Sod Foot - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Some of us embark on a career path and we re set for life. But
sometimes one career unexpectedly leads to another. Or prepares us
for another in ways that we don t quite see at first. Take Dr.
Meredith Warner. Dr warner is an orthopedist with a practice in
Baton Rouge, Warner Orthopedics and Wellness, that she opened in
2013. Meredith s career dealing with bones and joints has led her
to a second enterprise this one, entrepreneurial. Meredith has
created a special shoe for people with plantar fasciitis. She calls
it the Healing Sole. It s a flip flop that helps people suffering
from the painful heel condition. Meredith spent five years
designing her shoe and even went to business school to learn the
business side of selling and marketing it. In 2015, it went on the
market and today it s on store shelves and on the internet. Jamie
Miller Carruth s career has also taken interesting twists and
turns. Jamie spent more than two decades in education, and was
principal at Highland Elementary here in Baton Rouge for more than
13 years. But just one month after retiring in 2016, Jamie embarked
on a new career in the lawn care business. Principal Carruth became
a franchisee for U.S. Lawns, a rapidly growing national company
that provides grounds care for a variety of commercial clients
throughout the capital region, and Jamie is loving her new life As
inspirational as it is informative, this is a great insight into
Baton Rouge entrepreneurial business. Photos at Mansurs on the
