In this episode of The Stress-Free Dentist Show, Dr. Eric Block is joined by Nancy Kagan, Managing Partner at Rosen Summit Dental Advisors. Drawing from decades of experience in clinical hygiene, multi-practice management, billing systems, and consulting, Nancy shares what truly makes a dental practice successful, not just operationally, but ethically and emotionally.

You’ll hear real-world insights about identifying embezzlement, setting up proper billing structures, the emotional toll of leadership, and how written systems can support stress-free, sustainable growth. Plus, Nancy opens up about her journey as an educator and her recently published book Dental Administration: A Beginner's Reference.

In this episode of The Stress-Free Dentist Podcast, host Dr. Eric Block sits down with board-certified master hypnotherapist Kyra Yang to explore how reprogramming the subconscious mind can help dentists and high achievers break through burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism.

Kyra shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to hypnotherapy, and explains how unresolved subconscious programming can quietly drive stress, overthinking, and the never-ending chase for validation. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s “checked all the boxes” but still feels stuck or overwhelmed.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Block chats with husband-and-wife dentists Dr. Eric Applesies and Dr. Alex Kantor, hosts of Just a Couple of Dentists podcast. They share their journey through dental school, military service, practice transitions, and launching a startup—complete with unexpected challenges, including a sewage flood just weeks after opening.

From navigating the ups and downs of business ownership to lessons learned from a failed partnership, they offer real talk on perseverance, risk, and success. If you’re building your dream practice or facing obstacles along the way, this episode is packed with relatable stories, hard-earned wisdom, and plenty of laughs.
