Podcasts about Podiatry

One of my clients just had one of their best months ever in terms of cash collected …but when we pulled the numbers, their profit was down 40% compared to just four months earlier.In Episode 178 of The Podiatry Business Podcast I want to walk you through what happened, why it's more common than you think, and what you must do to avoid a busy clinic with not enough profitsBy the end, you'll know exactly why focusing on turnover alone is dangerous, what really drives profit in a podiatry clinic, and how a simple monthly P&L review can save you from nasty surprises.

This week I'm joined by long-time friend, podiatrist, and business coach Dr Peter Wishnie. Peter and I have known each other for more than a decade, and although we technically work in the same space, we've never competed. Instead, we've worked alongside each other with an abundance mindset because when you understand your strengths, your ideal clients, and your purpose, there's more than enough opportunity to go around. In this episode, we unpack the massive difference between scarcity and abundance, and why so many podiatrists unknowingly sabotage themselves with old beliefs about money, competition, and "not being good enough." We also dive into the concept of the robot brain, and how much of your day is run on autopilot without you realising it. Innovation never comes from the robot, so if you want next year to be different, you'll need to consciously take back control of your thinking. We also explore confidence, delegation, public speaking, personalised marketing, and the danger of generic "mass coaching" funnels that don't understand podiatry. Peter shares insights from 30+ years in practice, plus a sneak peek at his upcoming book, It's Not Your Fault (Unless It Is). If you're ready to think differently about how you practise, lead, and grow, this episode is for you. If you want to connect with Peter, his email is drwishnie@gmail.com, and you can also find him on LinkedIn at Coach Peter Wishnie and on Instagram: @coach_peterwishnie.

"The Big Myth That A Smaller Podiatry Clinic Means Less Risk" is a conversation for podiatry clinic owners who don't just want “more,” they want the right kind of more. In this episode, I unpack why so many of us start a clinic with no real end goal, drift into a business we never consciously designed, and then feel disappointed when we finally hit our targets. We'll talk about starting with the end in mind – defining the income, lifestyle, and role you actually want – and why reaching a destination rarely changes how you feel inside. I'll dive into enjoying the journey of building a business, working on your mindset as much as your metrics, and why staying small doesn't mean staying safe. You'll learn how to think about risk realistically, manage and mitigate it, and choose a clinic size that truly fits the life you want.

Healthy Practitioner, Healthy Business: The Future of Podiatry Practice Running a podiatry clinic shouldn't come at the expense of your health, happiness, or home life. Yet far too many practitioners are running on empty, juggling long hours, heavy patient loads, and the constant pressure to keep their businesses afloat. In this week's episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I spoke with Daniel Monteleone, the owner of Proactive Health and Movement in Geelong, Victoria. Daniel's outlook is refreshing: he's built a business model that values wellbeing just as much as revenue, proving that a healthy practitioner really does lead to a healthy business. Check Out My Upcoming Events  Listen in as we unpack Daniel's 25-hour consulting week, his philosophy on mentoring and trust, and how prioritising practitioner health first has fuelled nine years of business growth and team loyalty. This episode is a must-hear for any podiatrist ready to step off the treadmill and design a practice that supports their life, not drains it.

A game-changing discussion about the shift from traditional SEO to SEAI (Search Engine AI Integration) and why podiatry clinics must adapt now or risk becoming invisible to their ideal patients"If you're still optimising your podiatry website for Google like it's 2019, you're already invisible to 60% of your potential patients. Here's why: your ideal patients aren't typing 'podiatrist near me' into Google anymore—they're asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations. And if you're not showing up there, you don't exist." Episode 176 of the Podiatry Business Podcast ;  Getting Found Online In The AI Age - A Podiatry Clinics Guide

This week, we explore how divorce, drink-driving offences, and defamation can cripple a career or clinic if not handled properly, and why most people react far too late. My guest, Tad Nelson, a criminal defence lawyer and "Super Lawyer" from Galveston County, Texas, who brings more than three decades of courtroom experience, plus a master's degree in forensic toxicology, to our conversation. Tad has seen the best and worst of human behaviour, and his insights apply directly to business owners navigating legal, personal, or reputation challenges. Tad explains the importance of acting fast, staying calm, and getting professional help, both legal and PR,  before the fallout damages your brand, income, or family. He also shares his philosophy that a strong reputation isn't repaired after a crisis; it's built long before one happens. This episode is packed with practical advice on staying ahead of legal problems, managing perception in the age of social media, and leading with integrity under pressure. Whether you're a podiatrist, clinic owner, or entrepreneur in any field, you'll take away lessons on communication, humility, and protecting the business you've worked so hard to build.

This week, I'm joined again by Dr Patrick McEneaney, DPM from Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists. Patrick shares how he's grown to 16 clinics by hiring intentionally, tracking the right metrics, and knowing when to consolidate. We talk about the lessons of leadership, the art of delegation, and why cultural alignment is the real key to long-term success. Five Big Takeaways Numbers tell the truth. Always track performance and retention. Hire for attitude, not just skill. You can train techniques, not culture. Growth requires letting go of ego. Make decisions based on data. Consolidation isn't failure; it's refinement. Smart leadership builds scalability, not stress.

This is Part Two of my conversation with Dr Fern Kazlow, clinical psychotherapist, business strategist, and mentor to high achievers, based in New York, USA. In this episode, we explore her Resistance Paradox™, how to understand your own patterns, and why changing your mindset starts with compassion. We go beyond communication and dive deep into resistance, beliefs, and the psychology of change. We discuss how high achievers get stuck, why old patterns hold us back, and how to lead and live with more clarity and connection. If you haven't heard Part One yet, go back and check it out; it sets the stage for this deep, transformative discussion.  “Turn up the discernment, dial down the judgment.” - Dr K.  Five Takeaways: What once helped you succeed can now be the very thing holding you back. Understand your resistance—it's the gateway to your next level. Changing beliefs starts with curiosity and compassion. Only a small, focused group can inspire massive change within a profession. “Slay your dragons — don't slay yourself.” Self-awareness beats self-attack.

Dr Fern Kazlow returns to the podcast, and we dive into the critical role communication plays in building trust with our patients. This is Part One of our conversation, where we focus on how poor communication can damage connections with patients, staff, colleagues, and also family and friends. We also examine the dangers of outsourcing, particularly when it comes to compromising your authenticity, and why connection-powered business is the future. PLEASE, take a look at my UPCOMING EVENTS.  Eight Key Takeaways from (Part One) Poor communication directly decreases trust and weakens patient loyalty. Human connection is more important than ever in a world leaning heavily on automation and AI. Connection-powered business requires presence, listening, and authenticity. Patients can easily tell when communication is outsourced or generic. Editing and creating content yourself helps maintain authenticity and audience respect. Loyalty comes from honest communication, not just good outcomes. Presence in patient interactions is more valuable than perfection. Malpractice claims often stem from poor communication rather than poor outcomes.

In this episode, I discuss with Sinead O'Donovan from SRC health :The evidence based benefits of compression The feedback I receive from clientsThe quality garments SRC has developed for incontinence, prolapse, back/pelvic pain and the perinatal populationTo check out SRC products: www.srchealth.comFor 10% off your order: THEPELVICFLOORPROJECTSinead O'Donovan's professional journey began with her qualification as a Registered Nurse, specializing in ICU and Cardio Thoracic medicine and Surgery. Subsequently, she achieved a BSc Hons in Podiatry and practiced in a private setting for a decade. In 2008, she took the significant step of founding SRC Health. While recuperating in the hospital following the birth of her first child, Sinead O'Donovan, our founder, recognized the need for greater support for new mothers returning to their bustling lives. Leveraging her extensive medical and bio-mechanical expertise, she envisioned a garment that would provide comfort throughout the day while offering the necessary support for herself and other new mothers.Like all transformative ideas, this concept underwent an extended development phase to align with Sinead's original vision. Adjustments were made to the panel design, and in the pursuit of perfection, custom fabrics were created to meet the high standards set by Sinead.After two years of meticulous development and patient trials, the garment finally fulfilled all expectations. In 2008, the SRC Recovery Shorts were introduced, a unique and patented product that has since aided thousands of mothers worldwide in recovering more comfortably and savouring their time with their babies. The SRC Pregnancy range soon followed. SRC health now boasts an extensive range of medical compression garments.www.srchealth.comInstagram: @srchealthLINKS Mentioned75.

In this solo episode, I introduce the concept of The Energy Audit, a simple weekly reflection that helps podiatrists identify what fuels them, what drains them, and how to realign their schedule for better focus and motivation. Ending the week mentally flat and emotionally drained is not uncommon, and more often than not, the problem isn't time management. It's energy management. In this episode, you'll discover: The 4 energy zones that shape your week:  recharge activities high-energy work low-level essentials, and energy vampires (the blood suckers) The most common energy traps in every podiatry clinic. From back-to-back patients, toxic, ineffective meetings, to overpromising. Practical ways to restructure your week: time blocking for energy building in proper recharge time delegating low-energy tasks, and protecting creative outlets Why reviewing your week every Friday can prevent burnout and help you stay consistent. This isn't about productivity hacks; it's about making small shifts that lead to big improvements in how you show up at work and at home. If you've been feeling stretched thin, this episode will give you a framework to protect your energy so you can perform at your best as a podiatrist and clinic owner. If you do your first energy audit this week, please send me an email at tf@tysonfranklin.com or tyson@podiatrylegends.com and let me know what changes you're making and how it's impacting your work and life.

My guest today is Jonathan Small, and this is his 14th appearance on the Podiatry Legends Podcast, and probably most controvesial. This time, we dive into a bold comparison: podiatry versus dentistry. We discuss why podiatry must stop underselling itself, the dangers of low-cost clinic setups, and how adopting a dental-style model could elevate the profession. From training standards and fees to public perception and professional respect, this episode is a call-to-arms for podiatrists everywhere. If you've ever wondered why dentistry commands higher fees and greater status, tune in as we unpack what podiatry can learn and how we can push the profession forward. We also discussed why there should be a STAR RATING SYSTEM for Podiatry clinics, because we are not all the same, and the public should be made aware of clinics that are a little dodgy.  Please share this episode with your podiatry friends, unless you don't have any.    Don't forget to look at my UPCOMING EVENTS.

Finding reliable locum cover has always been one of the toughest challenges for podiatry clinics. In this episode, I speak with Hayley Uden about her groundbreaking app, HeyLucy!, which simplifies the entire process. From automated invoicing and quick payments to flexible opportunities for podiatrists, HeyLucy! is changing how we think about staffing. Tune in to hear how this app could make your professional life easier and more rewarding. Seven Key Takeaways Locuming in podiatry has lacked a centralised, transparent system. HeyLucy! connects clinics and locums directly via an easy‑to‑use app. The app automates invoicing and payroll, reducing admin stress. Locums receive payments immediately after their shifts. Flexible work options support semi‑retired podiatrists, parents coming back into the work force and podiatrists who only want to work part‑time. HeyLucy! allows podiatrists to try different clinics and regions. It's like a try-before-you-buy.  The platform strengthens the profession by mobilising more practitioners.

This week's guest is Rebecca Rodger, a podiatrist from Kendal, England, who proves there's no single path to success in our profession. From running a multidisciplinary clinic to working in COVID vaccination, and now shaping global wound care strategies at Convatec, Rebecca has redefined what it means to be a podiatrist. We discuss networking, mentorship, and the value of exploring non-traditional career paths, as well as why evidence-based wound care should be a priority for every podiatrist. ⭐ 5 Standout Takeaways Your podiatry skills are never lost; they serve as your ultimate career safety net. Non-traditional career paths expand the profession's global influence. Evidence-based care must be applied in private practice. Networking beyond podiatry broadens professional horizons. Mentorship accelerates growth and supports the next generation. “You can almost stagnate if you don't go onto the next opportunity.” My conversation with Rebecca was both inspiring and practical. She is proof that podiatry can open doors to diverse opportunities far beyond the clinic. Whether it's entrepreneurship, research, corporate health, or global strategy, our profession provides a platform for impact at every level. If you've ever thought about pivoting or exploring non-traditional career paths, Rebecca's story is a reminder that it's possible, and that your podiatry skills will always remain your foundation.

Dr. Patrick Agnew joins me for a deep dive into paediatric podiatry and the complexities of treating connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. With over 30 years in practice, Dr. Agnew shares how his early mentorship under Dr. James Ganley shaped his path, and why he believes more podiatrists should embrace niche work, especially with children. “You don't need 90% of your work to be niche—15% can change your career.” Today, Dr. Agnew is on the board of the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics. He continues to write, speak, and advocate for greater understanding in this often-overlooked niche. According to Patrick, pediatric podiatry is an area many practitioners fear unnecessarily; mainly because the stakes seem higher and the data is often sparse. That fear is valid. But Patrick encourages curiosity over fear. “There's no competition,” he says. In fact, many podiatrists shy away from treating children because of perceived risks, parent pressure, or financial concerns. But for Patrick, those young patients are the most rewarding part of his work.

David M Frees returns to the Podiatry Legends Podcast to share a powerful strategic tool borrowed from the military: Red Team, Blue Team, and Purple Team thinking. We discuss how podiatry businesses can use this method to identify vulnerabilities, defend against threats, and uncover growth opportunities – creating a more resilient and profitable practice. Learn more about Dave's Training at Business Black Ops.  9 Key Takeaways from this Episode: The Red Team's job is to identify vulnerabilities and potential attacks on the business. The Blue Team focuses on defending the business and finding growth opportunities. Combining both perspectives creates the Purple Team, where the best ideas are integrated. Podiatry clinics often fail to review the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Anticipating threats prevents panic when challenges arise. Inversion thinking helps identify what could destroy your business. Opportunities can be just as valuable as threat prevention. Having a facilitator improves the quality of Red/Blue Team sessions. Documenting scenarios and solutions creates a valuable reference for future challenges. If you found this episode helpful, share it with another podiatrist or business owner. And if you'd like guidance on implementing Red Team, Blue Team, Purple Team thinking in your practice, get in touch with me via email at tf@tysonfranklin.com or visit my website tysonfranklin.com. I'd love to help you future-proof your business. Visit the Podiatry Legends Podcast Website for more detailed show notes.  Join my Facebook Group - Podiatry Business Owners Club.
