1130 Lower your Supply Cost with John Shaw, Founder of maxill : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

John Shaw is the founder and current General Manager of maxill inc. There are no “C” titles at maxill. John grew up as a kid around farming, dairy, retailing and packaged ice cream operations that his senior family members owned at that time. John accredits this environment of being around and selling packaged consumer goods ( ice cream and dairy products ) via the family’s own retailer network ( Shaw’s Dairy Stores ) since birth, as a natural path to an interest in packaged consumer goods, design, market pricing, satisfaction and supply chain. People always need food and we sold food. John completed high school in 1981 with a Grade 12 and subsequent classes and programs at Hard Knocks University from which he has not yet received his “know it all diploma” despite it being almost 40 years later. John’s employment history is newspaper boy, truck driver, toothbrush sales person and then being his own guy. Being a newspaper boy taught the importance of customer service, cash flow, collections and being on time with no excuses. No matter the weather, the newspaper had better be there on time.  John, the Sparta newspaper baron upsold his customers with Greeting cards, newspaper subscriptions.  John in time was also able to create a newspaper monopoly in the village of 500 by delivering the morning Free Press and the afternoon Times Journal. John’s first sales position post family employment as a truck driver for the dairy business was a 1099 sales person for the M+C Schiffer Company of Germany selling toothbrushes.  Mainly Private label toothbrushes for several retail chains in the early 1980’s. A sales and experience gained hold, the current day maxill inc. was established in 1987 on just 2 items. The 330 and 440 toothbrushes which are still a part of the product lineup today. Building and molding maxill to where it is today exposed John to dealing with near ( but not ) insolvency, penny stock promoters, banks, venture capitalists, angels, private equity, legals, patents, trademarks, employment, foreign ownership, exporting, importing, manufacturing and a list of business skills and acumen too many to list here. John’s full-time job is overseeing privately owned maxill which has revenue in the mid to high 8 digits, has over 150+ employees, operates directly in 3 countries and exports to dozens more. The dental industry, to which John sort of, by rear entrance accident method entered into, has been very good to John and seems impression proof. maxill experiences double digit annual growth and by far, the best is yet to come. John’s favorite lines about maxill and dental are; I have not worked a single day in over 30 years. It does well in good times and does even better during hard times.

1129 Dr. Milan Somborac DDS Founder of Monday Morning Millionaire Program : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Milan is the author of Monday Morning Millionaire and the creator of the Monday Morning Millionaire Program. He practiced dentistry for over 50 years and has as much do-it-yourself investing experience. From that, he knew that you can make more money on a Monday morning before breakfast than you ever did in your best week at work. The Monday Morning Millionaire Program is his step-by-step process that will allow you to outperform the market and to become a confident and successful do-it-yourself (DIY) investor. In addition to Milan, his team has three self-made, multimillionaire do-it-yourself investors one of whom is on the advisory committee for a $US3 billion American state county portfolio. He also has a business background. In 1996 Milan, along with his son, B. Eng. & Mgt., MBA, created Tenax Implant Inc. They manufactured and distributed dental implants in Canada, South Korea, and the Caribbean. It took three years, four patents, ISO certification and a million dollars of investors’ money to reach that status. Only three other Canadian dentists have done so. With his staff of six capable assistants, he ran patient implant treatment courses in these countries to teach implant treatment to colleagues. They have launched the implant careers of some 500 dentists. In 2008, they bought out the 10 Tenax shareholders and changed the company from an implant manufacturing operation to a holding company. It now only invests in the stock market. About the same time that he started his career in dentistry, he befriended a lawyer who was an active investor. That sparked his interest in also becoming a DIY investor. He has invested in all sorts of securities and found the best results come from owning a US market index exchange-traded fund in his core and “explore” portfolios and occasionally selling derivatives in the “explore” portfolio. A high net worth friend whose portfolio is managed by others was so impressed with my results that she suggested that he make that system public. Following her suggestion, he launched the Monday Morning Millionaire Program to be able to share his knowledge with a broader audience.
