Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

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...

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.

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

Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners.

Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending...

In this final episode of my four-part December solo series, I share why traditional goal-setting often fails podiatry business owners and what to do instead. If you’ve ever set goals in December only to forget them by February, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t always motivation; it’s that most goals are too vague, too shallow, or completely disconnected from the real issues holding you back. Rather than chasing surface-level growth targets, I encourage you to shift to problem-first thinking. Because while a goal gives you direction, a problem gives you focus. When you start solving...

Small Changes that Make A Big Impact As podiatrists, we’re often guilty of letting the week run us, rather than intentionally designing our schedules to work for us. Patients pile in, admin creeps into every gap, and before we know it, another week (or year) has flown by in a blur. In this solo episode, I discuss why so many podiatry business owners feel overworked and scattered, and how a few small changes can transform your weekly rhythm, energy, and impact. The main culprits behind a chaotic week? Overcommitment – Saying yes to everything, leaving no time to breathe Lack of...

As 2025 winds down, now’s the perfect time to pause and ask yourself one powerful question: Why did I get into podiatry in the first place? In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I invite you to step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the deeper why behind your work. Because when your podiatry business starts to feel heavy, uninspired, or off-track, it’s rarely a patient problem, staffing issue or business problem; it’s usually a purpose problem. Before You Launch Into 2026... If you rush into the new year without reconnecting to your purpose, you’ll likely...

Every podiatrist hits a plateau at some point in their career; when growth stalls, motivation dips, and business feels flat. But a plateau isn’t failure; it is feedback. In this short solo episode, I share how to shift your mindset, avoid impulsive changes, and use a plateau as an opportunity to reset, refocus, and rebuild momentum. I also explore three types of plateaus, REVENUE, MOTIVATION & TEAM, and offer strategies to overcome each one. If you’re ready to move from “stuck” to strategic, this one’s for you. Are you looking for a one-on-one business coach? A business owner I...

Paul is a UK-trained musculoskeletal podiatrist now living and practising in Singapore, and over the past three years, he has built an impressive 500,000+ followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

This week I’m joined by long-time friend, podiatrist, and business coach . 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,...
info_outlineIf you're receiving all your business education and inspiration from within the podiatry profession, you could be missing out on some great opportunities. This episode is all about looking outside the podiatry profession and learning from other professions, businesses and industries.
Today, I am joined by Dr Jessie Green, the author of Retention - How to Plug the #1 Profit Leak in Your Dental Practice.
Dr Jesse Green is also the owner of one of the most successful dental coaching companies in Australia, the Savvy Dentist, so his knowledge in all aspects of business is highly regarded and sort after.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Learning from other professions and why.
- Why most health businesses are very similar.
- Asking the question, "how can I make that relevant to me, and how can I be different to everyone else"?
- What does a VIP service look like?
Facebook Groups
On Facebook, every profession will have multiple Facebook groups, and you'll find most of them are saying the same thing and giving the same advice. Very few step outside what is expected, and over time they become very vanilla.
Is Your Business Talk-Worthy?
What do you do that makes people talk about your business when they leave? Is there something about your business that is unique or different?
When patients are asked about their day, will their visit with you be talk-worthy?
Love & Hate
When you visit other businesses, pay attention to what you love and what do you hate. With what you love, can you make it work in your business and with what you hate, make sure you're not doing this yourself.
Disneyland
If you're going to look outside your industry, look at organisations that are very successful at what they do, such as Disneyland.
Ask yourself, "what would Disney do"?
Book Recommendation: Be Our Guest: perfecting the Art of Customer Service.
It Takes Courage
If you're a little apprehensive about making a change, that's normal. It takes courage to make the changes you know you need to make.
But, you can always change back if it doesn't work for you. Changes are never set in concrete.
"A good idea at the wrong time is still a bad idea" - Dr Jesse Green
Know Your WHY
It will help if you keep reminding yourself why you're doing what you do because it can be easy to get bogged down in the day to day grind and lose sight of this.
The power of WHY - It’s the fuel that keeps you going
Final Tip:
Always be looking around you and observe what you like and what you don’t like and keep asking. "how could I apply that in my business"?
