Are you a private practice owner hitting a growth ceiling? Many PT entrepreneurs find themselves "trapped" by the very business they built, buried in spreadsheets, compliance, and billing, leaving little time for the clinical passion that started it all. In this live episode from APTA CSM, Will Humphreys sits down with Bobby Curtis and Casey Russell. They dive deep into the "Brand of Brands" philosophy, explaining how practice owners can leverage the resources of a national powerhouse while maintaining the local identity and community relationships that make their clinics special. Whether you are a new grad looking for a leadership path or a seasoned owner looking for an exit strategy that preserves your legacy, this conversation is a masterclass in balancing purpose and profit. Key Takeaways: * The "Brand of Brands" Strategy: Why maintaining your local identity is more effective than "white-washing" clinics with a national logo. * Bandwidth Reclamation: How offloading back-office tasks (billing, HR, compliance) allows owners to return to community relations and high-level leadership. * Quality Before Quantity: Why mastering clinical dosing and movement patterns is the fastest way to drive long-term profitability. * The Scoreboard Mentality: Using metrics not as a "money grab," but as a report card for patient care and clinical outcomes. * Internal Impact: The shift from being a technician to being a mentor who empowers the next generation of PT leaders.

Building Values That Create Warriors with Jarom Woodbury

Jarom Woodbury is a professional MMA fighter turned physical therapist, regional director at OSR Physical Therapy, and a father of three. In this episode he breaks down how he built a "Warrior Code," a set of seven family values lived out through weekly meetings, daily habits, and hard conversations. Will and Jarom unpack the Point Story Lesson behind real values. The point: a value is not a word on a wall, it is what you do daily. The story: Jarom's pro fight where he got caught in a chokehold, heard his "inner coward" tell him to tap out, and chose to fight back instead. The lesson: the only true failure is quitting, and every leader, parent, or business owner can build a system that turns belief into action. They cover the inverted U principle and managing arousal under pressure, why accountability means clarity not just pressure, how to run a weekly values meeting with kids or a team, and why admitting imperfection builds more trust than pretending to have none. Key Takeaways: * Values are actions, not words. A value only counts if it shows up in daily habits.  * The Woodbury Warrior Code. Jarom's family lives by seven values: Integrity, Honesty, Honor, Compassion, Courage, Loyalty, and Respect. * Repetition makes values stick. Jarom calls it paramount. You can't set a value once and expect people to internalize it.  * The inverted U principle. Performance rises with arousal up to a point, then declines. Too relaxed and you underperform, too keyed up and you make costly mistakes.  * Accountability means clarity, not just pressure. It's not only checking someone's numbers. It's making sure expectations are clear, realistic, and understood, then helping people hit them. * The inner coward. Mid-fight, choked from behind, Jarom heard a voice telling him to tap out and that no one would blame him. He calls that voice the inner coward, the part of all of us that wants the easy way out. * The only true failure is quitting. Quitting is the only outcome that closes the door for good. * Lead by example or it doesn't count. Waking up early, doing the hard thing, showing up consistently is the real teaching. * Admitting imperfection builds trust. What matters is owning it, apologizing, and showing them how to ask for forgiveness. * Gratitude rewires your mindset. A short nightly gratitude journal, just two to five minutes, helps program the subconscious toward noticing and seeking more success.

How AI Is Quietly Saving Rehab Practices From the Inside Out with Sarah Bootcheck

In this episode of the Willpower Podcast, recorded live at the Growth Code Conference, Will sits down with Sarah Bootcheck, Account Manager and Speech Language Pathologist at Raintree, to talk about one of the most important shifts happening in rehab right now: artificial intelligence transforming the way therapy practices operate from the inside out. Sarah brings a rare perspective to this conversation. She is both a clinician who has worked in the trenches of pediatric speech therapy and a technology professional who now helps practice owners understand and leverage the tools that can change the trajectory of their business. That combination makes her one of the most credible voices in this space. Together, Will and Sarah break down exactly how Raintree, one of the most experienced EMR platforms in the therapy space, made a bold decision to evolve or risk becoming irrelevant. After hearing directly from their largest clients that change was non-negotiable, Raintree acquired Yumi, an AI company that had already developed one of the first AI scribes built specifically for physical therapists. That acquisition became the foundation for ten new products and enhancements rolled out across 2025. In this episode you will learn: * ScribeIQ and AI documentation in rehab * NoteIQ clinical insights and patient progress tracking * SchedulerIQ and the future of front office automation * AI versus AI in medical billing and RCM * Why therapists are the most underprotected professionals in healthcare * How virtual assistants and AI work together to protect revenue * The 29% effective revenue loss hitting every outpatient practice Subscribe to the Willpower Podcast for weekly conversations with OT, PT, and SLP owners sharing what is working right now. * Connect with Sarah Bootcheck on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-bootcheck/] * Learn more about Raintree EMR at https://www.raintreeinc.com/ [https://www.raintreeinc.com/]  * Learn more about Virtual Rockstar at virtualrockstar.com [http://virtualrockstar.com] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2291391/fan_mail/new] Virtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.

Eric Boles on Why holding people accountable is the most loving thing you can do as a leader

Eric Boles is a former NFL wide receiver turned executive coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The Game Changers Inc. In this episode, Will and Eric go deep on the real reason teams fail and it's not talent, motivation, or attitude. It's alignment, clarity, and the courage to have direct conversations. In this episode you'll learn: * What Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, and Jon Gruden taught Eric about running an elite organization * Why most team problems are awareness problems, not attitude problems * The difference between "what I want from you" and "what I want for you"  and why both matter * How to set up "pre-success" instead of doing endless post-mortems * Why withholding hard feedback is actually the selfish choice * The 80/20 principle applied to relationships, leadership, and life * How to use AI as a thought partner (not just a task automator) * Why culture is dictated by what's tolerated, not by how happy everyone is Connect with Eric: * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-boles/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-boles/] * Instagram: @ericboles_ [https://www.instagram.com/ericboles_/] * Facebook: @ericboles [https://www.facebook.com/eric.boles.98] * Company: https://thegamechangersinc.com/ [https://thegamechangersinc.com/] Book mentioned: * The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2291391/fan_mail/new] Virtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.

How Two Complete Opposites Built One of Arizona's Fastest-Growing Pelvic Health Practices with Tara Sullivan and Kylee Austin

What does the perfect business partnership look like? According to Kylee and Tara, it looks like two people who are complete opposites, in the most perfect way. In this episode, Will sits down with the co-founders of Mind to Body Healing, one of Arizona's fastest-growing pelvic floor physical therapy practices. From a bold cold introduction at a student lecture to signing five-year leases together, Kylee and Tara have built something that goes far beyond a clinic. They have built a movement. Here is what you will learn in this episode: * What Makes Their Partnership Work They describe their dynamic as yin and yang, what one loves, the other does not.  * The Business Model Breakdown Mind to Body Healing operates as a cash-based pelvic health practice.  * Why Pelvic Health Matters for Everyone Both Kylee and Tara came to pelvic health as patients first. They were dismissed, minimized, and told their pain was not real. That experience is exactly why they do what they do.  Resources Mentioned: * Mind to Body Healing (clinic): m2bhealing.com [http://m2bhealing.com/] * PelviEd (provider education): pelvied.com [http://pelvied.com/] * Book: Available at pelvied.com [http://pelvied.com/] If you are a PT practice owner, a provider in pelvic health, or anyone trying to build something meaningful in healthcare, this episode is for you.
