1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
People are there for the 
painter, not the paint. 

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,360
So the painter is the one that 
gives you the result, The paint 

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,960
isn't the one that gives you the
result. 

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,320
And once clinicians understand 
that rather than investing in 

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,320
pharmaceutical pharmaceuticals, 
they invest in their skills and 

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,680
the more hone their skills, the 
better the result. 

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,520
I mean, if you look at all the 
agents of Melbourne, Australia, 

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,160
so there's seven different boat 
offices and there's some 30 

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,160
different types of pillars 
available in Australia. 

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Objectively, there's very 
minimum difference between them,

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,760
right? 
If you speak to every pharma 

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,600
company that they think that 
their one is the best thing in 

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,520
the world. 
But objectively, they're all 

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360
exactly the same. 
What makes a difference is a 

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,960
clinician that's injecting the 
agent. 

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,360
I mean, sure, some of them are 
more expensive, some of them are

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,280
a little less expensive, but 
you're looking at, you know, 

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,320
plus -1020% nothing that is 
material. 

19
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,360
So that's one thing that I tell 
clinicians is to understand 

20
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,080
their value and their were.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie 
especially. 

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Only before, especially before 
the Australia Day long weekend. 

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,520
We got Australia Day coming up 
on the 26th of January, so it's 

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,640
a very patriotic time in 
Australia here. 

45
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,160
So yeah, it's a great 
introduction. 

46
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,920
Thank you very much. 
Thank you very much. 

47
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,880
So and of course I'm really 
pumped to that the UFC is is 

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,160
coming back. 
We've had any event this year 

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,880
and we are having a really, 
really milestone event on 

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Saturday. 
It's a new era in the UFC. 

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,240
So they now have a new TV 
license deal with Paramount 

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Plus, and it's a $7 billion 
deal, $7 billion contract. 

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,800
It's massive. 
It's massive. 

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,480
They would easily make the money
back on that. 

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,800
They would easily make the money
back because the amount of 

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,640
people that watch UFC, the 
amount of people that enjoy UFC,

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,640
even just having you in the 
background, you're going to have

58
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,240
a lot of eyeballs on yeah on the
show. 

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800
So yeah, I think that's a great 
deal for Paramount Plus. 

60
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:17,200
Exactly. 
Fantastic. 

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Wow. 
I'm a very, very big fan of the 

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,120
UFC. 
And of course, you know, I 

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,920
sometimes don't. the Champions 
jersey went on the show. 

64
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,480
I'll show you. the Champions 
jersey is black and gold. 

65
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,960
This is black. 
This is black and gold for the 

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Champions. 
OK, Thank you very much. 

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Ladies and gentlemen, you once 
again, welcome to the Kingdom's 

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,200
podcast. 
And we have Doctor Iveka Ranki. 

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,440
He is the CEO of Cosmetic, 
Australia's first accredited 

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,580
cosmetic clinic and one of the 
fastest growing names in non 

71
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:51,040
surgical aesthetics. 
Under his leadership, the brand 

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400
has expanded to nearly 20 
clinics nationwide, launched a 

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,280
national franchise model and 
empowered nurses and clinicians 

74
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
to become confident business 
owners. 

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,760
But this conversation is not one
just about beauty. 

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800
It's about mindset. 
It's about business discipline. 

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,840
It's about leadership under 
pressure. 

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,960
It's about creating trust in an 
industry where trust is 

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,760
everything. 
Doctor Vivek operates at the 

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,120
intersection of healthcare, 
entrepreneurship and scalable 

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800
systems. 
His work challenges outdated 

82
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,240
standards and raises the bar for
safety, transparency and 

83
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,800
performance across the industry.
This is a conversation for 

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,080
founders Schnals. 
There's Mitchen and anyone who 

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,120
believes their work should carry
impact, not just about income. 

86
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:42,480
Doctor Vick, welcome to the 
Kingdom's market and Daria, the 

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,520
CFO. 
How are you doing today? 

88
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,720
You're doing very well, Doing 
very well. 

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Ed Muller, thank you so much for
having me on. 

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
It's an absolute pleasure being 
on your show, especially from 

91
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,600
Perth where it's 40° outside 
today. 

92
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080
So yeah, it's looking forward to
the show from the. 

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,440
World's down under the Aussie 
the Aussie versus the Kiwis. 

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Wow. 
Yeah, that's age-old rivalry. 

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,600
The yeah, the age long lifelong 
rivalry. 

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Let's dive into your origin 
story and of course the identity

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,760
shift. 
So let's take it back to the 

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,200
beginning. 
Who was Doctor Vivek before 

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,120
cosmetic existed? 
And what personal moment shaped 

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
the decision to build something 
bigger than just a clinic? 

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Yeah, I, I started off as a, as 
a doctor, wanted to specialize 

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200
in trauma surgery, actually 
orthopedics and trauma. 

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,520
And I spent many years in the 
hospital system and great job. 

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,560
I have a lot of respect for 
people who do their job, but it 

105
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,240
is a very difficult job, 
especially working in the 

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,000
surgical field. 
The lifestyle is does absolutely

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,840
take a hit. 
So there'll come times when you 

108
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,160
spend more time in the hospital 
than you do at home. 

109
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,440
And So what happened 
concurrently is my wife is a 

110
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,040
dentist and she opened a dental 
clinic and I enjoyed the 

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,240
business side of healthcare a 
lot more than I enjoyed the 

112
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,960
hospital of healthcare. 
And what happened is we scaled 

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,520
that business to three dental 
clinics around the Perth and it 

114
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,560
got acquired by a corporate. 
And simultaneously we also 

115
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,200
purchased AGP clinic and that 
got acquired by corporate as 

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,160
well. 
That's where I got started on 

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,280
the healthcare and the business 
aspect of healthcare. 

118
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,200
And that transitioned into the 
cosmetic industry because 

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,120
cosmetics is one of the one of 
the only fields in healthcare 

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,600
where you do treat people that 
are coming to you already 

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760
healthy, that are coming to you 
without any pathology. 

122
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,960
And you are putting your skills 
in place to make them feel 

123
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,840
better rather than trying to fix
the problem that they have. 

124
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080
So you're not starting off from 
a net negative position, you're 

125
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,800
starting off from a positive 
position and trying to improve 

126
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,760
the outcome of these people. 
And that's the only part of 

127
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,640
healthcare where you could do 
that. 

128
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080
And that's what drew me towards 
towards the cosmetic industry. 

129
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920
And we started off with one 
clinic in person. 

130
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,160
Overtime, we scaled to clinics 
around the country. 

131
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,200
And recently, last year, we 
opened our franchise channel. 

132
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,160
And currently, we've got 4 
franchise clinics and another 

133
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,320
six about to open shortly. 
So there's a lot of interest on 

134
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
the franchise side. 
But one of the things, one of 

135
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,320
the decisions we've made early 
on is to limit franchising 

136
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,680
exclusively for doctors and 
nurses. 

137
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280
And simply because I want to 
give other clinicians the same 

138
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040
opportunity that I've got and I 
want them to find the pleasure 

139
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,800
in owning businesses, running 
businesses and scaling 

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800
businesses because it can be 
rewarding both in terms of, I 

141
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080
mean, from a financial 
perspective, correct, but also 

142
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
from a freedom perspective as 
well and from a creativity 

143
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,480
perspective as well. 
And this is. 

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Something how about from a 
technical competence 

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,280
perspective? 
Oh, absolutely. 

146
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,600
How about and this franchise 
comes. 

147
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,320
In because yeah, because what 
happens with franchising is you 

148
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
you automatically have the 
guardrails of the franchise 

149
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,160
system, right. 
So the franchise system tells 

150
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,120
you what you cannot do and that 
usually correlates with what is 

151
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,400
legally not allowed. 
Franchising is a great step in 

152
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,720
because it basically means that 
people are able to jump into 

153
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280
business ownership without 
burning their fingers and 

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,800
without doing something that 
could get them in trouble. 

155
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,680
And this is this is where it's a
win win really for them. 

156
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
And the the reason why we 
limited it towards clinicians, 

157
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,840
doctors and nurses is because we
wanted to have that ownership of

158
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,480
the clinic as close to the point
that that intersects with the 

159
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,039
patients. 
So when patients are the ones 

160
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,679
that interface directly with the
clinicians who also are the 

161
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,880
business owners, in my view, 
that gives the patients a 

162
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,480
maximum value. 
And that's the reason we made 

163
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,120
the decision because there's a 
lot of people that approach us 

164
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,480
who are interested in opening 
the clinics as investors. 

165
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,800
But again, they would be running
it not on the ground level so 

166
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,840
that, that passion that they 
have would not be, would not be 

167
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640
translated to the patient. 
And we want to absolutely have 

168
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560
passionate clinicians treat the 
patients. 

169
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,120
And so far the, the, the 
franchise clinics are doing 

170
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680
exceptional. 
The feedback that we're getting 

171
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,680
from patients, the feedback that
we're getting from the from the 

172
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,440
clinicians has been, has been 
outstanding and it's been very 

173
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,320
rewarding when I, when I speak 
to them about the experiences 

174
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,520
they've been having. 
So yeah. 

175
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Interesting. 
It's a journey that that that's 

176
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,600
that's been very good fun so 
far. 

177
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,760
You know, one thing that I, I 
appreciate about that model of 

178
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,280
restricting ownership of the 
clinics to doctors and nurses, 

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,400
you know, it gives way for that 
technical competence to be 

180
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,520
assured. 
Of course, that informs the 

181
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,880
integrity of that practice. 
We should remember it's not just

182
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,840
a business, but also a 
professional practice. 

183
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,600
And professional practices are 
governed by strict regulations 

184
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,520
and both those regulations 
should be adhered too. 

185
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
So it's honestly to have a 
professional, a licensed 

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,480
professional to to actually run 
the business you're going to 

187
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,000
keep in something. 
You're completely right about 

188
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,120
that. 
And one of the things that 

189
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,200
struck me when I was younger is 
when I was in the hospital 

190
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,080
system. 
And when you're in the hospital 

191
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,200
system, you do community 
placements, you work in, in in 

192
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,160
community settings such as GP 
clinics. 

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,680
There's a big difference in the 
in the mindset of the doctors 

194
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:37,840
where they're working for 
themselves as the owner of the 

195
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,760
clinic versus where they're 
working for a corporate where 

196
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,760
they have to abide by certain 
policies and procedures because 

197
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,880
somebody tells them to do so and
hit KPIs. 

198
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,640
When are then looked into what 
material change that that made 

199
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,840
there is a, there is a much more
of a personalized approach 

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,400
towards the patients in a, in a 
setting where the clinician owns

201
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,000
the owns a business, whereas one
where they are simply there as 

202
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320
an employee, simply there 
because they just need to pay 

203
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,480
their bills. 
And, and when you then look at 

204
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240
the relationship between the 
patient and and the clinicians, 

205
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,240
it is much better in practices 
where the clinician owns the 

206
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,800
practice than in places where 
the clinician works for, for a 

207
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,840
large corporate. 
And again, that's proven to be 

208
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
true, you know, in the franchise
clinics, the, the, the 

209
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480
franchisees, the franchise 
partners are doing an amazing 

210
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,600
job and it's been very rewarding
seeing, seeing what they're 

211
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
doing. 
So many clinicians actually 

212
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,840
still remain trapped in service 
roles. 

213
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,920
So you chose honorship and 
skillion. 

214
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240
What Mantechiefs allowed you to 
see beyond the treatment room 

215
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
and seek and venture into 
enterprise? 

216
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,560
I don't know if it's always been
something that that I was 

217
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,000
interested in and it was a 
natural progression, or if it 

218
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,360
was something where the I saw 
the value that I could bring 

219
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920
opening businesses, opening the 
dental clinics. 

220
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,840
But I recall being a medical 
student and me and one of my 

221
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,880
good friends opened a business 
where we imported mobile phones 

222
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:16,320
usually from China. 
These are your Nokia's and your 

223
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Motorola's from for those people
who remember those mobile 

224
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,280
phones, that's how old I am. 
And, and we sold them on eBay. 

225
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:27,320
And it was an amazing business. 
I like more than more than the 

226
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,600
money that I made. 
I recall the amazing fun that I 

227
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,440
had. 
And, and, and I think it's a 

228
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
positive correlation between, 
between running businesses and 

229
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320
having fun doing. 
So I think that's what naturally

230
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,320
progressed me into, into opening
and running businesses. 

231
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280
And the other thing is once you 
do have that mindset, what 

232
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280
happens is you see 
opportunities, right? 

233
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,520
You, you are at work and you 
essentially, rather than going 

234
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,120
to the motions of, of the work, 
you actually start seeing 

235
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,200
opportunities where it makes a 
sizable difference to the, to 

236
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,640
the consumer, the patient, the 
customer. 

237
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,560
And yeah, once you get into the 
frame of mind, it's hard to, 

238
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,200
it's hard to escape it. 
So Cosmetic became Australia's 

239
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,920
first accredited cosmetic 
clinic. 

240
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,480
Why was accreditation non 
negotiable for G and what did it

241
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,600
cost to hold that standard? 
So before, so firstly, before we

242
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,560
went into the cosmetic industry,
we've had experience in founding

243
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,440
or buying and scaling and and 
successfully exiting in the 

244
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,960
dental space, the GP space and 
the day hospital space. 

245
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,720
So in those areas accreditation 
has been established a long time

246
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,360
ago. 
So accreditation is a set of 

247
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,480
standards that you have to meet 
that independent auditors on 

248
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,080
behalf of a government 
regulatory body come in and 

249
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840
inspect you and they give you a 
stamp of approval saying yes, 

250
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,040
you are working at that level. 
When that's been proposed in the

251
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,280
cosmetic industry, we were the 
first to jump into it simply 

252
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,640
because we do have that 
experience, We do have all of 

253
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,680
that intellectual capital in 
house. 

254
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,920
So we were able to do it very, 
very easily. 

255
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,440
But more than that, the other 
thing that struck me was any 

256
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,680
change that is available to 
improve patient safety should be

257
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:15,280
seen as mandatory, not optional.
And the reason is in the 

258
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,000
cosmetic industry, you're 
dealing with people who are 

259
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,240
innately healthy from the start.
You're not dealing with somebody

260
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,080
who's got a pathology or an 
injury. 

261
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,080
So which means that anything 
that could be put in place to 

262
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,720
not deteriorate the patient 
beyond the point where they're 

263
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,320
started should be done. 
I think it's an obligation and 

264
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,640
we were seeing thousands of 
patients a month. 

265
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,960
So even a small point, 1% change
leads to a whole number of 

266
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
patients who are positively 
affected. 

267
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,120
So from our point of view, 
safety is not negotiable and if.

268
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,640
You're imagine for error. 
Be taken, we will take it. 

269
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,760
And that's exactly right. 
That's exactly right. 

270
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,080
I'll look at ourselves as the 
airline company. 

271
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,480
You want your airline to not 
cost cut. 

272
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,240
You want them to have an 
obsession towards safety. 

273
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,560
I don't care if they give me 
peanuts or not when I sit down, 

274
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,840
but I do care that their planes 
are beautifully serviced every 

275
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,520
single time. 
There it's impassioned to 

276
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080
profit. 
And of course trust is very, 

277
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560
very important. 
I remember, I remember working 

278
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,600
at PwC. 
So a PwC, the mission statement 

279
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400
is building trust in society by 
solving important problems. 

280
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,520
And that sounds like exactly 
what you guys are doing and 

281
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,520
solving important problems and 
of course building trust in 

282
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,600
society. 
They hit the nail on the head 

283
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,640
with a mission statement, Yeah. 
You know, this is an industry 

284
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,800
that is crowded with marketing 
noise. 

285
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,960
It's trust standards. 
But how does trust become a real

286
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,600
business assets, not just a 
branded idea? 

287
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,840
I think, I think the way I look 
at trust in terms of real 

288
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,320
business practices, what would 
you do when no one is looking 

289
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560
right? 
So it's easy to have a glossy 

290
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480
website that talks about trust, 
mission statements and value 

291
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,760
statements, but do are these 
practiced in areas in the deep 

292
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,040
dark crevices of the business 
that no one ever peeks into? 

293
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,000
And, and, and the accreditation,
for example, was that was a 

294
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
perfect example. 
Another one that we always do is

295
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
mandatory training. 
So in our industry, if a 

296
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,680
clinician says that they're 
trained in something, most 

297
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,320
clinics, if not all of them, 
take their word as gospel and 

298
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,960
put them in contact with the 
patients. 

299
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,800
But we are the only company that
actually mandates internal and 

300
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,400
external validation of the 
training. 

301
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,840
So what we do is we put the same
conditions through external as 

302
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,280
well as internal training to 
make sure that the standards are

303
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,200
met. 
And this is exactly what I mean.

304
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,360
Following, following these these
steps that no one sees. 

305
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,960
I think is is is important is 
important because what it does 

306
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,920
is it demonstrates values being 
put to practical use rather than

307
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,880
being on a mission statement on 
a website. 

308
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Excellent practice management 
right there. 

309
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,880
With that in mind, I'm just on 
our website and we do not have 

310
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,640
our values and website. 
So that's something that I 

311
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,839
should be bringing up with that 
we should probably do that. 

312
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:09,520
That's. 
That is a deficiency in internal

313
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,119
controls that has to be 
rectified. 

314
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,000
How did how did we fail to tell 
people what we said? 

315
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,480
We've just been showing people, 
not telling people, we need to 

316
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,240
do both. 
Action speaks louder than voice.

317
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,800
Actions speak louder than voice.
And there you go. 

318
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,880
And of course you know it's. 
I've just seen the PwC website 

319
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,200
as well by the way, it looks 
phenomenal, like phenomenal. 

320
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,080
What does the branding at PWC's 
and these? 

321
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:41,280
PwC. 
Proud. 

322
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,280
Phenomenal. 
He's obviously proud you guys 

323
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,760
have actually scaled to the 
early 20 clinics nationwide, 

324
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,720
what systems bats at most, what 
broke 1st and what had to be 

325
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,080
evolved. 
Scaling is not the hard bit, 

326
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,880
right? 
Because. 

327
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Because if you look at the 
demographic of people that get 

328
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:03,720
our treatments, it is pretty 
much any patients, any females 

329
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,480
between the ages of 18 to 35, 
vast majority of them get 

330
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
cosmetic treatments. 
So getting the patients through 

331
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,640
the door wasn't hard for us. 
The second thing that wasn't 

332
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,480
hard for us is also getting the 
nurses as well. 

333
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,160
A lot of clinics struggle to 
find nurses. 

334
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Every time we put up a job ad we
get anywhere from 100 to 300 

335
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,040
applicants. 
So we are the employer of 

336
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,640
choice. 
So we are spoiled for choice. 

337
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,600
So that's it hasn't been hard 
for us as well. 

338
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,560
One of the things that we had to
scale is our audit and 

339
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,600
compliance system. 
So if for us it's mandatory that

340
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,200
every patient that gets treated 
is actually audited by one of 

341
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040
our independent staff members. 
So these are staff members not 

342
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,680
affiliated with the clinician 
that calls the patient up finds 

343
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,120
that every facet of what their 
treatment was like. 

344
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,680
And we actively encourage 
patients to give us feedback. 

345
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,240
And that's important for us 
because when you reach more than

346
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,160
a handful of clinics, you 
actually dissociate yourself 

347
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,960
from the front line and you can 
then stay in a bubble. 

348
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,920
It's so easy to stay in a bubble
where no feedback reaches you. 

349
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,880
And we want to have as much as 
much of A direct phone line 

350
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,000
with, with the with the 
customers as possible. 

351
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,440
And that's something that I 
consider as a very, very 

352
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,640
important step as we scale. 
Wow. 

353
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,000
So yeah, I totally agree with 
you. 

354
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Feedback is very, very important
and please us, you know, and 

355
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,160
that is what I also do in my 
ecosystem and it has led to 

356
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,240
winning awards. 
You know, I've been in the 

357
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,800
hospitality business, not 
hospital business, right? 

358
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,360
And I've won the booking.com 
award for travel review for 

359
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:44,240
travelers reviews, right, three 
years in a row, three years in a

360
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,720
row, thebooking.com award. 
And of course you're recently, I

361
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,600
was recently nominated for the 
black tech award, black tech 

362
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,120
achievement award in the UK. 
That comes with taking feedback 

363
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,080
and to ensure that there's 
amazing. 

364
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Thank you very thank you very 
much. 

365
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,880
Thank you very much. 
She should go vote. 

366
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,720
I think the voting closes on the
26th of January. 

367
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,600
So guys, I'll put the directions
to vote in the the. 

368
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,680

The link, Send me the link. 

369
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,800
I will absolutely. 
I'll absolutely vote send. 

370
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,160
Me the link, I'll send you the 
link via link to well, thank you

371
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,240
very much brother. 
So let's talk about the 

372
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,000
franchise model and of course 
empowering others. 

373
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,480
You launched A franchise model 
to empower nurses, clinicians 

374
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,240
into ownership. 
So what does empowering others 

375
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,800
mean to you? 
And of course, why do you prefer

376
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,400
it over centralizing power? 
Yeah, that's a good question. 

377
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,320
So a lot of business owners, 
they worry about giving up 

378
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,760
control in a way. 
They want everything to be as 

379
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,760
controlled as possible. 
Makes sense. 

380
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,440
I was there. 
And but what I've found is when 

381
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,080
you get good people in at the 
start, you micromanage them 

382
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,880
until they understand what needs
to be done. 

383
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,080
But the results actually get 
better when you impart your 

384
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,640
values in that micromanaging 
process and then you zoom out 

385
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,080
and let them do their thing. 
And that's what we've done with 

386
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,360
the franchise model. 
So the first set of franchisees 

387
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:10,320
that we got were people that 
actually worked at the clinic or

388
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,400
associated with the clinic. 
So for example, one of them was 

389
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,400
the first doctor that said that 
we've ever had at the clinic. 

390
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,680
He's now a franchise partner. 
And and once we zoomed out, they

391
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,920
essentially propagated all the 
values that we hold dear and the

392
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,200
mission statements and 
essentially internalized it and 

393
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080
are running the clinics exactly 
how we would do it. 

394
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,400
And that's what a 
democratization of those values 

395
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,280
is something that that's led me 
down the franchising path. 

396
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800
We are very careful to do it in 
a controlled manner. 

397
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,840
So, so we we're not actively 
advertising on any, for example,

398
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,560
doctors groups or nurses groups 
or doctors magazines about 

399
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,760
opening clinics. 
All the referrals we've been 

400
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,120
getting thus far have been 
through word of mouth, which has

401
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,240
been phenomenal. 
And my initial view was not to 

402
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,240
have any sales staff because 
when you have a sales staff, 

403
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,720
you, you are incentivizing them 
to sell, sell, sell businesses. 

404
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,880
And you might be bringing in 
people that are not doing that 

405
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,560
may not hold the same values as 
you do. 

406
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,440
But what we found after a while 
is when you're getting hundreds 

407
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,880
of applicants of people that 
want to become franchise 

408
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,960
partners, it's almost impossible
to manage by yourself. 

409
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,360
We ended up bringing in our 
first part time salesperson, But

410
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:27,280
again, we spent a lot of time 
explaining our values, 

411
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920
explaining what we do. 
And this is a person that's been

412
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,320
in the industry for a long time 
and she's she's phenomenal in 

413
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,600
translating that to to potential
franchisees. 

414
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,480
And we know that she's doing an 
amazing job because she 

415
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080
frequently comes to us and says,
no, I don't think this person's 

416
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,640
going to be right. 
I don't think that person's 

417
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,080
going to be right. 
So when a salesperson tells you 

418
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,440
not to sell something to 
somebody, you know that you've 

419
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,480
got a winner on your hands. 
Absolutely. 

420
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,520
You know, and of course we need 
to cheat in the fact that it's a

421
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,480
high risk industry. 
So there are no rooms for 

422
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,280
errors, there's no mining for 
error. 

423
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,280
And of course, you know, 
healthcare anesthetics involves 

424
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,840
high risk, real life risk. 
So how do you train leadership 

425
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,320
discipline across the teams so 
that standards are not dropped 

426
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,400
in exchange for increase in 
sales? 

427
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,440
Yeah. 
So one of the things that we do 

428
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,680
is we are, we are very pragmatic
about what we do, right. 

429
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,880
So everything that we do has to 
be, we need to consider the fact

430
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,720
that we are treating people that
have no pathology. 

431
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,520
We have treating people that 
have no underlying illnesses or 

432
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,880
issues, right. 
So for that reason, risk 

433
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,160
propensity or the risk appetite 
has to to be different to when 

434
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,280
you're treating people, let's 
say for example, with a heart 

435
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,080
problem or with a broken bone. 
However, we also have to balance

436
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,360
it with the fact that we're not 
scaring people. 

437
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:49,520
So if you look at what we do, 
which is mainly Botoxes, fillers

438
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,400
and laser treatments, there are 
some of the most safest 

439
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,040
treatment modalities out there. 
So the complication rates with 

440
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,320
any of these treatment 
modalities is extremely low. 

441
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,400
But if there is a complication, 
it is a complication on a very 

442
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,040
healthy person. 
That's the problem. 

443
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,520
The problem is you have very 
safe medicines and very safe 

444
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,280
treatments. 
However, it's not a 0% risk 

445
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,680
being administered to people 
that actually are healthy and, 

446
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,400
and, and fit from the start. 
So that's how we, that's how we 

447
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,960
approach safety in our industry 
is, is having those honest 

448
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,040
conversations with the 
stakeholders. 

449
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Because if you, if you basically
tell them that what we do is 

450
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,200
dangerous, and if, if we tell 
them that, you know, things can 

451
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,880
go horribly wrong without any, 
without any context, they would 

452
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,400
translate that to the patient 
and the patient would not have 

453
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,320
honest understanding about the 
treatments they may receive. 

454
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,840
So you might essentially be 
scaring somebody out of a 

455
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,000
treatment that might make them 
feel very good about themselves.

456
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,040
But on the same token, if you 
are very flippant about the risk

457
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,320
and tell people, Oh no, it's a 
very safe treatment, you might 

458
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,960
be bringing in people and and 
doing treatments that should 

459
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,680
otherwise not be done on 
patients. 

460
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960
The other way we manage risk is 
that we are very specific about 

461
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,840
treatments that we perform. 
So we never ever perform 

462
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,280
treatments where we cannot 
manage the complications if they

463
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,400
were to happen. 
And what I mean by that is our 

464
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,240
clinics are also designed to 
manage the complications if they

465
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,200
do arise. 
So part of that is we only do 

466
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960
treatments that are reversible. 
So when we do lip fillers, for 

467
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,160
example, they can be immediately
dissolved like that using a 

468
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,400
specific agent. 
So we use only fillers that are 

469
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,160
soluble and the Botoxes that we 
use are Botoxes that are 

470
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,800
temporary as as all of them are.
Let's say worst case scenario 

471
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,200
happens, the treatment 
disappears within three months. 

472
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960
So the patient is never left 
with a permanent deficit. 

473
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,080
And that's how we approach 
things at the clinic. 

474
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:49,200
I think that is actually very, 
very important because Can you 

475
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,480
imagine a person having a 
permanent blemish on their skid 

476
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,360
for the rest of their lives? 
You're not going to find it 

477
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,920
funnier at all. 
And of course, you know, you 

478
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:05,280
speak often about, but one thing
I appreciate is the confidence 

479
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,720
with which you speak about your 
integrity and your identity. 

480
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,800
But what are people really 
buying when they walk into a 

481
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,080
cosmetic clinic? 
What I think that people are, I 

482
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,160
mean, forward facing basically 
says that, you know, they're 

483
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,400
buying a beautiful aesthetic. 
The backward facing, which is 

484
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,760
the where we recruit staff, we 
say that they're buying a that 

485
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,960
they're buying safety in, in 
that we we we train their living

486
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,360
daylights out of our nurses. 
So they're incredibly well 

487
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,480
trained. 
But what I genuinely think is 

488
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,200
that we are essentially 
transacting a non judgmental 

489
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,480
environment, right? 
Because what I find frequently 

490
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:48,080
about cosmetic clinics is they 
line between what the clinicians

491
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,560
ideals of aesthetics and what 
they translate to the patient. 

492
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,680
The line gets blurred very 
easily. 

493
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,760
We don't do that. 
We understand that every person 

494
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,600
has their own idea of a 
aesthetic end result. 

495
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,000
We appreciate that, we respect 
that. 

496
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,680
And our job isn't to judge that.
Our job is to make sure that we 

497
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,840
take the patient from where they
are to where they want to be in 

498
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,240
the safest and the most 
efficient way possible. 

499
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,480
And that's especially important 
in a country like Australia, 

500
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,360
which is very multicultural. 
So Australia has people from all

501
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:25,160
over the world. 
And, and with that, aesthetic 

502
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,000
ideals are are a spectrum in 
Australia. 

503
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,000
It's not homogeneous and 
unified. 

504
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
You can only understand that 
through open dialogue with the 

505
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,400
patient. 
And that's what we that's what I

506
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,520
personally think our secret 
currency is. 

507
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,720
Oh wow. 
Interesting. 

508
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Definitely you need to sell what
the customer wants to buy. 

509
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Know what you want to sell and 
it's a business and a practice. 

510
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,040
You know healthcare, healthcare 
professionals, ancient business,

511
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,160
they often struggle. 
But what are the most common 

512
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,680
blind spots you see granite 
clinicians attempt are 

513
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,200
entrepreneurship? 
What I see in our industry is 

514
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,480
that, say for example, if 
you're, if you're treating blood

515
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560
pressure right and there's a lot
of blood pressure medications 

516
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,880
that come out, you look at it 
objectively at the different 

517
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,800
blood pressure medications. 
There's no sexiness attached to 

518
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,920
blood pressure medications. 
It is what it is. 

519
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:19,280
But I in our industry, every 
time a new version of Botox or a

520
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,640
new version of fillers or a new 
laser machine comes out, there 

521
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,320
is enormous pomp and 
circumstance around it. 

522
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,640
Everyone portrayed, well, I 
mean, the pharma companies 

523
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,880
portrayed as though it's the 
best thing that's ever happened 

524
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,840
since sliced bread. 
And what I find about clinicians

525
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,840
is that sometimes they can, they
can fall victim to the high. 

526
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,640
They, they become curious and 
they, they think that the 

527
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,200
patients are there for the 
pharmaceutical agents, not for 

528
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,280
them, right? 
And that's very important 

529
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,920
because I keep reminding the 
clinicians, the most important 

530
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,480
person here is you. 
People are there for the 

531
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,760
painter, not the paint. 
So the painter is the one that 

532
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,600
gives you the result. 
The paint isn't the one that 

533
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,120
gives you the result. 
And once clinicians understand 

534
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,840
that rather than investing in 
pharmaceutical pharmaceuticals, 

535
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,160
they invest in their skills and 
the more honed their skills, the

536
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,680
better the result. 
I mean, if you look at all the 

537
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960
agents available in Australia, 
so there's seven different 

538
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,720
Botoxes and there's some 30 
different types of fillers 

539
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,680
available in Australia. 
Objectively there's very minimal

540
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,280
difference between them, right? 
If you speak to every pharma 

541
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
company that they think that 
their one is the best thing in 

542
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,120
the world, but objectively 
they're all exactly the same. 

543
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,880
What makes a difference 
difference is a clinician that's

544
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
injecting the agents. 
I mean, sure, some of them are 

545
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,200
more expensive, some of them are
a little less expensive, but 

546
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,280
you're looking at, you know, 
plus -1020% nothing that is 

547
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,160
material. 
So that's one thing that I tell 

548
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,840
clinicians is to understand 
their value and their worth. 

549
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,320
I love that. 
I love that. 

550
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,760
It's very, very important to 
invest in your skills. 

551
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,400
I remember recently a friend of 
mine who's also called 

552
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,720
podcaster, she has reminded me 
after I got nominated for the 

553
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,720
work that remember last year you
put in a whole lot of work. 

554
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,560
There were days when you would 
only eat once and or you 

555
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,000
probably eat in a day's noodles 
and you are buried in the work. 

556
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,480
And now you're surprised you 
have been nominated for an 

557
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,160
award. 
Like it's not far fetched. 

558
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,920
The apple doesn't fall far from 
the tree. 

559
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,240
You know you need to believe in 
yourself, right? 

560
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,720
And invest in your skills. 
Recently I discovered I had done

561
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,040
more than 10,000 hours, right, 
in terms of podcasting. 

562
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:34,520
So wow, if you invest that time 
into the trade, you, you are the

563
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,640
painter, right? 
And of course you can use 

564
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,000
different tools, correct? 
Different tools to achieve the 

565
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
same results. 
So I, I love that. 

566
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,320
I love that actually. 
And I think that is essentially 

567
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,680
in mindset. 
What I say hack. 

568
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,240
Yeah, a mindset hack. 
So let's talk about the mindset 

569
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,120
through setbacks. 
So what has been your largest 

570
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,200
and your highest leadership 
season so far and what Intel is 

571
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,800
being kept you standard when 
pressure was highest? 

572
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Oh. 
That's a good question. 

573
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,720
So one of the things that I 
wouldn't call it set back, but I

574
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
would call it, there's always 
pressures to do something. 

575
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,200
And whenever there's a there's a
pressure to do something, you 

576
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,560
have to take a step back and go,
well, hang on. 

577
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,480
Is this actually the right 
answer? 

578
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,760
So for example, a perfect 
example is I was asked about one

579
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,400
of the clinicians to bring in 
specific types of fillers that 

580
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,800
come in at higher volume. 
And the reason for that is 

581
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
higher volume means that they 
can bill more for it. 

582
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,200
But then it got me thinking, 
it's probably not in the 

583
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,120
patient's best, even though 
financially you can tell the 

584
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,640
patient, well, I mean, you know,
would love to do this, but this 

585
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,000
is the minimum amount of filler 
that you have to have. 

586
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,120
And therefore this is how much 
it costs financially. 

587
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,120
What he said makes sense, but 
it's really not in the best 

588
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,000
interest of the customer. 
And what you always have to do 

589
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,520
is you always have to prioritize
what the customer values and 

590
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,640
that automatically translates to
sales. 

591
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,040
Perfect example is iPhones. 
I mean, if you go into an Apple 

592
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,000
shop, there is no, you're under,
there's no pressure at all for 

593
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,800
you to buy anything. 
And same with the Tesla. 

594
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,560
If you walk into a Tesla 
showroom, you don't have a car 

595
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,840
salesman who's pressuring you to
buy stuff. 

596
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,360
And, and the sales for those 
companies are, are astronomical.

597
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,200
They, they do phenomenally well.
But then if you go into say, for

598
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,280
example, a Ford dealership or a 
Hyundai dealership, from the 

599
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,920
second you step in there, you 
are a piece of meat that the 

600
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,320
lions will just want to RIP 
through. 

601
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,160
And it is unpleasant. 
So, and, and that's the 

602
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,720
experience. 
You remember, you don't, you 

603
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,760
don't care about the car. 
You're like, oh crap, I need to 

604
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,280
get, I need to buy another car 
because my car broke down. 

605
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240
I really do not want to go to 
the Ford dealership and deal 

606
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,400
with that crap. 
What is coming for you? 

607
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,560
What is Ford Motors? 
I got Ford Motors are going to 

608
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,680
put you on Forbes. 
There's a lot of. 

609
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,400
Fords in Australia and there's a
lot of people passionate about 

610
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,320
Fords. 
Like the next thing you know, 

611
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,560
there will be one chasing me 
down the road and I'll just be, 

612
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:05,400
I was joking, I was joking. 
Ford Ford is to better Hyundai 

613
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Oh bad those vehicles. 
I'm not going to say anything 

614
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,320
you said it. 
I'm not going into this guys 

615
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,080
know how to spend your 
Australian dollars like. 

616
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,000
I we recently got a Kia. 
I used to have a Ford, but we 

617
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,800
recently got a Kia, right? 
And I have to say it is a very 

618
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,480
liberating car because, because 
the thing about Kia saw like 

619
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,200
when you have a nice car like a 
Ford or a BMW or a Range Rover, 

620
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
you care a lot. 
Like you care about where you 

621
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,600
talk, you care about the car 
being nice, you care about who's

622
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,840
parked next to you, you care 
about all of these things. 

623
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,400
But when you get a Kia, it's 
very nice inside, but you just 

624
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,240
don't care because it's such a 
unpretentious car that that 

625
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,120
whatever happens, you just go, 
it's a Kia, right? 

626
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,760
Like we, we got, we got broken 
into a couple of months ago that

627
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,320
the car did. 
And that happened because I 

628
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,760
forgot to lock the car because 
it's just a Kia. 

629
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,840
Like the police officer was, was
asking me like, did they steal 

630
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,000
anything? 
Did they break anything? 

631
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,640
And my response just kept going 
it's, it's a, it's a. 

632
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,960
It's a Kia. 
Relax everyone. 

633
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,480
It's a Kia. 
I don't care there's. 

634
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,239
Something liberating about 
there's something liberating 

635
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,080
about having having a car like 
that. 

636
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,480
You just just don't care. 
Like it's phenomenal. 

637
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,360
We careless? 
We careless. 

638
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,120
Wow, exactly. 
Yeah, let's let's talk about 

639
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,880
beauty, a lifestyle brand 
without becoming, you know, 

640
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,920
affirmative that is obsessed 
with performance. 

641
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,960
So you've actually beat more 
than just a piece that's it's a 

642
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,520
lifestyle brand in Australia? 
Or how do you lead authentically

643
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,639
without performing or the 
optics? 

644
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,520
The important thing is, is not 
to get carried away with the 

645
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,280
lifestyle aspects. 
I mean, cosmetic is purely a 

646
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,800
lifestyle brand. 
So there's again on the 

647
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,520
healthcare space, there's 
nothing that we do that that you

648
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,679
know, we don't cure cancer, we 
don't care heart disease, we 

649
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,320
don't cure diabetes. 
We just make people feel better 

650
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,520
about themselves. 
So that is your quintessential 

651
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,280
lifestyle brand. 
And again, it's important when 

652
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,960
you're when you're when you have
a lifestyle brand such as 

653
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,920
cosmeti to prioritize on what it
is that makes the brand special.

654
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,440
So for us, what what makes it 
special, especially on the 

655
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,800
behind the scenes aspect is, is 
unrelenting obsession about 

656
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,080
safety. 
So any safety set that can be 

657
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,280
taken, we take it. 
But on the forward facing, we 

658
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,040
are also unashamedly non 
judgmental. 

659
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,200
So we are one of the only 
clinics that that that are happy

660
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,960
to accommodate whatever the 
request is as long as it's safe 

661
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,720
and is in the best interest of 
the customer. 

662
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,320
And we understand that everyone 
has a different ideal of 

663
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,360
aesthetic end result and 
something like absolutely 

664
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
surprises. 
Sometimes the girls come in with

665
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,000
just wanting the tiniest little 
bit of filler in their face just

666
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,560
to wipe off 1 wrinkle. 
And other times, you know, 

667
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,720
people that you would not 
suspect, such as doctors and 

668
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,880
lawyers and barristers come in 
wanting their face completely 

669
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,920
frozen with Botox and lips that 
are very large. 

670
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,360
So we don't ever correlate who 
the person is and what their 

671
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,120
profession is to what they 
consider as an aesthetic end 

672
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,800
result. 
That's what that's one thing 

673
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,440
that we value a lot as a 
lifestyle brand. 

674
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,720
Interesting. 
And of course, you know, 

675
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:20,840
cosmetic gave birth to Yuri. 
So let's really speak about Yuri

676
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:26,160
and what are the lessons and the
accomplishments that you've had 

677
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,040
so far? 
Yuri is a startup that that I 

678
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,320
founded last year and what it 
is, is a tech tech platform that

679
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,760
helps clinicians maintain 
compliance. 

680
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,640
What I've found is having, you 
know, been in in the healthcare 

681
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,240
sector for now, what, more than 
10 years? 

682
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,400
I've seen a gradual up regular 
in the amount of regulation 

683
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,160
guidelines in Australia. 
So Australia when I was younger 

684
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,440
used to be a very free place. 
I mean, you know, you could for 

685
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,240
example, there weren't many 
things that were that got you in

686
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,840
trouble, for example. 
And everyone at the same time, 

687
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,400
everyone practice a lot of 
common sense. 

688
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,920
But as we progressed into the 
21st century, the amount of 

689
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,400
rules, regulations and the 
amount of unnecessary burden on 

690
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,240
society from these things has 
gone through the roof. 

691
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:17,240
So I'm sure you heard by the the
crazy lockdowns in Australia, so

692
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,000
our state. 
Yes, completely. 

693
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,680
And New Zealand the. 
Rest of the world for about a 

694
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,560
year and a half, right? 
But yeah, yeah, yeah. 

695
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,840
And, and Melbourne had lockdowns
after lockdowns after lockdowns.

696
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,280
And this is a so we've 
progressed from a, from a 

697
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,200
country that is free to 
effectively a nanny state is 

698
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560
what's happened in Australia. 
And the same things happen in 

699
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,120
the healthcare sector as well. 
So in the healthcare sector, the

700
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,720
regulation has gone past. 
We need regulation to, we need 

701
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:47,280
to look after patients in safety
to now we need to tell doctors 

702
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,840
and nurses how to think, how to 
behave, how to do everything, 

703
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,120
which is which is gone to a 
crazy amount. 

704
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,760
Now the problem there is your 
average doctor, your average 

705
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,240
clinic doesn't understand the 
amount of regulation there is 

706
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,600
now because again, we've got 20 
clinics and we are pretty much 

707
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,120
all around the country and the 
regulation changes state by 

708
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,680
state. 
We have a very deep 

709
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,240
understanding of what the what 
the regulations are. 

710
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,760
And on top of that, I work with 
several medical and doctor 

711
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,600
advocacy groups in, in helping 
doctors navigate through 

712
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,680
regulatory hurdles as well. 
So what we've done is we've put 

713
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
that through into a platform 
which at the end of the day for 

714
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,280
clinic is using Yuli. 
What it basically means is that 

715
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,520
they are able to deliver their 
episode of care to the patient 

716
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,880
without having to worry about 
any, any compliance issues. 

717
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,240
They so depending on where for 
example, they are, software may 

718
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,160
ask you to load in your license 
number, your permit number, your

719
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,080
registration numbers, 
everything. 

720
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:52,840
And it automatically correlates 
it with what is in public 

721
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,360
databases to make sure that all 
the is are dotted TS are crossed

722
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,560
and not many people know how to 
do that. 

723
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,840
And that's where that's where 
it's come from. 

724
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,560
And the next thing that's 
happened is what we found is 

725
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,360
healthcare isn't just a here's a
patient, here's a doctor and a 

726
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,600
conversation and you get better.
What we're finding is as 

727
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,240
healthcare becomes more and more
complicated, there's more and 

728
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:15,920
more people involved in the 
healthcare journey. 

729
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,240
So your typical person may have 
multiple touch points with the 

730
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:21,440
healthcare system. 
For example, if somebody wants 

731
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,000
to lose weight, they would want 
to see their doctor to make sure

732
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,800
there's nothing endocrinological
happening. 

733
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,320
For example, they may see a 
specialist, they may see a 

734
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,240
pharmacist, they may see a 
nurse, a dietitian, A 

735
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,200
psychologist, exercise 
physiologist. 

736
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,840
So as Healthcare is becoming 
more and more complicated, this 

737
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,400
one-on-one interaction between 
the doctor and a clinician at a 

738
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,600
time is not efficient. 
And that's another thing that we

739
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,440
built in. 
We built in a system where 

740
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:51,280
multiple touch points can happen
at the same time in order to 

741
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,920
deliver care in a single 
synchronized matter in a 

742
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,600
synchronized manner. 
And the best place to start, for

743
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,360
example, is actually the, the 
cosmetic industry. 

744
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,720
Because in the cosmetic 
industry, you want to make sure 

745
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:04,440
that the patient doesn't have 
any mental health issues. 

746
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,680
For example, we can do that 
through mental health screening.

747
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,880
They need a doctor, for example,
to do a consultation and to give

748
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,920
a prescription. 
And and hence there's there's, 

749
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,760
there's a portal specifically 
for doctors. 

750
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,600
The nurses are the ones that 
administer the treatments, so 

751
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,240
there's an app specifically for 
the nurses. 

752
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:23,600
So we are able to get everyone 
on the same page very quickly 

753
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,080
using technology. 
And that's where I see the value

754
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,240
for Yuli. 
So yeah, it's been very popular.

755
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:31,080
We've been receiving so many 
requests from other clinics 

756
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,120
wanting to be on boarded onto 
Yuli and it's been, it's been 

757
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,400
phenomenal. 
Amazing, amazing work. 

758
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,400
You know, your body of work is 
actually highly, highly amazing.

759
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,800
And of course, there's something
I always say on the broadcaster,

760
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,080
anytime a person shares their 
time with you, they're sharing 

761
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,800
their life with you because the 
SI unit for measuring life this 

762
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,440
time. 
And of course, big love and 

763
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,840
respect to you today for sharing
your life and your time with us 

764
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,760
today. 
I'm going to end with five quick

765
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,880
fire round questions. 
Are you ready to rumble? 

766
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:12,200
OK, OCOCOCOCOCOC, let's go. 
OK, So what is wonder leave 

767
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,760
about success you have 
completely unlearned? 

768
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,400
I've unlearned the fact that 
success is not a binary concept.

769
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,440
Previously, I used to think of 
success as just a successful or 

770
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,120
not successful. 
Successful success is something 

771
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,680
that you have to, you could be 
successful one day. 

772
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,200
That means that you also have to
hit that mark again the next day

773
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,480
and the next day and the next 
day. 

774
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,320
It's not something you buy. 
It's something you rent and you 

775
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,000
need to rent it every single 
day. 

776
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,320
So you need to play at that 
level every single day, is what 

777
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,880
I've learned about success. 
But and press what is 1 daily 

778
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,280
habit that protects your mindset
under pressure. 

779
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,360
Objectivity. 
So whenever there's pressure, 

780
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,560
rather than succumbing to the 
pressure within trying to solve 

781
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,640
the problem, the best thing to 
do is to take a deep breath, 

782
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,720
step back and objectively look 
at the situation and always 

783
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,880
evaluate the situation against 
the values of the business. 

784
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,000
And the answer becomes very 
clear very quickly. 

785
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,440
Objective assessment what is 1 
leadership mistake that taught 

786
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,800
you more than any win I. 
Would say the initial commitment

787
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,560
towards towards having a top 
down approach as I recently 

788
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,280
learned that that going through 
a democratization of values is 

789
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,880
actually better for the end 
result rather than being a 

790
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,520
authoritarian. 
And simply The only caveat there

791
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,400
is when you democratize the 
values, you need to make sure 

792
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,600
the people that are the 
torchbearers are the are people 

793
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,760
of good character who also value
the same thing as you do. 

794
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,480
So what would you say has been a
mentor that has shipped your 

795
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,400
leadership philosophy? 
I've been very lucky in that, in

796
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,920
that I have a lot of close 
friends and a lot of close 

797
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,240
mentors and each of them have 
different facets of what I 

798
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:55,600
value. 
So for example, when it comes to

799
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,840
when it comes to anything in the
healthcare space, I've got a 

800
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,920
number of people that are 
relying number of mentors that I

801
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,360
rely on and they're very happy 
to receive my call and I'm very 

802
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,600
liberal at calling them and 
asking them for advice. 

803
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,160
And when it comes to the 
business side, again, I'll come 

804
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,840
across many, many business 
people who are, who are 

805
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,640
absolutely phenomenal and very 
generous with their time. 

806
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,520
So there isn't one person, but 
there is a, there is a, a 

807
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,480
spectrum of people that I, that 
I speak with, depending on what 

808
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,160
it is that I'm seeking guidance 
from. 

809
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,560
And, and, and I would caution 
anyone against having a mentor 

810
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,200
because especially when you're 
in business, you're dealing with

811
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,560
your many, many different 
facets. 

812
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,920
And so you need to consider a, a
team of mentors. 

813
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,040
The team is very, very 
important. 

814
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,760
Absolutely, absolutely in the 
multitude of guidance their 

815
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,800
safety. 
So the last question is legacy 

816
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,200
over profits, yes or no? 
Look, legacy, legacy is 

817
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:51,880
absolutely important because I 
wouldn't say legacy or profits. 

818
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,280
I would say that profits may not
lead to legacy, but legacy 

819
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,040
always leads to profits, right? 
Because if something, if 

820
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,600
something's got legacy, it 
basically means that it's stood 

821
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200
the test of time, which means 
instead you bring, you're 

822
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,400
bringing value to other people, 
which means that that transfers 

823
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,640
profits. 
So again, legacy comes back to 

824
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,320
staying true to the message and 
staying true to your values. 

825
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,920
So I would I would prioritize 
legacy over profits if it just 

826
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,120
is a binary binary. 
I love that. 

827
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,360
Wow, Doctor Vivek. 
This episode has been highly, 

828
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,440
highly educational and of 
course, our audience of founders

829
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,560
and professionals are going to 
benefit immense value from this.

830
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,040
And of course, now you are also 
a symbol of deep inspiration 

831
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,880
retailing life experience. 
And of course, you have shared 

832
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,920
with us practical frameworks on 
leadership, scaling, trust and 

833
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,040
mindset. 
The philosophy of this broadcast

834
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,000
is mindset, skill sets, tool 
sets, in that order. 

835
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:51,080
If we're collaborating with 
anyone, we need to 1st consider 

836
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,280
the mindset, then the skill sets
and the tool sets that they use.

837
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,920
And of course you have even us 
no fluff today. 

838
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,880
