  • Very knowledgeable and asks great questions!

    Dr Costes asked excellent questions and we covered exciting developments in AI, the surprising way Tim Ferriss monetized The Four-Hour Workweek, why every leader and expert needs a book to leverage the #3 search engine (Amazon), and more! We covered the 3 steps to effective communication (what, who, wow!), how to turn words into wealth, and how Kickstarter can add buzz and a lucrative additional income stream.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2566: How Dentists Can Build Wealth With Intention
Q: What should a new graduate do first to set themselves up for financial success?
Build liquidity, take advantage of any 401(k) match, and avoid rushing debt payoff to the point where you sacrifice essential cash flow; start with a plan that focuses on both short-term liquidity and long-term wealth-building through strategic investments in yourself and your practice.
2564: Building Better Dentists Through Better Education
Q: What types of education are dentists seeking most today?
Dentists are seeking a mix of clinical and technology-driven education, with a strong demand for hands-on experiences, practical workflow integration, and personalized education programs that fit DSOs and study groups.
2559: The Lease Mistakes That Can Sink Your Dental Practice
Q: What are some of the most common things you've seen that could go wrong if you are not represented and you can't spot the traps in a lease?
Common issues include missing the true term expiry and renewal deadlines, failure to address personal guarantees, and not negotiating favorable base rents or TI allowances, which over time can dramatically raise operating costs or hamper sale proceeds. A line-by-line lease review and market comparison can uncover hidden terms and provide negotiable leverage.
2562: The Back Office Automation Every Practice Owner Should Understand
Q: How does Lassie handle insurance eligibility versus actual payments, and when will insurance eligibility be fully automated?
Lassie prioritizes posting and payments first, with eligibility and verification coming later; the company has a roadmap aiming for a robust eligibility product within eight to twelve months, but it won't release until it's clearly better than a human for accuracy.
2562: The Back Office Automation Every Practice Owner Should Understand
Q: What areas of the practice require humans to run a system like Lassie, and where are the gaps?
Humans are still needed for oversight, change management, and handling edge cases, but the AI can take over the repetitive posting and reconciliation tasks, reducing manual workload and allowing staff to focus more on patient care.
