Injecting Leadership
Injecting Leadership is a premium editorial podcast featuring candid conversations with the operators, executives, founders, physicians, practice owners, innovators, and industry veterans behind medical aesthetics. Hosts Jake Laban and Tod Reed explore how companies are built, teams are led, cultures take shape, products come to market, and leaders learn through real decisions, mistakes, growth, and change.
No polished answers. No leadership theater. Just experience from inside the industry.
Executive produced by Ashley Nicole Miller.
