What a Rock Radio DJ Learned That Every PT Needs to Hear

from PT Pintcast - Physical Therapy · host Jimmy McKay, PT, DPT | Physical Therapy Podcast

Most episodes, Jimmy McKay is the one asking the questions. Not this time.In this episode, Amit Gagliani flips the script and turns the mic on the host himself — using AI-generated questions to dig into the story Jimmy rarely tells. You'll hear how a morning announcement in sixth grade led to running a rock radio station, interning at K-Rock (yes, Howard Stern's station), and eventually walking away from the dream job he'd had since he was 11 years old.Then: why he almost went to law school, spent a year in business school, and finally found physical therapy through a triathlete friend on a bike ride.Plus — what radio actually taught Jimmy about healthcare communication, why the PT profession's biggest problem has completely shifted in the last decade, and the one thing he says every clinic owner needs to stop saying on their website.If you've ever wondered who Jimmy McKay is when he's not the one holding the mic — this is it.Topics covered:Rock radio to PT: the iPhone moment that changed everything (2008)Interning at WXRK / K-Rock in New YorkWhat PT school looked like at 28, surrounded by 21-year-olds"Accidentally" starting the PT PodcastThe $125K CSM fundraiser — and why no one stole the ideaWhy talent retention has replaced patient acquisition as PT's #1 challengeThe PASO framework and why "mentorship" on your website means nothing"I make suggestions. You make decisions." — and what that really means in the clinic
