In this episode of The Health of Business, Danielle sits down with Vince Cunanan, physiotherapist, new clinic owner in Kelowna, outgoing President of PABC, and advocate for mental health. Vince shares his 25-year journey from Saskatoon to Kelowna, his rapid early clinical development, and over two decades of professional volunteer leadership. He opens up about: Taking over an established clinic after a succession plan fell through The emotional reality of leaving a team you love What it actually feels like to step into ownership Why systems and process matter more than people think Organic growth without spending on marketing Burnout in physiotherapy and the importance of life outside clinic walls The evolving role of PABC and what members need to understand about HPOA Why physiotherapists must stand tall and value their education Vince speaks candidly about leadership, vulnerability, and why a healthy business is one rooted in love.
