This episode tracks a personal journey of growth and discovery and dives into the strategic decisions that define a career path. You can connect with Lewis on...

320 - The Story of the Mexican Fisherman

The Mexican Fisherman Story contains a very important life lesson about productivity, creating a lifestyle by design, the sometimes-pointless pursuit of more, and asking ourselves WHY we do what we do each day and whether it aligns with our end goal. In this episode, I share my understanding of this story and why it is important to know if your employees are fishermen or bankers. I also explain why a good friend of mine often refers to me as the Mexican Fisherman.

318 - Location and Patient Discrimination with Jonathan Small
Podiatry Legends Podcast

316 - (Part 2) Group Perspective On Good Bad and Difficult Patients
Podiatry Legends Podcast
Do you believe there are good, bad and difficult patients, and possibly many variations in between?

info_outlineDr Howard Dananberg practised in Manchester, New Hampshire until 2012 when he retired. He has received numerous awards for his work on sagittal plane biomechanics, and he redefined how we viewed pronation.
Throughout his career, Dr Dananberg never stopped questioning what he saw with his patients and through his own funded research, he developed the Kinetic Wedge used by Brooks Footwear, and also the VASYLI Dananberg orthotics.
On this episode we discuss:
- The early ’80s and in-shoe pressure analysis and how it made him start questioning the status quo and what we believed to be right on podiatric biomechanics
- Private practice and funding his research
- The moment he started realising that headaches and back pain may be related to gait. "I don’t think anyone is thinking about this".
- How the FF drives the RF
- Metatarsus Limitus, not Hallux Limitus
- Pronation Paradyime shift
- Problems with traditional orthotic design
- His new company - www.insolia.com
- Walking is about pulling, not pushing. The body is pulled forward; therefore, the term 'propulsion phase' is wrong.
- Saggital Plane Motion. If you only watch someone walk down a hallway, you miss so much.
Final Tip (38:40 - 39)
When you say 'aha' I’ve got it, you’ve just shut your mind off to all the other possibilities that might exist down the road.
But if you say 'oooh', that's one way, you’ve opened your mind up to the many other possibilities and things to be discovered over time.
