For many general dentistry practices and emerging groups, the Hygiene Department is typically an area of untapped potential. It's also a department where a little focus and some moderate change management can yield outsized returns. Rachel Wall, Founder of Inspired Hygiene, is someone I've known for over 25 years and I've been fortunate to see her work up close and personal. And now I'm thrilled to have Inspired Hygiene as a business partner going into 2026. This episode is just a taste of what's to come for the members in the Next Level Executive program. Enjoy!

I've had quite a few "one-on-one sessions" with the members of the Executive program and I'm hearing a familiar refrain: "WOW, these are great businesses to own." Yes, they are!

We've all been living in an echo chamber of "DSO Conference of the Month" sessions lately. I recently attended the Freedom Founders "Real Wealth Conference" in Dallas and it was beyond enlightening. Dr. David Phelps joins me behind the mic today to dive deep into things like: his personal journey; what "freedom" really means; concepts like counter-party risk; what a full economic cycle is; and different aspects of the conference itself. Buckle up because there's a TON in this one!

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. To learn more about Dr. Agarwal:

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!
As we roll into 2026, I will be sharing some interviews with a few curated company relationships. These are companies I know and trust, and people whose opinions I value. My intention is to share these collaborations with my audience of subscribers in members in hopes that they are equally beneficial to each of you.
My interview on today's spotlight is with Ali Oromchian, Esq., CEO & Founder of HR for Health.

Many of you will be considering bringing in a partner at some point.

In this episode, I give you six major points to consider as well as one more to contemplate on your own. If 2026 is going to be the year you bring in a partner, listen to this episode well in advance of that event!

A few weeks ago, I shared a presentation at the Patterson DSO Summit in L.A. Inevitably there were a few questions from the audience as well as some conversations in between sessions that centered around acquisitions and growth strategy. I decided to take some of that "raw material" and craft it into a podcast episode. Here are 4 ways you should approach "preparing for growth" and 4 ways to think about "sizing up the risks" involved.

Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they’re not the same. As a Business Executive, your success depends on your ability to lead through key Inflection Points in the life of your business. As an Entrepreneurial Leader, you must also know how to draw on the hard-won wisdom of Advisors to break through Ceilings of Complexity. In this episode, I unpack the differences between the two and explore why mastering both is essential for long-term growth.

I also have first-hand experience in working with clients where our expectations we're aligned. This episode is dedicated to those creating service offerings and those seeking service offerings. Oh...it's also incredibly useful for those in leadership roles developing new talent underneath them!

Consider this to be "Part 2" from the prior episode about selling your business. Here are five critical questions that you need to ask yourself (and answer) long before you decide to go to market.
