Are staffing agencies and investor-backed companies pocketing the profits while you do the work? In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP sit down with Elise Mitchell, MS/SLP, founder of The Therapist Support Network, to expose how contracting puts the power—and the paycheck—back in your hands. Whether you're in schools, hospitals, or private practice, learn how SLPs are building income, autonomy, and stability by cutting out the middleman. We cover how to pitch contracts, what to charge, and why provider-run businesses are the future of speech-language pathology.

Don't forget to download and listen to The Guide to Setting Your Rate for School Contracts and show Elise some love with a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and review so even more SLPs can find her information.
