We are extremely proud to welcome a local Atlanta great in Danny Matta, owner of Athlete's Potential and the PT Entrepreneur Podcast. Danny was kind enough to welcome us into his home, and did we ever enjoy this in person interview.

He tells us his journey from patient in high school to PT in the military, traveling and teaching for Mobility WOD, and finally launching his practice. There are so many great lessons to take if you're a PT student, new grad, or have aspirations to open or enhance your practice. 

Danny is fully invested in his staff and committed to bettering himself as an owner. He has not one but two business coaches, and you'd be astounded to know how much he spends on business and personal development. He takes us through the systems in place to help his staff grow and how having an attitude of always getting better one week at a time leads to long term success. "You can't turn the oven up to 700 and bake a cake twice as fast." 

Danny turns the tables on us and asks what we want in a job, and he reveals the one simple question you need to ask a prospective employer. "You want to see 30 people a day, you're more of a waiter than a physical therapist. You're not utilizing your skills the way that they're designed." Danny shares our frustration of seeing therapists freshly out of school already disliking what they do. It's why Danny started the PT Entrepreneur podcast, to show PTs all the things they can do that wasn't taught in school.
