,
00:02:40.341 --> 00:02:41.662
I'm so excited because I'm like,
00:02:41.701 --> 00:02:43.483
grab a hot dog, get a beer,
00:02:43.543 --> 00:02:46.063
grab a water at the nine hole turn.
00:02:46.084 --> 00:02:46.844
I'm like, this is great.
00:02:47.185 --> 00:02:47.925
And then I turn, I'm like,
00:02:48.325 --> 00:02:49.626
we got to do the same number of
00:02:49.706 --> 00:02:50.627
holes again.
00:02:51.026 --> 00:02:52.627
But you got some people like my buddy
00:02:52.647 --> 00:02:55.030
who'll play thirty six holes and never
00:02:55.069 --> 00:02:55.550
think twice.
00:02:55.669 --> 00:02:56.270
I can't do it.
00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:57.531
But I play twelve holes.
00:02:58.668 --> 00:03:01.968
before i get dave here um so yes
00:03:02.149 --> 00:03:05.210
yes no sunday this sunday this sunday
00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:09.151
marks like the family palooza every summer
00:03:09.872 --> 00:03:13.092
so the first event in this family palooza
00:03:13.652 --> 00:03:15.353
and for the record people who don't know
00:03:15.432 --> 00:03:17.334
my wife comes from a huge family she's
00:03:17.433 --> 00:03:20.014
one of fourteen siblings i'm an only child
00:03:20.074 --> 00:03:22.635
on my side so every july
00:03:23.752 --> 00:03:25.272
A bunch of out of towners come in.
00:03:25.992 --> 00:03:27.174
And basically,
00:03:27.294 --> 00:03:29.655
every family sponsors an event.
00:03:29.955 --> 00:03:33.276
So Sunday was a big family golf scramble.
00:03:33.356 --> 00:03:35.078
We had twenty five, thirty people.
00:03:35.518 --> 00:03:37.118
We broke up into teams of four.
00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:40.341
I, you know,
00:03:40.820 --> 00:03:42.901
I'm the lowest on my foursome,
00:03:43.383 --> 00:03:44.783
but they divide up all the teams.
00:03:44.824 --> 00:03:47.125
This is like a highly organized,
00:03:47.164 --> 00:03:48.786
sophisticated operation.
00:03:49.265 --> 00:03:50.887
So you get an A player, B player,
00:03:50.907 --> 00:03:51.888
C player, D player.
00:03:51.927 --> 00:03:52.687
I'm the D player.
00:03:53.508 --> 00:03:54.729
But we had an amazing time.
00:03:54.789 --> 00:03:56.009
It was so much fun.
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:57.450
But every single person was like,
00:03:57.491 --> 00:03:59.513
twelve holes is the perfect amount.
00:04:00.032 --> 00:04:01.133
Leave them wanting more.
00:04:01.593 --> 00:04:03.594
Today, they're canoeing and kayaking.
00:04:04.155 --> 00:04:06.437
Yesterday was a huge pickleball day.
00:04:07.056 --> 00:04:09.959
all day event at the Pickleball Courts in
00:04:09.998 --> 00:04:10.520
Middletown.
00:04:11.681 --> 00:04:13.361
I think tomorrow is Kings Island,
00:04:13.382 --> 00:04:15.103
which is like a huge amusement park.
00:04:16.665 --> 00:04:18.745
We've got the fishing tournament on
00:04:18.826 --> 00:04:19.487
Friday.
00:04:20.007 --> 00:04:22.209
We've got the Fourth of July at one
00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:24.350
of the brother in law's houses.
00:04:25.151 --> 00:04:28.072
Every single day is organized on a rainy
00:04:28.093 --> 00:04:28.434
day.
00:04:28.613 --> 00:04:29.875
We throw in bowling.
00:04:30.475 --> 00:04:33.937
It is the most incredible family like week
00:04:33.958 --> 00:04:34.858
and a half ever.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.180
My kids have been doing it their whole
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:37.500
life.
00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:40.281
So Dave, jump into the conversation.
00:04:40.341 --> 00:04:42.440
Jimmy is on the golf course in Connecticut
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.781
with APTA right now.
00:04:45.141 --> 00:04:45.262
Yeah,
00:04:45.281 --> 00:04:47.002
I know you mentioned the big Meritato
00:04:47.023 --> 00:04:47.682
extravaganza.
00:04:47.702 --> 00:04:49.223
This is the one where there's like a
00:04:49.483 --> 00:04:50.843
family race, right?
00:04:50.903 --> 00:04:52.884
And you got family members running.
00:04:52.903 --> 00:04:53.064
Yeah.
00:04:55.369 --> 00:04:58.091
We'll do the five K on fourth of
00:04:58.132 --> 00:04:58.971
July morning.
00:05:00.574 --> 00:05:04.377
Most of the adults are running like five
00:05:04.437 --> 00:05:06.639
and a half to seven minute miles.
00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:09.261
Not me, but I will be out there.
00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:10.242
I'll be supporting.
00:05:10.262 --> 00:05:10.302
So.
00:05:10.601 --> 00:05:12.524
And now this,
00:05:12.543 --> 00:05:14.925
this is family only or married in family,
00:05:14.966 --> 00:05:16.646
but this, this is, there's no friends.
00:05:16.747 --> 00:05:17.327
It's just family.
00:05:17.507 --> 00:05:19.588
No friends, no girlfriends, family,
00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:21.151
like in-laws and outlaws.
00:05:22.281 --> 00:05:23.281
All right, because I was going to ask,
00:05:23.302 --> 00:05:23.442
like,
00:05:23.482 --> 00:05:24.562
how many years do we need to do
00:05:24.583 --> 00:05:26.004
this show until Jimmy and I get an
00:05:26.084 --> 00:05:26.485
invite?
00:05:26.524 --> 00:05:28.826
But it sounds like we're not married.
00:05:28.846 --> 00:05:30.148
We have to marry a customer.
00:05:30.168 --> 00:05:30.728
That's right.
00:05:30.848 --> 00:05:32.470
You have not made the list.
00:05:32.850 --> 00:05:33.891
Got to marry in, man.
00:05:33.951 --> 00:05:34.732
Gee, it's the only way.
00:05:35.591 --> 00:05:37.514
Every event's like forty, fifty people.
00:05:37.574 --> 00:05:38.675
There's just not room.
00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:40.495
I understand.
00:05:40.516 --> 00:05:42.278
All good.
00:05:43.564 --> 00:05:44.244
All right, so Jimmy,
00:05:44.324 --> 00:05:48.185
since you are APTA sponsored this morning,
00:05:49.466 --> 00:05:51.425
what are some of the big topics?
00:05:51.547 --> 00:05:53.846
And I want to talk about a couple
00:05:53.887 --> 00:05:56.927
because I've been seeing on social media,
00:05:58.028 --> 00:05:59.228
before we started the show,
00:05:59.269 --> 00:06:01.209
we were talking about loans.
00:06:01.610 --> 00:06:05.050
APTA is trying to get physical therapists
00:06:05.190 --> 00:06:08.232
added as a profession to increase loan
00:06:08.252 --> 00:06:08.672
limits.
00:06:09.386 --> 00:06:10.507
Not a huge increase.
00:06:11.588 --> 00:06:13.428
I've been seeing all over TikTok
00:06:13.949 --> 00:06:14.470
therapists,
00:06:14.490 --> 00:06:16.151
and I want you guys to answer this
00:06:16.190 --> 00:06:16.591
question.
00:06:17.891 --> 00:06:20.713
Is becoming a physical therapist worth it?
00:06:21.115 --> 00:06:22.656
Separate from the loan issue,
00:06:22.716 --> 00:06:25.077
whether APTA gets physical therapy added
00:06:25.117 --> 00:06:27.779
to the professional status and increase
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.161
the limit on federal loan,
00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:31.923
which I'm not a proponent of.
00:06:33.177 --> 00:06:35.403
The question is, Jimmy, first,
00:06:36.064 --> 00:06:38.670
is it worth becoming a physical therapist,
00:06:38.971 --> 00:06:40.894
you know, going into school today,
00:06:40.975 --> 00:06:42.278
coming out in two thousand eight,
00:06:42.298 --> 00:06:43.000
two thousand nine?
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.742
uh i'm gonna i'm gonna drop a a
00:06:46.822 --> 00:06:48.923
fully pt answer it depends if you
00:06:49.163 --> 00:06:52.545
understand what you're going into um it's
00:06:52.586 --> 00:06:55.247
fantastic for some people which is which
00:06:55.288 --> 00:06:57.449
is why the comment section of many of
00:06:57.488 --> 00:06:59.831
these discussions you have people pat
00:06:59.850 --> 00:07:01.872
talking just absolutely past each other
00:07:02.353 --> 00:07:04.593
one person's talking on logic and they're
00:07:04.754 --> 00:07:06.735
right and the other person is talking on
00:07:06.795 --> 00:07:08.396
emotion and they're
00:07:10.762 --> 00:07:12.004
thing that gets you out of bed in
00:07:12.024 --> 00:07:12.564
the mornings,
00:07:12.846 --> 00:07:14.468
you can absolutely make a living and be
00:07:14.528 --> 00:07:15.309
thrilled by it.
00:07:17.358 --> 00:07:18.500
If you like doing it,
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:21.302
and if this is the business you want
00:07:21.322 --> 00:07:21.783
to be in, right?
00:07:21.882 --> 00:07:22.483
I mean,
00:07:22.584 --> 00:07:24.305
I still think we should go back and
00:07:24.345 --> 00:07:25.466
take a look at all of our parting
00:07:25.485 --> 00:07:25.826
shots.
00:07:25.865 --> 00:07:27.307
I'm pretty sure I just recycled the same
00:07:27.367 --> 00:07:29.288
three, but know what business you're in.
00:07:29.649 --> 00:07:30.730
If you love this,
00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:32.252
if this is something you'd love to do,
00:07:32.612 --> 00:07:33.473
it's a great investment.
00:07:33.812 --> 00:07:35.014
If you're looking at it that you're going
00:07:35.033 --> 00:07:35.754
to write a check,
00:07:36.055 --> 00:07:37.216
go to school for three years,
00:07:37.656 --> 00:07:38.976
and then come out and sit on a
00:07:39.016 --> 00:07:41.699
conveyor belt and just be brought forward
00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:43.521
and just progress and progress and make
00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:45.762
more and more money without having to do
00:07:45.783 --> 00:07:45.963
anything
00:07:46.891 --> 00:07:49.673
more you will be greatly disappointed so
00:07:50.295 --> 00:07:55.038
is it worth it it depends dave all
00:07:55.077 --> 00:07:57.158
right i will give you one side of
00:07:57.178 --> 00:07:59.641
the fence yes it is worth it i
00:07:59.661 --> 00:08:01.341
was just interviewing and speaking with
00:08:01.562 --> 00:08:03.223
one of my staff physical therapists the
00:08:03.244 --> 00:08:05.125
new the newest one that's uh about a
00:08:05.225 --> 00:08:07.906
month in and he happened to go to
00:08:07.947 --> 00:08:10.369
toro university or toro college here in
00:08:10.389 --> 00:08:12.029
brooklyn and it was basically like
00:08:12.985 --> 00:08:15.067
Like a third or two thirds cheaper.
00:08:15.187 --> 00:08:17.428
So like his student loan repayments were,
00:08:17.788 --> 00:08:19.370
you know, two thirds less every month.
00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:21.831
So the answer is yes,
00:08:21.851 --> 00:08:23.613
because there's still options around.
00:08:23.634 --> 00:08:24.935
There's still options out there where you
00:08:24.975 --> 00:08:25.975
could be in state.
00:08:26.216 --> 00:08:27.216
You could stay local.
00:08:27.637 --> 00:08:28.997
You don't have to run up the student
00:08:29.038 --> 00:08:29.499
loan debt.
00:08:29.778 --> 00:08:30.939
And then once you're in the profession,
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.780
it's something that a lot of not everyone,
00:08:32.821 --> 00:08:34.162
but a lot of staff physical therapists
00:08:34.322 --> 00:08:34.702
love it.
00:08:35.082 --> 00:08:35.523
They like it.
00:08:35.543 --> 00:08:35.943
They love it.
00:08:35.984 --> 00:08:36.644
They enjoy it.
00:08:36.683 --> 00:08:38.346
They look forward to going to work.
00:08:38.365 --> 00:08:39.086
They're helping people.
00:08:39.105 --> 00:08:40.106
They're making an impact.
00:08:40.386 --> 00:08:40.586
Also,
00:08:40.606 --> 00:08:41.947
I've talked on the show that you then,
00:08:42.349 --> 00:08:43.590
you then learn a whole bunch of
00:08:43.629 --> 00:08:44.931
information that you can help for
00:08:44.971 --> 00:08:45.471
yourself.
00:08:45.831 --> 00:08:47.111
You can help your family members,
00:08:47.152 --> 00:08:48.994
whether it's Tony triaging a family
00:08:49.014 --> 00:08:50.114
member, like, Hey, don't worry.
00:08:50.134 --> 00:08:51.315
It's not that big of a deal, whatever.
00:08:51.995 --> 00:08:52.135
Uh,
00:08:52.155 --> 00:08:53.856
just giving people certainty and
00:08:53.897 --> 00:08:56.078
confidence about their movement.
00:08:56.499 --> 00:08:58.139
And there,
00:08:58.301 --> 00:09:00.601
there's so much of the complaints online
00:09:00.642 --> 00:09:02.724
about capped,
00:09:03.417 --> 00:09:05.317
uh, capped salaries, capped hourly rates,
00:09:05.357 --> 00:09:05.717
all that.
00:09:05.817 --> 00:09:08.038
And that's like, there is truth to it.
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.519
I don't want to dismay.
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:10.980
Um, I don't want to disregard it,
00:09:11.061 --> 00:09:13.962
but there's also practice owners that are
00:09:14.082 --> 00:09:17.144
making really good money and obviously
00:09:17.163 --> 00:09:17.985
here in New York city too,
00:09:18.065 --> 00:09:21.066
like working for me, but also,
00:09:21.125 --> 00:09:22.826
also my competitors, my, my buddies, we,
00:09:22.846 --> 00:09:24.528
we sit down and I mean, there there's,
00:09:24.748 --> 00:09:26.208
there's practice owners taking home,
00:09:26.489 --> 00:09:26.729
you know,
00:09:28.933 --> 00:09:30.975
after after taxes, right?
00:09:31.015 --> 00:09:32.658
So like, like, obviously,
00:09:32.677 --> 00:09:33.618
you have to build a team.
00:09:33.698 --> 00:09:34.438
And that takes a while.
00:09:34.458 --> 00:09:35.360
And that takes a lot of effort.
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.562
And that's not for everyone even to go
00:09:37.601 --> 00:09:38.342
into physical therapy.
00:09:38.383 --> 00:09:40.485
But there's so many different avenues that
00:09:40.504 --> 00:09:41.905
you where you can make an impact.
00:09:42.726 --> 00:09:43.587
You can make good money.
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.600
You have to find it, though.
00:09:45.681 --> 00:09:46.221
That's the thing.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.282
It's like you have to you have to
00:09:47.302 --> 00:09:47.841
be proactive.
00:09:47.922 --> 00:09:48.562
I agree with Jimmy.
00:09:48.582 --> 00:09:49.663
Like if you just want to sit on
00:09:49.703 --> 00:09:51.384
a conveyor belt and you just think all
00:09:51.404 --> 00:09:52.346
the stuff is going to be brought to
00:09:52.385 --> 00:09:52.546
you,
00:09:53.265 --> 00:09:54.346
you're going to be in for a rude
00:09:54.366 --> 00:09:54.687
awakening.
00:09:54.706 --> 00:09:56.008
But I think that's that's the same as
00:09:56.048 --> 00:09:56.508
anything else.
00:09:56.528 --> 00:09:58.029
Like if you're going to go into school
00:09:58.409 --> 00:09:59.190
to be an accountant,
00:09:59.510 --> 00:10:00.811
like there's a ton of accountants that
00:10:00.892 --> 00:10:02.893
leave the world of accountancy.
00:10:03.113 --> 00:10:05.073
There's a there's lawyers that there's
00:10:05.114 --> 00:10:07.395
lawyers that leave law because they hate
00:10:07.416 --> 00:10:07.456
it.
00:10:07.475 --> 00:10:08.456
They get burned out, whatever.
00:10:09.356 --> 00:10:10.258
Um, you know,
00:10:10.278 --> 00:10:11.538
you can go to work for Kirkland and
00:10:11.599 --> 00:10:13.058
Ellis and your first year or two out
00:10:13.078 --> 00:10:13.339
of school,
00:10:13.359 --> 00:10:14.299
you're going to make two hundred and
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.780
thirty grand or something per year.
00:10:16.260 --> 00:10:19.202
But they're going to over they're going to
00:10:19.363 --> 00:10:21.504
overdrive you to the point that
00:10:22.418 --> 00:10:24.120
they don't they're just you know using you
00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:25.421
for billable hours and you're going to
00:10:25.441 --> 00:10:27.042
work evenings and weekends and all that
00:10:27.403 --> 00:10:28.663
and you thought it was great that you
00:10:28.683 --> 00:10:29.845
thought the number was great just like my
00:10:29.865 --> 00:10:31.567
buddy my buddy's coming out of school in
00:10:32.287 --> 00:10:34.830
from my university pharmacy and they're
00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:36.010
like oh man we could make you know
00:10:36.030 --> 00:10:37.451
we got to sign this ten-year contract and
00:10:37.471 --> 00:10:38.732
we can make a hundred and ten grand
00:10:38.894 --> 00:10:41.115
out of school and guess what none of
00:10:41.135 --> 00:10:43.177
them are working for cvs walgreens raid
00:10:43.238 --> 00:10:43.998
aid anymore
00:10:44.958 --> 00:10:46.379
They're working in compound pharmacies or
00:10:46.418 --> 00:10:48.539
hospitals or specialty places.
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.581
So every single degree or profession will
00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:55.581
have the people that come online and say,
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.522
this is the worst thing ever.
00:10:57.042 --> 00:10:59.142
And then a lot of the people are
00:10:59.241 --> 00:11:02.003
so busy making an impact and succeeding
00:11:03.602 --> 00:11:07.144
that they're not sharing the positives
00:11:07.203 --> 00:11:08.264
because they're
00:11:08.504 --> 00:11:10.505
They are growing a team.
00:11:10.765 --> 00:11:12.386
They're doing all this other stuff.
00:11:12.408 --> 00:11:14.548
They're expanding what they're doing.
00:11:14.730 --> 00:11:17.591
I mean, I wish there were more.
00:11:17.672 --> 00:11:20.193
I wish there were more people online that
00:11:20.313 --> 00:11:23.336
I know personally where I've either seen
00:11:23.376 --> 00:11:25.158
their bank accounts, I've seen their P&Ls,
00:11:25.239 --> 00:11:27.000
I've seen what they're doing,
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.721
I've seen the behind the scenes of what
00:11:28.741 --> 00:11:29.822
they're doing and creating...
00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:32.559
a ton of momentum in the profession,
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:33.940
even if it's self pay.
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.181
So anyway, that's my side of the fence,
00:11:36.221 --> 00:11:38.121
which is, yes, it's still worth it.
00:11:39.101 --> 00:11:41.563
But there is the downside in every single
00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:42.984
profession or choice doesn't matter what
00:11:43.024 --> 00:11:45.044
you choose plumbing, HVAC,
00:11:45.345 --> 00:11:47.265
legal accountancy, whatever it is.
00:11:48.248 --> 00:11:48.427
Yeah.
00:11:48.707 --> 00:11:48.849
Yeah.
00:11:48.869 --> 00:11:49.969
You can make a million dollars as an
00:11:50.129 --> 00:11:50.870
HVAC person.
00:11:51.311 --> 00:11:53.211
Do you like crawling in attics?
00:11:53.491 --> 00:11:53.653
Like,
00:11:53.832 --> 00:11:56.174
do you enjoy troubleshooting mechanical
00:11:56.195 --> 00:11:56.514
things?
00:11:56.674 --> 00:11:58.115
Is that a thing that your brain does?
00:11:58.677 --> 00:12:00.878
Because if it's not, every day will suck.
00:12:01.158 --> 00:12:02.099
But you have a lot of money.
00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:02.840
Well,
00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.421
not if your business doesn't go sideways
00:12:04.461 --> 00:12:05.162
or you get fired.
00:12:05.201 --> 00:12:09.885
So none of this is guaranteed.
00:12:11.163 --> 00:12:13.404
Yeah, and I'm in the same camp.
00:12:13.424 --> 00:12:14.884
It depends on what you do with the
00:12:14.924 --> 00:12:15.304
degree.
00:12:15.325 --> 00:12:16.645
It depends on what you do with the
00:12:16.686 --> 00:12:17.985
letters after your name.
00:12:20.047 --> 00:12:22.947
It's one of those deals where we need
00:12:22.988 --> 00:12:25.889
to take accountability for the decisions
00:12:25.969 --> 00:12:26.389
we make.
00:12:26.548 --> 00:12:28.909
I can go spend a ton of money
00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:31.350
on something that sits in my closet,
00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:34.451
or I can use whatever the tool is
00:12:34.471 --> 00:12:35.392
that I just bought.
00:12:36.111 --> 00:12:37.111
I'm trying to pull it up,
00:12:37.152 --> 00:12:38.753
but I can't get to it.
00:12:39.893 --> 00:12:44.014
There was a Instagram channel where a guy
00:12:44.053 --> 00:12:45.774
created a personal training studio.
00:12:45.854 --> 00:12:47.293
I shared it on my personal profile,
00:12:47.313 --> 00:12:48.174
I think on Facebook.
00:12:48.894 --> 00:12:49.875
It was amazing.
00:12:49.914 --> 00:12:52.014
Like this guy had all this comic book
00:12:52.054 --> 00:12:52.414
stuff.
00:12:52.455 --> 00:12:53.696
Now I'm not a comic guy,
00:12:54.216 --> 00:12:56.495
but it was Marvel characters and like
00:12:56.556 --> 00:13:00.297
Spider-Man dumbbells and everything was
00:13:00.417 --> 00:13:02.437
wrapped with comic book stuff.
00:13:02.976 --> 00:13:05.758
There are so many different cool things
00:13:05.837 --> 00:13:06.217
out there.
00:13:06.878 --> 00:13:09.220
that if you want to be a physical
00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:11.660
therapist in two thousand twenty eight,
00:13:12.701 --> 00:13:15.344
but act like it's two thousand eight,
00:13:15.943 --> 00:13:17.345
you're never going to succeed.
00:13:17.365 --> 00:13:19.466
You can't be a twenty year, you know,
00:13:19.566 --> 00:13:20.807
a therapist twenty years ago.
00:13:21.126 --> 00:13:22.587
You have to be a therapist today.
00:13:22.989 --> 00:13:24.109
You have to include media.
00:13:24.168 --> 00:13:25.549
You have to include creativity.
00:13:25.590 --> 00:13:27.171
You have to be willing to step out
00:13:27.211 --> 00:13:29.133
of the conventional model of third party
00:13:29.192 --> 00:13:32.054
reimbursement if you want to do something
00:13:32.115 --> 00:13:33.775
better than the standard of care.
00:13:34.336 --> 00:13:35.277
So if you
00:13:36.390 --> 00:13:38.351
which many of the people I knew back
00:13:38.371 --> 00:13:39.731
in the day were like,
00:13:40.052 --> 00:13:41.033
I can always get a job.
00:13:41.373 --> 00:13:42.352
Yes, this is true.
00:13:43.693 --> 00:13:44.653
Steady salary.
00:13:45.234 --> 00:13:46.995
Nobody gets fired unless you're like,
00:13:47.715 --> 00:13:47.975
you know,
00:13:48.014 --> 00:13:49.816
doing horrible things to your patients.
00:13:50.316 --> 00:13:52.476
Yeah, like that part exists,
00:13:52.537 --> 00:13:54.758
but that's also the bottom ten,
00:13:54.798 --> 00:13:55.677
fifteen percent.
00:13:56.138 --> 00:13:57.259
You're going to make the least amount of
00:13:57.298 --> 00:13:57.538
money.
00:13:57.558 --> 00:13:59.198
You're going to be expected to do the
00:13:59.239 --> 00:14:00.220
most amount of work.
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.143
if you want to take the profession and
00:14:03.182 --> 00:14:07.307
the credential and move to six figure
00:14:07.346 --> 00:14:11.091
salaries you have to do something modern
00:14:11.130 --> 00:14:13.293
something unique something new with it so
00:14:13.754 --> 00:14:15.956
it can be worth it hundred percent and
00:14:15.995 --> 00:14:17.418
i don't care if the government wants to
00:14:17.457 --> 00:14:19.779
loan you money uh up to two hundred
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.042
thousand or whatever the professional
00:14:22.081 --> 00:14:23.264
limit is it doesn't matter
00:14:23.803 --> 00:14:25.365
Because you're talking about something
00:14:25.404 --> 00:14:28.287
that potentially is going to generate six
00:14:28.327 --> 00:14:30.708
figures, you know, low six figures a year.
00:14:31.669 --> 00:14:33.311
And then, of course, like Dave said,
00:14:33.812 --> 00:14:34.932
if you want to step out of the
00:14:35.011 --> 00:14:37.014
patient care clinical role and step into
00:14:37.033 --> 00:14:38.774
the business side of it,
00:14:39.255 --> 00:14:40.736
there's no limit to what you can make.
00:14:41.336 --> 00:14:41.697
You know,
00:14:41.756 --> 00:14:43.258
so it just depends on what you do
00:14:43.278 --> 00:14:44.679
with the asset you're purchasing.
00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:46.140
But make no mistake,
00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:47.662
you're purchasing an asset.
00:14:48.162 --> 00:14:49.263
I bought a license.
00:14:49.783 --> 00:14:51.845
I bought the license to bill insurance.
00:14:53.014 --> 00:14:55.015
That's not necessarily as valuable as it
00:14:55.135 --> 00:14:55.716
used to be,
00:14:56.596 --> 00:15:00.116
but then I also got the information and
00:15:00.136 --> 00:15:02.076
the education along with the license.
00:15:03.998 --> 00:15:04.337
Correct.
00:15:05.018 --> 00:15:05.217
Yeah,
00:15:05.658 --> 00:15:07.198
people have a difficult time separating it
00:15:07.239 --> 00:15:11.100
because I think some people bought a
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:12.320
degree years ago,
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.059
but they
00:15:16.018 --> 00:15:16.859
I don't want to hear that.
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.778
You bought a story.
00:15:18.099 --> 00:15:20.400
The story was told by a recruiter that
00:15:20.441 --> 00:15:21.302
you will do this.
00:15:21.601 --> 00:15:22.802
Your day will look like this.
00:15:22.842 --> 00:15:24.844
Your salary will look like this and your
00:15:24.864 --> 00:15:25.764
life will look like this.
00:15:25.784 --> 00:15:27.066
And they got there and they're like,
00:15:27.546 --> 00:15:29.547
but now I want something different.
00:15:29.847 --> 00:15:31.248
And that's difficult to hear.
00:15:31.268 --> 00:15:32.308
And that's difficult to see.
00:15:32.328 --> 00:15:32.489
Yeah.
00:15:32.509 --> 00:15:33.629
It's all Marvel themed.
00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:35.091
This guy's whole things.
00:15:35.130 --> 00:15:37.011
He's got dumbbells with Captain America
00:15:37.052 --> 00:15:37.852
logos on them.
00:15:37.873 --> 00:15:41.034
He's got a, you know, a Spider-Man.
00:15:41.174 --> 00:15:41.735
Oh, he's got three.
00:15:41.775 --> 00:15:43.437
He's got a cold tub, a hot tub.
00:15:44.835 --> 00:15:45.995
But this is what this guy loves.
00:15:46.996 --> 00:15:47.778
Is this a gym?
00:15:48.698 --> 00:15:49.139
Yeah,
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.042
it's like a personal training studio from
00:15:51.081 --> 00:15:51.923
what I understood.
00:15:52.682 --> 00:15:53.884
He's got all the equipment,
00:15:53.904 --> 00:15:56.067
the lifting platforms, the dumbbells,
00:15:56.586 --> 00:15:58.730
the passive modalities.
00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:01.572
I don't think he's a physical therapist.
00:16:01.613 --> 00:16:02.994
I think it's just a fitness center.
00:16:03.595 --> 00:16:05.636
But it's cool.
00:16:05.897 --> 00:16:07.097
I mean, this is something unique.
00:16:08.254 --> 00:16:09.554
If he had just made this like,
00:16:09.575 --> 00:16:10.775
you know, Spider-Man colors,
00:16:10.796 --> 00:16:11.576
it would have been neat.
00:16:11.735 --> 00:16:14.298
This guy shows that you have to sort
00:16:14.317 --> 00:16:15.139
of go all in.
00:16:15.219 --> 00:16:18.160
Now, he like, you know,
00:16:18.201 --> 00:16:20.501
we mentioned earlier the golf course that
00:16:20.542 --> 00:16:20.923
I'm at.
00:16:21.043 --> 00:16:22.163
If you play around a golf,
00:16:22.183 --> 00:16:23.845
you get a free you get a free
00:16:23.884 --> 00:16:24.465
apple pie.
00:16:24.544 --> 00:16:25.505
Doesn't make any sense.
00:16:25.706 --> 00:16:27.006
Like the market doesn't make any sense.
00:16:27.421 --> 00:16:28.640
But they're connected to an orchard.
00:16:28.660 --> 00:16:30.020
So the family probably had a lot of
00:16:30.081 --> 00:16:30.822
land and was like,
00:16:31.162 --> 00:16:31.981
we're going to take some of it and
00:16:32.001 --> 00:16:32.881
turn it into a golf course.
00:16:32.922 --> 00:16:34.022
Let's connect these two things.
00:16:34.422 --> 00:16:36.081
And then a buddy from two states away
00:16:36.543 --> 00:16:37.182
still knows it.
00:16:37.243 --> 00:16:38.982
So that guy is going â he is,
00:16:39.043 --> 00:16:41.562
as Seth Godin would say, remarkable.
00:16:41.903 --> 00:16:43.323
There's a lot of gyms out there with
00:16:43.344 --> 00:16:44.303
a lot of heavy stuff.
00:16:45.524 --> 00:16:46.384
I've been in a bunch.
00:16:46.403 --> 00:16:47.344
I don't know how many I make a
00:16:47.364 --> 00:16:48.205
remark about.
00:16:48.725 --> 00:16:50.524
But the golf course that gives away apple
00:16:50.585 --> 00:16:52.304
pies doesn't make any sense.
00:16:53.144 --> 00:16:54.326
And once you taste them, you're like, oh,
00:16:54.346 --> 00:16:55.025
my God, these are great,
00:16:55.125 --> 00:16:56.686
worthy of making a remark about.
00:16:57.657 --> 00:16:59.577
Healthcare loves to be mayonnaise, though,
00:16:59.658 --> 00:16:59.998
right?
00:17:00.099 --> 00:17:02.600
I mean, are there other people doing,
00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:04.000
you know, things?
00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:04.641
I mean, like, you know,
00:17:04.661 --> 00:17:06.541
like people like Josh Funk and Rehab to
00:17:06.582 --> 00:17:09.644
Perform go out of their way to not
00:17:09.683 --> 00:17:11.085
just do something remarkable,
00:17:11.125 --> 00:17:13.346
but to show the remarkability over and
00:17:13.386 --> 00:17:13.807
over again.
00:17:14.287 --> 00:17:15.387
In the last few weeks,
00:17:15.508 --> 00:17:18.371
Dave has been on the street in New
00:17:18.391 --> 00:17:20.573
York City with people with nice shirts
00:17:20.972 --> 00:17:22.473
talking about outcome.
00:17:23.976 --> 00:17:25.017
But I'm picking up on that.
00:17:25.037 --> 00:17:25.116
Like,
00:17:25.136 --> 00:17:26.438
you guys are on the Upper East Side.
00:17:26.498 --> 00:17:27.378
I can tell why.
00:17:27.499 --> 00:17:27.818
I don't know.
00:17:27.838 --> 00:17:30.480
It looks like Sex and the City backdrop.
00:17:30.922 --> 00:17:32.522
But that's what you're showing.
00:17:32.563 --> 00:17:34.625
Don't tell me you're concierge this.
00:17:35.145 --> 00:17:35.786
Don't tell me.
00:17:35.945 --> 00:17:36.346
Don't tell me.
00:17:36.626 --> 00:17:37.227
Show me.
00:17:37.326 --> 00:17:38.568
Show me and I'll believe you.
00:17:38.628 --> 00:17:40.170
Tell me and maybe.
00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:42.140
Dave,
00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:45.442
how's the new video stuff going for you?
00:17:45.482 --> 00:17:45.823
Good.
00:17:47.183 --> 00:17:48.265
My new therapist, Ethan,
00:17:48.404 --> 00:17:51.287
had played some baseball in college and
00:17:51.326 --> 00:17:53.268
some, you know, after college type,
00:17:53.508 --> 00:17:54.388
you know, men's league stuff.
00:17:54.769 --> 00:17:56.150
So he's been pushing me to have a
00:17:56.190 --> 00:17:57.171
catch in Central Park.
00:17:57.211 --> 00:17:57.871
And I'm like, dude,
00:17:57.951 --> 00:18:01.032
like we're busy and we're onboarding you
00:18:01.153 --> 00:18:02.314
and you still got stuff to learn.
00:18:02.354 --> 00:18:03.355
And we are so ripped, you know,
00:18:03.595 --> 00:18:04.855
but I was also like, actually,
00:18:05.135 --> 00:18:05.537
you know what?
00:18:05.717 --> 00:18:07.698
Like this is a good time because soon
00:18:07.718 --> 00:18:08.959
you're going to be so busy that like
00:18:09.118 --> 00:18:10.400
you can't, you know, during the day.
00:18:11.163 --> 00:18:12.546
So we went out and had a catch
00:18:12.625 --> 00:18:13.666
in central park last week.
00:18:13.728 --> 00:18:14.548
I brought my new,
00:18:14.608 --> 00:18:15.189
I don't have it here.
00:18:15.589 --> 00:18:17.893
I brought my new extender tripod.
00:18:17.913 --> 00:18:18.974
That's like six feet tall.
00:18:19.375 --> 00:18:20.336
I put my phone on it.
00:18:20.355 --> 00:18:21.397
Like I put my phone on it,
00:18:21.417 --> 00:18:22.779
like right, like right here.
00:18:24.022 --> 00:18:25.323
we each have a lapel mic and he's
00:18:25.383 --> 00:18:26.243
ninety feet away.
00:18:26.523 --> 00:18:27.384
We're having a catch.
00:18:27.723 --> 00:18:28.844
And I'm like talking to the camera.
00:18:29.124 --> 00:18:30.544
But you can obviously hear both of us
00:18:30.584 --> 00:18:31.104
really well.
00:18:31.525 --> 00:18:32.345
So we're having a catch.
00:18:32.444 --> 00:18:33.904
And I'm just talking to him like, hey,
00:18:34.325 --> 00:18:37.205
how do you think it's possible to live
00:18:37.226 --> 00:18:38.806
a comfortable life as a staff physical
00:18:38.826 --> 00:18:39.885
therapist in New York City?
00:18:39.945 --> 00:18:40.465
And he's like, oh, well,
00:18:40.526 --> 00:18:41.807
it depends on where you live and it
00:18:41.846 --> 00:18:44.787
depends on how much student loans and how
00:18:44.807 --> 00:18:45.886
much you spend in general.
00:18:46.346 --> 00:18:48.248
So we're talking about city stuff.
00:18:48.268 --> 00:18:48.748
We're talking about
00:18:49.387 --> 00:18:51.348
city restaurants, um,
00:18:51.409 --> 00:18:52.409
not just clinical stuff.
00:18:52.709 --> 00:18:53.608
I did it also.
00:18:53.749 --> 00:18:56.849
We're doing more video inside the clinic,
00:18:56.910 --> 00:18:58.490
inside like the treatment room and on the
00:18:58.529 --> 00:18:58.869
table.
00:18:59.430 --> 00:18:59.849
And he'll,
00:18:59.930 --> 00:19:02.310
he'll like anonymously tell me about like
00:19:02.351 --> 00:19:04.010
one of his new evals and like, Oh,
00:19:04.050 --> 00:19:04.611
I thought it was this,
00:19:04.631 --> 00:19:05.432
but it was really this.
00:19:05.551 --> 00:19:07.432
And this guy came in with leg pain,
00:19:07.491 --> 00:19:08.692
but, and he was convinced it was,
00:19:08.872 --> 00:19:10.413
you know, hamstring tendinopathy,
00:19:10.452 --> 00:19:11.833
but really it was, uh,
00:19:12.553 --> 00:19:14.093
it was actually like a positive slump
00:19:14.133 --> 00:19:14.373
test.
00:19:14.393 --> 00:19:15.894
And it was actually like a peripheral
00:19:15.933 --> 00:19:16.673
nerve or a,
00:19:17.215 --> 00:19:18.195
or herniated disc, right?
00:19:18.215 --> 00:19:19.997
So we just talk about like anonymous case
00:19:20.017 --> 00:19:20.698
studies like that.
00:19:22.778 --> 00:19:24.038
And also on the sidewalk, like you said.
00:19:24.058 --> 00:19:25.640
So we're just mixing everything in and I'm
00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:27.121
just trying to record as much as possible.
00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:29.221
We're getting patients,
00:19:29.582 --> 00:19:36.105
his patients to consent to video during
00:19:36.125 --> 00:19:38.586
their treatment, which like that,
00:19:38.645 --> 00:19:41.126
I feel like that is almost like the
00:19:41.186 --> 00:19:42.928
holy grail of social media.
00:19:43.008 --> 00:19:44.808
Like because-
00:19:45.711 --> 00:19:47.434
yeah i mean obviously some people don't
00:19:47.474 --> 00:19:49.637
want it and our our ideal client doesn't
00:19:49.678 --> 00:19:51.840
want video typically done in their home
00:19:51.901 --> 00:19:54.244
for house calls but if in the clinic
00:19:54.305 --> 00:19:55.547
it's like you know there's like other
00:19:55.567 --> 00:19:57.690
people around or whatever and you know
00:19:58.069 --> 00:19:59.031
some people are okay with it
00:19:59.719 --> 00:20:00.358
So then I got,
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.161
I got Ethan with the lapel mic soon.
00:20:02.181 --> 00:20:02.661
I'm going to have,
00:20:02.721 --> 00:20:03.981
I want to have the patient also with
00:20:04.001 --> 00:20:06.042
the other lapel mic with their consent.
00:20:06.482 --> 00:20:07.824
And then that way we can hear them
00:20:07.844 --> 00:20:08.845
kind of go back and forth.
00:20:08.884 --> 00:20:10.145
And Ethan does a great job with like
00:20:10.185 --> 00:20:12.586
explaining like the drill or the exercise.
00:20:12.626 --> 00:20:14.288
And then like the patient starts it and
00:20:14.308 --> 00:20:15.368
then perform it.
00:20:15.388 --> 00:20:16.329
So we're just,
00:20:16.349 --> 00:20:17.790
we're just doing all the different types
00:20:17.830 --> 00:20:18.371
of content.
00:20:21.053 --> 00:20:21.292
Jimmy,
00:20:21.333 --> 00:20:23.134
if you need to jump off or whatever,
00:20:23.233 --> 00:20:24.055
do what you need to do.
00:20:24.829 --> 00:20:25.549
Just rubbing elbows.
00:20:25.730 --> 00:20:26.391
Eric Fulmar,
00:20:26.411 --> 00:20:28.211
former APTA Massachusetts president,
00:20:28.231 --> 00:20:29.252
coming over to the dark side in
00:20:29.272 --> 00:20:29.692
Connecticut.
00:20:31.713 --> 00:20:33.035
I think the more that you show,
00:20:33.535 --> 00:20:34.454
you know what, Dave?
00:20:35.316 --> 00:20:37.916
If you couldn't get one patient to consent
00:20:37.936 --> 00:20:38.938
to be on camera,
00:20:39.538 --> 00:20:42.400
then I think you mix what Will Boyd
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:42.799
does,
00:20:43.881 --> 00:20:46.221
which is he doesn't tell anybody's name
00:20:46.241 --> 00:20:47.103
that he's working with.
00:20:47.262 --> 00:20:47.603
He says,
00:20:47.762 --> 00:20:49.683
I'm working with a construction company
00:20:49.723 --> 00:20:51.085
doing three million a year.
00:20:52.353 --> 00:20:53.973
That becomes your character.
00:20:54.535 --> 00:20:55.115
Do you know what I mean?
00:20:55.515 --> 00:20:55.695
Like,
00:20:56.016 --> 00:20:57.416
wouldn't it be great if every time Dave
00:20:57.457 --> 00:20:59.478
steps out like a really great, like, like,
00:20:59.818 --> 00:21:01.559
you know, entryway of a great building.
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:03.721
Hey, just got done treating some,
00:21:03.781 --> 00:21:04.122
you know,
00:21:04.162 --> 00:21:05.702
fifty three year old guy was bummed.
00:21:05.722 --> 00:21:07.364
He couldn't get back on the links,
00:21:07.403 --> 00:21:09.145
but now he's driving at two fifty.
00:21:09.165 --> 00:21:09.605
And that's great.
00:21:09.685 --> 00:21:10.846
You never have to show them.
00:21:11.406 --> 00:21:12.587
Just show them where they live.
00:21:13.028 --> 00:21:14.670
You can assume what that guy looks like.
00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:16.871
You don't need his permission.
00:21:16.911 --> 00:21:17.751
Make some of them up.
00:21:18.815 --> 00:21:21.115
right I mean think of some patients you
00:21:21.135 --> 00:21:24.237
had thirty years ago but I tell you
00:21:24.277 --> 00:21:26.757
what I think you have the ideal scenario
00:21:26.797 --> 00:21:28.877
right now like if my wife would let
00:21:28.917 --> 00:21:33.239
me get her on camera I would be
00:21:33.278 --> 00:21:35.559
the therapist or vice versa she won't do
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.181
it you are willing to be the patient
00:21:38.701 --> 00:21:41.801
you're you're holding the camera you're
00:21:41.842 --> 00:21:42.662
the patient and
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:45.780
Your therapist is doing the explanation.
00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:48.382
You don't even need to have other actual
00:21:48.442 --> 00:21:49.061
patients.
00:21:49.582 --> 00:21:51.123
You fit the demographic.
00:21:51.623 --> 00:21:54.923
I don't think you're that far from who
00:21:54.963 --> 00:21:56.384
the ideal client is.
00:21:56.944 --> 00:21:59.226
I think just those videos which you've
00:21:59.266 --> 00:22:00.026
done before
00:22:00.746 --> 00:22:02.587
I think those would perform really well.
00:22:03.327 --> 00:22:05.369
And I would experiment with different ways
00:22:05.430 --> 00:22:05.910
to do that.
00:22:05.950 --> 00:22:07.932
Either the phone on the selfie stick where
00:22:07.951 --> 00:22:09.173
it's out in front of you.
00:22:09.573 --> 00:22:10.794
You're close to the camera.
00:22:10.834 --> 00:22:12.295
The therapist is behind you.
00:22:12.355 --> 00:22:14.978
You're both mic'd up and kind of talking
00:22:14.998 --> 00:22:16.239
about what he's doing.
00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:20.162
I think you've done it with your wife
00:22:20.201 --> 00:22:24.424
maybe, but that is good enough.
00:22:24.505 --> 00:22:26.606
Like that is a great scenario for you
00:22:26.626 --> 00:22:28.288
to keep making those videos and they're
00:22:28.387 --> 00:22:28.989
easy to make.
00:22:30.726 --> 00:22:32.387
Right on.
00:22:32.407 --> 00:22:33.148
All right, so we're going back.
00:22:33.169 --> 00:22:34.089
I'm going to go play some golf.
00:22:34.150 --> 00:22:37.712
What's that?
00:22:37.772 --> 00:22:39.214
I got to jump off and go play
00:22:39.234 --> 00:22:39.515
some golf.
00:22:39.555 --> 00:22:40.415
We're going to tee off.
00:22:40.455 --> 00:22:42.758
But I would say my parting shot would
00:22:42.798 --> 00:22:44.820
be it's worth it.
00:22:44.840 --> 00:22:45.922
Know what business you're in.
00:22:46.281 --> 00:22:47.442
Understand what business you're in.
00:22:47.563 --> 00:22:49.384
And then it's worth it to you or
00:22:49.444 --> 00:22:49.945
not to you.
00:22:50.006 --> 00:22:51.547
But it can't be an everybody question.
00:22:51.948 --> 00:22:52.969
All right, guys, we'll talk to you soon.
00:22:52.989 --> 00:22:53.930
Enjoy.
00:22:55.768 --> 00:22:57.750
All right, so before you jumped on,
00:22:57.849 --> 00:23:00.712
we were talking about some APTA stuff and
00:23:00.752 --> 00:23:02.795
just general professional topics.
00:23:03.996 --> 00:23:07.378
There is a therapist who I've interacted
00:23:07.419 --> 00:23:09.201
with a little bit on TikTok.
00:23:12.384 --> 00:23:14.526
I can't get his name right now,
00:23:14.586 --> 00:23:18.210
but we were talking about AI coming into
00:23:18.269 --> 00:23:18.970
patient care.
00:23:20.017 --> 00:23:20.477
Obviously,
00:23:20.517 --> 00:23:22.278
there are all the efficiencies on
00:23:22.358 --> 00:23:24.800
documentation and billing and insurance
00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:27.262
verification, stuff like that.
00:23:27.722 --> 00:23:29.325
My thing, and I'm curious,
00:23:29.505 --> 00:23:31.125
you as a young dad,
00:23:31.286 --> 00:23:32.788
as a new young dad,
00:23:33.973 --> 00:23:36.736
I said AI needs to be a bigger
00:23:36.776 --> 00:23:39.659
part of the PT curriculum.
00:23:39.719 --> 00:23:42.981
They should be developing AI tools to help
00:23:43.041 --> 00:23:46.565
DPT candidates, DPT students learn better,
00:23:46.644 --> 00:23:47.645
learn faster,
00:23:48.286 --> 00:23:51.328
improve the scope of information.
00:23:53.388 --> 00:23:54.750
And thankfully,
00:23:55.309 --> 00:23:57.330
the person that I was talking to agreed.
00:23:57.750 --> 00:23:59.811
Now, he said within academics,
00:23:59.852 --> 00:24:01.553
there's a lot of professors who are
00:24:01.593 --> 00:24:02.553
completely against AI.
00:24:03.374 --> 00:24:05.775
There are professors who are proponents of
00:24:05.875 --> 00:24:06.275
AI.
00:24:06.894 --> 00:24:09.135
But I just couldn't imagine being a PT
00:24:09.155 --> 00:24:10.036
student today,
00:24:10.636 --> 00:24:13.617
not having my own personal AI chat,
00:24:14.157 --> 00:24:16.558
who I could do case studies with,
00:24:16.739 --> 00:24:19.179
I could do twenty questions with,
00:24:19.239 --> 00:24:20.579
practice evals with,
00:24:20.660 --> 00:24:22.319
clinical scenarios with.
00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:24.961
What are your thoughts?
00:24:25.121 --> 00:24:27.902
Because obviously your son's going to grow
00:24:27.981 --> 00:24:29.281
up in an AI world.
00:24:30.402 --> 00:24:32.383
What are you guys seeing with that?
00:24:34.304 --> 00:24:37.664
Well, even before he was born,
00:24:38.204 --> 00:24:38.605
my wife and I,
00:24:38.644 --> 00:24:39.265
we were already
00:24:40.237 --> 00:24:43.042
very focused and on the same page of
00:24:43.163 --> 00:24:44.486
minimizing any screen time.
00:24:45.247 --> 00:24:45.426
So,
00:24:46.310 --> 00:24:47.951
The only thing he does on a screen
00:24:48.211 --> 00:24:49.913
is at the end of speaking to a
00:24:49.952 --> 00:24:52.834
family member on FaceTime video calls is
00:24:52.854 --> 00:24:54.075
he wants to come and he wants to
00:24:54.134 --> 00:24:55.694
press the X to hang it up.
00:24:56.135 --> 00:24:59.176
That is literally the only time he has
00:24:59.336 --> 00:25:00.978
ever touched a screen.
00:25:01.038 --> 00:25:01.897
He doesn't know how to really,
00:25:01.958 --> 00:25:02.898
he doesn't know how to swipe.
00:25:03.778 --> 00:25:05.380
Uh, you know, you've seen videos of like,
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:05.680
you know,
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:07.621
three months or six month olds where like
00:25:07.641 --> 00:25:09.201
they somehow figure out how to do a
00:25:09.281 --> 00:25:11.122
swipe on like an iPad or something.
00:25:12.103 --> 00:25:12.182
Um,
00:25:13.912 --> 00:25:17.714
we're very focused on avoiding the tech
00:25:17.954 --> 00:25:19.195
integration, if that makes sense.
00:25:19.256 --> 00:25:21.478
Now in the future, yeah.
00:25:22.778 --> 00:25:24.460
When it becomes part of school or
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.101
whatever,
00:25:26.201 --> 00:25:29.284
I think there could be benefit on how
00:25:29.324 --> 00:25:30.984
to leverage it,
00:25:31.065 --> 00:25:31.625
like how to
00:25:32.528 --> 00:25:33.409
you know, almost get like a,
00:25:33.669 --> 00:25:36.049
like a class or a tutorial in AI
00:25:36.069 --> 00:25:37.730
in terms of like what a student would
00:25:37.809 --> 00:25:38.309
use it for,
00:25:38.730 --> 00:25:41.471
for like research purposes and how to find
00:25:41.691 --> 00:25:44.631
research articles or how to, I don't know,
00:25:44.651 --> 00:25:44.790
like,
00:25:44.851 --> 00:25:47.332
I guess how they'll use it for book
00:25:47.352 --> 00:25:48.991
reports instead of like the old school way
00:25:49.011 --> 00:25:49.892
that we did book reports.
00:25:49.912 --> 00:25:50.192
I don't know.
00:25:50.211 --> 00:25:50.553
I don't know.
00:25:50.573 --> 00:25:51.133
Like what else?
00:25:51.692 --> 00:25:53.593
Um, second graders, fourth graders are,
00:25:53.692 --> 00:25:54.492
are using AI.
00:25:54.553 --> 00:25:55.532
Is that what your, your,
00:25:55.794 --> 00:25:57.453
your line of thought on that?
00:25:58.253 --> 00:25:59.554
The point of school is,
00:25:59.834 --> 00:26:01.634
teach me how to learn, right?
00:26:02.434 --> 00:26:03.815
I'm a student in school,
00:26:03.855 --> 00:26:05.875
whether it's second grade or twelfth
00:26:05.895 --> 00:26:06.215
grade.
00:26:06.836 --> 00:26:08.036
Teach me how to learn.
00:26:08.096 --> 00:26:09.576
Teach me how to find the research.
00:26:09.615 --> 00:26:11.676
Teach me how to ask the critical
00:26:11.696 --> 00:26:12.196
questions.
00:26:12.997 --> 00:26:13.936
I think we all agree,
00:26:13.957 --> 00:26:15.537
there isn't a single human that's like,
00:26:15.576 --> 00:26:17.238
no, give me the information,
00:26:17.278 --> 00:26:18.998
spoon feed me so I never have to
00:26:19.038 --> 00:26:19.817
learn anything.
00:26:20.417 --> 00:26:23.318
We all want to be lifelong learners,
00:26:23.818 --> 00:26:27.019
but the human educator in front of a
00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:27.539
class
00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:29.481
only has so much time,
00:26:29.602 --> 00:26:30.784
only has so much energy,
00:26:30.864 --> 00:26:32.385
only has so many resources.
00:26:32.926 --> 00:26:34.189
So you take AI,
00:26:34.568 --> 00:26:39.435
you make that machine teach you how to
00:26:39.517 --> 00:26:39.836
learn,
00:26:40.862 --> 00:26:44.462
I think that's where we're missing each
00:26:44.522 --> 00:26:46.223
other in this conversation because you've
00:26:46.243 --> 00:26:48.223
got the people against it who are
00:26:48.263 --> 00:26:51.025
concerned about environmental impact.
00:26:51.045 --> 00:26:52.505
They're concerned about all this other
00:26:52.545 --> 00:26:52.984
stuff.
00:26:53.065 --> 00:26:54.986
They're working against data centers.
00:26:55.006 --> 00:26:56.846
They're working against the infrastructure
00:26:56.866 --> 00:26:57.386
build out.
00:26:58.227 --> 00:27:00.268
But they also are saying, well,
00:27:00.307 --> 00:27:02.528
it's just going to make everybody dumb and
00:27:02.567 --> 00:27:04.169
give everybody the answer and nobody's
00:27:04.209 --> 00:27:05.229
going to think for themselves.
00:27:06.436 --> 00:27:08.498
I completely disregard that argument
00:27:08.538 --> 00:27:10.038
because I think it's wrong.
00:27:10.118 --> 00:27:12.880
I think anybody who understands how tools
00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:15.961
function, how tools work, understands, no,
00:27:16.001 --> 00:27:17.563
the purpose of AI isn't to give me
00:27:17.603 --> 00:27:17.962
the answer.
00:27:18.002 --> 00:27:20.144
I don't trust any answer AI gives me.
00:27:20.824 --> 00:27:22.884
It's to teach me how to think critically
00:27:22.924 --> 00:27:24.266
and ask better questions.
00:27:24.705 --> 00:27:27.028
I think you use it that way today
00:27:27.087 --> 00:27:29.388
in your business operations, in your life.
00:27:30.048 --> 00:27:32.130
it helps you analyze numbers it helps you
00:27:32.170 --> 00:27:35.071
look at different perspectives and as a
00:27:35.152 --> 00:27:38.894
dpt student in the programs right now i
00:27:38.913 --> 00:27:41.496
just every single day i'd be using it
00:27:41.556 --> 00:27:43.457
as my study mate i'd be telling it
00:27:43.497 --> 00:27:46.137
to create you know analyze the performance
00:27:46.417 --> 00:27:49.039
of this test take the questions i got
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.461
wrong if i was practicing for the mpte
00:27:53.022 --> 00:27:54.243
look at the ones I got wrong,
00:27:54.845 --> 00:27:56.125
create study guides,
00:27:56.165 --> 00:27:57.708
create testing material,
00:27:57.969 --> 00:28:00.672
drill that information with me so that I
00:28:00.751 --> 00:28:02.954
don't get that wrong on the actual test.
00:28:03.694 --> 00:28:05.657
It's what we all did when we were
00:28:05.678 --> 00:28:06.018
in school,
00:28:06.038 --> 00:28:07.640
it's just now we're using a computer to
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.442
do it faster, better.
00:28:10.609 --> 00:28:13.433
um but i have not heard a single
00:28:13.473 --> 00:28:15.415
story coming out of any of the
00:28:15.536 --> 00:28:18.298
universities about how they are
00:28:18.499 --> 00:28:21.522
implementing ai to improve the quality of
00:28:21.583 --> 00:28:23.744
education improve the quality of new grads
00:28:23.765 --> 00:28:26.608
coming out and even the person who's not
00:28:26.669 --> 00:28:27.348
against it
00:28:28.069 --> 00:28:28.971
He still said,
00:28:29.270 --> 00:28:30.510
we have to research it more.
00:28:30.570 --> 00:28:32.593
We have to kind of put more time
00:28:32.653 --> 00:28:34.334
into it to figure out how we're going
00:28:34.354 --> 00:28:34.814
to use it.
00:28:35.574 --> 00:28:35.973
I'm like,
00:28:36.355 --> 00:28:37.454
by the time you figure it out,
00:28:37.515 --> 00:28:39.856
it's going to be ten iterations ahead of
00:28:39.896 --> 00:28:40.257
you.
00:28:40.797 --> 00:28:42.337
It's not going to stay where it is
00:28:42.377 --> 00:28:42.817
right now.
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.141
I can certainly see the value and the
00:28:47.161 --> 00:28:48.560
benefit because it is kind of like a
00:28:48.661 --> 00:28:50.102
new, I don't know,
00:28:50.122 --> 00:28:51.163
it's like a new frontier, right?
00:28:51.182 --> 00:28:52.923
Like this whole shift.
00:28:54.365 --> 00:28:55.125
At some point it was like,
00:28:55.925 --> 00:28:57.586
The new frontier was, I don't know,
00:28:57.626 --> 00:29:00.929
like laptops, I guess, you know,
00:29:01.048 --> 00:29:05.092
like for students and then maybe at some
00:29:05.112 --> 00:29:07.153
point tablets or smartphones or, you know,
00:29:07.192 --> 00:29:10.115
but yeah, there's never been, I guess,
00:29:10.134 --> 00:29:12.115
like an acceleration of this magnitude
00:29:12.135 --> 00:29:15.018
that can help with so many things like
00:29:15.478 --> 00:29:17.578
how to study, how to find information,
00:29:17.638 --> 00:29:20.221
how to process that information,
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:21.501
how to take that information and then you
00:29:21.582 --> 00:29:22.082
utilize it.
00:29:22.441 --> 00:29:24.021
for students in, like you said,
00:29:24.602 --> 00:29:26.743
even like how to actually study or how
00:29:26.763 --> 00:29:28.785
to prepare, which is huge.
00:29:28.805 --> 00:29:32.027
And your initial question was,
00:29:32.346 --> 00:29:35.128
should schools be helping students with
00:29:35.148 --> 00:29:35.269
that?
00:29:35.328 --> 00:29:36.809
Or should there be some types of like
00:29:36.829 --> 00:29:38.931
courses or framework on how to like
00:29:38.951 --> 00:29:41.032
approach it to use it as a student
00:29:41.153 --> 00:29:42.393
in like grade school or high school?
00:29:42.854 --> 00:29:43.433
A hundred percent.
00:29:44.034 --> 00:29:45.816
Yeah, embrace it, you know,
00:29:47.309 --> 00:29:49.230
It's already here, it's not going away.
00:29:49.471 --> 00:29:51.352
So let's figure out how to do it
00:29:51.432 --> 00:29:52.991
properly, ethically.
00:29:55.173 --> 00:29:57.493
I'm just looking at what other topics we
00:29:57.554 --> 00:29:57.973
had.
00:29:58.854 --> 00:30:02.016
I got something from yesterday.
00:30:02.976 --> 00:30:03.175
Well,
00:30:03.756 --> 00:30:06.156
yesterday we had a technician come over
00:30:07.037 --> 00:30:09.718
same day urgent for our refrigerator.
00:30:12.378 --> 00:30:15.580
So our refrigerator has been just leaking
00:30:15.641 --> 00:30:16.401
water underneath.
00:30:16.905 --> 00:30:18.307
the coming out from underneath the
00:30:18.326 --> 00:30:20.847
refrigerator for probably too long,
00:30:20.968 --> 00:30:23.309
probably, probably a couple of months,
00:30:23.369 --> 00:30:24.049
probably a couple of months.
00:30:24.770 --> 00:30:26.132
And then intermittently recently,
00:30:26.172 --> 00:30:27.372
it's been making some weird noises.
00:30:27.392 --> 00:30:28.952
You know, it's almost like a, like a,
00:30:29.053 --> 00:30:30.814
like a whale noise or, you know, like,
00:30:30.834 --> 00:30:32.855
or like a dying whale noise or something
00:30:32.875 --> 00:30:33.256
like that.
00:30:33.296 --> 00:30:33.596
Like just,
00:30:33.635 --> 00:30:34.636
I'm not even gonna do the noises,
00:30:34.676 --> 00:30:36.317
but you've heard different fridge noises.
00:30:36.837 --> 00:30:37.919
Where you're like, oh, no,
00:30:37.959 --> 00:30:39.499
is the fridge dying?
00:30:39.558 --> 00:30:40.519
Is it, you know,
00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:42.480
is like the ice machine?
00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:42.840
Whatever.
00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:43.961
Something's going on.
00:30:44.741 --> 00:30:46.583
So we've kind of been putting it off.
00:30:46.643 --> 00:30:49.104
And then it started to make worse noises
00:30:49.403 --> 00:30:50.704
yesterday or the day before.
00:30:51.746 --> 00:30:53.626
And then the temperature inside the
00:30:53.666 --> 00:30:56.847
refrigerator, the freezer was still good.
00:30:57.327 --> 00:30:58.929
The temperature inside the refrigerator
00:30:58.949 --> 00:30:59.650
was like, whoa,
00:30:59.690 --> 00:31:01.851
like this is not really cold now.
00:31:02.171 --> 00:31:04.092
And we're like cranking up the button to
00:31:04.152 --> 00:31:05.071
increase the coldness.
00:31:05.412 --> 00:31:06.133
That didn't help.
00:31:06.855 --> 00:31:10.115
So then I'm grateful for my wife because
00:31:10.175 --> 00:31:10.855
I was out yesterday.
00:31:10.915 --> 00:31:13.256
So she was looking around and like every
00:31:13.316 --> 00:31:15.676
place nearby that does like refrigerator
00:31:15.817 --> 00:31:16.257
repair,
00:31:16.636 --> 00:31:18.258
like they all have like horrible Google
00:31:18.278 --> 00:31:18.718
reviews,
00:31:19.298 --> 00:31:21.117
except for this one place that has like
00:31:21.278 --> 00:31:23.318
four point nine star reviews,
00:31:23.358 --> 00:31:24.459
like all these reviews.
00:31:24.818 --> 00:31:26.419
But some of the reviews are like this
00:31:26.459 --> 00:31:27.200
place is great.
00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.380
They're very prompt.
00:31:28.996 --> 00:31:31.477
But they're also expensive.
00:31:32.157 --> 00:31:35.378
And at this point, it's like, hey,
00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:37.400
we're taking food out of the freezer and
00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:38.000
the refrigerator,
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:39.881
putting it in the coolers with ice packs.
00:31:41.082 --> 00:31:42.402
When you're at that point,
00:31:43.163 --> 00:31:44.262
you have no leverage,
00:31:44.903 --> 00:31:47.644
which means you have to potentially buck
00:31:47.744 --> 00:31:49.645
up and pay what they're charging,
00:31:49.945 --> 00:31:50.385
which is,
00:31:51.086 --> 00:31:53.166
guess how much the hourly rate is, Tony?
00:31:53.406 --> 00:31:54.748
Now, again,
00:31:54.827 --> 00:31:56.608
I know this is New York City, but...
00:31:58.396 --> 00:31:59.398
What do you think?
00:31:59.419 --> 00:32:01.663
My best guess, my truthful guess,
00:32:01.743 --> 00:32:03.227
I'm going to say three hundred and fifty
00:32:03.267 --> 00:32:06.172
dollars an hour.
00:32:06.231 --> 00:32:06.633
Yeah.
00:32:06.673 --> 00:32:08.195
Four hundred and fifty dollars an hour.
00:32:08.396 --> 00:32:09.218
OK.
00:32:09.317 --> 00:32:09.519
Yeah.
00:32:10.857 --> 00:32:11.518
Uh, the,
00:32:11.538 --> 00:32:12.939
there was like a hundred and forty nine
00:32:12.979 --> 00:32:15.359
dollar diagnostic fee that like it,
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.541
that would be subtracted from the, the,
00:32:18.582 --> 00:32:18.981
the deal.
00:32:19.842 --> 00:32:21.522
Uh, if, if you went with them, right.
00:32:21.583 --> 00:32:23.104
And if you decided like, all right,
00:32:23.124 --> 00:32:24.884
I'm going to like go with someone else
00:32:24.943 --> 00:32:25.104
or,
00:32:25.263 --> 00:32:27.224
or not have them do like the hourly
00:32:27.305 --> 00:32:27.826
rate or whatever,
00:32:28.145 --> 00:32:29.145
then you would still have to pay a
00:32:29.165 --> 00:32:29.987
hundred forty nine dollars.
00:32:30.027 --> 00:32:30.166
Like,
00:32:30.247 --> 00:32:31.247
I guess like even if they were here
00:32:31.267 --> 00:32:32.508
for like ten or fifteen minutes or
00:32:32.548 --> 00:32:32.788
something.
00:32:32.827 --> 00:32:35.148
So obviously like they want you to do
00:32:35.169 --> 00:32:35.848
the whole, you know,
00:32:36.229 --> 00:32:37.589
have like do the whole job.
00:32:37.650 --> 00:32:37.809
Right.
00:32:38.698 --> 00:32:41.161
so the guy the technician was excellent he
00:32:41.181 --> 00:32:43.943
was explaining everything uh and he was
00:32:44.003 --> 00:32:46.346
very thorough and he basically took apart
00:32:46.365 --> 00:32:47.747
the entire refrigerator unfortunately we
00:32:47.767 --> 00:32:49.328
had to take all the shelves out we
00:32:49.368 --> 00:32:50.329
had to take everything out of the
00:32:50.369 --> 00:32:53.252
refrigerator it was a big process uh and
00:32:53.272 --> 00:32:54.294
then he was here for an hour and
00:32:54.314 --> 00:32:58.178
a half and uh it was yeah after
00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:01.541
after after selling him so
00:33:02.739 --> 00:33:03.979
if it's Zelle or Venmo, whatever,
00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.740
like there's still,
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:06.720
there's still a sales tax.
00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:07.941
I'm like, Oh God.
00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.141
Right.
00:33:08.161 --> 00:33:09.340
But I don't, you know, I don't have,
00:33:09.641 --> 00:33:11.142
I don't have six hundred dollars cash in
00:33:11.162 --> 00:33:11.561
my pocket.
00:33:11.602 --> 00:33:12.201
Like who does now?
00:33:12.402 --> 00:33:12.741
Nowadays.
00:33:12.801 --> 00:33:12.982
Right.
00:33:13.583 --> 00:33:15.804
So I, we sell them.
00:33:15.884 --> 00:33:16.144
It was,
00:33:16.663 --> 00:33:18.564
that was an hour and a half of
00:33:18.584 --> 00:33:20.484
the hourly rate plus tax or whatever.
00:33:20.505 --> 00:33:22.445
It was six hundred and fifty two something
00:33:22.486 --> 00:33:22.865
dollars.
00:33:23.954 --> 00:33:25.736
Um, which I, that's another thing.
00:33:25.796 --> 00:33:27.237
Like when it's Zeller Venmo, it,
00:33:27.477 --> 00:33:28.857
it's just, I mean, it feels,
00:33:28.978 --> 00:33:30.019
it feels a little bit better.
00:33:30.439 --> 00:33:30.798
Like if I'm,
00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:33.201
if I'm handing over six hundred fifty two
00:33:33.221 --> 00:33:34.740
dollars of cash, it's like, oh,
00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:35.741
that's like a gut punch.
00:33:36.281 --> 00:33:37.343
But it's like, it's Zell.
00:33:37.383 --> 00:33:38.523
So it's almost like fake money.
00:33:38.564 --> 00:33:39.263
It's like funny money.
00:33:39.304 --> 00:33:40.565
It's, I don't know, like it's,
00:33:40.625 --> 00:33:41.484
I guess it's mind of money,
00:33:41.505 --> 00:33:42.925
but it's some digits out of my bank
00:33:42.945 --> 00:33:43.487
account.
00:33:43.906 --> 00:33:45.347
Some digits go into his bank account.
00:33:45.367 --> 00:33:48.628
Um, but the, the,
00:33:49.190 --> 00:33:50.369
the thing I wanted to mention on the
00:33:50.390 --> 00:33:51.230
show is that, um,
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:53.480
yes is a lot of money.
00:33:53.701 --> 00:33:54.662
Then I'm asking my wife,
00:33:54.701 --> 00:33:55.982
like how much is like a, how much,
00:33:56.063 --> 00:33:56.723
I have no idea.
00:33:56.923 --> 00:33:58.144
Like how much is a new refrigerator?
00:33:58.164 --> 00:33:59.066
Like a thousand or two?
00:33:59.346 --> 00:34:01.167
Because if this happens again,
00:34:01.248 --> 00:34:03.289
like we're already potentially two,
00:34:03.750 --> 00:34:05.633
we're potentially halfway or three
00:34:05.653 --> 00:34:07.354
quarters of the way towards the next
00:34:07.433 --> 00:34:07.875
refrigerator.
00:34:07.914 --> 00:34:09.516
Then I'm asking like, when did this,
00:34:09.856 --> 00:34:11.197
when did we get this refrigerator?
00:34:11.237 --> 00:34:11.699
Or when did you,
00:34:11.818 --> 00:34:13.159
when did you get like, was it,
00:34:13.518 --> 00:34:14.059
I don't know,
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.880
twenty two thousand nine or twenty eleven
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.039
or something like what?
00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.460
How old is this?
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.900
And then if this gets all fixed,
00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:21.320
like what's the what's the longevity of
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:22.760
this refrigerator after today?
00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:23.740
Assuming everything, you know,
00:34:24.242 --> 00:34:26.282
he had to like melt ice inside the
00:34:26.322 --> 00:34:28.023
refrigerator and there was some flap that
00:34:28.563 --> 00:34:31.262
wasn't closing and it was like the
00:34:31.322 --> 00:34:31.822
airflow.
00:34:31.862 --> 00:34:32.503
And I didn't know this,
00:34:32.523 --> 00:34:34.403
but the airflow from the freezer,
00:34:34.804 --> 00:34:36.204
that cold air is what goes up into
00:34:36.224 --> 00:34:36.764
the refrigerator.
00:34:36.784 --> 00:34:38.164
It's like a one way or a one
00:34:38.264 --> 00:34:41.425
or a one area flow of air inside
00:34:41.465 --> 00:34:42.405
this refrigerator unit.
00:34:43.313 --> 00:34:44.773
But the reason why I wanted to mention
00:34:44.793 --> 00:34:46.695
this is because of everything I just said.
00:34:46.735 --> 00:34:48.375
But then also at the end,
00:34:49.295 --> 00:34:50.896
we're opening up the back of the
00:34:50.936 --> 00:34:52.476
refrigerator and he's like, hey,
00:34:53.876 --> 00:34:55.635
can I teach you how to change this
00:34:55.655 --> 00:34:55.856
thing?
00:34:56.077 --> 00:34:57.476
You need to change this like little
00:34:57.697 --> 00:34:59.717
silicon filter thing in the back.
00:35:00.456 --> 00:35:02.597
He goes, I'll show you the product online.
00:35:03.277 --> 00:35:04.557
It's pretty cheap online.
00:35:05.257 --> 00:35:05.958
I'm like, yeah, sure.
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.099
So I record video on my phone.
00:35:09.012 --> 00:35:10.853
he opens up the back of the refrigerator.
00:35:10.914 --> 00:35:12.833
He shows me how to change this other
00:35:12.873 --> 00:35:14.335
little tube and filter.
00:35:14.614 --> 00:35:15.335
You can, I can see,
00:35:15.355 --> 00:35:15.954
he shows me it's,
00:35:16.235 --> 00:35:18.496
it's basically worn out just from wear and
00:35:18.516 --> 00:35:18.976
tear or whatever.
00:35:18.996 --> 00:35:19.896
And for, for years.
00:35:20.637 --> 00:35:22.036
And so he's like, I'll,
00:35:22.117 --> 00:35:22.757
I'll teach you how to,
00:35:23.336 --> 00:35:25.677
I'll teach you how to do this because
00:35:25.717 --> 00:35:27.318
otherwise I would have to come back and
00:35:27.338 --> 00:35:29.219
that would be like another, you know,
00:35:29.278 --> 00:35:30.340
three hundred dollars or whatever.
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:32.860
Like that would be like another call,
00:35:33.661 --> 00:35:34.581
another visit here.
00:35:35.943 --> 00:35:36.682
Uh, so he's like,
00:35:36.862 --> 00:35:38.003
or I could just teach you how to
00:35:38.043 --> 00:35:38.364
do it.
00:35:38.463 --> 00:35:39.443
And it's like very easy.
00:35:40.405 --> 00:35:42.684
He shows me the part online with the,
00:35:42.724 --> 00:35:44.186
with the model number, the part on,
00:35:44.445 --> 00:35:46.246
on Amazon is like, so I'm like,
00:35:46.847 --> 00:35:47.447
I'm like, great.
00:35:47.527 --> 00:35:48.166
We'll order that.
00:35:48.606 --> 00:35:49.588
Shows me how to do it.
00:35:49.668 --> 00:35:51.688
I record the video on my phone.
00:35:51.708 --> 00:35:53.028
So now I know how to do it.
00:35:54.668 --> 00:35:56.590
And then we settle up and there,
00:35:57.170 --> 00:35:58.351
anyone that's watching or listening,
00:35:58.391 --> 00:36:00.951
like I'm not making the direct correlation
00:36:00.971 --> 00:36:02.672
to physical therapy because
00:36:04.307 --> 00:36:06.469
he and our interaction is kind of like
00:36:06.489 --> 00:36:08.411
a one-off like he he the whole thing
00:36:08.431 --> 00:36:10.913
was framed around capturing as i guess as
00:36:10.972 --> 00:36:13.074
much value and as much dollars that would
00:36:13.275 --> 00:36:16.137
you know equally match uh what he did
00:36:16.177 --> 00:36:17.958
and how he did it but it's different
00:36:17.978 --> 00:36:20.239
than what we do in terms of it's
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:21.860
almost would be like the evaluation only
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.601
which sometimes tony you do and that's
00:36:23.782 --> 00:36:24.842
that's why i want to make the connection
00:36:24.862 --> 00:36:26.905
there because he's teaching me how to do
00:36:26.945 --> 00:36:29.045
this other thing to prevent me from having
00:36:29.085 --> 00:36:29.746
like a second
00:36:30.835 --> 00:36:32.356
house call you know a second appointment
00:36:32.376 --> 00:36:34.036
or whatever whereas physical therapy is
00:36:34.077 --> 00:36:35.617
obviously like obviously in our business
00:36:35.637 --> 00:36:37.318
like we never do that like we're not
00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:38.518
we're hardly ever going to be like all
00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:40.019
right that's all you need and let me
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.480
teach you all the exercises you can do
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:42.880
on your own because we know people are
00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:45.802
not going to do them anyway and um
00:36:45.882 --> 00:36:48.722
i just can't imagine doing an evaluation
00:36:48.842 --> 00:36:50.304
and then like not doing a plan of
00:36:50.324 --> 00:36:52.085
care i think for most people at least
00:36:52.105 --> 00:36:54.226
for our clientele and or my brain that
00:36:54.266 --> 00:36:54.826
that's just how i
00:36:55.563 --> 00:36:56.782
work like I know people are going to
00:36:56.802 --> 00:36:58.643
need the accountability for the follow up
00:36:58.664 --> 00:37:00.043
and it's going to take more than just
00:37:00.083 --> 00:37:01.105
an hour and a half like it did
00:37:01.144 --> 00:37:02.764
for this guy with the refrigerator.
00:37:02.885 --> 00:37:03.385
Obviously,
00:37:03.425 --> 00:37:04.686
like we're dealing with humans and
00:37:04.726 --> 00:37:05.385
physical therapy.
00:37:05.485 --> 00:37:06.266
And in this case,
00:37:06.545 --> 00:37:07.586
this guy's just dealing with this
00:37:07.746 --> 00:37:09.186
refrigerator that he knows how to fix and
00:37:09.206 --> 00:37:10.568
it just took him an hour and a
00:37:10.628 --> 00:37:10.847
half.
00:37:11.367 --> 00:37:11.887
So yes,
00:37:11.927 --> 00:37:13.588
the six hundred fifty two dollars even in
00:37:13.608 --> 00:37:15.108
New York City is expensive.
00:37:16.570 --> 00:37:18.530
And there's just like some similarities,
00:37:18.550 --> 00:37:20.311
but obviously there's some, you know,
00:37:20.990 --> 00:37:22.692
areas that are like dissimilar from what
00:37:22.711 --> 00:37:22.911
we do.
00:37:22.992 --> 00:37:23.871
So I just wanted to throw it out
00:37:23.891 --> 00:37:24.032
there.
00:37:24.835 --> 00:37:26.356
I think we could take so many lessons
00:37:26.396 --> 00:37:27.235
away from that.
00:37:27.416 --> 00:37:29.418
And let's spend a little time kind of
00:37:29.478 --> 00:37:31.139
diving into that scenario.
00:37:31.818 --> 00:37:35.101
So from a marketing standpoint,
00:37:35.141 --> 00:37:38.322
from a new patient relating it to physical
00:37:38.342 --> 00:37:41.344
therapy standpoint, you as the consumer,
00:37:41.505 --> 00:37:42.365
I'm in the same boat.
00:37:43.346 --> 00:37:45.268
We had a washing machine and a dryer.
00:37:47.030 --> 00:37:48.592
Something was malfunctioning on the
00:37:48.612 --> 00:37:49.313
washing machine.
00:37:49.932 --> 00:37:52.135
And I went through the same thought
00:37:52.155 --> 00:37:53.117
process as you.
00:37:53.137 --> 00:37:53.797
I'm like, all right,
00:37:53.838 --> 00:37:55.518
if I call a repair person,
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:57.161
is it even worth it?
00:37:57.221 --> 00:37:59.543
By the time the repair person comes,
00:37:59.864 --> 00:38:01.385
There's the diagnostic fee,
00:38:01.485 --> 00:38:02.706
and then there's going to be the parts
00:38:02.746 --> 00:38:03.427
and the labor.
00:38:03.887 --> 00:38:05.768
If I'm going to be invested six hundred,
00:38:05.829 --> 00:38:06.668
seven hundred dollars,
00:38:06.708 --> 00:38:08.630
how much is a new washer and dryer?
00:38:09.070 --> 00:38:10.692
This one's already, I don't know,
00:38:10.731 --> 00:38:11.733
twelve years old.
00:38:11.813 --> 00:38:13.653
What's the life expectancy of a typical
00:38:13.693 --> 00:38:14.655
washer and dryer?
00:38:15.635 --> 00:38:15.896
You know,
00:38:15.936 --> 00:38:17.677
if another three hundred dollars,
00:38:17.737 --> 00:38:19.057
I can get a new one and just
00:38:19.117 --> 00:38:21.119
replace the existing one.
00:38:22.438 --> 00:38:24.081
That is kind of, in my opinion,
00:38:24.141 --> 00:38:26.364
the same thing the typical physical
00:38:26.385 --> 00:38:28.889
therapy consumer goes through when they're
00:38:28.929 --> 00:38:30.072
sitting there and they're like,
00:38:30.893 --> 00:38:31.916
I've got this shoulder pain.
00:38:34.186 --> 00:38:36.088
What is physical therapy going to do?
00:38:36.307 --> 00:38:37.807
I don't even know what physical therapy
00:38:37.867 --> 00:38:38.188
does.
00:38:38.248 --> 00:38:39.268
I don't know who I'm going to see.
00:38:39.289 --> 00:38:40.268
Are they going to massage it?
00:38:40.309 --> 00:38:41.650
Are they going to exercise it?
00:38:42.130 --> 00:38:43.311
Is it going to cost me?
00:38:44.351 --> 00:38:45.612
What is it going to cost?
00:38:46.092 --> 00:38:47.793
And then if I invest that money,
00:38:47.853 --> 00:38:49.393
do I have to do more visits?
00:38:49.452 --> 00:38:50.673
Is it going to cost me more?
00:38:50.713 --> 00:38:51.813
Are they going to try and sell me
00:38:51.853 --> 00:38:53.235
on a twelve visit package?
00:38:54.503 --> 00:38:59.264
I wonder, in the product repair world,
00:38:59.523 --> 00:39:01.864
I have somebody that I know who's a
00:39:01.905 --> 00:39:02.224
plumber.
00:39:02.764 --> 00:39:04.226
They have a huge plumbing business.
00:39:04.246 --> 00:39:06.666
They do more than ten million a year
00:39:06.706 --> 00:39:07.326
in revenue.
00:39:07.905 --> 00:39:09.007
And I'm like, guys,
00:39:09.186 --> 00:39:11.887
why don't you just set up the ability
00:39:11.927 --> 00:39:13.188
for one of your plumbers
00:39:13.967 --> 00:39:18.032
to Zoom in, like literally Zoom, FaceTime,
00:39:18.172 --> 00:39:18.733
video.
00:39:18.853 --> 00:39:20.074
I think we talked about this a long
00:39:20.135 --> 00:39:20.614
time ago.
00:39:21.335 --> 00:39:23.077
Like, let me pay a fee,
00:39:23.338 --> 00:39:24.298
seventy nine dollars.
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.623
Your technician guy can be at their own
00:39:27.663 --> 00:39:27.943
home.
00:39:29.376 --> 00:39:30.335
I'll get my phone,
00:39:30.456 --> 00:39:31.936
I'll go to my washing machine,
00:39:32.056 --> 00:39:33.777
I'll show him what I'm doing,
00:39:33.836 --> 00:39:34.697
what I'm looking at,
00:39:34.717 --> 00:39:36.438
or I'll go to my sink or whatever.
00:39:37.038 --> 00:39:39.159
And like, maybe it's a simple fix.
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:40.719
Maybe your guy is gonna be like, oh,
00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:41.900
you just need this gasket,
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:42.880
go to Home Depot,
00:39:42.940 --> 00:39:44.360
buy this specific product,
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:45.920
unscrew that bolt,
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:48.442
and it'll be fixed for twenty bucks.
00:39:49.061 --> 00:39:49.302
Right.
00:39:49.382 --> 00:39:50.782
They get the fee.
00:39:51.083 --> 00:39:52.983
They never have to leave their home or
00:39:53.003 --> 00:39:54.643
the office because he was saying we have
00:39:54.684 --> 00:39:55.903
to have people on call.
00:39:56.403 --> 00:39:58.405
I have to pay my plumbers to be
00:39:58.445 --> 00:40:00.065
available twenty four hours a day,
00:40:00.126 --> 00:40:01.106
seven days a week.
00:40:02.206 --> 00:40:04.007
The plumbers, he said, would love it.
00:40:04.746 --> 00:40:06.108
They never rolled this out,
00:40:06.148 --> 00:40:08.568
but I'm just saying this goes back to
00:40:08.588 --> 00:40:10.349
the concept we talked about,
00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:13.210
low barrier to entry.
00:40:13.391 --> 00:40:16.612
Somebody has a nine-year-old kid on the
00:40:16.652 --> 00:40:18.994
soccer field at nine thirty at night.
00:40:19.653 --> 00:40:20.954
Kid sprains an ankle.
00:40:21.394 --> 00:40:21.855
They don't know,
00:40:21.894 --> 00:40:23.036
do I go to urgent care?
00:40:23.076 --> 00:40:24.615
Do I go to the emergency room?
00:40:24.677 --> 00:40:26.356
What are the odds that something is
00:40:26.416 --> 00:40:27.057
fractured?
00:40:27.637 --> 00:40:30.378
They pull a therapist up, FaceTime.
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:32.699
You go through your questions,
00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:33.820
you go through all of that.
00:40:34.675 --> 00:40:37.018
And then the thing with that interaction,
00:40:37.798 --> 00:40:39.360
you get paid for the interaction.
00:40:40.121 --> 00:40:44.224
The client saves time, money, hassle,
00:40:44.284 --> 00:40:46.106
fear, anxiety, all of that stuff.
00:40:46.907 --> 00:40:49.108
But now you just recorded a video of
00:40:49.168 --> 00:40:52.130
a real world interaction that is going to
00:40:52.150 --> 00:40:55.034
be the same exact interaction hundreds or
00:40:55.074 --> 00:40:57.416
thousands of other people in the future
00:40:57.456 --> 00:40:58.516
are going to go through.
00:40:59.181 --> 00:41:01.125
And so why do I need to have
00:41:01.144 --> 00:41:04.068
a human diagnose the same problem every
00:41:04.110 --> 00:41:07.213
single time as opposed to just letting the
00:41:07.253 --> 00:41:10.157
consumer buy access to that video
00:41:10.259 --> 00:41:10.858
interaction
00:41:12.585 --> 00:41:13.865
It works for physical therapy.
00:41:13.885 --> 00:41:14.746
It works for plumbing.
00:41:15.266 --> 00:41:15.567
You know,
00:41:15.606 --> 00:41:17.288
when I go to YouTube and I'm like,
00:41:17.307 --> 00:41:17.588
hey,
00:41:17.668 --> 00:41:20.088
this is the code that my washing machine
00:41:20.128 --> 00:41:20.768
is showing me.
00:41:20.869 --> 00:41:23.989
YouTube has a series of videos that allows
00:41:24.050 --> 00:41:27.010
me for free to see maybe that's the
00:41:27.050 --> 00:41:27.431
problem.
00:41:27.490 --> 00:41:29.090
And how did they solve that problem?
00:41:29.590 --> 00:41:30.871
You just take it a couple of steps
00:41:30.911 --> 00:41:31.731
down the line.
00:41:32.211 --> 00:41:33.693
I think physical therapists should be
00:41:33.753 --> 00:41:34.273
doing this.
00:41:34.333 --> 00:41:37.494
I think every single evaluation should be
00:41:37.554 --> 00:41:38.293
documented.
00:41:39.134 --> 00:41:40.335
It should be shared.
00:41:41.516 --> 00:41:43.938
I think we would help on a public
00:41:43.958 --> 00:41:44.797
health basis,
00:41:45.498 --> 00:41:48.599
but then we would increase the
00:41:49.460 --> 00:41:50.920
understanding of the consumer.
00:41:50.940 --> 00:41:52.641
Well, what's physical therapy going to do?
00:41:53.061 --> 00:41:54.101
What can I expect?
00:41:54.422 --> 00:41:55.802
Is it worth the money that they want
00:41:55.822 --> 00:41:56.503
to charge?
00:41:56.862 --> 00:41:58.402
Because right now, it's a black box.
00:41:59.003 --> 00:42:01.583
The consumer has no idea walking into the
00:42:01.623 --> 00:42:03.485
scenario what's going to happen.
00:42:04.184 --> 00:42:05.726
And we're trying to sell,
00:42:05.806 --> 00:42:07.947
whether it's insurance or private pay.
00:42:08.686 --> 00:42:10.527
Something that nobody even knows what
00:42:10.547 --> 00:42:14.449
they're buying until they get I Love it.
00:42:14.989 --> 00:42:18.469
I've even been considering Us charging
00:42:18.610 --> 00:42:23.331
more for private Visits like meaning the
00:42:23.391 --> 00:42:24.931
traditional way of like it's just the
00:42:24.952 --> 00:42:26.472
therapist and the patient regardless of
00:42:26.492 --> 00:42:28.413
whether it's the home visit or the office
00:42:28.432 --> 00:42:31.193
visit and then having it almost like forty
00:42:31.213 --> 00:42:32.514
or fifty percent cheaper than
00:42:33.271 --> 00:42:36.733
if they consent to every single visit is
00:42:36.853 --> 00:42:37.353
recorded,
00:42:37.393 --> 00:42:39.036
like whether it's clips and the therapist
00:42:39.056 --> 00:42:40.556
is kind of like, you know,
00:42:40.597 --> 00:42:43.159
doing the video or if I'm there and
00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:44.940
I'm recording clips kind of like the whole
00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:45.280
time.
00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:46.380
So that way,
00:42:46.402 --> 00:42:47.922
like we wouldn't even have to ask like,
00:42:47.943 --> 00:42:48.043
Hey,
00:42:48.063 --> 00:42:49.204
is it cool if we do some video,
00:42:49.224 --> 00:42:49.884
whatever, like there,
00:42:50.204 --> 00:42:51.826
it would be choosing like the completely
00:42:51.905 --> 00:42:53.847
private traditional option,
00:42:53.867 --> 00:42:55.869
which is like the physical therapist is
00:42:55.889 --> 00:42:56.268
there.
00:42:56.489 --> 00:42:59.172
And especially a home visit, like it just,
00:42:59.211 --> 00:43:00.652
the therapist and the patient, which,
00:43:01.657 --> 00:43:01.978
Obviously,
00:43:02.038 --> 00:43:03.518
some of my patients will still want and
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.641
they will probably pay higher to not have
00:43:06.661 --> 00:43:08.422
it recorded like they want that much
00:43:08.481 --> 00:43:10.003
discretion and privacy and
00:43:10.043 --> 00:43:10.784
confidentiality.
00:43:11.603 --> 00:43:12.085
And that's fine.
00:43:12.405 --> 00:43:14.646
But then we want video assets.
00:43:14.726 --> 00:43:14.987
Right.
00:43:15.347 --> 00:43:15.947
And I'm really,
00:43:16.007 --> 00:43:17.969
really trying and pushing hard for it
00:43:17.989 --> 00:43:18.329
right now.
00:43:18.449 --> 00:43:18.608
So
00:43:20.429 --> 00:43:23.632
Then the patient is incentivized to then
00:43:23.753 --> 00:43:24.574
pay less.
00:43:25.514 --> 00:43:27.117
They get to benefit by paying less.
00:43:27.876 --> 00:43:29.079
If they're like, ah, yeah, whatever.
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:30.099
Like, yeah, of course you can.
00:43:30.539 --> 00:43:31.621
Yeah, you can record it, whatever.
00:43:31.641 --> 00:43:32.202
Like, no problem.
00:43:32.561 --> 00:43:34.664
So then we still get income,
00:43:34.704 --> 00:43:37.186
maybe not the full amount of the private
00:43:37.226 --> 00:43:39.469
experience, but we still get some revenue,
00:43:40.510 --> 00:43:42.711
still cover our overhead and everything.
00:43:44.554 --> 00:43:46.454
and capture video assets,
00:43:46.494 --> 00:43:49.876
then easily I could have the patient or
00:43:49.896 --> 00:43:52.478
client wearing a lapel mic and the
00:43:52.518 --> 00:43:53.898
therapist wearing the other lapel mic.
00:43:53.938 --> 00:43:55.539
Then I can capture all the audio
00:43:55.938 --> 00:43:56.599
regardless of,
00:43:57.923 --> 00:43:59.244
where they are in the clinic or whatever,
00:43:59.985 --> 00:44:03.128
and kind of getting my camera, my phone,
00:44:03.148 --> 00:44:03.708
if I'm there,
00:44:03.809 --> 00:44:05.550
in the patient's kind of face and in
00:44:05.570 --> 00:44:05.931
their way.
00:44:06.010 --> 00:44:09.114
And they'll be so comfortable doing it.
00:44:09.454 --> 00:44:10.715
They'll be so comfortable with me being in
00:44:10.735 --> 00:44:11.456
their space, whatever,
00:44:11.496 --> 00:44:14.458
because they already chose the lower cost
00:44:14.518 --> 00:44:17.461
option that includes the video recording.
00:44:18.081 --> 00:44:19.083
And if that was an issue,
00:44:19.123 --> 00:44:20.485
then they would have chose the
00:44:21.789 --> 00:44:24.990
higher option cost to not have it recorded
00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:25.351
at all.
00:44:25.411 --> 00:44:27.413
And then we'll know very clearly like
00:44:27.612 --> 00:44:28.893
who's okay with it and who's not.
00:44:29.434 --> 00:44:31.655
And whatever they pay kind of goes with
00:44:32.637 --> 00:44:33.338
those options.
00:44:34.478 --> 00:44:35.840
It makes total sense.
00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:38.380
I know it's really small on the screen.
00:44:39.222 --> 00:44:39.382
Um,
00:44:39.902 --> 00:44:43.204
but just the reason why the consumer is
00:44:43.244 --> 00:44:47.068
paying a higher rate not to record is
00:44:47.108 --> 00:44:50.030
because not recording costs you the
00:44:50.070 --> 00:44:51.150
producer money.
00:44:52.233 --> 00:44:54.494
And on the screen, you know,
00:44:54.914 --> 00:44:56.594
I can't necessarily zoom in,
00:44:56.635 --> 00:44:57.894
but I'll run through some numbers.
00:44:58.695 --> 00:45:00.074
This eleven minute,
00:45:00.135 --> 00:45:02.976
forty three second video of me answering a
00:45:03.036 --> 00:45:06.335
question, why your knee won't bend,
00:45:06.536 --> 00:45:07.996
why your knee won't bend after a knee
00:45:08.036 --> 00:45:08.617
replacement.
00:45:09.617 --> 00:45:12.978
It was recorded and published February
00:45:12.998 --> 00:45:14.818
twenty eight, two thousand twenty three.
00:45:15.117 --> 00:45:16.257
So not even that long ago,
00:45:16.398 --> 00:45:17.018
three years ago,
00:45:17.038 --> 00:45:18.157
a little over three years ago.
00:45:18.898 --> 00:45:20.759
It's generated two thousand five hundred
00:45:20.778 --> 00:45:21.119
dollars.
00:45:22.253 --> 00:45:24.438
It was a single recording, no editing,
00:45:24.498 --> 00:45:26.545
just me answering a typical question that
00:45:26.565 --> 00:45:28.791
a patient would ask me during a patient
00:45:28.831 --> 00:45:29.311
engagement.
00:45:30.387 --> 00:45:30.927
Ten minutes,
00:45:31.166 --> 00:45:32.748
two thousand five hundred dollars.
00:45:33.347 --> 00:45:35.048
This one talking about the timeline for
00:45:35.088 --> 00:45:36.648
recovery after knee replacement,
00:45:36.748 --> 00:45:37.329
eight minutes,
00:45:37.809 --> 00:45:39.349
two thousand five hundred dollars.
00:45:40.170 --> 00:45:42.110
Talking about sleeping positions after
00:45:42.231 --> 00:45:43.231
knee replacement,
00:45:43.311 --> 00:45:44.692
twenty one hundred dollars.
00:45:45.391 --> 00:45:46.751
Showing a patient,
00:45:46.791 --> 00:45:48.813
like recording me with a patient getting
00:45:48.853 --> 00:45:50.594
off the floor using a lift chair,
00:45:50.634 --> 00:45:51.793
two thousand dollars.
00:45:52.474 --> 00:45:52.713
You know,
00:45:53.114 --> 00:45:57.695
multiple examples of the instance in time
00:45:58.702 --> 00:46:00.023
that was recorded,
00:46:00.963 --> 00:46:02.085
I didn't do anything different,
00:46:02.144 --> 00:46:03.445
I didn't do anything special,
00:46:04.045 --> 00:46:07.007
that continues to generate a return on
00:46:07.047 --> 00:46:07.987
that investment.
00:46:08.708 --> 00:46:11.909
So if somebody wanted to buy that hour
00:46:11.969 --> 00:46:13.809
of my life and tell me I am
00:46:13.909 --> 00:46:16.452
not allowed to monetize it in any other
00:46:16.512 --> 00:46:16.711
way,
00:46:17.813 --> 00:46:20.594
potentially they should be paying for the
00:46:20.735 --> 00:46:24.057
right to take that time and that money
00:46:24.097 --> 00:46:26.699
away from me you know that that it's
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:30.483
a basic trade basic value exchange there
00:46:31.302 --> 00:46:34.585
um and i just i i keep saying
00:46:34.706 --> 00:46:37.527
it i don't understand why more people more
00:46:37.568 --> 00:46:40.590
therapists either aren't doing it or don't
00:46:40.670 --> 00:46:42.771
see it that way um
00:46:43.735 --> 00:46:44.235
And then of course,
00:46:44.257 --> 00:46:46.362
that's not even talking about turning
00:46:46.382 --> 00:46:48.387
these into digital assets that you can
00:46:48.447 --> 00:46:48.748
sell.
00:46:49.090 --> 00:46:50.974
That's just monetized with YouTube ads.
00:46:51.724 --> 00:46:54.125
You know, you take an evaluation,
00:46:54.224 --> 00:46:56.766
your typical evaluation for low back pain,
00:46:57.686 --> 00:47:00.467
and somebody who doesn't have time to go
00:47:00.487 --> 00:47:02.648
get an evaluation for low back pain but
00:47:02.728 --> 00:47:05.530
reads the description that says, oh man,
00:47:05.990 --> 00:47:07.811
that sounds exactly like what I'm dealing
00:47:07.851 --> 00:47:08.032
with.
00:47:08.612 --> 00:47:11.032
I have pain when I'm standing upright,
00:47:11.273 --> 00:47:12.974
but I can push a grocery cart for
00:47:13.034 --> 00:47:13.735
forty minutes.
00:47:13.855 --> 00:47:15.695
I can't stand unsupported for five
00:47:15.735 --> 00:47:16.016
minutes.
00:47:17.076 --> 00:47:18.436
I'm dragging my feet.
00:47:19.496 --> 00:47:21.217
I don't stand up tall.
00:47:21.297 --> 00:47:22.557
It hurts me to extend.
00:47:22.637 --> 00:47:24.577
It feels better when I flex."
00:47:24.597 --> 00:47:29.159
You can describe spinal stenosis to a T
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:30.800
right out of the textbook,
00:47:31.699 --> 00:47:33.601
and somebody reads that description and is
00:47:33.621 --> 00:47:33.760
like,
00:47:34.061 --> 00:47:35.900
that is exactly what I'm dealing with.
00:47:36.041 --> 00:47:39.101
I want to see how a therapist evaluates
00:47:39.141 --> 00:47:41.063
and creates a plan of care for that
00:47:41.083 --> 00:47:41.523
condition.
00:47:42.827 --> 00:47:43.867
That's huge value.
00:47:44.148 --> 00:47:45.389
Somebody, absolutely.
00:47:45.449 --> 00:47:47.952
Plenty of people would buy that because
00:47:47.972 --> 00:47:49.715
they don't have time to see a therapist.
00:47:49.735 --> 00:47:51.096
They don't want Dave to come out to
00:47:51.117 --> 00:47:51.677
their house.
00:47:51.697 --> 00:47:54.300
They don't want to do the stuff that,
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:58.405
you know, you would typically have to do.
00:47:58.465 --> 00:47:59.846
So how would someone,
00:47:59.907 --> 00:48:01.208
you're saying put this behind a paywall?
00:48:01.648 --> 00:48:02.809
How would someone do this easily?
00:48:04.606 --> 00:48:06.626
The easiest way to do it, truthfully,
00:48:06.686 --> 00:48:09.369
is you start building your social media
00:48:09.409 --> 00:48:09.829
presence.
00:48:09.849 --> 00:48:12.112
You start sharing the videos,
00:48:12.512 --> 00:48:15.153
clips that show bits and pieces of it
00:48:15.215 --> 00:48:16.755
just to kind of pique attention.
00:48:17.996 --> 00:48:19.858
Then you put a call to action out
00:48:19.898 --> 00:48:20.239
there.
00:48:20.318 --> 00:48:25.043
Hey, comment stenosis, comment back pain,
00:48:25.083 --> 00:48:25.882
comment whatever.
00:48:26.824 --> 00:48:27.664
They comment,
00:48:28.166 --> 00:48:32.471
you send them the like little introduction
00:48:32.630 --> 00:48:34.353
of these are the symptoms commonly
00:48:34.373 --> 00:48:35.833
associated with this condition.
00:48:36.996 --> 00:48:39.097
If you need more information, you know,
00:48:39.117 --> 00:48:40.579
like that's the free guide.
00:48:40.820 --> 00:48:42.282
Take this, go to your doctor,
00:48:42.362 --> 00:48:44.603
talk to them about what you think you
00:48:44.643 --> 00:48:45.125
might have.
00:48:46.166 --> 00:48:48.389
If you want to see how I would
00:48:48.429 --> 00:48:51.313
treat this or evaluate this with a real
00:48:51.353 --> 00:48:54.237
patient dealing with these real symptoms,
00:48:54.958 --> 00:48:56.760
this is the video, you know,
00:48:57.001 --> 00:48:59.083
ninety nine dollars or fifty nine dollars
00:48:59.103 --> 00:49:00.045
or whatever it's going to be.
00:49:01.766 --> 00:49:04.289
They pay, you have an automation set up.
00:49:04.309 --> 00:49:05.869
So once the payment goes through,
00:49:06.590 --> 00:49:08.590
you just shoot them out an unlisted video
00:49:08.650 --> 00:49:08.871
link.
00:49:08.911 --> 00:49:10.452
If you don't want to pay for platforms
00:49:10.492 --> 00:49:11.592
and all the other stuff,
00:49:12.052 --> 00:49:15.014
like unlisted YouTube video link of that,
00:49:15.335 --> 00:49:16.715
who cares if they share it?
00:49:16.815 --> 00:49:18.436
Who cares what they do with it?
00:49:19.237 --> 00:49:21.378
There's going to be enough unique people.
00:49:22.512 --> 00:49:24.992
that are gonna buy that information just
00:49:25.032 --> 00:49:27.474
to get that fly on the wall perspective.
00:49:28.074 --> 00:49:29.014
You're not treating them.
00:49:29.434 --> 00:49:31.574
You're not telling them what to do.
00:49:32.114 --> 00:49:35.016
You are letting them see in a safe
00:49:35.076 --> 00:49:38.056
environment what a therapist does with
00:49:38.097 --> 00:49:39.838
someone else who's dealing with the same
00:49:39.878 --> 00:49:43.219
symptoms.
00:49:43.259 --> 00:49:43.699
I love it.
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:46.000
Can I just make a comment back on
00:49:46.019 --> 00:49:48.420
that Marvel gym that you posted the
00:49:48.460 --> 00:49:50.621
screenshot or the video?
00:49:51.391 --> 00:49:56.076
um as we wrap up so i was
00:49:56.096 --> 00:49:57.396
thinking about it and i think it's a
00:49:57.436 --> 00:50:02.201
horrible idea why because again now here's
00:50:02.221 --> 00:50:05.523
the thing the the the owner the the
00:50:05.543 --> 00:50:09.327
founder of this could have more intel than
00:50:09.427 --> 00:50:12.409
i do and he's probably thinking well he
00:50:12.829 --> 00:50:13.731
he has to be thinking
00:50:14.509 --> 00:50:16.269
I'm hoping because that looks like a lot
00:50:16.289 --> 00:50:16.650
of money.
00:50:17.150 --> 00:50:18.030
Yeah, that looks like a lot.
00:50:18.150 --> 00:50:19.231
It looks like a lot of money.
00:50:19.391 --> 00:50:20.391
And I could be risky.
00:50:20.411 --> 00:50:21.592
The reason what I'm saying is,
00:50:21.972 --> 00:50:22.733
does that guy?
00:50:22.753 --> 00:50:25.994
Does that guy know that in hit?
00:50:26.014 --> 00:50:27.016
This was where California?
00:50:27.155 --> 00:50:28.356
Do you remember the state?
00:50:28.436 --> 00:50:28.856
Does it matter?
00:50:28.876 --> 00:50:33.559
I thought it was New York.
00:50:33.579 --> 00:50:35.420
This guy better know that.
00:50:37.699 --> 00:50:41.181
there are a ton of fans of marvel
00:50:41.422 --> 00:50:44.144
nearby because if not it'll it'll be a
00:50:44.164 --> 00:50:48.289
failure because people who don't want or
00:50:48.329 --> 00:50:51.172
don't care about marvel will have no
00:50:51.211 --> 00:50:54.014
incentive to go pay to be a member
00:50:54.054 --> 00:50:56.896
there so i hope he has intel that
00:50:56.916 --> 00:50:58.518
there's like some crazy amount i don't
00:50:58.539 --> 00:50:59.539
know maybe there's like um
00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:02.451
there's groups nearby that they go and see
00:51:02.490 --> 00:51:03.592
Marvel movies together,
00:51:03.692 --> 00:51:04.773
like almost like run clubs,
00:51:04.813 --> 00:51:06.833
but it's like Marvel movie clubs and they,
00:51:07.193 --> 00:51:09.456
they do Marvel movie showings and,
00:51:09.596 --> 00:51:11.976
and they attract dozens or hundreds of
00:51:12.016 --> 00:51:15.059
people or something, or he's, he must,
00:51:15.358 --> 00:51:16.639
I hope he's got some,
00:51:18.088 --> 00:51:19.190
better understanding than I do.
00:51:19.269 --> 00:51:20.391
Cause I'm just making an assumption.
00:51:20.811 --> 00:51:21.132
I think it's,
00:51:21.411 --> 00:51:22.952
I think it's actually a horrible idea
00:51:23.253 --> 00:51:25.014
because imagine nearby there's,
00:51:25.335 --> 00:51:27.637
there's a crunch or there's planet fitness
00:51:27.697 --> 00:51:29.679
and there's lifetime and there's all these
00:51:29.699 --> 00:51:31.360
gyms nearby, wherever this guy's located.
00:51:32.001 --> 00:51:34.302
And there might even be Marvel fans at
00:51:34.322 --> 00:51:34.983
those gyms.
00:51:35.023 --> 00:51:35.362
Tony,
00:51:36.204 --> 00:51:38.405
this guy would have to hopefully influence
00:51:38.445 --> 00:51:40.748
those people to leave those gyms to go
00:51:40.768 --> 00:51:43.070
to his gym or, and, or,
00:51:44.277 --> 00:51:45.838
attract people who currently are not
00:51:45.958 --> 00:51:48.298
already going to a gym and want to
00:51:48.378 --> 00:51:49.338
pick and choose like this.
00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:51.059
Where should I go work out?
00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:53.260
Most people are going to pick like I
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:54.480
work out at home, home gym,
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:56.320
or what else?
00:51:56.360 --> 00:51:58.960
People pick a local gym based off of
00:51:59.021 --> 00:52:02.481
price or location, maybe the aesthetics.
00:52:03.041 --> 00:52:05.262
You better hope they're picking for your
00:52:05.302 --> 00:52:06.181
Marvel aesthetics.
00:52:06.422 --> 00:52:08.521
But now you have to be charging way
00:52:08.561 --> 00:52:09.382
more because you're probably going to
00:52:09.402 --> 00:52:10.181
attract less people.
00:52:10.922 --> 00:52:13.583
So it's like, I just think that
00:52:14.695 --> 00:52:14.876
I mean,
00:52:15.115 --> 00:52:16.376
this guy probably knows more than I do
00:52:16.456 --> 00:52:19.539
about his ideal client customer avatar
00:52:19.579 --> 00:52:20.780
that is obsessed with Marvel.
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:22.581
And so I would be curious.
00:52:22.661 --> 00:52:24.663
I think my gut tells me this is
00:52:24.722 --> 00:52:25.523
a terrible idea.
00:52:26.545 --> 00:52:26.844
I mean,
00:52:26.885 --> 00:52:28.646
it's like making my clinic in New York
00:52:28.686 --> 00:52:31.608
City like a Philadelphia Eagles physical
00:52:31.648 --> 00:52:33.050
therapy clinic, right?
00:52:33.090 --> 00:52:35.570
So I will attract some Eagle fans that
00:52:35.590 --> 00:52:37.253
are going to be like raving fans that
00:52:37.273 --> 00:52:38.313
are going to want to come to my
00:52:38.472 --> 00:52:40.175
Philadelphia Eagles physical therapy
00:52:40.215 --> 00:52:40.474
clinic.
00:52:41.072 --> 00:52:42.972
but it also could turn off a lot
00:52:42.992 --> 00:52:45.932
of other people that just don't want that
00:52:45.952 --> 00:52:46.733
type of an aesthetic.
00:52:46.773 --> 00:52:47.934
They don't care about a Philadelphia
00:52:48.014 --> 00:52:49.934
Eagles physical therapy clinic.
00:52:49.974 --> 00:52:50.153
Right.
00:52:50.193 --> 00:52:52.514
So like in Philly, it would do well,
00:52:52.614 --> 00:52:54.795
maybe, but in New York,
00:52:54.894 --> 00:52:56.755
that same clinic will probably not do as
00:52:56.795 --> 00:52:57.034
well.
00:52:57.115 --> 00:52:57.396
So like,
00:52:57.476 --> 00:53:00.036
why would I redesign it differently at the
00:53:00.056 --> 00:53:00.516
same time?
00:53:00.615 --> 00:53:01.255
I hope, like I said,
00:53:01.456 --> 00:53:02.737
I hope this guy knows more than me
00:53:03.117 --> 00:53:04.777
because maybe he's doing like a Savannah
00:53:04.797 --> 00:53:05.197
bananas.
00:53:05.217 --> 00:53:07.297
He's doing something like so remarkable,
00:53:07.378 --> 00:53:08.538
different off the wall and,
00:53:09.289 --> 00:53:11.110
like maybe he'll attract people that are
00:53:11.130 --> 00:53:11.389
like,
00:53:12.369 --> 00:53:14.050
like one and two and three degrees away
00:53:14.090 --> 00:53:15.130
from Marvel, right?
00:53:15.170 --> 00:53:17.831
Like the DC comic fans and comic book
00:53:17.871 --> 00:53:18.492
fans.
00:53:18.592 --> 00:53:21.072
And I don't know, star Trekkie fan,
00:53:21.092 --> 00:53:22.253
I don't know, all that type of stuff.
00:53:22.293 --> 00:53:23.313
Like maybe, maybe.
00:53:23.773 --> 00:53:26.733
So I would be curious if we're still
00:53:26.753 --> 00:53:28.195
doing the show in a couple of years
00:53:28.815 --> 00:53:30.735
and we look back and we pull up
00:53:30.755 --> 00:53:32.396
this guy's business.
00:53:32.896 --> 00:53:34.777
Is he still in business in two or
00:53:34.817 --> 00:53:36.016
three or four years from now?
00:53:36.905 --> 00:53:38.847
If you had to, if I had to,
00:53:38.947 --> 00:53:39.628
if I had to say it,
00:53:39.688 --> 00:53:41.130
I would say no,
00:53:41.630 --> 00:53:45.355
but he could also be like crazy growing
00:53:45.655 --> 00:53:48.257
with like multiple Marvel gyms in four
00:53:48.297 --> 00:53:48.737
years from now.
00:53:48.858 --> 00:53:49.978
So I could be wrong.
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:50.360
I don't know.
00:53:51.052 --> 00:53:52.974
And this will be the parting shot.
00:53:53.054 --> 00:53:55.476
I think the reality is he's going to
00:53:55.516 --> 00:53:56.478
lose tons of money.
00:53:56.878 --> 00:53:58.679
He would have invested this money in
00:53:58.739 --> 00:54:01.222
building this gym regardless of ever
00:54:01.322 --> 00:54:02.182
monetizing it.
00:54:02.864 --> 00:54:05.907
I think he's hoping that it's crazy enough
00:54:05.947 --> 00:54:07.949
that he can build his Instagram channel
00:54:08.048 --> 00:54:09.911
just on the visual aesthetic.
00:54:10.751 --> 00:54:12.673
I wouldn't be surprised if he never trains
00:54:12.753 --> 00:54:15.175
a client, if he never sells a membership.
00:54:15.815 --> 00:54:17.697
But it's just like the dad who buys
00:54:17.737 --> 00:54:19.739
a boat, who goes out twice a year.
00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:21.541
It'd be better to rent the boat than
00:54:21.581 --> 00:54:22.240
to buy it.
00:54:22.862 --> 00:54:23.081
You know,
00:54:23.121 --> 00:54:25.623
there's plenty of us who waste boatloads
00:54:25.664 --> 00:54:28.045
of money on passion projects that never
00:54:28.085 --> 00:54:28.586
take off.
00:54:29.570 --> 00:54:32.052
The closest success I think he can have
00:54:33.012 --> 00:54:36.974
is just on social media and monetizing it
00:54:37.034 --> 00:54:39.253
with that, brand deals and things.
00:54:39.273 --> 00:54:40.934
Because even if he tried to grow it,
00:54:41.514 --> 00:54:42.614
you can't license.
00:54:43.396 --> 00:54:45.335
I don't know how the licensing would work
00:54:45.396 --> 00:54:49.077
for all of that branding on something that
00:54:49.097 --> 00:54:50.557
he's selling memberships to.
00:54:50.577 --> 00:54:51.617
I don't know.
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:53.978
That's beyond my knowledge base.
00:54:53.998 --> 00:54:58.601
So parting shot, I would just say,
00:54:59.561 --> 00:55:02.664
We all lose money intentionally,
00:55:03.045 --> 00:55:06.007
voluntarily on the stuff that we're
00:55:06.047 --> 00:55:06.847
passionate about.
00:55:07.007 --> 00:55:09.210
I think that's a money losing proposition
00:55:09.251 --> 00:55:09.570
for him,
00:55:09.610 --> 00:55:11.572
but it's worth looking at on social media.
00:55:12.853 --> 00:55:14.434
For the rest of us who need to
00:55:14.556 --> 00:55:16.396
actually support a family,
00:55:16.476 --> 00:55:17.557
put money in the bank,
00:55:18.278 --> 00:55:19.539
save for retirement,
00:55:20.300 --> 00:55:21.762
I think like we said today,
00:55:21.943 --> 00:55:23.925
is physical therapy still worth it?
00:55:24.969 --> 00:55:27.612
one million percent as long as you're not
00:55:27.672 --> 00:55:30.293
delusional and think we live in two
00:55:30.333 --> 00:55:33.155
thousand two thousand one two thousand two
00:55:33.215 --> 00:55:35.416
time frame as long as you realize we
00:55:35.456 --> 00:55:38.159
live in two thousand twenty six you need
00:55:38.179 --> 00:55:39.840
to come into the profession with the
00:55:39.900 --> 00:55:42.601
expectation that what worked twenty years
00:55:42.641 --> 00:55:45.403
ago will not work today yes it's still
00:55:45.443 --> 00:55:47.184
worth it what's your parting shot
00:55:49.577 --> 00:55:50.157
Parting shot,
00:55:50.177 --> 00:55:52.760
I'll go with this Marvel comic gym.
00:55:53.300 --> 00:55:55.081
So this guy, Brandon, on Instagram,
00:55:56.342 --> 00:55:57.344
his account says,
00:55:57.523 --> 00:56:01.827
I design themed home gyms and licensed
00:56:02.068 --> 00:56:03.208
character kettlebells.
00:56:03.670 --> 00:56:04.309
So there you go.
00:56:04.369 --> 00:56:05.771
He made this to sell that stuff.
00:56:06.311 --> 00:56:07.873
He's not making it to attract paying
00:56:07.893 --> 00:56:08.313
members.
00:56:08.653 --> 00:56:09.635
So I apologize.
00:56:09.974 --> 00:56:11.275
I didn't understand the full story.
00:56:11.817 --> 00:56:13.177
He's doing this on social media,
00:56:13.197 --> 00:56:13.717
like you said,
00:56:14.818 --> 00:56:16.541
to get in front of people that have...
00:56:17.547 --> 00:56:17.768
uh,
00:56:17.827 --> 00:56:20.010
discretionary money that want a crazy home
00:56:20.050 --> 00:56:20.789
gym like this.
00:56:20.829 --> 00:56:21.210
And they can,
00:56:21.751 --> 00:56:23.791
he'll use the Instagram and the visual and
00:56:23.811 --> 00:56:27.054
all that to show what's possible for crazy
00:56:27.114 --> 00:56:28.396
avid fans of whatever.
00:56:28.456 --> 00:56:28.775
And then,
00:56:29.536 --> 00:56:31.478
then he or his team or whatever would
00:56:31.518 --> 00:56:34.800
then do the, the themed home gyms.
00:56:35.657 --> 00:56:37.659
I'm fine with just like my unfinished
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:38.900
garage as my home gym.
00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:40.561
But you know, if you, if you got,
00:56:40.862 --> 00:56:42.083
I get, I hope I'm, I don't know.
00:56:42.443 --> 00:56:43.864
I'm, I'm sure I'll be, um,
00:56:44.384 --> 00:56:45.824
I'll be flushed with money at some point
00:56:45.844 --> 00:56:47.306
where I'm going to want some crazy themed
00:56:47.346 --> 00:56:48.766
home gym and maybe I'll come back and
00:56:48.827 --> 00:56:50.088
I'll, I'll pay this guy, Brandon.
00:56:50.469 --> 00:56:51.528
And then he can say that I was
00:56:51.568 --> 00:56:53.690
wrong when I talked about his business on,
00:56:53.710 --> 00:56:54.851
uh, on the show.
00:56:55.692 --> 00:56:57.092
