Taking The Leap and Starting Your Own Cash-Based Practice with Dr. Ryan Smith

Nick and Eric had the amazing opportunity this past week to sit down and chat with Dr. Ryan Smith, PT, DPT, ATC. Who is Dr. Ryan Smith? Well first off, he's an incredibly nice and down-to-earth guy. He also is one of the few people we know who started his own practice (uMove Physiotherapy and Performance) right out of graduating from physical therapy school. We were incredibly grateful for his time and the knowledge he shared with us during this interview. Today’s podcast content includes: -Taking the leap into cash based practice- the experiences behind the decision -The value of mentorship and proactive networking to get the most out of everything -What is missing from PT school education and how to go about getting it -Ryan’s management and motivation to overcome challenges as a new grad and business owner -What’s the future for a new start-up private PT practice in Columbus, Ohio -Advice for the current PT student on how to develop a professional career now -Ryan’s perspective on what makes a great new hire in the PT field
