I recently appeared on the Group Dentistry Now podcast hosted by Bill Neumann. We covered a LOT of ground together and hit almost every aspect of the industry. Bill was nice enough to share the audio file, so for those who didn't hear it, here it is. And for those who did, you know it's worth a second listen. Enjoy!

Every business hits a stage where revenue stalls, so how should we think about that phase? And what should we do to influence the next phase of growth?
