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.'”

Very soon this traditional model will become utterly obsolete, and the only way for humans to stay in the game will be to keep learning throughout their lives, and to reinvent themselves repeatedly. Many if not most humans may be unable to do so.” — Yuval Noah Harari
