In this episode of The Founders’ Journey, we sit down with Michelle Collie, Founder and CEO of Highbar Physical Therapy, to explore a story where the journey is just as personal as the objective. From a life-changing ACL injury on a basketball court in rural New Zealand to building and scaling a leading physical therapy platform alongside Rallyday, Michelle shares hard-earned lessons on leadership, purpose, and value creation. Together, we unpack how to “pull” a private equity partner, why putting teammates first leads to better outcomes, and how aggressively humble leadership can elevate an entire organization and an industry. This is a candid, inspiring conversation about growth, resilience, and building something that truly matters.

Michelle Collie is not an investor in one or more of Rallyday Partners private funds and did not receive any cash or non-cash compensation for participating in this podcast.
