  • 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.

2632: The Retirement Gap Practice Owners Overlook
Q: Can you explain what a buy-sell agreement is and how it needs to be done correctly?
Brown describes it as a binding contract covering what happens to an owner's shares in cases such as death or disability, including how the business is valued and purchased. He advises owners to work with a business attorney and keep the agreement's valuation and funding current.
2632: The Retirement Gap Practice Owners Overlook
Q: Can you go over the basics of the defined benefit plan?
Brown explains that a defined benefit plan targets a future benefit and may permit larger tax-deductible contributions than a defined contribution plan such as a 401(k). Cash balance plans are a common form for dental offices, with contribution limits determined through analysis of the owner and staff.
2634: What Happens After You Get Out of Clinical Dentistry?
Q: What does your experience without clinical dentistry, while still being a multiple practice owner, feel like?
Dove says ownership work creates value less directly and with slower results than clinical production. He initially felt a loss of structure and productivity, so he now visits clinics, meets teams and doctors, addresses problems, and works on hiring and practice development.
2634: What Happens After You Get Out of Clinical Dentistry?
Q: What did you do to turn around the failing practice, and how long did it take?
Dove rebuilt much of the team, focused on patient care, reviewed which insurance plans were worthwhile, went out of network for some plans, and brought in new patients. The practice stopped losing money within six months, and he began paying himself after a year.
2627: Simple Rules That Shape a Stronger Dental Practice
Q: What does the implementation of a core-values creation day look like?
Killeen recommends setting aside about an hour, gathering team input, then reviewing the ideas over one or two weeks before the owner finalizes them and defines how they should appear in everyday behavior.
