April 25, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein. Bethany is the CEO of Power Practice and host of the Optometry Power Hour podcast. Bethany joins me live from Vision Expo to talk about her perspective on why we both love the model of private practice model in optometry, why it’s important to surround yourself with a good community as a business owner and OD, the importance of learning about leadership and business, and ways in which you can take action on the areas that we discuss.
