Suzanne calls out Dr. Nova's metrics and gives exact courses of action. Helping cash-pay patients accept larger treatment plans, transitioning from one to two hygiene columns, and how to be firm on collecting A/R while still helping those patients come back.

"Do your due diligence". Steven Beard and Dr. Matt Ford explain exactly how. You could spend days and days doing due diligence before buying. But these two break down what's most important. Plus, a primer on EBITDA.

Richard introduces us to his peers--and friends--Todd Haskin and Christopher Vanderpool. Together we offer a taste of what's normal for mastermind members: community, revealing each other's blindspots, and celebrating victories. Today it's all about cutting the fat out of your systems, watching your practice grow, and accepting change.

Alex presents a sneak peak into some of the coursework we offer. In the second portion of Richard's interview with Morgan from Provide (formerly Lendeavor) we get nitty gritty. Grab a pad and paper, rewind, pause, and soak this in. How to structure your loan, how to navigate pre-payment penalties, and we even touch on lending for startups.

"Jordan" found a five-operatory, solo-doc practice in an ideal area. With it not being a fixer-upper, and it collecting $900k, it's ticking all the boxes for him. But Dr. Matt Ford reigns him in and talks about seller financing, how to keep a fire under your lender so they give you what you want, and when to just go for it.

Richard welcomes back Dr. Megan Timm. In today's Brain Trust roundtable, Megan shares why she knew she was going to be an owner right out of school, how she found her current practice(s), and why hygiene openings are her absolute best friend.
