Episode 213 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal.

Dr Jake catches up with David after another work trip abroad - this time to Japan.

We first get some insight into how David's business consultations work.

We then recap on how IA Patreon (our online subscription platform) works and how we can support injectors and aesthetic clinics globally.
