On this episode we discuss:

 - Being a second-generation podiatrist and this year his daughter has begun her podiatry training

- The defining moment that he fell in love with the high-risk foot.

- Treating patients in the absence of pain, both surgically and mechanically is something else. 

- Making career choices based on passion, not money

- Why podcasting is a great educational medium.

- People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care

What is it that we do as podiatrists?

Where helping people move through the world a little better, and that is a fantastic gift to give people.
