313 - Elan Silver Podiatrist of the Year 2023 (Allied Health Awards)

Elan Silver was named Podiatrist of the Year 2023 at the Allied Health Awards. He owns Silver Podiatry in Inglewood, Western Australia, and his podiatry story will astound you.  He initially studied optometry but had to leave because of colour blindness and astigmatism, so he transferred and got a degree in Anatomy and Human Biology. After completing his first degree, he decided to study chiropractic. In his final year, he became disillusioned because he felt they did not address the lower limb, especially limb length discrepancies, and how this would affect long-term treatment outcomes for patients. Elan thought, surely you should start at the bottom and work your way up. He mentioned his concerns to a lecturer who said that's how you make your money.  This dissatisfaction led him to investigate the world of podiatry. He decided he would not work as a chiropractor and would go back to university and study podiatry. So, he packed up his life in Perth and started his podiatry degree at the Charles Sturt University in Albury, New South Wales. Upon graduating, he immediately moved back to Perth. After working for other people initially, he decided, as a mature graduate, that it was time to start working for himself. Since then, he has never looked back; the rest is history.

My coaching clients do not have big egos; they are quiet achievers and like to fly under the radar, but they do want to evolve their podiatry businesses into something special, something they can be proud of and say, "This is mine". If this sounds like you, we should talk. You can visit my website, www.tysonfranklin.com, for more information or use my ONLINE CALENDAR to schedule a free thirty-minute Zoom meeting.  During our call, I will explain to you the Thriving Podiatry Business Model, which I've developed over many years. I guarantee that you will have more clarity on what is best for you and your business after we talk.
