My guest today is McCall McPherson, a thyroid expert from Austin, Texas, who started up her own clinic after the previous clinic that had employed her shut down within eight hours of her working there. Through her new clinic, McCall completely changed the paradigm upon which she wanted to deliver care and has been extremely successful in servicing patients — not only in her local community — but in the online space as well.
She also started an online, crowd-sourced community after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, that enabled rescuers to reach people in need. Literally overnight, she had thousands of people in this group, and armies of women around the world working to help dispatch rescuers, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This woman is a badass encapsulated. This episode we talk about her journey as a practitioner, her philosophy on building a business, and the fundamental skills she has that help her to put all of these pieces in action. If you are looking for inspiration and want to hear the story of someone who is making a true difference, I have it for you here.
