Having developed his vision early, former precocious fourth year dental student Kevin Reardon has had a run for his money as recent graduate. Even before COVID he was familiar with frustration. Today, he updates Tyler and Payton on his second round of mailers, his bumpy transition into the practice, and why it's always important your doors are always open to the right people.

Real-doc-fake-name Dane and his practice partner have a startup underwater. With only five operatories (and two doctors), does this thing have room to grow? In the outro, Matt and George talk about the danger of deploying competing strategies, and the value of always betting on yourself.

After being gone from the show for a few months, former Shared Practices intern Aaron Fritsch gives a follow-up. Now working in private practice, Aaron shares two ubiquitous concerns from new grads, why those concerns are a non-issue in real life, and why being comfortable with strangers pays dividends that more than rival clinical mastery.

There are essentially two numbers you can manipulate to grow your practice: new patients per month, and production per patient per year. Richard and George explore the in-house financing structures that help us grow the second number: production per patient.

Former super listener and current Director of Mastermind at Shared Practices joins George today. Their experiences collide as each shares his own digest of the best takeaways from listening to (and creating) Practice Under Water.

Tyler and Matt have a great morning conversation wherein Matt helps us understand the context and ultimate benefits of an education interrupted by COVID. We also discuss how Tyler and his Covid-era classmates are gauging their readiness to be dentists in the real world, Matt's lingering solo mindset, feeling farther from graduation than ever. Among all the madness we learn...everything will be okay.

Dentist Advisors' founder and CEO Reese Harper joins us today, with his financial advisor associate (and favorite person) Will Gochnour. For our season on Growth, Reese and Will explore conflicts that sabotage a group practice, the focus of dentistry-specific advisors, and the emotional weight of wondering whether your financial strategy is fighting itself.

We'll be back with guests next week, but as George and Matt finish up their four-part series together, they give us a comprehensive history of Shared Practices...so far. The time-sucking (but fun) project it was in the beginning, Matt coming onboard and giving Richard and George the kick in the butt they needed...all the way to the purposeful launch of meaningful resources for ambitious dentists everywhere.
