Troy thinks Chipotle holds the key to refractive success, Michael talks about gamifying frozen yogurt toppings, and the guys (maybe) come up with a name for the show.

In addition, you’ll discover:

- COVID's Fast-Forward Effect on consumer behavior (and why this is important to your practice)

- Chipotle’s Hybrid Model of customer acquisition that you can use to attract more surgery patients now

- The hidden limitations of only doing consults “the old way” (even if you're busy, you're still capped)

- The “first mover advantage” that’s out there for the taking (if you take action immediately)

- And more…

 - The #1 biggest cost in your practice (the equivalent of taking stacks of $100 bills and throwing them in your fireplace)
​
 - The type of “Growth Mindset” that is required to increase refractive volume
​
 - How your practice is not like a sporting goods store, and the challenge that represents for you (and what to do about it)
​
