Are you ready to take control of your finances and build a business that works for you? In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to have Mike Michalowicz, creator of Profit First, joining me on the podcast. We dive deep into the key misconceptions about Profit First, especially in the therapy space, and we explore how understanding profit differently can make a huge impact on your business and well-being.
Mike and I discuss how the Profit First system isn’t just about making money—it’s about creating sustainability and reducing financial stress in your business. Mike shares why profit is essential for therapists and other helpers, and how a lack of profit can actually hinder your ability to serve clients. We also talk about the power of setting up your business in a way that supports you emotionally, not just financially, and the changes he’s seen in the small business landscape over the years.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your finances or unsure about the right way to approach profitability, this episode is packed with practical advice and shifts in perspective that will help you move forward with clarity.
Tune in to hear how you can apply the Profit First principles in your own practice and start creating the financial foundation that allows you to thrive.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
