The Dentalpreneur Podcast w/ Dr. Mark Costes 2266: Million-Dollar Burnout & the Four Futures Framework Pt. 1
On today’s Part 1 episode, Dr. Mark Costes joins Matt Uhler for an open and impactful conversation about building—and nearly breaking—his dental career. Mark shares the early days of his entrepreneurial journey, from buying his first practice sight unseen to growing six locations and eventually scaling to sixteen. But behind the growth was chaos: burnout, poor systems, and a personal life unraveling. Mark walks through the turning point that led him to sell most of his practices, rebuild with intention, and create his “Four Futures” framework—an approach to balancing money, meaning, muscle, and mindfulness. You’ll also hear how Mark started the world’s #1 dental podcast and why he believes success means much more than just hitting financial milestones.
