    As a practice owner, I can honestly say The Bulletproof Dental Practice pod is one of the most impactful resources out there. Every episode feels like a candid conversation with colleagues and mentors who understand the realities of building and scaling a modern dental practice—the business, the leadership, and the mindset behind it all.

    It’s inspiring, practical, and refreshingly real. I find myself taking notes after nearly every episode. Highly recommend for any dentist serious about growth ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MyStory: $6M, 35 Employees, and a Leadership Problem
Q: What is the core leadership challenge you're trying to solve as you scale to more locations?
The guest describes needing to switch from managing every detail to building a leadership layer that can run operations independently while maintaining a strong culture and vision.
MyStory #1: Dr. Brown's Reappointment Fix
Q: What targets were set for reappointment and reviews?
Reappointment rate targeted at 75-80% starting from a clean slate, and a goal of 8 reviews per month (with a push toward 100 reviews by year-end) to drive referrals and social proof.
MyStory #1: Dr. Brown's Reappointment Fix
Q: What is the biggest prognosticator of future months for Cary's practice?
The pre-appointment rate was identified as the key predictor; increasing it is seen as the primary lever to stabilize revenue and reduce volatility, with a benchmark goal of about 75-80% in the near term.
Can Membership Plans Replace Insurance?
Q: What would be your argument that Clerri membership could be net simplifying for a practice?
A membership platform reduces reliance on PPOs, increases patient retention, and provides clearer pricing and financing options, making it easier for teams to manage enrollments and for patients to access care without battling insurer roadblocks.
The Outsourced Team Member
Q: Can you share an example of a practice where we would say, this is probably not the right fit for you from what you've seen?
Cory explains that they are not the right fit for practices looking for an instant solution or not treating the remote workers as part of their team.
