In this new episode of The Clinic Boss Show, Rick & Manju sit down with Brennan Chan to discuss his journey from being a physio to starting his own practice.

Brennan is a physiotherapist and owner of Cadence Physiotherapy & Rehab. He took the risk in starting his practice in 2023 and now runs a fully booked practice with a 5 star rating and over 70 Google reviews.

Manju, the owner of Kawartha Care Wellness Centre, is a chiropractor who built her clinic from scratch, turned it into a multi-million-dollar practice with a team of 17, and sold it all in 8 years. Now she is one of Clinic Accelerator’s coaches working directly with solopreneurs and startups.
