Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Nathan Hayes. Nathan joins me on the show to do a deep dive into 2024's Books & Benchmark's annual report. He shares ranges of the numbers that practice owners should really care about and should be tracking: COGS, non-OD staff expense, Associate OD comp ranges, occupancy costs, and G&A (general & administrative). We also talk about some of the lessons that practice owners can learn from these numbers and walk through a number of examples that both he and I have seen in our work with owners.   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.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money. In the spirit of Independence Day, today's episode explores a different kind of freedom—financial independence—and the common decisions that often stand in the way of achieving it. I walk through five recurring mistakes I see optometric practice owners make that limit their long-term financial freedom, both personally and professionally. From overleveraging and ignoring balance sheets to misjudging the impact of time and delaying planning altogether, these decisions can quietly undermine your goals.   My hope is that this episode prompts you to evaluate which of these areas might be holding you back—and take steps now to build a more intentional path toward true independence.   Topics covered include: – The hidden cost of overleveraging in life and business – How time and money intersect in your practice profitability – Why your balance sheet matters more than your income – The danger of relying solely on your practice sale for retirement – The importance of creating an integrated personal and professional plan   Next Best Step: Take 10 minutes this week to identify which of these five decisions may be showing up in your life—and commit to course-correcting just one of them before year-end.   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.

Welcome to the Sacred Stream Radio Podcast. I'm your host, Laura Chandler, and on today's episode, I speak with Tibetan Buddhist nun, Venerable Ani Choyang. Ani is part of a distinguished group of Tibetan nuns on the path to earning the highest degree in Buddhist Philosophy—an honor that, until recently, was reserved exclusively for men. Her academic achievements extend beyond traditional studies into the realm of Western science.

Ani Choyang was the first nun from Tibet to be awarded the prestigious Tenzin Gyatso Science Scholarship from Emory University in Atlanta. She has also completed an internship in neuroscience at Northwestern University and is currently involved in a groundbreaking research project on lucid dreaming and dream yoga. Ani is a resident nun and science teacher at Jangchub Choeling Nunnery in Mundgod, India. She also serves as the Coordinator of the Library and Learning Center, a new facility under development at the nunnery that will offer nuns a comprehensive education in both Buddhist studies and Western subjects.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money!

Doug Horhcak discusses Isaiah 46:9-11—“Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,' calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.”

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here During her trip to Wales, Jan Griffiths took a call from CBS Detroit to weigh in on tariffs. That conversation led her to a bigger question: even if we bring manufacturing back to the U.S., do we have the workforce to support it?This led to this conversation with Torsten Schimanski, the Chief Strategy Officer at NJMEP, who's spent years addressing the talent gap in U.S. manufacturing.In this episode, Torsten explains that millions of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled in the coming years, and current efforts to address this issue will not be enough to close the gap.The industry is facing decades-old perceptions of manufacturing work, a massive generational exit, and the reality that most companies don't have a clear talent pipeline or long-term plan. Torsten doesn't just see this as an HR problem. He sees it as a supply chain issue.So, he introduces an innovative approach: apply core supply chain tools—demand planning, sourcing, supplier management—to workforce strategy. That means forecasting the skills you'll need, identifying where you'll get them, and making retention a priority before it becomes a crisis.Torsten also criticizes the passive mindset that waits for the government or outside forces to “fix” the problem. In his words, if you're waiting for someone else to build your workforce, your business might not be around much longer.He's clear about what will happen if we don't take action: production delays, rising costs, quality issues, and constant turnover. Even automation won't save us if no one's trained to run or maintain the machines.This isn't a future problem. It's already here. And if manufacturing companies want to survive the next decade, they must take ownership of workforce development—starting now.Themes discussed in this episode:The workforce shortage threatening the future of U.S. manufacturingWhy manufacturing workforce development needs a supply chain strategyThe effects of baby boomer retirements on manufacturing labor shortagesHow outdated perceptions of factory jobs affect workforce recruitmentThe business risks of ignoring workforce development in manufacturing operationsHow to apply supply chain strategies to manufacturing workforce planningHow NJMEP supports small manufacturers with workforce training programsWhy manufacturers must lead workforce development—not wait for government solutionsFeatured on this episode:Name: Torsten SchimanskiTitle: Chief Strategy Officer at New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP)About: Torsten is the Chief Strategy Officer at the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP), a nonprofit focused on supporting and advancing manufacturing in New Jersey.

Cecil Maranville discusses Romans 2:5-9—“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who ‘will render to each one according to his deeds': eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek.”

Dave Myers discusses Colossians 3:15—“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.”

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money. My guest on today's show is Dr. Mike Satryan, OD, a partner with Mountain View Eye in Altoona, PA.   Mike is a long-time practice owner who brings over 25 years of experience running an in-house optical lab within their practice. We dive into the substantial cost savings his practice has realized by finishing lenses on-site and how that margin improvement supports a compensation model tied to gross revenue growth. We explore how having an in-house lab not only boosts profitability but also enhances second-pair and annual contact lens supply conversions, thanks in part to a more efficient optical experience. He also shares his buying criteria when evaluating edgers, what ultimately influenced his choice of supplier, and whether the edger is patient-facing or kept behind the scenes. Whether you're a solo OD or managing a multi-doctor practice, this conversation offers valuable insight into the operational and financial upside of bringing lens finishing in-house.   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.
