In this episode of Teeth Matter, I sit down with Dr. Craig Spodak (@craigspodak) , a third-generation dentist and owner of Spodak Dental Group, to discuss the evolution of dentistry and the realities of practice ownership.
As the co-founder of Bulletproof Dental Practice and co-author of The Bulletproof Dental Practice, Dr. Spodak shares insights on building a resilient, efficient, and profitable practice. We dive into what it means to be a "bulletproof" dentist, the difference between vision and goals, the psychology of success, and the role of self-development, continuing education, and so much more.
We also explore how associates can apply these principles to build a strong foundation for their careers. Whether you're a new dentist or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways for your career.
