Description

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.
