Justin Blake is a former sports podiatrist who has worked with recreational through to international and Olympic level athletes. He was part of the UK Olympic Performance Plan and at one stage owned seven podiatry clinics in both the UK and in Ireland.  

After selling his highly successful podiatry businesses, Justin set up Justin Blake Media and now helps healthcare business owners to grow their practices and get more patients using effective marketing and efficient practice management skills. 

On this episode we discuss:

  • His career in podiatry and transition into creating a successful media company.
  • Moving from London to Ireland
  • Why biomechanics is the root of all the other conditions and why this should be taught first at University, not last.
  • Running Seven practices in Ireland.
  • The isolation of being a solo-practitioner
  • Patients are looking for solutions. 
  • Building trust with patients keeps them coming back
  • Why newspaper ads still work and advertorials are still killing it
  • Testing what you do and tweaking it for better results.
  • Sometimes it only takes small tweaks that make all the difference in your marketing and business success. 
  • FAST TRACKING your Podiatry success. Why not do it in 2 years instead of 10 years. 

"Skip all the mistakes and learn from the people that have gone before you. That's what coaching does". 

  • Good marketing prevents the highs and lows of business.
  • Why you need to put your FEES up. When you don't charge enough, you cannot update equipment, training etc
  • Learning what people are searching for

Final Tip

Don't worry about what other people think you should be doing; just do what you enjoy most.
