Most dentists grind today so they can live “someday.” Bigger practice. Bigger check. Then finally unplug, be present, and enjoy life. This episode challenges that mindset with a story that changed my life for good.
I share the real lesson behind my friend Steve’s battle with brain cancer at age 47 and how his journey forced me to rethink the entire idea of grinding now so you can live later. If you think you’ll finally be happy after you sell, expand, or hit a magic number… this one will land hard.
We dive into:
• Why assuming you’ll “have time later” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves • A tactical approach to building an Ideal Week that protects your time, relationships, and health • How to be a driven entrepreneur without sacrificing your marriage, kids, or sanity • Why multitasking destroys both productivity and presence • The mindset shift that lets you win at work and at home right now, not five years from now
This is part strategy, part wake-up call. You do not get tomorrow. Stop grinding blindly. Build a life you can be proud of today.
