    The CEO Shift: Building a Profitable and Sustainable Practice with Dr. Adam Robin

    What happens when you stop relying on hustle, emotion, and instinct to run your private practice and start leading with clarity, data, and the identity of a true CEO? That shift is what helped physical therapist, clinic owner, and entrepreneur Dr. Adam Robin transform his practice from stressed and unstable into a financially grounded, profitable, and scalable business. After realizing that hard work alone wasn’t enough to grow, Adam dug into the deeper mindset and financial foundations that private practice owners are rarely taught. Now, he teaches clinicians how to step into confident leadership, build businesses that support their lives, and make profitability intentional rather than accidental. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Adam to break down the personal transformation behind business growth, from untangling old stories around money and boundaries to understanding KPIs, break-even metrics, and the systems that keep a practice running smoothly. Adam shares the realizations that changed everything for him, the financial truths practice owners need to embrace, and the leadership skills that create long-term stability and sustainability. In this episode, we talk about: Why private practice is really a personal transformation journey in disguiseHow adopting a finance-first mentality protects your energy, time, and profitabilityThe role of systems, KPIs, and break-even numbers in building a sustainable businessWhy emotional decision-making keeps practices stuck, and how to shift out of itWhat stepping into the CEO role actually looks like for cliniciansHow virtual assistants can help owners reclaim time and scale with easeIf you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed by money decisions, or unsure how to grow without burning out, this episode will give you the perspective and clarity you’ve been missing, and remind you that your practice can only grow as far as you do.

    From Startup to Growth: Private Practice Tips with Jill Shook

    What happens when you stop winging your private practice and start building it with intention, structure, and the mindset of a true medical professional? That single shift is what helped speech-language pathologist and private practice owner Jill Shook move from flailing through decisions to running a grounded, sustainable, and well-designed business. After years of figuring things out the hard way, Jill now teaches clinicians how to avoid the overwhelm she once experienced by getting clear on their vision, setting up systems that support growth, and stepping confidently into the role of CEO. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Jill to talk about what private practice owners really need to know when they’re getting started, why systems matter more than people think, and how learning the basics of insurance and compliance can save thousands of dollars and hours of stress. Jill shares the practical strategies she uses in her own practice, the business mistakes she hopes others will avoid, and the mindset shifts that help clinicians charge their worth and uphold boundaries with confidence. In this episode, we talk about: How Jill went from overwhelmed new owner to creating a clearer, more intentional private practiceWhy a simple business plan sets the stage for smoother decision-making and smarter growthThe systems and EMRs every clinician needs to protect revenue, save time, and improve client experienceWhat clinicians must understand about insurance, even if they plan to stay private payThe mindset shift from school-based clinician to medical professional and business ownerIf you’ve ever felt lost in the logistics, stressed about insurance, or unsure how to build a practice that supports both your clients and your life, this episode will show you exactly where to start and how to move forward with clarity.

    The Link Between Parent Involvement, Fewer Cancellations, Faster Progress, and Happier Staff with Stephanie Wagers

    What happens when you shift from “fix my child” to true collaboration with the adults who spend the most time with them? That single mindset shift is what helped occupational therapist and private practice owner Stephanie Wagers transform her clinic, reduce cancellations, and rebuild trust with families after years of feeling stuck. What began as a desire to understand why some parents stayed engaged and others drifted away turned into a research backed framework that boosted progress, increased consistency, and improved therapist satisfaction across her entire practice. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Stephanie to talk about what parent engagement really looks like, why most therapists misunderstand what parents need, and how simple changes in communication can reshape outcomes. Stephanie shares the systems she created, the scripts her team uses, and the language that helped bring caregivers back into the therapy room with confidence. In this episode, we talk about: How Stephanie identified the gap between therapist expectations and parent experienceWhy parent engagement is the key to fewer cancellations and stronger progressWhat it looks like to bring caregivers into sessions with clarity and consistencyHow shared language across a clinic reduces burnout and increases therapist satisfactionSimple strategies you can use immediately to strengthen family partnershipsIf you’ve ever felt frustrated by no shows, low carryover, or disengaged families, this conversation will remind you that meaningful progress begins with connection, and you can start strengthening that connection today.

    The Lie We Were Sold: Why So Many Speech Therapists Feel Trapped (and How to Break Free)

    When I became a speech therapist, I thought I was choosing a stable, respected, and well-paying career. I believed that if I worked hard, earned my degree, and gave my all to my clients, I’d be rewarded, both financially and emotionally.

From my first job to my private practice and beyond, I share how I went from feeling overworked and undervalued to finally finding freedom and purpose, without abandoning the career I love. In this episode, I talk about: The moment I realized I’d been “duped” by the speech therapy dreamHow private practice gave me more freedom, but still kept me boxed inThe mindset shift that changed everything about how I see my work and worthHow I started creating income that wasn’t tied to one-to-one therapy sessionsIf you’ve ever felt like you were made for more… more impact, more income, more freedom, this episode will show you that you’re not stuck.
