  • Changed my life.

    Everybody. I’m a coaching client of Paul. And before I was with him I was lost. He doesn’t coach you on the X’s and the O’s. he develops you into a leader. Leadership is such a hard thing to do. It’s the thing none of us want to do. But the only way you’ll get to a place in your life whete one plus one equals three is to get your team to want to do things on their own and have fulfillment while they do it. This podcast is a wonderful resource and if you’re listening to it, you’re doing the righ... more

  • 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
