			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always wanted to do a podcast, but I&#8217;ve never gotten around to it because who wants to hear me ramble?  I can say things more succinctly by writing them.  I think a podcast is interesting when it&#8217;s a small group discussion or an interview with interesting people.  I&#8217;ve never gotten around to recording either scenario, so I never published a podcast&#8230;until now.</p>
<p>In a <a href="http://www.optoblog.com/2008/05/28/1800contacts-and-facial-tissue/">previous post I linked to a YouTube snippet</a> of the CEO of 1-800 CONTACTS, Jonathan Coon, giving a speech to Wal-Mart optometrists.  Posting the entire video from the DVD would take too much bandwidth, but I managed to scrape the audio to share with you.  So it&#8217;s not really my podcast, but it is a step in the right direction.</p>
<p>Again, if I get a legal letter from 1-800 or Wal-Mart demanding that I remove the content, I will of course comply; however, they did send this DVD to every Wal-Mart optometrist, and some of those optometrists also work in private practice settings.  Also, this presentation defends 1-800 CONTACTS and Wal-Mart&#8217;s partnership better than anything I&#8217;ve heard.  So, I think you will agree that every optometrist who is interested should listen to this talk (or watch it if you can borrow it from your nearest Wal-Mart Vision Center).</p>
<p>Enjoy.
