216 - Dr Doug Richie Before the Richie Brace

When you hear the name Dr Doug Richie, you may immediately think of the Richie Brace, but have you ever stopped to consider his podiatric career before the Richie Brace and why he chose podiatry in the first place?

In this episode, Dr Doug Richie shares his career milestones and successes and his perspective and observations of the evolution of podiatry over the past 40 years.

We also deep dive into:

• His interest in sports medicine and biomechanics.
• Coping with other aspects of podiatry, such as routine foot care.
• Being inspired by other colleagues, such as Richard Blake.
• Having an entrepreneurial spirit at college and wanting to change people’s lives.
• Not every entrepreneurial idea was a success; there were some failures before and after the Richie Brace.
• FAST BRACE – Foot & Ankle System Technology was the original name of the Richie Brace.
• His Book: Pathomechanics of Common Foot Disorders, available from https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-54201-6
• Developing business partnerships can speed up your success.
• The value of intellectual property.
• Timing is really important when you have an idea.

You Need Funding & Partnerships

You can have the best invention in the world, but if you don’t have the capital behind you to market it, it’s going to fail because it’s all about marketing.  

If you can, seek a partner with like-minded goals and a long-term strategy where you can work together.

If you have any questions for Dr Doug Richie, you can email him at drichiejr@aol.com or connect with him on LinkedIn.

Don't Wait for Conditions to Be Perfect

It could be a long wait if you wait for conditions to be perfect before you take action. Saying you want to get fit before joining the gym and lose weight before running is not the best approach. I've had podiatrists tell me that they want to engage my services as a Podiatry Business Coach; however, they want to wait until their business is doing better. You need to TAKE ACTION. 80% and out the door is better than 100% and in the draw.

215 - MEET EMILY BRAIDWOOD Insole Innovation Blending Function & Fashion

Turn Heads; Not Ankles is the mantra behind Emily Braidwood, an off-the-shelf orthotic line designed to allow women to wear the shoes they want to wear so they can walk all day, dance all night and exercise for life.

The Emily Braidwood brand was created and developed over several years by entrepreneurial sports podiatrist Emily Smith.

They are not a replacement for custom-made orthotics but more of a precursor. Emily was also on Episode 212: Be Willing to Experiment.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The historical development of the original idea.
• Why it’s not a replacement for custom-made orthotics.
• The process of the concept to prototype, and then getting it on the market.
• Filling a gap in the market.

Suppose you have an idea and you feel you can solve an ongoing problem. In that case, you should consider developing it further yourself, with a group of podiatrists or partnering up with someone who has done something similar.

If you have any questions, you can connect with Emily at emily@emilybraidwood.com.

Ep 214 (UNCUT): What to Look for When Buying A Clinic with Dr Patrick Mc...

What should you look for when purchasing an existing podiatry business?

Dr Patrick McEneaney is the owner of Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists, and over 2.5 years, he has grown his podiatry empire from three (3) clinics to fifteen (15) clinics. In this episode, he shares lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid. 

Patrick was also my guest on Ep 048: Rapid Business Expansion (Nov. 2019), Ep 074: 8 Business Tips During COVID-19 (April 2020) and Ep 108: You Cannot Manage Ten Clinics Yourself. 

We covered the following topics:

• Create a business model for podiatrists that want to sell and for others that want to sell and stay on. 
• The benefits of a gradual transition of new ownership.
• Developing a purchasing checklist, which grows with each purchase. 
  • Overheads and expenses.
  • Looking at existing competitors.
  • The size of the town and the number of existing podiatrists.
  • Demographics of the neighbourhood.
  • What services do you have that can easily be introduced will quickly add to the revenue and profits. 
  • Opportunities: By adding the products and services, you can potentially add a 50% increase in revenue almost overnight. 
• Before your first purchase, you need to learn the business numbers, what they mean and how they can work best for you. 
• What is EBITA? Refers to a company's earnings before interest, tax, and amortisation expenses are deducted. It is used to measure the profitability and efficiency of a business. 
• The benefits of investing in what you know and what you can control. This is why Patrick doesn't invest in restaurants. 
• Developing processes to attract good podiatrists and other team members. 

"You can teach anybody to do anything but they must have the right attitude. You can't teach hard work and drive."

• His best marketing tips. 
• Why developing relationships is better than Google Ads.
