In their inaugural episode, co-hosts Rich and Ronnie introduce the S2N Podcast, a project rooted in their shared mission at PRO-PT: to create and deliver experiences second to none. They open with humor (and a not-so-serious pitch for Altoids as a sponsor) before diving into why they’re starting a podcast at all.

They explain their purpose: after 24 years in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy, they have stories, insights, and candid opinions worth sharing—especially the ones people aren’t talking about. They commit to transparency over polish, emphasizing that this will be an unscripted, honest look at the profession and the industry.

Key topics previewed include:

Rising education costs vs. stagnant reimbursement rates

Professional growth after becoming a licensed PT

Work-life balance and upward mobility in healthcare

The disconnect between passion for the profession and financial stability

Bringing in guests with valuable insights from all levels of the profession

They also unpack the meaning behind “S2N” (Second to None)—a nod to PRO-PT’s mission statement. More than just a slogan, it reflects a collective commitment across the entire organization—from first patient contact to final billing—to provide unmatched experiences.

Finally, they invite listeners (starting with their moms) to subscribe, offer feedback, and suggest future topics. New episodes are expected every Wednesday morning.
