Recorded live from CSM, this episode features Jake Irwin, PT, DPT — professor, athletics PT, private practice owner, and APTA delegate.

The conversation covers:

• Why seasoned PTs still attend CSM
• How to approach conferences strategically
• The real value of networking
• Using AI to navigate conference programming
• The uncomfortable truth about home exercise compliance

Jake delivers a strong parting shot:

When patients don’t get better because they didn’t follow their home program — that’s not their fault. That’s yours.

This episode challenges clinicians to choose growth over blame.
