20/20 Money Episode #311 -“Things that make you go ‘What?!?” as a practice consultant w/ Jennifer Stewart

October 23, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money!

My guest on today’s show is Dr. Jennifer Stewart, founder of the private practice Look New Canaan and OD Perspectives

In this episode, we talk about two major themes that she’s observed over the years as she has consulted with both friends and colleagues. Whether it be an OD launching a cold start or trying to make decisions inside of an established practice, there are two reoccurring themes that she’s observed ODs doing that is causing them to make mistakes with some unfortunate financial and quality-of-life implications.
