AWP: The Secret to Practice Growth — A Conversation with Dr. Chandler Mann

Aaron sits down with Dr. Chandler Mann—homebound during a Texas freeze—to unpack how Chandler cold-started a Vision Source practice in December 2022 and scaled from ~$1M to $2M by year three. They dig into what actually drove the growth: community-first “active” marketing, hiring ahead of the curve, smart space constraints (and a buildout timed to paternity leave), expanding to six days with a part-time associate, and delegating dry eye treatments through a well-trained team. Along the way, they bust the “specialist” myth (myopia ≈5% of clinic time, dry eye ≈15%) and land on Chandler’s real advantage: humble curiosity, intentional leadership, and an office culture built around impact.
