  • You are amazing

    Thank you, Paul. I am an associate dentist about 1.5 years out of dental school, and even though I’m not an owner, your real-life dentistry discussions have felt like therapy to me. My morning drive to work usually starts with your podcasts, which truly recharge me.

    You probably don’t realize how much of a difference you make, but your honest and practical discussions have been incredibly meaningful to me as a frustrated and sometimes confused fresh grad working as an associate. Thank you for ev... more

    Etch gives real world advice that’s great for anyone in their dental journey. I would have given anything to have this available when I was in dental school. There are lots of dental coaches out there willing to give you their Magic bullet to make you successful. I am 100% positive that this podcast has been influential in taking my practice to a place I never thought possible. Thanks Paul for all you do!

5 Things Missing From Your Life: Why Successful Dentists Still Aren’t Happy with Corey Keyes
Q: What practical step would you recommend for someone listening who feels successful yet languishing right now?
Familiarize yourself with the 14 measures of flourishing and languishing, then pick one area to improve this month, such as deepening a meaningful relationship or engaging in a personally meaningful learning activity, and deliberately schedule it into daily life.
5 Things Missing From Your Life: Why Successful Dentists Still Aren’t Happy with Corey Keyes
Q: What are the five vitamins of flourishing and how can dentists start applying them in their lives today?
The five vitamins are learning, connection, helping others, spirituality, and play. Start by identifying one element to add this month—like a meaningful learning goal, a closer friendship, volunteering, practicing spirituality or mindfulness, or scheduling a playful activity with family—so that you begin to experience daily moments of growth and meaning.
5 Things Missing From Your Life: Why Successful Dentists Still Aren’t Happy with Corey Keyes
Q: I'm not striving. Can you explain the dual continuum and how languishing fits into mental health beyond the absence of illness?
Languishing is the in-between state where someone is neither mentally ill nor flourishing; it's characterized by a lack of meaningful well-being and purpose, and it increases risk for future mental health problems, making it essential to address even when there's no clinical diagnosis.
Stop the Bleeding: How Cancellations Quietly Destroy Profit with Carrie Webber
Q: How should we handle cancellations effectively at the practice level?
Move from reactive policies to proactive communication, train staff to articulate value, and implement a system-wide approach beginning with the initial phone call and through to checkout to ensure patients understand the benefits of keeping appointments.
Stop the Bleeding: How Cancellations Quietly Destroy Profit with Carrie Webber
Q: What should we do on the telephone to build value from the first call?
Focus on controlled, proactive questions, lead the patient toward scheduling, and avoid simply asking when they want to come in; steer the conversation to determine the best fit time and reinforce the importance of the visit.
