On today’s Part 1 episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes back Troy Eckard for another deep dive into the macroeconomic trends shaping today’s investing environment. As one of the most downloaded guests in Dentalpreneur Podcast history, Troy brings 40 years of oil and gas experience to the table, helping dentists and high-income professionals understand how to navigate an uncertain market. The two discuss the current global liquidity crisis, rising interest rates, and why so many private equity deals are stalling.

Troy breaks down what he learned from the 2008 crash and shares why having dry powder—and the courage to use it—is critical in downturns. He also makes the case for oil and gas as an alternative investment that offers not only strong returns, but also aggressive tax benefits, especially for high earners. With powerful lessons on emotional discipline, long-term thinking, and investing like you’re on the brink of retirement, this episode is packed with clarity for anyone looking to protect and grow their wealth in today’s economic landscape.
