Building a Clinic Worth Selling | Jack O’Brien

Jack O’Brien has experienced both sides of clinic ownership: building and growing his own clinics, and eventually selling them.

We also get into the realities of running an allied health business, building systems that reduce the reliance on the owner, and where technology and AI are starting to fit into modern healthcare. A great conversation for clinicians, clinic owners, or anyone interested in what actually happens behind the treatment room door.

Things We Ponder | Finley Orphin & Jason Murdoch | the PT industry, training, programming

A little less formal than usual for this one.. I sat down with good mates Fin Orphin and Jason Murdoch to talk all things training, programming and the reality of building a career in personal training, from coaching on the gym floor to taking things online. Plenty of training chat, plenty of opinions, a few things we probably overthought, and the kind of conversations we’d normally be having anyway… we just happened to put microphones in front of us this time. If you’re a PT, coach, love training, or just enjoy hearing three mates unpack the fitness industry, this one’s for you.
