"Businesses are Dynamic Animals" - Perrin DesPortes

Part 2 of our interview series with Perrin truly identifies the brilliant mind Perrin has. How he's become the influential businessman he is and shares some metrics to better understand our businesses. 

Welcome  back to another episode recorded at the Voices of Dentistry Conference, where Irene Iancu interviews Perrin DesPortes, Co-Founder of Polaris Healthcare Partners, sharing his vast knowledge and experience in the business side of dentistry.
