Episode 287 hosts Dr Felix Bertram (Dermatologist and serial entrepreneur) from Zurich, Switzerland.
In this podcast we do something very different and look beyond the business strategies of earning money from aesthetics. We discuss the importance of financial freedom, budgeting, and various investment options such as savings accounts, term deposits, stocks, property, gold, and cryptocurrency.
We emphasize the importance of starting early, understanding the power of compound interest, and seeking professional financial advice. Our conversation also highlights the differences between venture capital, private equity, and the importance of having a succession plan for business owners. The episode ends with practical advice and insights for professionals seeking to enhance their financial literacy and future-proof their wealth.

In our new 'Industry Updates' we'll bring you up to speed about news and reactions to pressing and important issues. These episodes will be published ad hoc and as soon as we can get them out. They do not replace our regular Friday podcasts and will be titled differently to help differentiate them.
Chapter 3 of our Industry Updates hosted Jason McHeyzer, National Director of AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency).
With regulations very much in the Australian headlines yet again, we delve into the complexities of regulation within the cosmetic industry. We aim to clear up the confusion surrounding AHPRA’s role and its efforts to ensure a safe and fair practice environment - for both our patients and the practitioners.
Jason elaborates on the balance between patient safety and ethical practice. We get the regulators perspective on what sparked their clamp down on cosmetic surgery and with it, non-surgical cosmetic treatments. The discussion also covers the process of handling complaints behind the scenes, the importance of practitioner competence, and we briefly touch on future pending regulations on cosmetic injectables later this year. (Watch out for a future episode with Jason when these future guidelines are published!)
