Episode notes

Alan is joined by Australian marketing expert and fellow podcaster, Angus Pryor! The episode was recorded live from the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. Their chat begins with the surprising discovery that they both live on large rural farms, complete with forests, horses, and messy ducks. This shared experience launches them into a wide-ranging conversation about the art and business of podcasting, the strange nature of social media, the complexities of modern marketing, and the fine line between ethical patient education and "salesiness" in healthcare. Angus concludes by sharing the unique value proposition of his dental outsourcing company, Dental Stars.
