## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Mark Perry to unpack his inspiring journey from corporate optometry to building a thriving private practice. Dr. Perry opens up about the pivotal moments, lessons learned, and defining challenges that shaped his career and leadership style. Whether you’re a student, new graduate, or seasoned OD considering a change, you’ll gain practical insights and heartfelt wisdom on what it truly takes to own your career path, create a culture of excellence, and build something that lasts. We talk about the realities of private practice ownership—both the hurdles and the rewards—and Dr. Perry shares the advice he wishes he’d heard starting out. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to take the next step in their optometric journey.
