Plenty of resources can help you grow one location. Almost none tell you what comes next. Optometry Scale Up is an unscripted conversation between Dr. Thanh Mai and Dr. Tyler Mills, two optometrists who have each built multi-location practices and are still learning with every acquisition. No script and no polished playbook. Just what worked, what didn’t, and the dumb decisions they’d make differently. -------------- WHAT YOU’LL HEAR - How to buy and add practices, from your first acquisition to your next - Hiring the people who replace you, like controllers, managers and partners, and when to make those hires - How to get through the stretch where you need help but can’t afford it yet - Scorecards, meetings and benchmarks that fit optometry, not generic business advice - The MSO question, explained in plain language - The truth about working less with a bigger business - Honest stories of wins, failures and lessons learned - Guests who share their own secret sauce -------------- WHO IT’S FOR Owners running one location and eyeing a second. Owners with several locations who feel the growing pains. Associates who want to own someday. And anyone in optometry who has heard “that’s just how it’s done” and wondered why. Hit follow so the next episode finds you.
