Key Quotes:

  • “Dentistry should be about helping patients, building meaningful relationships, and creating a positive impact on your community.”
  • “Don’t chase surface success. It leads to burnout, strained relationships, and a hollow sense of achievement.”
  • “When your practice is in values alignment, everything changes because we reduce friction. You and your team are playing to your strengths. You’re fostering an environment where everyone thrives.”
  • “Deep winners are here for all of it… They don’t live in the delusion that life should be ups without the downs.”
