Episode 18: In this episode of the S2N Podcast, Richard sits down with Dr. Henry “Rocky” Cisneros, Director of Talent Acquisition at PRO-PT, to unpack Rocky’s decade-long journey with the company and the mindset behind building teams that are truly second to none.

Rocky shares how his career evolved from treating therapist, to clinic director, to leading talent acquisition — all while staying grounded in patient care and relationships. He reflects on the importance of values-based leadership, long-term vision over short-term fixes, and why great recruitment is less about filling positions and more about aligning purpose, culture, and growth.

Throughout the conversation, Rocky and Richard explore what defines a “PRO-PT person,” the difference between burnout and boredom, and why service-driven healthcare professionals must think beyond a job and toward a career. Rocky also offers candid insight into decision-making, personal growth, and the responsibility leaders have to invest in people — not just systems.

The episode closes with a powerful reminder: you only get one shot — aim big, commit fully, and surround yourself with people and a culture that challenge you to be your best.

This conversation is a must-listen for physical therapists, leaders, and anyone thinking about what it really means to grow, lead, and elevate together.
