Episode : #487: BIG Dental Decisions + Team Impacts
Podcast Description
Dr. Paul Goodman — Dr. Nacho himself — is back on the podcast! He talks with Kiera about the four big decisions dentists make (first job, buying a practice, hiring first associate, and selling practice) and how they impact team members. There’s talk of transitions, having uncomfortable conversations, the normalcy of friction (but not toxicity), and becoming a word ninja.
This episode is all about changing the game of dentistry … for the better.
