Tyson shares examples of successful dot-connecting from other industries, including Capital One Café (bank + café), a coffee shop that becomes a wine bar in the afternoon, drive-through ATMs, blended cuisines, and bourbon infused with banana, emphasizing that innovation is often evolutionary.\nThey encourage looking outside podiatry to learn from hotels, airlines, restaurants, Apple, gyms, dentists, and retail, and highlight how AI can be connected to clinic systems for notes, FAQs, follow-ups, and training. They recommend brainstorming without judgment, testing ideas, dropping what doesn’t work, and using their resources, including Tyson’s “creativity day” and Jim’s practice visibility scan.\n✉️ Contact: jim@podiatrygrowth.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SFey6gWAGHHkGJeindvRQVHk-y5D67HhAAE_oS3R8lQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI3MTY2LzE2NDEy/NjQyMzUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
