    This is absolutely the one podcast I look most forward to listening to every week. I find myself wishing there were episodes to listen to multiple times a week or even daily. The topics are diverse, the content is engaging, and every week I walk away feeling inspired and ready to keep inching the bar higher on where my practice and career can go. Love this podcast!!!

  • A must for every practice owner

    I love listening to this on my morning commute to my office! Guests are interesting and engaging, forcing you to think outside the bubble of dentistry. Dr. Lune’s content is clearly messaged and to the point. Highly recommend to my owner colleagues!

  • Approachable/relevant/interesting

    I really appreciate your interview style. You often give the guests the space to shine while always tying the discussion back to the practical realities we face as dentists.

    The way you broke down why certain DSO offers may not be as good as they appear was clear, concise, and incredibly well-articulated.

    The podcast makes a complex topic easier to understand and directly relevant to everyday practice. See you in Toronto!

  • Great Tip About Exams!

    My favorite podcasts are the ones where it’s mainly Scott or someone in the Dental Industry is talking. I’m not a huge fan of listening to non-dental speakers (I usually go to the end and listen to Scott’s recap and how it applies to dentistry). Scott has a wealth of knowledge!
