  • Episode 9: Lisa
    Dr. Lisa Creaven chats to me about her journey from starting her own dental practice to then creating her own brand, Spotlight Oral Care. The busy Mum of 3 (Nearly 4!) tells me how she strikes a good work life balance, tries not to think too far ahead and also some oral care do's and don'ts. 
    Lisa is a mine of knowledge in all things business and dentistry and with her hard working nature it is no surprise she has built such a successful brand which in its infancy, has taken the world by storm. 
    Her story is so inspiring and I think we can all learn a lot from this chat. I hope you enjoy it.
