The Dentalpreneur Podcast. Okay, doctor, it's time to put down that handpiece. You're listening to the show dedicated to helping dentists get their lives back. It's time to decrease your stress, increase your profitability, and regain your passion. Now introducing your host, Dr. Mark Costas.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Dentalpreneur Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Mark Costas. What's up, my friends? All right, guys. This excerpt was from a keynote presentation I did at an ASDA regional event. There's about 300 dental students in the room. Great event in Las Vegas. We talk about a lot of things, but specifically, I dig into why striving for a holistic versus an allopathic model is so important. is more beneficial in running a successful dental practice. I talk about why reactively treating symptoms in your dental practice isn't always the best way to fix a practice infrastructure. I discuss the benefits of creating a real operating system for your dental practice, the importance of affiliating yourself with people ahead of you in your practice and career journey. I discuss how to apply the basic tenets of stoicism to the hygiene shortage we're currently facing in dentistry. We talk about the quick and dirty formula for calculating dental practice profit. And finally, why it's a bad idea to focus on production and new patients during the foundational phase of building a practice infrastructure.
