294 - Saving Limbs Lives in India with Dr Sanjay Sharma

In this episode, I  reconnect with Dr. Sanjay Sharma, a pioneering podiatrist revolutionising podiatry and foot care in India. Since appearing on the show three years ago, in 2020, Episode 103, Dr Sharma has established Foot Secure, a network of clinics providing complete podiatry services across Bangalore.

Sanjay and his team treat up to 200 patients at their five locations daily, focusing on diabetes-related foot complications. Through early detection and intervention, Foot Secure has reduced below-knee and bony amputation rates to just 2.7%, a dramatic decrease from India's average of 19% across all hospitals.

293 - Mark Caldwell from FEETOLOGY

Mark Caldwell is the owner of Feetology in Victoria Point, Brisbane, and over the past twenty-plus years, he has honed his skills as a podiatrist, business owner and mentor.

Mark's first job had no mentoring, which is why he places so much emphasis on this aspect of his business and encourages other business owners to do the same. If we want younger podiatrists to stay in the profession, we all must try to mentor them properly.  

In this episode, we discuss:

• How your interest in podiatry changes as you gain experience and see more varied patients.
• The importance of choosing the right employer, especially when you first graduate. 
• Why he wanted to work for himself and control his destiny. 
• Purchasing an existing podiatry business and building it from a two-day-a-week practice to employing multiple podiatrists.
• Focusing his time and energy on building Feetology and not taking a second job to supplement his income in the early days.  
• How Mark and his wife Ariella decided on the name Feetology. 
• Growing as an employer takes time. 
• His Unofficial Pracsuite Users Group on Facebook (currently 160 members).

Final Tip

Keep challenging yourself as you go through your career, and keep looking for new things to do and to learn. It will keep you fresh and excited about our profession.

292 - The Name Tag Guy Scott Ginsberg

Scott Ginsberg holds the world record for wearing a name tag longer than anyone else, and he was so committed to the record he got his name tag tattooed to his chest...that's commitment. In his spare time, he has also written 50 books and 11 music albums. 

I was fortunate to meet Scott in 2009 in Cairns when he was touring Australia. When we met, he gave me his business card, which read, "Hello, my name is Scott's Friend", and on the back, it has ten philosophies he lives by.

It was so unique I still have it in my possession today, and I read it often.

Protecting Your Reputation - Lessons Learnt From A Shit Burger Experience

I recently had a fantastic week on the P&O Pacific Encounter; however, during our cruise, I also had the displeasure of eating one of the worst burgers I have ever eaten at Luke Mangan's Burger Bar. It was dry and tasteless, and others warned me not to order it...and in hindsight, I should have listened. Go for the pizza, they said. This got me thinking about Luke Mangan's reputation. Until then, I knew he was a renowned chef with an excellent reputation, but after eating a burger with his name on it, there was no way I would eat at the other restaurant onboard, Luke's Bar & Grill. If you're going to put your name on something, you must have systems in place to maintain a certain standard because it's your reputation on the line. This applies to every business. If you have a team, you must know that everything they do represents you and your business. If they mess up, it's on you, not them. They can quickly move on if things go sour; however, you must remain to pick up the pieces. This is why all business owners must stay close to their team and never assume everything is running perfectly.
