Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Dr. Brett Kessler, Past President of the American Dental Association, for a candid conversation about what really happens inside the ADA advocacy, budgets, member value, and why unified dentistry matters right now.

They unpack:

⦁ How Dr. Kessler’s leadership journey started (and why “getting involved” isn’t a secret club)

⦁ What the ADA tackled this past year: wellness, advocacy, fluoride legislation, and organizational restructuring

⦁ Why member dues matter and what happens when dentists “check out”

⦁ How the ADA approaches DSOs, insurance, and professional autonomy

⦁ What’s next: Oral Health 2050 and the future of oral health delivery

In this episode, Dr. Glenn Vo brings back a long-time friend of the community: Aaron Boone, former pro football player, CEO & founder of MVP Mailhouse.

If you think direct mail is “old school,” you haven’t seen what MVP is doing.

Aaron and his team have mailed over 100 million postcards for dentists and track everything... from where your best patients live, to which offers they respond to, to how your front desk handles every call. This isn’t “spray and pray” mailing. This is data-driven direct mail built to generate revenue, not just phone calls.

You’ll hear how MVP Mailhouse:

⦁ Maps where your BEST patients already come from (down to neighborhoods)

⦁ Targets their neighbors instead of wasting money mailing your existing patients

⦁ Tracks every call with unique numbers for each mailing and area

⦁ Scores front desk performance and helps you improve conversions

⦁ Matches each new patient and dollar back to the homes that got the mailers …so you finally know your true ROI from direct mail.

💥 Nifty Thrifty Deal – MVP Mailhouse

✔ FREE MapIQ™ Patient Heatmap Analysis and Direct Mail Proposal

✔ $500 OFF Your First Mailing! (on 10k order) *New Customers only

✔ FREE 500 Referral Handout Cards ($500 Value!)
