Hello everybody this is Justin Shelley CEO of Master Computing in the Dallas Fort Worth Metro coming to you with episode 2 of DFW Rockstars. This one is personal.
First, we’re going to talk about why I call it DFW Rockstars. This is about overcoming, talking to people who have delt with significant challenges in their lives, have had levels of success, and telling their story. Sharing how it is they overcome and how it is they achieve greatness. That is the theme of DFW Rockstars podcast.
In business we talk a lot about how there is no straight line to success. My guest here today might prove that theory wrong just a little bit. In fact, he is the best example of ‘straight line to success’ so far.
2:10 – Justin shares a powerful background story to start us off. It speaks to why running is so awesome because it’s all about proving to yourself you can do things that you didn’t think you could do. He talks about moments in early childhood that crushed him. And lead to this belief system early on in life, that he couldn’t do things...
4:40 - The turning point to this belief system he had: I decided that I was going to run distance. I got to the point to where I could run a 5K. I instantly started thinking “What’s next?” so I kept running, I completed a 10k, 15k, 20k, and kept thinking “Okay, what’s next?”
Huge goal of Justin’s: I want to qualify for Boston that’s a huge goal. Meaning it is very out of reach right now. I knew this was never going to be an option for me if I couldn’t stop getting injured. So, I grabbed myself a physical therapist. Now that’s where I introduce today’s guest.
8:00 – Justin introduces his physical therapist and guest on this episode. Steve White of Dallas Run Clinic. How I found out about Steve is by googling “Physical Theripist Running Dallas” and Steve was the first one to show up.

15:30 – Justin shares how one thing that drives him crazy about Facebook groups and running communities is people are constantly asking for advice for injuries.... Steve, in 30 seconds, why should you NOT go to Facebook or reedit to diagnose injuries?
Justin ran 5 marathons with improperly diagnosed
I ran 5 marathons with an improperly diagnosed injury. I highly recommend going to a SPECIALIST for whatever your sport / activity is.
One of the things that really stood out to me about your business is, #1 is your specialty, you went straight to this specialized version of physical therapy. This is one of the things you did right from day 1.
18:00 – Tell me a little bit about the name of your business, why that matters, how you set this up and where you learned it.
19:45 - My point: I googled “Dallas Run Physical Therapy” and you are the 1st one that shows up. Then we’ve got Facebook and more Facebook. The name of the business matters, the fact that you dialed it in to this niche market matters.
20:45 - Let's talk a little bit about business (pretend we are living under normal circumstances) and running a business.
23:55 - Tell me about the single most challenging thing you’ve had to face as a business owner
25:55 - I agree, that lonely is a really good way of describing that. So, what have you done to power through or overcome this?
If there’s anyone out there contemplating starting a business, what are some tips you have for them Steve?
30:00 – Steve shares some tips for dialing in your vision, marketing, strategy, stuff like that:
34:45 - Justin asks Steve to tell us what an avatar is and describe his avatars by name:
Rachel ran competitively then got into the working world and became a consultant and
Conor was an attorney age was low 40s
38:00 - I’ve talked about my own experience early in life, I’ve realized that I have to believe in myself but also recognize my limitations. When I hired you as a coach and PT I was looking forward at a goal. What are the things that are going to prevent me from running the Boston marathon?
41:00 – Parting message to the audience
When I hired you, I was looking to remove these obstacles. I feel like a l...
