The Courage of Little Leaps: An Interview with Kyle Hartman

What if growing your business didn’t require one big leap…

…but a series of small, courageous ones?

Because that’s how most successful practices are actually built.

In this episode, Jesse sits down with Rising CEO coach and practice owner Kyle Hartman to talk about what it really looks like to grow—from a brand new pelvic PT during COVID… to running a 4-clinician practice.

And the story isn’t what you think.

There was no master plan. Just a willingness to take the next step.

We get into:

Why confidence doesn’t come before action (it comes from it)
How “low-risk” decisions can still lead to big outcomes
The power of starting small—and staying consistent
How to grow a practice without losing focus or chasing every opportunity
What it actually takes to lead a team (and have hard conversations well)
Why grit and courage matter more than experience early on

We also dive into how Kyle has intentionally expanded her practice:

A quarterly labor prep seminar that serves the community and drives leads
Her work in sex coaching and counseling, helping patients move beyond pain into pleasure
Consulting with professional athletes on return-to-sport postpartum care

If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready”…

This episode is your reminder:

You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need the courage to take the next step.
