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.

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...

Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

399 - Dont Just Set Goals, Solve Problems: A Better Way to Plan for 2026
Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

398 - Designing A Better Work Week
Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

397 - Reignite Your Why Rediscovering Purpose in Podiatry Before the New Year
Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

Podiatry Legends Podcast
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...

Podiatry Legends Podcast
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.

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_outlineHealthy 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.
