“What makes a great team? It’s not just about skills—it’s about mindset, passion, and the drive to grow.” In this episode, I sit down with my team at Primal to share how we came together, what sets our clinic apart, and why our culture is built on trust, continuous learning, and pushing each other to be better. We talk about how each team member found their way to Primal, the shift from focusing on numbers to prioritizing patient care, and why mindset, continuing education, and being surrounded by the right people is so important. Tune in to learn what truly makes a next-level physical therapy team and why we do things differently at Primal.
