As we roll into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I wanted to take a few minutes and reflect on things I'm grateful for and, more importantly, people to whom I'm grateful. This has been an epic first year for my new business, and there are so many who have made it possible far more than I could've done on my own.
Dr. Tarun Agarwal is probably a known name to many of you - and for good reason. He has literally done it all in the world of dentistry. He's also a good friend of mine, so he was gracious enough to grab a microphone and dive deep with me into some very important topics. You're going to love this episode.

When someone asks me why they should join the Next Level Executive program, I frequently tell them that "I already know the top 10 to 12 mistakes you're going to make, so why would you want to start at number one?!" Well, what exactly are those "top 10 to 12" mistakes people make? Upon reflection, there are a LOT more than 10 to 12. I stopped my list at 20 that I see with alarming regularity, so I figured I'd share them in a podcast - or two! Get your pad and pen ready!
