Struggling to feel passionate about your work? You’re not alone—but maybe you’re looking at passion the wrong way. In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen breaks down why passion isn’t something you find—it’s something you build. Drawing from psychology and real-world experience, he explains how effort, mastery, and growth fuel genuine passion over time. Tune in to rethink what drives you and how to reignite your motivation.

Great leadership isn’t about micromanaging—it’s about empowering others to thrive. In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen shares a powerful insight from Maria Montessori: true success is when things run smoothly without you. Whether in your dental practice or everyday life, building trust, creating strong systems, and stepping back can lead to a more confident, capable team. Tune in to learn why letting go might just be the best leadership move you make.

Success isn’t about overnight leaps—it’s about daily, consistent effort. In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen shares the story of Milo of Croton, an ancient Olympic champion who became incredibly strong by carrying a growing calf every day. This simple yet powerful lesson illustrates how small, repeated actions lead to massive results over time. Whether it’s refining your skills, improving your practice, or making personal changes, the key is consistency. Tune in to learn how to apply the Milo Effect to your own growth!

Status quietly shapes our decisions every day—but are we chasing the right kind? In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen breaks down the difference between Bought Status (the kind you purchase) and Earned Status (the kind you build). Using simple tests, he helps you recognize which game you’re playing and why true respect, trust, and fulfillment can’t be bought. Tune in for a fresh perspective on what really matters when it comes to success and influence.

Ever say “yes” to something weeks in advance, only to regret it later? That’s the Yes-Damn Effect in action—a sneaky habit where we assume “future us” will have more time. In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen breaks down why we fall into this trap and shares a simple trick to avoid it: the Right Now Test. Before committing, ask yourself, “Would I do this today?” If not, it’s a sign to say no. Learning to protect your time isn’t just a life hack—it’s essential for running a smooth, stress-free dental practice.

In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen challenges the idea that the dentist down the street is your biggest competitor. Instead, he explores Simon Sinek’s concept of the infinite game—where success isn’t about winning or losing, but about playing with purpose. While competition can push us to improve, constantly comparing ourselves to others can be more harmful than helpful. The real challenges in dentistry aren’t each other—they’re the bigger issues we all face. Tune in for a fresh perspective on competition and why we should be working together, not against one another.

In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on a key lesson from Dr. Jason Tanoory on a podcast, inspired by Viktor Frankl’s wisdom: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” That space holds the power to shape our reactions, emotions, and ultimately, our growth. Join us as we explore how slowing down, noticing our feelings, and embracing self-awareness can help us navigate life with more clarity and intention.

What does it really mean to live a rich life? In today's episode, Dr. Killeen breaks down why true wealth isn’t just about hitting financial milestones—it’s about designing a life that feels fulfilling. A rich life is personal, shaped by your values, experiences, and relationships—not just your bank account. Instead of waiting for a number to bring happiness, let’s focus on creating a life we love, one choice at a time. Tune in for a fresh perspective on wealth, success, and what truly matters!

In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen explores the power of stepping into the unknown and how real growth comes from pushing past our comfort zones. Inspired by a quote from Marissa Mayer, Addison reflects on the moments in dentistry—like tackling a challenging case—where uncertainty led to real skill development. Growth isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about having the courage to start. Tune in for a dose of motivation to embrace those "I’m not sure I can do this" moments and take the next step forward!
