In this episode of The Founders’ Journey, we sit down with Michelle Collie, Founder and CEO of Highbar Physical Therapy, to explore a story where the journey is just as personal as the objective. From a life-changing ACL injury on a basketball court in rural New Zealand to building and scaling a leading physical therapy platform alongside Rallyday, Michelle shares hard-earned lessons on leadership, purpose, and value creation. Together, we unpack how to “pull” a private equity partner, why putting teammates first leads to better outcomes, and how aggressively humble leadership can elevate an entire organization and an industry. This is a candid, inspiring conversation about growth, resilience, and building something that truly matters.
