  • 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

Why You Can't Leave Your Work Stress at the Office w/ Neo Positivity

Why You Can't Leave Your Work Stress at the Office w/ Neo Positivity
Q: Was there a moment in your personal life where your mindset failed you and led you to your current work?

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.
