The Shared Practices Podcast - Archives

Grab a pen & paper for this one. Andrew and Dr. Matt Ford rehearse their Analytics Based Pre-Ownerhship presentation on us. Oct 7-8 in Scottsdale, for those who haven't heard. But right now we talk practice models and why we haven't talked about the "super solo" practice in a while.

Where PBN was once an analytics company, it is now a *platform*. That distinction reveals the one reason we're back using Practice By Numbers.

As Richard says, "I'm less interested in what practice owners are doing with analytics without a coach, and more interested in how we can help them with the right analytics platform through coaching."

Listen in for our robust history with PBN, and why not using it made our stomachs turn.

Since appearing on the show May 20, 2022, Kent Miller and Dentagraphics released a big update they call Dentalgraphics 3.0. The 2.0 version had a centralized list of practices (and their demos) to sort through. Data is at the heart of what they do. Which brings us to today: he and Steven talk about how they help pre-owners Start, Buy, Grow.

From The Dentist Money Show, our friend Matt Mulcock joins us. There's a reason Shared Practices and The Dentist Money have a successful history together. Dentist Advisors' has frameworks for dental students, robust earners (even if they're still in debt), growing owners, and way more. We want you to accomplish your financial goals—with or without Dentist Advisors (you'll see why we recommend WITH).

Following up on our Jan 5, 2022 interview, Dr. Doom has now settled into his rural practice. He purchased from the doc who gave him his first job. After working with the seller for a couple months, and Dr. Doom quickly netted 6 more staff! Is this guy really going to work at ONE PRACTICE for his entire career? Let's see what he likes and what he hates about his rural acquisition several months in.

We are in the process of adding legal services in-house as part of our buyers representation services at Shared Practices. We're currently working with attorney Daniel Saylor to make it happen. There's a lot of red tape to essentially becoming part law firm, but we're here to confront our (and your) complicated relationship with "the legal stuff".

Our very own Christie Larson joins us. Having worked in dental for over a decade, she's now giving us pre-owners a preview of the coaching we can expect in the future. If she could go back in time and tell her clients--before they were owners--how to set up for success, THIS is what she'd tell them.

When we released our new patient phone call episodes, we noticed something: offices fumble phone calls because offices don't have an etiquette standard. Go back and listen to the episode published June 20, 2022. You'll notice skilled employees--excellent employees. But you'll also notice a lack of standard phone etiquette. Richard and co-host Caitlin Shoemaker return to teach phone etiquette and a lot more.

What's Tyler Tolbert been up to for the past YEAR? Today he reclaims the show as he sits down with Steven and Andrew. We talk his exploits jumping into a rewarding position, his first surgery as a licensed dentist, and why he's happy to be back where he started.

Our guest is driven and he's changing lives every day. Richard catches up with this old classmate and friend. He happens to be running one of our denture & implant offices in Reno. With a truly amazing start to his career, check out why he's now left everything aside and is changing lives everyday in Reno.
