What happens when intense focus and sheer determination meet intense focus and sheer determination? You set goals and you reach them, over and over again. In fact, you don’t understand when others don’t get it. It’s so natural. That’s what we learned in our conversation with Dr. Julie Lehr.

Athlete, dentist, entrepreneur, mom and force of nature when it comes to chasing goals. She went from small-town sports fields to building one of the largest privately owned dental practices in her region. Along the way, she discovered that the same grit that made her a captain on the basketball court could carry her through professional trials, business risks, and leadership growth.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The power of focus and how Julie’s vision on goals shaped her path from childhood to career
• Lessons from failure and why three “wrong fit” jobs turned out to be the best training ground for entrepreneurship
• Team over self and the leadership insights Julie carried from high school sports into running a 25-operatory dental practice
• Building from scratch and what it took to start and grow a thriving business while raising a young family
• Why certainty and courage matter, and how Julie helps her team see what is possible for themselves
