In this episode, Brian Gallagher highlights the rapid pace of change in business and technology—using AI, automation, and blockchain as analogies for how physical therapy practices must evolve or risk falling behind.

While AI may not directly run a PT clinic, the way owners manage their business is changing just as rapidly as AI is reshaping industries. The old-school model of handling everything in-house—billing, front desk, HR—is no longer sustainable.
