  • 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.

2556: The Capacity Trap That Holds Practices Back
Q: How do you coach practice owners to develop faster decision-making muscles without sacrificing their analytic nature?
Set hard deadlines for decisions to combat Parkinson's law and recognize that many decisions do not have to be permanent; move forward with imperfect choices when delays cost patients and growth, and vet candidates thoroughly but avoid paralysis by analysis.
2556: The Capacity Trap That Holds Practices Back
Q: What does every dentist need from day one for building an outside partner team and when should you add or upgrade as you scale?
Establish a personal board of directors including a business attorney familiar with dentistry, a true fiduciary financial advisor, a knowledgeable CPA and bookkeeper, a tax advisor, and a performance coach or therapist for resilience; ensure all members know each other and meet quarterly to align on strategy.
2556: The Capacity Trap That Holds Practices Back
Q: If you are starting all over again as a new grad dentist looking to design your life, what route would you choose in ownership? Solo practice, single group practice, or multiple offices?
There isn't one right answer; assess your capacity to scale, target practices that can be grown into multi-provider locations, and avoid overly rural setups that hinder recruitment and expansion. Focus on building a flagship practice first with solid systems, then consider expansion when the practice is robust.
2558: How to Find Opportunity in an Uncertain Real Estate Market
Q: Let's talk about due diligence. How big is your team and what does your due-diligence process look like before purchasing a deal?
We self-manage with a large on-site ops team; due diligence includes surveys, environmental reports, supply ratios, and a clear plan to verify we can reach projected NOI within a few years.
2558: How to Find Opportunity in an Uncertain Real Estate Market
Q: Here's a quick question for practice owners. How much time does your front desk spend retyping forms, verifying insurance or calling back online appointment requests?
That workflow friction slows growth. Solutions like integrated workflows and automation can eliminate bottlenecks, accelerate scheduling, and improve overall efficiency.
