Driven to Business with Eddie Mayfield

We often don’t think of Doctors as small business people, but many that run small and mid sized clinics are just that.  They face the same issues as any small entrepreneur, and on top of that, have to meet a myriad of educational and regulatory requirements.

Dr. Matthew John is the owner of the Ankle and Foot center in Marietta.  (Click HERE for contact info)

Dr. John is originally from the Chicago area where his family decided to settle after emigrating to the US from India in the late ’60s. Once relocating to Augusta, Georgia, he finished his undergraduate degree from Augusta State University.

After receiving his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree, he completed 3 years of residency in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area which included serving at the National Naval Medical Center, treating the military as well as members of Congress. He received extensive training in reconstructive foot surgery and limb salvage and served as Chief Resident during his third year.

Dr. John is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons. He is also a member of the American Podiatric Medical Association. He is a published medical journal author as well.

Scott Hinds was a well liked middle school teacher in East Tennessee when he suddenly got lucky and was chosen to play the role of Carl Perkins in the Vegas production of Million Dollar Quartet.  OK, not really, as with all “luck” stories, luck had very little to do with it.

Scott’s business and career change holds great lessons for anyone.  It’s a story of hard work, vision, hard work, creativity, hard work, determination, hard work, and perseverance.  There really is not a more competitive business than professional music, and Scott’s story is both informative and inspiring.  It’s also a heart warming story of a truly nice person doing well.

You’ll not want to miss Eddie’s interview with Scott Hinds airing on Saturday December 20th.

Dr. John Moeller is the president and CEO, of Action Ministries, an  outstanding nonprofit organization that has been Leading People Out of Poverty in Georgia since 1963.  (Click HERE to visit their website) The mission of Action Ministries  is to mobilize communities to address the challenges of poverty by focusing on hunger, relief, housing, and education.

In running a busy and successful non-profit, John faces the same challenges of management, vision casting, and leadership that any business leader faces.  Since non-profits rely heavily upon volunteers to accomplish their mission, the leadership skills required can be especially difficult.

John is a well spoken, and entertaining guest.  He has a business degree in addition to his ministerial degrees, and is well positioned to discuss not only the worthwhile and effective ministry of Action Ministries, but the obvious parallels that our business audience will find interesting.
