His Dreams of Being a Doctor
Dashed, He Found a New Calling Running a Physiotherapy
Business: Jason T. Smith
Jason T Smith thought he'd missed out on his calling to be a
medical missionary, until he realized he'd been gifted a new one.
Smith's vision for being a doctor helping heal those in underserved
nations came crashing down when he didn't qualify to study
medicine. So instead, he pursued physiotherapy, first as a backup
plan, but then with a passion for not only restoring health, but
for reimagining the field.
He became founder and CEO of Australia's largest physiotherapy
network, the Back in Motion Health Group. He never wanted a
business, he says, yet ended up as a franchisor, with more than 140
of them supported by a team of more than 700 employees.
But that isn't the final chapter of his life of significance. He
sold the businesses for $100 million to focus full time on pursuits
like his Iceberg Leadership Institute, where he's mentored more
than 1000, others just like him.
