ATI Physical Therapy went private but what does it really mean?

Dave Kittle, Tony Maritato, and Jimmy McKay break down the collapse and privatization of ATI Physical Therapy and reimagine what they would do if they owned it. From debt-fueled SPAC deals to turning patient data into a business asset, the trio takes a sharp, sometimes funny, and often brutally honest look at the PT industry.
