A podcast from Conor Heaney Brought to you by

World Class Interviews with Best-Selling Authors & Experts.

At university optometrists learn very little about the skillset required to be a business owner so our focus here is developing the skills of an effective entrepreneur. That means business leadership, the management and motivation of people, marketing, psychology, systems, business strategy and more.

Over the years, the biggest breakthroughs in my own mindset have come from being curious and open-minded and learning from what is working in different countries and different industries. Because success leaves clues. With this podcast we bring you world class interviews with best-selling authors and experts. I encourage you to open your eyes and ears wide and be an outward-facing company, focused on doing things better for your clients, your team and the world.

To Your Success!

Optometrist, Owner of Jones And Co. Styling Opticians,
