In this episode, Blake flies solo when interviewing the CEO of Elementa Oral Care and the host of The Biofilm Factor podcast, Dr. Ryan Nolan.  Blake and Ryan discuss Dr. Nolan's background in science and the struggles of building a start-up.  Later in the episode they discuss the struggles of going against big brands and disrupting an industry.  If you are curious about how start-ups work, entrepreneurship, the dental industry or you're just a nerd, you don't want to miss this episode!

This very special episode of The ALL-IN Podcast was recorded live in Scottsdale, AZ at the Dental Influence Alliance conference.  Shane McElroy interviews the founders of this amazing conference (Dr. Ben Johnson @pnwoms , Dr. Brian Baliwas @sfdentalnerd , Dr. Naif Sinada @drsinada, Dr. Peyman Riassi @drpeyray and Blake McClellan @implantcompare) to find out what they really think about each other.  This is actually a ridiculous contest to see which founder will take home the coveted Dental Influence Avengers Signed poster that included all the speakers at the conference.  It was a little gift from The ALL-IN Podcast.  This is a really funny episode!

Dr. Todd Schoenbaum, Director of Continuing Dental Education at the UCLA School of Dentistry and an Associate Clinical Professor in the Section of Restorative Dentistry joins Blake and Shane on episode 10.  They discuss lecturing in different countries and cultural differences when presenting.  The crew also digs in on Todd's new book, Implants In The Aesthetic Zone, and what goes in to publishing a book and articles.  The episode takes a cool turn when they start discussing some of the major issues in the publishing and education game.  Check it out!

In Episode 7 of The ALL-IN Podcast, your hosts Blake McClellan (@implantcompare) and Shane McElroy (@implantMBA) discuss how to become a key opinion leader and educator in the dental industry.  In the past, it took decades of research and support from major dental companies to create a pathway to becoming an educator. But, with the emergence of Instagram, podcasts and other digital platforms, you can fast track your way to becoming an education GURU (for better or worse).  During the episode Blake and Shane outline a structure for a year long full-arch education series on the fly.  If you attend continuing education, want to know how ce works, you want to become a key opinion leader or already are a KOL, then this episode is for you!

In episode 6 of the All-In Podcast, your hosts, Shane and Blake, welcome Steven London from BioHorizons.  Steven is one of the most interesting people in all of the dental industry.  He has a background, in banking, politics, the mortgage industry, sports and the dental industry.  Steven talks about his three million dollar shoe collection and his journey into the dental industry.  This is definitely a do not miss episode.
