  • Embrace Your Academic Struggle with Kyle Rice

    Failures are considered negative in every part of our lives. It's also the hardest thing to embrace, but did you know that embracing them is what will push you towards success? How often do you see failure as an opportunity to learn something new? 

    Welcome to the Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S. Podcast! I'm your host, Kim Nartker, PTA. In this week's episode, I am joined by Kyle Rice. Kyle is the founder and CEO of the PT Hustle. His company is designed in a holistic approach for physical therapy students who struggle taking standardized tests. His goal is to remove the mental obstacles that are keeping the students from passing the NPTE exam so that they can finally achieve their dream and earn their Physical Therapy license. 

    They will touch on such topics as:

    • How his struggle becomes his hope, and transforming his pain into a purpose.
    • The true purpose of life is to learn and grow by overcoming fears.
    • Getting over the dreaded feeling of being an imposter is essential in order to achieve success.
    • FEAR - False emotions appearing real
    • The test you take isn’t going to determine who you are; it’s not going to make you feel smarter or dumber; it won’t tell you how tall you are; and it won’t tell you how much money you make.
    • How to propel yourself up into your career without falling into the 9-5 trap.
    • Entrepreneurship VS. Intrapreneurship

  • The Blueprint for A New Practice Owner with Robbie Woelkers

    Are you a fresh graduate looking for a blueprint to start your own practice? What are the struggles of new business owners and owners that are failing in their business?

    Welcome to the Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S. Podcast! I'm your host, Kim Nartker, PTA. In this week's episode, I am joined again by Robbie Woelkers. Dr. Robbie Woelkers was frustrated as a practice owner with the lack of resources to successfully grow and scale an insurance-based physical therapy practice. Therefore, he has taken all of his marketing and operational systems and packaged them into an incredible program. He has now helped hundreds of insurance-based practice owners grow their businesses over the past 6 years. He now focuses on helping fellow practice owners who are winning... win bigger by leveraging his S.C.A.L.E. Growth Method.

    They will touch on such topics as:

    • Learn everything you need to learn to become the person you want to become and do what you want to do
    • Patients have no clue what you are supposed to be doing. The only person that knows is you. Just show up and shine.
    • If you make a mistake, simply improve your performance in the next session.
    • Just know that the clients need help. If you can help them, figure out what their problem is and give them the program that works for them
    • Create an environment that people will feel like coming back to.
    • Once you lose trust in your team members, whatever decision you make going forward is lost
    • Most owners are looking for other people who can solve their problems, which causes whiplash with their staff
    • You have to know from a business standpoint as an owner and a clinician that you have to be the one to take the risks as a business owner
    • The first power move as a business owner is to hire a business manager
    • The moral obligation as a clinician is to help as many people as possible
    • If you have to partner with somebody, you have to partner with someone who is your strength or your weakness

  • The Bottomline to Your Success as a New Private Practitioner with Jerry Durham

    Do you have any ideas on how to have the ability to manage a client-customer relationship and understand the value of what they will receive through marketing? Are you at a point where you and your team want to grow your field of business?

    Welcome to the Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S. Podcast! I'm your host, Kim Nartker, PTA. In this week's episode, I am joined by Jerry Durham. Jerry Durham believes that there is true magic in the relationship you build with your Client/Patient. The simple path to business success is learning how to engage the new Healthcare Consumer! Inspiring and empowering your employees to create memorable Patient Experiences through a complete understanding of YOUR individual patient lifecycle and precisely how to move your patient through it is the key to your ultimate business success! Jerry will share his methods on how he helps new practice owners quickly launch a thriving business in their area. This is a very actionable session where he will talk about his strategies and processes that have worked for years.

    We will touch on such topics as:

    • The only time it is about money is in the absence of value. In the lack of value, people will devote themselves to cash.
    • The most significant impact is what you do with your potential patient-client customers before they arrive at your business.
    • Clients want an expert who will tell them their problems and give them a plan for their journey back to the solution they desire.
    • If you get into the first call and make that part of the value, price becomes less of an issue.
    • You can refine your clinical skills and gain more confidence in the clinic, but don't try to grow with it simultaneously.
    • How to manage one client through their life cycle within their business so they can replicate it thousands of times over across hundreds of employees
    • It only takes one successful customer-client patient to grow your business.
    • Everybody on your team impacts the client-patient outcome.
    • You must understand who you are serving and who your actual customer is,
    • Understand where you will build the process to create the system and hire the best people for each role.

  • Building a 6-Figure Practice by Incorporating Wellness Program with Alison McLean

    As the healthcare landscape evolves, smart PT practice owners will evolve, too, ahead of the curve. As part of their evolution, some PTs are incorporating wellness services into their business models. “Wellness” is a buzzword in physical therapy circles right now. But what does the term actually mean? And how can you use wellness services to better help your clients and ensure your clinics thrive?

    Welcome to Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S. Podcast! I’m your host, Kim Nartker PTA. In this episode, I will be joined by Alison McLean, the Founder of Ignite Ur Wellness. Alison specializes in helping entrepreneurs to grow their businesses while caring for their health and enjoying life in the process. The diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome and Rectal Cancer awakened her to the sustainability of her hustle and grind lifestyle.

Now she helps others manage their time, and boost their energy with tactics and mindset to create success in their business and with their health. Alison will share how she turned her practice into a 6-figure business by incorporating yoga and massage into her programs, and graciously teach you how you can turn your PT practice into a successful wellness and healing business. Stay tuned for more!

    We will touch on such topics as:

    • How yoga healed her physically, emotionally, and mentally after she got injured.
    • The value of combining traditional physical therapy with yoga and massage.
    • Why PTs must focus on helping their patients calm their nervous systems and keep them healthy.
    • Listening to your potential client’s stories so you can offer them a program that will meet their need.
    • PT Sales 101: Charging clients per package instead of per visit.
    • A core marketing tactic that will help every new PT practice owner succeed in the long term.
    • Costs associated with relevant training a PT practice owner can take to learn how they can incorporate yoga into their practice.
