Description

Welcome to the Ketamine StartUp Podcast! This is the FIRST podcast dedicated to entrepreneurial medical professionals who want to learn more about providing ketamine therapy, run a business, marketing, and more.

We are Sam and Kim Ko, two board certified physicians who have ventured into the ketamine therapy world. We’ve learned a lot of lessons, taught many clinicians like yourself, and luckily made a few friends along the way.

In this podcast we share our experience and knowledge, plus that of the ketamine industry pioneers and leaders in our interviews.

If you’re ready to boldly go where a few medical professionals have gone before, download and listen to our podcast today
