"I Can't Afford It": Money Conversations in a Tight Economy
"I Can't Afford It": Money Conversations in a Tight Economy
Om denne podkasten
A dental podcast about the business of dentistry, with practical advice on what it actually takes to grow a successful practice: marketing, patient enrollment, systems, team leadership, retention and referrals, and how to build wealth that doesn't depend on your clinical days.
But a great practice is only half of it. This show is also about finding fulfillment in dentistry again, and having the honest conversations most dentists only have behind closed doors: burnout, money, partnerships gone wrong, team drama, and the pressure nobody talks about.
Real strategies, real talk, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Hosted by Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak.
