In this episode, Chase and Ryan take a deep dive into what truly makes a great business owner. Is it all about maximizing profits, cutting costs, and working harder than everyone else? Or is it about something bigger—like mindset, leadership, and creating an environment that attracts the right team and patients?

They talk about the difference between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset—how some dentists try to squeeze every last penny out of their practices while others focus on building something sustainable and lasting. From buying and revamping struggling dental offices to dealing with the frustrations of other dentists complaining about “stolen” patients, they share real-world lessons from their own experience.

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Dentists Show without a few hilarious stories—like getting “baptized” in the icy waters of Alaska while fishing and their less-than-stellar geography skills when signing up for a dental course in Portugal (spoiler: neither of them knew where Portugal was).

If you’re looking for real talk about business, leadership, and building a thriving dental practice—while still keeping your sanity—this episode is a must-listen.
