00:00:11.476 --> 00:00:13.057
Good morning, PT Breakfast Club,
00:00:13.098 --> 00:00:15.541
Tony Maritato, Jimmy McKay, Dave Kittle,
00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:17.082
coming in soon.
00:00:17.102 --> 00:00:19.144
Dave Kittle on the way, Jimmy McKay.
00:00:19.804 --> 00:00:20.225
On the way.
00:00:21.227 --> 00:00:22.408
Doing some plumbing early in the morning,
00:00:22.649 --> 00:00:22.888
Tony?
00:00:23.268 --> 00:00:25.010
Yeah, so here's the deal, guys,
00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:26.632
and this is the reality.
00:00:27.033 --> 00:00:28.815
So we had a ton of rain last night.
00:00:29.702 --> 00:00:31.085
We lost power this morning.
00:00:31.344 --> 00:00:33.426
Everything happens for a reason, right?
00:00:33.847 --> 00:00:35.709
So we lost power this morning.
00:00:36.348 --> 00:00:38.350
When we woke up, the power was out,
00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:39.171
came back on.
00:00:39.371 --> 00:00:39.712
Awesome.
00:00:39.752 --> 00:00:40.213
Hooray.
00:00:40.253 --> 00:00:41.634
But then I was hearing this
00:00:41.713 --> 00:00:43.454
beat and my dog freaks out
00:00:43.494 --> 00:00:44.496
every time he hears a beat
00:00:44.515 --> 00:00:45.536
because he thinks he's got
00:00:45.597 --> 00:00:46.357
an e-collar on.
00:00:46.417 --> 00:00:47.279
He's going to get shocked.
00:00:47.319 --> 00:00:48.018
Oh, yeah.
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:50.619
I'm looking everywhere.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:50.820
I'm like,
00:00:50.859 --> 00:00:53.582
none of the smoke detectors are beeping.
00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:55.865
Track it down to the basement.
00:00:56.466 --> 00:00:57.667
I hear a noise.
00:00:58.207 --> 00:01:00.249
And what had happened was I
00:01:00.308 --> 00:01:02.591
installed a battery backup
00:01:02.652 --> 00:01:04.132
sump pump years ago because
00:01:04.153 --> 00:01:05.194
our basement had flooded.
00:01:06.295 --> 00:01:07.956
One of the rubber gaskets cracked.
00:01:08.117 --> 00:01:09.858
It was spraying water across
00:01:09.918 --> 00:01:11.140
like this unfinished part
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:11.861
of the basement.
00:01:12.361 --> 00:01:14.121
That was also causing the
00:01:14.162 --> 00:01:15.143
beeping to happen.
00:01:15.183 --> 00:01:17.483
So, six thirty,
00:01:17.543 --> 00:01:18.905
six forty five this morning,
00:01:18.984 --> 00:01:19.846
I'm looking at this.
00:01:19.986 --> 00:01:21.307
I'm sending you guys pictures.
00:01:21.326 --> 00:01:23.028
I'm like, shoot, I got to figure this out.
00:01:23.067 --> 00:01:24.448
I don't have time to go to Home Depot.
00:01:24.929 --> 00:01:27.631
I got patients coming at nine.
00:01:28.191 --> 00:01:31.132
So I figured out a way, bypass the system,
00:01:31.192 --> 00:01:33.653
take the battery backup out,
00:01:34.174 --> 00:01:35.695
put a new gasket in.
00:01:36.676 --> 00:01:38.117
Right now, things are dry.
00:01:38.718 --> 00:01:39.298
But, you know,
00:01:39.317 --> 00:01:40.840
it leads to that conversation,
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.921
like how everything goes
00:01:42.941 --> 00:01:43.962
back to physical therapy
00:01:43.983 --> 00:01:45.243
and specifically business
00:01:45.343 --> 00:01:46.405
of physical therapy.
00:01:46.825 --> 00:01:47.426
So it's like,
00:01:47.646 --> 00:01:49.147
what is the lesson I could learn?
00:01:49.387 --> 00:01:50.727
Yes, I could have called a plumber,
00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:51.930
but I'm not the kind of guy
00:01:51.969 --> 00:01:52.769
to call a plumber.
00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:55.072
This is well within my scope
00:01:55.171 --> 00:01:56.253
of what I can handle.
00:01:56.713 --> 00:01:58.474
That patient's got low back pain,
00:01:58.775 --> 00:02:01.117
calf strain, shoulder impingement.
00:02:02.084 --> 00:02:03.085
He's probably not going to
00:02:03.105 --> 00:02:04.246
call a physical therapist
00:02:04.266 --> 00:02:04.927
because he feels like
00:02:04.968 --> 00:02:06.170
that's something within his
00:02:06.209 --> 00:02:07.370
scope of what he can deal
00:02:07.411 --> 00:02:09.652
with or just handle the nuisance pain.
00:02:11.716 --> 00:02:13.415
It would take something much,
00:02:13.515 --> 00:02:14.956
much more significant.
00:02:15.037 --> 00:02:16.877
It would take breaking through, you know,
00:02:16.956 --> 00:02:18.397
the cement floor.
00:02:18.937 --> 00:02:19.957
I'm never going to do that.
00:02:19.978 --> 00:02:20.877
I'm going to call a plumber.
00:02:21.578 --> 00:02:23.639
I had another deal where one
00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:25.218
of the main shutoff valves
00:02:25.258 --> 00:02:27.019
for the incoming water into
00:02:27.058 --> 00:02:28.780
the house had a problem.
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.300
I'm never going to deal with that.
00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:31.280
I'm calling a plumber,
00:02:31.781 --> 00:02:33.561
but these little jobs, I think,
00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:35.221
I think there's value makes
00:02:35.281 --> 00:02:36.161
me feel important.
00:02:36.181 --> 00:02:38.241
Makes me feel like I'm a man.
00:02:38.662 --> 00:02:40.723
toxic masculinity I can fix
00:02:40.764 --> 00:02:43.346
things with tools and I
00:02:43.385 --> 00:02:44.266
like that feeling and I
00:02:44.287 --> 00:02:45.508
like the feeling of showing
00:02:45.548 --> 00:02:47.829
my kids that hey you don't
00:02:47.868 --> 00:02:49.550
have to call a plumber when
00:02:49.591 --> 00:02:51.192
there's a leak you can fix
00:02:51.231 --> 00:02:53.873
the leak right yeah I think
00:02:53.913 --> 00:02:55.455
there's a um there's a
00:02:55.515 --> 00:02:57.657
learning component and a
00:02:57.717 --> 00:02:59.018
showing component to this
00:02:59.098 --> 00:03:00.500
and there's also like like
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.260
a money component too right because like
00:03:03.072 --> 00:03:04.573
If you didn't have the time,
00:03:04.712 --> 00:03:06.294
like I heard a great line, which is like,
00:03:06.313 --> 00:03:07.033
if you have a five hundred
00:03:07.054 --> 00:03:08.155
dollar problem and you have
00:03:08.215 --> 00:03:08.974
five hundred dollars,
00:03:09.354 --> 00:03:10.116
you don't have a problem
00:03:10.575 --> 00:03:11.516
unless you've decided to
00:03:11.537 --> 00:03:12.317
keep that problem.
00:03:13.418 --> 00:03:14.578
So I'm finishing my basement
00:03:14.657 --> 00:03:15.658
and I was just installing
00:03:15.679 --> 00:03:17.159
like laminate flooring and sheetrock.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.640
And it's not like anything I couldn't do.
00:03:20.421 --> 00:03:22.342
I'm a B minus at both of those things.
00:03:22.443 --> 00:03:22.582
Right.
00:03:22.603 --> 00:03:23.383
I'm going to get it done.
00:03:23.802 --> 00:03:24.063
Right.
00:03:24.984 --> 00:03:26.064
But I needed it done now.
00:03:26.205 --> 00:03:27.444
I was like, I need this thing done.
00:03:27.626 --> 00:03:28.346
Like, you know,
00:03:28.366 --> 00:03:29.387
I've been dragging my feet
00:03:29.407 --> 00:03:30.046
for way too long.
00:03:30.567 --> 00:03:32.588
So hired some people to do
00:03:32.609 --> 00:03:33.449
it and watching them do it
00:03:33.489 --> 00:03:35.491
for essentially five or six days.
00:03:35.510 --> 00:03:35.911
I was like, oh,
00:03:35.931 --> 00:03:36.632
maybe this was a little
00:03:36.671 --> 00:03:38.592
larger than I think I thought.
00:03:38.652 --> 00:03:38.752
Right.
00:03:38.772 --> 00:03:39.473
Because I can walk around
00:03:39.514 --> 00:03:41.235
room and go throw some sheetrock here,
00:03:41.354 --> 00:03:42.355
throw some flooring here.
00:03:42.376 --> 00:03:43.937
And in your mind, it's like poof, poof.
00:03:44.497 --> 00:03:45.198
But you're watching those
00:03:45.237 --> 00:03:46.158
things we've talked about.
00:03:48.132 --> 00:03:49.752
Figuring out your hourly rate,
00:03:49.772 --> 00:03:51.954
like here's your business component,
00:03:51.973 --> 00:03:53.014
like figuring out what your
00:03:53.094 --> 00:03:54.336
hourly rate is and being
00:03:54.376 --> 00:03:55.896
realistic and honest about that.
00:03:56.016 --> 00:03:57.798
And then saying, if you have a job to do,
00:03:58.057 --> 00:03:59.479
can you find someone to do
00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:02.461
it for less if you have other work,
00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:03.342
right?
00:04:03.361 --> 00:04:03.981
So not if you're just
00:04:04.002 --> 00:04:05.062
sitting there twiddling your thumbs.
00:04:05.899 --> 00:04:07.080
But if you're busy doing something,
00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:08.662
you're getting paid what
00:04:08.681 --> 00:04:10.402
your hourly rate is or more,
00:04:11.383 --> 00:04:13.126
why are you putting that thing off?
00:04:13.265 --> 00:04:14.727
If it's important to get done now,
00:04:14.867 --> 00:04:16.588
why are you not subbing that thing out?
00:04:17.089 --> 00:04:19.432
And we've talked about that in terms of PT,
00:04:19.791 --> 00:04:20.992
in terms of if your clinic
00:04:21.033 --> 00:04:22.714
has a plumbing problem too,
00:04:22.754 --> 00:04:24.235
like if you have nothing to
00:04:24.276 --> 00:04:26.098
do or if you have time, do it.
00:04:27.178 --> 00:04:28.060
Or why aren't you calling a
00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:29.380
plumber if it needs to be
00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:30.802
done to keep the clinic open?
00:04:30.923 --> 00:04:31.083
Yeah.
00:04:31.485 --> 00:04:32.685
If you have an influx,
00:04:32.865 --> 00:04:35.086
why are you not partnering more with,
00:04:35.166 --> 00:04:35.747
why are you not hiring
00:04:35.767 --> 00:04:37.889
another clinician to pay them to do that?
00:04:38.449 --> 00:04:39.430
Or why are you not hiring a
00:04:39.470 --> 00:04:40.651
physical therapist assistant?
00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:41.951
Why are you not hiring people to do?
00:04:41.992 --> 00:04:43.432
So it's this delicate balance.
00:04:43.452 --> 00:04:44.994
It's not throw money at any problem.
00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:47.115
I think the people who are
00:04:47.154 --> 00:04:48.716
good at business have this
00:04:48.776 --> 00:04:49.937
skill of figuring out what
00:04:49.997 --> 00:04:50.958
problems to solve.
00:04:51.257 --> 00:04:51.899
Money is a tool.
00:04:52.718 --> 00:04:53.779
Having the skill to figure
00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:55.180
out what tool is.
00:04:55.781 --> 00:04:56.401
I'm learning this.
00:04:57.314 --> 00:04:58.055
give you an example.
00:04:58.456 --> 00:04:59.355
Last night I was talking to
00:04:59.375 --> 00:05:00.916
some clinicians who were going to CSM.
00:05:01.137 --> 00:05:02.497
I flirted with this idea of
00:05:02.557 --> 00:05:05.819
doing an onsite video and photo shoot.
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.581
I'd fly in a photographer
00:05:07.661 --> 00:05:08.882
and a videographer or two,
00:05:08.961 --> 00:05:10.382
maybe one person who can do both.
00:05:10.783 --> 00:05:12.564
I'd rent out a cool looking location.
00:05:13.165 --> 00:05:14.305
Essentially you would pay me
00:05:14.846 --> 00:05:16.406
and the videographer you'd show up.
00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:18.567
We'd tell you what to do and what to say.
00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:20.449
I would have already pre-screened you.
00:05:20.550 --> 00:05:21.529
So I would do a part of this
00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:22.771
would be a mock interview for a
00:05:24.372 --> 00:05:26.673
You'd go home, and in a week or two,
00:05:27.333 --> 00:05:28.213
a Google Drive would show
00:05:28.252 --> 00:05:29.894
up in your inbox with six
00:05:29.954 --> 00:05:30.994
months' worth of content
00:05:31.014 --> 00:05:31.894
for you and your business.
00:05:32.254 --> 00:05:35.375
I'm sure you can do all those things,
00:05:35.394 --> 00:05:36.274
but why haven't you?
00:05:37.115 --> 00:05:38.136
Because there's a middle block,
00:05:38.516 --> 00:05:39.336
and maybe you don't know how,
00:05:39.375 --> 00:05:40.216
or maybe you're awkward.
00:05:40.755 --> 00:05:42.396
I'm going to give you this turnkey thing.
00:05:43.153 --> 00:05:44.454
So I bet Dave will have some
00:05:44.495 --> 00:05:45.836
good input for this.
00:05:45.896 --> 00:05:50.040
And I think Dave, definitely Joey, Albert,
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.302
and guys give me a hard
00:05:52.341 --> 00:05:53.041
time because they're like,
00:05:53.101 --> 00:05:54.564
why are you mowing the grass?
00:05:54.603 --> 00:05:55.603
Why are you blowing the
00:05:55.644 --> 00:05:57.305
leaves and making and doing these things?
00:05:58.127 --> 00:05:58.987
You could be doing,
00:05:59.226 --> 00:06:00.769
you could make more content,
00:06:00.809 --> 00:06:01.369
do other things.
00:06:01.408 --> 00:06:01.850
I'm like, yeah,
00:06:01.889 --> 00:06:04.291
but it makes me feel good
00:06:04.591 --> 00:06:05.271
to do those things.
00:06:06.192 --> 00:06:08.475
Makes me feel like I'm a dad.
00:06:08.576 --> 00:06:09.317
I'm a man.
00:06:09.437 --> 00:06:10.478
I'm an adult.
00:06:10.858 --> 00:06:13.480
Dave, what do you farm out?
00:06:13.821 --> 00:06:15.083
What do you do yourself that
00:06:15.122 --> 00:06:16.444
makes you feel good?
00:06:16.923 --> 00:06:18.005
Not just what do you farm out.
00:06:18.086 --> 00:06:21.569
How do you decide what to and what not to?
00:06:21.588 --> 00:06:23.211
What's your decision tree?
00:06:24.365 --> 00:06:24.505
Yeah,
00:06:24.526 --> 00:06:25.747
I don't have that close zoom up
00:06:25.767 --> 00:06:27.810
camera like Jimmy, but I would if I did,
00:06:27.870 --> 00:06:29.211
I would say, yeah,
00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:30.072
I would zoom in and I would
00:06:30.091 --> 00:06:32.214
say I delegate and
00:06:32.235 --> 00:06:33.656
outsource the things that I
00:06:33.836 --> 00:06:34.838
don't like doing.
00:06:36.098 --> 00:06:36.899
There's still some things
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.081
that I don't like doing,
00:06:38.341 --> 00:06:40.923
like like laundry,
00:06:40.963 --> 00:06:42.065
like I don't know who likes to do.
00:06:42.425 --> 00:06:44.048
Maybe that's therapy for some people,
00:06:44.208 --> 00:06:45.369
not me.
00:06:45.408 --> 00:06:45.750
Yeah.
00:06:48.194 --> 00:06:49.795
either I could be doing
00:06:50.435 --> 00:06:51.295
other activities that
00:06:51.377 --> 00:06:53.598
generate revenue and income
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.879
that far exceeds that task.
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.281
But now at the same time, it's like, well,
00:06:58.302 --> 00:07:01.343
uh, my wife will push back like, Oh, well,
00:07:01.403 --> 00:07:03.646
you know, our son, he needs to learn X, Y,
00:07:03.725 --> 00:07:04.307
Z. And I'm like, well,
00:07:04.326 --> 00:07:05.307
that's like years down the
00:07:05.346 --> 00:07:06.088
line right now.
00:07:06.148 --> 00:07:07.668
We need like the cleaning person.
00:07:07.689 --> 00:07:09.670
We did have, uh, this past Saturday,
00:07:09.771 --> 00:07:11.372
first time we didn't prep at all.
00:07:11.391 --> 00:07:12.153
We didn't do anything.
00:07:12.233 --> 00:07:13.553
Like Tony said, we didn't prep.
00:07:13.574 --> 00:07:14.254
We didn't do anything.
00:07:14.875 --> 00:07:15.634
That was wonderful.
00:07:16.235 --> 00:07:16.415
Um,
00:07:18.021 --> 00:07:19.302
Of course, there are certain things like,
00:07:19.322 --> 00:07:19.682
I don't know,
00:07:19.702 --> 00:07:20.543
I'm trying to think what else.
00:07:22.004 --> 00:07:22.706
There's certain things I
00:07:22.846 --> 00:07:23.906
guess like you just kind of
00:07:24.187 --> 00:07:25.228
maybe have to do nowadays,
00:07:25.288 --> 00:07:27.110
but still you can kind of
00:07:27.129 --> 00:07:28.091
cut it off in terms of like
00:07:28.151 --> 00:07:30.012
project size or if someone
00:07:30.052 --> 00:07:32.675
else has a better hang of it,
00:07:33.136 --> 00:07:34.817
like a better specialization than you do.
00:07:35.137 --> 00:07:35.298
And
00:07:35.918 --> 00:07:36.718
you have the money to
00:07:36.778 --> 00:07:37.779
obviously pay for it.
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.461
So I started looking back at
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.502
like other paradigms we
00:07:40.521 --> 00:07:41.242
already talk about,
00:07:41.302 --> 00:07:45.105
which is I want it good, fast and cheap.
00:07:45.586 --> 00:07:46.245
That's what we want.
00:07:46.565 --> 00:07:47.786
So I look at this as like my
00:07:47.826 --> 00:07:48.887
basement is like, well,
00:07:48.927 --> 00:07:50.228
obviously paying people is
00:07:50.249 --> 00:07:51.269
going to be more expensive
00:07:51.290 --> 00:07:52.630
than me doing it myself, right?
00:07:52.651 --> 00:07:53.951
Because myself would just be
00:07:55.225 --> 00:07:56.485
materials at my time.
00:07:56.846 --> 00:07:57.545
Although you have to take
00:07:57.565 --> 00:07:59.427
your time into consideration now,
00:07:59.887 --> 00:08:01.408
but I'd be paying myself.
00:08:01.447 --> 00:08:02.848
If I was doing this hourly,
00:08:03.567 --> 00:08:04.569
the project would actually
00:08:04.588 --> 00:08:06.389
cost me way more than what I'm paying it.
00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:07.589
Cause these guys are going
00:08:07.610 --> 00:08:08.870
to get done in five or six days.
00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:10.031
It's going to take me two
00:08:10.071 --> 00:08:11.992
months worth of Sundays and
00:08:12.052 --> 00:08:12.932
I'm going to hate it.
00:08:13.672 --> 00:08:14.432
I'm not, I'm,
00:08:14.512 --> 00:08:15.572
I'm a little bit of a handy guy,
00:08:15.593 --> 00:08:16.372
but not really guys.
00:08:16.413 --> 00:08:17.113
Let's be honest here.
00:08:17.834 --> 00:08:19.014
And it's not going to be as good.
00:08:19.596 --> 00:08:20.115
Like these guys are,
00:08:20.377 --> 00:08:21.798
these guys are knocking it out faster,
00:08:21.877 --> 00:08:22.137
better.
00:08:22.298 --> 00:08:22.978
And if they,
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:24.920
if I'm doing the math and I'm
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.622
actually saying what my time is worth,
00:08:26.983 --> 00:08:28.163
it is going to be better,
00:08:28.244 --> 00:08:29.444
faster and cheaper.
00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:30.846
So I think that was the,
00:08:30.867 --> 00:08:32.087
that's sort of the paradigm
00:08:32.107 --> 00:08:32.668
I'm going through.
00:08:32.928 --> 00:08:33.789
Bookkeeping is something
00:08:33.809 --> 00:08:34.590
that freaks me out.
00:08:35.191 --> 00:08:35.451
Right.
00:08:35.551 --> 00:08:37.293
Like one little mistake there.
00:08:37.352 --> 00:08:37.633
Right.
00:08:37.673 --> 00:08:38.232
Like it's like,
00:08:38.833 --> 00:08:40.235
I don't know what I'm doing, like,
00:08:40.294 --> 00:08:41.635
but I know it needs to be done.
00:08:41.796 --> 00:08:42.716
Death and taxes.
00:08:43.177 --> 00:08:44.717
So do I pay someone to do that?
00:08:44.918 --> 00:08:45.438
I do now.
00:08:45.599 --> 00:08:46.559
I used to do it on my own.
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:47.460
I used to try to figure it out.
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:48.441
I'm like, what am I doing?
00:08:48.541 --> 00:08:49.140
I hate this.
00:08:49.201 --> 00:08:50.162
It looms over me.
00:08:50.682 --> 00:08:51.903
So good, fast and cheap.
00:08:52.683 --> 00:08:53.664
I sort of do that math now.
00:08:54.537 --> 00:08:55.457
Yeah, I agree.
00:08:55.498 --> 00:08:56.778
Those are the things like I
00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.520
like the physical activities.
00:08:59.322 --> 00:09:01.384
But then like I did all the
00:09:01.404 --> 00:09:02.686
construction in every one
00:09:02.725 --> 00:09:04.268
of the clinics that I've ever opened.
00:09:04.807 --> 00:09:06.769
Everything from like drywall
00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:08.631
to painting to, you know,
00:09:08.652 --> 00:09:10.674
building the reception desk, everything.
00:09:11.923 --> 00:09:12.903
It was really,
00:09:13.384 --> 00:09:16.004
really bad for the first couple clinics.
00:09:16.065 --> 00:09:17.504
And then I realized, oh,
00:09:17.585 --> 00:09:18.725
this is why we put three
00:09:18.764 --> 00:09:20.885
coats of mud on a drywall
00:09:20.926 --> 00:09:22.245
joint and not just one.
00:09:22.265 --> 00:09:24.145
So I got pretty good at it.
00:09:24.505 --> 00:09:26.506
But like the physical things I like,
00:09:26.547 --> 00:09:27.807
but then when it came time
00:09:28.067 --> 00:09:29.927
to do our own basement at the house,
00:09:29.986 --> 00:09:31.028
I was like, heck no,
00:09:31.447 --> 00:09:32.668
because it was completely
00:09:32.748 --> 00:09:34.548
unfinished basements, just studs.
00:09:35.008 --> 00:09:36.009
We wanted drywall.
00:09:36.028 --> 00:09:36.989
We wanted electric.
00:09:37.028 --> 00:09:38.448
We wanted, you know, everything.
00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:40.750
We hired it out.
00:09:41.331 --> 00:09:42.773
The kitchen, you guys were around.
00:09:42.793 --> 00:09:44.974
I had all the kitchen cabinets refaced.
00:09:45.335 --> 00:09:46.515
Heck no, I'm not doing that.
00:09:47.015 --> 00:09:47.697
Hired it out.
00:09:47.756 --> 00:09:48.317
It was amazing.
00:09:48.356 --> 00:09:49.697
And I will say there's value
00:09:49.758 --> 00:09:51.080
in this also in the sense
00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.541
that when I do a job,
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.003
I am never happy with the job.
00:09:55.482 --> 00:09:56.985
I see every imperfection.
00:09:57.085 --> 00:09:58.166
I see every mistake.
00:09:58.985 --> 00:10:00.187
I'm the kind of person when
00:10:00.226 --> 00:10:01.567
somebody else does a job,
00:10:02.149 --> 00:10:03.190
I probably have rose
00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:04.311
colored glasses and I see
00:10:04.431 --> 00:10:05.412
everything as amazing.
00:10:05.491 --> 00:10:06.332
I know there are other
00:10:06.373 --> 00:10:07.714
people who see mistakes in
00:10:07.854 --> 00:10:08.715
everybody's work,
00:10:09.674 --> 00:10:11.277
but I'm just half the time
00:10:11.297 --> 00:10:12.217
I'm just paying because I
00:10:12.238 --> 00:10:13.558
don't want to see all my own mistakes.
00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:14.840
So this is the kitchen I'm
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:15.961
sitting in and I can like I
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.902
don't I won't even like
00:10:17.062 --> 00:10:18.383
look up into the left over
00:10:18.423 --> 00:10:19.104
here because there's a
00:10:19.264 --> 00:10:20.424
crown molding thing that's
00:10:20.504 --> 00:10:21.365
chipped and I'm just like.
00:10:24.312 --> 00:10:25.413
but who do you got to blame?
00:10:25.653 --> 00:10:26.953
Like nobody, right?
00:10:26.974 --> 00:10:28.234
Like nobody is to blame.
00:10:28.434 --> 00:10:28.534
Look,
00:10:28.774 --> 00:10:29.794
we're getting quoted on our own
00:10:29.855 --> 00:10:30.596
podcast here.
00:10:31.096 --> 00:10:32.177
People don't pay you to do stuff.
00:10:32.197 --> 00:10:33.096
People pay you so they don't
00:10:33.138 --> 00:10:34.217
have to do the stuff themselves.
00:10:34.238 --> 00:10:34.398
Yeah.
00:10:34.418 --> 00:10:35.078
Like you said,
00:10:35.119 --> 00:10:36.919
like I wasn't really a handy
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.240
guy when I bought this house, but like,
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.500
then I got like a good ride
00:10:39.541 --> 00:10:41.423
on mower and I got some good, like,
00:10:42.123 --> 00:10:43.783
like backpack leaf blower.
00:10:44.404 --> 00:10:46.066
So like, for me, that is like,
00:10:46.346 --> 00:10:48.366
if you have the right tools and,
00:10:48.787 --> 00:10:50.868
And no offense, but a backpack leaf blower,
00:10:51.187 --> 00:10:51.548
point.
00:10:52.807 --> 00:10:54.889
But when I'm done, I see the work.
00:10:54.948 --> 00:10:55.548
It's like, it's done.
00:10:55.568 --> 00:10:56.349
There are no leaves here.
00:10:56.389 --> 00:10:57.049
There's no whatever.
00:10:57.690 --> 00:10:58.830
The sheetrock thing is a
00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:00.129
little more complicated in
00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:00.931
terms of steps.
00:11:01.051 --> 00:11:02.850
But take this to your business and say,
00:11:03.211 --> 00:11:04.631
okay, do I like doing this?
00:11:05.591 --> 00:11:07.393
Yes, we should make a decision tree.
00:11:07.413 --> 00:11:07.972
Just give it out.
00:11:08.013 --> 00:11:09.572
There's our lead generator.
00:11:09.653 --> 00:11:10.653
Do you farm this out lead
00:11:10.692 --> 00:11:12.433
generator decision tree?
00:11:12.453 --> 00:11:13.413
Do I like doing this?
00:11:13.754 --> 00:11:13.974
No.
00:11:14.434 --> 00:11:15.514
The other thing too is,
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.522
And I think I talked about
00:11:17.562 --> 00:11:19.283
this before is I used to
00:11:19.302 --> 00:11:20.144
have a couple of people
00:11:20.203 --> 00:11:22.025
help me with my podcast and
00:11:22.145 --> 00:11:23.267
they would do different tasks.
00:11:24.028 --> 00:11:26.830
And I had to know my personality type.
00:11:27.591 --> 00:11:29.312
One of my personality components is, whoa,
00:11:29.332 --> 00:11:30.673
like I need other people to like me.
00:11:30.933 --> 00:11:32.034
Like that's the thing about me.
00:11:32.054 --> 00:11:34.076
Like that's why I always say yes.
00:11:34.136 --> 00:11:34.376
Right.
00:11:35.138 --> 00:11:37.600
And I was keeping tasks from
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:38.860
other people on the team.
00:11:39.562 --> 00:11:40.763
Like boring tasks.
00:11:41.222 --> 00:11:42.783
Jimmy thinks they're boring tasks.
00:11:43.384 --> 00:11:44.164
Then we did this like
00:11:44.205 --> 00:11:45.326
personality assessment,
00:11:45.365 --> 00:11:46.606
the strength finders thing.
00:11:47.006 --> 00:11:48.327
Turns out another person on
00:11:48.347 --> 00:11:50.249
the team loves doing spreadsheet tasks.
00:11:50.308 --> 00:11:51.090
Jimmy hates it,
00:11:51.409 --> 00:11:52.350
but I would never give her
00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:54.011
the task because I didn't
00:11:54.032 --> 00:11:55.331
want to give her a punishment.
00:11:55.451 --> 00:11:56.932
Meanwhile, she's sitting there going, man,
00:11:56.994 --> 00:11:57.553
I wish I had more
00:11:57.594 --> 00:11:58.674
spreadsheet stuff to do.
00:11:59.394 --> 00:12:01.255
So it is also like, look around what,
00:12:01.495 --> 00:12:03.616
what resources you already have,
00:12:03.657 --> 00:12:04.557
just because you think it's
00:12:04.577 --> 00:12:05.398
something nobody likes.
00:12:05.418 --> 00:12:07.578
Like my buddy loves fixing stuff.
00:12:07.599 --> 00:12:07.918
He's like, Oh,
00:12:07.938 --> 00:12:08.700
I'd love to come over and
00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:10.280
fix your whatever tire.
00:12:10.321 --> 00:12:10.801
I'm like, really?
00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:10.921
I,
00:12:11.321 --> 00:12:12.341
I didn't want to ask because I didn't
00:12:12.361 --> 00:12:12.981
want to impose.
00:12:13.422 --> 00:12:13.881
Meanwhile,
00:12:14.022 --> 00:12:15.062
I helped him with a couple
00:12:15.082 --> 00:12:15.682
different things.
00:12:15.842 --> 00:12:18.924
So know what's at your disposal already.
00:12:18.965 --> 00:12:19.384
So what's,
00:12:19.524 --> 00:12:21.346
what's going on with sword
00:12:21.405 --> 00:12:22.767
health and your post?
00:12:23.114 --> 00:12:23.433
All right,
00:12:23.494 --> 00:12:25.315
so we can only read the tea
00:12:25.355 --> 00:12:26.576
leaves from the outside, right?
00:12:26.596 --> 00:12:28.376
So I'm working on getting
00:12:28.517 --> 00:12:30.177
somebody from the organization.
00:12:30.217 --> 00:12:31.859
There might be some legal things,
00:12:31.918 --> 00:12:32.899
but next week we'll have
00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:34.240
somebody from the actual organization.
00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.981
I don't want her to talk about
00:12:37.332 --> 00:12:37.714
Sword.
00:12:37.793 --> 00:12:39.115
I want her to talk about her experience.
00:12:39.235 --> 00:12:39.995
I only want her to talk
00:12:40.035 --> 00:12:41.476
about what she can talk about.
00:12:41.658 --> 00:12:43.559
And she's agreed to that as well.
00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:45.421
But Sword Health is this
00:12:45.562 --> 00:12:47.003
AI-driven app that's going
00:12:47.023 --> 00:12:48.884
to give... I mean,
00:12:48.924 --> 00:12:49.765
how would you describe it?
00:12:49.785 --> 00:12:52.609
Like AI-driven... The future
00:12:52.649 --> 00:12:53.549
of physical therapy?
00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:54.831
It's going to wipe out all...
00:12:56.794 --> 00:12:57.995
It must be valuable.
00:12:58.035 --> 00:12:58.917
Look at Dave rolling his
00:12:59.057 --> 00:12:59.736
eyes at a podcast.
00:13:00.197 --> 00:13:01.118
It must be valuable because
00:13:01.138 --> 00:13:02.359
it's valued at three billion.
00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.379
We've never seen companies
00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.581
have a billion dollar
00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:06.523
valuation and then tank before.
00:13:07.123 --> 00:13:08.764
But they just laid out.
00:13:08.783 --> 00:13:10.645
They've just laid off like it's seven.
00:13:10.686 --> 00:13:11.647
It's like let's just call it
00:13:11.687 --> 00:13:12.687
around twenty percent of
00:13:12.706 --> 00:13:14.148
their clinicians.
00:13:14.187 --> 00:13:15.249
But apparently it's like it
00:13:15.269 --> 00:13:16.389
was like seventeen people.
00:13:16.470 --> 00:13:17.270
So I'm not a math guy.
00:13:17.571 --> 00:13:19.793
So it's like they have like
00:13:19.832 --> 00:13:20.692
seventy five P.T.
00:13:20.673 --> 00:13:20.712
's.
00:13:21.626 --> 00:13:22.967
on staff at a company worth
00:13:22.988 --> 00:13:23.947
three billion dollars that
00:13:24.008 --> 00:13:26.509
delivers pt so laying them
00:13:26.589 --> 00:13:28.649
off like was the demand not
00:13:28.690 --> 00:13:29.630
there because they're not
00:13:29.691 --> 00:13:30.490
releasing a whole ton of
00:13:30.530 --> 00:13:31.532
information was the demand
00:13:31.572 --> 00:13:33.592
not there um some people
00:13:33.633 --> 00:13:34.893
have said hey I think it's
00:13:34.913 --> 00:13:35.774
just a sign of things to
00:13:35.813 --> 00:13:36.793
come people thought this
00:13:36.813 --> 00:13:37.573
would take off and it
00:13:37.594 --> 00:13:38.534
didn't so there's a demand
00:13:38.595 --> 00:13:40.054
issue or are they trying to
00:13:40.095 --> 00:13:42.035
look lean before going
00:13:42.115 --> 00:13:43.076
public and this is where
00:13:43.096 --> 00:13:44.677
like jimmy's knowledge sort
00:13:44.697 --> 00:13:45.337
of stops like I don't
00:13:45.357 --> 00:13:46.238
really understand that but
00:13:46.498 --> 00:13:47.438
I get it like to a point
00:13:47.479 --> 00:13:48.458
like hey if you want to go
00:13:48.499 --> 00:13:49.440
public you want to look like
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:50.821
You're not bleeding money or
00:13:50.841 --> 00:13:51.600
you're not spending money.
00:13:51.741 --> 00:13:53.783
Although I got to be honest with you.
00:13:53.842 --> 00:13:54.724
If I were an investor and
00:13:54.744 --> 00:13:55.465
you're blowing out twenty
00:13:55.485 --> 00:13:56.385
percent of the PTs,
00:13:56.865 --> 00:13:57.447
unless they're trying to
00:13:57.486 --> 00:13:59.629
say we don't need PTs.
00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:00.568
So we're going to be able to
00:14:00.589 --> 00:14:01.931
keep our costs crazy low.
00:14:01.951 --> 00:14:03.591
We don't need this to keep up.
00:14:04.091 --> 00:14:06.654
So Dave, are you bearish or bullish?
00:14:06.695 --> 00:14:11.078
What is the thing where you don't like?
00:14:11.099 --> 00:14:11.899
Bull market is good.
00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:13.740
So I am bearish.
00:14:14.061 --> 00:14:14.542
Dave's a bear.
00:14:15.341 --> 00:14:15.903
AI driven care.
00:14:16.263 --> 00:14:16.964
I don't really know.
00:14:18.597 --> 00:14:19.057
What do you think?
00:14:19.238 --> 00:14:19.638
What do you think?
00:14:20.778 --> 00:14:20.938
You know,
00:14:20.979 --> 00:14:21.839
here's here's how it's going to
00:14:21.859 --> 00:14:23.239
unfold in the next couple minutes,
00:14:23.278 --> 00:14:23.739
five minutes.
00:14:24.058 --> 00:14:26.700
Tony's going to be very overly optimistic.
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.899
I'm going to be, in my opinion,
00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:30.620
very realistic on the
00:14:30.801 --> 00:14:33.341
actual the actual like
00:14:33.881 --> 00:14:35.902
component of sword.
00:14:35.961 --> 00:14:36.182
Right.
00:14:36.201 --> 00:14:37.961
So it's I mean,
00:14:38.121 --> 00:14:39.043
I had a therapist that kind
00:14:39.082 --> 00:14:40.283
of like worked for them and
00:14:40.322 --> 00:14:40.962
me and whatever.
00:14:40.982 --> 00:14:42.003
So I know a little bit of
00:14:42.023 --> 00:14:43.323
the insider stuff and I
00:14:43.344 --> 00:14:44.203
won't comment much.
00:14:44.764 --> 00:14:46.666
So don't go inside or stuff like that,
00:14:46.946 --> 00:14:48.067
but just like explain like
00:14:48.466 --> 00:14:49.788
how does sort of work if I'm a patient,
00:14:49.869 --> 00:14:51.129
how does sort of work if I'm a clinician?
00:14:51.149 --> 00:14:53.871
OK, so as far as I understand,
00:14:53.951 --> 00:14:56.033
it's fairly similar to Hinge Health.
00:14:56.073 --> 00:14:56.794
We just you know,
00:14:56.934 --> 00:14:57.916
I think I ripped Hinge
00:14:57.936 --> 00:14:58.716
Health last week or the
00:14:58.735 --> 00:14:59.756
week before or something.
00:14:59.817 --> 00:15:01.177
So I mean, very,
00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:02.379
very similar in terms of
00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:04.321
like it's a typically like
00:15:04.341 --> 00:15:06.383
a free benefit to employees
00:15:06.462 --> 00:15:09.365
that work for bigger companies and sword.
00:15:09.426 --> 00:15:10.086
And, you know,
00:15:10.125 --> 00:15:11.427
the Hinge Health of the world, they
00:15:12.227 --> 00:15:14.149
go to these big companies.
00:15:14.188 --> 00:15:15.730
They say, Hey, we can, you know,
00:15:16.230 --> 00:15:17.191
how much did you pay last
00:15:17.211 --> 00:15:19.131
year in musculoskeletal, you know,
00:15:19.511 --> 00:15:22.293
lost work, you know, whatever medication,
00:15:22.573 --> 00:15:24.134
whatever their component of, you know,
00:15:24.556 --> 00:15:25.375
paid healthcare
00:15:25.416 --> 00:15:27.636
expenditures for their employees,
00:15:28.177 --> 00:15:30.899
back pain, MRI, physical therapy,
00:15:31.099 --> 00:15:32.100
you know, missed work,
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:32.659
whatever it might be.
00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:34.701
And that could be some like manual labor,
00:15:34.981 --> 00:15:35.642
large companies.
00:15:35.701 --> 00:15:36.743
It could also be, you know,
00:15:36.763 --> 00:15:37.442
like tech companies.
00:15:37.482 --> 00:15:38.624
It's like, sure.
00:15:38.644 --> 00:15:39.283
They go after a ton of
00:15:39.303 --> 00:15:40.004
different employers.
00:15:41.374 --> 00:15:42.855
The employees get this free benefit.
00:15:42.895 --> 00:15:43.836
Tony mentioned, you know,
00:15:43.897 --> 00:15:45.139
his family every so often
00:15:45.178 --> 00:15:46.419
will send him screenshots like, Hey,
00:15:46.961 --> 00:15:47.662
what is this thing?
00:15:47.682 --> 00:15:49.504
What's this, you know, free hinge health,
00:15:49.624 --> 00:15:50.365
sword health, whatever.
00:15:51.267 --> 00:15:51.527
Um,
00:15:53.638 --> 00:15:55.179
It's not going to be around in ten years.
00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:55.941
None of these companies.
00:15:57.322 --> 00:15:58.102
At the end of the day,
00:15:58.302 --> 00:15:59.163
we talked about this before.
00:16:00.024 --> 00:16:02.327
And I know I'm like... I
00:16:02.388 --> 00:16:03.448
actually did a paid
00:16:03.489 --> 00:16:05.150
telehealth visit two or
00:16:05.171 --> 00:16:06.412
three weeks ago to help a friend,
00:16:06.491 --> 00:16:07.592
to help another company.
00:16:07.994 --> 00:16:09.554
I wanted to challenge my biases.
00:16:10.255 --> 00:16:13.019
And by doing that, they wanted help.
00:16:13.119 --> 00:16:13.379
I said...
00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:17.592
You want me to treat pro
00:16:17.613 --> 00:16:18.714
bono through your company,
00:16:18.933 --> 00:16:19.615
but you're going to pay me,
00:16:19.654 --> 00:16:20.414
but the patient is,
00:16:20.635 --> 00:16:21.556
we're not billing their Medicare.
00:16:21.576 --> 00:16:22.677
We're not paying, whatever.
00:16:22.697 --> 00:16:23.898
It's just like a trial pro bono.
00:16:24.197 --> 00:16:24.778
Yeah, let's do it.
00:16:24.818 --> 00:16:27.019
So I did a paid telehealth
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.341
visit a couple of weeks ago,
00:16:28.601 --> 00:16:30.143
an older woman, her ankle,
00:16:31.683 --> 00:16:32.443
and they paid me two
00:16:32.464 --> 00:16:33.264
hundred fifty dollars just
00:16:33.404 --> 00:16:34.765
for my time or whatever to do it.
00:16:35.225 --> 00:16:36.687
The therapist was on a
00:16:36.727 --> 00:16:38.308
laptop at the patient's home.
00:16:40.355 --> 00:16:41.797
With chronic ankle issues,
00:16:41.836 --> 00:16:44.317
gait abnormalities, walking, limping,
00:16:44.357 --> 00:16:44.999
all that type of stuff.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.679
And I did that.
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.260
I got paid.
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:50.121
I delivered what I could
00:16:51.062 --> 00:16:52.403
technologically or digitally or whatever.
00:16:53.163 --> 00:16:54.423
And I needed to mention that
00:16:54.583 --> 00:16:57.145
because I still wanted to go into that.
00:16:57.285 --> 00:16:58.886
I wanted to challenge my biases,
00:16:58.927 --> 00:17:00.648
bring this back to the podcast and say,
00:17:01.688 --> 00:17:02.308
I did this.
00:17:02.908 --> 00:17:05.411
I did it with my best foot forward.
00:17:06.652 --> 00:17:08.292
And I stay...
00:17:09.280 --> 00:17:11.882
Burnley, that this is an absolute joke.
00:17:11.922 --> 00:17:13.321
Telehealth and virtual
00:17:13.342 --> 00:17:16.083
physical therapy for actually delivering,
00:17:16.542 --> 00:17:17.843
you know, therapeutic exercise.
00:17:18.063 --> 00:17:19.503
I believe and I think I've
00:17:19.743 --> 00:17:20.864
trained myself enough to do
00:17:20.884 --> 00:17:21.703
this over video the way
00:17:21.763 --> 00:17:23.085
Tony's done on video.
00:17:23.545 --> 00:17:25.224
So I'm sorry that emotional
00:17:25.265 --> 00:17:26.984
side has come into the conversation.
00:17:27.365 --> 00:17:28.905
But you asked about, you know,
00:17:28.925 --> 00:17:29.826
sword health and hinge health.
00:17:29.846 --> 00:17:30.506
That's basically it,
00:17:30.546 --> 00:17:32.767
like the whole offering.
00:17:35.362 --> 00:17:36.083
Wait, hang on a sec.
00:17:36.482 --> 00:17:36.823
What are,
00:17:36.903 --> 00:17:38.483
what was the specifics that you
00:17:38.544 --> 00:17:40.664
did not like from that experience?
00:17:40.704 --> 00:17:43.207
I'm just curious.
00:17:43.227 --> 00:17:43.926
Like, did you like,
00:17:44.007 --> 00:17:45.028
did you not like that you
00:17:45.048 --> 00:17:46.909
couldn't like grab what you
00:17:46.949 --> 00:17:48.088
needed to grab and touch
00:17:48.108 --> 00:17:48.869
what you needed to touch?
00:17:48.890 --> 00:17:50.750
Or did you not feel like the
00:17:50.790 --> 00:17:52.451
patient understood what you
00:17:52.471 --> 00:17:54.712
were trying to get them to do or say?
00:17:55.834 --> 00:17:58.214
But both, both of those, both of those,
00:17:58.434 --> 00:17:59.476
both those components, uh,
00:18:01.007 --> 00:18:04.571
Like it takes more words to
00:18:04.652 --> 00:18:06.433
actually have someone do a thing,
00:18:06.473 --> 00:18:08.877
get in a different position, stand up,
00:18:08.938 --> 00:18:09.458
walk, you know,
00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:11.059
to do like a pre and post test.
00:18:11.121 --> 00:18:13.963
It makes the evaluation and
00:18:14.003 --> 00:18:15.846
the therapeutic exercise easier.
00:18:16.027 --> 00:18:16.646
in my opinion,
00:18:17.467 --> 00:18:19.567
it takes longer to actually
00:18:19.627 --> 00:18:20.567
get someone to do something.
00:18:20.587 --> 00:18:21.307
Now, in this one,
00:18:21.807 --> 00:18:23.868
it was sixty something or whatever.
00:18:23.949 --> 00:18:26.709
So like, how do I do balance drills?
00:18:26.749 --> 00:18:27.930
How do I do a balance assessment?
00:18:27.950 --> 00:18:29.390
How do I do single leg stance, whatever?
00:18:29.470 --> 00:18:31.130
And she of course,
00:18:31.150 --> 00:18:32.030
she had a home health aide
00:18:32.050 --> 00:18:33.171
and the therapist was there or whatever.
00:18:33.211 --> 00:18:34.911
But if this is a seventy
00:18:34.951 --> 00:18:36.031
year old patient that has
00:18:36.132 --> 00:18:36.892
no one in their home,
00:18:37.692 --> 00:18:39.051
how in the world can you do
00:18:39.071 --> 00:18:39.913
a balance assessment?
00:18:40.032 --> 00:18:41.452
You cannot you cannot do it safely.
00:18:42.292 --> 00:18:43.894
And it takes extra words, Tony.
00:18:43.914 --> 00:18:44.615
It takes extra.
00:18:45.576 --> 00:18:46.797
Yes, you can learn it over time.
00:18:46.977 --> 00:18:47.857
I believe because I'm on
00:18:47.877 --> 00:18:48.838
this podcast with you guys.
00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:50.819
I think I'm pretty good with words.
00:18:50.881 --> 00:18:52.342
I think I can communicate
00:18:52.362 --> 00:18:54.423
things as efficiently as
00:18:54.463 --> 00:18:56.846
possible over a video to a
00:18:57.326 --> 00:18:58.326
to a potential patient.
00:18:58.747 --> 00:18:59.607
It just takes longer.
00:18:59.788 --> 00:19:01.048
It's less efficient than in person.
00:19:01.068 --> 00:19:03.010
What were you going to say, Jimmy?
00:19:05.273 --> 00:19:07.196
I appear overly optimistic
00:19:07.217 --> 00:19:08.738
for things like this, like technology.
00:19:08.959 --> 00:19:10.200
I think I'm just... Because
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.101
I referenced that
00:19:11.161 --> 00:19:12.182
personality test I took.
00:19:12.563 --> 00:19:13.584
I like futurism.
00:19:14.163 --> 00:19:15.266
I like seeing what could be
00:19:15.326 --> 00:19:16.267
and being like... And
00:19:16.287 --> 00:19:17.208
trying to look through the
00:19:17.248 --> 00:19:18.528
future with rose-colored glasses.
00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:19.410
I don't...
00:19:20.090 --> 00:19:21.692
And but I'm smart enough and
00:19:21.711 --> 00:19:22.311
been around long enough to
00:19:22.332 --> 00:19:22.791
know it's going to be
00:19:22.832 --> 00:19:23.491
somewhere in the middle.
00:19:23.791 --> 00:19:24.491
Like there's going to be
00:19:24.571 --> 00:19:25.613
some components where it's
00:19:25.673 --> 00:19:27.272
good because every neuro PT
00:19:27.413 --> 00:19:28.913
that I knew when telehealth
00:19:28.933 --> 00:19:29.773
was coming out was like, well,
00:19:29.794 --> 00:19:30.534
this isn't going to work
00:19:30.554 --> 00:19:31.914
for me because I've got, you know,
00:19:32.255 --> 00:19:33.055
and I was like, oh,
00:19:33.375 --> 00:19:35.155
I didn't think about that.
00:19:35.276 --> 00:19:36.895
I think it'll be some things,
00:19:37.196 --> 00:19:39.576
but I don't think it'll be everything.
00:19:39.717 --> 00:19:39.896
Right.
00:19:39.916 --> 00:19:40.897
So some of these companies
00:19:41.097 --> 00:19:42.498
are saying we're worth, you know,
00:19:42.518 --> 00:19:44.219
three billion dollars, you
00:19:44.838 --> 00:19:46.078
Rafi saying how much of that
00:19:46.138 --> 00:19:47.019
is a skills gap,
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.019
primarily a skills gap
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.260
between a primarily in
00:19:50.300 --> 00:19:51.221
person clinician and other
00:19:51.260 --> 00:19:52.401
clinician that operates
00:19:53.041 --> 00:19:53.981
primarily in telehealth?
00:19:54.102 --> 00:19:55.281
Is this a skill that you can
00:19:55.321 --> 00:19:55.961
get better at?
00:19:56.102 --> 00:19:57.423
Is this something that you could be?
00:19:57.442 --> 00:19:58.123
You know,
00:19:58.202 --> 00:20:00.064
is this good for certain patients
00:20:00.344 --> 00:20:01.624
and not for others?
00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:02.763
And then can you get better
00:20:02.805 --> 00:20:03.545
at this and not?
00:20:03.664 --> 00:20:04.065
What do you think?
00:20:04.085 --> 00:20:04.164
Yeah.
00:20:04.724 --> 00:20:05.205
I think so.
00:20:05.226 --> 00:20:06.267
Rafi is talking more about
00:20:06.366 --> 00:20:07.508
the clinician side, right?
00:20:07.528 --> 00:20:08.087
So, like, of course,
00:20:08.127 --> 00:20:08.828
the patients are going to
00:20:08.969 --> 00:20:10.089
always be very varied.
00:20:10.109 --> 00:20:10.711
They're going to be
00:20:11.030 --> 00:20:11.971
different reading levels,
00:20:11.991 --> 00:20:13.032
different comprehension levels,
00:20:13.073 --> 00:20:15.996
different degrees and all that.
00:20:16.997 --> 00:20:18.038
This is something that Tony, I think,
00:20:18.077 --> 00:20:18.798
mentioned last week,
00:20:18.857 --> 00:20:20.299
the difference between one
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:21.059
therapist and another.
00:20:22.316 --> 00:20:24.017
I've had video visits on my
00:20:24.037 --> 00:20:25.196
website for years.
00:20:25.317 --> 00:20:26.478
I've done telehealth visits.
00:20:26.577 --> 00:20:27.798
I've done, I did,
00:20:28.118 --> 00:20:29.138
I'm pretty sure I did
00:20:29.318 --> 00:20:31.079
virtual visits before COVID.
00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:32.941
Not as early as Rob Vining, not ten,
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.861
fifteen years ago.
00:20:34.340 --> 00:20:35.501
But I definitely did some of
00:20:35.521 --> 00:20:37.383
them before COVID.
00:20:37.482 --> 00:20:38.682
I did them before COVID for
00:20:38.702 --> 00:20:41.284
like friends of friends, family, friends,
00:20:41.304 --> 00:20:42.464
whatever that lived in other states.
00:20:42.825 --> 00:20:43.785
We jumped on Zoom.
00:20:44.526 --> 00:20:45.185
They paid me.
00:20:45.486 --> 00:20:46.727
In some cases I did them, you know,
00:20:46.787 --> 00:20:47.767
for free because it was
00:20:47.807 --> 00:20:49.327
just like I wanted to do it.
00:20:51.551 --> 00:20:53.532
Next, we can joke and say, oh,
00:20:53.553 --> 00:20:54.692
now there's going to be a
00:20:54.732 --> 00:20:55.814
continuing education course
00:20:55.874 --> 00:20:57.253
on teaching a therapist how
00:20:57.273 --> 00:20:58.654
to communicate over telehealth.
00:20:58.795 --> 00:21:00.315
Oh, a hundred percent.
00:21:00.695 --> 00:21:01.596
There probably already is.
00:21:01.915 --> 00:21:02.976
I'm sure there already is.
00:21:03.376 --> 00:21:04.457
I'm not saying I'm the best
00:21:04.717 --> 00:21:06.637
at doing a video visit.
00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.260
But based off of what I've
00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:10.221
seen Tony do put out online
00:21:10.281 --> 00:21:11.262
and other people have done
00:21:11.303 --> 00:21:13.744
and put out online with
00:21:13.785 --> 00:21:14.744
video visits during this
00:21:14.765 --> 00:21:16.247
whole last five or whatever years,
00:21:16.787 --> 00:21:19.769
I think I'm pretty good at
00:21:19.929 --> 00:21:20.690
doing a video visit.
00:21:20.730 --> 00:21:23.771
And I'm telling you, it is not... Yes,
00:21:23.811 --> 00:21:25.212
you could do some upper extremity things.
00:21:25.232 --> 00:21:26.374
You could do hand therapy.
00:21:26.594 --> 00:21:28.015
Yes, of course.
00:21:28.055 --> 00:21:29.375
Can you do, I don't know,
00:21:31.837 --> 00:21:32.798
with almost anyone?
00:21:33.117 --> 00:21:33.597
Probably.
00:21:34.258 --> 00:21:35.739
But I don't know how you're
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:37.838
going to loosen up stiff joints.
00:21:37.878 --> 00:21:39.138
I don't know how Tony's
00:21:39.159 --> 00:21:40.420
going to do shockwave and
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.819
TRT over telehealth, obviously.
00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:43.839
I'm joking.
00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:45.980
No, you're right.
00:21:46.681 --> 00:21:47.181
You're right.
00:21:47.361 --> 00:21:47.861
I agree.
00:21:47.941 --> 00:21:48.941
Probably sword's not going
00:21:48.961 --> 00:21:50.101
to be around in ten years.
00:21:50.141 --> 00:21:50.921
A lot of the companies
00:21:50.961 --> 00:21:51.780
aren't going to be around.
00:21:52.182 --> 00:21:52.761
I think it's a new
00:21:52.821 --> 00:21:55.301
technology still that we're
00:21:55.342 --> 00:21:58.063
going to figure out the right use case.
00:21:58.262 --> 00:22:00.462
I could go and cook dinner at home
00:22:00.923 --> 00:22:02.684
I can go to Chipotle or I
00:22:02.724 --> 00:22:03.865
can go to a nice restaurant.
00:22:03.905 --> 00:22:05.186
Like they're all completely
00:22:05.227 --> 00:22:06.268
different experiences,
00:22:06.428 --> 00:22:08.789
even though they feed me the same.
00:22:10.590 --> 00:22:12.211
In regards to, you know,
00:22:12.413 --> 00:22:14.334
the people that I see through telehealth,
00:22:14.894 --> 00:22:17.477
it is mostly just conversational,
00:22:17.656 --> 00:22:18.576
educational.
00:22:20.278 --> 00:22:21.359
And that's what I love.
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.579
Like,
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.361
I don't want to waste my time showing
00:22:23.381 --> 00:22:24.982
you a calf stretch and hamstring stretch.
00:22:25.002 --> 00:22:26.483
You can pick that stuff up on YouTube.
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.641
I want to answer your
00:22:27.661 --> 00:22:28.922
questions about why your
00:22:28.942 --> 00:22:30.383
knee still feels stiff,
00:22:30.522 --> 00:22:31.604
even though you've done all
00:22:31.624 --> 00:22:32.365
the right stuff.
00:22:32.805 --> 00:22:33.546
And I want to give you a
00:22:33.566 --> 00:22:35.327
little bit of encouragement and say, look,
00:22:35.347 --> 00:22:37.309
you know, great, no red flags.
00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:38.330
Everything makes sense.
00:22:38.351 --> 00:22:39.551
You are absolutely right.
00:22:40.211 --> 00:22:41.933
Let's find somebody locally,
00:22:41.973 --> 00:22:42.994
and I'm fine with that,
00:22:43.474 --> 00:22:45.136
who can do the hands-on
00:22:45.176 --> 00:22:46.357
things that maybe you can't
00:22:46.397 --> 00:22:47.138
do for yourself.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.060
But like anything,
00:22:50.101 --> 00:22:51.682
that doesn't mean we eliminate it.
00:22:51.761 --> 00:22:52.823
That doesn't mean that it's
00:22:52.883 --> 00:22:54.564
bad in and of itself.
00:22:54.584 --> 00:22:56.905
Like it's got a role in the profession.
00:22:57.586 --> 00:22:57.926
And I mean,
00:22:57.987 --> 00:23:00.048
we've just seen so many people blow up,
00:23:00.088 --> 00:23:02.671
like especially the neuro, the stroke,
00:23:02.691 --> 00:23:04.011
the OTs that are doing all
00:23:04.051 --> 00:23:04.771
of these things.
00:23:04.791 --> 00:23:05.853
There's that company that
00:23:05.893 --> 00:23:07.755
just got funding where they
00:23:07.775 --> 00:23:10.656
have a mechanical hand and research.
00:23:10.676 --> 00:23:12.557
Kristen is her first name.
00:23:13.598 --> 00:23:14.500
You know her, Jimmy.
00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.760
I think you you met her.
00:23:17.278 --> 00:23:18.038
But anyway,
00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:20.442
she she's been doing this for
00:23:20.501 --> 00:23:21.403
years and I think they got
00:23:21.423 --> 00:23:22.605
like a three thousand or
00:23:22.644 --> 00:23:25.028
three million dollar funding deal.
00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:26.590
It could be done.
00:23:26.931 --> 00:23:27.372
Yeah.
00:23:27.471 --> 00:23:28.232
The goggles.
00:23:28.292 --> 00:23:28.653
Hello.
00:23:28.693 --> 00:23:29.394
Like, again,
00:23:29.434 --> 00:23:32.199
the goggles remotely having a
00:23:32.298 --> 00:23:34.481
BPPV specialist looking at that.
00:23:34.758 --> 00:23:35.518
That's what I was just going to say,
00:23:35.538 --> 00:23:35.959
which is like,
00:23:35.999 --> 00:23:36.878
could we take that same
00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:38.559
model we flirted with and say, like,
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.801
could you have a fleet of PTAs, right?
00:23:41.862 --> 00:23:42.902
And we're just saying PTAs
00:23:42.942 --> 00:23:44.883
because I think a great PTA
00:23:44.903 --> 00:23:46.904
is a great PTA.
00:23:47.866 --> 00:23:49.788
but the cost is different
00:23:49.807 --> 00:23:50.728
because their cost to entry
00:23:50.748 --> 00:23:51.709
in the profession is different.
00:23:51.749 --> 00:23:52.469
Like, could you,
00:23:53.108 --> 00:23:54.410
is there something in the middle,
00:23:54.450 --> 00:23:56.550
whatever this is like, this is,
00:23:56.651 --> 00:23:57.891
this is early technology
00:23:57.911 --> 00:23:58.832
and we're flirting with it.
00:23:58.892 --> 00:23:59.932
And our grandkids, again,
00:23:59.971 --> 00:24:01.053
we'll mock what we did just
00:24:01.073 --> 00:24:02.532
to be mocked at what our grandparent,
00:24:02.573 --> 00:24:04.554
how did you not see the obvious, the,
00:24:04.594 --> 00:24:05.513
the obvious answer?
00:24:05.894 --> 00:24:06.934
I think there'll be something,
00:24:06.954 --> 00:24:09.455
but I don't think it'll be, uh, what the,
00:24:09.556 --> 00:24:09.655
uh,
00:24:09.736 --> 00:24:10.737
the people getting three billion
00:24:10.777 --> 00:24:12.396
dollar evaluations.
00:24:12.978 --> 00:24:13.057
Um,
00:24:14.837 --> 00:24:16.642
Scott chiming in, if the evals take longer,
00:24:16.682 --> 00:24:17.604
how can SORT expect a
00:24:17.644 --> 00:24:18.424
therapist to manage a
00:24:18.444 --> 00:24:19.287
caselet of seven hundred?
00:24:20.128 --> 00:24:21.050
That's what they were saying, right?
00:24:21.070 --> 00:24:23.174
Like that's competitive.
00:24:23.516 --> 00:24:24.857
I think I saw this online somewhere.
00:24:25.758 --> 00:24:28.839
I I'm saying the eval might take longer.
00:24:29.121 --> 00:24:29.500
There could be,
00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:32.083
there could be sward PTs that say, Oh,
00:24:32.103 --> 00:24:33.663
I only do an eval like five
00:24:33.683 --> 00:24:34.223
or ten minutes.
00:24:34.263 --> 00:24:34.503
Well,
00:24:34.584 --> 00:24:36.065
you're going to miss a ton of stuff
00:24:36.085 --> 00:24:37.086
because of the,
00:24:38.007 --> 00:24:41.068
because of not being able to see and feel,
00:24:41.189 --> 00:24:41.890
feel the joint.
00:24:42.150 --> 00:24:43.109
Is the joint swollen?
00:24:43.150 --> 00:24:43.711
Is it stiff?
00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:44.590
Is it this or that?
00:24:44.632 --> 00:24:46.373
And I don't know, like we,
00:24:46.432 --> 00:24:47.413
we do verbal cues.
00:24:47.433 --> 00:24:47.773
Yes.
00:24:47.794 --> 00:24:49.795
But like tactile cues give
00:24:49.835 --> 00:24:50.955
us so much more information.
00:24:51.596 --> 00:24:53.117
Lance Mabry commented the
00:24:53.137 --> 00:24:53.978
other day on LinkedIn.
00:24:54.018 --> 00:24:54.598
He was saying like,
00:24:55.219 --> 00:24:55.398
He's like,
00:24:55.459 --> 00:24:56.380
I don't know how you can do a
00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:57.661
full evaluation virtually.
00:24:57.721 --> 00:24:58.421
He's like, you know,
00:24:58.882 --> 00:25:00.462
you don't do reflexes.
00:25:00.482 --> 00:25:01.303
You can't, you know,
00:25:01.483 --> 00:25:03.244
feel like active passive range of motion.
00:25:03.404 --> 00:25:03.605
Go ahead.
00:25:03.625 --> 00:25:04.445
Tony's going to push.
00:25:04.846 --> 00:25:05.747
I don't think you need to.
00:25:06.326 --> 00:25:07.968
I look at some of the
00:25:09.648 --> 00:25:11.451
training videos that are on
00:25:12.090 --> 00:25:12.771
YouTube right now.
00:25:12.791 --> 00:25:13.932
And I'm like, oh, my gosh.
00:25:14.393 --> 00:25:14.553
Like,
00:25:14.593 --> 00:25:16.273
do we really need these special tests?
00:25:16.314 --> 00:25:17.394
We already know special
00:25:17.434 --> 00:25:18.496
tests aren't special.
00:25:18.516 --> 00:25:20.436
We already know how much of
00:25:20.477 --> 00:25:21.998
the stuff we waste time on
00:25:22.378 --> 00:25:24.339
is completely inconsequential and
00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:26.260
And I teach this in my class.
00:25:26.280 --> 00:25:26.761
I'm like, look,
00:25:27.261 --> 00:25:28.423
I'm in the clinic right now.
00:25:29.063 --> 00:25:30.523
I can look out the front window.
00:25:30.663 --> 00:25:32.405
I can see my patient pulling
00:25:32.465 --> 00:25:33.586
into the parking space.
00:25:34.366 --> 00:25:35.728
I can understand, okay,
00:25:35.748 --> 00:25:36.567
they got out of the car.
00:25:36.588 --> 00:25:37.368
They opened the door.
00:25:37.409 --> 00:25:38.589
They walked to the front desk.
00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:39.590
They're standing there while
00:25:39.651 --> 00:25:41.251
I give them the paperwork to sign.
00:25:42.152 --> 00:25:42.992
They have the manual
00:25:43.032 --> 00:25:43.993
dexterity to pull their
00:25:44.034 --> 00:25:45.034
driver's license and their
00:25:45.074 --> 00:25:45.674
insurance card.
00:25:45.714 --> 00:25:46.595
They have the cognitive
00:25:46.634 --> 00:25:47.816
awareness to understand the
00:25:47.855 --> 00:25:48.557
difference between
00:25:48.916 --> 00:25:50.838
the insurance card and a business card.
00:25:51.239 --> 00:25:53.201
Like I can finish an
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.862
evaluation within three
00:25:54.902 --> 00:25:56.222
minutes before we ever even
00:25:56.262 --> 00:25:57.403
walk into the clinic
00:25:57.924 --> 00:25:59.625
because we have looked at
00:25:59.645 --> 00:26:00.446
all this stuff now.
00:26:01.391 --> 00:26:01.770
Now,
00:26:02.632 --> 00:26:05.153
once we pass that first point and I'm
00:26:05.353 --> 00:26:06.472
developing a plan of care,
00:26:06.492 --> 00:26:07.773
I've already got a diagnosis.
00:26:07.814 --> 00:26:08.554
I've already got all this
00:26:08.574 --> 00:26:10.654
stuff and something doesn't make sense.
00:26:11.095 --> 00:26:12.455
Two sessions, three sessions,
00:26:12.496 --> 00:26:13.336
four sessions in.
00:26:13.675 --> 00:26:14.876
Now we go deeper.
00:26:15.257 --> 00:26:17.557
Now we're like, OK, I was expecting this.
00:26:17.637 --> 00:26:18.557
That's not what I'm getting.
00:26:18.617 --> 00:26:20.338
But why would I go six
00:26:20.398 --> 00:26:22.079
levels deep on every single
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:23.059
person who walks in the
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.201
door when the majority of them are?
00:26:25.461 --> 00:26:26.942
are very basic cases.
00:26:27.301 --> 00:26:28.803
And I think as clinicians, we're like,
00:26:29.123 --> 00:26:30.284
well, if we didn't test it,
00:26:30.403 --> 00:26:31.484
we can't document it.
00:26:31.525 --> 00:26:32.445
If we didn't do this,
00:26:32.486 --> 00:26:33.306
then it doesn't exist.
00:26:33.385 --> 00:26:33.566
No,
00:26:33.586 --> 00:26:35.988
like that person is medically managed
00:26:36.028 --> 00:26:37.568
by a physician, by an MD,
00:26:37.628 --> 00:26:38.869
by probably an orthopedic,
00:26:38.910 --> 00:26:39.790
by an oncologist,
00:26:39.830 --> 00:26:41.432
by all of these other specialists.
00:26:42.112 --> 00:26:43.813
Let's give them a little bit of credit.
00:26:44.253 --> 00:26:45.775
We are not the end all be all.
00:26:45.815 --> 00:26:47.516
And I think we think too
00:26:47.556 --> 00:26:49.436
much of ourselves and we
00:26:49.477 --> 00:26:50.458
just need to chill out.
00:26:50.837 --> 00:26:51.679
Like these people have been
00:26:51.739 --> 00:26:52.979
living independently for
00:26:53.038 --> 00:26:55.040
years with the way they're moving.
00:26:55.641 --> 00:26:57.362
Let's let them prove to us
00:26:57.422 --> 00:26:58.663
that there's something more
00:26:58.742 --> 00:26:59.782
complicated going on.
00:26:59.883 --> 00:27:01.844
Let's not assume last point.
00:27:02.443 --> 00:27:03.964
I just think, and I was guilty of it.
00:27:03.984 --> 00:27:04.865
That's why I know it.
00:27:05.506 --> 00:27:06.886
I was always that therapist
00:27:06.906 --> 00:27:08.247
who's desperately seeking
00:27:08.287 --> 00:27:09.528
the one thing that nobody
00:27:09.607 --> 00:27:11.229
else saw so that I could
00:27:11.269 --> 00:27:13.109
feel smart and I could feel special.
00:27:13.130 --> 00:27:14.450
And I see you moving in this
00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:16.111
way and it must be this, you know,
00:27:16.191 --> 00:27:18.152
imbalance and your glutes aren't firing,
00:27:18.192 --> 00:27:18.893
even though you just got
00:27:18.932 --> 00:27:19.573
out of the chair.
00:27:20.032 --> 00:27:21.394
Your glutes aren't firing
00:27:21.534 --> 00:27:23.394
and your medial arch is collapsing.
00:27:23.434 --> 00:27:24.194
And this is why you were
00:27:24.234 --> 00:27:25.536
having left ear pain
00:27:25.935 --> 00:27:26.715
because it's something
00:27:26.776 --> 00:27:29.176
completely absurd that, you know,
00:27:29.196 --> 00:27:30.837
I'm going to tie all of these strings to.
00:27:30.897 --> 00:27:32.058
I wish we had the graphic
00:27:32.078 --> 00:27:34.380
from like a beautiful mind or whatever.
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:36.441
It's not that complicated.
00:27:36.580 --> 00:27:38.241
Most of the time when it is,
00:27:38.582 --> 00:27:39.821
we put the time into it.
00:27:40.442 --> 00:27:41.843
That's when we really can shine.
00:27:45.025 --> 00:27:47.125
Tony, in your practice in October,
00:27:47.705 --> 00:27:48.767
how many telehealth visits
00:27:48.787 --> 00:27:49.287
did you guys do?
00:27:50.208 --> 00:27:51.288
I don't want to do any business.
00:27:51.308 --> 00:27:54.390
It's not something I push, but okay.
00:27:54.410 --> 00:27:55.250
No further questions.
00:27:56.412 --> 00:27:58.833
I probably did too.
00:27:59.373 --> 00:28:00.173
I get calls.
00:28:00.294 --> 00:28:01.374
I got a call yesterday from
00:28:01.394 --> 00:28:02.674
a guy in Albany who's like,
00:28:03.234 --> 00:28:03.816
I'm desperate.
00:28:03.875 --> 00:28:05.797
I need you to get on a telehealth call,
00:28:05.836 --> 00:28:06.196
please.
00:28:06.237 --> 00:28:07.577
Is there any way we can do this?
00:28:08.898 --> 00:28:10.358
I turn most of them away.
00:28:10.479 --> 00:28:12.059
I don't return most phone calls.
00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:13.340
Like I don't want,
00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.721
but I would tell you it's
00:28:14.741 --> 00:28:15.382
the same thing about
00:28:15.422 --> 00:28:16.643
patients coming into the clinic.
00:28:17.143 --> 00:28:18.525
You know, right now today,
00:28:18.545 --> 00:28:20.026
I've got a noon and a five.
00:28:20.086 --> 00:28:21.827
I'm like, can we just move the noon?
00:28:22.208 --> 00:28:23.189
Put them at four thirty.
00:28:23.229 --> 00:28:24.369
If they can't do four thirty,
00:28:24.430 --> 00:28:25.631
let's book them up against
00:28:25.711 --> 00:28:28.073
another evaluation somewhere else.
00:28:28.534 --> 00:28:30.394
Like, don't spread my evals around.
00:28:30.515 --> 00:28:30.935
Don't give me.
00:28:31.016 --> 00:28:31.957
Yeah, that's the graphic.
00:28:32.037 --> 00:28:32.817
Don't give me more than
00:28:32.856 --> 00:28:34.278
thirty minutes between evals.
00:28:34.679 --> 00:28:35.859
Like, if I'm going to do it,
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.121
let's book them all up
00:28:37.181 --> 00:28:40.223
together and then we'll get it done.
00:28:40.243 --> 00:28:41.265
I'm not a good example.
00:28:41.424 --> 00:28:42.125
That's what I'm saying.
00:28:43.887 --> 00:28:44.588
I think time will tell.
00:28:45.048 --> 00:28:46.049
And that's the way to do it.
00:28:46.069 --> 00:28:46.830
But this is why companies
00:28:46.851 --> 00:28:47.652
have a three billion dollar
00:28:47.692 --> 00:28:48.692
valuation is because if
00:28:48.752 --> 00:28:49.773
people don't bet now,
00:28:50.273 --> 00:28:51.736
if people bet now and it hits,
00:28:51.796 --> 00:28:53.297
the small bet turns into a big bet,
00:28:53.396 --> 00:28:53.616
right?
00:28:53.698 --> 00:28:54.597
That's if you buy in.
00:28:55.378 --> 00:28:56.359
And to the point of the
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:57.961
seven hundred patients that
00:28:57.981 --> 00:28:58.741
you're managing, I mean,
00:28:58.781 --> 00:28:59.883
doesn't a primary care
00:28:59.923 --> 00:29:01.224
physician manage like three
00:29:01.265 --> 00:29:02.205
thousand patients?
00:29:02.885 --> 00:29:03.646
Because you're not spending
00:29:03.666 --> 00:29:04.948
them all every day.
00:29:04.988 --> 00:29:06.170
For five minute interactions.
00:29:08.094 --> 00:29:09.336
You're not going to utilize
00:29:09.375 --> 00:29:10.938
this every single day,
00:29:10.978 --> 00:29:13.019
every single week if this is a benefit,
00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:14.321
if this is a resource.
00:29:17.346 --> 00:29:18.907
I think most people just
00:29:18.948 --> 00:29:19.788
won't use it at all.
00:29:20.028 --> 00:29:21.069
I mean, that's the reality.
00:29:21.529 --> 00:29:22.550
I think most people don't
00:29:22.590 --> 00:29:23.652
want the inconvenience.
00:29:23.971 --> 00:29:25.012
They would rather deal with
00:29:25.032 --> 00:29:26.993
the discomfort than have to go through,
00:29:27.134 --> 00:29:28.714
you know, that experience.
00:29:29.336 --> 00:29:30.997
And so if you're going to
00:29:31.017 --> 00:29:32.438
get paid as a company and
00:29:32.538 --> 00:29:33.659
most of your clients don't
00:29:33.719 --> 00:29:34.980
even want to use your service,
00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:38.001
like that's why insurance is so amazing.
00:29:38.261 --> 00:29:39.182
Brilliant business model.
00:29:39.522 --> 00:29:41.003
People are paying you and
00:29:41.084 --> 00:29:42.305
hoping they never have to
00:29:42.484 --> 00:29:43.425
use your service.
00:29:45.575 --> 00:29:45.855
Wow.
00:29:45.934 --> 00:29:47.777
You're the voice of the voiceless, Tony.
00:29:48.637 --> 00:29:49.038
Wow.
00:29:49.258 --> 00:29:49.798
Impressive.
00:29:49.959 --> 00:29:50.759
Business card.
00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.961
All right.
00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:54.482
What do you guys want to talk about next?
00:29:54.502 --> 00:29:55.804
Dave, anything on your mind?
00:29:57.025 --> 00:29:58.846
I think we should talk about
00:29:59.747 --> 00:30:02.148
diagnostic ultrasound and self-pay.
00:30:02.209 --> 00:30:03.590
I know you were speaking to
00:30:03.631 --> 00:30:04.431
Ryan Martin recently.
00:30:04.451 --> 00:30:05.551
Was that on his show?
00:30:05.571 --> 00:30:07.114
Was that on your Learn
00:30:07.134 --> 00:30:08.013
Medicare billing channel?
00:30:08.034 --> 00:30:08.434
What was that?
00:30:08.826 --> 00:30:09.026
Yeah,
00:30:09.086 --> 00:30:11.047
he was gracious enough to come to me.
00:30:12.387 --> 00:30:13.909
That full interview is
00:30:13.969 --> 00:30:15.089
public right now on Learn
00:30:15.109 --> 00:30:15.970
Medicare Billing.
00:30:17.391 --> 00:30:18.070
And truthfully,
00:30:18.391 --> 00:30:19.791
I am completely ignorant to
00:30:19.852 --> 00:30:21.573
so many things within our profession.
00:30:22.032 --> 00:30:23.993
Diagnostic ultrasound was one of them.
00:30:24.615 --> 00:30:26.175
Until I got on LinkedIn,
00:30:26.236 --> 00:30:27.635
I never knew about Ryan Martin.
00:30:27.757 --> 00:30:29.176
Once I got there, I was like,
00:30:29.196 --> 00:30:29.917
what is this?
00:30:30.637 --> 00:30:33.863
And to me, I mean, he's a genius himself,
00:30:33.903 --> 00:30:35.785
like super nice guy, very humble.
00:30:36.306 --> 00:30:38.028
But one of the big takeaways
00:30:38.048 --> 00:30:39.289
that I wanted you guys to
00:30:39.329 --> 00:30:41.633
give me some feedback on, Dave especially,
00:30:41.653 --> 00:30:42.753
because you're in the field,
00:30:43.335 --> 00:30:44.957
he said there are handheld
00:30:44.997 --> 00:30:46.419
devices that are good enough
00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:49.701
to a couple thousand dollar investment,
00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:51.561
to travel with a mobile therapist,
00:30:51.602 --> 00:30:53.762
to provide this diagnostic.
00:30:54.923 --> 00:30:56.364
I get the impression, I mean,
00:30:57.444 --> 00:30:59.144
Ryan just loves what he does,
00:30:59.605 --> 00:31:00.905
but my mind always goes to
00:31:00.945 --> 00:31:01.625
the business side.
00:31:01.645 --> 00:31:02.227
And I'm like,
00:31:02.866 --> 00:31:04.387
I talk to patients every day
00:31:04.448 --> 00:31:06.528
who cannot get in for an MRI.
00:31:07.528 --> 00:31:08.609
Either the insurance is
00:31:08.670 --> 00:31:09.910
refusing to allow them an
00:31:10.029 --> 00:31:11.691
MRI before they do therapy,
00:31:12.090 --> 00:31:13.212
quote, fail therapy,
00:31:13.973 --> 00:31:15.977
or the MRI centers just
00:31:15.997 --> 00:31:17.358
don't have available appointments.
00:31:17.398 --> 00:31:19.402
Like, they call multiple hospitals.
00:31:19.422 --> 00:31:20.482
They can't get in anywhere
00:31:20.522 --> 00:31:22.465
in the area for weeks.
00:31:22.846 --> 00:31:23.287
And so...
00:31:24.396 --> 00:31:26.557
this to me is like a golden opportunity.
00:31:27.038 --> 00:31:28.858
I would see going through
00:31:28.878 --> 00:31:29.920
the certification,
00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:31.601
purchasing the equipment
00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.942
and then offering a
00:31:33.041 --> 00:31:34.903
self-pay and I don't know rates,
00:31:35.042 --> 00:31:35.663
I'm gonna say,
00:31:35.702 --> 00:31:36.522
two hundred and fifty
00:31:36.563 --> 00:31:37.644
dollar diagnostic
00:31:37.703 --> 00:31:40.444
ultrasound rate where a person,
00:31:40.665 --> 00:31:42.846
whether they want to do therapy or not,
00:31:43.446 --> 00:31:44.627
they can come in,
00:31:44.847 --> 00:31:46.728
I can sound their rotator
00:31:46.768 --> 00:31:48.269
cuff or any of the
00:31:48.689 --> 00:31:50.789
extremities that are easy to visualize.
00:31:51.289 --> 00:31:51.790
Brian said,
00:31:51.851 --> 00:31:52.931
I could probably learn enough
00:31:52.971 --> 00:31:54.531
to do a good job in about a month.
00:31:56.113 --> 00:31:57.512
And this is just be a steady stream.
00:31:57.553 --> 00:31:58.073
And then of course,
00:31:58.113 --> 00:31:59.614
some of those patients are gonna be like,
00:32:00.054 --> 00:32:01.275
oh my gosh, thank goodness.
00:32:01.335 --> 00:32:02.535
I can't believe you did that.
00:32:03.615 --> 00:32:04.516
Tell me about physical
00:32:04.556 --> 00:32:05.396
therapy and then I can
00:32:05.416 --> 00:32:06.176
bring them on for a
00:32:06.696 --> 00:32:08.057
physical therapy plan of care,
00:32:08.077 --> 00:32:09.117
which is obviously gonna
00:32:09.137 --> 00:32:10.479
give them the most benefit.
00:32:11.596 --> 00:32:12.636
I don't know of anybody
00:32:12.696 --> 00:32:13.778
doing this anywhere.
00:32:14.298 --> 00:32:15.118
What about you guys?
00:32:15.138 --> 00:32:16.180
Have you heard, Dave?
00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:18.020
Where you been, dude?
00:32:18.060 --> 00:32:18.761
I thought you knew me.
00:32:19.021 --> 00:32:19.701
We've been offering this
00:32:19.741 --> 00:32:20.522
since twenty twenty.
00:32:20.923 --> 00:32:22.604
No, I had no idea.
00:32:22.704 --> 00:32:23.065
Tell me.
00:32:23.085 --> 00:32:24.566
I thought we did an episode on it.
00:32:24.945 --> 00:32:26.487
I had the butterfly IQ.
00:32:26.547 --> 00:32:27.768
It plugs into my iPhone.
00:32:27.807 --> 00:32:28.888
I don't have it now because
00:32:29.309 --> 00:32:30.770
I just assumed you knew we did it.
00:32:30.810 --> 00:32:31.090
Did it.
00:32:31.131 --> 00:32:32.451
So I can't do a demo right now.
00:32:33.932 --> 00:32:35.814
OK, so what are you using this for?
00:32:35.954 --> 00:32:37.415
Is it an upsell or is it
00:32:37.455 --> 00:32:38.676
included in your service?
00:32:38.696 --> 00:32:40.337
Because your service is self-pay anyway.
00:32:41.670 --> 00:32:41.849
Yeah.
00:32:41.869 --> 00:32:43.971
So we just include it.
00:32:44.010 --> 00:32:45.912
We get current patients to
00:32:46.011 --> 00:32:47.051
refer to their friends and
00:32:47.071 --> 00:32:47.912
their friends reach out to
00:32:47.971 --> 00:32:50.512
us and they don't say they,
00:32:50.532 --> 00:32:52.034
they used to say, you know, Oh, you know,
00:32:52.394 --> 00:32:54.034
therapist name and you know,
00:32:54.094 --> 00:32:56.515
whatever the just awesome service,
00:32:56.915 --> 00:32:58.016
professional, competent,
00:32:58.036 --> 00:32:59.076
all that type of stuff, whatever.
00:32:59.635 --> 00:33:00.717
And then now, you know,
00:33:00.737 --> 00:33:02.857
we'll get referrals that says like, like,
00:33:02.917 --> 00:33:04.617
Hey, you know, James referred me to,
00:33:04.758 --> 00:33:05.419
to you guys.
00:33:05.499 --> 00:33:05.919
And he said,
00:33:05.939 --> 00:33:08.240
you guys have some like amazing,
00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:08.660
you know,
00:33:10.093 --> 00:33:12.535
Portable technology, tech imaging,
00:33:12.674 --> 00:33:12.996
whatever.
00:33:13.336 --> 00:33:16.597
Can I get whatever ankle, hip, shoulder,
00:33:16.618 --> 00:33:18.059
whatever, elbow, wrist?
00:33:20.221 --> 00:33:22.282
Can I get some imaging or diagnostics,
00:33:22.323 --> 00:33:22.623
whatever?
00:33:24.244 --> 00:33:25.826
I'm extremely bullish on it.
00:33:25.865 --> 00:33:26.967
I thought we've talked about it before.
00:33:28.092 --> 00:33:28.532
Maybe we have.
00:33:29.674 --> 00:33:30.796
I'm forty nine.
00:33:30.915 --> 00:33:31.336
I don't know.
00:33:32.618 --> 00:33:32.838
OK,
00:33:32.878 --> 00:33:34.741
so let's let's get into some specifics.
00:33:34.761 --> 00:33:36.365
Like what are the conditions
00:33:36.424 --> 00:33:37.886
or the extremities that do
00:33:37.967 --> 00:33:39.630
best with this kind of imaging?
00:33:41.132 --> 00:33:42.732
I mean, any of the peripheral joints,
00:33:43.614 --> 00:33:45.095
I think, yes.
00:33:45.395 --> 00:33:46.817
So I did I did some like
00:33:46.916 --> 00:33:49.038
sono optics course years ago,
00:33:49.078 --> 00:33:50.098
and I think they're like
00:33:50.138 --> 00:33:50.960
defunct or whatever.
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.423
But I I added this in twenty twenty.
00:33:55.443 --> 00:33:57.005
This is something like what you've done,
00:33:57.045 --> 00:33:57.285
Tony,
00:33:57.305 --> 00:34:00.647
with like the the biodex treadmill
00:34:00.847 --> 00:34:01.409
and the TRT.
00:34:01.469 --> 00:34:01.608
Right.
00:34:03.609 --> 00:34:06.550
I just had this gut feel
00:34:06.651 --> 00:34:08.652
like that this would be awesome.
00:34:08.791 --> 00:34:09.931
And it's so small and it
00:34:09.952 --> 00:34:10.813
plugs into the phone.
00:34:10.932 --> 00:34:14.373
And almost every patient, almost, ninety,
00:34:14.474 --> 00:34:15.594
ninety-five percent of patients,
00:34:16.114 --> 00:34:16.835
when they see it,
00:34:17.295 --> 00:34:18.195
that we can do it right in
00:34:18.215 --> 00:34:19.376
their home apartment.
00:34:19.976 --> 00:34:22.617
And I'm like, here's your Supraspinatus,
00:34:22.856 --> 00:34:23.777
whatever, here's your shoulder,
00:34:23.836 --> 00:34:24.697
here's your rotator cuff.
00:34:25.157 --> 00:34:26.978
And then they can actually
00:34:27.057 --> 00:34:28.338
move their shoulder and we
00:34:28.358 --> 00:34:28.998
can actually see it
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.159
dynamically compared to the
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.579
still images of MRI.
00:34:33.038 --> 00:34:33.257
Ninety,
00:34:33.297 --> 00:34:34.438
ninety five percent of people are
00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:35.219
blown away.
00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:38.240
I've done this for free for, you know,
00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:40.282
like my baseball buddies, you know,
00:34:40.621 --> 00:34:42.163
in in the dugout before and
00:34:42.182 --> 00:34:43.382
after games and things like that.
00:34:43.583 --> 00:34:46.063
And I do it as like a marketing tool.
00:34:47.565 --> 00:34:48.925
It absolutely fractures.
00:34:50.217 --> 00:34:51.237
You can see some fractures.
00:34:51.317 --> 00:34:54.059
I had a BMX biker a couple years ago.
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:55.139
He thought he cracked a rib.
00:34:55.478 --> 00:34:57.320
We tried to look at the rib
00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:58.079
from every angle.
00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:00.681
It didn't seem like there was a fracture,
00:35:00.701 --> 00:35:02.481
but you can see, especially the edges.
00:35:02.521 --> 00:35:04.443
So if this is the rib,
00:35:04.483 --> 00:35:06.322
if there was a fracture like that,
00:35:06.663 --> 00:35:07.784
if it was on the periphery
00:35:08.204 --> 00:35:09.965
of the actual bone, yes,
00:35:11.045 --> 00:35:12.385
you can see some fractures.
00:35:14.186 --> 00:35:15.429
And Ryan is obviously way
00:35:15.449 --> 00:35:17.130
more equipped to answer the
00:35:17.150 --> 00:35:18.291
clinical questions than I am.
00:35:18.373 --> 00:35:20.574
But I have a therapist now
00:35:20.594 --> 00:35:21.295
that's full time.
00:35:21.396 --> 00:35:23.159
He's going to be away for the holidays.
00:35:23.898 --> 00:35:25.360
I'm getting him taught in
00:35:25.601 --> 00:35:26.603
probably February.
00:35:26.643 --> 00:35:28.605
He's going to start learning this as well.
00:35:29.465 --> 00:35:32.009
um and our goal is to scan
00:35:32.048 --> 00:35:33.269
as many people as possible
00:35:33.329 --> 00:35:34.630
so once I get him up and
00:35:34.690 --> 00:35:35.190
running because I don't
00:35:35.211 --> 00:35:35.891
want to do it right because
00:35:35.911 --> 00:35:36.853
I want to be I want to grow
00:35:36.873 --> 00:35:37.574
the practice I want to be
00:35:37.634 --> 00:35:39.034
home like I want to be on
00:35:39.054 --> 00:35:40.215
video with you guys like I
00:35:40.235 --> 00:35:41.137
don't want to do any of the
00:35:41.177 --> 00:35:41.818
imaging I don't want to
00:35:41.858 --> 00:35:43.398
treat right so I want to
00:35:43.418 --> 00:35:44.900
get him busy we're going to
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.820
contact all the previous
00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:46.981
patients that we've ever
00:35:47.021 --> 00:35:48.403
interacted with offer maybe
00:35:48.463 --> 00:35:49.744
free scans maybe he drops
00:35:49.804 --> 00:35:51.445
by it takes five minutes
00:35:51.505 --> 00:35:52.887
little ultrasound gel plug
00:35:52.907 --> 00:35:53.708
it in a smartphone
00:35:54.409 --> 00:35:56.697
And he can see inside of someone's,
00:35:57.117 --> 00:35:59.827
you know, joint, soft tissue.
00:36:01.003 --> 00:36:01.664
What's that?
00:36:01.684 --> 00:36:02.405
What are you looking for?
00:36:02.445 --> 00:36:03.505
Like, what are you looking for in a joint?
00:36:03.525 --> 00:36:04.646
What are you looking for in a muscle,
00:36:04.746 --> 00:36:06.188
a tear damage?
00:36:06.208 --> 00:36:08.871
So you can see, you can see partial tears.
00:36:08.891 --> 00:36:09.851
You can see ruptures.
00:36:09.871 --> 00:36:11.273
You can see things like, you know,
00:36:11.432 --> 00:36:12.554
cysts and those types of
00:36:12.594 --> 00:36:13.635
things like are going to be
00:36:13.735 --> 00:36:14.835
interesting to learn more
00:36:14.876 --> 00:36:15.996
about because then you can
00:36:16.097 --> 00:36:17.818
refer out and then build referrals,
00:36:18.197 --> 00:36:19.278
refer referring
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:21.021
partnerships to other physicians,
00:36:21.081 --> 00:36:23.523
other concierge physicians or, or others.
00:36:24.224 --> 00:36:24.423
Um,
00:36:28.983 --> 00:36:31.666
You can see nerve entrapments,
00:36:31.686 --> 00:36:32.626
which I think is probably
00:36:32.646 --> 00:36:33.688
the highest level skill.
00:36:33.887 --> 00:36:34.628
And by the way,
00:36:34.788 --> 00:36:36.949
this whole offering is
00:36:37.030 --> 00:36:37.871
obviously way more
00:36:37.911 --> 00:36:38.672
challenging and has a
00:36:38.731 --> 00:36:41.793
higher barrier of entry, respectfully,
00:36:41.875 --> 00:36:43.815
than anything in an outpatient office,
00:36:43.856 --> 00:36:46.378
like the Biodex or the TRT or...
00:36:47.574 --> 00:36:48.715
the stim pod that we use.
00:36:48.795 --> 00:36:50.556
And even that is a little bit of training,
00:36:50.597 --> 00:36:52.798
but, but not too much, but yeah, I agree.
00:36:52.838 --> 00:36:54.740
Like at least like a month, if not,
00:36:54.860 --> 00:36:55.081
you know,
00:36:55.101 --> 00:36:56.641
a couple of months to be super competent.
00:36:57.382 --> 00:36:59.304
Um, and therapists could be absolutely,
00:36:59.364 --> 00:37:00.206
absolutely doing this.
00:37:00.365 --> 00:37:01.987
And just in the learning phase,
00:37:02.007 --> 00:37:02.847
you tell all your patients,
00:37:02.867 --> 00:37:03.489
you have them sign the
00:37:03.528 --> 00:37:04.128
release or whatever.
00:37:05.255 --> 00:37:06.556
And you potentially just do
00:37:06.597 --> 00:37:07.777
the scans for free for the
00:37:07.797 --> 00:37:09.157
first month or three months or whatever.
00:37:10.018 --> 00:37:10.637
Just from that,
00:37:10.657 --> 00:37:11.878
they're gonna go tell other people.
00:37:11.918 --> 00:37:15.260
So it's absolutely a marketing component.
00:37:15.681 --> 00:37:17.681
It's a, I don't know,
00:37:17.722 --> 00:37:19.141
Tony will probably push back on this,
00:37:19.181 --> 00:37:20.382
but it's showing like a
00:37:20.422 --> 00:37:23.523
higher level of potential like authority,
00:37:23.623 --> 00:37:24.625
knowledge, expertise.
00:37:25.644 --> 00:37:25.744
Um,
00:37:25.784 --> 00:37:27.226
I think Tony will start to see that in
00:37:27.246 --> 00:37:28.646
the coming months when he's
00:37:28.726 --> 00:37:30.027
using things like the TRT
00:37:30.106 --> 00:37:31.407
and the sound of the TRT
00:37:31.487 --> 00:37:32.788
and the size of the device
00:37:32.847 --> 00:37:33.748
and what it does and what it,
00:37:34.088 --> 00:37:36.829
how the patients feel the TRT sensation.
00:37:37.108 --> 00:37:37.789
They're going to go,
00:37:38.010 --> 00:37:38.809
they're going to refer
00:37:38.909 --> 00:37:39.789
their friends and family.
00:37:40.030 --> 00:37:41.291
They're going to say, Hey, go to that.
00:37:42.150 --> 00:37:44.793
office with that guy, those guys and,
00:37:44.972 --> 00:37:46.974
and there's some softwave device, right?
00:37:47.135 --> 00:37:48.916
And Tony's gonna get
00:37:49.117 --> 00:37:49.856
significantly more
00:37:49.876 --> 00:37:51.097
referrals in the coming months,
00:37:51.318 --> 00:37:52.940
just because of this new technology.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.420
The big challenge for
00:37:54.460 --> 00:37:55.762
therapists and owners is
00:37:55.862 --> 00:37:58.184
the clinical education
00:37:58.264 --> 00:38:00.865
around not just relearning
00:38:00.985 --> 00:38:03.307
or reviewing anatomy,
00:38:03.588 --> 00:38:05.429
but it's anatomy via an
00:38:05.489 --> 00:38:06.289
image that you've never
00:38:06.331 --> 00:38:07.271
really seen before.
00:38:07.652 --> 00:38:07.871
Right?
00:38:08.072 --> 00:38:08.972
What's the what's the
00:38:08.992 --> 00:38:10.494
ballpark cost of some of these units?
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:13.342
The back in twenty twenty,
00:38:13.384 --> 00:38:14.706
the butterfly was like two
00:38:14.726 --> 00:38:15.789
grand and I think it was
00:38:15.829 --> 00:38:17.614
the first the first year of the software.
00:38:17.793 --> 00:38:18.717
The software is like
00:38:20.467 --> 00:38:22.347
I can save videos and images.
00:38:22.427 --> 00:38:24.369
I can text and email the images,
00:38:24.528 --> 00:38:25.869
the still images and video
00:38:26.050 --> 00:38:28.090
of the imaging right from the app.
00:38:28.411 --> 00:38:29.371
I think the first year was
00:38:29.391 --> 00:38:30.771
like five hundred bucks for the software.
00:38:30.811 --> 00:38:32.152
And then after that, it's like optional.
00:38:32.293 --> 00:38:33.494
So it's like that was twenty
00:38:33.514 --> 00:38:34.273
five hundred up front.
00:38:35.155 --> 00:38:37.175
Dr. Boba Benko over in Colorado,
00:38:37.215 --> 00:38:38.615
he just bought another
00:38:38.856 --> 00:38:40.077
completely wireless
00:38:40.237 --> 00:38:41.137
portable diagnostic
00:38:41.177 --> 00:38:42.217
ultrasound called I think
00:38:42.237 --> 00:38:43.059
it's called Clarius.
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:44.920
That's probably in the same range,
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.501
maybe around two to five K.
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:49.302
And then the big units that, you know,
00:38:49.342 --> 00:38:50.702
Ryan Martin and all those
00:38:50.742 --> 00:38:52.742
guys that have like an outpatient office,
00:38:52.802 --> 00:38:53.722
those are like the bigger
00:38:53.802 --> 00:38:54.804
units that look like a
00:38:54.844 --> 00:38:56.023
hospital or physician's
00:38:56.103 --> 00:38:57.224
office ultrasound.
00:38:57.284 --> 00:38:59.045
Those are like fifteen, twenty,
00:38:59.385 --> 00:39:01.126
twenty five K like they go up from there.
00:39:03.266 --> 00:39:04.427
It's an absolute no brainer.
00:39:04.706 --> 00:39:05.807
I think therapists watching
00:39:05.827 --> 00:39:06.688
or listening should only
00:39:06.728 --> 00:39:07.909
consider it if they want to
00:39:08.429 --> 00:39:09.608
help more people get more
00:39:09.688 --> 00:39:11.170
results and make a ton more money.
00:39:12.650 --> 00:39:13.150
I love it.
00:39:13.251 --> 00:39:14.672
You'd be an idiot not to do it.
00:39:15.452 --> 00:39:16.472
Dave's got an affiliate code.
00:39:16.492 --> 00:39:18.153
And I know I have nothing to sell you.
00:39:18.193 --> 00:39:19.114
So I don't care if you don't do it.
00:39:19.153 --> 00:39:19.974
And if you're in New York city,
00:39:20.014 --> 00:39:20.675
don't do it.
00:39:20.715 --> 00:39:21.375
Just don't offer it.
00:39:21.855 --> 00:39:22.576
Yeah.
00:39:22.655 --> 00:39:22.856
All right.
00:39:22.876 --> 00:39:23.556
Quick question.
00:39:24.175 --> 00:39:27.018
Um, how long does it take to actually get,
00:39:27.038 --> 00:39:29.958
uh, an image or a scan or diagnostic?
00:39:29.978 --> 00:39:30.239
You know,
00:39:30.259 --> 00:39:31.719
are we talking like five minutes,
00:39:34.972 --> 00:39:35.592
Yeah.
00:39:35.632 --> 00:39:36.733
The better, the better you are,
00:39:36.753 --> 00:39:38.054
the faster you'll get.
00:39:38.114 --> 00:39:38.353
Right.
00:39:38.393 --> 00:39:40.235
So like in the beginning, I'm, you know,
00:39:40.315 --> 00:39:41.255
stumbling it around and
00:39:41.476 --> 00:39:43.016
probably was doing wasting time,
00:39:43.177 --> 00:39:44.518
fifteen or twenty minutes or something.
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.739
The Ryan Martins of the world,
00:39:47.219 --> 00:39:50.702
he he probably he's probably getting,
00:39:51.181 --> 00:39:51.481
you know,
00:39:51.621 --> 00:39:53.304
a diagnosis in ninety seconds or
00:39:53.324 --> 00:39:53.884
a couple of minutes.
00:39:54.414 --> 00:39:56.434
So what would be a reasonable rate?
00:39:56.534 --> 00:39:57.795
I'm going to say reasonable
00:39:57.835 --> 00:40:00.056
in New York and reasonable in Ohio.
00:40:01.177 --> 00:40:03.157
If somebody comes in, they're like,
00:40:03.297 --> 00:40:05.518
we suspect a rotator cuff tear.
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:07.880
I can't go in for an MRI.
00:40:08.001 --> 00:40:08.820
I just want to pay out of
00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:10.262
pocket just to confirm now.
00:40:10.822 --> 00:40:12.041
Guys, if you're listening,
00:40:12.202 --> 00:40:13.242
I understand the research
00:40:13.262 --> 00:40:14.762
behind rotator cuff tear.
00:40:14.882 --> 00:40:16.342
I understand the sham studies.
00:40:16.443 --> 00:40:17.043
I understand.
00:40:17.422 --> 00:40:18.244
I understand all of it.
00:40:18.384 --> 00:40:20.344
I am just looking for the diagnostic.
00:40:20.423 --> 00:40:21.483
Uh, what,
00:40:21.623 --> 00:40:23.045
what would somebody charge for
00:40:23.085 --> 00:40:23.704
something like that?
00:40:23.764 --> 00:40:26.364
Not treatment, just the diagnostic.
00:40:27.184 --> 00:40:27.505
I mean,
00:40:28.706 --> 00:40:30.065
you could go two routes at the very
00:40:30.106 --> 00:40:30.385
least.
00:40:30.425 --> 00:40:32.025
You could go a hundred bucks at least,
00:40:32.045 --> 00:40:32.226
you know,
00:40:32.306 --> 00:40:33.827
something like it could be
00:40:33.867 --> 00:40:34.407
higher than that.
00:40:34.427 --> 00:40:36.967
Um, also if you were,
00:40:37.027 --> 00:40:38.867
I know you're not trying to
00:40:38.907 --> 00:40:39.907
hire therapists, which,
00:40:40.844 --> 00:40:41.826
We've covered before.
00:40:43.266 --> 00:40:45.407
You could also not charge at all.
00:40:45.527 --> 00:40:46.387
You could have scanning
00:40:46.427 --> 00:40:48.969
events every Wednesday,
00:40:49.030 --> 00:40:49.769
the first Wednesday of
00:40:49.789 --> 00:40:51.050
every month or once or
00:40:51.090 --> 00:40:53.132
twice a month or whatever in an office.
00:40:53.192 --> 00:40:54.532
I've seen this on Instagram.
00:40:54.572 --> 00:40:55.693
I've seen other practices do this.
00:40:55.713 --> 00:40:57.554
So they have like from six to eight p.m.
00:40:57.574 --> 00:40:58.534
or whatever.
00:40:58.554 --> 00:40:59.396
If you have shoulder pain,
00:40:59.416 --> 00:41:00.335
if you have aches and pains,
00:41:00.356 --> 00:41:03.038
if you have foot, ankle, elbow, wrist,
00:41:03.257 --> 00:41:04.559
you can list the joints or whatever.
00:41:05.398 --> 00:41:06.639
Come on, come on down.
00:41:06.998 --> 00:41:08.219
Uh, you know, we'll take a look,
00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:10.260
sign a waiver totally for free.
00:41:10.300 --> 00:41:11.300
We won't even bill your insurance,
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:11.659
whatever.
00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:13.981
And then you can do it like mass market.
00:41:14.021 --> 00:41:14.760
You can try to get in front
00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:15.340
of more people.
00:41:15.621 --> 00:41:16.880
Even the people you scan for free,
00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:18.041
they might go tell someone
00:41:18.422 --> 00:41:19.262
and they might not have
00:41:19.322 --> 00:41:21.121
enough of the urgency to
00:41:21.181 --> 00:41:22.623
like start a plan of care with you guys,
00:41:22.922 --> 00:41:23.722
but they might tell other
00:41:23.742 --> 00:41:24.402
people about it.
00:41:24.782 --> 00:41:25.682
Or you could juice it.
00:41:25.722 --> 00:41:27.864
You could say like, Hey, uh, free scans,
00:41:27.884 --> 00:41:27.923
uh,
00:41:28.643 --> 00:41:30.885
stop on by, but sign the waiver,
00:41:31.005 --> 00:41:32.585
but you have to like take
00:41:32.605 --> 00:41:34.465
an Instagram story or, or a picture,
00:41:34.505 --> 00:41:35.146
you have to post it on
00:41:35.186 --> 00:41:36.987
Facebook or whatever and tag our,
00:41:37.666 --> 00:41:38.807
our practice or drop the
00:41:38.847 --> 00:41:39.668
website or whatever,
00:41:40.128 --> 00:41:41.367
but post the picture of it.
00:41:41.387 --> 00:41:42.268
Like you could kind of juice
00:41:42.309 --> 00:41:43.829
it and use some, you know, social cred,
00:41:44.409 --> 00:41:45.730
but then not charge for the
00:41:45.769 --> 00:41:46.409
actual imaging.
00:41:46.510 --> 00:41:47.710
I think that's a great way to go.
00:41:48.150 --> 00:41:49.110
But yeah, at the,
00:41:49.610 --> 00:41:51.092
at the very least a hundred bucks, I mean,
00:41:51.152 --> 00:41:51.411
we could,
00:41:52.777 --> 00:41:54.159
I know there's another
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:56.641
mobile house call practice
00:41:56.661 --> 00:41:57.541
in New York City that I
00:41:57.561 --> 00:41:58.942
think it's physician and nurses only.
00:41:59.521 --> 00:42:00.282
And they're charging like
00:42:00.322 --> 00:42:01.202
four or five hundred bucks
00:42:01.483 --> 00:42:02.164
for a diagnosis.
00:42:02.184 --> 00:42:03.545
I would have thought two fifty.
00:42:03.565 --> 00:42:05.826
I was going to say two fifty.
00:42:05.846 --> 00:42:06.927
Yeah.
00:42:07.507 --> 00:42:08.447
Especially if it's to you.
00:42:09.606 --> 00:42:10.967
any state practice act
00:42:11.367 --> 00:42:13.048
restrictions or governance
00:42:13.108 --> 00:42:14.030
or anything like that.
00:42:14.630 --> 00:42:16.331
Ryan, you gotta, we gotta get him on here.
00:42:16.692 --> 00:42:18.713
I know it's a, he's in Arizona.
00:42:18.773 --> 00:42:19.634
So they're like, what's that?
00:42:19.693 --> 00:42:22.695
Like two hours or whatever.
00:42:22.755 --> 00:42:23.597
He posted something.
00:42:23.657 --> 00:42:24.398
I probably saved it.
00:42:24.438 --> 00:42:25.077
I can share it with you guys.
00:42:25.137 --> 00:42:26.018
I think I saved it on
00:42:26.059 --> 00:42:27.460
LinkedIn or he can post it again.
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:29.021
He posted like a map of the
00:42:29.101 --> 00:42:30.541
U S and like certain States
00:42:30.561 --> 00:42:32.202
where it's like clearly
00:42:32.222 --> 00:42:33.925
allowed in the practice act.
00:42:34.005 --> 00:42:35.065
And then like maybe a few
00:42:35.085 --> 00:42:36.146
that are like clearly not allowed.
00:42:36.166 --> 00:42:37.568
And then it's like a whole bunch of like,
00:42:38.248 --> 00:42:40.190
Doesn't specifically mention
00:42:40.251 --> 00:42:41.733
it in the practice act, you know,
00:42:41.952 --> 00:42:45.518
so it's it's pretty wide open,
00:42:45.557 --> 00:42:46.099
in my opinion.
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:49.664
OK, I am shocked that I had no idea,
00:42:49.684 --> 00:42:51.527
but I kind of somewhere in
00:42:51.547 --> 00:42:52.367
the back of my head,
00:42:52.407 --> 00:42:53.809
it does seem familiar that
00:42:53.829 --> 00:42:55.010
we might have talked about that.
00:42:56.503 --> 00:42:57.143
But awesome.
00:42:57.565 --> 00:42:57.804
Yeah.
00:42:58.085 --> 00:42:59.905
So that was a great interview.
00:43:00.005 --> 00:43:01.266
Tons of information.
00:43:01.827 --> 00:43:03.849
I love their educational model, you know,
00:43:04.070 --> 00:43:05.231
and I'm not an affiliate
00:43:05.251 --> 00:43:05.791
for them or anything.
00:43:05.891 --> 00:43:08.512
I just think they do a really solid job.
00:43:09.454 --> 00:43:10.574
I am learning, Jimmy,
00:43:10.614 --> 00:43:11.494
I want to hear what you're saying.
00:43:11.715 --> 00:43:12.956
I am learning that there are
00:43:13.056 --> 00:43:14.458
so many more things.
00:43:14.818 --> 00:43:16.039
that we could be doing
00:43:16.418 --> 00:43:17.719
beside just the straight
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:19.121
standard of care.
00:43:20.021 --> 00:43:20.322
And look,
00:43:20.362 --> 00:43:21.561
I've been in this twenty plus
00:43:21.601 --> 00:43:23.304
years and I'm still
00:43:23.384 --> 00:43:24.563
learning all of this new
00:43:24.603 --> 00:43:26.324
stuff that we could get excited about.
00:43:26.826 --> 00:43:27.266
You know,
00:43:27.326 --> 00:43:28.867
talk about those therapists that
00:43:28.907 --> 00:43:29.487
are burnout.
00:43:29.527 --> 00:43:30.768
It's just so sad because
00:43:31.528 --> 00:43:32.429
they're stuck behind the
00:43:32.469 --> 00:43:33.489
wall and they can't see
00:43:33.530 --> 00:43:34.690
what's on the other side.
00:43:35.646 --> 00:43:36.405
So this is where,
00:43:36.905 --> 00:43:37.686
this is what I was going to say.
00:43:37.746 --> 00:43:39.186
Perfect radio segue, Tony,
00:43:39.226 --> 00:43:40.867
which is I just talked to
00:43:40.987 --> 00:43:42.809
Holly from Vi five.
00:43:42.869 --> 00:43:44.048
Are you familiar with Vi five?
00:43:44.088 --> 00:43:45.530
Are you, have you seen Holly on LinkedIn?
00:43:45.949 --> 00:43:47.130
We just connected the other day.
00:43:47.889 --> 00:43:50.210
I forget how that's how social media works,
00:43:50.231 --> 00:43:50.331
right?
00:43:50.411 --> 00:43:51.012
I said something,
00:43:51.052 --> 00:43:52.211
she said something and she's like,
00:43:52.311 --> 00:43:53.351
I'd love to give you a demo.
00:43:53.411 --> 00:43:54.233
And I said, sure,
00:43:54.293 --> 00:43:55.393
but it's gotta be a live stream.
00:43:55.492 --> 00:43:56.393
Like if I'm going to sit
00:43:56.414 --> 00:43:58.313
there for a half hour and she was like,
00:43:58.474 --> 00:43:58.673
okay.
00:43:59.094 --> 00:44:00.074
So she like stepped right up.
00:44:00.534 --> 00:44:02.235
So we tested out StreamYard
00:44:02.275 --> 00:44:03.815
plus her tech because it's
00:44:04.016 --> 00:44:05.157
a virtual platform,
00:44:05.577 --> 00:44:06.637
but it's sort of like it's
00:44:06.677 --> 00:44:07.338
doing like map.
00:44:07.358 --> 00:44:08.438
It's like a wireframe.
00:44:08.938 --> 00:44:10.039
I stood right over here and
00:44:10.059 --> 00:44:11.219
did like a bunch of squats
00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:12.619
and she was able to measure everything,
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:13.659
but I didn't have to put a
00:44:13.699 --> 00:44:14.579
bunch of dots on me or
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:15.340
anything like that.
00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:19.362
What I'm getting at is people,
00:44:19.382 --> 00:44:20.282
the people who are good at
00:44:20.302 --> 00:44:21.282
this technology are
00:44:22.112 --> 00:44:24.034
Don't hire people like Tony
00:44:24.375 --> 00:44:26.876
to help them create content.
00:44:26.896 --> 00:44:28.097
They don't hire people like us.
00:44:28.478 --> 00:44:29.498
And that's where they're stuck.
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:30.039
I mean,
00:44:30.059 --> 00:44:31.840
I've talked to some tech people that say,
00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:32.902
our marketing budget is
00:44:32.922 --> 00:44:34.304
zero because we have a great product.
00:44:34.344 --> 00:44:34.903
And product,
00:44:34.943 --> 00:44:36.065
all you need is a great product.
00:44:36.605 --> 00:44:36.925
And that's it.
00:44:36.945 --> 00:44:39.088
And it's like, well, okay.
00:44:39.387 --> 00:44:40.969
How's that working?
00:44:41.128 --> 00:44:42.230
How many phone calls?
00:44:42.250 --> 00:44:43.251
How many demos have you had
00:44:43.271 --> 00:44:43.831
in the last week?
00:44:44.411 --> 00:44:45.052
Well, none, but...
00:44:46.246 --> 00:44:46.947
It's going to happen.
00:44:47.367 --> 00:44:48.568
Yeah,
00:44:48.588 --> 00:44:49.889
because Apple and Facebook have never
00:44:49.949 --> 00:44:50.670
run ads.
00:44:50.929 --> 00:44:51.871
Google is a perfect product,
00:44:51.891 --> 00:44:52.831
but they've never run an ad.
00:44:52.972 --> 00:44:53.512
Exactly.
00:44:53.552 --> 00:44:55.293
Tell me more about how that works.
00:44:55.835 --> 00:44:56.195
But anyway,
00:44:56.235 --> 00:44:58.556
my point is I'm starting to say
00:44:58.757 --> 00:45:01.400
to these organizations, pitch it to me,
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:02.661
almost like mini Shark Tank.
00:45:02.820 --> 00:45:04.382
And we understand what the
00:45:04.422 --> 00:45:05.623
product is of this podcast,
00:45:05.643 --> 00:45:06.485
which is the audience.
00:45:06.505 --> 00:45:08.206
It's actually not the podcast.
00:45:08.246 --> 00:45:09.547
It's the audience with the podcast.
00:45:10.367 --> 00:45:10.869
Um,
00:45:10.889 --> 00:45:12.710
so we're doing Vi five in the next
00:45:12.751 --> 00:45:13.992
couple of days or weeks.
00:45:14.574 --> 00:45:15.594
She's going to walk people through that.
00:45:15.614 --> 00:45:17.677
But I think the more exposure people have,
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:19.219
in my opinion,
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:20.340
the better make a decision.
00:45:20.822 --> 00:45:22.063
Because I think a lot of my
00:45:22.103 --> 00:45:22.885
decisions when I was
00:45:22.925 --> 00:45:24.226
working in clinic was made
00:45:24.266 --> 00:45:25.367
by the person next to me.
00:45:26.188 --> 00:45:27.070
And the person next to me
00:45:27.090 --> 00:45:27.849
had been a clinician for
00:45:27.889 --> 00:45:29.291
ten or fifteen years longer than me.
00:45:30.012 --> 00:45:32.434
So my view of the world,
00:45:32.974 --> 00:45:33.954
unless I pushed back,
00:45:33.994 --> 00:45:36.878
was sort of shaped by it's not going to.
00:45:36.938 --> 00:45:37.597
And then I'd ask, well,
00:45:37.617 --> 00:45:38.338
what do you know about it?
00:45:38.418 --> 00:45:39.840
Well, nothing, but we're better.
00:45:40.260 --> 00:45:40.880
And I was like, oh,
00:45:40.900 --> 00:45:42.362
that seems like a shady way
00:45:42.422 --> 00:45:43.342
of advancing your
00:45:43.382 --> 00:45:44.463
profession or your knowledge,
00:45:44.563 --> 00:45:46.545
which is it's new and it's not me.
00:45:46.605 --> 00:45:47.166
So I don't like it.
00:45:49.177 --> 00:45:51.340
You know, talking about that yesterday,
00:45:51.561 --> 00:45:54.925
I was researching the short
00:45:54.945 --> 00:45:56.467
videos because you guys know.
00:45:56.487 --> 00:45:57.829
So that one short video I
00:45:57.849 --> 00:45:58.590
shared with you guys.
00:45:58.610 --> 00:45:59.891
Yeah, like a billion.
00:45:59.911 --> 00:46:00.132
Yeah.
00:46:02.695 --> 00:46:03.735
I think it just crossed four
00:46:03.755 --> 00:46:06.197
hundred thousand views in
00:46:06.237 --> 00:46:07.297
like twelve days.
00:46:07.538 --> 00:46:09.219
It's slowed way down now,
00:46:09.259 --> 00:46:10.860
but it bumped the whole channel up.
00:46:10.900 --> 00:46:13.081
So like my my total new
00:46:13.101 --> 00:46:14.362
channel usually gets about
00:46:14.681 --> 00:46:16.342
a thousand subscribers a month.
00:46:16.463 --> 00:46:17.963
We're over three thousand
00:46:17.983 --> 00:46:19.744
subscribers for the month right now.
00:46:20.606 --> 00:46:22.427
Revenue and everything goes up.
00:46:23.297 --> 00:46:25.159
But it got me thinking again.
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:25.498
I'm like,
00:46:25.838 --> 00:46:28.300
I need to get better at the kind
00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:29.942
of short videos that are
00:46:30.021 --> 00:46:31.422
product-based videos.
00:46:32.304 --> 00:46:33.405
So I was doing some research.
00:46:33.545 --> 00:46:35.447
I found a guy who,
00:46:35.567 --> 00:46:36.748
I think he's the developer
00:46:36.768 --> 00:46:38.248
or the owner of something
00:46:38.268 --> 00:46:39.269
called Study Buddy.
00:46:39.849 --> 00:46:41.911
So this is an AI study
00:46:43.751 --> 00:46:46.153
Chrome plugin and app.
00:46:46.594 --> 00:46:48.534
And they had started on a
00:46:48.635 --> 00:46:50.737
different like profession
00:46:51.336 --> 00:46:52.858
and they never really did much.
00:46:53.038 --> 00:46:54.438
And then they moved over to
00:46:54.478 --> 00:46:55.840
this and it just exploded.
00:46:56.380 --> 00:46:58.942
And so I'm looking at his TikTok videos.
00:46:58.961 --> 00:47:00.123
I'm like, I could do this.
00:47:00.262 --> 00:47:01.224
Anybody could do this.
00:47:01.284 --> 00:47:03.324
It's so simple, yet we don't do it,
00:47:03.905 --> 00:47:04.286
you know?
00:47:04.346 --> 00:47:07.027
And so you should see my
00:47:07.068 --> 00:47:09.530
short videos start to change a little bit,
00:47:09.610 --> 00:47:10.351
more of the product
00:47:10.391 --> 00:47:11.731
voiceover kind of videos,
00:47:11.791 --> 00:47:13.112
more of the highlight videos.
00:47:14.373 --> 00:47:15.494
I put out that video about
00:47:15.534 --> 00:47:16.916
the shockwave where I put
00:47:16.956 --> 00:47:18.476
the emoji over the guy's face.
00:47:18.617 --> 00:47:19.998
I've got the release form,
00:47:20.018 --> 00:47:22.079
the media release form to show his face.
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:23.840
And I told him and I've got
00:47:23.900 --> 00:47:24.641
everything like, hey,
00:47:24.661 --> 00:47:26.123
I'm going to share this on social media.
00:47:26.143 --> 00:47:27.023
It's like, yeah, that's great.
00:47:27.043 --> 00:47:27.403
Go ahead.
00:47:27.463 --> 00:47:27.864
I love it.
00:47:29.025 --> 00:47:30.445
But I intentionally did the
00:47:30.485 --> 00:47:33.668
emoji to cover him up just to experiment,
00:47:33.688 --> 00:47:34.728
to see like, OK,
00:47:34.768 --> 00:47:35.750
what is this going to do?
00:47:35.789 --> 00:47:37.271
What does it do when there is no music?
00:47:37.311 --> 00:47:38.172
What does it do when there's
00:47:38.211 --> 00:47:39.333
branded music like all of
00:47:39.353 --> 00:47:40.293
these different things?
00:47:41.474 --> 00:47:44.157
But Dave, I'm doing the research for you.
00:47:44.217 --> 00:47:44.976
And maybe next week,
00:47:45.016 --> 00:47:46.538
we can talk about like,
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:48.199
what are RPM CPMs?
00:47:48.300 --> 00:47:49.860
What can somebody actually expect?
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.443
What is a video and spoiler alert,
00:47:53.123 --> 00:47:55.585
in general, a million view,
00:47:56.045 --> 00:47:58.708
long form video, not short, long form.
00:47:59.248 --> 00:48:01.369
We'll generate about ten thousand dollars,
00:48:01.389 --> 00:48:04.152
a million views, ten thousand dollars.
00:48:05.291 --> 00:48:06.233
So you can kind of put
00:48:06.293 --> 00:48:07.333
numbers behind that.
00:48:07.414 --> 00:48:09.735
But the ranges go from two
00:48:09.755 --> 00:48:11.135
dollars for a thousand
00:48:11.157 --> 00:48:13.177
views up to like my learn
00:48:13.197 --> 00:48:14.259
Medicare billing channel
00:48:14.298 --> 00:48:15.639
does thirty four dollars
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:17.041
per thousand views because
00:48:17.101 --> 00:48:18.581
it's insurance and finance.
00:48:18.961 --> 00:48:20.722
So CPM is cost per milli,
00:48:20.742 --> 00:48:21.724
which is cost per thousand.
00:48:21.744 --> 00:48:23.085
I don't know why it's not CPT,
00:48:23.125 --> 00:48:23.605
but whatever,
00:48:23.985 --> 00:48:24.806
because that's a different code.
00:48:25.467 --> 00:48:26.447
And then,
00:48:27.248 --> 00:48:29.811
but the CPM is different in
00:48:29.851 --> 00:48:31.773
different industries, right?
00:48:31.793 --> 00:48:32.474
Because if you're selling a
00:48:32.514 --> 00:48:33.396
high ticket item,
00:48:33.556 --> 00:48:34.396
it's going to be harder to
00:48:34.496 --> 00:48:35.777
get those views because
00:48:35.797 --> 00:48:36.759
it's more competitive,
00:48:36.798 --> 00:48:39.561
but for everyone connection or sale,
00:48:39.581 --> 00:48:40.463
it's going to be worth more.
00:48:41.063 --> 00:48:43.304
Where's healthcare in the
00:48:43.445 --> 00:48:45.405
hierarchy of CPMs?
00:48:46.186 --> 00:48:48.288
So finance will be up in like the thirty,
00:48:48.327 --> 00:48:51.170
forty dollar CPM, RPM.
00:48:51.570 --> 00:48:52.831
RPM is what you actually
00:48:52.951 --> 00:48:54.552
make per thousand views.
00:48:54.632 --> 00:48:56.172
CPM is what they're selling
00:48:56.213 --> 00:48:57.092
a thousand views for.
00:48:57.132 --> 00:48:58.153
Right.
00:48:58.934 --> 00:48:59.353
Yeah.
00:48:59.994 --> 00:49:02.215
But then my health care channel,
00:49:02.255 --> 00:49:04.275
so my shoulder channel, my knee channel,
00:49:04.735 --> 00:49:05.876
they average about eight
00:49:05.916 --> 00:49:07.737
dollars per thousand views.
00:49:07.757 --> 00:49:10.637
And then I've seen like I've
00:49:10.677 --> 00:49:11.798
talked to therapists who
00:49:11.858 --> 00:49:14.159
have pediatric channels and
00:49:14.179 --> 00:49:15.460
they were down at like two
00:49:15.500 --> 00:49:17.481
dollars or less per thousand views.
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:19.382
So the pediatric stuff is
00:49:19.481 --> 00:49:21.561
really hard to make money on.
00:49:22.043 --> 00:49:23.742
But most of the health care that I've seen,
00:49:24.043 --> 00:49:24.804
you can just say eight
00:49:24.844 --> 00:49:25.864
dollars per thousand.
00:49:26.516 --> 00:49:27.175
Yeah.
00:49:27.376 --> 00:49:28.757
And this is different when you also,
00:49:28.956 --> 00:49:30.617
when you also change who
00:49:30.637 --> 00:49:31.976
the audience is too,
00:49:32.036 --> 00:49:33.438
because a tech company who
00:49:33.478 --> 00:49:34.657
wants to sell the therapist,
00:49:34.697 --> 00:49:35.757
you might say, well,
00:49:35.777 --> 00:49:37.018
there's a limited audience, right?
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:37.759
There's three hundred
00:49:37.838 --> 00:49:39.318
thousand PTs in the country.
00:49:40.059 --> 00:49:42.579
And you can say to a tech bro CEO who goes,
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:43.480
I don't need any marketing.
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:44.039
I'm like, great.
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:45.420
How have you penetrated the market?
00:49:46.661 --> 00:49:47.661
I mean, here's the cheat code.
00:49:47.701 --> 00:49:48.740
I told you guys before I
00:49:48.780 --> 00:49:51.422
walk around APTA CSM Expo Hall and
00:49:52.061 --> 00:49:53.322
And I do mental math of what
00:49:53.342 --> 00:49:54.543
that organization paid to
00:49:54.563 --> 00:49:55.565
be in front of eighteen
00:49:55.585 --> 00:49:56.806
thousand physical therapists.
00:49:56.826 --> 00:49:57.686
That's how many people go
00:49:58.067 --> 00:49:58.786
knowing that you're not in
00:49:58.827 --> 00:50:00.469
front of all eighteen thousand of them.
00:50:00.608 --> 00:50:00.829
Right.
00:50:01.409 --> 00:50:02.530
I knew I knew from working
00:50:02.570 --> 00:50:03.291
at large companies.
00:50:03.590 --> 00:50:05.632
If you got if you got if you
00:50:05.652 --> 00:50:07.373
got a thousand badge scans in a day,
00:50:07.474 --> 00:50:08.655
that is a bad.
00:50:09.135 --> 00:50:10.757
That is a crazy number.
00:50:10.797 --> 00:50:13.398
Like you're not like the ATIs, WebPTs,
00:50:13.418 --> 00:50:14.579
the prompts with like the.
00:50:15.099 --> 00:50:18.740
the balloon, the blimp, and the lasers,
00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:20.282
and the fifteen different flat screens,
00:50:20.342 --> 00:50:20.782
if they're getting a
00:50:20.822 --> 00:50:22.001
thousand badge scans a day,
00:50:22.021 --> 00:50:24.163
that's a really, really, really good day.
00:50:24.503 --> 00:50:26.204
Knowing that even though those badge scans,
00:50:26.344 --> 00:50:27.264
because they're trying to hire,
00:50:27.324 --> 00:50:29.105
the prompts of the world want customers,
00:50:29.144 --> 00:50:30.505
the web PTs want customers,
00:50:30.965 --> 00:50:32.365
the ATIs and the athleticos,
00:50:32.385 --> 00:50:34.586
they want to hire PTs, right?
00:50:35.838 --> 00:50:37.659
Your close rate is not a hundred percent.
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.721
So you just paid how much
00:50:38.780 --> 00:50:39.880
money for three thousand
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:40.922
email addresses knowing
00:50:40.942 --> 00:50:42.802
you're closing five percent
00:50:42.842 --> 00:50:45.304
of those maybe as a customer or a hire.
00:50:45.844 --> 00:50:46.844
So I say do the math.
00:50:47.005 --> 00:50:47.865
What are you doing the other
00:50:47.885 --> 00:50:48.985
three hundred and sixty two
00:50:49.005 --> 00:50:50.166
days a year because CSM is
00:50:50.367 --> 00:50:51.288
only three days.
00:50:52.128 --> 00:50:53.909
do the math this is a viable
00:50:53.949 --> 00:50:55.148
market if you're looking to
00:50:55.389 --> 00:50:56.028
if you're looking to do
00:50:56.068 --> 00:50:57.869
stuff for clinicians and
00:50:57.889 --> 00:50:58.809
then you change it and you
00:50:58.849 --> 00:50:59.771
say now I want the general
00:50:59.831 --> 00:51:01.451
public like your your knee
00:51:01.490 --> 00:51:02.251
channel is not for
00:51:02.311 --> 00:51:03.572
therapists it's for it's
00:51:03.612 --> 00:51:04.632
for people who have knee
00:51:04.692 --> 00:51:06.152
issues right your billing
00:51:06.492 --> 00:51:07.452
your medicare billing
00:51:07.472 --> 00:51:08.793
channel is for therapists
00:51:08.833 --> 00:51:10.034
correct right right
00:51:10.054 --> 00:51:11.393
different audience and you
00:51:11.414 --> 00:51:12.394
can charge differently
00:51:12.655 --> 00:51:14.054
because the value changes
00:51:14.094 --> 00:51:15.775
dave what were you gonna say
00:51:17.250 --> 00:51:19.110
Ten thousand dollars for a million views.
00:51:19.309 --> 00:51:21.510
It seems like a joke.
00:51:21.630 --> 00:51:23.130
Like if I had if I had a
00:51:23.251 --> 00:51:25.391
million views on a video,
00:51:25.451 --> 00:51:28.311
like I would be creating a CPK,
00:51:28.652 --> 00:51:29.452
a cost per kiddle.
00:51:29.771 --> 00:51:30.612
I would make up my own.
00:51:31.052 --> 00:51:32.652
I would I would have it
00:51:32.693 --> 00:51:33.853
would be way more than ten.
00:51:34.152 --> 00:51:35.032
It would be way more than
00:51:35.072 --> 00:51:36.813
ten K. I don't care what the video is.
00:51:37.012 --> 00:51:38.853
I mean, the CPM thing is a joke.
00:51:39.293 --> 00:51:40.193
When Rob Vining and I,
00:51:40.213 --> 00:51:41.954
we used to have people pay
00:51:42.014 --> 00:51:43.414
to come on PT Tech Talk
00:51:43.434 --> 00:51:43.974
when they were really
00:51:44.014 --> 00:51:45.014
bugging us and we were like,
00:51:45.914 --> 00:51:47.237
I mean, if we ask people, we would ask,
00:51:47.356 --> 00:51:47.637
you know,
00:51:48.438 --> 00:51:50.438
Tony Maritato and Jerry and all
00:51:50.500 --> 00:51:50.940
everyone else.
00:51:50.980 --> 00:51:52.001
And obviously there was no
00:51:52.041 --> 00:51:53.222
cost there because we were asking them.
00:51:53.541 --> 00:51:54.923
But then we'd have companies ask us.
00:51:55.664 --> 00:51:57.505
I mean, we didn't have I have no idea.
00:51:57.525 --> 00:51:58.786
We had like basically no
00:51:58.827 --> 00:51:59.788
viewership back then.
00:52:00.268 --> 00:52:01.789
And we had people paying us like two,
00:52:01.809 --> 00:52:02.030
three,
00:52:02.050 --> 00:52:03.972
four hundred dollars to come on for
00:52:03.992 --> 00:52:04.632
an episode.
00:52:05.293 --> 00:52:06.114
One person was paying a
00:52:06.153 --> 00:52:06.914
couple hundred bucks.
00:52:07.534 --> 00:52:09.155
that is that's that's your
00:52:09.215 --> 00:52:10.396
own cpm that's creating
00:52:10.735 --> 00:52:12.835
your own cpm at not relying
00:52:12.896 --> 00:52:14.556
on this throttle down
00:52:14.577 --> 00:52:16.356
version of the not the
00:52:16.376 --> 00:52:18.898
current cpm but you change
00:52:18.918 --> 00:52:20.338
your product there so when
00:52:20.358 --> 00:52:21.358
you're on youtube the
00:52:21.398 --> 00:52:23.159
product is the viewer right
00:52:23.418 --> 00:52:24.798
so it's the viewer when you
00:52:24.900 --> 00:52:25.920
when you when you talk to a
00:52:25.980 --> 00:52:27.059
tech bro who wants to come
00:52:27.099 --> 00:52:28.260
on they're paying access to
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:29.621
your audience I'm
00:52:29.661 --> 00:52:31.181
guaranteeing you access I'm
00:52:31.221 --> 00:52:32.201
letting you in the studio
00:52:32.260 --> 00:52:32.842
and I'm handing you a
00:52:32.862 --> 00:52:34.141
microphone I'm saying go for it
00:52:34.581 --> 00:52:35.882
YouTube's only paying you or
00:52:35.902 --> 00:52:36.623
they're going to pay you
00:52:36.903 --> 00:52:37.824
when people actually stick
00:52:37.844 --> 00:52:38.925
around for things like this.
00:52:39.286 --> 00:52:39.827
Here's the thing.
00:52:39.927 --> 00:52:41.509
I showed a graphic a couple of days ago.
00:52:41.548 --> 00:52:42.170
This was this.
00:52:42.489 --> 00:52:43.610
Different types of content
00:52:43.690 --> 00:52:47.434
based on age and how they engage.
00:52:47.695 --> 00:52:48.795
And if you look at the middle of this,
00:52:48.815 --> 00:52:49.836
this is the middle of the bell curve.
00:52:49.876 --> 00:52:50.878
Long and short form video
00:52:50.898 --> 00:52:52.039
are fives across the board.
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:54.442
Just off the edge, images, podcasts,
00:52:54.481 --> 00:52:54.981
webinars.
00:52:55.322 --> 00:52:57.083
Off the fringes, email newsletters.
00:52:57.784 --> 00:52:59.586
which still is interesting to me.
00:52:59.606 --> 00:53:00.447
I thought email newsletters
00:53:00.467 --> 00:53:01.427
would be higher, but whatever.
00:53:02.128 --> 00:53:04.050
This is a new graphic from Neil Patel.
00:53:04.371 --> 00:53:05.612
I just did a screenshot real quick,
00:53:06.552 --> 00:53:08.815
but this is showing close rate and yeah,
00:53:08.835 --> 00:53:09.436
crappy graphic.
00:53:09.456 --> 00:53:10.076
You got to zoom in.
00:53:10.096 --> 00:53:11.217
But what it's saying is it's
00:53:11.257 --> 00:53:13.318
showing the effectiveness
00:53:13.358 --> 00:53:14.641
of those different content types.
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:15.501
So I'll just sort of give
00:53:15.521 --> 00:53:18.664
you like the nuts and bolts
00:53:18.704 --> 00:53:19.704
since the graphic is crappy
00:53:19.724 --> 00:53:20.385
and most people listening
00:53:20.425 --> 00:53:21.246
on a podcast anyway.
00:53:21.606 --> 00:53:24.168
But podcast is on one far one end,
00:53:24.329 --> 00:53:25.829
great for awareness,
00:53:26.329 --> 00:53:28.050
but lower on decision making.
00:53:28.090 --> 00:53:28.791
It's saying, listen,
00:53:28.831 --> 00:53:30.012
it's eighty five percent
00:53:30.432 --> 00:53:31.914
effective in terms of awareness,
00:53:32.273 --> 00:53:33.574
five percent decision making.
00:53:33.875 --> 00:53:36.396
On the other side of the
00:53:36.456 --> 00:53:38.778
funnel is a case study or a webinar.
00:53:39.398 --> 00:53:40.559
Not great for awareness,
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:42.001
getting people to know about you.
00:53:42.101 --> 00:53:43.041
But if they're already there,
00:53:43.061 --> 00:53:44.461
it's further down the funnel,
00:53:44.481 --> 00:53:45.222
as we'd call it.
00:53:45.643 --> 00:53:47.143
They're more apt to make a
00:53:47.184 --> 00:53:47.905
decision that doesn't mean
00:53:48.144 --> 00:53:49.144
a good decision for you or
00:53:49.184 --> 00:53:49.945
bad decision for you.
00:53:50.206 --> 00:53:50.806
but they're going to either
00:53:50.927 --> 00:53:51.827
opt in or opt out.
00:53:51.867 --> 00:53:52.349
Like, yes.
00:53:52.668 --> 00:53:53.369
So if you were selling
00:53:53.429 --> 00:53:54.692
diagnostic ultrasound,
00:53:55.052 --> 00:53:56.414
launching a podcast about
00:53:56.474 --> 00:53:57.715
diagnostic ultrasound,
00:53:57.956 --> 00:53:59.639
great for awareness of that,
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:01.079
not necessarily great to
00:54:01.099 --> 00:54:02.963
close and sell those things, but,
00:54:03.291 --> 00:54:05.112
But if you pair that with a
00:54:05.172 --> 00:54:06.773
case study about how Dave
00:54:06.893 --> 00:54:07.914
uses it in his practice and
00:54:07.934 --> 00:54:08.936
how much money he makes, right,
00:54:08.956 --> 00:54:10.978
the case study, not great for awareness.
00:54:10.998 --> 00:54:11.697
But when you get those
00:54:11.737 --> 00:54:13.440
people there further down the funnel,
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:15.481
they're more apt to make a decision.
00:54:16.001 --> 00:54:17.744
Not saying if it's a yes or no decision,
00:54:17.784 --> 00:54:18.503
but they're like, yes,
00:54:18.543 --> 00:54:20.306
this is great because it's more dense.
00:54:20.826 --> 00:54:22.788
So what I'm getting at is
00:54:22.927 --> 00:54:24.568
curate who you're trying to talk to.
00:54:25.525 --> 00:54:28.027
who, what their problems are,
00:54:28.188 --> 00:54:29.268
what your solutions are,
00:54:29.409 --> 00:54:30.811
and where their problems
00:54:30.831 --> 00:54:31.891
and your solutions cross,
00:54:32.152 --> 00:54:32.853
that's your why.
00:54:32.932 --> 00:54:34.233
That's what Simon Sinek says,
00:54:34.253 --> 00:54:34.914
start with why.
00:54:35.175 --> 00:54:36.195
I disagree a little bit again.
00:54:36.436 --> 00:54:37.597
I think you start with who and what.
00:54:38.177 --> 00:54:39.077
Then when you get to why,
00:54:39.117 --> 00:54:40.739
that's when the magic actually happens.
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:42.081
But I think these two graphs,
00:54:42.101 --> 00:54:43.242
I'll get a better one of this one,
00:54:44.322 --> 00:54:45.503
help people say when they say,
00:54:45.523 --> 00:54:46.724
I gotta start creating content.
00:54:47.666 --> 00:54:48.286
What kind?
00:54:48.407 --> 00:54:49.027
For who?
00:54:49.487 --> 00:54:50.628
What problems are you solving?
00:54:50.708 --> 00:54:51.728
Why are you doing this?
00:54:52.190 --> 00:54:53.831
I think a lot of therapists
00:54:53.851 --> 00:54:54.911
specifically are just like,
00:54:54.972 --> 00:54:55.931
I know I need to do stuff
00:54:55.952 --> 00:54:56.672
because I see other people
00:54:56.693 --> 00:54:57.574
doing stuff and everybody's
00:54:57.594 --> 00:54:58.554
saying content, content.
00:54:58.873 --> 00:54:59.514
They try it.
00:54:59.554 --> 00:55:00.476
It doesn't work.
00:55:01.956 --> 00:55:03.338
So I think you do need to create content.
00:55:03.358 --> 00:55:05.539
This also means you need to
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:06.739
put some money behind that as well.
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:07.440
If you think you're just
00:55:07.460 --> 00:55:08.382
going to fling things into
00:55:08.402 --> 00:55:09.601
the void and have it work,
00:55:09.762 --> 00:55:10.583
I'm very sorry.
00:55:10.882 --> 00:55:11.603
It's probably not.
00:55:12.630 --> 00:55:14.032
now dave I think I think you
00:55:14.052 --> 00:55:14.873
guys were ahead of the
00:55:14.913 --> 00:55:16.094
curve like yeah you
00:55:16.135 --> 00:55:18.277
monetize with paid you
00:55:18.297 --> 00:55:19.657
monetize with sponsorships
00:55:19.697 --> 00:55:21.000
you monetize with affiliate
00:55:21.019 --> 00:55:22.922
income like um I know
00:55:22.942 --> 00:55:23.623
therapists that have
00:55:23.643 --> 00:55:25.083
reached out to me that have
00:55:25.184 --> 00:55:26.244
you know channels in the
00:55:26.364 --> 00:55:27.487
several hundred thousand
00:55:27.527 --> 00:55:29.568
subscribers they're doing
00:55:29.708 --> 00:55:31.150
five-figure deals for
00:55:31.251 --> 00:55:35.135
sponsored content so one of my goals was
00:55:35.635 --> 00:55:37.556
If I could get ten product
00:55:37.576 --> 00:55:39.036
companies to sponsor a
00:55:39.077 --> 00:55:40.297
thousand dollars a month,
00:55:40.617 --> 00:55:41.157
that's one hundred and
00:55:41.177 --> 00:55:42.838
twenty thousand dollars, you know,
00:55:42.858 --> 00:55:44.880
just income to to support
00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:45.739
the YouTube channel.
00:55:46.019 --> 00:55:47.001
Dave, what were you going to say?
00:55:49.541 --> 00:55:51.443
With that graphic that Jimmy just shared,
00:55:51.922 --> 00:55:53.164
I feel like we've kind of
00:55:54.244 --> 00:55:57.425
verbally done informal type case studies.
00:55:57.485 --> 00:55:58.365
I feel like like when you've
00:55:58.405 --> 00:55:59.306
talked about like.
00:56:00.338 --> 00:56:01.139
whether it's Shockwave,
00:56:01.179 --> 00:56:02.298
whether it's Biodex,
00:56:02.318 --> 00:56:03.900
different... Now we talked
00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:05.260
about diagnostic ultrasound.
00:56:05.659 --> 00:56:06.679
I talked about Stimpod.
00:56:07.721 --> 00:56:08.721
I talked about Stimpod like
00:56:09.001 --> 00:56:10.541
once or twice here and then
00:56:10.701 --> 00:56:11.501
once on my show.
00:56:11.581 --> 00:56:12.981
And I have PTs that reach
00:56:13.061 --> 00:56:14.581
out to me and then they've
00:56:14.661 --> 00:56:16.121
gone and bought the five
00:56:16.141 --> 00:56:17.143
thousand dollar Stimpod.
00:56:17.503 --> 00:56:19.782
So I feel like, yes, I agree, Jimmy.
00:56:19.802 --> 00:56:20.523
Like, yes, of course,
00:56:20.563 --> 00:56:23.083
this is like top of the funnel awareness,
00:56:23.103 --> 00:56:24.324
like anything online like this.
00:56:25.003 --> 00:56:28.204
But do you guys agree or have we done...
00:56:29.184 --> 00:56:30.907
some informal style case
00:56:30.927 --> 00:56:32.188
studies or is it case studies?
00:56:32.268 --> 00:56:33.409
I know it's really like
00:56:33.429 --> 00:56:34.269
that's like white paper
00:56:34.289 --> 00:56:35.490
with real data and all that.
00:56:36.170 --> 00:56:37.291
Have we done things in the
00:56:37.353 --> 00:56:38.233
middle or not really?
00:56:39.253 --> 00:56:40.275
I think it's reality.
00:56:40.614 --> 00:56:41.456
I think it's reality.
00:56:41.635 --> 00:56:43.338
I think the minute every one
00:56:43.358 --> 00:56:44.239
of these things had a great
00:56:44.259 --> 00:56:45.400
camera and a microphone on it,
00:56:45.739 --> 00:56:47.001
you became your own TV station.
00:56:47.021 --> 00:56:49.402
So you democratized attention.
00:56:49.443 --> 00:56:50.344
You didn't need an FCC
00:56:50.384 --> 00:56:51.085
license and a hundred
00:56:51.125 --> 00:56:52.827
thousand dollar transmitter
00:56:52.887 --> 00:56:54.108
to then reach a million
00:56:54.148 --> 00:56:55.369
people in your neighborhood.
00:56:55.889 --> 00:56:56.590
So yeah,
00:56:56.650 --> 00:56:58.490
I think this is the new version of that.
00:56:58.570 --> 00:57:00.452
I think we're well past that.
00:57:00.552 --> 00:57:01.733
Yeah, I think we have.
00:57:01.932 --> 00:57:02.514
I think we have.
00:57:02.554 --> 00:57:03.693
I think it's more impactful
00:57:03.733 --> 00:57:06.096
when it's not a hard sell webinar,
00:57:06.155 --> 00:57:07.257
go buy this thing.
00:57:08.547 --> 00:57:10.429
And that goes back to my original idea.
00:57:10.469 --> 00:57:10.989
I'm like, shoot,
00:57:11.070 --> 00:57:12.972
if I'm taking recording
00:57:13.012 --> 00:57:15.034
content every single day in my clinic,
00:57:15.815 --> 00:57:16.876
product placement,
00:57:16.996 --> 00:57:17.817
just like you see in a
00:57:17.856 --> 00:57:19.077
movie where there's a Diet
00:57:19.097 --> 00:57:22.460
Coke sitting in the actor's hand product.
00:57:22.961 --> 00:57:23.882
You guys remember,
00:57:23.983 --> 00:57:26.304
was it what was the movie
00:57:26.344 --> 00:57:28.487
where the guy lives on camera and
00:57:29.748 --> 00:57:30.409
Truman show.
00:57:30.528 --> 00:57:32.112
And like they turn the brand,
00:57:32.472 --> 00:57:33.333
you guys are going to start
00:57:33.393 --> 00:57:35.137
seeing me do that kind of stuff.
00:57:35.797 --> 00:57:37.842
But seriously, like, do you think,
00:57:38.182 --> 00:57:39.304
do you think it's an accident?
00:57:41.226 --> 00:57:42.867
that there's a vestibular
00:57:42.887 --> 00:57:45.528
model in the background right there.
00:57:45.548 --> 00:57:46.130
I had no idea.
00:57:46.150 --> 00:57:46.429
I had no idea.
00:57:46.449 --> 00:57:47.829
That is really subconscious.
00:57:47.849 --> 00:57:49.130
Just subliminal.
00:57:49.891 --> 00:57:50.711
Now, my new studio,
00:57:50.751 --> 00:57:52.072
the shelf will be a lot closer.
00:57:52.371 --> 00:57:53.072
You don't think that there's
00:57:53.092 --> 00:57:53.853
going to be a vestibular
00:57:53.873 --> 00:57:55.494
model just over my shoulder
00:57:55.873 --> 00:57:56.833
every single video?
00:57:57.255 --> 00:57:57.335
Oh,
00:57:57.394 --> 00:57:58.614
this has nothing to do with vestibular.
00:57:58.894 --> 00:57:59.496
No, it's just there.
00:57:59.516 --> 00:57:59.996
It's just art.
00:58:01.795 --> 00:58:01.976
All right,
00:58:02.056 --> 00:58:03.657
let me kick off closing thoughts,
00:58:03.677 --> 00:58:04.476
parting shots.
00:58:06.057 --> 00:58:08.298
I agree with Dave on everything.
00:58:09.260 --> 00:58:12.061
So much of today's show, yeah,
00:58:12.081 --> 00:58:13.442
we were in total agreement.
00:58:14.862 --> 00:58:16.103
I think we agree that
00:58:16.163 --> 00:58:17.443
telehealth has its place.
00:58:17.523 --> 00:58:19.664
It's not going to replace hands-on PT.
00:58:20.545 --> 00:58:21.965
We agree on a lot of stuff.
00:58:22.126 --> 00:58:22.846
And, you know,
00:58:23.085 --> 00:58:25.226
hopefully once I get home today,
00:58:25.847 --> 00:58:27.427
my basement won't be underwater.
00:58:27.768 --> 00:58:28.929
Dave, parting shot.
00:58:30.846 --> 00:58:31.505
Parting shot,
00:58:31.666 --> 00:58:33.766
I am gobsmacked that Tony
00:58:33.786 --> 00:58:34.726
just said he's agreed with
00:58:34.786 --> 00:58:36.047
everything I said on the show.
00:58:36.146 --> 00:58:36.728
Wonderful.
00:58:37.128 --> 00:58:38.367
Great to finally have him
00:58:38.407 --> 00:58:39.788
migrate to my side.
00:58:41.929 --> 00:58:46.789
Parting shot with the
00:58:46.809 --> 00:58:47.849
diagnostic ultrasound,
00:58:48.130 --> 00:58:49.931
it's high barrier to entry, but
00:58:50.702 --> 00:58:50.983
very,
00:58:51.023 --> 00:58:53.463
very rewarding in terms of like the
00:58:53.503 --> 00:58:54.804
therapeutic alliance and
00:58:55.563 --> 00:58:56.704
all that type of great
00:58:56.724 --> 00:58:58.405
stuff where we can redirect
00:58:58.425 --> 00:59:00.226
patients to our physical
00:59:00.246 --> 00:59:01.025
therapy plan of care.
00:59:01.085 --> 00:59:03.507
And like that road of health and wellness,
00:59:03.847 --> 00:59:05.206
instead of historically, it's like,
00:59:05.527 --> 00:59:07.547
you know, MRI pills, medications,
00:59:07.608 --> 00:59:08.688
injections, surgery,
00:59:08.728 --> 00:59:09.447
like a little bit more of
00:59:09.487 --> 00:59:11.088
like the medical model overuse,
00:59:11.268 --> 00:59:11.889
in my opinion,
00:59:12.028 --> 00:59:12.949
of all those medical
00:59:12.989 --> 00:59:14.650
services for patients.
00:59:14.952 --> 00:59:15.952
Orthopedic conditions that
00:59:16.052 --> 00:59:16.972
usually would get better
00:59:17.054 --> 00:59:18.173
regardless of almost
00:59:18.233 --> 00:59:18.835
regardless of which
00:59:18.855 --> 00:59:20.056
physical therapist you go see.
00:59:21.597 --> 00:59:22.838
So that's my parting shot.
00:59:23.806 --> 00:59:24.806
Jimmy, what do you got?
00:59:24.826 --> 00:59:25.507
We'll start with the thing
00:59:25.527 --> 00:59:26.527
we were talking about in the beginning,
00:59:26.567 --> 00:59:29.027
Tony and I, which is good, fast,
00:59:29.047 --> 00:59:29.449
or cheap.
00:59:29.768 --> 00:59:32.829
Decide the cost of this
00:59:32.869 --> 00:59:34.090
project or this process or
00:59:34.110 --> 00:59:35.090
this thing you're going to implement.
00:59:35.510 --> 00:59:36.711
Look at it from good, fast, and cheap.
00:59:36.731 --> 00:59:37.612
Is it going to save you time?
00:59:37.632 --> 00:59:38.452
Is it going to be better?
00:59:38.893 --> 00:59:39.733
Is it going to be cheaper
00:59:39.753 --> 00:59:40.793
than you could do it yourself?
00:59:40.813 --> 00:59:42.315
And then decide from there, right?
00:59:42.355 --> 00:59:43.094
Because your time is
00:59:43.155 --> 00:59:44.596
actually your most valuable asset.
00:59:44.615 --> 00:59:44.896
Dave?
00:59:46.436 --> 00:59:46.697
Sorry,
00:59:47.297 --> 00:59:49.617
that was one A. My one B parting shot.
00:59:50.398 --> 00:59:51.679
It literally does not matter
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:53.141
if Sword Health and Hinge
00:59:53.161 --> 00:59:53.940
Health and all these others
00:59:54.282 --> 00:59:55.842
do artificial intelligence
00:59:56.003 --> 00:59:56.702
physical therapy.
00:59:57.304 --> 00:59:59.144
It will be an absolute joke.
00:59:59.244 --> 01:00:00.826
No one will even take it seriously.
01:00:01.626 --> 01:00:02.507
No one's really going to pay
01:00:02.527 --> 01:00:03.867
for it if it's standalone service.
01:00:04.969 --> 01:00:05.568
Don't get mad.
01:00:06.009 --> 01:00:07.110
Don't get mad on Facebook or
01:00:07.289 --> 01:00:08.110
LinkedIn or anywhere else.
01:00:08.130 --> 01:00:08.610
If you're a physical
01:00:08.630 --> 01:00:09.632
therapist and you're scared,
01:00:11.972 --> 01:00:13.193
AI is going to treat the
01:00:13.233 --> 01:00:14.215
seven hundred patients and
01:00:14.235 --> 01:00:14.994
we're going to fire all the
01:00:15.014 --> 01:00:15.675
physical therapists.
01:00:15.996 --> 01:00:16.376
Great.
01:00:16.737 --> 01:00:19.699
Like it is never going to replace.
01:00:20.860 --> 01:00:23.163
what physical therapists do in person,
01:00:23.382 --> 01:00:24.043
in my opinion.
01:00:25.365 --> 01:00:25.726
All right, guys,
01:00:25.746 --> 01:00:26.909
we'll see you guys next Tuesday.
01:00:27.590 --> 01:00:28.090
Uh, Tony, good luck.
01:00:28.831 --> 01:00:29.211
Thank you.
