053 - Dave Cashley Making Sense of Neuroma Research

Dave Cashley owns Dundee Podiatry Clinic in Scottland. He has a special interest in lower extremity manipulation, and this interest has led Dave to publish and lecture extensively on this particular topic. He is now studying toward a PhD. 

His research is based around the treatment of neuromas, doing a parallel study of manual therapy versus steroid injections.

The Best Thing About Neuromas

You don’t need any fancy kit to diagnose or treat it, other professionals stay away from it, and no one outside of podiatry gets good results. 

It's a common, debilitating problem, and we can make a big difference in people’s lives. 

On this episode we discuss:

• Other treatment modalities and why Dave leaned towards manual therapy
• Clinical biases - Are the results you’re getting in the clinic a fluke or the real deal.
• Biased questioning to patients
• Dave explains how research questions differ from what we would typically ask in a clinical situation
• Minimal patient contact during research
• How manual therapy became an interest and his connection with other podiatrists in this area
• Why podiatrists should be making a decent income regardless of their area of interest. "If you have a paupers mentality, you will make a paupers wage". 
• If you’re struggling to make money, you need to get a mentor, and you need to change your mindset. "To find your destination you've got to get on the right bus". 

Final Tip:

If you do not love life as a podiatrist have a look around and make some changes. Podiatry is one of the greatest professions on the planet.

052 - Mary-Ellen Redmayne 2019 Queensland Young Businesswoman of The Year

Mary-Ellen is a mother, a wife and a businesswoman. She owns the Foot Stop Podiatry Services – a mobile podiatry business creating waves in Australia. She was named 2019 Queensland Young Businesswoman of the Year – and is not yet 30 years old.

She has accomplished more than the average and sharing with us today her steps to sustainable success and rapid growth.

How To Build A Business (& A Life)

1. Being confident enough to be YOURSELF: Success comes when you start being yourself and not what you think you should be. You will also better aligned with your referrers. 
2. Building a strong referral base: Starts with building a relationship first, and meetings with your referrers should take priority over your patients. 
3. Growing a like-minded team: Be upfront with your expectations right from the start. If they are not like-minded, they will not last.

"You can teach clinical skills, but you cannot teach personality". 

We also discuss:

• The benefits of entering business awards
• Viewing the big picture of your business
• work does sometimes take priority over your family
• Saying YES to opportunities when they arise

Final Tip:

We're all on the same journey, and none of us has it all figured out. And, it's important to redefine what success is, it's not always financial.

051 - Ian Griffiths & Craig Payne Pod Chat Live Braintrust

Ian Griffiths is a London based Podiatrist, and Craig Payne resides in Melbourne, Australia. In October 2017, while Craig was visiting Ian in the UK, he had an idea, "let's do a Facebook LIVE video and see what happens". To their surprise, it was well-received and so began Pod Chat LIVE.

Initially, it was a weekly show, but due to time restraints, it is now produced monthly. Still, with over 60 hours of video recordings, there's sure to be something interesting for every podiatrist.

On this episode we discuss:

• The reason for starting Pod Chat Live in October 2017
• How people consume information is changing and why we need to change with the times
• Why the show went from video on Facebook and YouTube to a podcast show
• It's a FREE resource - "I’m sorry if you do not like the show, would you like your money back". 
• Positive reinforcement 
• Fear of public speaking
• Craig Payne's - Podiatry CPD Academy 
• Ian Griffiths - Sports Podiatry Info
• Niching works 

Final Tip

Ian - Listen to Pod Chat Live, it’s never been easier to have information at your fingertips. 

Craig - Don’t drink the Kool-Aid or jump on the bandwagons that other people are falling for. 

"Be an excellent critical thinker with a certain level of healthy scepticism".

048 - Rapid Business Expansion with Dr Patrick McEneaney

If you want to scale and grow your podiatry business, you've got to make decisions fast, and Dr Patrick McEneaney has done just that. He has expanded his Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists podiatry business from one to five in just a few short years, but as he explains, opportunities are all around us you've just got to be prepared to jump on them when they arise.  

If you sit and stare at something for too long, you can make it look both good and bad. 

Dr Patrick McEneaney is not just business-focused either; he also commits a lot of time giving back to the podiatry profession. He is currently the President of the Illinois Podiatry Medical Association. 

On this episode we discuss:

• How he started his first podiatry business, and how the next four came after that. 
• Good timing and good marketing 
• Why putting on local seminars, lunch and learns and breakfasts help increase his referrals 
• Why you've got to tell people what you do in your practice. 
• There's no such thing as a bad conversation; you can always learn something from everyone you meet.
• Sharing your failures with others
• Why he meets every year with other podiatrists for mastermind meetings.
• The benefits of making quick decisions
• Why you shouldn't expand too early and overextend yourself.

Two questions he asks his team members:

1. What's your favourite thing you like about working here?
2. What else do you need from me to make your work easier?

Final Business Tips:

1. Find good people to work with you
2. Talk with people who have already been through the experience and don't try to rewrite the book if you don't have to.
3. Hire slowly and fire quickly: Don't keep bad employees longer than you need to.

Developing Passion & Culture in Your Podiatry Business with Drs Peyman & Viedra Elison

When it comes to running a successful podiatry business, it is vital to find your passion, surround yourself with the right team, and develop a mindset of success by associating with like-minded positive people. 

Drs Peyman & Viedra Elison are a dynamic podiatry team that own Fixing Feet Institute in Surprise, Arizona. I recently spent three days with them in Tempe, Arizona at Business Black Ops, which is a high-level mastermind group. 

I've wanted to get them on the Podiatry Legends Podcast for some time, so while I had them together in Arizona, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to capture their thought of podiatry business success. 

On this episode we discuss:

• Choosing to live in different states to pursue their podiatry careers. 
• Working on an Indian Reservation in Arizona and how this has shaped Viedra's career and passion for diabetes and limb salvage.
• Peyman's passion for paediatric biomechanics, foot deformities and peripheral nerve surgery.
• Associates and culture problems - "Some people are just not trainable". 
• Why continuing medical education is essential, but if you want to grow a successful business and life, you've got to attend business and marketing events. 
• You need a positive mindset to bring it all together. 

Viedra's Tip:

In the early part of your career, focus on your education, not your location. You need to get out of your comfort zone. 

Peyman's Tip:

Find a niche market, something you enjoy and hone in on it. And if you feel you're in a rut, start hanging out with new people.

044 - Podiatry Success Is A Mindset with Jonathan Small

Jonathan Small is a UK based podiatrist and also a previous guest, Ep 006 - Work Smarter, Not Harder. I was privileged to watch Jonathan give an excellent presentation on MINDSET at the OSGO Foot & Ankle Show in Liverpool and I immediately thought, WOW, we need to talk about mindset on this podcast.  

Jonathon quickly points out that you can achieve whatever you want to achieve but you have to be prepared to put in the work, and this needs to be backed up by a positive attitude. 

On this episode we discuss: 

• Why Jonathon decided not to be a sheep
• Making a 'Positive Mindset' the norm and not the niche
• Many podiatrists lack mentorship and confidence in their early career, which can lead to the wrong mindset
• Why it's important for the profession to prosper so it looks appealing to the next generation of kids. 

"Positive changes happen in your career and personal life when you’re mindset changes". 

• Why some podiatrist use excuses to create a mindset of poverty.
• Why it's easy to find evidence to back up a negative mindset if that's what you're searching for.
• You need to get out of your own way. 
• Enjoying the growth mindset journey and don't compare yourself to others. What you see if just a 'snapshot' of their success. 
• Working through pain-points in your career. 
• Team mindset will never outgrow the mindset of the business owner 

Where To Start

First, you need to reach out to others who will challenge you and celebrate your small wins and achievements.

Next, attend conferences and find groups of people that have similar interests to you. 

Attend small group workshops as negative people tend to stay away from these because there's nowhere to hide.

In 1995, Dr Alan Sherman, DPM founded the first online community and website for podiatry, Podiatry Online, which grew to become the largest internet community for podiatrists in the world. At its peak, two-thirds of licensed podiatrists in the United States were members. 

Podiatry Online was acquired by Moore Medical, in 2000, and Alan was employed along with partner Michael Shore, DPM as a consultant to continue running the site. Moore Medical was eventually acquired by McKesson in 2002. 

After this aquisition Drs. Sherman and Shore were let go by the compnay and they went on to found PRESENT e-Learning Systems, a Medical Education and Communications Company in 2004,  which has grown to be the largest provider of online CME education services for podiatrists.

038 - Dr Tea Nguyen Life Changes & Practice Ownership

Dr Tea Nguyen owns Pacific Point Podiatry in Santa Cruz, California and has a special interest in diabetic limb salvage. She opened her solo practice in August 2018, which has a revived her love for podiatry.

She never planned on owning her own podiatry business, but after falling pregnant her employer didn't respond favourably to her needs, so after having her daughter Vylet she was given very little choice but to work for herself. 

'Having a child is not like having a pet. There's a lot more forward-thinking required". 

 

On this episode we discuss:

 

• How she fell into her practice
• Positive changes after having a child 
• Her passion for diabetic foot care
• Seeing a need and filling a gap in the market
• Being an anti-micromanager: you've got to let people make decisions and learn from their errors. 

"What do you want to learn? If it does not come to you, you need to go and search for the information yourself". 

 

BIGGEST surprise having own business

 

Tea was surprised by how much she enjoys having her own practice and how happy it has made her. As an employee, she struggled to get out of bed in the morning, but as a business owner, this is no longer the case. 

 

 

"I only know what I know and I don’t know what I don’t know, so I never have a problem telling a patient to get a second opinion". 

 

Final Tip

 

If you’re in a situation that is not in your favour, you’ll find renewed purpose by opening your own business.

037 - Dr Howard Dananberg Pronation Paradigm Shift

Dr Howard Dananberg practised in Manchester, New Hampshire until 2012 when he retired. He has received numerous awards for his work on sagittal plane biomechanics, and he redefined how we viewed pronation. 

Throughout his career, Dr Dananberg never stopped questioning what he saw with his patients and through his own funded research, he developed the Kinetic Wedge used by Brooks Footwear, and also the VASYLI Dananberg orthotics. 

On this episode we discuss:

• The early ’80s and in-shoe pressure analysis and how it made him start questioning the status quo and what we believed to be right on podiatric biomechanics 
• Private practice and funding his research 
• The moment he started realising that headaches and back pain may be related to gait. "I don’t think anyone is thinking about this". 
• How the FF drives the RF
• Metatarsus Limitus, not Hallux Limitus 
• Pronation Paradyime shift
• Problems with traditional orthotic design
• His new company - www.insolia.com
• Walking is about pulling, not pushing. The body is pulled forward; therefore, the term 'propulsion phase' is wrong. 
• Saggital Plane Motion. If you only watch someone walk down a hallway, you miss so much. 

 

 

Final Tip (38:40 - 39)

When you say 'aha' I’ve got it, you’ve just shut your mind off to all the other possibilities that might exist down the road.

But if you say 'oooh', that's one way, you’ve opened your mind up to the many other possibilities and things to be discovered over time.

036 - Sean Pincus Diagnosis Dictates Management

Sean Pincus is from Cape Town, South Africa, and he has spent the past thirty years honing his skills in the area of sports podiatry and orthotic design.

Sean understands why communication and psychology are so crucial to the management and treatment outcomes of his patient's foot and lower limb problems. 

On this episode we discuss:

• Why he was initially disillusioned with podiatry until he understood what it is we do for people
• Changes in orthotic design over the past thirty years and the changes in biomechanical theory 
• How do you get a patient to take control and responsibility of their foot problem? It’s not your fault; it’s their fault.
• Psychology of handling patients

"LOOK BEYOND THE FOOT there’s a squishy thing above it called a person". 

• What to say to who, when and how. It all comes down to experience
• The importance of new graduates having an excellent mentoring system and learning how to ask the right questions 
• University only teaches generalised questioning. It's not good enough. 
• Digging Deeper: Learn to follow a pathway of questioning to get to the information quickly
• The benefits of asking the same question twice. You often get different answers. 
• You will gather even more information if you read your notes back to the patient. Then start your examination. 
• Why jumping to early diagnosis conclusions is dangerous
• Is what your being told match watch you’re finding in your examination? 

"Diagnoses Dictates Management"

If you rush through the consultation too fast, without asking the right questions, you will also rush to a diagnosis. Rushed consults may lead to treatment failure, which results in unhappy patients and potential social media negative reviews. 

You often have to get these patients back for further assessment, so in the end, you're spending time with them that you should have done from the start.
