In this 1:50 episode, Josh talks about people who are constantly in a bad mood (like Wolverine). Don’t let yesterday dictate today, the last hour impact this hour, but live in expectation that it can and will get better.

In this 2:20 episode, Josh pulled some lessons from the book by Matthew McConaughey. Hope will get you thru red and yellow lights to the green lights.

In this 2:10 episode, Josh compares a FCE (functional capacity evaluation) to the final fight scene of Karate Kid. You’ll need to watch the video to figure out how he made that connection.

In this 2:05 episode, Josh quotes Rocky Balboa’s speech that he has over his desk … “It ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!” That is a good life lesson for us all, especially rehab patients whose journey is likely not a one hit wonder.

In this 2:47 episode, Josh’s approach to reducing burnout is to always return to the Why, which is helping others. Documentation and regulations can take the fun out of the job, but 100% of therapists-in-training start with the desire to facilitate the recovery process. When things get mundane or overwhelming, start at the beginning and rediscover your core.

In this 1:36 episode, Josh connects the 300 to leading from the front, an intentional act that should be part of every leader’s DNA. That is especially true in rehab, where patients want you side-by-side in their efforts to get better.

In this 2:21 episode, Josh demonstrates how to think outside the box to brighten the day of someone with a unique experience.

In this 1:48 episode, Josh exhorts everyone to help others, and yourself, find the silver lining in every situation.

In this 2:46 episode, Josh channels his inner “John McClane” to discuss how outsiders can make a mess worse so lean into the insiders (your own Al Powell) as good listeners.

In this 2:52 episode, Josh exhorts his colleagues (and everybody) to “help me help you” which might require meeting halfway.
