The Healthcare Rebellion with Dr. Frank Benedetto

Overcoming Money Mindset Issues In Private Practice with John Coleman

Most healthcare providers got into this profession because they genuinely want to help people. And somewhere along the way, that calling gets twisted into a belief system that says struggling financially makes you more ethical. That charging what you're worth is somehow greedy. That building wealth and serving patients well are things that can't coexist. John Coleman is here to dismantle that entire belief system. He's an investor, entrepreneur, and author of the book Good Money, and someone who has spent years helping high performers reconcile a tension that most clinicians know all too well: how do you build real wealth without becoming consumed by it? In this conversation, John and I go deep on the hedonic treadmill that traps high performers, why the financial finish line might be the most important concept you've never heard of, the relationship between wealth, purpose, faith, and impact, and why building wealth responsibly actually allows you to serve more people, not fewer. Whether you're just starting your first private practice or you already have financial success but you're still restless, I think this one is going to hit home.

From Life Support to Life Purpose: Jared Maynard’s Unbreakable Story

What would it take for you to finally start taking care of yourself? Jared Maynard is a physiotherapist, strength coach, and one of the longest-standing members of the HoneyBadger Project community. In 2023, he was put on life support with a 50 to 75 percent mortality rate. His doctors told his family to say goodbye. And then, inexplicably, he began to recover. The 40 pounds of muscle his body catabolized for fuel during five weeks on a ventilator was the reserve he had unknowingly been building for decades. Every hour in the gym was unknowingly preparing him for this moment. This episode is one of the most powerful conversations we've had on this show. In this raw and deeply personal conversation, Jared and Frank cover: * Clinical nihilism: what it is, why nearly every clinician goes through it, and what comes out the other side * How a remote PT assessment over Skype in 2016 changed the entire trajectory of Jared's career * Coping with going blind: a genetic condition will eventually rob Jared of his sight, and how that shaped his decision to go all in on a digital practice * The near death experience: organ failure, life support, dialysis, and the moment his doctors told his family there was nothing more they could do * Why muscle mass quite literally saved his life and what that means for every clinician who has been neglecting their own strength * How grief, faith, and the book of Job carried him through the darkest weeks of his recovery * What it means to come back stronger and why stronger isn't always physical * His mission now: helping coaches and clinicians become the strong, healthy humans they are asking their patients to become This one will stay with you. Share it with someone who needs it.

Breaking the Mold: How One OT Left the Therapy Mill to Build a Pelvic Health Practice — with Erica Bermudez

Erica Bermudez was seeing 90 pelvic health patients a week inside a therapy mill in Manhattan. She was acting as the clinical director with no clinical director above her, rushing women through some of the most intimate, emotional care imaginable... 10 minutes a session, even if they were crying. And when she hit that number, the company celebrated her on the team chat. She knew something was broken. So she left. Today she runs her own hybrid pelvic health practice in Bayonne, New Jersey, seeing men, women, and children in person and 100% virtually: blending pelvic therapy, nervous system coaching, and personal training under one roof in a model the old system told her wasn't possible. She built it from a $35-per-hour gym room rental, and she went fully all in just a few months ago. In this conversation, Erica and Frank cover: * How a denied fieldwork request in OT school and a LinkedIn job posting changed the entire trajectory of her career and what OT students can do right now if their school isn't keeping up * What it actually looks like to build a cash-based practice while working a day job, the real timeline, the scrappy early days, and the moment she knew it was time to go all in * Why being celebrated for seeing 90 pelvic patients in a week is one of the most disturbing things happening inside the broken healthcare system right now * How OTs are uniquely trained to treat the whole person and why leaning into the mental health and nervous system side of care is not scope creep, it's the profession's greatest untapped edge * The rallying cry the OT profession needs to hear: stop trying to fit the mold your professors built for you and start building something the world actually needs This one is for the OTs.

The Story That Changed Laws in 150 Countries — with Adam Leipzig

Adam Leipzig was a senior executive at Walt Disney Studios when Disney was still scrappy. He helped build it into a cultural powerhouse. He went on to become President of National Geographic Films. Across four decades, he has produced over 40 acclaimed films (the likes of Dead Poets Society, March of the Penguins, A Plastic Ocean) that have collectively earned over $2 billion worldwide and picked up Oscars, BAFTAs, Emmys, and Golden Globes along the way. But the reason he's here is one film. A Plastic Ocean has been directly credited with changing environmental laws in over 150 countries. Plastic bag bans. Straw regulations. Manufacturer end-of-life requirements. If you live somewhere those laws exist, there's a real chance this film is part of the reason why. Not a policy paper. Not a lobbying campaign. A story. That's what Adam does. He figures out how to make people care... and then move. In this conversation, Adam and Frank dig into what clinicians and healthcare entrepreneurs can steal from decades at the highest levels of film, theater, and media. If you've ever struggled to articulate what you do, why it matters, or how to get people to actually listen: this one is for you. In this conversation, Adam and Frank cover: * How Adam went from Walt Disney Studios to National Geographic to producing films that changed global law and the throughline that connects all of it * The four-part narrative structure every clinician needs to master: hook, challenge, solution, call to action and why most people skip the part that actually makes people move * Why culture is discovered, not given and what that means for anyone trying to build something new inside a broken healthcare system * The 10 laws of culturenomics and how to use them to build something patients actually stay loyal to * Why your story is your greatest clinical asset and the one daily practice Adam recommends to sharpen it His new book, Fearless Persistence, drops April 21, 2026.

He Made A Crazy Bet in 2015. A Decade Later, the Future He Predicted Is Here. (And What He's Predicting Next) — with Matt Reynolds

In 2015, Matt Reynolds shut down his brick and mortar gym and went all in on a fully digital coaching platform. Everyone thought he was crazy. A decade later he runs one of the largest online coaching businesses in the world, a software platform used by hundreds of coaches, and a team with a monthly churn rate under 3% in an industry where 20% is the norm. He saw where the world was going and moved before the proof existed. In this dense and wide-ranging conversation, Matt breaks down what he built and how AI is about to separate the clinicians who thrive from the ones who get left behind. Matt and Frank take a hard pivot from tech and dig into what it looks like to run a business without hiding who you are or beating people over the head with your personal beliefs. In this conversation, Matt and Frank cover: * How Matt went from brick and mortar to fully digital in 2015 and the mindset that made him go for 30 coaches on day one instead of testing the waters slowly * Why the hybrid model is where most healthcare providers are headed and how to start building it without blowing up what you've already built * The real reason clinicians feel guilty about optimizing their workflow and why that guilt is costing them and their patients * Why you won't be replaced by AI, but you might be replaced by a clinician using AI. And what to do about it right now (hint: it’s not about templated workouts) * The distinction that changes everything about how you build your spiritual journey into the way you show up publicly as a business owner while being welcoming to all beliefs.
