Please let me take a moment to welcome myself back. I started the thing, did the thing, succeeded with the thing, failed, and I'm back for more. This episode is rather somber, given the state of the world but it's also a call to action. It's time to be the leaders the world needs. It's time for Season 2. I'll share what I've got coming, What's Next. Tune in and join me, to quote Simon Sinek: Together is Better.
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Gabbi Whisler. She is works PRN in Home Health and runs her own business at the same time. However, her business isn't your typical PT endeavor.

In Episode 15, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Christi Park Riley, logging on from all the way out near Seattle!

As a veteran PT, she has seen a lot, done a lot, and her experience provides valuable context and perspective for us younger PT's. A Physical Therapist to her core, Christi embodies kintsugi, an art that has an indescribable impact on her patients and community as a whole that became the defining inspiration for her practice.
In this episode, I chat with Dr Josh Simons, a PT in Florida who left his stable job for a chance at higher opportunities.

In this episode, I was fortunate enough to chat with Meghan Wieser after we originally met in July at a CEU course where she said something that really struck a chord with me. Obviously it's in the title. I know, I ruined the "hook" to get you to listen. But by not telling you anything else, now you have to listen to hear how she got there, what she learned along the way, and what she actually does that makes her day as a PT so incredible. Hah, there's your new hook.
