What happens when a dentist's unexpected knee surgery becomes the catalyst for a financial education revolution? Dr. James Martin, founder of Dentists Who Invest, shares his remarkable journey from clinical practice to creating a thriving platform helping dental professionals achieve financial freedom.
Martin's story begins with a familiar feeling many professionals experience—the nagging question of "is this all there is?" Despite enjoying aspects of clinical dentistry after graduating from Leeds in 2016, he found himself drawn to learning about finance and investment strategies. "I thought this is what adults do," he explains, not realizing these self-taught skills would eventually form the foundation of his future business.
The turning point came during recovery from knee surgery in 2020, when Martin created a Facebook group to share basic financial knowledge with fellow dentists. What started as simple educational posts about ISAs and pensions organically evolved as members reached out for personalized guidance. This natural demand led to courses, partnerships with financial advisors, and eventually establishing a regulated financial planning firm specifically for dental professionals.
Martin's insights into entrepreneurship are refreshingly honest. "A calm sea never made a strong sailor," he shares, emphasizing that resilience and the ability to view setbacks as learning opportunities are crucial for success. His approach to networking—making time for everyone who reaches out and maintaining positive relationships even through difficult interactions—has been instrumental in building his business.
