Episode notes

Welcome to Market Movers: Building Brands & Links with Linkifi! Your go-to podcast for transforming your business into an unforgettable brand, where branding meets SEO and link-building. I’m Chris Panteli, Co-Founder and CEO of Linkifi, and I’m joined by my co-host and Co-Founder, Nick Biggs. In this episode, we’re joined by Damian Adler, co-founder of Zanda Health and a registered psychologist from Australia who turned firsthand frustration with admin, compliance, and practice operations into one of the leading practice management platforms for allied health clinics. Key Talking Points From Psychologist to SaaS Founder. Damian started as a registered psychologist in Australia and built a private practice with his wife, who is also a psychologist. The original pain point was not patient care. It was the admin, paperwork, and compliance load behind running the practice. The Business Problem Was Hiding in Plain Sight. Damian and his wife assumed the hard part of private practice would be treatment delivery. Instead, they realized that the real bottleneck was operations. That insight became the foundation for the product. Growth Happened by Gradually Splitting Off Roles.
