After Menie and I corresponded through email a few times about her private practice I had to get her on the podcast when I learned she was in Dubai. If you have a sense of adventure, Menie shares with us how to find a therapy job in Dubai.

She is liaison to the Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversight and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

A group of OT students at Huntington University in Fort Wayne, IN contacted me to ask for an interview for a class project they were working on. I really enjoy talking to therapy students and was glad to help out.

The group of students wanted to ask me about my entrepreneurial ventures. I love talking shop and I really enjoyed talking to this great group of students. The future is going to be very bright if there are more like these students in the pipeline.

Nate Kloosterman was the second therapist to buy my ebook How to Start and Run a Therapy Practice. I was flattered when he contacted me in the early stages of starting his therapy practice to bounce some ideas off of me.

Have a listen and see how Nate has created a brick and mortar PT practice that is holistic in its approach and personal in its service. I really like what he is doing.

Nate is offering a health coaching system as part of his wellness program at his clinic and he is willing to help other therapists implement a turnkey Health Coaching program similar to his. Just email him at  physiopointtherapy@gmail.com.

Nate is a family man with great faith and is just an all-around great guy.
