Episodes 106 & 107 World Student Episode

On this episode, I talk with a group of podiatry students from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The students studying podiatry right now are the future of our profession, so all of us need to understand how they think and how they view the profession they have chosen to become a part of. 

The full podcast recording is well over 90-minutes, so I decided to break it easier to digest by breaking it into parts one and two.

The questions I asked on part one are:

Q1: What areas of podiatry do you like most and why?

Q2: How important do you think social media is in podiatry?

If you're a current podiatry business owner and you're considering employing a new graduate, I think you'll find their answers very encouraging and also inspiring. 

My podiatry student guests include:

• Sarah Cox - Charles Stuart University (AUS)
• Josh McGill - La Trobe University (AUS)
• Ektaa Vadgama - University of Northhampton (UK)
• Emily Reaney - University of Huddersfield (UK)
• Amarilys Montalvo - Barry University (USA)
• Yona Mizrahi - California School of Podiatric Medicine (USA)
• Diksha Mohapatra - California School of Podiatric Medicine (USA)

Also, Yona and Diksha are the hosts of a successful Instagram page @thedpmjourney and Youtube channel TheDPMJourney. And Ektaa also has a Youtube channel Ektaa Vadgama and I was also a guest on her show. The episode is titled the Tyson Franklin Interview.

Episode 111 - Drs Todd & Leslie Brennan The Footprint Hunt

Drs Todd & Leslie Brennan are podiatrists in Florida, USA and they have written a children's book titled The Footprint Hunt. 

On this episode, we discuss the process they went through to write their first children's book, which I think will be one of many. We open the episode discussing how they met in Podiatry School, their romance and the progression of their podiatry careers.  

If you want to buy a copy of The Footprint Hunt, it is available on Amazon. 

Todd was also my guest on Episode 21: Youtube Legends.

Don't Be The Bossy Seagull (Instead be the focused podiatrist)

Have you ever feed chips to seagulls at the beach and noticed there's always that one loud, Bossy Seagull that spends more time chasing the other seagulls away from the chip that he rarely gets the chip himself? Learn from this and don't be the bossy seagull, instead be the focused podiatrist. Don't focus on what the other podiatrists in your area are doing, just focus on what you have to do. Stay focused on the goal...stay focused on the chip. When I owned my podiatry business in Cairns, there was one podiatrist that spent so much time focusing on what my business was doing instead of focusing on their own podiatry business. In the end, I flourished, and he floundered. Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach https://www.tysonfranklin.com/ 12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot https://www.tysonfranklin.com/Coaching/REBOOT

110 - Colin Power Be Curious, Don't Be A Dick

Colin Power is based in Harvey Bay, Queensland, Australia. After more than 30-years in the podiatry profession, he is still very curious, and he believes curiosity is far more important than passion.

He has had an amazing career both in and out of podiatry, and all this experience has given him a unique approach to how he now treats his patients. In addition to this, he needed to have open-heart surgery at 40-years of age, and this also gave him a new perspective on what is really important. 

Colin is a Queensland University of Technology graduate, and I had the great pleasure of getting to know Colin while I was a student back in 1985/86. 

"Podiatry gives you a life; podiatry doesn’t have to be your life". 

On this episode we discuss:

• Difference between curiosity and passion
• What it's like to burnout 
• How to destroy a podiatry business
• Why COVID will test a lot of current business models
• It's not impossible to the good at both MSK and wound care.
• Having an open heart operation at 40-years of age and how that affects your life.
• Going into a tailspin of self-sabotage
• The difference between a business owner and a freelancer
• How podiatry can financially allow you to do other things outside of podiatry. 
• Implementing Thai Chi into his podiatry business 

"If you don’t design your podiatry career, someone else will do it for you".

• Possibility versus opportunity, there's a big difference. 
• Taking a customisable approach to treating your patients. There's no one way to treat a patient.
• Making podiatry fit your lifestyle
• Being prepared for when shit happens because it's going to happen down the track
• Knowing when to pivot and stop fighting 
• Why you should make your adversary your best mentor, always ask yourself:
  • Why are they thinking a certain way?
  • How did they come to that conclusion?

Final Tip

Create value for your patients in every conversation, don't complain about your problems; that's being a dick. 

"If your wife left you and your dog died, write a country song, don't dump your problems on your patients". 

If you're not passionate about podiatry, it does not mean you’re a failure, as long as you stay curious. If you're feeling imposter syndrome you have two choices, you can choose to fix it, or you can decide to run with it and let it drive you to become better.
