Will Power Podcast by Will Humphreys From Investment Banking to Pediatric Impact: Scaling Culture with Adnan Bhanpuri
What happens when a high-stakes investment banker swaps Wall Street trading floors for the waiting rooms of a pediatric therapy clinic? In this episode, live from the Growth Code Conference, Will Humphreys sits down with Adnan Bhanpuri, co-owner of Treehouse Pediatric Therapy.
Adnan shares a masterclass in "indirect impact"—how non-clinical leadership, insurance negotiations, and operational excellence create the "bespoke" experience families need when they are at their most vulnerable. If you’ve ever wondered how to align your administrative team with your clinical mission, this conversation is for you.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- The Corporate Pivot: Why Adnan left the world of structured credit (think The Big Short) to find a more "human" ROI in pediatric rehab.
- The "Broadway" Analogy: Understanding the vital role of non-clinical staff as the stagehands that make the clinical "performance" possible.
- Following the Pain: How Treehouse evolved from a speech-only clinic to a multidisciplinary powerhouse (ABA, OT, PT, and Social Work) by simply listening to parent frustrations.
- The "Pura Vida" Leadership Style: Using a Growth Mindset to navigate the "Byzantine" rules of insurance and the stresses of business ownership.
- Operational Empathy: Why getting an insurance contract right or a schedule fixed is actually an act of love for the families you serve.
If you are a practice owner looking to bridge the gap between your administrative staff and your clinical mission, or if you're looking for inspiration on how to scale a "bespoke" family experience, this episode is for you.
