Episode 183 hosts Dan Julien, a Nurse Practitioner from Ottowa, Canada. Dan joins us in the 9th Chapter of our series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of type of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners. We discuss:  Dan's background and how he became an injector How he trained and who his inspirations were The problem of proving competence when training as an injector What the injectables market of Canada is like His injecting philosophy and the dynamic of art vs science His thoughts on dissolving other injectors work and 'starting again’ Using phi dimensions and calipers to assess a patient Aesthetic ultrasound and where it fits in His approach to social media and what channel to use for various outcomes What Tik Tok should be leveraged for when it comes to injecting Dan's mental mindset to filming himself for social media YouTube and how this fits in for an injectors online profile Patreon - what it is and how it can be used by injectors We also ask every injector in these episodes:  What is your number one toxin and why?  What is your number one filler and why?  What is your go to cannula make/size and why?
