Dentist Owner to Owner Dentist with Dr. Paul Etchison
Dr. Paul Etchison is a dentist, practice owner, podcaster, coach and writer! Etch has recently released his second book entitled "Dental Practice Heroes II, the sequel: How a 3 Day Work Week Can Give You the Life You Want." Paul joins Alan for this entertaining conversation about how he found himself burned out even when he was very successful. His transition to 3 days a week has changed his role more from dentist to business owner where he works ON his business more than IN his business. Is this for everyone? Maybe not, but we discuss how it could fit into the practice owner's life. Our discussion covers burnout, leadership, delegation and the idea that clinical dentistry isn't necessarily the end-all!

Shorts: Dentures Are Like Marriage with Less Sex featuring Dr. Russell Schafer
Dr. Russell Schafer joins Al to discuss denture patients and denture struggles. We refer to a couple classic papers that are worth a read: Difficult Denture Birds and More Difficult Denture BIrds!

Very Dental: Dr. Gregg Kinzer's Wish List
Dr. Gregg Kinzer sat down for a conversation with Alan back in September at the incomparable Spear Summit! For those that aren't familiar with Gregg, he's the prosthodontist that joined Dr. Frank Spear (you may have heard of him) in practice awhile back. He also lectures in many programs at Spear Education in Scottsdale, AZ. He's essentially the backbone of many of the programs at Spear Education, so he doesn't get many chances to go take CE of his own. And that, my friends, is how speakers are chosen for Spear Summit! Some of the topics they discussed: Gregg vs. Jeff Rouse at Spear Summit How Gregg chooses speakers for Summit Live Seminars are BACK at Spear! Virtual seminars vs. live seminars Picking your friendly face when you're on stage Summit is a challenge for a speaker...how to bring your A game. AV at meetings...it's a whole thing Gregg needs to come to the Vedder Society!
