This week on PT Breakfast Club, we’re genuinely curious (and slightly caffeinated) about three big topics shaping the business and culture of rehab right now: 🔹 Jimmy drops a killer segment on how De Beers manufactured the diamond engagement ring tradition — and what PT clinic owners can steal from that strategy to make care packages irresistible. 🔹 Tony dives into the no-win territory of brand messaging in 2024 — what happens when even a simple Pride Month post from APTA sets off a firestorm, and why trying to "say the right thing" as an organization might be an impossible game. 🔹 Dave is testing a real-world clinic marketing play: he’s DM’ing former patients asking for spinal manipulation footage. Creepy or genius? Let’s unpack what’s working and what needs a tweak. Plus: spicy takes, awkward laughs, and as always — zero corporate buzzwords. 🎙️ Let’s make healthcare marketing less beige and more brave.

Why does marketing your therapy practice feel so gross sometimes? In this episode, we’re unpacking the ick behind marketing — especially for therapists. From the pressure to "sell yourself" to the vulnerability of showing up authentically, it's no wonder so many of us feel weird about it. I’ll share a satirical skit (hello, 90s infomercial energy 💥📞) and some honest reflections on why it’s so hard to put ourselves out there — and how we can do it in a way that actually feels good. Spoiler: you don’t need to be “special” to have something meaningful to offer. Whether you’re new to private practice or just trying to make peace with self-promotion, I hope this episode feels like a supportive nudge toward showing up as your full, human self.
