NDIS Provider Growth Journey

How Daniel Sharman Grew to 1,000 NDIS Clients Without Losing His Mind (Ep 18)

Michael Clark from Athletic Koala Season 1 Episode 18

In this masterclass episode, I sit down with Daniel Sharman – the Jedi Knight of growth in Allied Health – to talk about scaling with purpose. He grew from solo operator to over 40 staff across two states, supporting 1,000+ clients. But it didn’t come easy.

We talk about:
✅ The systems he had to rebuild at 50, 500, and 1,000 clients
✅ How leadership pressure hits you in waves – and how to stay steady
✅ What founders get wrong when trying to grow fast
✅ Why taking on every client might actually hurt your business
✅ What keeps him grounded (hint: horse riding and AFL tackles)

If you’re in NDIS, Allied Health, or growing any purpose-driven business – this one’s a must-listen.
