In this powerful rebrand launch of The SLP Business Podcast, we’re kicking off with a trailblazer in the field—Theresa Richard, medical SLP, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder of the Medical SLP Collective.
Host Ebony Green and Theresa dive deep into what it takes to build a sustainable and scalable business as an SLP. From bootstrapping her first mobile FEES company with no business background, to launching the award-winning Swallow Your Pride podcast, and now pursuing her PhD and developing the first accredited medical SLP certification, Theresa is changing the trajectory of our profession.
This episode explores:
- Why identifying and filling a need is the key to successful entrepreneurship
- The myth of “doing it all” and the power of hiring support
- Building a company while raising a family and earning a doctorate
- How to face fear, uncertainty, and unexpected obstacles—and win
- Her exciting new venture: a state-of-the-art teaching clinic that sets a new standard in adult SLP care
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to start your business as an SLP, this episode is your permission slip to go build the thing.
