A short spoken monologue arguing that recruiting difficulties in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech are symptoms of deeper reimbursement and money-mindset problems rooted in professional education. The speaker proposes reframing money as a tool to advance purpose rather than a necessary evil; that shift would improve profitability, strengthen the ability to push back on insurers, and enable building sustainable, long-term teams similar to successful private-practice owners.

I think, you know, we look at recruiting as the problem, but it's really a symptom of the core problem, which is reimbursement. The core problem, I think most people understand this problem comes from a place of knowing how to fight it. I think the core, I think the core, core, core issue in our industry is how we relate to money as people in physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech. Because how we are taught to think about money in our education is the corest of those issues. But, but how do we, how do we solve that? So that's, that's the, that's like the most low hanging obvious fruit there. But it goes deeper into this thing of like, how can we go back and change how we even relate to money in the first place? Because at the end of the day, if we saw money as the tool that's needed to grow our purpose instead of this necessary evil that people tend to approach it as, then I think everything else would be easier to take a stand against insurance companies. It'd be easier to have our profitability, a position where we're building teams in a life changing, long term way, the way our friends do who are successful pre t practice owners. Right?
