In this episode of the Adapt and Overcome Podcast, Tommy Hardaway sits down with renowned physical therapist and strength coach Charlie Weingroff. Known for bridging the gap between medical rehabilitation and elite performance training, Charlie shares insights from a career that spans professional sports, high-level consulting, and serving as the lead physical therapist for United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
Charlie explains how his unique background in physical therapy, athletic training, and strength and conditioning allowed him to create a model where rehab and performance work together rather than separately. His approach focuses on solving the common disconnect between medical professionals and coaches, ensuring athletes and operators receive a unified strategy for recovery and performance.
During the conversation, Charlie reflects on his time supporting Marine Raiders as an “essential warfighting civilian,” a role that placed him directly in the mission of maintaining elite operators’ physical readiness. He discusses the lessons he learned working with high performers—from professional athletes to special operations personnel—and the communication challenges that come with advising individuals already performing at the highest level.
Beyond performance and rehabilitation, the discussion shifts toward financial independence and entrepreneurship. Charlie shares candid insights on building wealth as a healthcare professional, including the realities of trading time for money, scaling a service-based business, and why many professionals should begin thinking about investments earlier in their careers.
From index funds to real estate strategies, Charlie explains how independent professionals can leverage business ownership and smart financial decisions to build long-term wealth. He also highlights how risk-taking and entrepreneurship are often rewarded in the economic system, especially for those willing to step outside traditional employment.

What does it look like when a military physician combines medical excellence with smart financial thinking? In this episode, Tommy Hardaway sits down with active-duty Army cardiologist Adam Kisling to talk about medicine, leadership, and why healthcare professionals should think beyond their primary career when it comes to building wealth.
Adam shares his journey practicing cardiology while serving in the U.S. Army and explains how his experiences across different military assignments shaped the way he approaches both patient care and professional growth. Moving through multiple duty stations exposed him to different systems, leadership styles, and medical cultures—lessons that continue to influence how he practices today.
During the conversation, Adam explains why cardiology fascinates him. The field allows him to work with a wide range of patients—from young individuals with rare conditions to those facing serious heart disease later in life. That variety keeps the work meaningful and constantly challenging.
Tommy and Adam also dive into one of the biggest realities physicians face: the emotional and psychological weight of treating serious illness. Adam speaks honestly about the challenge of knowing that, despite training and effort, every doctor will eventually face cases they cannot fix. For him, the key to overcoming that pressure has been leaning on training, teamwork, and mentorship.
Beyond medicine, Adam shares an important message for healthcare professionals about financial awareness. Many physicians focus entirely on their clinical work, but Adam believes it is essential to understand personal finance, investing, and alternative income opportunities. He talks about maintaining a conservative investment approach through index funds, mutual funds, and real estate while also staying open to other potential income streams outside of medicine.
One of the topics Adam is most passionate about today is mentorship. He spends much of his time helping train the next generation of cardiologists—especially physicians transitioning from internal medicine into cardiology within the military system. Passing along the lessons he learned along the way is something he finds deeply meaningful.
For Adam, success comes down to continuous learning, staying curious about opportunities beyond your main profession, and helping others grow along the way.

In this episode of the Adapt and Overcome Podcast, Tommy Hardaway sits down with Marine veteran John Hayes to talk about a 30-year journey from “black magic” warehouse automation to building a real consulting business. John breaks down what he does in simple terms: think forklifts without people. He shares how getting started in the early days of AGVs (now AMRs) gave him a front-row seat to the robotics boom, and how he turned that long runway of experience into an advantage people can trust.
John also talks about what helped him stand out—building a personal brand, learning how to listen for what people mean (not just what they say), and using Marine Corps planning habits like BAMSIS to slow down, think clearly, and execute the right plan. The conversation shifts into life lessons too, including discipline, ethics, and why he eventually stepped away from corporate sales to work for himself as an advocate for customers.
Later, John shares practical thoughts on building wealth outside of a W-2. He explains why real estate can be a simple starting point for everyday people, why saving a little consistently matters, and how being prepared can open doors when opportunities show up. He also discusses basic investing ideas—like focusing on companies you understand and keeping savings in accounts that actually pay interest.
By the end, John keeps it real about what’s ahead: he’s working to close a major consulting deal, and if it doesn’t happen, he’s going fishing.
