Feeling like corporate ortho is closing in? Think again.

In this brutally honest and motivational 5-Minute Friday episode, I get real about the fear-mongering flooding our industry—especially when it comes to OSOs and DSOs. If you’ve been told that you have to hire a consultant, or that you can’t compete with corporate money, this episode is your wake-up call. The truth? You’re not under attack. You’re just distracted.

Knowing where you're headed is the best and only strategy to get ahead. You need a plan; OSOs, DSOs, and Corporate Dentistry are not coming for you; in fact, they have nothing to do with your journey. Once you have a plan, you can get expert help to support you and teach what you need, and your practice will be more solid.
