Eye Care, First Class Upgrades, and Relationship-First Travel (With Joel Ciolek)

Physician assistant in ophthalmology Joel Ciolek explains why “physician assistant” is not the same as “physician’s assistant,” and why the difference matters. Joel also shares a travel move: booking a hotel just hours before check-in for a steep discount, plus a hyper-specific gate-agent line that has gotten surprise upgrades when seats open up.
