William Mathias Scholl, also known as Dr. Scholl, was born in Indiana as one of 13 children. He studied medicine at Loyola University Chicago. During his studies, while working in a shoe store in the evenings, he became interested in podiatry. Dr. Scholl saw the lack of attention the medical and wellness community paid to people's feet and was able to build a business based on maladies and care of people's feet, which was very unique at that time.
Dr. Scholl's business became a pioneer in not only care of the feet, but modern sales and marketing techniques. But there is some debate as to whether Bill Scholl ever actually completed medical school, and in fact, his company could not be called "Dr. Scholl's" in the UK and parts of Europe.
Join Alex and Kelly as they jump feet first into the world of podiatry and the mysteries of the human foot as discovered by Dr. Scholl and his team!
