Stuff you should Hear

Our guest today is Jeff Buske. In this episode, we talked about unlocking your limitless power, profits, and purpose in your practice, marriage, and life.

Dr. Pete Stover graduated from OU in 2002 and built a practice in Elk City, OK after 3 years at the OKC Indian Clinic.  He and Sheri have been married for over 20 years and have 2 teenagers, Jaclyn and Jacob.  Dr. Stover had an affinity for technology and has been a CEREC trainer, faculty at the Dallas Implant Institute, Fellow in the California Implant Institute, beta tester for Sirona, Blue Sky Bio, ClearCorrect, and developed Pilot Plus, a guided drill system for dental implants.  As 3-D printing came on to the scene, Pete was an early adopter and much like a “cat lady”, he can’t remember just how many printers he has owned over the years.  3-D printing is a staple in Dr. Stover’s office for surgical guides, aligners, removable, full arch hybrids, occlusal guards, and there’s no end in sight.

Faith in Christ is the cornerstone of Pete’s family. They’ve served in the local church and they’ve even had the opportunity to work together in Thailand providing dental care in regional orphanages. Dr. Stover has had the opportunity to participate in dental mission work in 6 countries, and hopes to add many more.

As the latter portion of Pete’s career rolls around, he is enjoying the mentoring aspect all the more, but has no plans to stop learning and developing more skills, especially in the area of technology and implantology.

Today we hear from Dave and Scott over at proceed Finance. This is an amazing company that gives some awesome options for patient financing so that ideal treatment is more accessible.

Big Joe has started working with Jeff Buske and today they get into some of the details and how Joe’s habits and perspectives have already changed.

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? What does it mean to be relentless? These are two words that truly go hand in hand, and questions that we dive deep into during this episode. We had Drs Karah and David Maloley along with Tiger Safarov sit down with us to chat on these topics and many more. We started the episode with a few laughs, but once we got going, the pearls in this episode just started flowing.

Dr. Mariusso sat down with us to discuss his recent transition into his second associateship within five months of being out of dental school. We dove deep into how he found this first associateship, when and how long he was there before he started to notice things may not be a good fit for him, as well as all the pearls and lessons he took away from the last five months. This episode was packed with so many good take aways, and if you are looking for an associateship, if you are an associate, or if you are an owner doctor looking for an associate you will not want to miss this episode!

In this episode, we talked about Friend's newborn baby, Scotty's practice, acquisition and financing strategies, 2021 first quarter's biggest wins, and a deep and honest conversation about what's really important in life and dentistry.

Today we speak with Randy Houska, Cole Hackett, and Joe Blalock about owning an alpaca, teen mom, corvettes, and of course, a little about dentistry ;)

With our 100th episode behind us, we thought it was only fitting to officially introduce our newest member to the Life and Dentistry crew. Meet the one and only Friend Bechtel! Friend Bechtel, though not a TN boy, was raised on a small hobby ranch in Northern Idaho. From humble beginnings, Friend is working hard to develop a future focus to both provide for his family and protect the future of dentistry. Post-graduation he operated a small construction business. First year of dental school he discovered podcasts and frankly has consumed more podcasts and taken more notes on them then probably his entire school combined. This earned him the attention of many leaders in dentistry including this lovely team. In dental school he founded a business organization to help his peers learn more of the business and prepare for the world to come. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife fostering and building new relationships, playing electric violin in local bands, and building his real estate portfolio.

On today's show we sat down with Dr. Ken Randal. Dr. Ken is a practicing dentist in Chattanooga Tennessee. He was speaking at the local ASDA district meeting and was graciosos enough to sit down with us and give out some of his real world pearls.
