027 - Ben Boshell The Heel Pain Expert

Ben Boshell is from the UK and works at Hatt Health & Movement Clinic, and today we talk about finding your passion within the podiatry profession and that it's okay if your thinking changes over time.

 

Initially, Ben Boshell was going to be a Podiatric Surgeon, there was no question about this, but after completing his Masters in Podiatric Surgery, he decided to head down a different path. 

 

On this episode we discuss:

• Why he decided to make a pivot in his podiatry career path. 
• The benefits of doing his Masters in Podiatric Surgery 
• His podcast The Heel Pain Expert 
• His book The Plantar Fasciitis Bible
• Becoming a personal brand and future proofing yourself 
• Contributing back to the profession 
• The benefits of being a well-rounded podiatrist
• The power of maintaining a creative mindset
• Why you need to follow what interests you the most in podiatry, but it's okay if your passions change
• The benefits of CPD

Final Tip:

 

If you feel you're in a rut with your career, take a step back and ask, what am I most passionate about? When you have the answer, you'll know which direction you should head and what changes you need to make.
