Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Justin Kwon, OD. Justin joins me on the show to talk all things myopia control. Justin's passion for this topic is very evident and I found our conversation very informative. While there's the obvious clinical angle that is a deeper and separate discussion than what we had here on the show, Justin does a great job illustrating the mutual benefits that exploring the implementation of myopia control in a practice can have on both the patients that you serve as well as the business that you own.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that's filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your best life, on purpose. You can also set up a Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we serve in the capacity of a personal and professional CFO: helping OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions both in and out of their practice to ultimately help them live their best life on purpose. Lastly, if you're interested in learning more about the 20/20 Money Membership, a platform that we created to help ODs become “brilliant at the financial basics,” please check out the link in the show notes of this episode to learn more.   And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Justin Kwon, OD.   Resources: 20/20 Money Membership Information   ———————————————————————————— Please rate and subscribe to 20/20 Money on these platforms Apple Podcasts Spotify For past episodes of 20/20 Money with full companion show notes, please check out our episode archive here!
