  • How AI Can Transform Private Practice Marketing | Greg Goodman | TPOT 413
    Dec 22 2025

    I am so excited for today's episode because we're diving into one of the most transformative tools in private practice right now: AI. And joining me is someone who has been living at the intersection of mental health, creativity, and digital marketing for nearly two decades—Greg Goodman of Goodman Creatives.

    Greg isn't a therapist, but his story is rooted deeply in the world of mental health. Inspired by his father's work as a clinician, he built a career helping therapists share their voice, grow their practices, and create meaningful impact through smart, authentic marketing. Today, he runs an international creative agency that exists to support helpers—and now he's leaning all the way into how AI can make marketing more accessible than ever.

    In our conversation, Greg and I talk about the real, practical ways therapists can use AI to save time, generate powerful copy, create content with confidence, and stand out in a growing field. We also explore the ethical concerns around AI, the importance of keeping our humanity in the process, and how to train AI to actually sound like you.

    If you've been curious—or even hesitant—about how AI fits into your private practice, this episode is going to open your eyes to what's possible. Greg brings a blend of heart, tech wisdom, and decades of industry experience, and I can't wait for you to learn from him.

  • Why Private Practice Owners Feel Overwhelmed (and How to Fix It) | Samantha Parrinello | TPOT 412
    Dec 15 2025

    If you've ever ended a workday wondering, "Where did all my time go?"—this episode is going to change the way you run your business.

    In today's conversation, I sit down with executive coach Samantha Perinello, a powerhouse in helping business owners reclaim their time, streamline their operations, and finally build the kind of practice that doesn't rely on them for every little task. Samantha has a remarkable track record—her clients regularly get back 10 to 14 hours every single week—and she's here to break down exactly how that happens.

    We dive into the real reasons so many private practice owners feel overwhelmed, why multitasking is quietly sabotaging your productivity, and how simple habits like time audits, brain dumps, and strategic delegation can completely shift the way you work.

    If you've been craving more freedom, more focus, and more room to actually grow your business (instead of just keeping it afloat), this is an episode you don't want to miss. Samantha's insights are practical, energizing, and genuinely transformative.

    Tune in and learn how to take back control of your time—and your practice.
