Key Quotes:
- “The stuff you don’t really want to address, those are the things that you get the most leverage on when you do address them.”
- “Once you have momentum, be a healthy level of paranoid that you don’t lose momentum because you can use that force of nature to your advantage and create a mega competitive advantage.”
- “We have to define the game that we’re playing and the rules of engagement.”
- “Everyone in your practice, no matter how logical they are, is still an emotional creature.”
- “Team building requires an aggressive communication cadence. You can’t leave this to chance. You can’t do it on the fly. You have to set aside time for communication.”
- “More of your patients will refer you if you are good about requesting and recognizing the referrals. So make it easy for patients to refer you.”
- “Your most vocal patients, those one-star reviewers, sometimes seem like they’re kind of lunatics. But there may be some truth in what they’re telling you. So don’t be so proud to write them off.”
- “If you want to win at the game of practice ownership, you will stop being a dentist and start being a marketer of dental services.”
- “Commitment is a 100% word. And if you feel like you’re not building confidence, use this as a diagnostic tool. It may mean that you’re just not committed to the clear outcome you just created.”

Key Quotes:
- “Power is value exchange per unit of time. So the more value you add and the less time you do it in, that’s how you increase power. So I think a lot of us as dentists were in denial of power because we’ve seen the misuse of power, which means power that’s uncoupled from integrity.”
- “Power coupled with integrity is really what you want in a business. It’s how you maximize value.”
- “There’s something I’ve talked about several times in this podcast that I’ve used very effectively as a clinician. And that’s called release tension, set intention.”
- “People respect you when they know you will say no to certain things. If you’re just this kind of floppy-noodle people-pleaser personality, they tend to respect you less and take you less seriously.”
- “When we are living consistently with our values, we’re just more powerful.”
- “We had different principles that kind of would pop up to solve different problems, but one consistent principle was ‘never let ’em see you sweat.'”
