Dentist vs. Dentist: What I Know, You Know! (E.9)
Josey Sewell, Former DSO COO and Clinical Leadership Expert, Reveals Dentistry's Uncomfortable Truth: Nobody Wants to Manage the Doctors.
Josey Sewell pulls back the curtain on the industry's most avoided conversation: Despite building org charts for hundreds of dental groups, she's never seen a hand immediately raise when it's time to fill the clinical director seat. The excuse? "Dentists don't need to be managed." The reality? Associates are starving for mentorship while groups burn through talent, and female dentists are being systematically bullied by teams—yet leadership turns a blind eye because they're too afraid to have the conversation.
Key Revelations:
The Clinical Leadership Vacuum
💡 The "Ask Ken" Question:
"What's the ONE report a dentist owner should demand monthly to keep it simple?"
Ken's answer: Forget all the complex reports—there's only one metric that truly matters: Are you generating cash or burning it? Look at your statement of cash flows, find "cash from operations," subtract your capex, and you'll know instantly if you're building wealth or hemorrhaging money. If you're on cash-basis accounting and can't access this, demand your team figure it out—because this number tells the truth when everything else is just noise.

Many business owners focus solely on profit margins, but cash flow tells the real story. A profitable company can still fail if it can't generate enough cash to sustain operations, pay debts, or fund growth initiatives.
