In this episode of Moving the Needle, host Chris Fink sits down with Brandon Mullen, founder and CEO of Empower (MPWR) Aesthetics & Wellness, for a candid, high-level conversation on what it really takes to build a profitable, sustainable, and values-driven med spa.

Brandon shares his unconventional journey from critical care nursing and case management into aesthetic medicine, revealing how business strategy, patient education, and genuine human connection have shaped his two-location practice in Pennsylvania. Together, Chris and Brandon unpack the realities of launching and scaling a med spa—from early mistakes and costly lessons to smart growth decisions around services, team building, and marketing.

You’ll hear practical insights on:

  • Blending aesthetics and wellness into a cohesive, patient-centered model

  • Hiring and developing the right clinical and operations team

  • Avoiding common financial and operational pitfalls that stall growth

  • Marketing strategies that actually work at the local level

  • The importance of education, expectation-setting, and long-term patient retention

  • What med spa owners should prepare for as aesthetics and wellness continue to evolve

Brandon also discusses his leadership beyond the treatment room, including founding the Aesthetics Practice Management Group, speaking at major industry conferences, and co-hosting popular podcasts like Aesthetics Injector Gang and Injector Business Blueprint.

If you’re a med spa owner, practice manager, injector, or industry leader looking to move beyond surface-level success and build something that lasts, this episode delivers real-world perspective you can apply immediately.
