44. Red Flags vs. Growing Pains: How to Spot, Support, and Scale Your Dental Team

lundi 11 août 2025 • Durée 39:49

If you’ve ever felt like your practice is running you instead of the other way around, this episode’s going to hit home. We’re diving into a real and raw conversation about the messy middle of growth—when the numbers look good on paper, but behind the scenes, the pressure is relentless.

In this episode, we open up about the hard realities of scaling multiple practices, the mental toll it can take, and the key lessons we’ve learned about sustainable growth. From understanding what your team really needs from you as a leader, to getting honest about where your own blind spots are, we’re talking about the stuff they don’t teach you in dental school.

We also share the role personal accountability plays in business success, how to recognize when you’re in over your head, and why sometimes the smartest move is slowing down to move forward faster. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing this whole dentistry/ownership/life thing “right,” you’re not alone—and you’ll leave this episode with permission to rethink your own path.

This is an episode for dentists who want more than just a profitable practice—they want a fulfilling career and a life they actually enjoy living.

43. Burnout, Boundaries, and Building a Better Practice: Ryan Gets Real

lundi 4 août 2025 • Durée 23:51

Let’s be honest—if you’ve ever built a business, you’ve likely felt the pull of just one more thing. Just one more late night. One more patient. One more office. In this solo episode, I’m laying it all out: what led me to the edge of burnout, what I’ve learned about healthy limits, and why I’m drawing a line in the sand when it comes to how I lead and live from now on.

This episode isn’t about whining. It’s about waking up. I’ve been running at 100 miles an hour, trying to be everything to everyone, and convincing myself I could do it all. But even dentists who “look like they have it together” hit a wall. And when you do, it doesn’t mean you failed—it means it’s time to build differently.

I talk about the cost of ignoring boundaries, what true partnership looks like (in marriage and business), and how to own your “average” seasons without shame. You’ll also hear why I’m not afraid to change direction, even if it means disappointing a few people in the process.

This one’s real. This one’s raw. And if you’ve ever felt the tension between ambition and actual life, I think it’ll hit home.

42. Startup Reality Check: Chase Grills Ryan on What Really Happened in the First 90 Days

mardi 29 juillet 2025 • Durée 42:38

In this episode, Chase puts Ryan in the hot seat to break down the emotional rollercoaster of launching their latest dental startup. From unpredictable days to unexpected wins, this is the raw debrief most practice owners never share out loud.

Starting a new dental office is rarely what you think it’s going to be. Chase takes on the role of interviewer in this week’s episode, asking Ryan to reflect honestly on the chaos, confusion, and surprises of their newest startup.

Ryan opens up about how disjointed the first few weeks felt—even with strong hiring and good systems in place. The hardest part? Leading through the fog. When your team is looking to you for direction and you don’t yet have clarity yourself, it’s a gut-check moment.

They discuss team dynamics, emotional stress, communication breakdowns, and the temptation to avoid hard conversations. Ryan shares how “looking like you have it together” isn’t the same as actually leading, and what it takes to find your rhythm mid-mess. If you're planning a startup or recovering from one, this conversation is both validating and eye-opening.

💡 Key Takeaways:

Chase’s opening question: “What surprised you most about this startup?”
The emotional tension of unclear direction during the first month
How a few misaligned hires can create ripple effects across the office
Ryan’s honest take: “I didn’t show up the way I needed to”
The danger of avoiding hard conversations when things feel fragile
Learning how to lead when you don’t have all the answers yet

4:05 – The first two weeks: chaos, burnout, and doubt

41. Did You Grow or Just Repeat? The Q2 Wake-Up Call Every Dentist Needs

lundi 21 juillet 2025 • Durée 33:55

Quarterly numbers are in… but the real question isn’t what the spreadsheets say—it’s whether your practice actually grew. In this raw and real episode, Chase and Ryan unpack the wins, losses, and loops from Q2 and challenge you to stop repeating the same cycle and finally move the needle.

In this no-fluff, behind-the-scenes episode, Chase and Ryan reflect on Q2's performance across their dental practices. Spoiler: it wasn’t all sunshine and profit margins. From an explosive April to a painful May and a “meh” June, they break down the highs, lows, and what they’ve learned (and didn’t fix) this quarter.

The duo gets honest about the reality of dental leadership: identifying problems is easy—but solving them? That’s the hard part most owners avoid. They share why many dentists are stuck in repeat loops, the sneaky comfort of chaos, and how some offices are quietly crushing goals while others struggle to grow.

You'll hear insights on team culture, case acceptance training, margins, and their controversial idea to cut underperforming insurance plans. And yes, they somehow tie it all together with a custom Nike shoe contest, awkward dad jokes, and a team-wide David Goggins-inspired Q3 rally cry.

💡 Key Takeaways:

Why recognizing problems isn’t the same as resolving them
Q2 breakdown: strong April, brutal May, flat June—and what caused it
How case acceptance training is starting to pay off (and where it still needs work)
The risks (and rewards) of dropping poor-paying insurance plans
New Q3 theme: Action. No Excuses.
How to lead your team out of the repeat loop and into performance-driven culture

40. What They Don’t Tell You About Buying Your First Dental Practice

lundi 14 juillet 2025 • Durée 34:16

If you're thinking about buying your first dental practice—or already deep in the process—this episode is a must-listen. Chase and Ryan are pulling back the curtain on what really happens when you make that first purchase. Spoiler alert: it’s not all clean numbers and smooth transitions.

From team dynamics to misleading seller promises, they share the gritty, honest truths most brokers won’t tell you. They even bring ChatGPT into the mix to compare AI advice with real-world experience—and spoiler: the guys still come out on top.

You’ll hear stories of team walkouts, overpromised seller support, and the wild variability that comes with every transition. Whether you’re planning to buy soon or just want to hear what goes down behind the scenes, this episode is filled with candid insights and practical tips.

And don’t worry—there are plenty of laughs, Post Malone references, and even some boating mishaps sprinkled in along the way.

What's Inside:

Numbers can lie—without context: Collections and income might look good on paper, but dig deeper. Look at doctor dependency, write-offs, and team costs.
The team might not be on your side (at first): Some will love you, some will loathe you. Expect a rocky start and don’t take it personally.
Sellers rarely follow through on transition promises: Get everything in writing. Most docs mentally check out the moment the check clears.
Morale is impossible to measure pre-sale: You won't meet the team ahead of time for a reason. Be prepared to deal with culture shifts.
You’ll feel like you overpaid—and that’s normal: Every buyer thinks they paid too much. Every seller thinks they got too little. It’s just part of the game.
Create your own culture: Whether the old team stays or goes, you get to build the team that’s right for your practice long-term.

39. Ryan’s Sedation Nightmare and What He Learned

lundi 7 juillet 2025 • Durée 27:38

In this raw and relatable episode of The Dentists Show, Ryan opens up about one of the most stressful sedation cases he’s ever faced—a situation that pushed him to his edge as a dentist and leader. What started as a routine All-On-X procedure under IV sedation turned into a chaotic and dangerous experience when the patient became combative mid-surgery.

Ryan walks us through the moment-by-moment decisions he had to make—balancing patient safety, team confidence, and the legal and emotional weight of it all. Chase jumps in with his own stories, and together they unpack the wild world of sedation dentistry, sharing lessons on teamwork, emotional resilience, and knowing when to laugh so you don’t cry.

If you've ever thought, Why do I do this? — this episode is for you.

37. Why True Culture Beats Perks Every Time

lundi 23 juin 2025 • Durée 31:41

Welcome back to The Dentists Show! In this episode, Chase and Ryan dive into one of the most overlooked yet powerful drivers of practice success: culture. They don’t hold back, sharing real stories from their offices and peeling back what truly motivates a team—and what happens when perks take center stage instead.

Together, they explore why some teams thrive on camaraderie and service, while others seem to lose their edge even when showered with freebies. From potlucks that bring people together to the downsides of catered meals that feel more like obligations, Chase and Ryan talk about what really binds a team: shared goals, contribution, and purpose.

Ryan reflects on the deeper impact of “serving one another,” suggesting that when leaders model generosity (think home-cooked meals over take-out) it breeds a sense of pride and teamwork that money can’t buy. Chase agrees, noting that perks may feel good in the moment, but they rarely build the kind of enduring loyalty that drives long-term results.

By the end of this candid conversation, you’ll see why leaning into team culture and creating real connections will always matter more than free food or short-term incentives—and you’ll probably feel inspired to look at your own leadership through a new lens.

Key takeaways you’ll hear in this episode:

Why offices with the most perks often have the highest turnover
The power of potlucks and shared meals for team bonding
Why perks can backfire without a strong underlying culture
How serving each other raises morale and builds commitment
How to recognize when your team feels more “entitled” than “engaged”

lundi 16 juin 2025 • Durée 33:04

In this episode, Chase and Ryan get real about the financial habits, benchmarks, and mindset shifts that helped them scale to where they are today.

From understanding monthly production goals to identifying how much each provider should bring in, they pull back the curtain on how top-performing practices think about money. But it’s not all spreadsheets and production charts—this conversation also dives into how money can be used as a tool to fuel purpose, freedom, and growth for the entire team.
