In this episode, I’m reflecting on a major milestone: five years since COVID-19 upended our lives, especially in dentistry.

While it might feel like too soon to talk about, I can’t shake the memories of those chaotic first months. So today, I’m sharing five real stories from the early days of COVID—from a client who saw it coming to a new practice owner who had the worst timing ever. We’ll also dive into what we learned about banking relationships, tax credits, and financial behavior.

What You’ll Learn:

• How unpredictable the world can be—and why preparation beats prediction.
• The importance of banking relationships (looking at you, Wells Fargo).
• How the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) turned into the Wild West of accounting.
• Why “free money” didn’t change bad spending habits.
