20/20 Money Episode #318 – Why I feel ODs and Dave Ramsey Don’t Mix…

December 9, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money!

Today’s episode talks about how I think about Dave Ramsey’s baby steps towards financial independence as it pertains to optometrists. I share where I think the baby steps are great to follow and I also share some iterations on the baby steps that I believe are more relevant and applicable to ODs, specifically with regards to the journey as a practice owner.

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.
