## Resource

Aaron shares a personal reflection on preparing for the San Diego Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon with his son, Skyler, only to be sidelined by illness days before the race. What began as disappointment became an opportunity to celebrate someone else’s achievement and appreciate the journey that led there. Drawing parallels between marathon training and practice ownership, Aaron explores resilience, perspective, focusing on what you can control, and using setbacks as opportunities to evaluate and strengthen the systems that drive long-term success. This episode is a reflection on leadership, growth, gratitude, and keeping your eyes on the next finish line. ---------------------- Go to MacuHealth.com and use the coupon code PODCAST2024 at checkout for special discounts Let's Connect!
