In this episode of The Dr. April Jasper Show, Dr. April Jasper sits down with Dr. Terry Marquardt — retired optometrist, New Mexico state senator, saxophonist, and one of the most genuinely multidimensional guests to grace this microphone. Dr. Marquardt's story is a masterclass in saying yes to the next chapter. After a career dedicated to eye care, he stepped into public service, bringing the precision and patient-centered thinking of a clinician to the state legislature. And when the workday ends? He's likely on a stage somewhere, saxophone in hand. Dr. April and Dr. Marquardt explore what it means to lead in a practice, in public office, and at home. He shares the wisdom behind advice he gave his middle school sons before they hit the campaign trail: \"Get past this 20 seconds of nervousness, and it will change your life for the better — forever.\" It's a lesson that applies just as powerfully to the young optometrist stepping into their first associateship as it does to a kid knocking on strangers' doors. Whether you're a clinician dreaming of something beyond the lane, a practice owner looking for perspective, or someone who simply needs a reminder that reinvention is always on the table, this episode will leave you inspired. Tune in and discover what happens when a doctor decides the prescription for a great life is to keep showing up.","meta_description":"What does it take to build not one remarkable life, but several?
