He's closing tomorrow on a better way better one. Check it out as our own Dr. Matt Ford helps him with last minute vetting and what to do once he's on-site tomorrow.

Our own multi-practice owner Dr. Matt Ford has recently sold one of his four offices. Almost all our services are from the buyer side. But today Steven teases out of Matt the dirty details about selling. Listen and learn the moving parts behind the seller.

Following up on our June 6th episode, "Dr. Balboa" is back. After trudging the long, lonely road of ownership, this doc is ready to dive into his metrics and listen to Suzanne. We're closing that "backdoor", retaining more patients, and putting Dr. Balboa's payroll problems in the past forever.

A cool distinction among practices (and among future practice owner avatars—you guys!) is the D0120 (recurrant type dentistry) and the D0140 (more transactional-based dentistry). What does a recurring revenue type of practice look like? A transactional? Andrew makes Steven expand on this powerful distinction.

Richard and Alex kick off Shared Practices' book club. BOOK CLUB IS FOR YOUR TEAM. Some of our own practice team members, we found, either aren't into books, audio books, or podcasts or anything. So we needed a way to make innovative concepts accessible to them. This episode introduces that concept and we'll have later episodes where your team can listen to (and quickly benefit from) our study of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. We're studying one dysfunction at a time and today we touch on lack of trust.
