The challenges and personal costs of business are not often spoken about. I discuss the dark side and personal cost of entrepreneurship in Part 1. Part 2 covers the bright side and if it's worth it (FYI - it is!)

I chat to Adam King and Michael Usher from Vision Health. We explore how they dived right into business, creating their partnership and how it's evolved. Also, how their personalities work together and what it was like in the early days of being an EP, well before the recognition.

Fit Clinic Online continues to operate and has become a brand of itself after Fit Clinic initially went online out of necessity during lockdowns. I share my experiences of how we continue to operate our online programs as well as how we've improved it and what we would do If I were to start from scratch today.  

I chat with Jacci Allanson of Transcend Health; a Physio and Exercise Physiology practice based in Newcastle, NSW. We chat all things business partnerships, setting boundaries, and how their practice manages the client experience and expectations with mostly "hands-off" treatments.
 

Jasmin joined the Fit Clinic team straight from her student placement. She shares insights into what the expectations were coming into her student placements as well as insights, having seen students come into the facility while on "the other side" as a team member. We share the to do's, and what not to do, to get the best experience out of a student placement

Jess has been with Fit Clinic since day 1. Jess provides an understanding to the mindset needed in the early years within a developing business. And sometimes having to deal with an owner whose mind is on many things at once.

I speak to Rebecca Hallam of Life in Action Exercise Physiology, about how she juggles (or sometimes doesn't) being a parent with running a successful exercise physiology practice. We discuss her journey to date, being a sole parent, the expectations vs reality, and how business differs from having a newborn to the toddler stage in addition to all the regular business challenges faced.

I chat to Adam Martin of Balance by Adam about the journey his EP career has taken him on, the opportunities for EP's just starting out, and how an EP career can be less than traditional but totally rewarding.

I speak to Doug Downer of Franchise Ready, an ultra-successful business owner, business coach and mentor that helps businesses and business owners to grow. We discuss the entrepreneurial journey & expectations of success, failure & what you learn from it when starting an allied health business.
