In Episode 17 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I’m joined by Joe Keain, a podiatrist, clinic owner, and mentor who shares his journey from early career challenges to building two successful, interconnected businesses—Pod Fit and Physio Fit. Joe dives into the importance of strong branding, team collaboration, and referral networks in creating a thriving practice. He reflects on his shift from clinician to business owner, the sacrifices that come with growth, and the value of continuous learning. Joe also shares powerful leadership insights, including the difference between being kind and being nice, and why investing in yourself and seeking mentorship can fast-track both professional and personal development. His story is a must-listen for practitioners ready to level up their leadership and grow a business with purpose.
