  • 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 817 ☕️ "Should Staff PT's Be Forced To Wear Your Clinic Uniform?" [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: Should all workers be equally allowed to work from home if they want?
The host argues against blanket work-from-home policies for front-line roles, suggesting that some jobs require office presence to maintain culture, customer interaction, and accountability, while acknowledging broader political and economic pressures around remote work.
EP 817 ☕️ "Should Staff PT's Be Forced To Wear Your Clinic Uniform?" [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: Has a member of your staff ever refused or wanted to refuse to wear your clinic uniform because they believed it surrendered their identity?
Yes, the episode discusses multiple real-world examples (Starbucks dress code and similar debates) to illustrate the tension between brand consistency and individual expression, arguing that prioritize business identity and customer experience over personal preference. The host encourages adherence to uniforms as part of a professional environment and suggests that staff who disagree should seek other opportunities.
EP 816 ☕️ "6 Successful PT Clinic Owners Tell The Truth About Building A Private Practice In 2026" [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: What role does profitability play in long-term planning?
Profitability, not just revenue, determines sustainability; clinics aim for margins around 20-25% and plan investments (staff, equipment, marketing) accordingly to avoid cash crunches.
EP 816 ☕️ "6 Successful PT Clinic Owners Tell The Truth About Building A Private Practice In 2026" [Coffee with Goughy]
Q: What has changed in the hiring landscape for PT clinics over the years?
Clinics are shifting from relying on traditional referrals to building a direct-to-consumer marketing approach, and they're investing in teams and roles beyond PTs to deliver high-level service.
EP 815 ☕️ "Is The PT Profession In Crisis? Your Questions Answered!" [PPM LIVE Press Conference in Orlando]
Q: Is the traditional insurance-based PT clinic actually dying, or is this just marketing for PPM Live?
There are two forces at play: signs that traditional insurance-based clinics face profitability challenges, and a broader push by entrepreneurs adopting cash-pay and hybrid models. The point is not doom but a call to adopt higher-margin practices, including smarter pricing, marketing, and wellness services, to remain viable.
