Ep675 | An Introvert's Guide To Local Marketing
In this podcast episode, Doc Danny shares strategies for introverted physical therapists to excel in local marketing and build a successful cash-based private practice. As an introvert herself, Danny understands the challenges and preferences of introverted individuals, who often thrive on deep connections rather than superficial networking. The key approach for introverts is to focus on building relationships with a select few individuals who align with their personality and views. These relationships can be with other health practitioners, coaches, athletes, or even gym owners who share similar interests. By connecting on a deeper level rather than just through treatment, introverted physical therapists can create a strong support network.

Ep674 | Why You Need Content Marketing In 2024
In this episode of the podcast, Doc Danny explores the significance of content marketing for physical therapy clinics and local service-based businesses. Drawing from his own experience in building Athletes Potential over the last ten years, he shares valuable lessons learned.

Ep673 | What To Do About Buyers Remorse
In this podcast episode, Doc Danny discusses the common experience of buyer's remorse that often occurs when people make new investments or commitments that involve money, especially when investing in themselves through things like mentorship programs or business courses. He provides the example of when he bought his first house at age 23 for $122,000, and how the night after moving in he couldn't sleep because he was overwhelmed with anxiety about the large debt commitment and worries that the housing market could crash, leaving them unable to sell the house or make payments. However, the house ended up being a good long-term investment and start for their family.

Ep672 | Do You Have A Job Or A Business
In this podcast episode, Danny explores the difference between having a job and owning a business as a physical therapist. He introduces the "hit by a bus test," which challenges listeners to consider whether their business would continue generating income if they were suddenly unable to work. If not, they may have a job rather than a true business. Danny highlights the pros of a job/lifestyle business, including the potential to make good money (potentially 50% more than a clinic job), low overhead, ease of operation, and flexibility to take time off. However, he notes that there is a low income ceiling and limited scalability or potential for sale.
