Episode #100 Do Hard Things: Therabody's Founder on Pain, Faith and Purpose

So I started building a practice under this guy's license in 2006, in January of 2006.

So now you guys know I'm going to clinic because I have my clinic hours I got to do.

And you know how daunting those are sometimes.

Right.

And I was going to my practice whenever I could to get in patients.

And in LA, I would leave it open.

I'd stay open until 8.30 or 9.

Because in LA, a lot of people, that's kind of their window from like 5.30 to 9 to take care of themselves.

So I was doing my thing.

I lived in Venice.

My school was in Hollywood.

And my office was in Beverly Hills.

So I was going that little triangle.

In my Jeep Wagoneer.

And one day I'm like seeing motorcycles fly by me.

And I'm like, this is BS.

I'm sitting in this fishbowl in the middle of winter or the winter of the summer on the 405.

And I'm watching these bikes fly by me.

So I'm like, I'm getting a bike.

So I bought a bike.

Now it's October 17th of 2007, and it's cold that morning.

I wake up.

It's cold.

I go out and get on my bike, and I just had this thought.

I hate carrying Kevlar gear because it's on a motorcycle.
