344 - Jo Shapter Unknowingly Inspiring Others


Jo Schapter’s journey into the world of podiatry wasn’t a straightforward one. She didn’t begin with a clear path; instead, her story unfolded in ways she never anticipated. From her beginnings in sports science to an unexpected detour into beauty and foot care, Jo's story is a testament to the power of following one's curiosity and passion. 

Jo’s story is a reminder that we don’t always have to have everything figured out. Sometimes, the best journeys begin when we are willing to explore unfamiliar territories. For Jo, this exploration led to podiatry — a profession she discovered by accident, but one she embraced with an unwavering commitment to learn and grow.

Which is Better, Waymo or Uber?


When my wife and I were in Scottsdale, Arizona, the locals urged us to take a WAYMO instead of an Uber back to Tempe, so we did. I enjoyed the experience, and it got me thinking a lot about the noticeable difference between WAYMO and Uber and what we can learn from this from a business perspective. Positives for Waymo 1. They arrive on time and don’t cancel on you. 2. You don’t have to talk to the driver. 3. They stick to the speed limit. 4. On the onboard screen, You can clearly see how far you are from your destination and time. 5. The car was clean 6. No smell of smoke. 7. You didn't have to listen to bad music that the driver likes. 8. Waymo was cheaper than an Uber. 9. It didn’t ask for a tip at the end of the trip. I remember when Uber first started as an alternative to Taxis. Why did we love Ubers? The drivers were polite and helpful with bags, bottles of water, and mints. They made the travel experience pleasurable…. more so than getting a taxi. The other added benefit when Uber started was that you knew what you would be charged from point A to B. In contrast, a Taxi was very dependent on the driver driving the shortest distance, and nothing was more annoying than sitting at a light (that they slowed down for) and seeing the money ticking over on the metre. However, as time passed, the distinction between Uber and taxis became less defined. Benefits of an Uber 1. Waymo do have limited geographical areas 2. A Waymo can only fit two suitcases. Therefore, it's no good if there are three passengers. 3. Getting a good Uber driver can be very helpful if you’re visiting a new city.

Allocate the Right Times for the Right Clients


Every business should pay attention to the times that best suit their specific clients/customers/patients. I encountered a cafe and a wine bar in Scottsdale that created a unique fusion. From 6 a.m. to approximately 2 p.m., they ran the cafe, and at 12 p.m., the wine bar opened. I thought this was a great use of time and space. Coffee after lunch is not as popular as in the morning, so instead of closing at 2pm, the business transitions to suit its customers' needs.

Three Business Lessons from Old Town Scottsdale Arizona


On every trip I have taken since COVID-19, I travel with intent. My goal is to learn something new every day from the people I meet or the businesses I engage with. In this video, I want to share three business lessons. Lesson 1 - From America's #1 Sandwich store (in 2009), the name has been withheld. Lesson 2 - From P.F. Changs: The food was good, but a WOW factor opportunity was lost. Lesson 3 - Capital One Cafe & Verve Coffee: Banking and Coffee Fusion. Such a great idea. I will be writing a more detailed blog article in the next week or so.
