## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Mike Zubiak opens up about the journey that led him from traditional dentistry to a practice grounded in oral-systemic health, leadership development, and curiosity-driven care. Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience and his role as a speaker and author, Dr. Zubiak reflects on why essential health connections—like inflammation, periodontal disease, and airway issues—are still missing from many dental conversations. We explore the real reasons behind slow industry change, how leadership evolves in the dental world, and what it means to empower your team to do work that truly matters. Whether you’re leading a practice or seeking to redefine your role as a dentist, this conversation is a reminder that culture, not just strategy, moves the needle. 🎧 Stream all episodes of the Influential Dental Podcast on the ADI Platform – your trusted source for cutting-edge dental education and inspiration. 👉 https://adiplatform.com/c/adi-platform/category/influential-dental-podcast 📢 Learn more about the American Dental Institute: 🌐 www.americandentalinstitute.com 📸 instagram.com/adi.americandentalinstitute 📘 facebook.com/americandentalinstituteorlando
