408 - Life Moves Pretty Fast with Dr Jae Grymes


In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Jae Grymes from Delaware, USA, a dual board-certified dental anaesthesiologist and paediatric dentist. While her clinical world is dentistry, you’ll quickly realise how similar our professions are.

We dive into the realities of healthcare today, debt, corporate pressure, perfectionism, burnout, and the silent struggles many clinicians face but rarely talk about openly. Jae shares her personal journey through grief, professional dissatisfaction, and rebuilding her mindset from the ground up.

We discuss why “everything is hard until it’s easy,” how skills compound over time, and why you should never apologise for your fees when you’ve earned your expertise.

But we also talk about the privilege of being in healthcare and the importance of balance.

One of the big themes in this episode is comparison. Comparing your clinic, your income, your house, your car, and how dangerous that can be when you don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors.

We finish with a powerful reminder from Ferris Bueller:
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it".

This episode isn’t about marketing tactics or business systems. It’s about perspective.

If you’re building a business and want it to support your life instead of consume it, maybe it’s time for a different conversation. 

I work exclusively with ambitious podiatrists who are serious about making a change in their businesses. https://www.tysonfranklin.com/

Why Relationships Matter More than Marketing


Building a successful podiatry clinic isn’t about gimmicks, discounts, or chasing the latest marketing trend. In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I’m joined by UK podiatrist Jonathan Shearer, who shares how networking and relationships became the foundation of his clinic’s long-term growth. We talk about moving from the NHS into private practice, why getting out of the clinic matters more than most podiatrists realise, and how genuine connections with local businesses, sports clubs, and health professionals compound over time. This is networking without the awkward sales pitch. If you’re a podiatrist or health professional who wants sustainable growth, stronger referrals, and a business that feels aligned with who you are, this episode will challenge how you think about marketing and community presence.

Making Life Decisions at the Beach Bar


Some of the most important decisions in podiatry aren’t made in the clinic. They’re made when you step away, slow down, and finally give yourself space to think.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alan and Sharon Cawthorne from the Podiatry & Gait Clinic in the UK. We talk about career pivots, burnout, pricing confidence, investing in technology, and why clarity often shows up when you’re not surrounded by appointments and admin.

This conversation goes beyond podiatry. It’s about building a business that supports your life, not consumes it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning what’s next, this episode will resonate.

403 - Life Decisions Made at the Beach Bar with Alan and Sharon Cawthorne


Alan and Sharon Cawthorne from Podiatry & Gait Clinic in Middlesbrough, UK, didn’t plan their biggest career decisions sitting up late at night, stressing about life. They happened on holidays, in a relaxed environment, often at a beach bar.

In this episode, we talk about career change, pricing confidence, investing in technology, reducing burnout, and designing a clinic and lifestyle that feels sustainable long-term.

This is a conversation about perspective. About stepping back to move forward. And about why sometimes the most valuable thinking happens when you’re not trying to be productive at all.

If you're feeling a little stuck in your career, unsure of what direction you should head next, this is the episode you need to listen to again and again.

If you’re at a point in your career where you’re thinking about systems, scalability, margins, or simply running a calmer, more profitable clinic, you’re welcome to reach out to me. There’s no pressure, no pitch.

402 - Ten Tips to Get More Out of Conferences in 2026


In this bonus episode, I share ten practical ways to get more out of conferences and professional events in 2026. With so many events coming up, this is the perfect time to stop treating conferences as something you squeeze in between clinic days and start using them as genuine growth opportunities.

I cover everything from how to prepare properly before an event, why being fully present matters more than taking endless notes, and how relationships formed at conferences often deliver more long-term value than the presentations themselves. We also look at why leaving early, working during sessions, or arriving exhausted quietly sabotages the return on your investment.

If you want conferences to actually improve your skills, your business, and your confidence, this episode will help you rethink how you attend, how you learn, and how you apply what you take away.

Sometimes a small shift in approach makes a massive difference.

Is 3D Printing the Future of Orthotics in Podiatry Clinics?


In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I’m joined by returning guest Kieran Carew from www.foothealthorthotics.co.uk FIT4, to explore one of the biggest shifts currently happening in podiatry: 3D printed orthotics.

Kieran was last on the podcast back in 2020, discussing pathology-based orthotics. Fast forward to today, and he’s now deeply involved in developing, testing, and installing 3D printing systems in podiatry clinics worldwide.

This episode is not a sales pitch for technology. It’s a practical, honest discussion about what’s working, what hasn’t, and what podiatrists need to understand before adopting new systems.

Check My Upcoming Events 

From Engineering to Clinic Reality

Kieran shares how his background in mechanical engineering and sports science shaped the early development of in-clinic 3D printing. One of the biggest lessons? Technology alone isn’t enough.

Early systems required excessive manual calibration and technical input, creating frustration for busy clinicians. The breakthrough came when podiatrists' feedback directly shaped the next generation of printers, resulting in plug-and-play systems designed specifically for clinical environments.

Control, Cost, and Turnaround

One of the strongest themes in this episode is control.

Kieran explains how clinics are reducing orthotic production costs by lowering lab fees from £120–£150 to as little as £10–£12 per pair when designing and printing in-house. Even when clinics outsource the CAD design, the cost savings and turnaround times remain significant.

This isn’t just about saving money. Faster turnaround means better patient experiences and fewer delays in care.

CAD Design and Education Matter

A recurring message throughout the conversation is that education is essential. 3D printing is most effective when podiatrists understand biomechanics, design principles, and material behaviour.

Kieran explains how CAD software gives clinicians full control over orthotic design, including infill density, flexibility, and targeted accommodation based on pressure data. This level of precision simply isn’t possible with traditional workflows.

The Marketing Advantage of Visibility

One of my favourite parts of the discussion is how 3D printers can become a visual asset in a clinic.

Placed in reception areas, printers spark curiosity, conversations, and social media sharing. Clinics using visible technology are seeing increased patient engagement and higher orthotic uptake, simply because patients can see innovation happening in real time.

I have a coaching client who installed a 3D printer in their reception area, which immediately generated curiosity, more orthotic conversations, and an increase in monthly orthotic numbers. 

Is This the Future of Podiatry?

We also talk about the broader industry shift.

Rising lab costs, staff shortages, and clinic pressure are pushing podiatrists to rethink traditional models. 3D printing isn’t a trend; it’s part of a broader shift toward efficiency, ownership, and smarter systems.

Considering Your Next Step

If this episode has you thinking differently about orthotics, systems, or clinic workflows, you’re not alone. These are the exact conversations I have with podiatrists through my coaching and mentoring work.

401 - Is 3D Printing the Future of Orthotics in Podiatry Clinics with Kieran Carew


3D printing is no longer a future concept in podiatry. It’s already reshaping how clinics think about orthotics, turnaround times, and control over their systems.

In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I’m joined by returning guest Kieran Carew from Foot Health Orthotics FIT4U, to unpack what’s really happening with 3D printed orthotics inside podiatry clinics.

Kieran brings a unique perspective, combining decades of experience in orthotics with a background in engineering and biomechanics.

We explore the practical realities of bringing 3D printing in-house, including setup, training, calibration, CAD design, and the importance of education. This isn’t a glossy tech discussion. It’s an honest look at what works, what doesn’t, and why technology without understanding can quickly become a headache.

We also dive into the business side of the conversation. Reduced lab fees, faster turnaround times, improved margins, and greater control over the orthotic process are all on the table. We discuss why more clinics are rethinking their reliance on traditional lab and how visible technology in a clinic can even influence patient engagement and orthotic uptake.

If you’ve been curious about 3D printing but unsure where it fits in your clinic, this episode will give you clarity.

If you’re at a point where you’re thinking about systems, scalability, margins, or simply running a calmer, more profitable clinic, you’re welcome to reach out and talk with me. There’s no pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if coaching is the right next step for you.

400 - PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists

This episode also coincides with the show's seventh birthday, making it the perfect time to pause, reflect, and tackle a topic that quietly influences every podiatrist’s career yet is rarely discussed openly: money.

Why Talk About Money on a Podiatry Podcast?

Money can feel like an uncomfortable topic in healthcare. Many of us entered podiatry to help people, not to talk about finances, lending, or wealth creation. Yet financial stress is one of the most significant contributors to burnout, career dissatisfaction, and poor life balance.

Check My Upcoming Events 

That’s why I invited Andrew Jacobs onto the podcast. Andrew is an osteopath-turned-mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. He understands how health practitioners think because he is one. He’s also the author of two books, Healthy Money and Paid Off, both written specifically for health professionals who were never taught financial literacy at university.

This conversation isn’t about chasing flashy lifestyles or becoming obsessed with money. It’s about understanding how money works, so it stops working against you.

400- PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists with Andrew Jacobs


To celebrate this 400th episode, I’m joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners.

In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction.

Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle.

We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don’t know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time.

This conversation isn’t about chasing wealth. It’s about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.
