Stuff you should Hear

In this episode we spoke with Lisa Moler about Erin Elliot about the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea, the stigma behind sleep apnea, how to diagnose and treat, the difference between in lab and at home sleep tests, and how it all ties into dentistry.

In this episode we talked with Dr. Aaron Nicholas about Endodontics and other efficient ways to practice common dental procedures. Dr. Nicholas is the founder of Monday Morning Dentistry as well as a practicing dentist in Burtonsville, MD with over 30 years of experience.

In this episode we talked with Dr. Brian McCue and Dr. Erin Elliott from 3D Dentists about the difference, pros and cons of oral and IV sedation. We also discussed medical billing, insurance reimbursements, and sleep apnea.

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.
