How do you create a career that's successful without sacrificing the life you want to live?
In this episode of The Pauline Chilton Show, I'm joined by Dr. Alan Stern, an award-winning speaker, coach, author, and retired dentist with more than 42 years of experience helping people build better businesses—and more meaningful lives.
After retiring from dentistry in 2023, Dr. Stern founded Better Richer Stronger, where he coaches dentists to create productive, profitable practices while building lives filled with purpose, energy, and fulfillment. He is also the author of Enjoy the Ride, a book that encourages readers to step off the day-to-day treadmill and intentionally create their preferred future.
During our conversation, we discuss leadership, personal growth, health, resilience, workplace culture, finding renewed purpose, and what it really means to enjoy the journey instead of simply chasing the next goal.
Dr. Stern has been recognized as the Nifty Award's Most Inspiring Dental Professional in both 2023 and 2024, was elected a Fellow of the American College of Dentists, and continues to inspire audiences through his speaking and coaching. His commitment to wellness extends beyond his career, as he and his wife, Fran, have embraced a healthier lifestyle together—proving that it's never too late to pursue bigger goals.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, business owner, entrepreneur, leader, or simply looking for inspiration to create a healthier, more intentional life, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and encouragement.
