20/20 Money Episode # 52 – Top 10 (Financial) Tips for Optometrists: On location at Univ. of Houston College of Optometry

November 4, 2019

Hello, and welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! Today’s show takes on a bit of an unorthodox format as it’s actually the audio from a recent presentation that I gave at the University of Houston-College of Optometry. If you’d like to watch the video version of the presentation, (will be posted soon) head over to our website at www.integratedpwm.com and click on the Learning Center. You’ll also find a variety of other resources to help ODs make smart and informed personal and professional financial decisions.

I also want to give a special thanks to Chris Valliere, Joe Kirgis, Bryan Procopio, and the rest of the Private Practice Club leadership for extending the invite and allowing me the privilege and opportunity to share my perspectives with the club. I know they listen to the podcast as well, so guys…big thank you and I enjoyed chopping it up over a couple of beers after the presentation! In addition, if you are a student at another school or have connections to other schools that you think would be interested in hearing this presentation or other topics live on campus, please email the show at podcast@integratedpwm.com and we can discuss the details.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy today’s show!
