  Dr. Joshua Schacter's Path Out of the Insurance System

  Sep 1, 202633 minS3

  Dr. Josh Schacter spent years as a high volume orthopedic surgeon, performing close to 1,000 surgeries annually and seeing 50 patients a day inside the insurance system. On this episode of Willpower, he joins Will Humphreys to talk about the internal and external transition that took him from burned out technician to integrative orthopedic physician running a cash pay practice built around deep patient connection. Dr. Schacter walks through the mindset shifts required to leave insurance behind, the limiting beliefs providers carry from medical training, and how a trip to Ecuador with the Ashuar people reshaped his relationship to stress and presence. He shares patient stories, including a man who avoided a hip replacement through regenerative therapy and a case of reversed Type 2 diabetes discovered during a knee visit, and explains why he believes over a million joint replacements can be prevented by 2042. Key takeaways: Dr. Schacter transitioned his practice to roughly 80% cash pay revenue within three months. He reduced his patient load from 50 per day to an average of 10, spending up to 90 minutes with new patients. Chronic pain has been linked to a 3 to 5 percent shorter lifespan, and 80 percent of patients report feeling rushed during medical visits. Dr. Schacter's integrative approach treats orthopedic issues alongside metabolic and psychological factors, including cases where diabetes was reversed through diet, nutraceuticals, and micro-dose GLP-1. His wife, Amber Schacter, serves as CEO of the practice and was the driving force behind the shift to a different care model. He references Steven Pressfield's The War of Art and its concept of "resistance" as a framework for understanding the internal beliefs that keep providers stuck in traditional systems. Dr. Schacter's long-term goal is to prevent over one million joint replacements by 2042 through earlier, deeper intervention. If you're a provider who feels stuck inside a system that wasn't built for deep care, this conversation is for you.

  Michael & Samantha on How Metro Physical Therapy Builds Leaders From New Grad to CEO

  Aug 25, 202623 minS3

  In this episode of the Will Power Podcast, recorded live at APTA CSM, Will Humphreys sits down with Michael Viscuso, CEO of Metro Physical Therapy, and Samantha DiRosa, Clinical Director at Metro, to talk about how intentional leadership development shapes culture, retention, and patient care in private practice. Michael and Samantha break down how Metro built a leadership pipeline that starts with new grads and continues through clinical directors and regional leaders. They cover Metro's NextGen and Ascend leadership programs, the books that shape their culture (including Start With Why and The Energy Bus), and how giving staff a real choice between clinical and leadership paths keeps people engaged instead of burned out. Key takeaways: Leadership is built through extra effort. Students and new grads who ask questions, attend outside events, and invest in relationships stand out early. Metro runs two named leadership programs, NextGen for emerging leaders and Ascend for staff moving toward clinical director roles, and both are led directly by the CEO and VP of Operations. Burnout often signals disconnection from purpose, not a lack of skill. Reconnecting to the reason someone got into the field restores motivation. Empowerment means setting clear expectations and trusting the process, not controlling the outcome. Metro has grown to 62 locations while keeping its CEO personally involved in leadership days and clinic visits. Practice owners who are overwhelmed should focus on finding the right people for the right seats, then genuinely empowering them to make decisions. If you're a PT student trying to figure out where to start, a clinician feeling burned out, or a practice owner who doesn't know how to build leadership into your business, this episode gives you a real roadmap.

  Footwear, Steps, and the Truth About Walking with Milica McDowell

  Aug 18, 202637 minS3

  Dr. Milica McDowell, Associate Vice President of Education at US Physical Therapy, joins the Will Power Podcast live from APTA CSM to break down the science behind walking, one of the most overlooked tools in physical therapy. Guest host Mitch Johnson sits down with McDowell to unpack her new book, "Walk," co-written with foot and gait specialist Dr. Courtney Conley, and backed by over 300 research studies. McDowell explains where the 10,000-steps myth actually came from (it was never based on science), what step count actually reduces mortality risk, and why walking belongs in the same category as sleep and breathing for the human body. She also covers footwear myths that are hurting patients, why most adults are wearing the wrong shoe size, and how simple "movement snacks" can shift a patient's mood, cognition, and recovery in minutes. Key takeaways: The 10,000-step benchmark came from a 1960s Japanese pedometer marketing campaign, not research. A baseline of 3,500 steps per day is linked to a 15% reduction in all-cause mortality compared to 2,500 steps. Five-minute "MicroWalks" improve mood and cognitive clarity, especially for patients recovering from surgery. Patients on GLP-1 medications are losing muscle along with fat, making weight-bearing activity like walking essential. McDowell's stack, switch, and swap framework gives patients a realistic way to add walking without finding extra time. Over 60% of adults wear the wrong shoe size, and foot length changes with weight, hormones, and age. Heavily cushioned, rigid footwear blunts the sensory feedback the foot sends to the brain, which affects balance and movement patterns. Babies are not born with bunions. Bunions develop over time as a footwear and stress-related adaptation. Relationship walks (partner walks, "Grandma Walks," and walks with teenage kids) show measurable benefits for communication and mood, especially outdoors. If you work with patients, coach athletes, or just want a simple way to move more without overhauling your schedule, this one is worth your full attention. Grab the book "Walk" by Dr. Milica McDowell and Dr. Courtney Conley, available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Rediscover-Natural-Health-Longevity-One-ebook/dp/B0FPC9X2FG Send us Fan Mail Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.
