MB2 Underground

On this episode of MB2 Underground, Joe Fox welcomes his chiropractor Dr. Rob for a conversation about the physical demands of dentistry and how dental professionals can better protect their bodies throughout their careers.

Dr. Rob breaks down some of the most common issues he sees among dentists, including neck, back, shoulder, and wrist discomfort caused by long hours, repetitive movements, and working in fixed positions. He shares practical techniques dentists can use to improve mobility, reduce strain, and become more intentional about how they move both inside and outside the operatory.

The conversation also explores why pain should not simply be accepted as part of the profession, the importance of addressing small issues before they become larger problems, and how taking care of your body can support a longer, healthier career in dentistry.

On this episode of MB2 Underground, Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox welcome back Braden Wayne for a conversation on the legal side of selling a practice, and where things can go wrong if you're not prepared.

They walk through the most common issues that arise during a transaction, including entity structure and ownership, regulatory concerns, financial cleanup, and key agreements that can impact value.

Braden breaks down how these risks show up, how they affect valuation, and why deals often change between the initial offer and closing. They also talk through what dentists can do ahead of time to avoid delays, reduce risk, and add more value in their practice. A great reminder that preparation on the front end makes the entire process easier.
