Episode 172 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal With Dr Jake being away in Europe for a few weeks, we thought we'd do something a bit different. In this episode we first discuss some big news regarding our studio and David's businesses. We then find out where Dr Jake is going and why. We then take a break from our usual injecting topics to discuss a serious issue that seems be plaguing injectors, clinics and businesses all over the world - the weird world of Instagram hacking.  Imagine this scenario - you're an injector who's painstakingly built up your Instagram account to several thousand followers. You have real, engaged and loyal patients who stay in touch with your business via your Instagram profile. You're posting regularly, the likes are growing, you're making connections and networking with other similar businesses, your profits have grown post-COVID and life is good.  Then one day, out of nowhere, you notice that you've been logged out of your Instagram account. When you try to re-log back in, you get an error message telling you that you've violated Instagrams terms and conditions. You have no idea what has happened, you're completely cut off from your business and there's absolutely nothing that you can do about it. 00:00 Introduction 01:03 Renovations and Life Outside the Clinic   04:55 Selling a Business and Major Career Changes   10:59 Why Owners Step Away From Established Clinics   18:27 Industry Changes and Economic Uncertainty   26:25 Preparing for International Conferences   33:29 Learning Ultrasound and New Clinical Skills   41:37 Why Ultrasound May Become Standard Practice   48:53 Choosing Equipment and Training Pathways   52:09 Balancing Innovation With Patient Safety   61:45 Social Media Risks for Clinics and Practitioners   68:49 Real Stories of Instagram Account Hacking   76:38 Business Impact of Losing Social Media Access   80:09 Essential Security Steps to Protect Your Account   86:34 Backup Strategies and Communication With Patients   90:43 Final Advice on Protecting Your Business Online ALL IA LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION
