  • 329 - How To Get A New Massage Therapist Booked Out Faster
    Jun 22 2026

    You hired the therapist.

    Now comes the harder part: getting clients to actually book with them.

    One of the biggest mistakes massage practice owners make is treating marketing like a collection of random activities instead of a system. A social media post here. A promotion there. A referral when someone remembers to ask.

    The problem is that random marketing creates random results.

    In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple framework for getting a new therapist booked faster without constantly chasing the latest marketing tactic.

    We'll discuss:

    • Why marketing becomes more important after you hire

    • How to set clear goals for a new therapist's schedule

    • How to identify what's already working in your marketing

    • Why doing more of what's working often beats trying something new

    • How to choose the right marketing strategies based on your time, energy, and budget

    • The retention metrics that actually matter

    • How to use internal marketing and client transfers to build momentum quickly

    If you've hired a therapist and you're staring at an empty schedule wondering what comes next, this episode will help you create a more intentional plan to fill it.

  • 328 - The Five Things That Determine If A New Hire Thrives In Your Massage Business
    Jun 18 2026

    You found someone.

    The interview went well. The practical looked great. They seemed like the perfect fit.

    A few months later, things aren't going the way you hoped.

    Before you assume you hired the wrong person, it may be worth looking at the bigger picture.

    In this episode, I break down the five factors that determine whether a new hire succeeds or struggles inside a massage practice. We'll talk about hiring, onboarding, expectations, leadership, and one of the most overlooked pieces of all: keeping their schedule busy.

    Because the truth is, a great hire can still fail in the wrong environment, while an average hire can thrive when they're given the right support.

    In this episode, we'll discuss:

    • How to tell if you actually hired the right person

    • The onboarding mistakes that create problems before they even start

    • Why unclear expectations lead to frustration on both sides

    • The leadership skills most massage business owners were never taught

    • Why marketing becomes even more important after you hire

    If you've ever hired someone and wondered, "Why isn't this working?" this episode will help you diagnose where the real problem might be.

  • 327 - The Untold Truth About Building a 6-7 Group Massage Practice
    Jun 8 2026

    In this episode, I explore why so many massage therapists struggle with the idea of building a larger business, where those fears come from, and the hidden cost of staying small simply because growth feels uncomfortable.

    This isn't a conversation about getting bigger for the sake of getting bigger.

    It's a conversation about building a business that supports the people inside it including you.

    We'll get into:

    • Why so many therapists are suspicious of successful group practices

    • Where those beliefs come from and why they often make sense

    • The difference between healthy discernment and self-protection

    • Why many owners attach a moral meaning to money, growth, and success

    • The hidden cost of staying fully booked, exhausted, and responsible for everything

    • Why good intentions alone don't create a sustainable business

    • What ethical profitability actually looks like in practice

    • How profit creates more options for owners, employees, and clients

    • Why a business that depends entirely on your hands is more fragile than it appears

    • The deeper identity fears many therapists have around growth and leadership

    • How to build a business that reflects your values without sacrificing your well-being

    If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I don't want to become that kind of owner," I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.
