Most healthcare pros don’t realize it—but they’re already sitting on a mountain of untapped value. In this episode, Joe Lemon sits down with Daniel Walters, a physical therapist who’s worked across human and animal health, now leading educational initiatives at Summit Professional Education.
They dive deep into why so many clinicians are sitting on gold but feel stuck climbing someone else’s mountain.
Expect raw talk about burnout, cash-pay models, career pivots, and emotional fatigue in both human and veterinary medicine. You’ll also hear practical advice on transitioning out of the clinic, how to build a brand on LinkedIn, and why curiosity—not slick pitches—is your best sales skill.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, seeking more freedom, or just wondering what’s next—this one’s for you.
