    409 - (From the Archive) Psychologist Dr Dave Weiman Discusses Purpose Values and Best Self

    This week, I'm digging deep into the archives and bringing back one of the most powerful conversations I've had on the podcast. Episode 64 originally aired in 2020, and it went gangbusters. But many of you who've discovered the show more recently may never have heard it. My guest is Dr Dave Weiman, psychologist and leadership consultant from Pennsylvania. Dave has worked with business owners across multiple industries, including podiatry, and in this episode, we explore something far more important than marketing tactics or business growth strategies. We dive into why motivation alone isn't enough. Why "follow your passion" advice can sometimes derail people. And how drifting away from your purpose, values, and best self can quietly turn a fulfilling career into a routine grind. We also discuss something every podiatrist has likely experienced: the plateau. That stage where podiatry feels repetitive. Where the spark dims. Where you start questioning whether you're in the right profession. Dave offers practical ways to reconnect with what first lit you up. If you've ever felt stuck, overworked, disconnected, or simply in need of a reset, this episode will help you zoom out and recalibrate. Are you an ambitious podiatrist looking for a strategic thinking business coach?  If you are, please visit my website https://www.tysonfranklin.com/. If you just want another marketing tactic and no strategy, there are plenty of other mentors and advisors who can assist you.

    408 - Life Moves Pretty Fast with Dr Jae Grymes

    In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Jae Grymes from Delaware, USA, a dual board-certified dental anaesthesiologist and paediatric dentist. While her clinical world is dentistry, you'll quickly realise how similar our professions are. We dive into the realities of healthcare today, debt, corporate pressure, perfectionism, burnout, and the silent struggles many clinicians face but rarely talk about openly. Jae shares her personal journey through grief, professional dissatisfaction, and rebuilding her mindset from the ground up. We discuss why "everything is hard until it's easy," how skills compound over time, and why you should never apologise for your fees when you've earned your expertise. But we also talk about the privilege of being in healthcare and the importance of balance. One of the big themes in this episode is comparison. Comparing your clinic, your income, your house, your car, and how dangerous that can be when you don't know what's happening behind closed doors. We finish with a powerful reminder from Ferris Bueller: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". This episode isn't about marketing tactics or business systems. It's about perspective. If you're building a business and want it to support your life instead of consume it, maybe it's time for a different conversation.  I work exclusively with ambitious podiatrists who are serious about making a change in their businesses. https://www.tysonfranklin.com/ If you want to connect with Dr Jae Grymes: LINKEDIN - www.linkedin.com/in/jaegrymes

    403 - Life Decisions Made at the Beach Bar with Alan and Sharon Cawthorne

    Alan and Sharon Cawthorne from Podiatry & Gait Clinic in Middlesbrough, UK, didn't plan their biggest career decisions sitting up late at night, stressing about life.

    402 - Ten Tips to Get More Out of Conferences in 2026

    In this bonus episode, I share ten practical ways to get more out of conferences and professional events in 2026. With so many events coming up, this is the perfect time to stop treating conferences as something you squeeze in between clinic days and start using them as genuine growth opportunities. I cover everything from how to prepare properly before an event, why being fully present matters more than taking endless notes, and how relationships formed at conferences often deliver more long-term value than the presentations themselves. We also look at why leaving early, working during sessions, or arriving exhausted quietly sabotages the return on your investment. If you want conferences to actually improve your skills, your business, and your confidence, this episode will help you rethink how you attend, how you learn, and how you apply what you take away. Sometimes a small shift in approach makes a massive difference. Check out my YouTube channel, Tyson E Franklin, to watch the video of today's episode.
