    431 - The Practice Visibility Scorecard with Dr Jim McDannald

    Most podiatrists assume they're easy to find online, but are they really? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and co-host of the Podiatry Marketing Podcast, Dr Jim McDannald, to discuss the Practice Visibility Scorecard, a free tool designed to show podiatrists how visible their clinic actually is online. We explain why searching for your own clinic on your own computer can give you a misleading picture, how Google's personalised search results work, and why your rankings may be completely different just a few streets away.  Jim also shares how the scorecard analyses local search visibility, compares your clinic with nearby competitors, identifies growth opportunities, and highlights surrounding demographics that could influence your future marketing decisions. Whether you're planning to grow your current practice, open a satellite clinic, or simply want to understand where your next patients are coming from, this episode will give you practical insights you can apply immediately. Practice Visibility Scorecard is available from:Podiatry Marketing Podcast Podiatry Legends Podcast Do you want to make more money in podiatry?

    430 - The Referral Myth That Keeps Podiatrists Underpaid

    Why do so many podiatrists hesitate to increase their fees, even when they know they provide exceptional care? In this solo episode, Tyson Franklin explores one of the biggest pricing myths in podiatry: the belief that charging appropriately will damage referral relationships with doctors and other health professionals. Drawing on a real conversation with a former patient, Tyson explains why undercharging has very little to do with money and everything to do with seeking approval. He discusses the hidden costs of pricing too low, how fear of judgement influences business decisions, and why the best referrers care far more about patient outcomes than your fee schedule. If you've ever questioned your pricing or worried about what others might think if you charged more, this episode will challenge your thinking and encourage you to value your expertise with confidence. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why fear of judgement influences pricing decisions • What professional referrers actually care about • The hidden costs of chronic undercharging • Why patients associate value with confidence, not low prices • How to price your services based on value instead of approval Additional Show Notes are available on the Podiatry Legends Podcast website.  If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a REVIEW, subscribe and share it with another podiatrist.

    429 - The Wrong AI is Costing Your Clinic $100k Per Practitioner

    Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing allied health, but can it do more than simply write clinical notes? In this sponsored episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, Tyson Franklin speaks with physiotherapist and PREVE founder Caelum Trott about how AI is evolving into a powerful tool for improving patient engagement, treatment compliance and clinic performance. Rather than focusing solely on documentation, PREVE helps practitioners create personalised treatment plans, exercise programs, patient education and follow-up communication that keep patients engaged throughout their entire treatment journey. Caelum explains why patient drop-off remains one of the biggest challenges facing allied health clinics, how AI can help practitioners save valuable administration time, and why improving patient outcomes ultimately leads to stronger business performance. If you're curious about the future of AI in podiatry and allied health, this conversation offers practical insights into what's possible today and what's coming next. To learn more about PREVE, please visit: https://preve.co In this episode, we discuss: • Why AI scribes are only the beginning • The hidden cost of patient drop-off (It can be substantial)  • How better patient engagement improves clinical outcomes • Saving one to two hours of administration every day • Using AI to support recent graduates and experienced practitioners alike • Integrating AI with existing practice management software • The future of patient communication and automated follow-up As always, thank you for supporting the Podiatry Legends Podcast.

    428 - Rise and Grind: Why Strategy Beats Hustle Every Time

    Some podcast conversations stand the test of time, and this is definitely one of them. Originally recorded in 2018 for my previous podcast, It's No Secret with Dr T, this discussion with marketing strategist Patrick McFadden is packed with practical business wisdom that's just as relevant today. Patrick explains why "Rise and Grind" isn't about working longer hours. It's about focusing on meaningful work, bringing value to every interaction, understanding how markets evolve, and building a business around a clear strategy rather than endless activity. We also dive into networking, delegation, measuring results, and why diagnosis should always come before prescription in business. Whether you're growing a podiatry clinic or any service business, this episode will challenge the way you think about marketing, leadership and creating long-term success.

Ten Key Takeaways  Rise and Grind means taking meaningful action, not just staying busy.  Bringing value should be the goal of every interaction.  Diagnose business problems before choosing marketing solutions.  Markets change, so businesses must adapt with them.  Clear business goals help every department work together.  Measure everything that matters.  Results reviews build long-term client relationships.  Delegate tasks outside your strengths.  Build relationships before you need them.  Focus on your strengths instead of copying others.

    426 - Toxic Bosses, Are You Driving Good People Away

    Owning a podiatry practice doesn't automatically make you a great leader. In this solo episode, Tyson E.

Additional Show Notes are available on the Podiatry Legends Podcast website.  If you've ever wondered why staff leave, why morale drops, or simply want to become a better leader, this episode is for you.

    425 - The Skills they Never Taught You at University with Dr Ben Pearl

    Hi, I'm Tyson Franklin, and in this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I welcome back Dr Ben Pearl from Arlington Foot & Ankle for his fourth appearance on the show. As always, our conversation takes a few unexpected turns, from patient psychology, healthcare challenges, what podiatrists can learn from businesses outside our profession, and a few movie references. Ben shares some real-world experiences from working in the United States healthcare system, including the challenges of helping uninsured patients and the emotional toll that can come from going above and beyond for someone who may not appreciate your efforts. We discuss the importance of recognising fear in patients and their families, setting boundaries, and learning how to read the room during difficult consultations. We also explore the concept of "shape-shifting" in practice, being flexible enough to adapt your communication, treatment recommendations, and approach to suit each patient. Along the way, we dive into lessons from the Good Feet Store, why scripts matter, how patient experience influences outcomes, and why reputation remains one of the most powerful marketing tools a podiatrist can build.

    424 - Ten Ways to WOW your Patients On Arrival with Tyson Franklin

    Have you ever walked into a business and instantly felt welcome, valued, and confident that you were in the right place? In this solo episode, I explore how podiatry clinics can create a memorable first impression that goes far beyond a friendly smile at reception. From the moment a patient walks through your front door, every interaction shapes their perception of your professionalism, care, and expertise. I share practical strategies that any clinic can implement to elevate the patient experience, including creating a seamless arrival process, improving the waiting room environment, training reception teams to communicate with confidence, and adding small but powerful touches that patients will remember long after they leave.  The best part is that most of these ideas are inexpensive, easy to implement, and can make a significant difference to patient satisfaction and retention. If you're a podiatrist, clinic owner, or healthcare professional looking to stand out in a competitive market, this episode will give you plenty of ideas to take back to your practice. Sometimes the smallest changes create the biggest impact, and in this episode, I'll show you how to turn an ordinary patient arrival into an experience worth talking about. Want Help Growing Your Podiatry Business? Building a successful podiatry business isn’t just about attracting more patients.
