The Business of Allied Health - Episode 3: Ben Corso
Q: What was the biggest early challenge in building your own clinic?
Time management and balancing multiple sites in a single day; learning to optimize efficiencies, maintain focus, and plan growth with support from a business advisor.
The Business of Allied Health - Episode 3: Ben Corso
Q: Was that your original goal to own a clinic when you started physio?
Not initially; the goal emerged as I gained experience through student placements, practice ownership opportunities, and learning from other practices, shaping my own philosophy and goals over time.
The Business of Allied Health - Episode 13: Randall Cooper
Q: When did you decide to pursue entrepreneurship, and what catalyzed that leap?
Around the time I started a family and felt the need for greater financial security and impact, plus a mentor/investor's invitation helped formalize the shift from hobby to business.
The Business of Allied Health - Episode 13: Randall Cooper
Q: What early experiences opened doors to elite sports work for you?
Early exposure to skiing, networking with sports medicine professionals, and taking on multiple roles helped me build credibility and opportunities across private practice, public health, and elite teams.
The Business of Allied Health - Episode 10: Tim Dettmann
Q: What shaped Tim's view on the future of physiotherapy and Kieser's model?
Tim describes recognizing a gap between evidence and practice early on, and how applying an elite sports model—where physio is integrated next to gym and doctors—led him to advocate for a private practice that combines exercise with therapy to improve outcomes and career longevity for clinicians.
