#26 The £4.58 Million Compensation Payout: An HR Wake-Up Call with Sarah Buxton
Q: What are the key points dental practice owners should be mindful of in the current employment landscape?

#25 Getting Your Health Back on the Agenda, with George Vernon
Q: Take me through the new client journey and what happens from onboarding to first coaching session.
The host asks for a step-by-step onboarding flow; the guest explains a concise process: onboarding video, initial plan of action with constraints, a short education course tailored for dentists, and calendar integration for coaching calls.
#24 Why Colin Campbell bought my business
Q: But when I say, why did you buy my company?
Colin explains that the acquisition was about aligning values, enabling a broader, value-based service model, and leveraging shared vision and infrastructure to enhance education and delivery through the Campbell Academy.
