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 boundaries – Letting patients, staff, or admin tasks blur personal time

• Energy mismatches – Doing low-value work when you're mentally at your best

The good news? You don't need a total overhaul. Just a few small tweaks.

No one wants a business coach; however, if you are looking, let's talk.

A business owner I spoke with in early 2024 made an extra $40,000 by following my advice from a 30-minute FREE Zoom call. They were so happy that they bought me a $400 bottle of bourbon. That's a win-win for both of us.

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.

If you rush into the new year without reconnecting to your purpose, you'll likely carry the same frustrations forward.

This December, take 30 minutes to reflect. Don't just set goals; realign them with your why to make your goals more worthwhile.

Because when you do, work feels lighter. Marketing feels easier. Your team works better. And you start building a clinic and a life that actually energises you.

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.

In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I talk with Paul Macaulay, better known online as Paul the Podiatrist. 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.

If you're sitting on the sidelines thinking "social media isn't for me," Paul's story will change the way you look at marketing forever. Content creation isn't about becoming an influencer; it's about building trust, attracting ideal patients, and strengthening the profession one video at a time. Paul proves that you don't need expensive equipment, perfect lighting, or flawless scripts. You just need to start.

To connect with Paul, you'll find him @paulthepodiatrist on Instagram, or you can email him at [email protected]

This week I'm joined by long-time friend, podiatrist, and business coach Dr Peter Wishnie. 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, competition, and "not being good enough."

We also dive into the concept of the robot brain, and how much of your day is run on autopilot without you realising it. Innovation never comes from the robot, so if you want next year to be different, you'll need to consciously take back control of your thinking.

We also explore confidence, delegation, public speaking, personalised marketing, and the danger of generic "mass coaching" funnels that don't understand podiatry.

Peter shares insights from 30+ years in practice, plus a sneak peek at his upcoming book, It's Not Your Fault (Unless It Is). If you're ready to think differently about how you practise, lead, and grow, this episode is for you.

If you want to connect with Peter, his email is [email protected], and you can also find him on LinkedIn at Coach Peter Wishnie and on Instagram: @coach_peterwishnie.

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.

2017 – It's No Secret There's Money in Small Business

This week, we explore how divorce, drink-driving offences, and defamation can cripple a career or clinic if not handled properly, and why most people react far too late. My guest, Tad Nelson, a criminal defence lawyer and "Super Lawyer" from Galveston County, Texas, who brings more than three decades of courtroom experience, plus a master's degree in forensic toxicology, to our conversation.

Tad has seen the best and worst of human behaviour, and his insights apply directly to business owners navigating legal, personal, or reputation challenges.

Tad explains the importance of acting fast, staying calm, and getting professional help, both legal and PR, before the fallout damages your brand, income, or family. He also shares his philosophy that a strong reputation isn't repaired after a crisis; it's built long before one happens.

This episode is packed with practical advice on staying ahead of legal problems, managing perception in the age of social media, and leading with integrity under pressure. Whether you're a podiatrist, clinic owner, or entrepreneur in any field, you'll take away lessons on communication, humility, and protecting the business you've worked so hard to build.

This week, I'm joined again by Dr Patrick McEneaney, DPM from Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists. Patrick shares how he's grown to 16 clinics by hiring intentionally, tracking the right metrics, and knowing when to consolidate.

We talk about the lessons of leadership, the art of delegation, and why cultural alignment is the real key to long-term success.

1. Numbers tell the truth. Always track performance and retention.

2. Hire for attitude, not just skill. You can train techniques, not culture.

3. Growth requires letting go of ego. Make decisions based on data.

4. Consolidation isn't failure; it's refinement.

5. Smart leadership builds scalability, not stress.
