Interview - Justin Engleka, Owner of Pittsburgh Mobile Footcare

Описание: What happens when a seasoned healthcare professional sees a growing need… and decides to build a business around it?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Business, JoAnn Forrester (“The Empress of Biz”) and Sal Acosta sit down with Justin Engleka, founder of Pittsburgh Mobile Footcare -- a rapidly growing in-home healthcare service serving seniors across Western Pennsylvania.

Justin is a Nurse Practitioner with 25+ years of experience who turned two simple observations into a scalable business: (1) thousands of seniors can’t easily leave their homes for essential foot care; and, (2) traditional providers are overbooked.

So, he brought the care to them!

In this conversation, we dive into:

• How he validated the business idea before launching
• Using SCORE mentorship and SWOT analysis to reduce risk
• Why he started as a side hustle while keeping his full-time job
• Private pay vs. insurance, and why he chose his model
• Managing travel time and operational efficiency
• Hiring his first nurse and preparing to scale
• The emotional side of entrepreneurship: late nights, doubt, and purpose
• Why nurse-led care builds instant trust with seniors and families
• The biggest surprises in running a service-based healthcare business

Justin also shares a powerful lesson for aspiring entrepreneurs:

You’ll never feel 100% ready -- you have to research diligently and intelligently, but then pull the trigger!

If you are:

• A healthcare professional thinking about starting your own practice

• An entrepreneur exploring a service-based business

• A nurse wondering how to build something beyond the hospital walls

• Or a family member caring for aging parents

This video is for you! It's packed with practical insight and real-world strategy you can actually use.

With the “silver tsunami” of aging baby boomers underway, businesses that serve seniors are not just compassionate -- they are also necessary and profitable.

Watch now to learn how one nurse built a purpose-driven business that is growing year over year — and why the future of healthcare may be increasingly mobile.

After watching, tell us in the comments:

Would you start your business as a side hustle first -- or go all in from day one?
