Hey everyone, we’re back with another great episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Today I am interviewing the one and only Brett Hawes! If you’re a health and wellness practitioner and you don’t know about Brett Hawes, you should. And you’ll be glad you listened to this episode as well.

Brett is a professional educator at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, where he has been teaching for the past ten years. He also has his own private practice where he focuses on clinical detoxification, Ayurveda, energy medicine, body talk, and iridology. And the really cool thing for all you practitioners is that he is also the founder of the Holistic Health Masterclass, which is a practitioner-focused education hub that aims to empower practitioners and help them excel at their craft and in their business.

We’ve been talking a lot on the podcast about how current medical teachings don’t really prepare people for the business side of owning a practice. Brett is going to add some amazing insight and tips for those of you that are in that situation right now, so I would strongly suggest getting out a pen and paper for this episode and really buckling yourself in. Brett has years and years of experience and so much wisdom that you can take advantage, so go ahead, do yourself a favor, and give this episode a listen. 

In this episode, Brett and I discuss: 

• Brett’s journey through teaching and his practice. 
• Why cookie-cutter nutrition and healthcare is on its way out. 
• What school does and doesn't prepare you for when creating your own practice. 
• Switching from a physical office to the online space. 
• Referrals and marketing. 
• Social media and what you should or should not be focusing on.
