Podcast Episode
New Grad Exercise Practitioner to Scaling E-Commerce Entrepreneur with Melissa Gunstone

About this episode
The boxes we're handed in healthcare are well-meaning. Your title, your scope, your place in the hierarchy - they exist for good reasons. But they can also become the edges of what you think is possible.
Melissa Gunstone is a Canadian Registered Kinesiologist who graduated, hit the wall most new grads hit, and built her way out of it - not by leaving healthcare, but by refusing to stay inside the box it handed her. What followed is a ground-level account of private practice niching, a team to lead, and a product invented because it didn't exist.
If you're a health professional navigating the gap between your training and what's actually possible - this conversation covers territory your degree never did.
