#123 - Creating a 90-Million Dollar Business with Jason Smith

The Tyson Popplestone Show

Jason Smith is the founder of the Back In Motion Health Group. At its peak, Jason led a team of more than 700 professionals in over 140 locations across Australia and New Zealand. Jason has successfully started, grown and sold numerous brands in healthcare including Actif (occupational health), Revita (aged care). and eventually merging Back In Motion with ASX-listed allied health parent Healthia, setting a record for one of the largest transactions recognised in the sector.

Jason’s first book, Get Yourself Back In Motion: a physiotherapist’s secrets to pain relief and optimal health (Global Publishing 2013), was an international best-seller. Empowering his readers to live at their physical best, the book stands in a class of its own as an essential medical resource in every home. His second book, Outside-In Downside-Up Leadership: 50 insights from a true story of remarkable organisational change (Major Press 2018), chronicles a story of courageous innovation and leadership revolution. It has been an instant success with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and the leadership base who want to achieve more with their people.
