Shownotes

Are you a new Acupuncturist who wants to start a podcast?

Success is not a straight line. It is a succession of failed experiments, hard work, strong networks, support systems, timing and happy mistakes.

In this episode, on a random Sunday afternoon while testing new recording software a great little happy mistake of a podcast episode is born. I invite my Grumpy Uncle, Michael Max onto a mock podcast just to fill some airtime that I can later tinker with, but it was too good to not share.

Today’s Guest

MICHAEL MAX LAC.

I’ve been a student of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for going on 20 years now. It began as a curiosity as to how a few needles could not only resolve a stubborn health condition I’d had since childhood, but also improve my digestion, quality of sleep and mood. This lead me first to acupuncture school, and then Asia where I worked my way through the gate of Chinese language so I could study with doctors there. Today my work is informed by my clinical practice, the materials I read in Chinese from doctors of centuries past, and the teachers of our modern times who synthesize observations of the past with the challenges of the present. This podcast is rooted in my own curiosity, inquiry and appreciation for different points of view.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What it takes to create a successful practice.
  • How Qiological became the success it is.
  • Should a new Acupuncturist start a podcast?
  • Some basic ideas and tools to keep in mind if you DO start a podcast.
