## Resource

Arguably the biggest ongoing challenge practice owners face can be lumped into staff—both OD and non-OD alike. This challenge can be amplified for owners in small town/rural practices. Hear from successful practice owner Dr. Andy Yaryan on the approach he's taken to recruit and retain ODs in his small town practice, how he's making the intentional decisions to become a better leader and owner, and the significant results those decisions have had on his life—personally and professionally.
