Do you and your team truly know the "why" behind your business? In this episode, Tim Thurn is back for part two of the conversation, bringing his honest perspective on the realities of modern optometry and a simple yet powerful idea: why successful practices are intentional about their "why."

Throughout the episode, Tim challenges the common belief that independent practices are directly competing with large corporate players. Instead, he encourages practitioners to focus on positioning, patient experience, and integrated care.
