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".
