- Finding Your ‘Why’ - Who Do You Want To Be in 20 Years? with Dr. Mike DelukeWhen clinicians start their journey into dentistry, it looks like there’s a clear path from school, a career in dentistry and ultimately, a prosperous retirement. However, choosing your health, quality of life and time with family must be prioritized to live the life you dreamed of.
In this episode, Dr. Brett Gilbert interviews the ‘Ortho Coach’ himself, Dr. Mike Deluke. Dr. Deluke takes us on his incredible journey from the epitome of clinical orthodontic practice to his current role as an educator, coach, and podcaster.
Armed with extensive clinical expertise and the ability to look inside of himself, Dr. Deluke shares the importance of understanding and finding your "why" in both professional and personal realms, how gratitude, vision, and courage have played pivotal roles in his trajectory, and the stresses of managing a successful practice and the eventual burnout that led him to transition away from clinical work.
This episode is rich in insights on balancing life, cultivating ambition, and finding fulfillment beyond traditional definitions of success.
