S5, E7: Life as a Locum Podiatrist in the UK – with Vishaan Solanki

In this episode of Allied Health Podcast, we are joined by Occupational Therapist Justin Boulos. Justin is an inspirational OT and the founder of Wheelie Worx, a business that is doing amazing things in the disability and mobility space. We dive into a topic that hits close to home for so many allied health business owners – social media. Justin’s Wheelie Worx Facebook and Instagram accounts were unexpectedly shut down by Meta, and the ripple effect was huge. We discuss what happens when that vital connection to your community and clients suddenly disappears. We unpack what happened, how it affected his business, and what we can all learn from it moving forward.
