Blake Withers works at Achieve Podiatry, located within a speciality sports medicine clinic in Newcastle, NSW. Most of his patients are musculoskeletal, which feeds into his particular interest in runners and paediatrics.  He also works at Newcastle University as a lecturer in Podiatric Biomechanics and as a clinical educator.  Blake was also on Episode 116: How First-Year Graduates Think In 2020.  In this episode, we discuss:  Why mentoring should come before money if podiatry is your career and not just a job.  Your new employer may not be in a position to pay you more. You need to understand how numbers work within a podiatry business.  Owning up to your mistakes when they happen.  You are never going to be a weapon immediately after leaving university.  Experience teaches you how to communicate and ask good questions to your patients.  The Five Chimps Theory.  Why you should make an effort to work with more experienced podiatrists in the areas of podiatry you want to know more about or get better at.  Feedback from your employer improves and sharpens your skills.   When two podiatrists talk about a concept with open dialogue and an open mind to new information, they both benefit.  You can connect with Blake via his Instagram page @TheSportsPodiatryProject, and this is also the name of his podcast.  You can also find me on Instagram @tysonfranklin66.  Podiatry Advising &amp; Mentoring Have you decided to grow your podiatry business this year? We should talk and see if I can be of some assistance if you have.

205 - Mentoring Before Money with Blake Withers

Blake Withers; sports podiatrist, clinical educator, researcher, podcaster and triathlete joined us to chat the science on orthotics, toe yoga and footwear.  We couldn’t really have anyone more qualified to chat about feet and footwear so listen closely, we think you’ll learn a lot from this conversation. We defined terms and simplified some often misunderstood concepts. Blake is great at applying the most recent evidence into practical scenarios and is passionate about teasing out every last detail when it comes to running literature.  We unpack some of the myths around foot weakness and orthotics, suitable foot types, motion control and weight shift. Blake speaks on ‘Toe Yoga’ and we are reminded again how important it is to view running trends with a skeptical eye. Of course our favourite topic was discussed, footwear! Pitch, stack height, stiffness, toe box shape and more were dissected.   You can reach out to Blake on his instagram or podcast at @thesportsmedicine project or at Achieve Podiatry in Newcastle.   Use our code STRONGERSTRIDE at https://www.tailwindnutrition.com.au/ for 15% off. Thank you so much for your ongoing support, we cant wait to hear what you learn from this one!  TSSP   x
