In this episode of Nerdy Optometrist, I sit down with Dr. Ryan Corte, optometrist, multi-location practice owner, speaker, consultant, and host of the Ryan Reflects podcast.
Dr. Ryan has built his career around a simple but powerful belief: that great optometry starts with great leadership. From running thriving practices to
helping fellow eye care professionals find their purpose and fulfillment, he's become one of the most inspiring voices in our profession today.
In this conversation, we reflect on what it means to lead with intention, and why the future of optometry belongs to those who are willing to evolve.
We also dive deep into one of the most talked-about topics in eye care right now: artificial intelligence. Dr. Ryan shares his honest take on AI, how he's
using it in his personal and professional life, and what he believes it means for the next generation of eye care professionals.
In this episode, we dive into:
• What drew Dr. Ryan to optometry and how his journey has evolved
• The lessons that have shaped him most from his own podcast guests
• Why strong leadership and culture are the foundation of a thriving practice
• Moving past fear and finding opportunity in the age of AI
• His favorite AI tools and how he's putting them to work
• How AI could transform the future of eye care
• His message to optometrists looking to grow, lead, and make an impact
🎮 We also play a quick round of "This or That" to know our guest little more personally.
