In today's Part 2 episode, Dr. Mark Costes and Dr. Paul "Nacho" Goodman dive deep into what it really takes to build sustainable, freedom-giving dental practices—and they don’t hold back. The duo talks through the importance of proper associate onboarding, the risks of working interviews, and why most dentists are more willing to invest in a CBCT than a top-tier team member. Paul shares a revealing story about his wife's unexpected run-in with a trainee piercer, contrasting it with five-star staff training at Tavern on the Green. 

They unpack how building redundancy and a strong "bench" in your practice can be the key to lowering stress and unlocking true lifestyle flexibility. The conversation also zooms out to big-picture business lessons from NFL salary caps and sushi masters, and touches on current hiring trends from Paul's work at Dentist Job Connect.
