  • Solid info

    Very unique, there aren’t a lot of podcasts specific to leading and managing an outpatient clinic. Unique guests and interviews. He sometimes does more of the talking than the interviewee though but that’s just a small gripe, it’s great overall.

  • As a marketer helping build a physical therapy practice from the ground up, Paul Gough is invaluable. If you are in business in any way though, Paul's method's and mantra are sure to take you to new heights.

    As he often says, the things he teaches will help you in business, work, and life.

    Paul’s podcast is a great study. The amount of content helpful to the private practitioner is amazing. Plus, put it on repeat because each time you pick up another tip you didn’t digest the first time. Thank you Paul!

  • Great content

    I started listening to Paul’s podcast around 1-2 yrs ago. He immediately changed my mentality on “selling” myself and my rehabilitation and wellness services. The techniques that he offers are practical and real world, he offers long-term strategies to get people through the door, and to buy into long term PT.

    Paul, thank you and your team for all that you do for us. I will be visiting you soon at a live event!

  • Great information!

    I started listening to Paul Gough’s podcast about a year ago after I bought his Accelerator book. I love the content he gives and how he presents it. There are many podcasts that are interview style, Paul’s is different. I like that he lets us get an inside peak into his staff trainings and his events. The content is relevant and important. We get to hear how he trains his staff to run his clinics, so we get to hear how it’s working for them and know that what he teaches us is already working. T... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 804 ☕️ "My Wife's Divorce Lawyer Is Killing My PT Business" [Coffee With Goughy]
Q: What should Marcus Reynolds do about the divorce valuation of his clinic?
Protect cash and assets, push back on inflated valuations, and consider a prenup; avoid letting a paper value dictate the settlement; if necessary, be prepared to walk away from the business and pursue a cash-and-assets split that allows rebuilding later.
EP 799 ☕️ "Two Of My Staff PTs Love WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham, 7 Think She Is A Horrid Individual... How Do I Manage The Tension That Is Building In My Clinic About Her Transgender Stance?" [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: Two of my staff love Sophie Cunningham, while seven think she is a horrible human being. How should I address this in the clinic without letting it derail patient care?
Acknowledge the staff's opinions but remind them that patients don't care about staff disagreements; focus on delivering consistent care. Encourage respectful discussion, model disagreement without judgment, and redirect energy toward treating patients and maintaining clinic performance.
EP 800 ☕️ “My Staff PT HATE Elon Musk… I Secretly Want A Tesla. Do I Buy One?” [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: My staff PT's hate Elon Musk. I secretly want a Tesla. Should I buy one and risk upsetting my staff?
Yes—buying a Tesla could be used as a catalyst to spark conversation and demonstrate commitment to the team's future, but the bigger point is to align incentives and profitability so you can compete for top PTs, regardless of staff opinions about Elon. The host emphasizes focusing on profitability and culture rather than letting staff politics govern leadership choices.
EP 802 ☕️ "I've Been Searching For A PT For 18 Months! Why Won't They Come And Work For ME?" (PLUS, Big Announcement Out Of Orlando) [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: Gabby asks whether the problem is her hiring approach or something else when she's been unable to hire a PT for 18 months.
Paul reframes the issue, arguing the problem is not the job ads but the clinic's lack of profitability and a business model that can sustain a $150k+ salary; without sufficient margins and a reliable follow-up system, hiring will remain impossible regardless of ad tweaks.
EP784☕"Stop Predicting, Start Living — Real Talk On Progress, Cheerleaders, And The Decisions You Keep Dodging"
Q: Who needs to make a decision while we're here?
Audience members are encouraged to identify decision dodgers and commit to taking action, with prompts and accountability (e.g., t-shirt incentive to decide).
