On today's episode, you'll hear Dr. Mark Costes in conversation with Dr. Paul "Nacho" Goodman, recorded during a wide-ranging, high-energy catch-up between two of dentistry's most passionate educators and leaders. This episode dives deep into the "you can't train during the game" mindset and how it applies to dental practice culture, associate mentorship, and the constant pressure of clinical life.
Paul shares his reflections on speaking more, traveling less, and how his transition out of the operatory has shifted his perspective on leadership, parenting, and business. They also discuss the ongoing challenges facing new grads, including post-COVID experience gaps, GPR value, and why communication—not crown margins—often determines associate success. This is a funny, honest, and impactful listen packed with real talk for real-world dentists.
