Show Notes

Jeremy VanDevender shares a practical clinic-growth and leadership framework built on a few core ideas: lead with optimism, listen like it’s your job (because it is), and create real pathways for clinicians to grow—clinically or into leadership—without burning out.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Jeremy earned internal buy-in and built “followership” through autonomy + support
  • Why negativity gets attention—but positivity builds real teams
  • What hasn’t changed in PT (patients want to feel better) vs. what’s changed a lot (documentation, reimbursement pressure, market expectations)
  • Great Resignation lessons: surveying your team, getting humbled, and responding fast
  • Career ladders that celebrate clinical excellence (not just management tracks)
  • Burnout prevention: orient careers around passion + allow evolution over time
  • “Aikigai” and how to keep redefining success across seasons of your career
  • Equus Growth Advisors: revenue-first strategy, M&A support, and growth planning across healthcare
  • Parting shot: build your career around what you love—and believe in the future of physical therapy
