The Free MBA for Physical Therapists

The Free MBA for Physical Therapists

PTs talk about business education like it’s Bigfoot — everyone says it exists, nobody has actually seen it. So Jimmy McKay and David Fathalikhani decided to stop waiting for someone else to build it.


In this episode, they break down the creation of the first crowd-sourced, free MBA-style curriculum for physical therapists, launching January 1, 2026.


You’ll hear:

  • How one LinkedIn post attracted dozens of volunteer instructors
  • Why PTs struggle with business (fear, uncertainty, no roadmap)
  • How the year-long curriculum is structured (monthly themes + weekly micro-lessons)
  • Why finance, operations, leadership, culture, law, and real estate must be part of PT education
  • What PTs can finally learn that DPT programs never had time to teach
  • How the entire project stays free and open to the profession


Whether you’re launching a cash practice, growing a clinic, or just want to understand the business of healthcare, this is the foundation for everything that comes next.

00:00:17.521 --> 00:00:18.521
It looks legit.

00:00:18.582 --> 00:00:19.503
It looks catchy.

00:00:21.463 --> 00:00:22.786
Graphic designer on the side.

00:00:23.291 --> 00:00:24.292
It's Canva, man.

00:00:24.431 --> 00:00:24.571
I mean,

00:00:24.591 --> 00:00:26.092
it even makes me look like a genius.

00:00:26.713 --> 00:00:27.774
He's David Fath-Lacani.

00:00:27.814 --> 00:00:28.574
I'm Jimmy McKay.

00:00:28.774 --> 00:00:31.896
And we are talking about an idea that

00:00:32.277 --> 00:00:33.878
I know is going to shock many people,

00:00:34.277 --> 00:00:36.320
many fans of the show or the stream.

00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:38.680
Made it up as I was going along,

00:00:38.701 --> 00:00:39.442
and all of a sudden it was an

00:00:39.521 --> 00:00:39.862
idea.

00:00:39.962 --> 00:00:41.622
And that's where the best ideas come from.

00:00:41.923 --> 00:00:42.643
So real quick,

00:00:42.683 --> 00:00:44.284
because you've been on the show a few

00:00:44.304 --> 00:00:45.305
times, but people don't know,

00:00:45.326 --> 00:00:47.987
you are our chief business correspondent.

00:00:48.006 --> 00:00:49.027
Is that what we gave you, the title?

00:00:49.067 --> 00:00:49.527
I think I'll take that.

00:00:50.689 --> 00:00:52.911
PT podcast chief business correspondent.

00:00:54.491 --> 00:00:56.472
Our our relationship started twenty

00:00:56.552 --> 00:00:59.356
thirteen when you were eleven years old or

00:00:59.415 --> 00:00:59.695
something.

00:00:59.716 --> 00:00:59.956
I don't know.

00:00:59.975 --> 00:01:01.576
Maybe you're a little younger than me.

00:01:01.597 --> 00:01:03.158
When I started my journey as a second

00:01:03.198 --> 00:01:04.498
career PT and PT school,

00:01:04.539 --> 00:01:06.221
this was your first career.

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:07.501
You were a normal you were a normal

00:01:07.581 --> 00:01:07.781
age.

00:01:08.141 --> 00:01:09.843
You were still twenty one then.

00:01:09.882 --> 00:01:10.664
Were you twenty one?

00:01:10.944 --> 00:01:11.385
No, you were.

00:01:12.248 --> 00:01:12.888
I wasn't doing well.

00:01:12.909 --> 00:01:13.671
I was thirty one.

00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:14.712
You're still twenty one.

00:01:14.831 --> 00:01:15.534
I'm still twenty one.

00:01:15.554 --> 00:01:16.194
Yeah, I'm Peter Pan.

00:01:17.236 --> 00:01:18.397
But given the background, man,

00:01:18.438 --> 00:01:21.522
you're a second gen PT family business,

00:01:21.602 --> 00:01:23.165
but you have a twist with a different

00:01:23.206 --> 00:01:24.808
degree and you're a PT,

00:01:24.828 --> 00:01:26.552
but you're also weird in a good way.

00:01:27.031 --> 00:01:27.971
How do you how do you explain?

00:01:28.051 --> 00:01:29.152
I'll take weird in a good way.

00:01:29.171 --> 00:01:30.612
Yeah, I mean,

00:01:30.793 --> 00:01:32.093
I got stuck living with you for three

00:01:32.112 --> 00:01:33.334
years during school,

00:01:33.353 --> 00:01:34.293
so that was a good start.

00:01:35.575 --> 00:01:37.936
Yeah, I mean, I came into PT.

00:01:38.195 --> 00:01:39.617
Both my parents were PTs,

00:01:39.677 --> 00:01:41.296
so kind of grew up with it around

00:01:41.316 --> 00:01:42.197
the kitchen table.

00:01:42.337 --> 00:01:43.799
Dad was in private practice for twenty

00:01:43.838 --> 00:01:46.739
plus years with a variety of ortho clinics

00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:48.900
in the North Virginia area.

00:01:49.933 --> 00:01:50.914
And yeah, I mean,

00:01:50.933 --> 00:01:53.977
kind of got into it and, you know,

00:01:53.996 --> 00:01:55.698
fortunate to pick Marymount,

00:01:55.778 --> 00:01:57.760
fortunate to have you as a roommate.

00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.483
And, you know,

00:01:59.503 --> 00:02:01.103
it was it was a good experience.

00:02:01.164 --> 00:02:01.685
I came out,

00:02:01.825 --> 00:02:03.506
started the ortho sports space.

00:02:03.587 --> 00:02:05.948
I was athlete in college and I was

00:02:05.968 --> 00:02:06.629
like, OK, yeah,

00:02:06.709 --> 00:02:08.050
ortho everything all day long,

00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:08.891
every every day.

00:02:10.112 --> 00:02:12.195
And I really enjoyed the sports side of

00:02:12.235 --> 00:02:12.716
things.

00:02:12.776 --> 00:02:14.397
That was my first foray into private

00:02:14.437 --> 00:02:15.960
practice was in the sports performance

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.144
realm on the PT sports performance cash

00:02:19.163 --> 00:02:20.765
base clinic and kind of scaled that out

00:02:20.885 --> 00:02:24.090
into a training facility in Colorado after

00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:25.831
I graduated and moved out here.

00:02:25.912 --> 00:02:26.032
So.

00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:29.389
And then I ended up doing that for

00:02:29.409 --> 00:02:31.691
a few years and then pivoted into another

00:02:31.730 --> 00:02:33.871
opportunity that was a total one eighty,

00:02:33.911 --> 00:02:35.292
which was in the senior living side of

00:02:35.312 --> 00:02:35.632
things,

00:02:36.711 --> 00:02:38.913
which was just an opportunity that I saw.

00:02:39.112 --> 00:02:41.413
And I saw an opportunity that the market

00:02:41.533 --> 00:02:43.514
needed to become more efficient and how

00:02:43.895 --> 00:02:45.155
how care was being delivered.

00:02:45.514 --> 00:02:46.836
And that was largely because of COVID.

00:02:48.657 --> 00:02:49.318
And yeah,

00:02:49.338 --> 00:02:51.201
that kind of sprung up my next business,

00:02:51.322 --> 00:02:54.326
ended up scaling that out to a handful

00:02:54.366 --> 00:02:57.230
of sites across Northern Colorado,

00:02:57.270 --> 00:02:58.332
Boulder County area,

00:02:59.054 --> 00:03:00.575
partnerships with Senior Living and just

00:03:00.596 --> 00:03:02.419
kind of did the full spectrum of geriatric

00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:02.658
care.

00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.701
um you know and had you know very

00:03:05.722 --> 00:03:07.082
fortunate to have a great team of people

00:03:07.103 --> 00:03:08.383
to work with did that for a few

00:03:08.424 --> 00:03:10.846
years and then ended up uh selling and

00:03:10.885 --> 00:03:14.008
exiting that business um and then most

00:03:14.068 --> 00:03:16.750
recently i kind of dipped my toe into

00:03:16.770 --> 00:03:18.751
the health tech side of things doing some

00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:21.933
work there and kind of getting into this

00:03:22.294 --> 00:03:24.294
kind of consulting space now with my

00:03:24.536 --> 00:03:26.176
passion being primarily

00:03:26.704 --> 00:03:28.145
How do we improve our operations?

00:03:28.164 --> 00:03:29.325
How do we improve business?

00:03:30.486 --> 00:03:30.826
I just,

00:03:31.187 --> 00:03:32.647
I've always loved the opportunity to like,

00:03:32.888 --> 00:03:34.329
here's a hole in the market.

00:03:34.849 --> 00:03:35.710
How do we make things better?

00:03:35.950 --> 00:03:38.331
How do we make things run easier for

00:03:38.472 --> 00:03:39.212
our teams?

00:03:39.252 --> 00:03:41.114
And I think that's just such a important

00:03:41.174 --> 00:03:44.096
piece of, you know,

00:03:44.175 --> 00:03:46.057
what we need to get better at,

00:03:46.098 --> 00:03:47.299
you know, as a profession is like,

00:03:47.359 --> 00:03:49.780
how do we get better as a whole

00:03:50.061 --> 00:03:51.861
at saying what's going on around us and

00:03:51.882 --> 00:03:53.663
then having the skills and resources to go

00:03:53.883 --> 00:03:55.805
to do a good job and put ourselves

00:03:55.844 --> 00:03:56.104
out there.

00:03:56.544 --> 00:03:58.485
You skipped two things that I think are

00:03:58.586 --> 00:03:59.225
of importance.

00:03:59.566 --> 00:04:01.266
While you were doing your DPT,

00:04:01.526 --> 00:04:03.328
you were doing a different degree,

00:04:03.848 --> 00:04:05.127
which is which is, by the way,

00:04:05.669 --> 00:04:07.508
on the weekends, casual weekend trips.

00:04:07.688 --> 00:04:08.189
One does.

00:04:08.270 --> 00:04:09.710
You were flying back and forth from

00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:11.691
Virginia where we were in school.

00:04:12.614 --> 00:04:15.435
to the Ohio State University.

00:04:15.556 --> 00:04:16.815
Thank you for using the correct.

00:04:16.836 --> 00:04:19.538
Am I like a Buckeye fan?

00:04:20.398 --> 00:04:21.177
You're an honorary.

00:04:21.237 --> 00:04:21.778
Honorary Buckeye.

00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:23.519
Because I live with people enough.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:24.579
And I was like,

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.339
this is who we cheer for now.

00:04:26.141 --> 00:04:27.802
And so you were doing what degree?

00:04:28.822 --> 00:04:29.463
at the same time?

00:04:29.843 --> 00:04:31.483
I did a master's in public health

00:04:31.983 --> 00:04:34.944
concurrently with my DPT.

00:04:35.365 --> 00:04:39.105
I started at MPH when I was playing

00:04:39.125 --> 00:04:40.266
baseball at Ohio State,

00:04:40.666 --> 00:04:42.346
finished my undergrad degree,

00:04:42.586 --> 00:04:43.867
had another year to play after I

00:04:43.927 --> 00:04:47.389
redshirted, and just was like, well,

00:04:47.408 --> 00:04:48.468
I don't want to do another bachelor's

00:04:48.488 --> 00:04:48.788
degree,

00:04:49.048 --> 00:04:50.649
so let's try this public health thing.

00:04:51.509 --> 00:04:52.329
And honestly, it was great.

00:04:53.449 --> 00:04:55.550
It helped my vision of healthcare.

00:04:56.923 --> 00:04:58.365
get a little bit of a reframe before

00:04:58.384 --> 00:04:59.146
I even got into it.

00:04:59.266 --> 00:04:59.406
Like,

00:04:59.505 --> 00:05:01.466
how do you look at healthcare economics?

00:05:01.547 --> 00:05:03.387
How do you look at population-based care?

00:05:03.848 --> 00:05:06.810
I think that's a big thing.

00:05:07.089 --> 00:05:09.271
I'll take that.

00:05:09.651 --> 00:05:10.891
All is right in the world this week

00:05:10.971 --> 00:05:13.572
after writing that.

00:05:14.192 --> 00:05:14.874
I mean, I'm in New York,

00:05:14.913 --> 00:05:15.553
you're in Colorado.

00:05:16.053 --> 00:05:18.115
Sometimes when I do have the screen on

00:05:18.134 --> 00:05:19.375
in the back and there's an Ohio State

00:05:19.396 --> 00:05:20.937
game, I can almost hear you.

00:05:22.377 --> 00:05:22.817
Yeah.

00:05:22.838 --> 00:05:24.300
I'm still yelling at Coach Day.

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:25.240
Yeah.

00:05:25.281 --> 00:05:28.103
Like, why are we running football?

00:05:28.744 --> 00:05:30.425
The second thing I think you skipped over

00:05:30.505 --> 00:05:33.369
is what'd you do after you exited your

00:05:33.408 --> 00:05:34.149
home health company?

00:05:35.151 --> 00:05:37.774
I took some time off and I went

00:05:37.834 --> 00:05:38.454
to Nepal.

00:05:38.634 --> 00:05:40.637
I was fortunate to make two trips there.

00:05:40.697 --> 00:05:44.081
And on my second trip, I climbed Everest.

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:45.420
Which is,

00:05:46.661 --> 00:05:48.380
I'm Googling and understand it's some sort

00:05:48.401 --> 00:05:49.661
of like a hill or a mountain.

00:05:49.901 --> 00:05:52.603
It's a pointy, cold, snowy peak.

00:05:53.423 --> 00:05:55.343
And that's a different episode that we'll

00:05:55.363 --> 00:05:55.684
get into.

00:05:55.704 --> 00:05:57.384
But I wanted, I mean, I don't know,

00:05:57.404 --> 00:05:58.826
dude, if I climbed Everest,

00:05:58.886 --> 00:06:01.146
I might have tattooed that on my forehead.

00:06:01.487 --> 00:06:03.708
Ask me about how I climbed Everest just

00:06:03.747 --> 00:06:05.987
to make sure I could naturally bring that

00:06:06.028 --> 00:06:08.149
up in a conversation.

00:06:09.009 --> 00:06:10.110
It was an awesome experience.

00:06:10.149 --> 00:06:10.949
It had to be.

00:06:11.211 --> 00:06:11.750
It was cool.

00:06:12.130 --> 00:06:13.211
You know what I was thinking about this

00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:14.512
too is,

00:06:15.452 --> 00:06:17.814
to to do that like you spend a

00:06:17.875 --> 00:06:19.875
lot of time out there you get and

00:06:19.896 --> 00:06:21.216
there's not a lot to do there's a

00:06:21.257 --> 00:06:22.497
lot of down time and some of the

00:06:22.517 --> 00:06:25.019
people you interact with it's amazing like

00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:26.800
in base camp the twenty five hundred

00:06:26.821 --> 00:06:29.103
people that call this like one you know

00:06:29.322 --> 00:06:31.225
one kilometer by one kilometer chunk of

00:06:31.384 --> 00:06:34.867
ice home for for six weeks and uh

00:06:34.906 --> 00:06:36.928
six weeks dude it's like a little village

00:06:36.968 --> 00:06:38.610
that's built on a glacier at the base

00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:40.250
of the highest peak in the world and

00:06:40.350 --> 00:06:42.072
it is amazing logistically what's been

00:06:42.112 --> 00:06:42.572
done there

00:06:43.353 --> 00:06:46.478
amazing credit to the Nepali people for

00:06:46.517 --> 00:06:47.137
what they've done.

00:06:47.158 --> 00:06:48.660
But it's also really cool that you're

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:50.482
sitting in a tent and you're talking to

00:06:50.523 --> 00:06:52.564
a dude who's a CEO of a major

00:06:52.644 --> 00:06:55.428
company or major organizations, attorneys,

00:06:55.449 --> 00:06:57.851
like high achieving people who also wanna

00:06:57.872 --> 00:06:58.411
go do this.

00:06:59.533 --> 00:07:01.374
And then you're also talking to like a

00:07:01.473 --> 00:07:04.894
local villager who is helping support you

00:07:04.956 --> 00:07:05.815
get there and you got to do it

00:07:05.836 --> 00:07:06.156
together.

00:07:06.175 --> 00:07:07.757
And I just the whole thing again,

00:07:07.776 --> 00:07:08.216
like you said,

00:07:08.697 --> 00:07:10.298
different conversation for the time,

00:07:10.317 --> 00:07:10.718
but like,

00:07:11.218 --> 00:07:12.838
it's just a really cool experience,

00:07:12.939 --> 00:07:15.379
both from like a social interaction,

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.201
but obviously the, you know,

00:07:17.221 --> 00:07:19.762
the pursuit of something bigger was pretty

00:07:19.841 --> 00:07:20.122
awesome.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.062
Well, to go with your connection piece,

00:07:22.081 --> 00:07:23.502
you're sitting there on the mountain and

00:07:23.523 --> 00:07:24.985
you're talking to different people and

00:07:25.045 --> 00:07:26.786
conversations spur ideas.

00:07:27.548 --> 00:07:29.850
The first tagline for my podcast was the

00:07:29.891 --> 00:07:31.533
best conversations happen at happy hour.

00:07:31.572 --> 00:07:32.153
Welcome to ours.

00:07:32.173 --> 00:07:33.334
Like, that's how I wanted it to feel.

00:07:34.189 --> 00:07:36.091
It's not necessarily about the beer,

00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:37.531
even though the logo is damn beer,

00:07:37.771 --> 00:07:38.973
you know, with my eyeballs on it.

00:07:40.254 --> 00:07:42.257
So in the spirit of connection and the

00:07:42.297 --> 00:07:44.218
reason for this live stream and the reason

00:07:44.499 --> 00:07:46.399
the idea that came about it is for

00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.562
the sixty millionth time I was on LinkedIn

00:07:49.723 --> 00:07:51.165
and the platform doesn't matter.

00:07:51.185 --> 00:07:53.026
And I heard someone say there needs to

00:07:53.047 --> 00:07:55.028
be more business education in school.

00:07:55.468 --> 00:07:57.110
We have friends that are academics.

00:07:57.810 --> 00:07:59.934
academics typically don't disagree but

00:07:59.973 --> 00:08:01.134
then they're like where are we gonna put

00:08:01.175 --> 00:08:03.257
it right and then we just go around

00:08:03.278 --> 00:08:05.300
and round and round in circles and then

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.742
we we just get tired to the point

00:08:07.762 --> 00:08:11.668
when i literally just said okay chat gpt

00:08:11.788 --> 00:08:15.151
design me a syllabus for the mba for

00:08:15.172 --> 00:08:17.413
the dpt knowing that i don't have an

00:08:17.473 --> 00:08:17.735
mba

00:08:18.499 --> 00:08:20.480
you don't have an MBA MPH, right?

00:08:20.521 --> 00:08:22.221
Similar, but not the same, but Hey,

00:08:22.281 --> 00:08:23.622
we all think we need this.

00:08:23.843 --> 00:08:26.026
So I just said, could we crowdsource this?

00:08:26.326 --> 00:08:29.048
Turns out you can't put up the syllabus.

00:08:29.067 --> 00:08:29.649
And I just said,

00:08:29.988 --> 00:08:31.529
who wants to teach what,

00:08:32.171 --> 00:08:33.331
who wants and the,

00:08:33.572 --> 00:08:35.653
the power of connection at the, you know,

00:08:36.114 --> 00:08:38.456
Base camp or on LinkedIn is there are

00:08:38.496 --> 00:08:40.458
enough people who are willing to give

00:08:40.499 --> 00:08:43.221
their time and their expertise without

00:08:43.322 --> 00:08:44.903
asking for anything in return and just

00:08:44.943 --> 00:08:46.144
said, yeah, I'll throw.

00:08:46.164 --> 00:08:47.206
And that's the thing,

00:08:47.225 --> 00:08:48.648
especially when you're in PT is like,

00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:50.629
they're pretty nice.

00:08:50.789 --> 00:08:52.091
I don't want to cliche PTs,

00:08:52.111 --> 00:08:53.653
but they're pretty nice and giving if you

00:08:53.793 --> 00:08:54.014
ask.

00:08:54.573 --> 00:08:56.115
So we just started saying who would teach

00:08:56.155 --> 00:08:56.355
what?

00:08:57.187 --> 00:08:58.869
And we filled up most of the syllabus

00:08:58.908 --> 00:08:59.469
pretty quick.

00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:01.710
And then we had other people like, well,

00:09:01.730 --> 00:09:02.750
you know what's missing?

00:09:02.831 --> 00:09:04.091
And I go, no, I don't.

00:09:04.152 --> 00:09:05.392
Please tell me what's missing.

00:09:05.451 --> 00:09:07.653
And that, and I said, congratulations,

00:09:07.673 --> 00:09:10.254
you just volunteered to teach that class.

00:09:10.294 --> 00:09:11.375
So I'm going to put your name on

00:09:11.416 --> 00:09:11.596
there.

00:09:12.035 --> 00:09:13.236
And we wound up with,

00:09:13.537 --> 00:09:16.038
I don't even know, thirty classes,

00:09:16.097 --> 00:09:17.578
thirty little episodes,

00:09:17.619 --> 00:09:19.740
thirty lessons in the syllabus.

00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:21.640
And I don't even think we're done because,

00:09:21.681 --> 00:09:22.120
of course,

00:09:22.542 --> 00:09:23.542
people are going to come in there and

00:09:23.581 --> 00:09:24.462
yes and and

00:09:25.143 --> 00:09:26.664
I just talked to someone about revenue

00:09:26.705 --> 00:09:27.466
cycle management.

00:09:27.485 --> 00:09:27.667
I'm like,

00:09:27.687 --> 00:09:28.807
does that need to be on there?

00:09:28.847 --> 00:09:30.890
And she gave me a whooping behind the

00:09:30.931 --> 00:09:31.130
wood.

00:09:31.451 --> 00:09:32.673
Does it need to be on there?

00:09:32.732 --> 00:09:33.234
You need it.

00:09:33.254 --> 00:09:34.254
I was like, never mind.

00:09:34.355 --> 00:09:35.277
You have me greed.

00:09:35.537 --> 00:09:37.379
But these are the kinds of things we

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:38.000
want to do.

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:39.282
You saw it.

00:09:40.384 --> 00:09:42.105
were your initial thoughts here's jimmy

00:09:42.145 --> 00:09:44.686
again putting weird stuff on linkedin no i

00:09:44.706 --> 00:09:47.187
mean it's the same way the the pinecast

00:09:47.226 --> 00:09:49.128
started right like you came in and and

00:09:49.168 --> 00:09:50.427
i remember we were like at a happy

00:09:50.447 --> 00:09:51.948
hour and like dude i learned so much

00:09:51.989 --> 00:09:53.609
in going to these happy hours just talking

00:09:53.668 --> 00:09:56.710
to clinicians who know more than me and

00:09:56.750 --> 00:09:57.830
you're like how do we get it out

00:09:57.850 --> 00:09:59.471
of the bar right that's where we learn

00:09:59.510 --> 00:10:01.191
all that and that's how your your first

00:10:01.291 --> 00:10:02.412
idea came to be and i was like

00:10:02.432 --> 00:10:04.251
i don't know man this was what twelve

00:10:04.272 --> 00:10:05.873
you know ten years ago eleven years ago

00:10:05.893 --> 00:10:06.113
i was like

00:10:06.613 --> 00:10:06.873
I don't know,

00:10:06.893 --> 00:10:07.972
the first thing about podcasting,

00:10:08.013 --> 00:10:08.432
you do you.

00:10:08.552 --> 00:10:09.474
I hear you.

00:10:09.514 --> 00:10:12.254
And kudos for seeing that and making it

00:10:12.293 --> 00:10:12.673
a thing.

00:10:13.154 --> 00:10:15.455
So the same thing with this is now

00:10:17.054 --> 00:10:18.975
we've always sat there and complained

00:10:18.995 --> 00:10:21.235
about how we don't really know what we're

00:10:21.275 --> 00:10:22.697
doing from a business perspective.

00:10:22.716 --> 00:10:24.937
We don't come out of PT school with

00:10:25.076 --> 00:10:27.398
this savvy business background.

00:10:27.977 --> 00:10:30.719
We got one course that was one hour

00:10:30.778 --> 00:10:32.379
a week, PT as a manager.

00:10:33.119 --> 00:10:35.279
And not to knock the programs,

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:36.520
because I get it.

00:10:36.541 --> 00:10:37.961
It's not necessarily part of the board

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:38.360
exam.

00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:39.341
Right.

00:10:39.442 --> 00:10:40.261
It's not their skill set.

00:10:41.142 --> 00:10:44.024
The structure of our classroom education

00:10:44.043 --> 00:10:46.205
is to get us ready to become entry-level

00:10:46.245 --> 00:10:46.764
clinicians.

00:10:46.804 --> 00:10:46.985
Well,

00:10:47.024 --> 00:10:49.725
part of what we're seeing now is a

00:10:49.785 --> 00:10:51.346
lot of clinicians who want to come out

00:10:51.366 --> 00:10:51.667
and say, hey,

00:10:51.687 --> 00:10:52.567
I have this doctorate degree.

00:10:52.586 --> 00:10:53.246
I have these skills.

00:10:53.307 --> 00:10:54.528
I have this passion.

00:10:55.008 --> 00:10:56.509
Let me go serve my community.

00:10:57.168 --> 00:10:58.288
And I don't necessarily fit into the

00:10:58.308 --> 00:10:59.389
conventional outpatient environment.

00:11:00.451 --> 00:11:01.431
So how do I do that?

00:11:01.530 --> 00:11:02.471
I want to start my own business.

00:11:02.511 --> 00:11:02.731
Great.

00:11:02.751 --> 00:11:03.753
You have a great idea.

00:11:04.072 --> 00:11:04.673
How do you do it?

00:11:04.692 --> 00:11:06.033
I don't know.

00:11:07.235 --> 00:11:08.775
And I think this this kind of is

00:11:08.796 --> 00:11:09.756
a couple of years in the making.

00:11:09.797 --> 00:11:09.996
Right.

00:11:10.017 --> 00:11:10.397
Like, I mean,

00:11:10.437 --> 00:11:12.278
two and twenty four at CSM.

00:11:12.337 --> 00:11:12.538
Right.

00:11:12.577 --> 00:11:15.500
Like we got the fortunate opportunity to

00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:18.402
speak and we literally were we were dumb

00:11:18.422 --> 00:11:18.822
and dumber.

00:11:18.942 --> 00:11:19.163
Right.

00:11:19.182 --> 00:11:20.523
It was me, Mike and Megan.

00:11:20.644 --> 00:11:22.083
And we just got to talk about all

00:11:22.124 --> 00:11:24.186
of the mistakes that we did in our

00:11:24.306 --> 00:11:25.547
own private practice.

00:11:26.471 --> 00:11:27.751
in our journeys through that.

00:11:27.772 --> 00:11:28.552
And it's like, okay,

00:11:28.591 --> 00:11:30.052
here's all the dumb stuff we did.

00:11:30.273 --> 00:11:30.832
Don't do that.

00:11:30.852 --> 00:11:31.393
Don't do that.

00:11:31.673 --> 00:11:31.852
Right.

00:11:31.932 --> 00:11:32.854
Learn from our mistakes.

00:11:32.874 --> 00:11:33.033
Well,

00:11:33.073 --> 00:11:34.333
here's another opportunity where we can

00:11:34.374 --> 00:11:36.394
now bring in some sharp minds,

00:11:36.414 --> 00:11:37.655
some people who have been there,

00:11:37.716 --> 00:11:39.056
done that, learned all the things,

00:11:39.735 --> 00:11:42.017
give these educational lessons in a

00:11:42.356 --> 00:11:44.158
applied format where it's like, Hey,

00:11:44.197 --> 00:11:45.438
you can take this, listen to this,

00:11:45.499 --> 00:11:45.958
thirty minutes,

00:11:45.979 --> 00:11:47.099
listen to those forty five minutes,

00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:49.440
pick one or two things and take it

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:49.841
back to you.

00:11:49.921 --> 00:11:51.821
And even if it's not applicable today,

00:11:51.921 --> 00:11:52.422
right now,

00:11:53.001 --> 00:11:53.241
you're

00:11:54.197 --> 00:11:55.139
You're a staff clinician,

00:11:55.158 --> 00:11:56.360
but somewhere in the back of your head,

00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:57.741
you have this idea of pinging around and

00:11:57.761 --> 00:11:58.001
like, Hey,

00:11:58.022 --> 00:12:00.344
I want to go do something like, well,

00:12:00.364 --> 00:12:01.524
the biggest thing that I've learned over

00:12:01.546 --> 00:12:03.006
the last two years and working with people

00:12:03.027 --> 00:12:03.528
in these different,

00:12:03.748 --> 00:12:05.269
in these different positions I've been in

00:12:05.308 --> 00:12:06.269
and, and, and worked with,

00:12:06.870 --> 00:12:07.831
there's a lot of great people,

00:12:07.851 --> 00:12:08.773
a lot of great ideas.

00:12:09.172 --> 00:12:10.092
But they don't know where to start.

00:12:10.953 --> 00:12:12.635
And when you don't know where to start,

00:12:12.676 --> 00:12:14.236
that is uncertainty.

00:12:14.277 --> 00:12:14.937
That's fear.

00:12:15.057 --> 00:12:17.221
And fear is the biggest barrier to entry

00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:17.581
for us.

00:12:18.282 --> 00:12:20.744
So hopefully through some education over

00:12:20.764 --> 00:12:22.947
this next year, these different topics,

00:12:23.366 --> 00:12:25.188
everything from foundational knowledge on

00:12:25.548 --> 00:12:26.791
what we need to understand

00:12:27.071 --> 00:12:28.572
when we open our doors or before we

00:12:28.613 --> 00:12:31.296
even open our doors to how to scale,

00:12:31.316 --> 00:12:32.557
how to grow, how to exit,

00:12:32.736 --> 00:12:34.119
all of these things in between,

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.201
hopefully over this next year,

00:12:37.221 --> 00:12:38.903
we can give some people some good things

00:12:38.943 --> 00:12:41.005
to hear and give some things to think

00:12:41.025 --> 00:12:42.927
about and not make the same mistakes that

00:12:42.947 --> 00:12:43.288
we've made.

00:12:43.958 --> 00:12:46.080
My co-host from the PT Breakfast Club,

00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:46.500
Dave,

00:12:46.700 --> 00:12:47.919
is about to say something that I did.

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.061
Just watch that mic.

00:12:49.081 --> 00:12:50.380
It's rubbing a little bit.

00:12:50.921 --> 00:12:51.922
I think it's rubbing on your shirt.

00:12:52.841 --> 00:12:54.022
But that means people are listening,

00:12:54.062 --> 00:12:54.442
David.

00:12:55.202 --> 00:12:56.003
That's a good thing.

00:12:57.503 --> 00:12:57.844
All right.

00:12:57.923 --> 00:13:01.245
So this is where we team up well.

00:13:02.865 --> 00:13:05.005
You're very much a how guy, right?

00:13:05.686 --> 00:13:07.385
And it's like, I can't do anyhow,

00:13:08.067 --> 00:13:09.067
but I'm a little bit of a wow

00:13:09.086 --> 00:13:09.567
guy, right?

00:13:09.606 --> 00:13:10.606
I'm like, Hey everybody,

00:13:11.187 --> 00:13:13.048
let's go this way and do our own

00:13:13.148 --> 00:13:13.368
MBA.

00:13:13.508 --> 00:13:15.788
And then we get there and they're like,

00:13:15.807 --> 00:13:16.567
what are we doing next?

00:13:16.587 --> 00:13:17.229
And I'm like, I don't know.

00:13:17.249 --> 00:13:18.828
My job was to get everybody over here.

00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:19.328
Here we are.

00:13:19.369 --> 00:13:19.989
What do we do next?

00:13:20.009 --> 00:13:20.808
I don't know.

00:13:20.849 --> 00:13:21.909
So that's where we got the wow guy

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:23.289
who are the how guy who comes in

00:13:23.309 --> 00:13:23.830
and that's you.

00:13:24.289 --> 00:13:25.690
So we've already started recording this,

00:13:26.270 --> 00:13:26.490
right?

00:13:26.591 --> 00:13:28.850
So again, we have a post on LinkedIn.

00:13:29.010 --> 00:13:30.371
I will share it in the comments across

00:13:30.392 --> 00:13:30.991
this platform.

00:13:31.331 --> 00:13:31.892
Take a look.

00:13:32.979 --> 00:13:33.178
Um,

00:13:33.278 --> 00:13:34.639
we started recording lessons from the

00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:36.922
people who were nice enough to, uh,

00:13:36.961 --> 00:13:39.803
to volunteer so you can peruse the

00:13:39.903 --> 00:13:40.445
syllabus.

00:13:40.985 --> 00:13:42.245
You and I sort of looked at it

00:13:42.285 --> 00:13:43.366
and also decided like,

00:13:44.508 --> 00:13:45.788
we want to make sure

00:13:47.551 --> 00:13:50.432
that just like an actual good academic

00:13:50.712 --> 00:13:52.274
that if we're teaching this class,

00:13:53.014 --> 00:13:54.255
you can do thirty things,

00:13:54.275 --> 00:13:55.035
but you got to make sure you hit

00:13:55.056 --> 00:13:55.836
these five things.

00:13:56.397 --> 00:13:57.437
So if you're taking whatever,

00:13:57.778 --> 00:13:59.019
make sure you have to hit these five

00:13:59.058 --> 00:13:59.339
things.

00:13:59.619 --> 00:14:00.940
But then we can go on tangents and

00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:02.000
have fun and do whatever.

00:14:03.001 --> 00:14:04.222
So we're sort of trying to bake that

00:14:04.263 --> 00:14:04.842
into the cake.

00:14:04.883 --> 00:14:06.823
So the lessons are going to be there.

00:14:07.705 --> 00:14:08.988
by the instructor's choice,

00:14:09.708 --> 00:14:11.172
I can just give them an intro and

00:14:11.192 --> 00:14:12.774
then I can dip out and just sit

00:14:12.794 --> 00:14:14.057
there and eat popcorn and listen.

00:14:14.697 --> 00:14:16.500
Or I've like I've offered to like be

00:14:16.520 --> 00:14:17.442
their T.A.

00:14:19.241 --> 00:14:19.982
for lack of a better term,

00:14:20.003 --> 00:14:20.403
which is like,

00:14:21.203 --> 00:14:22.465
I sort of know what your outline is

00:14:22.504 --> 00:14:23.505
because you shared it with me.

00:14:23.946 --> 00:14:26.028
I'll now just ask you those things as

00:14:26.087 --> 00:14:27.208
prompts and then shut up.

00:14:27.789 --> 00:14:28.931
And then when I think you're done with

00:14:28.951 --> 00:14:29.370
that thing,

00:14:29.551 --> 00:14:30.831
I will then transition to the next,

00:14:31.052 --> 00:14:32.453
like an interview or a radio show.

00:14:32.874 --> 00:14:33.934
So we're doing those things.

00:14:34.434 --> 00:14:36.076
So you were the how guy and you

00:14:36.096 --> 00:14:37.677
took the syllabus that I created and you

00:14:37.717 --> 00:14:38.139
sort of like,

00:14:39.355 --> 00:14:41.136
I don't know, judged it up.

00:14:41.256 --> 00:14:41.957
You judged it.

00:14:42.298 --> 00:14:43.078
It's been judged.

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.062
How many classes do you think we're

00:14:45.101 --> 00:14:46.903
actually going to wind up with or modules

00:14:46.923 --> 00:14:47.144
or whatever?

00:14:47.163 --> 00:14:48.205
Because we want to kick this off on

00:14:48.304 --> 00:14:48.666
one one.

00:14:48.725 --> 00:14:50.106
That's the goal is start twenty twenty

00:14:50.147 --> 00:14:50.326
six.

00:14:51.397 --> 00:14:51.836
Yeah, I mean,

00:14:51.917 --> 00:14:53.758
I think as we've sat down and kind

00:14:53.798 --> 00:14:54.738
of put this together,

00:14:54.937 --> 00:14:56.758
the flow is going to be very much

00:14:56.837 --> 00:14:58.798
mirrored after what, you know,

00:14:58.839 --> 00:14:59.359
that's what I did.

00:14:59.418 --> 00:15:00.078
I took some time.

00:15:00.479 --> 00:15:01.298
I looked at ten,

00:15:01.359 --> 00:15:03.659
fifteen different curriculums that are

00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:06.340
widely available on an applied MBA program

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.380
or an executive level MBA program that are

00:15:09.441 --> 00:15:09.780
out there.

00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:11.261
OK, go through their syllabus,

00:15:11.381 --> 00:15:12.341
go through their curriculum.

00:15:12.481 --> 00:15:12.961
What's in it?

00:15:13.542 --> 00:15:15.003
okay well there's a lot of stuff that

00:15:15.302 --> 00:15:18.385
might not totally be applicable to to us

00:15:18.426 --> 00:15:20.586
as pts so like how do we take

00:15:20.626 --> 00:15:22.288
those things and then apply them into what

00:15:22.328 --> 00:15:23.950
is actually useful on our day in and

00:15:23.970 --> 00:15:25.490
day out so then we basically took that

00:15:26.152 --> 00:15:28.692
compiled all of that synthesized it and

00:15:28.732 --> 00:15:29.874
said okay here's what it's going to look

00:15:29.913 --> 00:15:31.676
like and the general flow that we've kind

00:15:31.716 --> 00:15:34.177
of landed on is every month we're going

00:15:34.197 --> 00:15:36.418
to have a new course essentially like you

00:15:36.658 --> 00:15:39.000
know foundations one oh one yeah new like

00:15:39.020 --> 00:15:39.841
heading or whatever

00:15:40.381 --> 00:15:40.662
Yeah.

00:15:40.701 --> 00:15:41.022
So, you know,

00:15:41.042 --> 00:15:42.842
we're going to start in January with,

00:15:42.942 --> 00:15:44.243
with the foundations of healthcare

00:15:44.283 --> 00:15:45.203
business and strategy.

00:15:45.303 --> 00:15:47.124
So looking at everything from like,

00:15:47.244 --> 00:15:48.865
how does money flow in healthcare?

00:15:48.904 --> 00:15:49.365
Like what,

00:15:49.485 --> 00:15:51.525
what are we in this giant cog when

00:15:51.546 --> 00:15:52.285
we say healthcare?

00:15:52.326 --> 00:15:53.905
It's rubbing on your beard, David.

00:15:53.926 --> 00:15:55.167
See, I have no facial hair.

00:15:55.187 --> 00:15:55.267
Okay.

00:15:55.287 --> 00:15:57.106
Well, there it is.

00:15:57.167 --> 00:15:57.548
Keep going.

00:15:57.567 --> 00:15:58.548
All right.

00:15:58.687 --> 00:16:00.548
I got you.

00:16:00.587 --> 00:16:02.068
So that's echoed in my head though.

00:16:02.089 --> 00:16:02.769
All right.

00:16:02.828 --> 00:16:03.548
So yes.

00:16:03.568 --> 00:16:03.769
All right.

00:16:03.789 --> 00:16:03.929
Go back.

00:16:03.950 --> 00:16:04.769
I didn't mean to throw you off.

00:16:05.009 --> 00:16:05.330
You're good.

00:16:05.730 --> 00:16:06.490
No, the idea is like,

00:16:06.530 --> 00:16:08.011
how do we flow through things, right?

00:16:08.052 --> 00:16:09.432
So then if we can flow through a

00:16:09.471 --> 00:16:10.893
normal curriculum where it's like,

00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:12.173
we're going to create some foundational

00:16:12.232 --> 00:16:14.774
knowledge of basic healthcare economics,

00:16:15.014 --> 00:16:15.774
what is this?

00:16:15.854 --> 00:16:17.595
Where are we in this giant game of

00:16:17.654 --> 00:16:18.174
healthcare?

00:16:18.595 --> 00:16:19.596
How does the money flow?

00:16:19.995 --> 00:16:21.255
Is that going to be the most scintillating

00:16:21.316 --> 00:16:21.976
topic in the world?

00:16:22.037 --> 00:16:22.636
Probably not.

00:16:23.116 --> 00:16:25.717
But you've got to know the basics of

00:16:25.778 --> 00:16:28.259
where you fit into this and how are

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:30.620
all of these things going on around you

00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:31.740
and how does this impact you?

00:16:32.187 --> 00:16:34.249
listen to that on two X speed, right?

00:16:34.288 --> 00:16:34.908
Blow through that.

00:16:35.168 --> 00:16:36.208
That's what we would have done in PT

00:16:36.229 --> 00:16:37.129
school, right?

00:16:37.168 --> 00:16:38.129
Like blow through that,

00:16:38.629 --> 00:16:39.330
but probably don't.

00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:39.710
The funny,

00:16:39.789 --> 00:16:40.990
the fun part is the people who know

00:16:41.009 --> 00:16:41.529
the basics,

00:16:41.870 --> 00:16:42.791
they know how to make it sort of

00:16:42.811 --> 00:16:42.990
fun.

00:16:43.030 --> 00:16:44.211
Like we're not, you know, we're, we're,

00:16:44.571 --> 00:16:45.851
we're, we're not taking, you know,

00:16:45.871 --> 00:16:47.091
people who can't judge it up a little

00:16:47.111 --> 00:16:48.892
bit, you know,

00:16:48.932 --> 00:16:49.913
but we'll get through that stuff.

00:16:49.932 --> 00:16:50.092
Right?

00:16:50.113 --> 00:16:52.153
So the idea is one to two episodes

00:16:52.173 --> 00:16:52.932
a week, right?

00:16:53.053 --> 00:16:54.494
One to two courses a week.

00:16:55.254 --> 00:16:55.474
Um,

00:16:55.933 --> 00:16:57.375
and we're going to just roll three to

00:16:57.434 --> 00:16:58.054
six minutes.

00:16:58.075 --> 00:16:58.495
I'm thinking,

00:16:59.187 --> 00:16:59.767
Yeah, exactly.

00:16:59.787 --> 00:17:00.668
We're going to work through it.

00:17:02.307 --> 00:17:04.108
And very quickly in month one,

00:17:04.169 --> 00:17:05.229
we're going to start talking about

00:17:05.308 --> 00:17:06.148
strategy basics.

00:17:06.169 --> 00:17:07.410
We're going to talk about operational

00:17:07.430 --> 00:17:07.869
basics.

00:17:08.289 --> 00:17:09.269
What do you need to know?

00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:12.351
Whether you have an idea and you haven't

00:17:12.371 --> 00:17:14.592
started yet, or you're about to start,

00:17:14.652 --> 00:17:16.173
or you've already started and you want to

00:17:16.232 --> 00:17:16.873
scale and grow.

00:17:17.373 --> 00:17:18.553
but you don't want to make mistakes as

00:17:18.573 --> 00:17:19.993
you scale and grow or you're afraid you're

00:17:20.013 --> 00:17:21.815
like hey i've got this good thing i'm

00:17:21.875 --> 00:17:24.095
really busy my schedule's full now what

00:17:24.516 --> 00:17:25.875
now right like that's the biggest thing

00:17:26.195 --> 00:17:27.676
i've seen over the last couple years is

00:17:27.717 --> 00:17:29.116
we have some incredibly talented

00:17:29.136 --> 00:17:31.498
clinicians but the thought of scaling and

00:17:31.538 --> 00:17:33.578
growing their business to bring on

00:17:33.618 --> 00:17:36.519
employees bring on help bring on a staff

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.420
is like whoa where do i go with

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:40.621
that um so the hope is like through

00:17:40.641 --> 00:17:41.961
some of these foundational episodes in

00:17:41.981 --> 00:17:43.862
this first few months we'll take some of

00:17:43.882 --> 00:17:45.482
that fear away and make it a little

00:17:45.502 --> 00:17:46.022
bit easier

00:17:46.423 --> 00:17:48.724
to get people in uh you know in

00:17:48.744 --> 00:17:51.508
with it and get going so um yeah

00:17:52.028 --> 00:17:53.990
right now it's structured as as every

00:17:54.049 --> 00:17:56.291
month will be a new course um like

00:17:56.311 --> 00:17:58.094
i said january is gonna be foundation's

00:17:58.114 --> 00:17:59.914
healthcare business strategy what's

00:17:59.934 --> 00:18:02.057
february we're gonna look at accounting

00:18:02.136 --> 00:18:04.759
finance for clinicians um so basics right

00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:06.560
like yeah i know all the things but

00:18:06.641 --> 00:18:08.363
hey you know what money does pay the

00:18:08.383 --> 00:18:10.565
bills and if you know money

00:18:12.401 --> 00:18:13.381
It helps out in life.

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.501
Money is not the cure-all, but it's sure,

00:18:15.582 --> 00:18:18.143
you know, being sad with money.

00:18:18.222 --> 00:18:20.463
I've tried being sad with money and being

00:18:20.503 --> 00:18:21.284
sad without money.

00:18:21.304 --> 00:18:22.423
It turns out being sad with a little

00:18:22.443 --> 00:18:23.144
bit of money is better.

00:18:23.164 --> 00:18:25.025
It's a nice thing.

00:18:25.065 --> 00:18:25.565
So, you know,

00:18:25.585 --> 00:18:26.826
being able to talk through what does that

00:18:26.846 --> 00:18:27.246
look like?

00:18:27.286 --> 00:18:27.645
Okay.

00:18:27.965 --> 00:18:29.666
How do you get your business valued?

00:18:29.866 --> 00:18:32.247
What do you do to take on capital?

00:18:32.327 --> 00:18:33.347
What does that look like?

00:18:33.367 --> 00:18:35.568
You know, how do you read a P&L?

00:18:35.648 --> 00:18:36.608
Like what's important?

00:18:37.128 --> 00:18:38.970
What do you what are what matters is

00:18:39.009 --> 00:18:39.589
a KPI?

00:18:39.670 --> 00:18:41.151
Like, what the hell is a KPI?

00:18:41.230 --> 00:18:41.371
Like,

00:18:41.411 --> 00:18:42.451
those are the things that we're going to

00:18:42.471 --> 00:18:44.892
be able to talk about and apply to

00:18:44.932 --> 00:18:45.432
those settings.

00:18:45.452 --> 00:18:46.032
And again, like,

00:18:46.073 --> 00:18:48.554
it's not going to be perfectly applicable

00:18:48.574 --> 00:18:49.213
to everybody.

00:18:49.253 --> 00:18:50.595
But the hope is they're going to be

00:18:50.634 --> 00:18:52.655
broad enough where if you listen,

00:18:52.695 --> 00:18:54.256
you can think about how does this apply

00:18:54.296 --> 00:18:54.935
to my setting?

00:18:54.957 --> 00:18:57.637
How does this apply to my business and

00:18:57.657 --> 00:18:58.518
then help you?

00:18:59.298 --> 00:18:59.938
plug that in.

00:18:59.978 --> 00:19:01.659
So if you're a manager and you're like,

00:19:01.679 --> 00:19:02.138
hey, you know what?

00:19:02.239 --> 00:19:03.679
One day I want to get out of

00:19:03.719 --> 00:19:04.740
this and I want to do my own

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:04.960
thing.

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:05.779
Or, hey,

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.519
I'm a multi-site and I want to go

00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:08.121
to regional.

00:19:08.201 --> 00:19:08.340
Well,

00:19:08.361 --> 00:19:09.381
it's important if you want to be a

00:19:09.421 --> 00:19:10.260
regional director,

00:19:10.621 --> 00:19:13.741
you understand what the C-suite is looking

00:19:13.801 --> 00:19:13.922
at.

00:19:13.981 --> 00:19:16.323
You want to understand what is driving

00:19:16.343 --> 00:19:18.522
this machine that pays your salary.

00:19:18.884 --> 00:19:19.804
You got to be good at that.

00:19:19.903 --> 00:19:20.364
And then also,

00:19:20.403 --> 00:19:21.663
how do you relay that back down?

00:19:21.743 --> 00:19:23.045
So those are going to be some of

00:19:23.065 --> 00:19:24.644
the foundational things from accounting,

00:19:24.684 --> 00:19:25.744
finance, stuff like that.

00:19:25.845 --> 00:19:27.365
And I think it's also important to make

00:19:27.405 --> 00:19:27.766
sure that

00:19:28.546 --> 00:19:30.967
we're not going to just have PTs talking.

00:19:31.027 --> 00:19:32.346
We're going to have people from all

00:19:32.406 --> 00:19:34.467
different walks of healthcare and finance

00:19:34.527 --> 00:19:35.086
and business,

00:19:35.847 --> 00:19:37.548
some actual MBA trained people.

00:19:37.627 --> 00:19:38.948
People have been there and done that in

00:19:38.968 --> 00:19:41.709
the entrepreneurial world to help you feel

00:19:41.788 --> 00:19:42.449
comfortable,

00:19:43.189 --> 00:19:44.788
you as the listener feel comfortable with

00:19:44.828 --> 00:19:47.309
saying, okay, I have this idea,

00:19:47.349 --> 00:19:48.109
how do I launch it?

00:19:48.210 --> 00:19:49.450
Well, now I'm a solopreneur,

00:19:49.470 --> 00:19:50.910
how do I turn into an entrepreneur?

00:19:51.009 --> 00:19:51.990
I have these ideas,

00:19:52.030 --> 00:19:52.810
how do I scale this?

00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:53.691
How do I make it a thing?

00:19:54.530 --> 00:19:55.413
And again, like, you know,

00:19:55.432 --> 00:19:57.155
give some skills and resources to make

00:19:57.175 --> 00:19:58.980
that feel a little less scary to take

00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.441
that jump.

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.884
What are some of the other like

00:20:02.175 --> 00:20:03.757
big subheadings that we're doing?

00:20:03.817 --> 00:20:05.898
Basics, finance, what else is on?

00:20:05.919 --> 00:20:06.598
I don't even know.

00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:07.098
Yeah.

00:20:07.278 --> 00:20:09.421
Operations, so systems, designs,

00:20:10.501 --> 00:20:11.843
how do you design workflows?

00:20:11.883 --> 00:20:12.502
How do you hire?

00:20:12.542 --> 00:20:13.282
How do you fire?

00:20:13.683 --> 00:20:14.944
What does HR look like?

00:20:15.765 --> 00:20:16.746
I think one of the ones that I'm

00:20:16.766 --> 00:20:18.567
fired up for is coming this spring when

00:20:18.586 --> 00:20:20.788
we talk about leadership and

00:20:20.808 --> 00:20:21.848
organizational behavior.

00:20:21.888 --> 00:20:24.250
So how do you create culture in your

00:20:24.310 --> 00:20:25.030
organization?

00:20:25.372 --> 00:20:26.932
That word is thrown around a lot.

00:20:27.032 --> 00:20:28.413
Oh, culture this, culture that.

00:20:28.933 --> 00:20:29.314
Great.

00:20:29.493 --> 00:20:29.974
What is it?

00:20:30.035 --> 00:20:31.776
It's way more than the occasional

00:20:32.363 --> 00:20:34.464
know after work you know happy hour it's

00:20:34.525 --> 00:20:37.186
way more than the pizza party buying the

00:20:37.227 --> 00:20:39.648
pizza at lunch once a quarter because we

00:20:39.669 --> 00:20:41.349
got bad news to drop on the company

00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:43.791
right more and like how do we actually

00:20:43.832 --> 00:20:46.594
develop that from a large-scale system and

00:20:46.614 --> 00:20:48.595
we can look at that from hospital-based

00:20:48.634 --> 00:20:49.976
systems and i know you've had some of

00:20:49.996 --> 00:20:52.317
those uh you know some great guests in

00:20:52.337 --> 00:20:53.878
the past who have spoken to some of

00:20:53.898 --> 00:20:55.661
those those topics but it's like now how

00:20:55.681 --> 00:20:57.521
do we apply them to the scaling and

00:20:57.582 --> 00:20:58.542
growing business

00:20:58.762 --> 00:20:59.864
uh, clinician.

00:20:59.943 --> 00:21:00.984
I think that's going to be a fun

00:21:01.045 --> 00:21:02.365
one to, to dive into.

00:21:02.385 --> 00:21:05.308
Um, I mean, I, we haven't,

00:21:05.348 --> 00:21:07.390
we even had a healthcare lawyer that I've

00:21:07.711 --> 00:21:09.172
connected to on LinkedIn only.

00:21:09.192 --> 00:21:09.932
I've never met the guy.

00:21:09.992 --> 00:21:10.573
And next thing I know,

00:21:10.593 --> 00:21:13.035
we got like four courses in law for

00:21:13.055 --> 00:21:14.696
the healthcare provider and healthcare

00:21:14.797 --> 00:21:16.498
owner, which is great.

00:21:16.698 --> 00:21:17.979
Uh, just off the top of my head,

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:19.721
I didn't reach out with him, uh,

00:21:20.489 --> 00:21:22.809
but I know a healthcare real estate agent.

00:21:22.829 --> 00:21:23.769
It's all he does.

00:21:23.829 --> 00:21:25.631
He's licensed in fifty states and all he

00:21:25.671 --> 00:21:26.211
does is,

00:21:26.671 --> 00:21:28.372
here are the eleven things you can't screw

00:21:28.432 --> 00:21:30.393
up in a lease or a buy.

00:21:30.492 --> 00:21:31.772
I mean,

00:21:31.814 --> 00:21:34.355
he told like crazy stories in an episode

00:21:34.474 --> 00:21:34.974
how he's like,

00:21:35.674 --> 00:21:37.016
you watch these super smart people in

00:21:37.056 --> 00:21:39.217
healthcare completely get the,

00:21:39.557 --> 00:21:42.758
like just completely rugged in a lease or

00:21:42.778 --> 00:21:43.857
a sale of a building.

00:21:44.038 --> 00:21:46.038
And then they're working for their

00:21:46.078 --> 00:21:46.720
landlord.

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:48.721
Like they're doing these surgeries in the

00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:50.101
center, but they're, Oh, so much.

00:21:50.141 --> 00:21:50.441
It's like,

00:21:50.901 --> 00:21:52.721
you can make bad decisions real,

00:21:52.942 --> 00:21:53.462
real easy,

00:21:53.522 --> 00:21:55.343
especially when you're trying to move

00:21:55.383 --> 00:21:55.762
quickly.

00:21:55.824 --> 00:21:57.344
So I ha that's not even,

00:21:57.384 --> 00:21:57.963
I'm a syllabus,

00:21:58.003 --> 00:21:59.845
but real estate definitely needs to be a

00:21:59.884 --> 00:22:00.125
lesson.

00:22:00.144 --> 00:22:01.165
Yeah, absolutely.

00:22:01.246 --> 00:22:01.425
I mean,

00:22:01.885 --> 00:22:03.948
We'll dive into that in terms of law,

00:22:04.008 --> 00:22:04.907
policy, things like that.

00:22:05.107 --> 00:22:06.809
How do you mitigate your risk when you're

00:22:06.829 --> 00:22:08.351
building something?

00:22:08.431 --> 00:22:09.852
How do you factor those things and who

00:22:09.872 --> 00:22:10.531
do you go to?

00:22:10.592 --> 00:22:11.712
What kind of attorneys do you need to

00:22:11.732 --> 00:22:14.015
have relationships with?

00:22:14.255 --> 00:22:15.395
It was one of those things, again,

00:22:15.476 --> 00:22:18.597
I can share some personal experience.

00:22:19.358 --> 00:22:19.979
I was like, wait,

00:22:20.098 --> 00:22:21.480
an attorney wants how much per hour?

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.240
Yeah, we'll figure it out.

00:22:23.509 --> 00:22:24.509
No, it's worth it.

00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:27.330
What would it cost you to undo what

00:22:27.371 --> 00:22:28.872
you did if you hired a lawyer in

00:22:28.912 --> 00:22:29.991
the first place sometimes?

00:22:30.332 --> 00:22:31.292
It's worth the cost.

00:22:31.393 --> 00:22:32.992
Create a good relationship with somebody

00:22:33.012 --> 00:22:34.493
before you jump in there.

00:22:34.513 --> 00:22:36.453
So those kind of topics will be good.

00:22:36.595 --> 00:22:37.755
And then as we kind of work through

00:22:37.775 --> 00:22:38.315
the year, I mean,

00:22:38.335 --> 00:22:39.955
being able to look through some of the

00:22:39.976 --> 00:22:42.636
innovative topics that are going to come

00:22:42.737 --> 00:22:42.876
up.

00:22:42.896 --> 00:22:45.397
And what I think excites me about this

00:22:45.438 --> 00:22:46.877
is, as we've talked about, it's like,

00:22:47.278 --> 00:22:49.038
yeah, we've got the syllabus, but let's...

00:22:49.679 --> 00:22:51.319
have people who are listening help us,

00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:51.559
right?

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.861
Like, Hey, I really want this topic.

00:22:54.320 --> 00:22:55.761
I really am struggling with this.

00:22:55.821 --> 00:22:56.962
Are we going to talk about this?

00:22:57.042 --> 00:22:57.343
Blah.

00:22:57.682 --> 00:22:59.064
You know, we can post, you know,

00:22:59.084 --> 00:22:59.243
you know,

00:22:59.284 --> 00:23:00.825
we'll kind of post our overview of what

00:23:00.845 --> 00:23:02.085
the next year is going to look like.

00:23:02.765 --> 00:23:03.945
And if there's stuff that's missing,

00:23:04.226 --> 00:23:05.426
let's, let's add it in.

00:23:05.626 --> 00:23:06.386
Let's talk about it.

00:23:06.807 --> 00:23:08.307
If ten people ask for it,

00:23:08.827 --> 00:23:09.489
we're not idiots.

00:23:09.568 --> 00:23:11.109
I would probably jump on that.

00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:13.211
I mean, that's listening to your audience.

00:23:13.270 --> 00:23:13.490
Yeah.

00:23:14.394 --> 00:23:15.734
i think you know one of the other

00:23:15.755 --> 00:23:18.375
things that we've discussed that really

00:23:18.395 --> 00:23:19.875
gets me fired up is the idea of

00:23:19.915 --> 00:23:21.415
like how do we then put all of

00:23:21.435 --> 00:23:23.997
these put common thinkers in the same room

00:23:24.076 --> 00:23:25.436
right like creating some degree of a

00:23:25.477 --> 00:23:28.518
mastermind series i think that's going to

00:23:28.538 --> 00:23:31.178
be a huge thing as we go through

00:23:31.798 --> 00:23:36.058
is let's really start working on creating

00:23:36.098 --> 00:23:38.799
community of similar-minded driven people

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:40.259
who want to get themselves out there

00:23:41.431 --> 00:23:43.810
kind of challenge where they're at and

00:23:43.852 --> 00:23:45.332
grow something for themselves.

00:23:45.832 --> 00:23:47.031
But how do you actually get there?

00:23:47.451 --> 00:23:49.073
And let's put some similar minds in the

00:23:49.093 --> 00:23:49.673
same room,

00:23:49.853 --> 00:23:53.973
same across the country and help people

00:23:54.013 --> 00:23:54.453
get there.

00:23:56.314 --> 00:24:03.476
I'm putting up the current syllabus on all

00:24:03.516 --> 00:24:03.935
the channels.

00:24:03.976 --> 00:24:06.836
That's why it looks like I'm not able

00:24:06.875 --> 00:24:08.497
to think and talk because I'm not able

00:24:08.517 --> 00:24:09.977
to think and talk.

00:24:11.097 --> 00:24:11.617
Agreed.

00:24:11.699 --> 00:24:12.818
Current syllabus is there.

00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:16.561
We're leaving out a gigantic part of this

00:24:16.602 --> 00:24:17.083
whole thing.

00:24:17.762 --> 00:24:18.263
David,

00:24:18.344 --> 00:24:21.006
will you tell everybody what it will cost

00:24:21.665 --> 00:24:22.727
to take this course?

00:24:23.167 --> 00:24:24.449
Well, you know,

00:24:24.469 --> 00:24:25.789
you're going to buckle up for that one

00:24:25.829 --> 00:24:26.951
because it's going to be free.

00:24:27.090 --> 00:24:28.132
Now,

00:24:28.231 --> 00:24:31.054
it should be the average cost for an

00:24:31.193 --> 00:24:32.894
actual in-person MBA is two,

00:24:33.035 --> 00:24:34.195
according to the Google box,

00:24:34.517 --> 00:24:36.939
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars in

00:24:36.979 --> 00:24:38.539
two years of your life.

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.599
Yep.

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:41.941
This so I wouldn't say this will be

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:43.541
of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars

00:24:43.602 --> 00:24:43.882
value.

00:24:43.961 --> 00:24:44.481
In fact,

00:24:44.882 --> 00:24:46.403
it could be more because you're getting

00:24:46.502 --> 00:24:48.002
multiple perspective.

00:24:48.303 --> 00:24:49.544
But let's just say it's going to be

00:24:49.584 --> 00:24:49.983
valuable.

00:24:50.003 --> 00:24:53.944
It should be a couple grand zero dollars.

00:24:54.025 --> 00:24:55.086
How are we able to do that?

00:24:55.867 --> 00:24:57.347
We just asked a bunch of nice people.

00:24:57.407 --> 00:24:58.648
Now, we're doing a little bit of legwork,

00:24:59.128 --> 00:25:00.348
but you know we're going to release this

00:25:00.388 --> 00:25:00.608
thing,

00:25:00.628 --> 00:25:01.670
and it's going to bring us attention,

00:25:01.690 --> 00:25:02.730
and we're an attention economy.

00:25:03.630 --> 00:25:05.289
But the rising tide, man,

00:25:05.329 --> 00:25:06.211
it lifts all ships.

00:25:06.570 --> 00:25:07.211
So it should be pretty good.

00:25:07.290 --> 00:25:08.171
So zero doll hairs.

00:25:08.191 --> 00:25:09.672
It's all hairs.

00:25:09.692 --> 00:25:10.652
Yeah.

00:25:13.292 --> 00:25:13.992
Yeah, I mean,

00:25:14.053 --> 00:25:15.573
I think that that's one of the –

00:25:15.972 --> 00:25:17.233
when you look at what's out there right

00:25:17.273 --> 00:25:17.855
now, right?

00:25:17.875 --> 00:25:20.276
Like you can go to some of the

00:25:20.316 --> 00:25:21.758
paywall based things, right?

00:25:21.938 --> 00:25:22.518
And say, okay,

00:25:22.538 --> 00:25:23.499
I'm going to take this course.

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.279
I'm going to take this course.

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:25.319
I'm going to go to this thing.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.760
I mean, absolutely.

00:25:26.800 --> 00:25:27.382
Don't get me wrong.

00:25:27.402 --> 00:25:28.923
Like going to private practice meeting,

00:25:29.143 --> 00:25:31.265
you know, big time and great, great thing,

00:25:31.285 --> 00:25:31.484
right?

00:25:31.585 --> 00:25:32.546
It's worth the dollars.

00:25:32.605 --> 00:25:34.106
It's worth getting into peer to peer.

00:25:34.146 --> 00:25:36.128
It's worth doing those things that are

00:25:36.209 --> 00:25:37.829
organizationally available to us,

00:25:38.750 --> 00:25:40.051
but there's nothing where you're going to

00:25:40.071 --> 00:25:42.133
be able to learn something driving to work

00:25:42.153 --> 00:25:43.694
or driving home in that thirty minute

00:25:43.734 --> 00:25:44.035
commute.

00:25:44.675 --> 00:25:46.538
where you're gonna be like, oh wow,

00:25:46.557 --> 00:25:47.439
that actually works.

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.941
And then you encounter that that same day

00:25:50.261 --> 00:25:50.902
and you apply it,

00:25:50.962 --> 00:25:52.284
that's exactly what we're gonna be trying

00:25:52.304 --> 00:25:54.987
to do throughout this next year.

00:25:56.952 --> 00:25:57.913
Um, anything,

00:25:57.973 --> 00:25:59.934
sometimes it's harder to like,

00:25:59.954 --> 00:26:01.096
to make sure we didn't miss anything

00:26:01.115 --> 00:26:02.376
because you and I are like neck deep

00:26:02.396 --> 00:26:02.656
in it.

00:26:03.156 --> 00:26:04.637
So I'm trying to think if there's anything

00:26:04.657 --> 00:26:05.219
that we didn't.

00:26:05.558 --> 00:26:06.700
So we laid out what it is,

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.780
who it is.

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:09.362
I mean, I'll read some of the names,

00:26:09.501 --> 00:26:10.021
like, you know,

00:26:10.082 --> 00:26:11.522
not that I want to brag or anything,

00:26:11.563 --> 00:26:12.503
but brag away, man.

00:26:13.304 --> 00:26:13.825
Um,

00:26:13.884 --> 00:26:16.165
so let's read some of the names that

00:26:16.246 --> 00:26:16.807
are involved.

00:26:16.886 --> 00:26:18.147
I just talked to Chad Madden.

00:26:19.028 --> 00:26:21.430
Halfway through that episode recording for

00:26:21.470 --> 00:26:21.890
marketing,

00:26:21.990 --> 00:26:23.750
I needed to remind myself that I was

00:26:23.911 --> 00:26:27.534
actually his TA and supposed to ask a

00:26:27.574 --> 00:26:29.154
question because I was just like, mm-hmm,

00:26:29.174 --> 00:26:30.556
mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

00:26:30.576 --> 00:26:32.057
A little bit of fanboying him there.

00:26:32.876 --> 00:26:34.939
Money Literacy with Will Boyd and Alex

00:26:35.058 --> 00:26:35.459
Angar.

00:26:35.578 --> 00:26:38.260
David's coming in talking business models.

00:26:38.861 --> 00:26:40.642
Mick Gagliani is jumping on there doing

00:26:40.701 --> 00:26:42.223
sales psychology and a few others.

00:26:42.604 --> 00:26:45.365
I just recorded with Lucas Van Etten on

00:26:45.766 --> 00:26:46.846
hiring and culture.

00:26:46.967 --> 00:26:48.807
Again, and one of the questions was,

00:26:49.268 --> 00:26:50.528
How do you define culture?

00:26:50.568 --> 00:26:51.950
Because it gets thrown around stuff.

00:26:52.931 --> 00:26:53.671
Sturdy McKee,

00:26:53.931 --> 00:26:56.252
who just DM me a second ago,

00:26:56.313 --> 00:26:58.473
must be must be watching this financial

00:26:58.534 --> 00:26:59.474
ops and dashboards.

00:26:59.555 --> 00:27:01.517
And he literally shared a spreadsheet that

00:27:01.557 --> 00:27:01.856
he's like,

00:27:02.196 --> 00:27:03.897
happy to share a blank version of this

00:27:03.958 --> 00:27:04.578
if you want it.

00:27:05.318 --> 00:27:06.859
But he's like, these are the KPIs.

00:27:06.941 --> 00:27:08.541
And I'm like, KPIs?

00:27:08.761 --> 00:27:10.443
That's a buzzword that I never really knew

00:27:10.463 --> 00:27:12.565
about before graduating from PT school.

00:27:12.585 --> 00:27:13.806
And he's like, yeah,

00:27:13.846 --> 00:27:16.008
you can get forty nine KPIs.

00:27:16.087 --> 00:27:17.509
But what are you going to do with

00:27:17.549 --> 00:27:18.250
all that information?

00:27:18.289 --> 00:27:21.712
So my question was, which KPIs are K?

00:27:21.853 --> 00:27:22.673
Like, which are key?

00:27:22.753 --> 00:27:25.155
Like, which are the key KPIs?

00:27:25.817 --> 00:27:26.217
Yeah.

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.058
and a lot more.

00:27:29.118 --> 00:27:31.980
So I just, you know, Amit, Sturdy,

00:27:32.401 --> 00:27:33.461
Lisa Flexner,

00:27:33.862 --> 00:27:35.823
Steve Cohen talking about negotiation.

00:27:35.843 --> 00:27:37.903
I'm sure he'll drop some RTM information.

00:27:38.324 --> 00:27:39.464
Student loan management.

00:27:39.484 --> 00:27:41.685
We've got a certified loan professional

00:27:41.726 --> 00:27:42.246
coming on.

00:27:42.346 --> 00:27:45.288
I mentioned Joe Rivett, Esquire.

00:27:46.088 --> 00:27:46.729
That means he's a lawyer.

00:27:47.209 --> 00:27:49.711
When billing becomes liability,

00:27:49.790 --> 00:27:51.270
foundational reimbursement principles.

00:27:51.290 --> 00:27:52.731
Like literally he was like, hey,

00:27:52.771 --> 00:27:53.573
healthcare lawyer here.

00:27:53.593 --> 00:27:53.752
I should,

00:27:53.772 --> 00:27:55.034
you should probably have some law.

00:27:55.114 --> 00:27:55.534
And I was like,

00:27:56.635 --> 00:27:57.336
What should we have?

00:27:57.355 --> 00:27:58.696
And he's like, these four.

00:27:58.797 --> 00:27:59.336
And I was like,

00:27:59.676 --> 00:28:00.938
I'm not going to disagree with the lawyer.

00:28:00.978 --> 00:28:02.178
So he's going to come in and do

00:28:02.198 --> 00:28:02.759
this as well.

00:28:04.038 --> 00:28:04.259
Yeah.

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.519
I mean,

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:08.480
I think that's the goal is it's flexible,

00:28:08.520 --> 00:28:08.760
right?

00:28:08.800 --> 00:28:10.422
Like the difference between the MBA

00:28:10.561 --> 00:28:12.762
program that you pay two hundred grand for

00:28:13.403 --> 00:28:15.804
and listening to this day in and day

00:28:15.884 --> 00:28:16.025
out,

00:28:16.045 --> 00:28:18.526
week in and week out is if you

00:28:18.566 --> 00:28:19.185
need something,

00:28:19.226 --> 00:28:20.586
if you're looking to learn something,

00:28:21.547 --> 00:28:22.366
just hit us up.

00:28:22.586 --> 00:28:23.067
Let us know.

00:28:23.407 --> 00:28:23.627
Right.

00:28:23.667 --> 00:28:25.088
And we'll figure out how to work that

00:28:25.169 --> 00:28:25.989
into the content.

00:28:26.549 --> 00:28:28.451
we want it to be very much applied

00:28:28.490 --> 00:28:30.593
to the day in and day out operations,

00:28:30.613 --> 00:28:31.192
strategy,

00:28:31.252 --> 00:28:33.914
growth side of things in PT practice.

00:28:33.934 --> 00:28:34.635
And again,

00:28:34.695 --> 00:28:36.356
I say PT practice because we're PTs,

00:28:36.396 --> 00:28:38.979
but the lessons are not just PT only,

00:28:39.038 --> 00:28:39.199
right?

00:28:39.239 --> 00:28:40.700
Like if you're anybody in healthcare,

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.300
allied health,

00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:42.741
you want to grow your own practice in

00:28:42.781 --> 00:28:44.782
some sort of healthcare private practice

00:28:44.823 --> 00:28:45.282
spectrum,

00:28:45.544 --> 00:28:46.805
you're going to learn something from this

00:28:46.825 --> 00:28:47.944
because these people that we're putting

00:28:47.984 --> 00:28:49.646
together, they're so much brighter.

00:28:49.787 --> 00:28:50.948
Like they've been there,

00:28:50.968 --> 00:28:51.448
they've done that,

00:28:51.468 --> 00:28:52.628
they've done some really cool things.

00:28:52.648 --> 00:28:52.969
And I think

00:28:53.547 --> 00:28:55.628
This is what the whole goal is from

00:28:55.729 --> 00:28:56.930
day one of Pinecast, right?

00:28:56.970 --> 00:28:57.230
It's like,

00:28:57.289 --> 00:28:59.070
let's put some of the best minds behind

00:28:59.090 --> 00:28:59.432
the mic,

00:28:59.652 --> 00:29:01.432
let them have a platform to talk about

00:29:01.472 --> 00:29:01.873
what they know.

00:29:03.114 --> 00:29:04.635
Give them a couple drinks first.

00:29:05.655 --> 00:29:08.878
Then hand them the microphone and then ask

00:29:08.939 --> 00:29:10.279
a question and be smart enough to shut

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:10.420
up.

00:29:11.780 --> 00:29:13.622
And I think like that's where we would

00:29:13.642 --> 00:29:14.962
love to do with this too, right?

00:29:14.982 --> 00:29:17.525
Like create a community of people and

00:29:17.964 --> 00:29:19.645
create resources for other people because

00:29:19.806 --> 00:29:21.146
like we want the profession to get

00:29:21.207 --> 00:29:21.948
elevated, right?

00:29:22.008 --> 00:29:23.489
That's the whole goal with all of this

00:29:23.628 --> 00:29:25.930
is we all agree based upon the news

00:29:25.950 --> 00:29:28.612
that came out last week, right?

00:29:28.711 --> 00:29:30.173
We're all pissed, right?

00:29:30.212 --> 00:29:31.614
What are we gonna do about it?

00:29:31.653 --> 00:29:31.993
Yeah, exactly.

00:29:32.013 --> 00:29:32.694
What are we gonna do about it?

00:29:32.755 --> 00:29:33.694
Okay, great.

00:29:33.734 --> 00:29:35.916
So here's a way to level up and

00:29:35.936 --> 00:29:37.156
let's get ourselves better.

00:29:37.237 --> 00:29:39.159
Let's prove ourselves some value

00:29:39.699 --> 00:29:40.700
And the way to do that is to

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.740
have the education and the empowerment of

00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:44.403
like, hey, I know what I'm doing here.

00:29:44.423 --> 00:29:45.442
I'm going to take the chance.

00:29:45.983 --> 00:29:47.484
I have some resources and some, you know,

00:29:47.505 --> 00:29:49.105
kind of bumper guards around me that I'm

00:29:49.125 --> 00:29:51.327
going to be fine and go for it.

00:29:51.587 --> 00:29:52.648
And that's where good things happen.

00:29:52.669 --> 00:29:53.690
That's where innovation happens.

00:29:53.710 --> 00:29:55.590
That's where we advance our practice as a

00:29:55.631 --> 00:29:56.192
professional.

00:29:56.791 --> 00:29:57.593
And yeah,

00:29:57.613 --> 00:29:58.753
I'm just stoked to be a part of

00:29:58.814 --> 00:29:59.493
it.

00:29:59.534 --> 00:30:01.375
To make sure you don't miss this,

00:30:01.955 --> 00:30:02.916
the simplest thing,

00:30:02.936 --> 00:30:03.837
a couple different ways.

00:30:04.097 --> 00:30:05.398
One, subscribe to the podcast.

00:30:06.679 --> 00:30:06.778
Uh,

00:30:06.798 --> 00:30:07.999
subscribe to the YouTube channel because

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:10.220
we're releasing subsequent video as well.

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:12.500
I've been telling a lot of this, uh,

00:30:12.540 --> 00:30:14.260
the instructors, if you want slides,

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:14.740
great.

00:30:14.842 --> 00:30:15.741
If you feel like you need them.

00:30:15.781 --> 00:30:16.402
And a lot of them are like,

00:30:16.582 --> 00:30:19.482
I don't sturdy had a dashboard that was

00:30:19.542 --> 00:30:20.182
pretty visual.

00:30:20.323 --> 00:30:20.702
I was like,

00:30:20.782 --> 00:30:22.584
then we will share the screen if you

00:30:22.644 --> 00:30:22.983
need it.

00:30:23.023 --> 00:30:23.423
Can you list,

00:30:23.443 --> 00:30:25.785
can you learn from sturdy and KPIs without

00:30:25.825 --> 00:30:25.884
it?

00:30:25.924 --> 00:30:26.545
And just the podcast?

00:30:26.585 --> 00:30:26.865
Sure.

00:30:27.164 --> 00:30:28.326
But we're also going to have the video

00:30:28.465 --> 00:30:28.806
as well.

00:30:29.086 --> 00:30:33.707
So ptpinecast.com subscribe, Spotify, uh,

00:30:34.047 --> 00:30:35.147
you know, apple podcasts,

00:30:35.248 --> 00:30:36.127
all of the Pandora.

00:30:36.347 --> 00:30:37.328
People still listen to Pandora.

00:30:37.568 --> 00:30:38.349
I'm surprised.

00:30:38.970 --> 00:30:40.271
YouTube as well.

00:30:41.132 --> 00:30:42.292
And at ptpinecast.com,

00:30:42.313 --> 00:30:43.734
there'll be a little pop-up that says

00:30:43.795 --> 00:30:44.855
subscribe to the newsletter.

00:30:45.696 --> 00:30:46.798
That way you'll get like an update,

00:30:46.837 --> 00:30:48.239
like here's what we released this week.

00:30:48.739 --> 00:30:50.280
And I think the beauty for me,

00:30:50.300 --> 00:30:52.122
people like me in a podcast is if

00:30:52.142 --> 00:30:54.505
you miss some stuff or I went on

00:30:54.525 --> 00:30:56.586
vacation for a week, awesome, do that.

00:30:57.522 --> 00:30:58.344
you can always catch up.

00:30:58.423 --> 00:31:00.586
So download them, binge them later.

00:31:00.707 --> 00:31:01.567
So that's how you get it.

00:31:01.607 --> 00:31:02.949
So ptpinecast.com.

00:31:03.410 --> 00:31:04.691
That's what all the YouTubers are supposed

00:31:04.711 --> 00:31:04.990
to say.

00:31:05.010 --> 00:31:05.332
Subscribe.

00:31:05.432 --> 00:31:07.013
Make sure you smash that subscribe button.

00:31:07.034 --> 00:31:08.434
Make sure you smash that live button.

00:31:08.816 --> 00:31:09.836
All right, man, do that.

00:31:11.134 --> 00:31:12.015
That's my best image.

00:31:12.035 --> 00:31:13.215
That's what you do well.

00:31:13.236 --> 00:31:14.695
That's what you're supposed to do.

00:31:16.797 --> 00:31:17.557
I'm excited.

00:31:18.397 --> 00:31:20.377
It's always cool when you see an idea

00:31:20.577 --> 00:31:21.239
come to fruition.

00:31:21.278 --> 00:31:23.519
So I'm excited and definitely want to hear

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:26.161
more feedback from people.

00:31:26.760 --> 00:31:28.681
And we'll obviously be releasing clips of

00:31:28.701 --> 00:31:29.442
the episodes

00:31:30.675 --> 00:31:30.875
Um,

00:31:30.915 --> 00:31:32.477
what I've also thought we might be able

00:31:32.517 --> 00:31:35.298
to do is take the transcript,

00:31:35.598 --> 00:31:38.381
run it through the old AI box and

00:31:38.401 --> 00:31:40.281
make like a PDF one pager for each

00:31:40.342 --> 00:31:41.281
episode or something.

00:31:41.662 --> 00:31:42.843
So I don't want you to have to,

00:31:42.863 --> 00:31:43.282
I never hate,

00:31:43.383 --> 00:31:44.963
I've hated taking notes in PT school

00:31:45.243 --> 00:31:46.684
because I couldn't take notes and listen.

00:31:47.164 --> 00:31:47.885
So if I was taking notes,

00:31:47.925 --> 00:31:48.806
I wasn't really learning,

00:31:48.826 --> 00:31:49.926
but then I'd get home and be like,

00:31:49.987 --> 00:31:50.906
what the hell did I listen to?

00:31:51.208 --> 00:31:52.228
But I'm also not going to listen to

00:31:52.248 --> 00:31:52.909
the episode again.

00:31:53.709 --> 00:31:55.169
But that's why I had smart people that

00:31:55.209 --> 00:31:56.529
I studied with who took notes.

00:31:56.549 --> 00:31:57.549
And then I got to look at their

00:31:57.569 --> 00:31:57.670
notes.

00:31:57.690 --> 00:31:58.329
So I was like, oh, yeah,

00:31:58.970 --> 00:32:00.070
I forgot about that.

00:32:00.111 --> 00:32:01.010
So I was thinking about that.

00:32:01.211 --> 00:32:02.330
So I'm trying to make the solutions for

00:32:02.351 --> 00:32:03.852
people like me who maybe need a little

00:32:03.892 --> 00:32:07.492
visual reference after the spark notes on

00:32:07.553 --> 00:32:08.792
what was covered in class.

00:32:08.873 --> 00:32:09.432
All right.

00:32:12.153 --> 00:32:13.233
Is there anything else to do before we

00:32:13.253 --> 00:32:15.295
give our official sign off from this

00:32:15.335 --> 00:32:16.214
little live stream here?

00:32:16.555 --> 00:32:17.556
No, man, I'm pumped.

00:32:17.655 --> 00:32:18.736
I'm pumped to be a part of it.

00:32:18.776 --> 00:32:19.895
I think it'll be fun to bring some

00:32:19.915 --> 00:32:21.376
good minds together and see where things

00:32:21.416 --> 00:32:21.576
go.

00:32:21.636 --> 00:32:22.217
I mean, I think

00:32:22.717 --> 00:32:24.538
from everything from you know the the

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.182
couple episodes a week to to starting to

00:32:27.221 --> 00:32:28.903
put some in-person events together you

00:32:28.923 --> 00:32:31.967
know to run some stuff together put some

00:32:31.987 --> 00:32:33.588
mastermind things together i think it'll

00:32:33.608 --> 00:32:35.049
be really fun to see where this goes

00:32:35.109 --> 00:32:36.311
and what we can do to help push

00:32:36.352 --> 00:32:38.614
people you know get over that fear right

00:32:38.653 --> 00:32:40.496
like here's the education the only way to

00:32:40.536 --> 00:32:41.696
get over that fear is to have the

00:32:41.737 --> 00:32:42.137
knowledge

00:32:42.698 --> 00:32:43.659
that's the power, right?

00:32:43.719 --> 00:32:44.160
So like,

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:45.621
this is what we're trying to do is

00:32:45.661 --> 00:32:47.061
empower, you know, our profession,

00:32:47.082 --> 00:32:49.064
our peers go out and do it because,

00:32:49.084 --> 00:32:50.224
uh, it's risky,

00:32:50.285 --> 00:32:52.267
but the risk is worth the reward.

00:32:52.487 --> 00:32:53.928
So we're going to give you the,

00:32:54.088 --> 00:32:54.568
we're going to give you,

00:32:54.588 --> 00:32:56.109
it's bowling with the little bumpers.

00:32:56.431 --> 00:32:56.691
Yeah.

00:32:56.730 --> 00:32:57.571
That's the only way I can bowl.

00:32:58.251 --> 00:32:59.252
That's the only way I can bowl too.

00:32:59.272 --> 00:33:01.535
Uh, David Fathikani, the PT podcast,

00:33:01.555 --> 00:33:02.635
chief business correspondent.

00:33:02.957 --> 00:33:03.576
We'll talk to you soon.

00:33:03.616 --> 00:33:05.298
Thanks for helping us with this MBA for

00:33:05.318 --> 00:33:07.780
the DPT live kickoff stream.

00:33:07.820 --> 00:33:08.300
Thanks David.
