In this special episode recorded live at Graham Sessions, Jimmy talks with clinic owner Mike Reing and Marymount University DPT Dean Skye Donovan about what’s broken in the profession — and what it’ll take to fix it.

You’ll hear:

• Why clinic owners are frustrated with declining reimbursement
• How to actually hire and retain new grads
• The divide (and opportunity) between academics and business
• What PT education needs to teach that it currently doesn’t
• Why optimism still matters — and how to find it

Whether you’re a student, academic, or clinic owner, this conversation hits on the real tension — and the real possibilities — in PT today.
