2371: Building a Practice That Doesn’t Run You Into the Ground

All Posts

On today’s episode, it’s a special crossover where I sat down with Ian de Jongh on his podcast, Bite-Sized Dental Marketing. We had a wide-ranging conversation on burnout, business ownership, team building, and what it really takes to thrive in today’s version of dentistry. I shared how a traumatic baseball injury shifted my path toward dentistry, and how entrepreneurship became a core part of that journey.

We covered why burnout is so common in the profession, how dentists often create businesses that become prisons, and why systemization and extreme ownership are non-negotiables for long-term success. From staffing shortages to private equity trends, this episode hits on the real challenges—and opportunities—facing dentists right now.
