February 19 Personal Journeys: from Clinician to CEO with Dr. Ed Hood, Dr. Milton Cook and Bill Ladd
Everybody loves to talk about exits and multiples as some sort of brass ring, but those who fall into this way of thinking overlook one key point of success in life: personal freedom. Freedom of time, money relationship and purpose. Freedom to choose what you want to do and who you want to become. Dr. Ed Hood and Dr. Milton Cook are both equal parts financial success and personal humility. They're winning the game of entrepreneurship. Bill Ladd is co-founder of the dental-specific accounting firm, Duckett Ladd, and has experienced their success "up close and personal" over the last few decades. These three guys are each wonderful examples of what so many aspire to create and to become. You're going to enjoy every second of this conversation.
