Dr. Ryan Gustus – co-owner of Eyecare Associates and LensQuote – joins Evon to talk about his experience buying into an optometry practice and what he’s learned about practice ownership.

They dive into how he learned to become an owner and about leadership, what he’d look for in a future partner, frictions and areas to improve in the patient experience and sales process, their thoughts about how ODs should approach selling, and so much more.
