Ep 160TVoL: Let Go So You Can Grow w/ Danielle Brooks
Show Sponsor: CooperVision Get the exact code every time and protect against and audits with AutoCoder at https://eyecodeeducation.com/pages/autocoder Ever since Danielle Brooks can remember, her parents had always been the best example of hard work in all areas of their life. While growing up, she saw my mom and dad devote their time to their corporate jobs, their network marketing companies, and their small businesses - all at the same time! She wanted to be just like them. While in college, she had the opportunity to work for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Washington D.C. starting in the summer of her sophomore year and any subsequent winter or summer break. While she enjoyed the opportunity and the work she was doing, she knew that was not the place for me long term. One of the many things that she learned while working for the CIA was the fact that she enjoyed working with people. She knew her future career was going to involve helping people in some capacity. Upon graduation, she made the career move to ExxonMobil, as they were looking for engineers that enjoyed sales and working with people. Danielle accepted the role to be an Automotive Sales Engineer. In the three years that she worked for ExxonMobil, she learned a lot about business, people and life! When she left the company, her territory was #1 in the nation for the highest percentage of national account customers buying on our program. No matter how successful she was in corporate America, she couldn’t help but to think: “Who is helping the small business owner?” That became her rallying cry.

Ep 121Dr. Paul Ajamian - "If it wasn't for Bascom Palmer, I'd be part of COVD"
Show Sponsor: CooperVision Dr. Paul Ajamian is one of the most generous, kind (in all the right ways) and passionate people I know. From his zeal to be a lifelong learner to way he pours out himself into the profession of Optometry, he shows why he was an obvious choice to be one of those inducted to the Optometry Hall of Fame (2015). I was there to see him get this honor. The honor was almost as big for me to see it as for Paul to get it. (No, his was way bigger.) Paul has been a visionary of the Optometric profession, seeing the future of where Optometry could go in co-management of eye surgical treatment to the way we treat our guests medically. And with modalities not conceived at the time. Paul’s involvement has been instrumental in the way we now carry out our day-to-day care of guests, in ways most just take for granted. By the end of this interview, you will see the hand he has played in how you do your day, and you will want to thank him personally. For me, it is very personal. Paul was my preceptor for my second externship. But little did I realize that he was one of the first students, while at New England College of Optometry, to undergo such education himself. Also, I did not realize he would play such an important role in my life from that moment on with his encouragement and example to lead. Paul has received accolades such as the SECO 1995 Optometrist of the South, one of ten Optometric Magazine named as their 2000 Optometrists of the Decade, the American Optometric Association’s 2014 recipient of the Distinguished Service Award (the AOA’s highest honor for lifetime achievement) and the aforementioned National Optometry Hall of Fame induction in 2015. He also stays busy within the profession serving currently as SECO International’s General Chair of the Education Committee, was President for the Georgia Optometric Association in 2000, served as the GOA Legislative and PAC chair for many years, and is a Founding Board Member for both the American Board of Optometry and the Optometric Glaucoma Society. But perhaps the biggest contribution he has made is shepherding thousands of future doctors as externs and residents, just like I was in 1992, to become the best optometrists they could be and to encourage serving in our profession just like Paul. Oh, and he still has time to earn a living as the Center Director for Omni Eye Services of Atlanta since 1984, after serving as the Education Director for the Vision Education Foundation (VEF-the nation’s first true co-management practice) beginning 1982. In his spare time, he’s hammered out two textbooks and is the Review of Optometry’s “Clinical Quandaries” author and supervisor. I am blessed to have Paul serve as a boss (SECO CE Committee), mentor (Omni Eye Services of ATL, GOA, SECO) and dear friend. Thank you, Paul.

Ep 119Dr. Mike Rothschild - My Dear Friend and Idol
Show Sponsor: CooperVision I (Ted) first met Mike at a GOA meeting in Hilton Head, SC (GA seldom ever meets in GA for the summer meeting because our beaches are….subpar). He was a 4th-year optometry student and I was barely out of school for a few years. Fast forward a few years and our paths crossed again. This time it was on a trip to Miami Beach for a Vision Source meeting when VS was still very small. Fast forward even more years and Mike has had his practice catch on fire (both because it is awesome and because an electrical wire literally set the roof on fire), had an SUV go through the wall where his conference room in the office was, buy a lake house at Lake Martin AL (where he, I and the rest of the Lakehouse boys would convene yearly for lots of mischief and reflection), sell his practice to his partner, begin a career in industry with an EHR firm, leave that part of his life to go into teaching optometry students why private practice is the best way to practice optometry, start another private practice, and all the while maintain a great leadership organization LeadershipOD.com. He has continued to be one of my best friends and one of the bravest people I know, because he is willing to reinvent himself to achieve higher levels of excellence in doing so. If this episode doesn’t give you at least one good belly laugh, well go back and listen again for the great lessons instead. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my dear friend and idol, Mike Rothschild, a great American. (To my sixth grade English teacher, I apologize for the run-on sentence in the fifth sentence.)

Ep 117Adam Cmejla - Time Is Your Frienemy
Show Sponsor: CooperVision Adam Cmejla is a Certified Financial Planner at Integrated Planning and Wealth Management (https://integratedpwm.com) specializing in financial advice to Optometrists for both their business and their personal needs. He and I met at the West Virginia Optometric Physicians Association State meeting in October 2020. I saw a microphone on the table of his exhibit space and found out he was the host of the 20/20 Money Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/20-20-money/id1438352481). I think you will find this podcast will change your view of your money, how you make it and what you do with it after you get it.
