Podcasts about Triage

Why do so many optometric practices hit a ceiling in their practice? We know it's not because the owner isn't working hard enough, so what is it? It's because the business was never designed to scale in the first place. Eugene Shatsman joins me back on the show to talk about the ceiling practice owners inevitably hit in their practice—and a system he's created to help owners break through it. In our conversation, we discuss the systems and frameworks behind building a more intentional, scalable practice, including the five operational pillars Eugene believes every successful practice must manage well. We also talk about the hidden KPIs that quietly hurt profitability, how to create stronger accountability within your team, and why elevating the patient experience from transactional to consultative can dramatically improve both growth and practice value.   Resources: Eyecare BOSS (Pre-order Eugene's book, The EyeCare Boss on their website!)

Are all theological issues of equal importance? Or should we give greater emphasis to some issues, and be more willing to give and take on others?

What if one of the biggest financial mistakes practice owners make is confusing "spending money in the practice" with actually investing in it? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Nathan Hayes for a thoughtful and nuanced conversation around reinvesting in your practice, opportunity cost, and the hidden tradeoffs owners often overlook when deciding what to do with excess cash flow.   We explore the mindset many owners have that every dollar spent on equipment, technology, or expansion automatically creates enterprise value — and why that assumption can quietly create long-term financial consequences if it's never challenged. Nathan and I unpack the difference between true investment versus simply adding expense, how owners should think about ROI inside the practice compared to investing outside the practice, and why many of the highest-value drivers in a business have nothing to do with buying another piece of equipment. We also discuss: Why more equipment does not automatically mean a more valuable practice The hidden opportunity cost of continually reinvesting back into the business How enterprise value is actually created in an optometry practice The difference between spending, investing, and simply staying operational Why patient flow and schedule utilization matter more than most owners realize The role marketing can play in growing enterprise value versus buying more technology How practice owners should think about free cash flow after taxes, debt service, and reserves The dangerous feedback loop created by depreciation-driven purchasing decisions Why many owners underestimate the value of investing outside the practice   As always, we close the conversation with practical NBSs (Next Best Steps) to help owners think more intentionally about capital allocation decisions both inside and outside their practice.     Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Four Levers in Retirement IDOC Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits!

Surface every AI agent in your tenant and expose the ones throwing security signals — across both the IT and SOC view. Triage high-severity alerts as IT in the Microsoft 365 admin center, then pivot into the full incident graph as a SOC analyst in Microsoft Defender. Block malicious tool invocations the instant they fire and catch jailbreak attempts on Copilot Studio agents before they take hold. Trace a compromised user back to suspicious agent activity, then trigger Microsoft Entra conditional access to revoke the session and force a password reset straight from the incident. Hunt overpermissioned agents with pre-built advanced hunting templates — including one that exposes every agent running MCP tools on the maker's standing credentials — and pull risky builds from the Agent Store using the Agent Registry.  Spencer Berg, AI & Security Product Manager, shares how to turn agent risk signals into coordinated remediation across Defender, Entra, and the Microsoft 365 admin center.  ► QUICK LINKS:  00:00 - Stay in control with Agent 365 00:40 - Gain visibility with unified control plane 01:48 - Unified IT & SOC agent view 02:54 - Real-time blocking and jailbreak detection 04:08 - Auto-revoke via Entra conditional access 04:32 - Prevent future incidents 05:28 - Advanced hunting for AI agents 06:43 - Block risky agents 07:15 - Wrap up ► Link References Check out https://aka.ms/Agent365SecOps ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

Most optometric practice owners have no idea how much money they're quietly losing in their optical simply because of merchandising, layout, and the conversations happening—or not happening—between staff and patients.   Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money: The Business of Optometry. My guest on today's show is Kayla Ashlee. Kayla joins me on the show to talk about the subtle but incredibly powerful levers that influence buying behavior inside the dispensary and why the difference between a thriving optical and an average one often has less to do with pricing and more to do with psychology, presentation, and process.   In our conversation, we discuss the difference between optician-led versus patient-led frame selections, why many owners underestimate the power of suggestion in the optical, and how practices may be unintentionally leaving revenue on the table simply through the way eyeware is presented.. We also talk about practical merchandising strategies that can materially influence capture rate and optical performance without adding more patients to the schedule.   Resources: MassGeneral cafeteria experiment "You will read this first" image Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice   ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!   The Optometry Success Podcast  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/4tttng6 Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/4tuf0YM   

Name Your Distraction: "Troubleshooting" and the Neutral Labeling Practice   In this episode, Juan asks everyone to identify the word they use for how they distract themselves and suggests choosing a neutral term without shame or pride. He describes his own pattern as "troubleshooting," citing examples like repeatedly adjusting camera setup, tinkering with Apple Music sync issues, and getting sidetracked during Zoom calls, even when he intended to record podcasts. He contrasts this with "triage," focusing on the most pressing priority, and consider whether his behavior reflects "tanking" (sacrificing short-term goals) or "trepidation" (nervous avoidance). Juan notes oversharing in medical appointments as another way distractions can derail the main objective. The core call to action is to name and observe one's distraction habit—neutrally—so it can be noticed and let go in the moment.   00:00 Name Your Distraction 00:55 Troubleshooting as Avoidance 01:39 Triage and Oversharing 02:30 Tanking or Trepidation 03:38 Why Troubleshooting Feels Fun 04:27 Neutral Labeling Practice 05:21 Values Versus Planning 06:48 Call to Action Wrap Up  

AI, health tech, digital systems, clinician workflows… are we entering healthcare's biggest technological shift yet?In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack sits down with Pete Greenberg (EQL) to discuss the evolving world of healthcare technology and what it means for clinicians, clinics, and patients.Topics include:Why healthcare is finally having its “tech moment”AI hype vs meaningful innovationThe challenges clinicians face navigating new technologyDigital overwhelm and decision fatigueHow health tech should support—not replace—human careData, trust, workflows, and adoption barriersWhat clinics should be paying attention to nowThe future relationship between technology and MSK practiceThis isn't a conversation about replacing clinicians with AI.It is a discussion about using technology wisely, protecting the human side of healthcare, and understanding where innovation genuinely adds value.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

This week we're highlighting the National Memorial Day Concert, airing Sunday, May 24, 2026, on PBS. One concert segment will focus on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and will tell the story of Lieutenant General Patricia Horoho, one of the heroes at the Pentagon that day. After joining the U.S. Army, she trained in clinical trauma nursing and was assigned to the Pentagon in August 2001. Moments after terrorists crashed a plane into the heart of the DoD (only 100 yards from her office) she raced to the site and quickly emerged as the experienced leader. Lt. Gen. Horoho shared a vivid look at the battlefield triage that followed and how with only a belt and the supplies in a medic's backpack, she started an IV and treated her first of 75 wounded patients that day. She also shared how 9/11 was not her only experience respoding to a plane crash. From Afghanistan deployments to becoming the first woman and nurse to serve as the Surgeon General of the United States Army, Lt. Gen. Horoho shares examples of service, sacrifice and true miracles. As our nation celebrates 250 years, we remember all those we have lost, and Horoho's memories capture the pride of being American and the power of human connection.

Thinking about buying or expanding a practice, but nervous about debt, banks, or making an expensive mistake?   In today's episode, I'm joined by Mike Smith of Bank of America to demystify the lending process for optometrists. We break down what banks actually look for in a borrower, how student loans and cash reserves really factor in, why tax returns matter more than stories, and the common traps buyers and sellers fall into when financing a deal. If utilizing OPM, other peoples' money like a bank's, is on your radar (now or in the future), this conversation can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.     Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice   ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

What if the biggest threat to your practice isn't reimbursement, competition, or overhead—but the way you hire, lead, and retain people?   In today's episode, I'm joined by Mike Dixon, president of Hoops, for a conversation every practice owner needs to hear.

The financial decisions you make early in your career can shape the next several decades—and most people don't realize it until much later. On this episode, I'm sharing a presentation I recently gave to students at the Indiana University School of Optometry on the timeless financial and business lessons every optometrist should understand. I discuss the power of compounding, how to think about saving priorities, student loans, disability and life insurance, and why your income is your greatest wealth-building tool. I also cover important concepts on the business side of optometry, including ownership, practice valuation, buying in, cold starts, and why some of the best opportunities in the profession are often overlooked because of geography. Whether you're a student, recent grad, or experienced provider, this episode is about making intentional decisions with your money so you can create more confidence, options, and freedom over time.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

This is the first episode of a special series called The Agentic Patient, which is a series about how real patients are using AI to navigate their health. We go into details, how do patients make AI help them do better, not worse, and what should we all be mindful of along the way? Which tools do they use? Which prompts? What's working, what isn't? It is not just patients on the series, it's also researchers and clinicians. These discussions are intended for informational purposes only, and should not be relied upon as a sole source of medical information or as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. In the first episode, you will hear from Dale Atkinson. Dale was a financial crime investigator before his terminal cancer diagnosis. This is important understanding the research he did on his cancer.The skills required for a compliance officer trained him to read dense regulated documents, which is a transferable skill for medical literature. He is a compelling interview subject and, simultaneously, a survivorship-biased sample of one. Key insights: 1. ChatGPT confuses popularity with authority. 2. Clinician dismissal produces concealment, which produces real harm. 3. Most advanced-stage cancer patients are using AI in secret. 4. Use AI to narrow the search, not to summarize the answer. Read the papers yourself. 5. Context hallucination is the subtle killer not invented studies, but correctly-cited studies applied to the wrong disease. 6. Concealment is a safety emergency caused by clinician posture, and disclosure is non-negotiable regardless. 7. Custom GPTs with closed corpora are the step up from consumer chat, and require real time investment. 8. A clinical team you can bring AI findings to is a prerequisite, not a nice-to-have. 9. Clinician language and clinician posture shape patient behavior — agency begets partnership begets better care. 10. n=1 is n=1. Dale's outcome is extraordinary; his method is instructive; the two must be reasoned about separately.

The discourse centers on a critical examination of Albert Mohler's concept of theological triage, which delineates various levels of theological concern and subsequently informs our understanding of church unity. Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell engage with Tripp Fuller to explore the implications of such a framework in contemporary ecclesial contexts. They delve into how differences in theological perspectives can impact the perception of unity within the church, prompting inquiries into the nature of fellowship among believers with divergent views. Furthermore, the conversation seeks to define the parameters of church unity, whether through essential doctrines or more nuanced theological disagreements. Ultimately, this episode offers a critical examination of what it means to maintain unity amidst theological diversity, emphasizing the necessity of dialogue and understanding in fostering a cohesive Christian community. The current episode offers an in-depth criticism of theological triage as articulated by Albert Mohler, a framework that delineates the hierarchy of doctrinal significance within Christian discourse. Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell invite Tripp Fuller to dissect the ramifications of this model for church unity and the spectrum of theological concerns that it encompasses. Mohler's triage categorizes beliefs into four tiers, ranging from first-order issues deemed essential to the gospel, to fourth-order opinions that bear minimal ecclesiastical weight. This categorization serves as a navigational tool for believers to assess and prioritize their theological disagreements, potentially fostering a more cohesive church environment. Throughout the conversation, the speakers probe the relevancy and applicability of such a triage in today's fractured church landscape. Fuller articulates a vision for church unity that transcends mere doctrinal agreement, emphasizing the significance of relational integrity and mutual respect among believers. The dialogue underscores the importance of addressing theological differences with grace, suggesting that a commitment to love and understanding can lead to genuine unity, even amidst profound disagreements. In essence, this episode not only elucidates the concept of theological triage but also challenges listeners to reflect on their own approaches to church unity. The insights provided by Noel, Blackwell, and Fuller encourage a re-examination of how theological disagreements can be navigated constructively, advocating for a church that embodies love and grace while remaining firmly rooted in essential gospel truths.Takeaways:In this episode, Tripp Fuller articulates the notion of theological triage, presenting a structured approach to understanding varying levels of theological disagreement within the Church.Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell engage Tripp Fuller in a profound dialogue about the implications of unity within the Church, particularly in light of contemporary theological divides.The conversation explores the significance of mutual respect and love among differing theological perspectives as essential to fostering unity in the Christian community.Tripp Fuller discusses the historical context of theological disagreements, emphasizing the need for humility and openness in theological discourse to navigate complex issues.The episode highlights the importance of communal practices, such as prayer and fellowship, as vital components for maintaining church unity amidst diverse beliefs and opinions.Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own theological positions and consider how they engage with others who hold differing views, promoting a spirit of dialogue and understanding..You can leave a donation, buy podcast merchandise, check out previous series that we've done, or become an official member of The Whole Church Podcast on our website:https://the-whole-church-podcast-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network and find merch to support some of your favorite podcasts on the network's website:https://anazao-podcasts-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out Tripp's Substack:https://processthis.substack.com/.Check out TJ on Systematic Geekology:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/f4c32709-d8ff-4cef-8dfd-5775275c3c5e.Hear more from Joshua on Be Living Water:https://be-living-water.captivate.fm/listen.Be sure to come out and meet Joshua, TJ, and Tripp at Theology Beer Camp 2026 in Kansas City:https://theologybeer.camp/

Ever wonder if, when, or how to build stronger operations within your practice? In this episode, I sit down with Tom Restivo to unpack EOS and what it looks like to build a stronger operational foundation inside an optometric practice. Tom shares his experience leading a rapidly growing eye care organization through expansion, complexity, and the pressures that eventually exposed where systems were missing. We talk about why growth without structure creates avoidable friction, how core values shape hiring and leadership decisions, and why vision has to be more than a vague idea if you want your team aligned.   We also get practical about how EOS actually works inside a practice. Tom breaks down the six key components of the system, the role of the Vision Traction Organizer, how Rocks help teams focus on the right priorities, and why Level 10 Meetings can transform communication and accountability. If you are feeling like the business is starting to run you instead of the other way around, this conversation offers a useful framework for creating more clarity, consistency, and traction in your practice.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Tom Restivo's LinkedIn EOS Worldwide Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman   ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

Early Warning Signs Your Business Is Headed for the ER (and How to Triage Fast) | w/ Maartje of The Business Emergency RoomIn this Beacon Way Podcast episode, the host speaks with Maartje of The Business Emergency Room about spotting and navigating business “emergencies.” Maartje explains that symptoms of crisis are similar in small and large organizations, with a key warning sign being stalled decision-making and running the business like “too many tabs open.” She shares how her engineering background and experience in oil and gas frontier projects, disaster recovery, and sailing shaped a scalable crisis framework focused on decision tools rather than domain expertise. They discuss reframing “failure” as learning and forward motion, finding sparring partners to escape the echo chamber, and using “needed conversations” to surface friction early by naming it and inviting perspectives. Maartje also describes triage for fast-growing service practices through clarifying the owner's core work, delegating operations, and rigorously prioritizing by asking “why now?”00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:42 Early Warning Signs05:49 From Engineering to Crisis Work10:14 Why Business ER Exists13:12 Reframing Failure16:52 Finding Support Systems20:18 Triage for Practices25:47 Favorite Problems to Solve29:32 Starting Hard Conversations35:58 Final Advice and Priorities38:18 How to Connect39:38 Closing and Outro

For many families, May doesn't just arrive—it hits. Hard.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose step into the all-too-familiar whirlwind of "Maycember"—that end-of-school-year rush filled with concerts, ceremonies, parties, and milestones that can quickly overwhelm even the most organized mom. From graduation celebrations to last-minute logistics, the pressure to "do it all" can leave families exhausted and disconnected.  But what if it doesn't have to be that way?  Through a timely Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reminds us that while God's plans for our families are abundant, they are not meant to be marked by exhaustion. This episode invites you to take a step back, re-evaluate your calendar, and approach this busy season with intentionality, grace, and a Kingdom-focused mindset.  Rachael and Natalie share honest reflections from their own family experiences, offering both encouragement and practical wisdom for navigating a full calendar without losing sight of what matters most. From embracing your role as the "paper plate mom" when needed, to resisting the pressure of perfection, this conversation is a breath of fresh air for any parent feeling stretched thin.  You'll be challenged to filter your commitments through God's calling for your family, to create space for presence over performance, and to invite others into the load—because you were never meant to carry it alone.  Because at the end of the day, it's not about surviving May—it's about savoring it.    Three Things to Remember  Not everything is a must. Give yourself permission to say "no" so you can say "yes" to what truly aligns with your family's values and God's calling.   Plan with purpose—including your budget. Thoughtful preparation helps prevent overwhelm—financially, emotionally, and spiritually.   You don't have to do it alone. Invite your family and community into the process—sharing the load creates space for joy and connection.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode  1 Thessalonians 4:11   Luke 10:38–42   Galatians 6:2    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.  Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.       

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Steve Vargo to unpack a mindset that many practice owners quietly wrestle with: the belief that there is no longer money to be made in the basics of optometry. We start with a real question from a practice owner who feels discouraged by stagnant reimbursements and declining capture rates, and use it as a springboard to discuss the deeper issue underneath it all: communication.   Steve explains why successful practices are not necessarily dependent on adding new cash pay services, but instead on improving how doctors listen, communicate, and guide patients toward solutions that solve real problems. If you have ever felt frustrated by patients walking with their prescriptions or wondered whether the future of your practice depends on adding the next new service, this conversation will challenge that assumption and give you practical ideas to improve both patient outcomes and the financial performance of your practice.   Links to grab: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Connect with Dr. Steve Vargo on LinkedIn   ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

Richard Broo, project management turnaround specialist and founder of True North PMP Consulting, joins John Golden to expose the invisible forces that cause 19% of all projects to fail — from uncontrolled scope creep and unexamined assumptions to the hidden costs of leadership disengagement — and shares the 60-day triage and root-cause correction framework he uses to rescue initiatives that are over budget, behind schedule, or losing executive alignment.

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield. More than 90% of service members who die from uncontrolled bleeding do so before reaching a medical facility. At GovCIO Media & Research's Defense IT Summit, Jacques Reifman explained how APPRAISE, an AI-enabled decision support system, helps combat medics triage casualties near the point of injury and assess hemorrhage risk. By analyzing patterns in vital signs, including heart rate and blood pressure, APPRAISE can estimate the likelihood of hemorrhage, helping medics prioritize treatment and evacuation decisions in real time. Reifman said training large AI models for military medicine can be challenging because available medical datasets are often small and limited to controlled laboratory studies. To overcome that constraint, researchers use mathematical models to generate synthetic data, creating simulated patients that allow AI systems to train on much larger datasets.

In this episode I sit down with John Marvin to explore a challenging but important idea for private practice owners: the difference between independence and isolation. We unpack John's perspective on why fierce independence can sometimes limit growth when it prevents doctors from learning from others or leveraging the resources already available to them.   Our conversation touches on mindset, the importance of personal growth as a business owner, and why building something bigger than yourself often requires becoming comfortable with discomfort. If you are thinking about the long term future of your practice and how to strengthen private practice in an evolving profession, this discussion will challenge the way you think about leadership, collaboration, and the role you play in the success of your business.   On a personal note, I really enjoy my conversations with John. I usually get a number of pieces of feedback from listeners when I have him on the show. He's been around the profession and business of optometry for decades, and I certainly appreciate his candor, perspective, and opinions. I trust you as a listener do as well.

Most optometrists think growth comes from better marketing or more patients—but the real advantage often starts somewhere much less obvious: your team and your culture.   In this episode of 20/20 Money, Dr. Kurt Steele joins me back on the show to discuss the leadership philosophy and operational frameworks that helped him build a thriving multi-million-dollar optometry practice while developing future leaders inside the organization.   The conversation explores why the strongest practices aren't simply focused on production or patient volume, but instead invest heavily in building engaged teams, creating ownership opportunities, and designing a culture where people feel personally invested in the success of the practice.   We also talk about the realities of practice ownership today—from the growing influence of private equity to the decline of independent ownership in healthcare—and why developing future partners inside your practice can be one of the most powerful ways to preserve independence.   Along the way, Kurt shares practical frameworks that practice owners can implement immediately, including how to track meaningful practice KPIs and how to implement operational improvements using a 7-30-90 strategic plan.   Whether you're early in your ownership journey or beginning to think about the long-term transition of your practice, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at what it really takes to build a practice designed to grow, endure, and eventually pass on.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Check out Dr Kurt Steele's website here Purchase a copy of Dr. Steele's book, "We're Not Selling, We're Winning: The Simple Blueprint That Grew Our Practice from $280K to $4M" on Amazon

Health insurance is one of the most confusing and frustrating decisions practice owners face. In this episode I sit down with Matt Allen, founder of Iconic Insurance, to break down the real options available to optometric practice owners and their teams. We walk through the three primary approaches to offering coverage including fully funded plans, self funded plans, and reimbursement strategies. Matt explains how each structure works, when they make sense, and why understanding the risk profile of your team can dramatically impact cost and plan design.   We also spend time discussing a second scenario many practice owners eventually face: the gap between selling a practice and becoming eligible for Medicare. Matt shares how the Affordable Care Act marketplace works, how income planning can impact premium subsidies, and why network design is one of the most overlooked risks when transitioning from employer coverage to individual plans. If you have ever felt overwhelmed trying to navigate health insurance decisions for yourself or your team, this episode will give you a clearer framework for evaluating your options.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Iconic Insurance Connect with Matt Allen on LinkedIn

Many optometrists are either leaving money on the table with their tax strategy—or unknowingly pushing the boundaries of tax law.   Today's episode is my guest appearance on Dr. Steve Vargo's Eye Own a Business Podcast. Steve invited me onto his show to talk about tax planning for optometrists—specifically the strategies practice owners should be embracing right now, the ones they should avoid, and where costly mistakes often show up on tax returns.   In our conversation, we walk through several examples of where optometric practice owners tend to be either too conservative or too aggressive with their tax strategies, the difference between proactive tax strategy and reactive tax preparation, and a practical case study highlighting an error that occurred on an OD's tax return—and what correcting that mistake will mean for them going forward.   If you've ever wondered whether you might be leaving money on the table when it comes to taxes—or potentially putting yourself on the wrong side of tax law—this episode should help you think a little differently about where to look and what questions to ask.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice   ————————————————————————————— 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!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

A United States Marine in dress blues had his arm deliberately snapped by Capitol Police and an AIPAC-bought Senator because he dared refuse to die for Israel's bloodlust. Peymon Mottahedeh joins to smash the biggest con job alive— there is NO constitutional requirement, NO statute, NOTHING forcing you to hand over your hard-earned cash to a government run by child-raping, blood-drinking Satanists who bomb kids abroad and poison you at home.

America's Zionist-occupied government is sending our brave soldiers to die in the Middle East, all to fulfill ancient Jewish prophecies and expand Israel's demonic empire from the Nile to the Euphrates. Max Igan testifies live that the Tzla machine is shredding pain, numbness and devastating injuries overnight, from myocarditis vanishing after weeks of use to a kid's eye healing in three 10-minute sessions with photographic evidence. Explosive exposé with JD Sharp: How Zionist-controlled Trump is draining American blood and billions in an illegal Iran war, not for US security, but to fulfill the Jewish supremacists' Greater Israel fantasy from the Nile to Euphrates.

Stew tears apart the fake pretext for Trump's war on Iran – a blatant Zionist conquest funded by AIPAC and the Rothschild banking cabal headquartered in the crime state of Israel. From bombing Iranian schoolgirls to sacrificing Gen Z soldiers at Mar-a-Lago parties, this isn't America First; it's Israel First, orchestrated by Jewish blackmail operations and satanic elites who rape sovereignty and kids alike. Max Igan drops the bomb: These Jew-controlled pedovore monsters have welded America and Israel into a demonic genocide factory—sniping Red Crescent ambulances, unloading 900+ rounds into helpless medics and survivors, then finishing the job execution-style. Pure Tribe barbarism! This is the Greater Israel blueprint: Mass-murdering Arab kids, bulldozing cities into dust, and erecting swanky resorts plus their filthy Third Temple for ritual child sacrifices atop pyramids of goy bones.

Frankie Stocks sat in for me and dropped truth bombs with Mindy Robinson on the real invasion happening inside your body – parasites and heavy metals from tainted food, water, root canals, and Big Pharma poison are wrecking immune systems, causing cancer, arthritis, acne, and chronic disease while the Rockefeller medical cartel keeps you sick for profit.

Stew breaks down Florida HB 945 — the bill creating a full Statewide Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism Unit inside FDLE. This is COINTELPRO + MKUltra + Unit 8200 + Noahide enforcement rolled into one, tested on Palestinians first, now being rolled out on Americans.

Trump's State of the Union was the con job of the century: lies about "ending wars" and "securing the border" while drowning in Israeli money and Tel Aviv orders. This wasn't leadership — it was a victory lap for the foreign occupiers who control both parties. Until we drag these traitors out by the neck, America remains occupied and enslaved. Stacy Langton joins Stew to blow the lid off the Zionist Occupied Government's latest assault on American patriots in Fairfax County, Virginia.

JAKEGTV is joining us live from the supposed war zone in Puerto Vallarta, where the Zionist media is shoving down endless footage of black smoke, burning buses, torched stores, flaming highways, and panicked tourists after the U.S.-backed hit on CJNG leader El Mencho. Stew Peters breaks down Tucker Carlson's absolute demolition of Mike Huckabee in their explosive Israel interview. Huckabee, the fake Christian Zionist US Ambassador to Israel, got caught red-handed pushing the Jewish supremacist fantasy that Israel has a “biblical right” to steal the entire Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Frankie Stockes fills in for Stew Peters to cover the latest on the pending war with Iran, the Epstein File cover-up, FAKE alien hysteria, and the ongoing GENOCIDE of the American People Take a sneak peek at the TZLA event with Jeff Berwick and hear from the life-changing testimonies of users. This is what they stole from Nikola Tesla. This is the cure they suppress.

Frankie Stockes fills in for Stew Peters covering the latest updates from the Middle East, as the United States prepares to fight another war for Israel. Meanwhile, in the United States, government officials and propagandists are trying to shift the narrative away from the Epstein Files.

Dan Dicks just obliterated the veil on this show—Canada's forcing SOGI gender perversion on kindergarten babies, mutilating confused kids through affirmation mills, then herding the broken straight into MAiD government-assisted suicide with over 100,000 already executed since 2016 in this demonic harvest.  

Gareth Icke rips into the Epstein files leak as elite mockery—Jewish-linked globalists parading taped child rape, torture, cannibalism, sacrifices, and transhuman experiments, daring us to either submit or end them for defiling our children.   BitChute's Ray Vahey details dodging Jewish-led globalist assaults—debanked in Europe, slammed by regimes, NGOs, and blacklists—delivering censorship-free video since 2017 with spy-free ops, honest trending, auto-monetization for creators, and a $10K shadowban bounty untouched.

Jake GTV joins Stew Peters live from Puerto Vallarta at Anarchapulco ripping open the Epstein files that nail Bill Gates in direct collusion with Jeffrey Epstein—the pedo financier who bankrolled the entire COVID bioweapon operation—complete with pre-planned depopulation, white fibrous clots yanked from corpses, and skyrocketing deaths that prove this was mass murder, not a pandemic. Max Igan live from Anarchapulco Genesis in Puerto Vallarta dropping hard truth: Trump was Epstein's best buddy sharing the Talmudic, Star of Moloch child-sacrifice fetish of the elite Jewish network running blackmail-free pedo rings, while Rothschild central banks control compliant governments and depopulate the world through wars for Greater Israel.
