Episode 30 of the Fresh PT Podcast welcomes Felicia Wenah, the only PT student to speak at SSPT Live 2018. She may be the most outgoing person in the profession, and that is only matched by her love to help others.

She talks to us about the power of storytelling and being genuine. We can find information anywhere, but we gravitate towards people we like, so it's important to be your authentic self with your patients or your audience. "We're not meant to appeal to everyone, but a certain audience." 

Felicia tells us how many times she changed her major before settling onto exercise science, and she shares some of her favorite practice settings. She gives financial advice if you're currently in or preparing to enter PT school. Her program director told her one thing new grads need when they start practicing, and Felicia tells us how to achieve that one thing. 

If you're a frequent listener of the podcast, you may have noticed some of our guests are early risers. Felicia may have them all beat! Felicia gives advice for strengthening your professional connections, and she tells us about her opportunities as a consultant for businesses. She dives deep into common mistakes practice owners make and how to better communicate and attract patients to your business. 

Thanks for helping us get to 30 episodes! Stay Fresh!
