Transcript

Mike Reinold: Welcome back everybody to the latest episode of the Ask Mike Reinold show. I am with my good friend Phil Page. Phil and I just spent the last couple hours or so now kind of filming some presentations for my Inner Circle on research, which is one of the areas that I think Phil is awesome at. He’s obviously one of the people I’ve looked to over my career on how to learn, how to read journal articles and digest information from them and understanding good research and bad research. And I’ve seen him speak and do a bunch of things over the years. So Phil’s the man for that and I’ve been trying to get what for like, what was it two years you think Phil?

Phil Page: Two years.

Mike Reinold: Yeah, two years. I’m just like, “Hey man, you got to fill in these presentations for my Inner Circle. I think everybody would love them.” So anyway, thank you for doing that. If you’re not a member of my Inner Circle, you’ve got to check it out. But I also wanted to do a special podcast episode because him and I were talking and I have a lot of questions. So Phil, before we get started a little bit, just tell everybody a little bit about yourself.

Phil Page: Yeah, thanks Mike. So I am Research Director and Assistant Professor in physical therapy at Franciscan University here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It’s a new program. We’re just finishing up our second cohort. So it’s a new school and I spent the last 20 years working with Performance Health as their Director of Research and Education. And I’ve been a research geek since my first year of college.
