Alex Sharp, CEO of Shared Practices Group, exposes the hidden cause of dental burnout: You're stressed because you're trying to be everything to everyone. The dentists thriving right now?

    💡 The "Ask Ken" Question:

    "How do I keep my lenders happy while growing my DSO?"

If you're close to tripping a covenant, collaborate early. Proactive communication builds banking relationships that actually support growth.
