About this listen
Technical skill didn't build my business — leadership, hard lessons, and uncomfortable growth did. In this episode, I share the real story behind building a sports physical therapy practice from the ground up:
✔️ Why PT school didn't prepare me for ownership
✔️ The mistakes I made hiring, scaling, and trying to do everything myself
✔️ What actually worked better than I expected
✔️ How my leadership changed as the business grew
✔️ What I'm doing differently heading into 2026
This isn't a highlight reel. It's an honest look at the transition from clinician to CEO — the risks, the pivots, the burnout, the clarity, and the growth that shaped both me and Physical Therapy San Pedro. If you're a physical therapist, health care professional or fitness expert considering ownership, already in business, or simply navigating leadership and growth — this episode is for you.
