In this episode of the podcast, Jerry sits down with Biagio Mazza, a seasoned physical therapist, business owner, and sales expert. With over two decades of experience in the physical therapy industry, Biagio shares his journey from starting his private practice in 2005 to founding *The PT Gold Mine*, a continuing education company focused on helping PTs master the business side of their practice.

Jerry and Biagio dive deep into the parallels between physical therapy and sales, emphasizing how both professions are an art grounded in science. They explore the importance of systems, structure, and the entrepreneurial mindset in building a successful practice. Biagio also opens up about the challenges he faced, including scaling his practice, navigating the complexities of insurance contracts, and learning to ask the right questions.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Art and Science of Sales and PT: Both physical therapy and sales require a blend of technical knowledge and interpersonal skills. Success in either field depends on understanding the science behind the practice while mastering the art of communication and relationship-building.
   
2. The Power of Systems: Whether it’s running a podcast or a PT practice, having a structured system is crucial for consistency and growth. Biagio and Jerry discuss how investing in the right guidance and tools can lead to significant ROI.

3. Knowing Your Numbers: Understanding your financials and setting clear goals is essential for any business owner. Biagio stresses the importance of tracking key metrics to ensure profitability and sustainability.
