394 - The Mindset Every Successful Podiatrist Needs in 2026 with Dr Peter Wishnie

This week I’m joined by long-time friend, podiatrist, and business coach Dr Peter Wishnie. Peter and I have known each other for more than a decade, and although we technically work in the same space, we’ve never competed. Instead, we’ve worked alongside each other with an abundance mindset because when you understand your strengths, your ideal clients, and your purpose, there’s more than enough opportunity to go around.

In this episode, we unpack the massive difference between scarcity and abundance, and why so many podiatrists unknowingly sabotage themselves with old beliefs about money, competition, and “not being good enough.”

We also dive into the concept of the robot brain, and how much of your day is run on autopilot without you realising it. Innovation never comes from the robot, so if you want next year to be different, you’ll need to consciously take back control of your thinking.

We also explore confidence, delegation, public speaking, personalised marketing, and the danger of generic “mass coaching” funnels that don’t understand podiatry.

Peter shares insights from 30+ years in practice, plus a sneak peek at his upcoming book, It’s Not Your Fault (Unless It Is). If you’re ready to think differently about how you practise, lead, and grow, this episode is for you.

If you want to connect with Peter, his email is drwishnie@gmail.com, and you can also find him on LinkedIn at Coach Peter Wishnie and on Instagram: @coach_peterwishnie.

The Global Rise of the Foot and Ankle Show and What to Expect in 2026

The Foot & Ankle Show has become one of the most energetic, community-driven podiatry conferences in the world, and in this episode, I speak with founder Tony Gavin about how the show has grown, adapted, and evolved into a global event.

Tony walks through the behind-the-scenes decisions, the innovations born during COVID, and why the 2026 show is shaping up to be the biggest yet.

We also explore what makes the Foot & Ankle Show so different: the single-room setup, the buzzing trade floor, the diversity of speakers, and the incredible culture of collaboration. If you’ve ever considered combining professional development with a UK holiday, this is the event to anchor it around.

What Seattle Businesses Get Right

Seattle is an incredible city, but what really stood out to me on my recent trip wasn’t just the food or the waterfront views; it was the way certain businesses stopped people in their tracks.

In this video, I walk you through a handful of standout operators at Pike Place Market: Beecher’s Handmade Cheese with its behind-the-glass cheese-making theatre, the iconic Pike Place Fish Market and their famous flying fish, Bonnie B’s pickled preserves with irresistible free samples, and Hellenika Cultured Creamery, where Greek yoghurt and ice-cream-style creations churn right in front of you.

These businesses don’t just sell a product; they show the process, and because of that, customers line up, pull out their phones, and share the experience with the world.

And here’s where it becomes relevant for all small-business owners: every one of these businesses has built a visual hook that sparks curiosity, conversation, and free marketing.

392 - The 25-Hour Consulting Week Creates Healthy Podiatrists with Daniel Monteleone

Healthy Practitioner, Healthy Business: The Future of Podiatry Practice

Running a podiatry clinic shouldn’t come at the expense of your health, happiness, or home life. Yet far too many practitioners are running on empty, juggling long hours, heavy patient loads, and the constant pressure to keep their businesses afloat.

In this week’s episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I spoke with Daniel Monteleone, the owner of Proactive Health and Movement in Geelong, Victoria. Daniel’s outlook is refreshing: he’s built a business model that values wellbeing just as much as revenue, proving that a healthy practitioner really does lead to a healthy business.

Check Out My Upcoming Events 

Listen in as we unpack Daniel’s 25-hour consulting week, his philosophy on mentoring and trust, and how prioritising practitioner health first has fuelled nine years of business growth and team loyalty.

This episode is a must-hear for any podiatrist ready to step off the treadmill and design a practice that supports their life, not drains it.

How to Protect Your Reputation and Business During a Legal Crisi with Ta...

This week, we explore how divorce, drink-driving offences, and defamation can cripple a career or clinic if not handled properly, and why most people react far too late. My guest, Tad Nelson, a criminal defence lawyer and “Super Lawyer” from Galveston County, Texas, who brings more than three decades of courtroom experience, plus a master’s degree in forensic toxicology, to our conversation.

Tad has seen the best and worst of human behaviour, and his insights apply directly to business owners navigating legal, personal, or reputation challenges.

Tad explains the importance of acting fast, staying calm, and getting professional help, both legal and PR,  before the fallout damages your brand, income, or family. He also shares his philosophy that a strong reputation isn’t repaired after a crisis; it’s built long before one happens.

This episode is packed with practical advice on staying ahead of legal problems, managing perception in the age of social media, and leading with integrity under pressure. Whether you’re a podiatrist, clinic owner, or entrepreneur in any field, you’ll take away lessons on communication, humility, and protecting the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

WARNING: Ulanzi MA38 Beware of Cheap Inferior Copies

WARNING: Fake Ulanzi MA38 phone stands are being sold on Facebook and other social media platforms right now. Please don’t get caught like I did. I ordered what was advertised as the genuine Ulanzi MA38 Mobile Phone Photography Stand, but what arrived was a flimsy, unbranded knockoff that bore no resemblance to the product in the promotional videos.
