In this episode of the Savvy Dentist Podcast, Daryl shares his lessons about business and life across the journey of the 1300-Smiles story. From the early days in partnership with another dentist … through to building out six practices of multiple chairs … to listing the business on the ASX and the process that entails … to managing a listed company.
