Highlighting an Emerging Industry, starting with Local First

05/11/2020
Rob Kochanski sparks a great conversation about light therapy and how I got started (long ago) in this recently emerging industry that the science community refers to as Photobiomodulation Therapy. It was so much fun being a guest on this podcast and have the opportunity to tell my story from the beginning. Business isn’t just about business and serving our community, it is about connecting with people, potential clients, and other businesses on a personal level. So honored to share with the local first podcast community and I intend to bring UltraRed LightMD to every community for access to this incredible non-toxic therapeutic modality.

Rob is putting Milwaukee first!

Rob is doing a great job of putting Milwaukee first. I was really honored to be his guest on the show! We called the episode “The Elephant in the Room” because I’m in an industry fraught with perilous landmines. We address that head-on. Never more thankful than now to have an opportunity for the right people.

I absolutely loved being on Local First Podcast. Rob has a knack for putting people at ease that a format such as this may be out of their comfort zone. He asks great questions and has a humor about him that draws the guest and listener in alike. His passion for podcasting and highlighting local business and their owners shines thru.

Have you ever thought “I’d like to do a podcast….”, and then set that thought aside because you’re thinking “I wouldn’t know where to start”. I have the answer to that PLACE TO START. Reach out to Rob Kochanski at Local First Podcast. In addition to making it incredibly easy, Rob makes it FUN, and he makes you completely relaxed. It is just having a conversation with him on whatever the topic may be….the guy is a genius when it comes to asking the right questions to pull the information out of you. I was lucky enough to do a podcast with Rob and we were laughing and smiling the entire time--- and, a snippet of that podcast resides on the home page of our website, talking about who we are and the culture of our organization. We have also used that clip on Facebook and on LinkedIn to grow awareness of our organization. So, again, I say --- if you are thinking “how do I go about doing a podcast”, you NEED to reach out to Rob!
