  • Zach Olson - Hard working and grateful Pre-PT

    We all want to get to a point in life where we can enjoy a cup of coffee and go to work at a job that is enjoyable. Zach Olson will be my new Co-Host for the Podcast because he has a lens of the profession that is different from my new graduate lens so we will be able to explore topics that are either not talked about, too difficult to talk about, or is fun to talk about.
