## Resource

In today's episode, Dr. Craig Lustman and I have a great podcast talking about the unique philanthropic model Craig has developed in his dental practices. Craig has found an amazing way to support his passion for developing water, food, and athletic resources for the underserved in Africa. Every cavity-free recall allows his patients to contribute five dollars of profit towards his non-profit organizations, giving his patients a sense of purpose while also encourage good oral hygiene. Our discussion also touches on operational strategies, team dynamics, and the importance of maintaining a balance between professional and personal life. We explore how Craig's journey from Maryland to Florida shaped his approach to dentistry and community service, emphasizing the significance of creating a positive impact through his practice.
