Ep615 | Wine Sales vs Cash-Based Practices
In this episode, Doc Danny shares a conversation he had with a friend who owns a wine distribution company. They discussed the physical therapy profession and the challenges that come with it, specifically the low compensation compared to other professions. The average physical therapist makes around $80-90,000 but has an average debt of $150,000. Danny explains that starting a cash-based practice is a proven solution to increase earning potential while still being an active clinician. This allows physical therapists to charge more for their services and ultimately make more money. He believes it is an elegant solution that allows individuals to marry their passion for the profession with financial stability.

Ep612 | Should You Rent or Buy An Office?
In this episode, Doc Danny answers the frequently asked question of whether to rent or buy a standalone space for a physical therapy practice. He suggests that renting is less risky and provides more flexibility, especially if there is no established business history or good personal credit.

Danny advises considering the area and tenant mix before making the decision to buy a building. He concludes by highlighting the importance of thinking about the long term and making a thoughtful decision.

Ep610 | I Spent 139K On Mentorship, Here's What I Learned
Doc Danny encourages viewers to watch the accompanying video on the PT Biz YouTube channel and take notes to get the most out of the training. The training covers various stages and elements of business, and he hopes that even if only some of it is applicable to the viewer's current stage, they will find it useful. With his experience and expertise, Doc Danny provides insightful and practical advice on how to take your business to the next level. "I spent $139,000 working with some of the smartest people on the planet and in this video, I'm going to break down exactly what I learned. This is easily the longest and most valuable video I've put out that isn't in our PT Biz coaching programs. 10 years ago, I didn't even have $1000 to spend on business education and mentorship. If you're in the same place as I was 10 years ago, I hope this gives you an unfair advantage.....if you're willing to implement what I share with you in this video."
