E1: Dr. Howard Farran

Dr. Parul Dua Makkar joins the founder of DentalTown and one of Dr. Manu Dua's most esteemed mentors, Dr. Howard Farran.

Topics discussed:

• Manu's immersion in the DentalTown Community - a place where he could be vulnerable.

• Timing of Manu's death.

• Why the book is titled "Life Interrupted."

• Howard's advice to beating burnout - "your attitude determines your altitude, your attitude beats your aptitude."

• The Dua Family journey from India to Canada.

• What Howard learned from lecturing in 50 countries over 30 years.

• Howard on a toxic workplace- "When you do things that you don't like to do for money, it always ends badly."

• The Golden Rule: Treat other people how you would want to be treated.

Howard's lasting thoughts on Manu: "Manu was not your average bear, he would listen to you with empathy and concern, and share back what he knows.  And he was hoping that it would be a relationship that would continue.  He was the long-term connected relationship guy. And once you were connected to that guy, you had a friend for life."
