    How Jag Physical Therapy and Dan Built a 2,000 Person PT Company on One Question: What's Your Why?

    In this episode, Will sits down with Dan, Vice President of clinical services, live at APTA CSM to talk about the leadership philosophy that built something rare in private practice, a company where people actually want to stay, grow, and build a future. Dan shares how losing his father at 26 shaped everything about how he leads. How a second grade teacher taught him the power of memorization and names. Why he gives the book "I Love It Here" by Clint Pulver to every new clinic director. And how knowing the names of his employees' kids is not a nice extra. It is the whole strategy. This is an episode about what happens when you build around people instead of process. And what it looks like when retention is not a metric but a reflection of a culture where every person feels genuinely seen. Topics covered in this episode: Why knowing your team's why is the starting point for everythingHow JAG built programs like their 8 week new grad ramp by listening to what people actually neededThe LinkedIn stat that says 88% of people leave a job because they could not see a future there, and how Dan flips that script from day oneWhy Dan still treats patients after all these yearsWhat it really means to build a company where people want to take your jobIf you are a practice owner who is burned out or feeling like growth is just more weight on your shoulders, this one is for you.

    Building Values That Create Warriors with Jarom Woodbury

    Jarom Woodbury is a professional MMA fighter turned physical therapist, regional director at OSR Physical Therapy, and a father of three. In this episode he breaks down how he built a "Warrior Code," a set of seven family values lived out through weekly meetings, daily habits, and hard conversations. Will and Jarom unpack the Point Story Lesson behind real values. The point: a value is not a word on a wall, it is what you do daily. The story: Jarom's pro fight where he got caught in a chokehold, heard his "inner coward" tell him to tap out, and chose to fight back instead. The lesson: the only true failure is quitting, and every leader, parent, or business owner can build a system that turns belief into action. They cover the inverted U principle and managing arousal under pressure, why accountability means clarity not just pressure, how to run a weekly values meeting with kids or a team, and why admitting imperfection builds more trust than pretending to have none. Key Takeaways: Values are actions, not words. A value only counts if it shows up in daily habits. The Woodbury Warrior Code. Jarom's family lives by seven values: Integrity, Honesty, Honor, Compassion, Courage, Loyalty, and Respect.Repetition makes values stick. Jarom calls it paramount. You can't set a value once and expect people to internalize it. The inverted U principle. Performance rises with arousal up to a point, then declines. Too relaxed and you underperform, too keyed up and you make costly mistakes. Accountability means clarity, not just pressure. It's not only checking someone's numbers. It's making sure expectations are clear, realistic, and understood, then helping people hit them.The inner coward. Mid-fight, choked from behind, Jarom heard a voice telling him to tap out and that no one would blame him. He calls that voice the inner coward, the part of all of us that wants the easy way out.The only true failure is quitting. Quitting is the only outcome that closes the door for good.Lead by example or it doesn't count. Waking up early, doing the hard thing, showing up consistently is the real teaching.Admitting imperfection builds trust. What matters is owning it, apologizing, and showing them how to ask for forgiveness.Gratitude rewires your mindset. A short nightly gratitude journal, just two to five minutes, helps program the subconscious toward noticing and seeking more success.Send us Fan Mail Virtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.

    How AI Is Quietly Saving Rehab Practices From the Inside Out with Sarah Bootcheck

    In this episode of the Willpower Podcast, recorded live at the Growth Code Conference, Will sits down with Sarah Bootcheck, Account Manager and Speech Language Pathologist at Raintree, to talk about one of the most important shifts happening in rehab right now: artificial intelligence transforming the way therapy practices operate from the inside out. Sarah brings a rare perspective to this conversation. She is both a clinician who has worked in the trenches of pediatric speech therapy and a technology professional who now helps practice owners understand and leverage the tools that can change the trajectory of their business. That combination makes her one of the most credible voices in this space. Together, Will and Sarah break down exactly how Raintree, one of the most experienced EMR platforms in the therapy space, made a bold decision to evolve or risk becoming irrelevant. After hearing directly from their largest clients that change was non-negotiable, Raintree acquired Yumi, an AI company that had already developed one of the first AI scribes built specifically for physical therapists. That acquisition became the foundation for ten new products and enhancements rolled out across 2025. In this episode you will learn: ScribeIQ and AI documentation in rehabNoteIQ clinical insights and patient progress trackingSchedulerIQ and the future of front office automationAI versus AI in medical billing and RCMWhy therapists are the most underprotected professionals in healthcareHow virtual assistants and AI work together to protect revenueThe 29% effective revenue loss hitting every outpatient practiceSubscribe to the Willpower Podcast for weekly conversations with OT, PT, and SLP owners sharing what is working right now.
