The PT’s Financial Playbook: Protect Your Income, Time & Future

Original Airdate: October 17, 2022 — Remastered Description

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re making the right financial moves as a clinician, this episode is your playbook.


Will Butler, PT turned financial advisor, breaks down the real-world money lessons every therapist wishes they learned in school—from disability insurance to income protection to keeping more of the money you work hard to earn.


Will’s mission is simple: help clinicians build financial confidence so they can build better careers and better lives.


In this episode, we cover:

  • How football shaped Will’s approach to financial planning
  • What every clinician must know about disability insurance
  • Key financial tools that protect your income and reduce stress
  • Why financial literacy matters for every adult (and especially PTs)


Why this conversation matters:

You can replace a job. You can replace money.

You can’t replace time.

Smart financial decisions buy back your freedom.
