40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters Most
Because there are so many therapist podcasts out there, I was hesitant to throw my hat into the podcasting ring so late in the game. Until I realized what a great vehicle it is to share information, something I have been committed to doing in the therapy community for the last 20 years. Sixteen years ago, when hard copies and hand held papers were the norm, I was the business columnist for Merion Publications, who published the OT Advance. 76 columns and 10 years later, the Taking Care of Business column ran its course, a victim of the demise of print media. I firmly believe most of the messages, content and material remain foundational and timeless. And that after 40 years in the field, I have a good idea of what matter most… Looking forward to updating the columns and pivoting them to podcasts! In addition, starting with Episode #4, I will be start each podcast by sharing any relevant NYTimes articles that pertains to the intersection of business and health. Another 40 is the number of years I have read the NYTimes. It has given me such useful, thought provoking information over the years. i know many therapists I consult with are not from the NYC area and may not have ready access to the Times so I am looking forward to sharing relevant articles and stories.

Episode 2: The Best Prophet is the Best Guesser - What Will Happen to Private Practices Post COVID 19
•
Iris Kimberg, MS PT OTR
On this podcast, I share some thoughts on the first question most therapists have asked me in the last 90 days since COVID 19 entered our vocabularies and soon after, our day to day lives. What do I think will happen to private practices?? While no one really knows what is going to happen, there are ways we can move forward from where we are. I hope to impart useful and practical information, demonstrate that there is some aspect of "pandemic positivity" and point to reminders of one important concept: The post COVID future does not exist yet and will only exist after we create it.
