Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be. THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with longtime friend Dr. Drew Contreras, a retired Army physical therapist who went from supporting soldiers in combat to becoming the first full-time physical therapist embedded in the White House Medical Unit.Drew shares what he learned caring for everyone from White House staff to Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden – and why the fundamentals of human performance matter even more when time is your most valuable resource. From encouraging naps during relentless work schedules to introducing walking meetings at the White House, Drew explains how small changes can help people stay functional under extraordinary pressure.The conversation also explores the changing role of physical therapy, why PTs should be doing more than treating injuries one patient at a time, and how technology such as digital health and AI could reshape the profession.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat working with two sitting U.S. presidents taught Drew about keeping people functional under extreme pressureWhy naps, walking meetings, and other simple interventions can make a major difference during sustained periods of high-stress workHow physical therapists became a “force multiplier” for keeping soldiers healthy and operational during deploymentWhy Drew believes physical therapists should play a bigger role in performance and musculoskeletal primary careWhy embracing new technology such as digital health and AI will be essential for the future of physical therapyKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro to Dr. Drew Contreras(02:55) How a Combat PT Got Handpicked for the White House(07:00) The Birthday Basketball Game That Started It All(12:05) Building a Wellness Culture in the White House(19:15) What Actually Moved the Needle on Health(22:05) Naps, Walking Meetings, & Reframing Work(26:30) Deploying as One of the First Combat PTs(31:00) PT as Human Performance, Not Just Rehab(33:20) Treating Obama vs. Biden – Different Ages, Different Needs(38:50) Leading the APTA & Scaling Physical Therapy(43:45) The Money Problem in Physical Therapy(53:30) PT as Musculoskeletal Primary Care(1:00:30) AI, Digital Health, & the Future of PT(1:04:21) What the Presidency Really Does to a Person(1:11:30) Infinite Shelf: Legacy by James KerrHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, BEDGEAR, and Momentous.

What should you do after an osteoporosis diagnosis? There is so much information online about bone health, and it can be overwhelming to figure out what is safe and what is necessary. In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime colleague and patient advocate Sally Fullman to answer some of the most common osteoporosis questions we hear from our community. We talk about where to start after an osteoporosis diagnosis, looking for root causes, and building the right care team. We also dive into calcium from food versus supplements, the types of calcium I prefer, what to know about strontium, and how to approach exercise safely and effectively for stronger bones. We also cover weighted vests, posture, spinal movement, finding osteoporosis-trained physical therapists and exercise programs, and things to consider for people at higher fracture risk. I hope this conversation helps you feel less overwhelmed and more confident about the steps you can take to protect and improve your bone health. "We don't often take the time to think about what's inside our bodies, our bones, because we don't see them. And yet they do help us achieve our dreams." ~ Sally Fullman, PhD In this episode: [00:00] - Introduction: how Sally became a patient advocate [05:07] - Recommended first steps after an osteoporosis diagnosis [08:38] - Calcium tracking via nutrition, high-oxalate food traps, and types of calcium supplements [19:22] - The limited efficacy of weighted vests [23:28] - Finding safe exercise programs and utilizing specialized physical therapists [35:02] - Vetting social media fitness claims and finding reputable information [39:12] - When osteoporosis medications may be appropriate [42:58] - Overcoming the fear of falling: tips on home safety improvements [47:42] - Raising early preventive awareness for children and teens Resources - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - https://tinyurl.com/mybonehealthexercises - Discounted Supplements at Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless - Hip Protectors - https://tinyurl.com/hipprotectors (Use coupon code HAPPYBONES for a 10% discount) - Cronometer app - https://cronometer.com/ - Calcium content of food Sally mentioned from the International Osteoporosis Foundation - https://www.buildbetterbones.org/nutrition-and-diet - BoneFitTM - https://www.bonehealthandosteoporosis.org/bonefit-usa/ - Learn About the Benefits of Exercises - https://www.buildbetterbones.org/exercises - Find a Physical Therapist - https://www.choosept.com/ - The ONERO® Program - https://onero.academy/osteoporosis-exercises/ More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Physical therapist Sherry Brourman has had to tell many Hollywood stars and pro athletes how to walk properly. The "Walk Yourself Well" author gives quick tips on how most people need to correct how they walk in order to stay healthy. She says we should swing arms and buy running shoes instead of walking shoes. This short 1998 interview is from "Winzenburg on the Weekend" on WHO radio in Des Moines, Iowa.

The month I invested ten thousand dollars in coaching, I made five hundred and four dollars and seventy cents.Most people hear that and think — that's terrifying. But here's what I know now that I didn't know then: waiting until you're more financially stable to invest in coaching is one of the most expensive habits in business. And jumping in before you're ready wastes money too.So how do you actually know which side of that line you're on?In this episode I share the honest answer — including the one thing that predicts whether coaching works for you better than any revenue number, the specific signs you're actually ready, the signs you're not, and a simple four-question gut check to make the decision without the spiral.We also get into what my own client data says about the real cost of waiting, why the debt conversation is more honest than most people make it, and the mirror moment that every service-based business owner needs to hear before they decide.This is episode three in the series "What I've Spent on Coaching and What It Actually Got Me."

Cherie DeVille's story begins long before adult entertainment. She was already a licensed physical therapist with a successful career when she began exploring modeling. She was also a professional swing dancer and participated in 1940s-style pinup modeling. A photographer introduced her to Model Mayhem, where she began taking modeling work on the weekends. What started as a way to earn some extra money eventually led to an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles and shoot an adult film. Cherie describes the decision as less of a career move and more of a bucket-list experience. She wanted to be able to look back on her life and know she had taken unusual opportunities rather than wondering what might have happened. But after her first film, something unexpected happened: she loved it. The work, the production environment, the people, and the creative side appealed to her personality. What she initially considered an experiment gradually became a legitimate career. From Performer to Business Owner One of the most interesting parts of the episode is Cherie's explanation of how the economics of the industry have changed. When she began, performers largely worked for production companies. Those companies controlled the production, including the crew, wardrobe, makeup, locations, distribution, and marketing. Today, the barrier to becoming an independent creator is dramatically lower. Cherie explains that creators can now produce and distribute their own material with minimal equipment and infrastructure. The result is an industry where performers can increasingly operate as their own companies rather than simply working for someone else's production. How OnlyFans Changed the Game Cherie believes OnlyFans fundamentally changed the relationship between creators and audiences. The important innovation wasn't simply selling videos online. It was creating a system where fans could interact directly with performers. That created a new business model based around content + personal interaction + audience relationships. Cherie explains that she can earn more through direct fan interaction even while selling more traditional content elsewhere. Custom content and personal communication allow fans to feel much closer to the creator they follow. The New Creator Economy Steve asks whether someone starting an OnlyFans account today has already missed the opportunity. Cherie's answer is no—but with an important qualification. She argues that modern adult entertainment is increasingly a marketing business. Building an audience on platforms such as Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, or other social platforms can be more important than simply being a talented performer. In other words: Build the audience first. Then monetize the attention. That idea fits directly into the philosophy of Screw the Clout: understanding attention, personal branding, entrepreneurship, and what happens when you turn an audience into a business. Cherie vs. The Character Perhaps the biggest misconception about Cherie is that her on-screen personality represents who she is privately. She explains that “Cherie DeVille” is essentially a brand and character designed around a particular fantasy and audience expectation. Off camera, she's much more introverted and nerdy than people might expect. She enjoys: Video games Dungeons & Dragons Puzzles Books Tea Spending time at home Her cat That contrast between the public persona and the private individual is one of the most revealing parts of the conversation. Fame or Money? During the rapid-fire segment, Cherie chooses money over fame. Her reasoning is surprisingly practical: money can create security and generational wealth, while excessive fame can eliminate the ability to live a normal life. She says she would actually prefer maintaining enough anonymity to be able to go grocery shopping without constantly being recognized. The Final Message The episode ends with one of Cherie's strongest answers. When Steve asks what she would say to someone who is ready to quit pursuing their dream, Cherie argues that people shouldn't abandon their passions simply because those passions aren't immediately profitable. You may need a conventional job to pay the bills, but that doesn't mean you have to stop creating, performing, painting, dancing, making music, doing comedy, or pursuing whatever genuinely gives you purpose. Her underlying message is simple: Money is necessary, but passion is necessary too. And you don't need anyone else's validation to keep pursuing something that matters to you.

What's really happening when the room starts spinning? And how can you tell the difference between common vertigo and dizziness that may signal something more serious? On this episode of Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy, pharmacist Brad White talks with Andy Beltz, Physical Therapist and Therapy Assistant Manager for Aultman Tuscarawas and Aultman Therapy in Dover, about vertigo and the clues healthcare professionals use to uncover its cause. Andy explains the importance of the "Big Three" — triggers, timing and nystagmus — and how these clues can help distinguish between different causes of dizziness. The conversation covers dizziness when rolling over in bed, sudden episodes that last for hours, symptoms triggered by busy environments, and when dizziness should be treated as a medical emergency. You'll also learn what to do during a vertigo episode, what information to track at home, why getting the right diagnosis matters, and what to consider if you've been told "everything is normal" but you're still experiencing dizziness. https://www.medshoprx.com/blogis-the-room-spinning-what-your-vertigo-may-be-trying-to-tell-you

MouseChat.net – Disney, Universal, Orlando FL News & Reviews
Lisa, Debbie "Sharpie," and Steve sit down with Steven, a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Orlando and host of the Happily Ever Active podcast, to talk about how to actually get your body ready for a Disney World vacation — before you ever set foot in the parks. Steven breaks down how most people walk only 4,000–5,000 steps a day but need to handle 20,000+ at Disney, and why that sudden jump (not the walking itself) is what causes sore feet, back pain, and injuries like plantar fasciitis and shin splints. He shares his progressive walking plan to build up mileage in the 1–3 months before your trip, the real rules for buying park-ready shoes (heel cup, toe box, breaking them in at the end of the day), how to prevent and treat the dreaded "Disney rash," chafing fixes for hot, humid park days, and the right way to wear a backpack so it doesn't wreck your shoulders and back by 3pm. The crew also digs into packing smart for a day in the parks, hidden bench and ledge spots for a quick sit-down break in line, stretches you can do in the queue for Rise of the Resistance, and how to pace a multi-generational family trip so grandma, grandpa, and the kids all actually enjoy the day instead of melting down during "Mickey's Magical Meltdown" hour. Steven's free resources, walking program, water station map, and his book Disney Ready: Your Pain-Free Parks Survival Guide are all available at fitforthemagic.com.

A couple of quick notes: I flagged the guest's name as "Steven" throughout (distinct from host Steve) and I gave him credit for "Doctor of Physical Therapy" based on what he said in the episode — worth a quick glance before you publish to make sure I got his title and site name (fitforthemagic.com) exactly right. Want me to trim this down to a shorter version for the Blubrry field if there's a character limit, or draft a companion blog post / show notes page for pixievacations.com or the Griswold Family Vacations site off the same content?

The Real Reason You Still Can't Pay Yourself with Craig Dacy Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/ You billed more this month than you ever have, and you are still moving money around to make payroll on Friday. If that combination makes no sense to you, it is not because something is wrong with your business. It is because nobody ever showed you the gap between doing the work and getting paid for it, and that gap is quietly running your cash flow instead of you. Craig Dacy, a Certified Profit First Professional who left a decade of teaching fourth grade to coach small business owners on money, joins Rocky to break that gap down using physical therapy practices as the proof case, where insurance pays 60 to 90 days after the visit while staff get paid the same week. The mechanics apply just as directly to net-30 invoices, retainage, and progress billing, wherever you are financing your own payroll out of pocket without realizing it. In This Episode: Why insurance-based and delayed-payment businesses feel cash-poor even when they are profitable The real cost of paying staff $35 to $40 an hour against a reimbursement that has not landed yet Why most owners price payroll against the wrong number, and what the loaded cost of an employee actually includes The utilization-rate trap that happens when a percentage-of-collections pay structure moves to salary The "new zero" method for redefining the account balance that should trigger action How a float or insurance-hold account absorbs a 60-to-90-day payment gap The Keep, Cut, Trim exercise for reviewing expenses without waiting for perfect books A real example of a seasonal irrigation company that added snow plowing and Christmas lights to survive a 3-to-4-month zero-revenue winter Key Takeaways: Track bank balances monthly to catch a shrinking or growing trend before it becomes a crisis. Build a float account specifically to absorb the delay between doing the work and getting paid for it. Redefine your "zero." A padded baseline triggers a decision, not a scramble. Small trims compound. $30 to $50 a month across five to ten line items adds up fast. Price using the fully loaded cost of an employee (wage, benefits, PTO, employer FICA), or you are systematically underpricing your own labor. About Craig Dacy: Craig Dacy, owner of DACY Financial Coaching, has helped hundreds of small businesses, with a focus on Physical Therapists, find confidence and clarity in their finances. After spending over a decade as an educator, Craig combines his knack for small business and love for teaching to help make the overly complicated concept of business finances incredibly simple to understand. Craig lives in Austin, TX with his wife and 2 kids. When he's not spending time with his family, he can be found reliving "the good old days" as the lead singer and bass player for his 90s cover band, Zoodust.

If you're a licensed wellness practitioner — a physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, or massage therapist — trying to build online income without adding more sessions to your week, a workshop or webinar is one of the fastest ways to get warm leads in front of you. But most practitioners pick a date first and figure out the rest later, and that's why the workshop fills with eleven people who already know them and buys nothing at the end. Alison McLean, DPT, is a physical therapist and yoga therapist who built her own six-figure online practice and now mentors licensed practitioners doing the same. In this episode she walks through the three questions to answer before you announce anything.Here are the three questions, and why the order matters:Do you have an audience, or do you need to borrow one? Most practitioners have neither the list size nor the reach to fill a room on their own yet. That isn't a problem — it just means the plan is a borrowed-audience plan, and a borrowed-audience plan looks completely different from a "post it to my stories" plan.What are you offering after the workshop? This is where the money is. If you don't know the answer before you build the slides, the workshop becomes a free class you taught for exposure. Decide the offer first, then build backward from it.Are you building a one-time event, or a repeatable system? A one-time event pays you once. Inside the 100K Online program there's a lesson called Turn One Workshop into a Client Magnet — the whole point is that the same workshop keeps producing leads long after the live date. That's program work, but the decision you make here is what determines whether you rebuild from scratch every single time.Alison teaches the full workshop build inside 6-Figure Lead Generating Workshops That Convert — workshop topic, workshop framework, and how much to actually give away in the value portion. This episode covers the WHAT and the WHY. You don't need a huge audience to make workshops work. You need to answer these three questions before you pick a date.FAQ:Do I need a big email list to run a successful webinar? No. You need either an audience or a borrowed one, and a plan for which.What should I sell after a free workshop? Decide the offer before you build the workshop, not after.How many people do I need to sign up for a workshop to make it worth it? Fewer than you think, if the offer at the end is priced for the outcome.Are workshops still worth it for physical therapists and yoga teachers in 2026? Yes — they remain one of the highest-converting lead sources for licensed practitioners.Suggested tags/keywords: workshops for wellness practitioners, webinar for physical therapists, online business coach for licensed practitioners, how to fill a workshop, lead generating workshops, yoga teacher online income, massage therapist online businessFollow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wellunbound/Ready to work with me?

If MS symptoms feel heavier in the summer… or after a hot shower, a walk in the sun, or a workout that didn't used to wipe you out, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm walking you through heat sensitivity and heat intolerance in multiple sclerosis (MS). Why heat can make fatigue, brain fog, spasticity, and walking difficulties ramp up, what's actually happening inside your nerves when it does, and what you can do about it. Not in a "just stay inside until October" way. In a "here's the mechanism and here's your plan" way. Here's what we cover

One of the most common questions I get from clinicians building their own practice is some version of the same thing: "How do I know when it's time to leave my job?"The honest answer is that waiting until it feels right is the strategy most likely to keep you employed indefinitely. The practices that grow fastest aren't built by people who waited until they felt ready. They're built by people who had a plan and followed it.In this episode I walk you through the exact exit strategy framework we use inside DPT to CEO with every student who is still employed when they start building their practice. This isn't about quitting impulsively. It's about making a smart, strategic transition that protects your income while building something real on the other side.We cover how to assess where you're starting from and what your current employment situation means for your timeline, how much you actually need saved before you make a move and how to think about it like a teeter totter, the revenue milestones that tell you exactly when it's time to reduce hours or leave entirely, why students who stay full time indefinitely have the hardest time growing, and the mindset shift that separates the clinicians who make the leap from the ones who keep waiting.If you've been telling yourself you'll go all in once things feel more stable, this episode is going to reframe what stable actually means.--- Morgan Meese, the founder of a successful out-of-network physical therapy practice, has transformed her expertise into a role as a dedicated business and marketing coach.

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm talking with my friend Margie Bissinger, a Physical Therapist and Integrative Health Coach who has spent over 35 years helping women prevent and manage osteopenia and osteoporosis. Bone loss is especially important to think about during peri-menopause and menopause, because the greatest loss in bone density happens within 2 years of menopause (or cessation of your menstrual cycle). More than 50% of women will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Wow! There is SO much we can do to help prevent bone loss – and it's not just about eating yogurt or lifting weights. There is research we can refer to and experts, like Margie, who've been creating content to help women. Margie hosts the Happy Bones Happy Life podcast and co-founded the Bone Health Academy, where she trains practitioners in her approach to bone health. Margie started helping women with osteoporosis when a group of endocrinologists asked her to see their patients with osteoporosis. She was upset to see well-intentioned women being told simply to "exercise," with no real guidance, so they turned to trainers or did whatever they could find, sometimes doing exercises that actually increased their fracture risk. That drove her to get involved on the state and national level, and she wrote one of the first books on exercise and osteoporosis. What Margie has seen over and over is that when people are given knowledge and tools, they CAN turn their bone health around. A scary diagnosis becomes a catalyst: people get stronger, eat better, reduce stress, and life improves. We're here to help you!

Be sure to use the code PDEDUCATION at checkout to receive a discount: https://lvnta.com/lv_ipnUBU2K33mzi8eRd4 In this episode (watch on YouTube), I share 20 of the most important things I've learned from working with people living with Parkinson's Disease as a physical therapist. Some are clinical observations. Some are misconceptions that need to be challenged. Others are lessons about resilience, humanity, and the incredible strength of the Parkinson's community. We talk about: • Why Parkinson's is far more than a movement disorder • The hidden world of non-motor symptoms • Tremors, freezing, festination, dystonia, and dyskinesia • Why stress and emotion can worsen physical symptoms • The complicated relationship between medication and symptom management • The neuroprotective role of exercise and physical therapy • Why Parkinson's remains misunderstood — even within healthcare • And why the people living with Parkinson's continue to inspire me every single day This episode is not meant to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is a conversation shaped by years of clinical experience, evidence-based rehabilitation, and most importantly, the people who trusted me to be part of their journey. Whether you are living with Parkinson's, caring for someone who is, or simply trying to understand the disease better, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed, more seen, and more hopeful.

Hiring the right clinician can become one of the biggest drivers of growth in a cash-based physical therapy practice. Doc Danny explains the three foundational traits clinic owners should prioritize when evaluating candidates: clinical obsession, the ability to educate, and genuine empathy. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why hiring the wrong clinician can slow clinic growth Why experience alone does not guarantee a strong hire How to identify clinical obsession during an interview Why great clinicians continue improving throughout their careers How strong patient education creates clarity and buy-in Why empathy and emotional intelligence matter in a cash practice How mock evaluations can reveal more than traditional interview questions Why clinic owners should hire for foundational traits and train the rest Key Takeaway The strongest clinician hires are not always the most experienced. Prioritize candidates who care deeply about outcomes, communicate with clarity, and connect with patients through genuine empathy. Those traits are difficult to teach, while many technical skills can be developed over time.

Main topics covered: · Jared's experience with HLH and its impact on his physical and mental health · The role of physical strength in identity and recovery · Strategies for mental resilience and navigating uncertainty · Managing self-worth and detaching from outcome-driven validation · Building and scaling a coaching business amidst personal challenges · Lessons on delegation, mindset, and embracing imperfection Timestamps: · (00:00) – Introduction and pandemic of adversity: Jared's journey begins · (01:45) – Experiencing HLH: initial symptoms and misdiagnosis · (06:39) – The physical and emotional toll during hospital stay · (09:50) – Understanding HLH and its mortality rate · (11:19) – Sedation, dreams, and memory blackouts during critical illness · (15:10) – The role of muscle mass and physical strength as life insurance · (18:11) – Emotional aftermath: grief, identity loss, and rebuilding · (20:30) – Overcoming physical atrophy and mental challenges in recovery · (22:19) – Transition from hospital to home and ongoing rehab · (24:48) – Ongoing management of diagnosis and vision loss · (33:49) – Powerlifting comeback and celebrating life with family · (34:46) – Lessons in resilience and continuing reinvention · (36:18) – Building a business with clarity amidst declining vision · (37:05) – The importance of mindset, delegation, and embracing fear · (43:02) – Final message: "You are not done yet" Resources & Links: · Crucial Conversations by Al Switzler, Joseph Grenny, and Ron McMillan · Jared's Instagram · The Confident Sports Clinician's Checklist More About Jared: Jared Maynard is a Physical Therapist, strength coach, powerlifter, ClinicalAthlete provider, business owner and speaker who believes that "you're not done yet." In 2023, after nearly two decades of lifting and a decade of coaching, Jared was diagnosed with HLH—a rare, often fatal immune condition that landed him in the ICU on life support. His body broke down, the last treatment failed and the doctors prepared his family for the end. But his life was saved by two things: a miraculous recovery, and the muscle he built through the years spent in the gym. He woke up in the ICU as skin and bones – 40 pounds lighter, and unable to walk, talk or breathe on his own. Just over 1 year later, he returned to powerlifting to deadlift a lifetime PR – then did it again three months later. Now, despite being legally blind and navigating progressive vision loss, Jared's mission is clearer than ever: to give you the skills, support and hope to rebuild after everything falls apart. Through his business, Unbreakable Strength, he's the coach who helps coaches and clinicians beat decision fatigue, get out of pain, and build strength & confidence. He speaks on podcasts and stages as living proof of what's possible when you believe that "you're not done yet."
