From An 8x8 Room To A Thriving Clinic: How Jeffrey Smith Built A Multi-PT Practice In Under 2 Years

Most practice owners dream about freedom, growth, and leading a thriving team—but few are willing to suffer through the grind it takes to get there. Jeffrey Smith is one of those rare owners who bet big on himself… and won.

In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, Adam Robin sits down with Jeff Smith, owner and CEO of Alpenglow Physical Therapy in Billings, Montana. Jeff launched his practice in June 2023, joined PPO Club Coaching just a few months later, and in less than two years has scaled from an 8x8 room in the back of a gym to a 3,200 sq. ft. clinic with five PTs.

They dig into:

• Why Jeff knew—even in PT school—that he was destined to be a practice owner
• The sacrifices and sleepless nights it took to go from solo hustler to CEO
• The hard decisions (and risks) that became breakthroughs
• How to lead employees without micromanaging or being “the answer guy”
• Why betting on yourself is always the safest bet

If you’ve ever wondered whether you have what it takes to step out, take the leap, and build something bigger than yourself—Jeff’s story is proof that you can.

🎙️ Learn how one owner turned vision into reality, and why the best investment you’ll ever make is in yourself.
