Will Humphreys (speaker) summarizes Brandon Siegel’s TherapyCon talk (Phoenix) arguing that burnout is driven by mindset, not merely workload. Siegel frames businesses/lives as input→output formulas: when reimbursement drops and output falls, practitioners increase inputs (effort/hours), which exacerbates burnout; the solution is to pivot and rethink the model rather than simply adding more input.

The mindset over skill set. And the reason I say that is because I just heard Brandon Siegel, a common friend of ours, talk at TherapyCon, which was last week here in Phoenix, and his whole talk was like, we have to start thinking differently. It's funny that you mentioned that as the idea, because his whole presentation was, let's look at the model. He said, think of your business or think of your life in terms of a formula of, like, inputs and outputs. And he goes in the physical therapy industry and he was talking about pto, tslp. He's like, and I'd say this is true for all healthcare is that when we put the same kind of effort in and reimbursement declines and our output goes down, so we keep doing more of the input to solve for that. He's like, it's not hard to see what's going to happen to people and what's going to happen to burnout and all those elements. So his whole concept was we have to start thinking differently, to pivot and change it.
