OTs Gone Rogue
The OTs Gone Rogue podcast is for occupational therapists who are ready to think differently, challenge themselves in new ways, and create meaningful change through the work they do.
Hosted by Melissa LaPointe, the show features candid conversations with special guests who offer different perspectives on entrepreneurship, leadership, program development, and professional identity.
Through real-world stories, thoughtful questions, and practical insights, we explore not only what people are building, but what they're learning, questioning, and becoming along the way.
