In this episode, I’m joined by social researcher, Mark McCrindle. It’s no secret our society is changing rapidly, with new technology and changes in population and demographics. But what effect does this have on businesses and those in the health-care sector in particular?

I spoke with Mark about what the changing social trends suggest, how dentists can establish trust in times of change and more.
