Podiatry Legends Podcast

What if growing your podiatry business didn't mean longer hours, more stress, or chasing endless new patients? In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, Tyson E Franklin is joined by marketing strategist Neil Ateem, founder of www.Multiplier.Agency, to explore smarter ways health and wellness businesses can scale in 2026. Neil shares why clinics hit growth bottlenecks, how to scale without burnout, and why selling outcomes matters more than selling appointments. The conversation dives into packaging services, improving patient compliance, leveraging reputation and referrals, and using simple systems to reduce repetition while increasing value. This episode also explores how podiatrists can think beyond the treatment room through online education, digital programs, and scalable ideas, without losing clinical integrity. If you want to grow your clinic with more clarity, better systems, and less overwhelm, this episode will change how you think about growth.

In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I sit down with UK podiatrist and clinic owner Jonathan Shearer to discuss how networking and relationship-building have played a major role in growing his practice. Jonathan shares his journey from working in the NHS to building a successful private clinic, along with practical insights into community engagement, collaboration with other health professionals, and why long-term thinking beats short-term marketing tactics. This conversation is ideal for podiatrists and health professionals who want to grow their clinics in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and grounded in real human connection. 10 Key Takeaways Networking is about relationships, not selling Long-term growth beats short-term marketing tactics Getting out of the clinic matters Visibility creates opportunity Helping first builds trust - Testimonial https://www.facebook.com/groups/podiatrybusinessownersclub Community presence compounds over time Not all referrals come from health professionals Clinic growth requires intention Relationships outperform discounts Sustainable success is built, not rushed No one wants a business coach; however, if you are looking, let's talk.

Alan and Sharon Cawthorne from Podiatry & Gait Clinic in Middlesbrough, UK, didn't plan their biggest career decisions sitting up late at night, stressing about life. They happened on holidays, in a relaxed environment, often at a beach bar. In this episode, we talk about career change, pricing confidence, investing in technology, reducing burnout, and designing a clinic and lifestyle that feels sustainable long-term. This is a conversation about perspective. About stepping back to move forward. And about why sometimes the most valuable thinking happens when you're not trying to be productive at all. If you're feeling a little stuck in your career, unsure of what direction you should head next, this is the episode you need to listen to again and again.  Check out my YouTube channel, Tyson E Franklin, to watch the video of today's episode.

In this bonus episode, I share ten practical ways to get more out of conferences and professional events in 2026. With so many events coming up, this is the perfect time to stop treating conferences as something you squeeze in between clinic days and start using them as genuine growth opportunities. I cover everything from how to prepare properly before an event, why being fully present matters more than taking endless notes, and how relationships formed at conferences often deliver more long-term value than the presentations themselves. We also look at why leaving early, working during sessions, or arriving exhausted quietly sabotages the return on your investment. If you want conferences to actually improve your skills, your business, and your confidence, this episode will help you rethink how you attend, how you learn, and how you apply what you take away. Sometimes a small shift in approach makes a massive difference. Check out my YouTube channel, Tyson E Franklin, to watch the video of today's episode.

3D printing is no longer a future concept in podiatry. It's already reshaping how clinics think about orthotics, turnaround times, and control over their systems. In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I'm joined by returning guest Kieran Carew from Foot Health Orthotics FIT4U, to unpack what's really happening with 3D printed orthotics inside podiatry clinics. Kieran brings a unique perspective, combining decades of experience in orthotics with a background in engineering and biomechanics. We explore the practical realities of bringing 3D printing in-house, including setup, training, calibration, CAD design, and the importance of education. This isn't a glossy tech discussion. It's an honest look at what works, what doesn't, and why technology without understanding can quickly become a headache. We also dive into the business side of the conversation. Reduced lab fees, faster turnaround times, improved margins, and greater control over the orthotic process are all on the table. We discuss why more clinics are rethinking their reliance on traditional lab and how visible technology in a clinic can even influence patient engagement and orthotic uptake. If you've been curious about 3D printing but unsure where it fits in your clinic, this episode will give you clarity.

To celebrate this 400th episode, I'm joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners. In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction. Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle. We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don't know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about chasing wealth. It's about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.

In this final episode of my four-part December solo series, I share why traditional goal-setting often fails podiatry business owners and what to do instead. If you've ever set goals in December only to forget them by February, you're not alone. The problem isn't always motivation; it's that most goals are too vague, too shallow, or completely disconnected from the real issues holding you back. Rather than chasing surface-level growth targets, I encourage you to shift to problem-first thinking. Because while a goal gives you direction, a problem gives you focus. When you start solving the right problems, like poor patient retention, underperforming team systems, or mental burnout, growth becomes targeted, measurable, and sustainable. I also walk through a simple 3-question framework to help you prioritise problems and plan smarter for 2026. This episode is packed with real-world examples and practical strategies you can apply right now. Whether you're looking to improve profitability, marketing clarity, or your own mindset, this approach will help you break the rinse-and-repeat cycle of goal-setting and finally create momentum that lasts. If you're serious about making next year your best yet, this is the episode to start with. No one wants a business coach; however, if you are looking, let's talk.   A business owner I spoke with in early 2024 made an extra $40,000 by following my advice from a 30-minute FREE Zoom call. They were so happy that they bought me a $400 bottle of bourbon. That's a win-win for both of us. Think about it: You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Small Changes that Make A Big Impact As podiatrists, we're often guilty of letting the week run us, rather than intentionally designing our schedules to work for us. Patients pile in, admin creeps into every gap, and before we know it, another week (or year) has flown by in a blur. In this solo episode, I discuss why so many podiatry business owners feel overworked and scattered, and how a few small changes can transform your weekly rhythm, energy, and impact. The main culprits behind a chaotic week? Overcommitment – Saying yes to everything, leaving no time to breathe Lack of boundaries – Letting patients, staff, or admin tasks blur personal time Energy mismatches – Doing low-value work when you're mentally at your best The good news? You don't need a total overhaul. Just a few small tweaks.

As 2025 winds down, now's the perfect time to pause and ask yourself one powerful question: Why did I get into podiatry in the first place? In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I invite you to step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the deeper why behind your work. Because when your podiatry business starts to feel heavy, uninspired, or off-track, it's rarely a patient problem, staffing issue or business problem; it's usually a purpose problem. Before You Launch Into 2026... If you rush into the new year without reconnecting to your purpose, you'll likely carry the same frustrations forward. This December, take 30 minutes to reflect. Don't just set goals; realign them with your why to make your goals more worthwhile.  Because when you do, work feels lighter. Marketing feels easier. Your team works better. And you start building a clinic and a life that actually energises you.

Every podiatrist hits a plateau at some point in their career; when growth stalls, motivation dips, and business feels flat. But a plateau isn't failure; it is feedback. In this short solo episode, I share how to shift your mindset, avoid impulsive changes, and use a plateau as an opportunity to reset, refocus, and rebuild momentum. I also explore three types of plateaus, REVENUE, MOTIVATION & TEAM, and offer strategies to overcome each one. If you're ready to move from "stuck" to strategic, this one's for you.

Paul is a UK-trained musculoskeletal podiatrist now living and practising in Singapore, and over the past three years, he has built an impressive 500,000+ followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Paul proves that you don't need expensive equipment, perfect lighting, or flawless scripts. You just need to start.

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 numbers keep getting bigger.  We know have an international audience flying in.  Why continuous improvement is the show's driving force. 2026 is going to be the best show ever.  The importance of community, collaboration, and diversity in podiatry education.  Additional Show Notes available at the Podiatry Legends Podcast website.  "The speaker lineup is so strong that people genuinely can't choose what to do." - Tony Gavin.

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 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.

If you're a younger podiatrist considering business ownership at some stage in the future, see what happens when you trust your gut and take a calculated leap. That's exactly what Ontario Chiropodist (Podiatrist) and owner of Collective Footcare & Orthotics, Ben Wilkinson, did, moving from employee to clinic owner in just a few short years.  In this episode, Ben shares how he rebranded his business twice in less than a year, embraced innovation with 3D printing, and grew a thriving clinic culture built on positivity and professionalism. "The business name is such a big part of the business, but people shouldn't be afraid to change it." - Ben Wilkinson.  It's a must-listen for any podiatrist thinking about ownership, marketing, or how to grow smarter in today's competitive world.

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.
