Josh Cook is a determined individual who never takes no for an answer. When he realized there was no opticians association in Pennsylvania, he didn't simply accept it and move on. Instead, he turned his mindset from "can't" to "how" and started reaching out to people who could help.
During our conversation, Josh delves into the challenges they faced in developing the association's website, but also the excitement and enthusiasm driving their work. We explore the intricacies of opticianry, comparing it to the complexity of chess, and emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and involvement in improving the industry.
We also discuss the power of remote engagement in providing quality vision care, particularly for patients who have ordered glasses online and are dissatisfied. The conversation highlights the vital role opticians play in preventing glasses that are of no use to the patient and stresses the need for personalized, one-on-one interactions.
Josh also shares his interest in learning more about working at Delray Vision Academy and running his own shop, underscoring the importance of exploring different office practices and constantly seeking growth and improvement.
Takeaways
- The importance of opticians associations
