The Podiatry Legends Podcast is hosted by Tyson E. Franklin, podiatrist, business mentor, and author of It's No Secret… There's Money in Podiatry. If you want to MAKE MORE MONEY and spend more time with your family, this is the podcast for you.
Each week, I speak with podiatrists from around the world who are building successful podiatry clinics, growing profitable healthcare businesses, and creating careers on their own terms. I also bring in high-performing guests from outside the profession to share practical insights on marketing, leadership, patient experience, and business growth. In addition to this, I also do SOLO-EPISODES, sharing my own secrets on how I created a million-dollar podiatry business with minimal podiatrists.
If you're looking for podiatry inspiration, business leadership, marketing strategies for podiatrists, ideas to attract more ideal patients, and ways to improve your clinic's performance, this podcast is for you.
My goal is simple: help you think differently about podiatry, grow a stronger business, and enjoy the journey along the way.

402 - Ten Tips to Get More Out of Conferences in 2026
Jan 2000:15:19Tap to summarizeIn 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. If you're at a point in your career where you're thinking about systems, scalability, margins, or simply running a calmer, more profitable clinic, you're welcome to reach out and talk with me. There's no pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if coaching is the right next step for you.

Jan 1500:47:21Tap to summarize3D printing is no longer a future concept in podiatry. It's already reshaping how clinics think about orthotics, turnaround times, and control over their systems. In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I'm joined by returning guest Kieran Carew from Foot Health Orthotics FIT4U, to unpack what's really happening with 3D printed orthotics inside podiatry clinics. Kieran brings a unique perspective, combining decades of experience in orthotics with a background in engineering and biomechanics. We explore the practical realities of bringing 3D printing in-house, including setup, training, calibration, CAD design, and the importance of education. This isn't a glossy tech discussion. It's an honest look at what works, what doesn't, and why technology without understanding can quickly become a headache. We also dive into the business side of the conversation. Reduced lab fees, faster turnaround times, improved margins, and greater control over the orthotic process are all on the table. We discuss why more clinics are rethinking their reliance on traditional lab and how visible technology in a clinic can even influence patient engagement and orthotic uptake. If you've been curious about 3D printing but unsure where it fits in your clinic, this episode will give you clarity. If you're at a point where you're thinking about systems, scalability, margins, or simply running a calmer, more profitable clinic, you're welcome to reach out and talk with me.

Transcribe →400 - PAID OFF: Why Financial Literacy Matters for Podiatrists with Andrew Jacobs
Jan 700:44:57Tap to summarizeTo celebrate this 400th episode, I'm joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners. In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction. Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle. We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don't know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about chasing wealth. It's about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.

Transcribe →351 - The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek (Book Review)
Dec 31, 202400:22:43Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, Tyson Franklin and Richard Chasen discuss Simon Sinek's book 'The Infinite Game.' The book emphasises the importance of long-term thinking in business and life, contrasting finite games like soccer, which have clear rules and endpoints, with infinite games like business, where success is continuous and legacy-building. Through stories and examples, they highlight Sinek's key ideas, such as the importance of having a just cause, building trusting teams, and maintaining ethical standards. They discuss relevant comparisons, including Apple vs. Microsoft and lessons from the Vietnam War, to illustrate how an infinite mindset fosters sustained progress and collaboration. Tyson also shares his encounter with Navy Seal Jocko Willink at Business Black Ops. They conclude by urging listeners to embrace change and future-proof their businesses.
