Description

PTs talk about business education like it’s Bigfoot — everyone says it exists, nobody has actually seen it. So Jimmy McKay and David Fathalikhani decided to stop waiting for someone else to build it.


In this episode, they break down the creation of the first crowd-sourced, free MBA-style curriculum for physical therapists, launching January 1, 2026.


You’ll hear:

  • How one LinkedIn post attracted dozens of volunteer instructors
  • Why PTs struggle with business (fear, uncertainty, no roadmap)
  • How the year-long curriculum is structured (monthly themes + weekly micro-lessons)
  • Why finance, operations, leadership, culture, law, and real estate must be part of PT education
  • What PTs can finally learn that DPT programs never had time to teach
  • How the entire project stays free and open to the profession


Whether you’re launching a cash practice, growing a clinic, or just want to understand the business of healthcare, this is the foundation for everything that comes next.
