Send us Fan Mail

How do you handle it when your practice is bleeding money right under your nose? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some jaw-dropping stories – like a practice with nearly $3 million tied up in 90-day plus aging, and another where the team is stealing close to $50k every month. Yes, you read that right.

This isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about facing these challenges head-on and defining your leadership journey when things go wrong. I’ll share real-life stories from dental offices that shed light on what it means to deal with a schedule that keeps falling apart and embezzlement that can cripple your practice.

We’ll explore how to spot competence over confidence in your team, and why learning to do this can save you heartache in the long run. Remember, there’s no such thing as a self-made leader – it’s about the team you build and how you navigate the challenges together.

If you’re ready to tackle the tough realities of leadership, business growth, and protecting your practice, this episode is for you. Let’s get real about what it takes to lead with intention and create a lasting impact. Ready to dive in?
