Cash PT Trends 2025: What We Learned in Dallas + The New Industry Report In this episode, Doc Danny Matta and Yves Gege unpack takeaways from their Dallas live event and preview PT Biz's new Cash PT Industry Report. They cover what's working now across pure cash, hybrid, and out-of-network models; why continuity and small-group training are surging; and how the talent market is shifting as more solo owners choose to join established cash clinics. Quick Ask Help us move toward the mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to our profession: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny—he'll reshare it. Episode Summary From beginners to builders: PT Biz events now draw ~200 owners focused on scaling, not just getting started. No single “right” model: Cash-only, hybrid, out-of-network, Medicare-focused, and gym-like setups can all work—business principles drive success. Continuity is up: Many clinics now get 20–40%+ of monthly visits from recurring performance/wellness work—stabilizing revenue. Small-group training wins: Huge LTV and stick rate; still underused (only ~¼ of clinics are doing it). Talent trend: More solo owners are approaching larger cash clinics for roles with culture, mentorship, and intrapreneurship tracks. Reality check on pay: Compensation must tie to the revenue a provider can generate; entitlement ≠ value creation. Macro shift: Rising deductibles & wellness demand push all clinics to add self-pay services—cash PT is no longer fringe. Live Event Takeaways Owner mindset: Conversations have matured—hiring, leadership, profitability, systems, and scaling to $100k–$200k/month per site. Market fit varies: Geography, payer mix, and demographics dictate whether to stay pure cash, add OON, or blend Medicare. Community compounding: Member-to-member playbooks (what worked, what didn't) are often the most valuable part of events. The Industry Report: What to Watch Continuity growth: Bigger clinics show higher % of recurring visits, needing fewer new evals to fill schedules. Underutilized small groups: High demand among “post-injury but not gym-ready” clients; strong margins and retention. Diversified offers: Performance, strength, and longevity programs de-risk revenue and increase lifetime value. Small-Group Training: Why It Works Checks the boxes: Strength, mobility, accountability, and community—with clinicians nearby if issues arise. Cost-effective for clients: Often similar to PT weekly or personal training—but with better adherence and social glue. Team friendly: Therapists enjoy variety and fewer notes; can be delivered by PTs or trained coaches under clinical oversight. Career Pathways & The “Unemployable” Test Two good options: Go all-in on ownership or join a high-performing cash clinic as an intrapreneur (clinic director, partner track). Value first, then ask: Promotions/partnerships follow demonstrated impact, not tenure. Reputation compounds. Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Launch continuity now: Create 1–2 simple monthly options (e.g., strength + mobility; return-to-sport). Pilot a small group: 4–8 clients, 2x/week, 8 weeks. Price for value, track retention, collect testimonials. Map your model: List your market realities (Medicare, Tricare, local payer rates, boomer density) before choosing cash/hybrid. Hire from the doers: Prioritize applicants who've tried solo—“batteries included,” better respect for business realities. Benchmark & iterate: Compare your prices, packages, and continuity % to the industry report; fix one lever each month. Notable Quotes “There isn't one right model—principles win. Leads in, lifetime value up, recruit well, lead well.” “Continuity compacts the snowball. When 30–40% of your visits are recurring, everything gets easier.” “If you want stability without owning every problem, be an intrapreneur—create value, then opportunities chase you.” Action Items Download the Cash PT Industry Report and benchmark your prices, packages, and continuity %. Sketch a small-group pilot (who it's for, schedule, price, progression) and pre-sell 6–8 spots. Define two continuity offers with clear outcomes and a simple monthly cadence. Write a one-page model map for your area (payers, demographics, demand) and choose cash-only vs hybrid accordingly. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Systems to get you full-time in your clinic. Mastermind: Scale space, team, and operations. PT Biz Part-Time to Full-Time 5-Day Challenge (Free): Expenses, visit targets, pricing, 3 paths to go full-time, and a one-page plan.

Why Clinic Directors Leave for Staff Roles in Cash-Based PT Clinics In this solo episode, Doc Danny Matta dives into a surprising trend: why clinic directors in high-volume corporate practices are stepping away from leadership roles to take staff positions in cash-based clinics. Drawing from real conversations with clinicians, Danny outlines the trade-offs, hidden advantages, and how owners can use this to attract top talent. Episode Summary The scenario: A former clinic director left a high-volume corporate setting to join a cash-based clinic as a staff PT. Danny's perspective: Having lived through high-volume burnout himself, he understands the trade-offs firsthand. Three main drivers: Work-life balance, career longevity, and clinical satisfaction. Hiring insight: Not every candidate is motivated purely by money—culture and lifestyle can be stronger magnets. The owner's role: Competitive pay plus clear growth opportunities help retain ambitious clinicians. Key Takeaways Work-life balance matters: Lower volume means more energy left for family and life outside the clinic. Career longevity: Cash-based settings reduce burnout, helping PTs stay in the profession longer. Clinical satisfaction: Freedom to deliver care at the highest level leads to more fulfillment. Compensation must be “good enough”: Salaries should be close to in-network staff PT rates, not predatory commission-heavy models. Growth pathways: Talented hires want to see opportunities to step into leadership as the clinic expands. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Ask interviewees about their life goals, not just clinical experience. Benchmark compensation to local staff PT salaries—not clinic director pay. Highlight work-life balance as a superpower of your model. Share your long-term vision—show candidates where they can grow with you. Prioritize culture fit: team members work with you, not for you. Notable Quotes “Work-life balance is your superpower. Don't leave it off the table in interviews.” “For many clinicians, lower volume isn't about making less—it's about being able to go home with energy left for family.” “If you can match staff PT pay and provide growth, you'll never struggle to hire talent.” Action Items Review your comp structure—does it compare to local staff PT rates? Build a simple career pathway (staff → senior → leadership) and share it with recruits. Revisit your clinic's culture pitch: emphasize lifestyle, impact, and autonomy. Schedule time with your team to discuss what they want their careers and lives to look like. Resources & Links PT Biz Website Free 5-Day PT Biz Challenge

My guest for Episode #325 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Phillip Cantrell, EVP of Strategy at United Real Estate, founder of Benchmark Realty, and author of Failing My Way to Success: Lessons from 42 Years of Winning and Losing in Business. EPISODE PAGE WITH VIDEO, TRANSCRIPT, AND MORE Phillip reflects on more than four decades of entrepreneurial ups and downs across printing, real estate, and related ventures. He openly shares how devastating mistakes—including putting “all his eggs in one basket”—forced him to reinvent his approach. What looked like a catastrophe in 2007–2008 became the turning point that fueled Benchmark Realty's rapid growth to nearly 2,000 agents. “Failure is going to happen. If you don't make mistakes, you're not doing anything.” In this conversation, Phillip and I talk about the difference between scaling vs. scrambling, the dangers of playing “not to lose” instead of “playing to win,” and why documenting processes is essential for growth. He also explains why your only real competitor is “the man in the mirror” and how daily reflection helps him learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them. This episode is packed with timeless lessons on leadership, resilience, and learning from failure—whether you're in real estate or any other industry. “If you play not to lose in business, you're already losing.” Questions and Topics: What's your “favorite mistake” from your career? How did putting “all your eggs in one basket” impact Benchmark Realty? What did you learn from losing agents and clients during the mortgage crisis? How did you develop the flat-fee brokerage model, and what risks did you see at the time? Did you ever doubt whether that new model would work? How did you rebuild Benchmark from five agents to nearly 2,000? Why is it important to look outside your own industry for best practices? What do you mean by the difference between scaling and scrambling? How does documenting processes create better outcomes? Why do you say your only real competitor is “the man in the mirror”? What role has reflection and journaling played in your leadership growth? What advice would you give younger entrepreneurs about learning from mistakes?
Extended stay dominates today's #hospitality development pipeline—and I spoke with Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, on No Vacancy Live to break it down. Here's what we covered:
Successful insurers have always been in the business of gaining a competitive edge in the form of better information and intelligence. Going right back to the days of early marine underwriters funding improved communication between global ports and ship operators, the best players have always made sure they had the clearest possible view of the risk in front of them both, at a granular, individual level and then at the portfolio level. But there's more to it than that. The most successful underwriters today are now able to do all of their analysis and assessment at the sort of speed that would have been impossible even a decade ago. Because they can cut turnarounds from days to minutes they can hugely increase the number of submissions they can handle and therefore greatly improve their chances of selecting the best and most optimally profitable risks for their portfolios. It's clear that with the advent of smart underwriting workbenches that enable underwriting teams and their managers to blend multiple information sources and better dissect and digest risk, we are in the middle of a revolution in the way that underwriting is handled. So join me, Ali Shahkarami Head of Risk Data Solutions - Insurance & Public Sector at Swiss Re (pictured, Bottom) and Simon Fagg, Global Head of pre-Sales Solutions at AdvantageGo (pictured, Top) as we explore what the new benchmark for quality underwriting is going to look like in the digital age. The business unit that Ali runs is at the cutting edge of risk information, providing definitive resources such as CatNet to the global market and Simon is an underwriter who has developed his career to become a pre-eminent advocate of the application of technology to the underwriting process. Between these two excellent guests we have all the expertise we need and what follows is lively and enlightening discussion that will leave you in no doubt as to the industry direction of travel and what you need to do to position your business for differentiated growth in the coming years.

“If you're trying to find the very best growth businesses on the planet – a benchmark isn't a sensible place to start.” Baillie Gifford's chief executive Tim Campbell explains the advantages of our style of active investing, the importance of long-termism and how AI fits into our process. Background:In April, Tim Campbell became Baillie Gifford's chief executive and one of its managing partners. Earlier in his career, he was an investment manager before switching to Client Services, where he led our Emerging Markets Clients Team.In this podcast, he explores how our investment teams adopted a conviction-led approach that centres on each company's merits, regardless of its weighting in benchmark stock indices. He describes what we mean by long-termism and the importance of having the right incentives in place. And he explains why being “out of step” with some market trends helps us serve both society and our clients' interests.The second half of the show focuses on changes afoot, ranging from further private company investments – including a recent holding in AI lab Anthropic – to our own adoption of artificial intelligence technologies and an exploration of new ways to access our strategies.

If you've ever struggled with making construction schedules truly reliable, this episode is a must-listen. Jason continues his series on the Last Planner System with a deep dive into the 2020 Benchmark, breaking down what's working, what's missing, and where the industry needs to head next. From field engineering as the backbone of quality and safety, to the real meaning of reliable promises, Jason unpacks how detailed task breakdowns, constraint removal, and full-kit readiness set the stage for project success. He also shares insights on: Why lookahead planning is more than just a meeting, it's a commitment to roadblock-free work. How Percent Plan Complete (PPC) can mislead you, and the better metric you should be tracking. Why integration with Takt planning and flow-based work packaging is essential for the next generation of Last Planner. The Benchmark's push for target value delivery, adaptability, and continuous learning. This isn't theory, it's practical, battle-tested insight designed for builders who want to lead with clarity, reliability, and flow. If you're ready to level up your planning game and see how Last Planner ties directly to Takt and real project delivery, hit play now.

When tennis legend Serena Williams announced her 30+ pound weight loss using GLP-1 medication, the internet exploded with opinions. Some celebrated her transparency, others questioned the decision, but most people missed the real conversation entirely. Using a world-class athlete as your litmus test for whether this medication makes sense for your life is honestly fucking crazy—and here's why your context matters more than her endorsement. In this episode we dive into:• Why comparing your health decisions to elite athletes is setting you up for failure• The difference between using expert guidance versus outsourcing your entire decision-making process• How to evaluate ANY tool (GLP-1 included) based on your actual reality, not someone else's highlight reel• The identity shift that makes any approach sustainable long-termThe Context You're Actually Operating In• The trap of thinking "if she needs it, I definitely need it" without considering lifestyle differences• Why Serena's family history of diabetes and joint pain created a legitimate medical case• How her lifetime of peak performance discipline differs from your Tuesday afternoon motivation• The marketing reality behind celebrity endorsements that you can't ignoreWhat Actually Makes Tools Work• Why medication becomes a band-aid without habit and identity changes underneath• The research process that separates thoughtful decisions from social media influence• How to adopt elite-level consistency in your actual daily reality• The questions about long-term sustainability that most people skip entirelyYour Real Benchmark for Success• Why your work schedule, stress levels, and family obligations shape what's realistic for you• The difference between shortcuts and strategic tools in your specific context• How to think critically about any health decision instead of following someone else's blueprint• Why your results have to be yours to actually stickThis conversation reminds us that context is everything when it comes to sustainable change. Whether you're considering GLP-1 medication or any other tool in your health journey, this episode offers the framework to make decisions that actually align with your life instead of someone else's highlight reel.Looking for more on making decisions that fit your reality?

Was verändert sich in einem Depot nach drei Jahren? In meiner neuen Podcastfolge spreche ich mit Hörer Markus über seine Investmentreise: Von Dividendenwachstum bis Value Investing, warum er zweimal zur Berkshire Hathaway-Hauptversammlung gereist ist, welche Fehler im Depot passieren – und wie er sie reflektiert und daraus lernt.Vor drei Jahren war Markus schon einmal bei mir im Podcast – jetzt haben wir uns erneut zusammengesetzt und über seinen Weg als Privatanleger gesprochen.Seit 2022 hat sich sein Portfolio stark verändert: von 22 auf 42 Einzelaktien. Dabei verfolgt er weiterhin eine klare Dividendenstrategie, kombiniert mit dem Anspruch, nachhaltig wachsende Unternehmen auszuwählen. Der Besuch der Berkshire Hathaway Hauptversammlung in Omaha hat seinen Blick auf Value Investing geschärft – Benchmark ist für ihn nicht mehr nur die Marktrendite, sondern auch ein stabiles, risikoärmeres Depot.Wir sprechen in der Folge auch über typische Anlegerfehler: Käufe zum falschen Zeitpunkt, zu geringe Tech-Gewichtung, Depot-Leichen oder die schwere Frage, wann der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Verkaufen ist. Besonders spannend ist Markus' Blick auf aktuelle Themen wie die Pharmabranche, Zölle in den USA, Inflation und die Rolle von Managemententscheidungen in Unternehmen.Sein Ziel ist klar: Ein stetig wachsender Dividendenstrom für die private Altersvorsorge – ohne dabei die langfristige Performance aus den Augen zu verlieren.
