    Introducing SimpleIntake (and why we built it)

    Meet Your New AI Receptionist (No Benefits Required) 🤖 After 7 years of saying "sorry, we don't do live answering," we are announcing SimpleIntake, our AI-powered solution that finally answers your phones 24/7. The backstory: Every since Productive Therapist began in 2018, practice owners have been asking if we can live answer their phones. It was never possible, until now. Enter SimpleIntake: The AI receptionist that never sleeps, never takes lunch breaks, and definitely never calls in sick with "food poisoning" after a long weekend. Here's what it actually does: Answers calls 24/7 with full knowledge of your practiceKnows your fees, insurance, specialties, and policiesBooks consultation calls directly with your human intake coordinatorIncludes an AI chatbot for your website (that people actually want to use!)Comes with a full HIPAA-compliant CRM if you want the whole enchilada Most importantly: This isn't replacing your intake team, it's making their lives better and their jobs easier. The AI handles the "Do you take Blue Cross?" questions at midnight. Your human coordinator handles the heart-to-heart connection work during business hours. The numbers: $97/month + 19¢ per minute vs. $2-4 per minute for call centers. Yup, the math checks out. Ready to never miss another call?

    How To Never Miss A Client

    People need your help. Every day they're calling, texting, searching... and landing in voicemail purgatory. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Picture this: Sarah calls at 11 PM after a panic attack. Your AI receptionist answers immediately, gets her info, and schedules her with your intake coordinator first thing tomorrow morning. How It Works: AI receptionist answers 24/7Human intake coordinator connects and schedulesYour practice is there when people need you most The AI knows EVERYTHING about your practice—fees, insurances, modalities, policies. It answers their questions AND seamlessly hands them off to your caring human team. They called 10 practices. Yours was the only one that answered. That's a win-win. ✨ Listen to a few demo calls: productivetherapist.com/info

    From Google Sheets Chaos to CRM Clarity

    📊 If you've ever lost a potential client in a Google Sheet maze, this one's for you. In this episode, I'm chatting with Brent Stutzman from TheraSaaS—a guy who watched his wife's therapy practice drown in spreadsheets and said, "Nope, there's gotta be a better way." Spoiler alert: there was. We're talking about the moment when 80 people on a waitlist and color-coded chaos became a streamlined, lead-converting machine. But this isn't just another "buy our software" pitch. It's a real conversation about the mistakes that are costing you $4-6K monthly (yep, that's what falling through the cracks looks like), why 85-90% of your leads are closing via text (not email, friends), and how your intake coordinator could save an hour daily with the right system. Plus, we dive into why transparency matters, how to stop playing hide-and-seek with your leads, and why flying blind on your conversion data is like driving with a blindfold on. 🚗💥 If you're tired of wondering "Did they ever call that lead back?" or watching your intake team drown in manual tasks—this episode's your wake-up call and solution, rolled into one. ▶️ Hit play and let's turn that spreadsheet chaos into CRM clarity.

    Marketing Smarter with AI ft. Greg Goodman

    🤖 If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT and thought, “Wait... is this cheating?”—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Greg Goodman—founder of Goodman Creatives, marketing wizard, and one of the first folks in the therapy space to say, “Yep, AI’s here, and it’s actually kinda amazing.” But this convo? It’s not a “rah-rah robots are taking over” fest. It’s a grounded, nuanced, actually kind of inspiring exploration of how AI (specifically large language models like ChatGPT) is changing the way therapists show up in the online world—ethically, intentionally, and maybe even… joyfully? 😄💻 We also talk transparency, consent, HIPAA (yep, that again), and how your philosophical stance on AI might shift once you realize it can give you your Saturday back.  So if you’re a therapist who wants to market ethically and efficiently, or you’re still feeling a little icky about handing over your writing to a robot—this episode’s your warm hug and reality check, all in one. Grab your favorite beverage and get comfy. Let’s decode the ethics, artistry, and opportunities of AI—together. ▶️ Hit play and let’s dive in.

    The Power of Slow Growth ft. Melvin Varghese

    Have you ever felt allergic to networking events?  Allergic to being “the brand,” or just plain overwhelmed by the loud, shiny world of online business… you’re gonna want to hear this one. 👀✨ Because in this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Melvin Varghese—psychologist, podcaster, and the original Quiet Builder. Now, Melvin didn’t take a single business or marketing class. No MBA. No corporate blueprint. Just a deep love for meaningful work, a steady commitment to service, and a whole lotta curiosity. And yet—he built one of the most respected platforms in the therapist world. (Hi, Selling the Couch fam 👋) So, how did he do it? Spoiler: no dance reels required. 💃🚫 Instead, Melvin shares the story of how growing up between two cultures—India and the U.S.—shaped his perspective on legacy, leadership, and building a business with roots and reach. He talks about the power of building around your energy (not your ego), why margin is the unsung hero of a sustainable business, and what it means to grow something that outlives you. From seeing a man handcraft combs on the side of the road in India, to reflecting on his great-grandfather’s selfless act of feeding an entire village during wartime, Melvin threads it all together in a way that’ll make you pause… and maybe even tear up a little. (I did. No shame.) This episode isn’t a pep talk—it’s a grounded conversation with someone who’s been through the hustle, hit pause, and chose to build something sustainable instead. Think of it as a gentle nudge to look inward, reassess what you really want, and maybe start planting something of your own. So whether you’re burned out from client work, exploring new offers, or just craving a business model that doesn’t drain your soul... this one’s for you.
