🤖 If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT and thought, “Wait... is this cheating?”—you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Greg Goodman—founder of Goodman Creatives, marketing wizard, and one of the first folks in the therapy space to say, “Yep, AI’s here, and it’s actually kinda amazing.”

But this convo? It’s not a “rah-rah robots are taking over” fest.

It’s a grounded, nuanced, actually kind of inspiring exploration of how AI (specifically large language models like ChatGPT) is changing the way therapists show up in the online world—ethically, intentionally, and maybe even… joyfully? 😄💻

We also talk transparency, consent, HIPAA (yep, that again), and how your philosophical stance on AI might shift once you realize it can give you your Saturday back.

So if you’re a therapist who wants to market ethically and efficiently, or you’re still feeling a little icky about handing over your writing to a robot—this episode’s your warm hug and reality check, all in one.

Grab your favorite beverage and get comfy. Let’s decode the ethics, artistry, and opportunities of AI—together.

▶️ Hit play and let’s dive in.

Have you ever felt allergic to networking events?

Allergic to being “the brand,” or just plain overwhelmed by the loud, shiny world of online business… you’re gonna want to hear this one. 👀✨

Because in this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Melvin Varghese—psychologist, podcaster, and the original Quiet Builder.

Now, Melvin didn’t take a single business or marketing class. No MBA. No corporate blueprint. Just a deep love for meaningful work, a steady commitment to service, and a whole lotta curiosity. And yet—he built one of the most respected platforms in the therapist world. (Hi, Selling the Couch fam 👋)

So, how did he do it?

Spoiler: no dance reels required. 💃🚫

Instead, Melvin shares the story of how growing up between two cultures—India and the U.S.—shaped his perspective on legacy, leadership, and building a business with roots and reach. He talks about the power of building around your energy (not your ego), why margin is the unsung hero of a sustainable business, and what it means to grow something that outlives you.

From seeing a man handcraft combs on the side of the road in India, to reflecting on his great-grandfather’s selfless act of feeding an entire village during wartime, Melvin threads it all together in a way that’ll make you pause… and maybe even tear up a little. (I did. No shame.)

This episode isn’t a pep talk—it’s a grounded conversation with someone who’s been through the hustle, hit pause, and chose to build something sustainable instead. Think of it as a gentle nudge to look inward, reassess what you really want, and maybe start planting something of your own.

So whether you’re burned out from client work, exploring new offers, or just craving a business model that doesn’t drain your soul... this one’s for you.

Let’s be real - most therapists were trained to be the calm in the storm. Stay grounded. Stay humble. Stay in your neatly labeled little lane. 🙃

But what happens when a therapist doesn’t play small? When she starts questioning shady practices, calling out corporate nonsense, and using her voice online to shake things up?

Well, it looks a lot like Candice Thompson.

In this episode, Candice shares how a casual preschool drop-off convo turned into a deep dive into LinkedIn... and how LinkedIn turned into a platform for advocacy, viral posts, and a growing chorus of therapists who are done being quiet.

Candice is a licensed marriage and family therapist in CA & OR. She considers herself a well-rounded generalist, with twenty years of experience in the field of mental health; fifteen practicing psychotherapy.

This episode is your permission slip to take up space. To speak your truth. To remember that you are the expert—and your voice matters.

Whether you're curious about dipping your toe into LinkedIn, dreaming of private practice, or just trying to keep your head on straight in a loud (and sometimes sketchy) industry, this convo is a breath of fresh air.

So grab your coffee (or LaCroix—we don’t judge) and get ready to feel fired up. 💬✨
