The Dentalpreneur Podcast w/ Dr. Mark Costes 2353: Behind the Scenes of Dentistry and Reality Television
On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Randy Houska, a general dentist from South Dakota and one of the original co-founders of the Voices of Dentistry. Live from the VOD Lite event in Gilbert, Arizona, the two dive into Dr. Houska’s unique journey—from nearly four decades as a solo practitioner to finally bringing on his first associate, and how that transition has reshaped his practice and his life. But there’s more—Dr. Houska opens up about his family’s unexpected rise to fame through the MTV shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2, where his daughter Chelsea was a featured cast member. He shares what it was like to be thrust into the national spotlight, the impact of fame on family, and how they navigated both public praise and harsh criticism. The conversation touches on personal growth, work-life balance, the joys of grandparenting 19 grandkids, and reflections on a career built in small-town dentistry with a big story to tell.
