20/20 Money Episode #341 – Schedule management, pre-appointing, & the importance of listening to your practice w/ Dr. Chris Wolfe, OD

June 5, 2025

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Chris Wolfe, OD.

Chris joins me back on the show to talk about why it’s important to be intentional about the business decisions you make in your practice and make those decisions based on data and a plan. We talk about this concept through the lens of schedule management and how to think about pre-appointing your patients within a practice, and it’s in part based off some listener feedback that I received almost a year ago.

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, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that’s filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your best life, on purpose. You can also set up a Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we serve in the capacity of a personal and professional CFO: helping OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions both in and out of their practice to ultimately help them live their best life on purpose.
