EP677 Paul Meets: Todd Houghton | Burnt Out & Broke To Calm & Free
In this episode of Paul Meets, I sit down with Todd Houghton (https://houghtonphysicaltherapy.com), owner of a 22 year old outpatient physical therapy clinic in Massachusetts, and one of the most thoughtful business owners I know.
Todd’s story is powerful because it’s real.
For over two decades, he ran a successful but stressful insurance based clinic. Thin margins. Constant pressure. Always busy, but never quite free.
Then everything changed.
Todd also shares his vision for the next phase of life: traveling the world, coaching other owners, and building a business that supports freedom instead of consuming it.
If you’re a clinic owner who’s busy, tired, and wondering if it’s ever going to feel easier… this episode will hit home.

765. EP765 "Is This The Most Successful Model To Work Towards Building In The Next 2-3 Years?"
45:26||Ep. 765In this episode, I break down why the most successful PT clinics are evolving into wellness facilities and the numbers prove it. My CEO group is hitting 2.5x labor efficiency ratios and 25-30% margins by adding tech and wellness services alongside PT. If you're capping out at $300K doing one-on-one, this is the model to work toward. Stop being in love with the method and start chasing the outcome... that's what separates the stuck from the successful.
