·50 min·2 clips

"When I see people with a problem like yours, they usually fall into two groups" is Casey's exact script for asking to be paid.

1. Pre-PT Grind's episode 298, "How to Make Money In School | Operation Moneymaker," walks through a 54-page guide for earning income during PT school and pre-PT study. 2. Casey, co-founder of Pre-PT Grind alongside Joses, hosts, and the pair also run Cash and Class University for pre-PT students, SPTs, and other healthcare majors. 3. The core thesis is the line "students do not make money, problem solvers do," paired with the claim that most PT burnout comes from money rather than from clinical work. 4. Casey cites his own result as proof: $148,000 in combined undergraduate and PT school loans, paid off two and a half years after graduating without travel PT or home health. 5. He says the same skills let him buy back a family property for $100,000 on three weeks' notice, and that the house is now worth over $350,000. 6. The method starts with four idea-finding questions (what you love, what you are good at, what problems you can solve, what people will pay for) and then five steps: find your audience, uncover their problems, solve the problem for free, show your results, and get paid. 7. He separates demographics from psychographics, using Pre-PT Grind's audience of 16 to 32 year olds, about 70% female and 30% male, and distinguishes a surface problem such as "I just want to get into PT school" from a hidden problem such as not wanting to be embarrassed at family dinners. 8. He argues that solving problems for free builds trust, practice, proof, feedback, and referrals, and that clients can market for you through video testimonials, reviews, and before-and-after pictures. 9. On the money mindset, he says "you never really lose money," describing his $148,000 education, over $10,000 spent on mentors including Greg Todd, Aaron LeBauer, Paul Goff, and Rhett Polka, and over $150,000 of business education as exchanges for things of value. 10. Best for pre-PTs and PT students wanting a framework for earning while studying.
