In today’s Part 2 episode, Dr. Mark returns with a powerful message on the critical importance of practice infrastructure over sheer production. From leadership and culture assessments to systemization, He shares the real metrics that matter in dental practice ownership. He emphasizes how many practices in the U.S. operate at 2% or even negative profitability—and what that means for your financial legacy.
Dr. Mark introduces foundational frameworks like the Six Pillars of Practice Optimization and the Four Futures—mind, meaning, muscle, and money—to help dentists achieve holistic success, not just financial wins. Drawing from his own experience of building six practices and achieving millionaire status only to find himself unfulfilled, Dr. Mark reminds us that success without balance is an illusion. He also touches on why dentistry is a hot target for private equity, the workforce crisis post-COVID, and how to think like a sophisticated business owner.
