Episode 177 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal
In this episode Dr Jake & David introduce their new series of episodes, 'The Business of Injecting'. We'll be stepping away from the nitty gritty of injecting technique to instead focus on the business side of things.
In future episodes of 'The Business of Injecting', we'll host injectors to discuss all sorts of aspects of their business model. We'll analyse their struggles and challenges, difficult decisions that need to be made, the friction points that aren't yet solved, financial concerns, staffing, hiring, firing and all the other issues that crop up when working in or owning an injectables clinic.
We'll also celebratrate some of the success stories of the barriers that injectors have overcome and showcase learning points that can be put into action by other injectors.
