Celebrating Episode #50 of 20/20 Money with Dr. Andrea Cmejla, OD

October 21, 2019

Hello, and welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is none other than my wife Dr. Andrea Cmejla. As I celebrate 50 episodes of 20/20 Money, I thought this would be a great opportunity to have Andrea on the show to talk about her journey in optometry thus far and some of the lessons and knowledge she’s learned through her multiple modalities of practice. We talk about her first position as an associate out of school and spend a good part of our conversation talking about ways in which she and her team at LASIK Plus grew from just under $1MM in revenue to just under $6MM in revenue in just under 6 years by really focusing on the patient experience and journey. We round out the conversation with a discussion on leadership lessons she’s learned and also her answer to the one question I ask every guest at the end of the interview, which is financial lessons she’s learned that she’d go back and teach her younger self.

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, you can also set up a 15min pre-discovery conversation to learn a little bit more about what it means to
