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 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.
