This episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast discusses the often-overlooked benefits of buying an established podiatry business.

Tyson Franklin and Jonathan Small explore why acquiring a practice could be a game-changing move for aspiring podiatrists. If you're interested in growing your career without the typical start-up headaches, this episode offers practical advice on how to make a successful transition into practice ownership.

1. Buying an established practice gives you immediate cash flow.

2. Systems for patient management, billing, and operations are already in place.

3. You inherit an existing patient base, saving time and effort on marketing.

4. With a profitable business, you have a better chance of securing a loan.

5. Buying an existing practice reduces the risk of starting a business from scratch.

6. Established businesses have learned from past mistakes, which helps mitigate risk.

7. You gain the opportunity to enhance and improve systems that are already working.

8. Business owners often lack business training, and buying a practice gives you more support.

9. Acquiring a practice helps avoid the common challenges of building from the ground up.

10. You can focus on growth and profitability rather than foundational challenges.

I never thought HR could be remotely interesting, BUT I can honestly say I was wrong. In today’s episode, I’m joined by HR expert Phoebe Kitto, owner of HR Dynamics, to talk about the often misunderstood world of Human Resources. Most people think HR is boring, but after you listen to this episode, you will see how HR can be very exciting, and it can also cover your arse in so many areas of small business.

Phoebe explains that HR is not just about rules and compliance, but about creating a thriving, high-performing team. We discuss key strategies for managing staff effectively, the importance of clear contracts, and how to foster a positive workplace culture.

1. HR is about managing your most valuable asset – your team.

2. A strong HR foundation includes clear contracts and staff handbooks.

3. Managing staff performance effectively requires regular feedback and KPIs.

4. The probationary period is crucial for assessing the right fit for your team.

5. Micromanage during the probation period to ensure expectations are met.

6. Once probation ends, shift from directing to inspiring your team.

7. Clear communication and understanding are key to avoiding conflicts.

8. Set realistic KPIs and use them to measure and improve staff performance.

9. Don't avoid tough conversations – frame them in a way that invites collaboration.

10. HR is not just about compliance; it’s a tool for improving your practice and team dynamics.

Here are the five top takeaways from the episode:

1. The Power of Patient-Centered Care: Matthew emphasises the importance of tailoring injury management to the individual athlete’s goals, timelines, and mindset, making sure they’re actively involved in the decision-making process.

2. Sports Podiatry and Elite Athletics Intersect: Matthew's experience as a two-time Olympian in the 3000-meter steeplechase gives him a unique insight into the demands of elite athletes, allowing him to approach podiatric care with a deep understanding of sports performance.

3. Balancing a Career in Sport and Podiatry: Matthew successfully balances being a full-time podiatrist and competitive athlete, which allows him to bring real-world experience into his practice while continuing to pursue his own goals in athletics.

4. The Mentality of a Champion: Whether preparing for the Olympics or a local race, Matthew highlights how the psychological approach to high performance is key to success. It's about staying focused, pushing through setbacks, and striving for the best.

5. Mentorship’s Role in Success: Matthew credits his mentors with much of his growth as an athlete and podiatrist, showing the value of learning from others who understand the intersection of sport and healthcare.
