Justin shares his journey from working in urgent care and emergency settings to building a multi–seven-figure CE company that allowed him to retire from clinical practice at 39. We talk openly about burnout, the "time-for-money trap," and why so many therapists are looking for new ways to expand their impact and income without leaving the profession they love. We dive into what actually makes a CE business successful. Justin breaks down the three types of CE models, explains why your value proposition is everything, and shares why building an audience is more important than just posting your course in a few Facebook groups and hoping for sales. We also talk about niching down, creating transformational (not just informational) courses, and how to position your expertise so it truly stands out. If you've ever thought about turning your clinical experience into a course, or scaling the CE offerings you already have, this episode will give you a bigger vision for what's possible.
