## Resource

In this episode of Influential Dental , we sit down with Erich Kreidler, President of SprintRay , for a conversation that goes far beyond technology. From his early life in Bolivia to leading one of the fastest-growing companies in dentistry, Erich shares how purpose, values, and innovation have shaped his journey. He opens up about the lessons he learned from his parents, why he left everything behind to come to the U.S. with just a suitcase and a guitar, and how defining his purpose transformed the way he leads. We explore SprintRay’s unique culture, the philosophy of “relationships over transactions” and “integrity over convenience,” and why true innovation happens at the intersection of disciplines. Whether you’re a dentist, an entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking inspiration, this episode offers a rare inside look at the mindset of a leader who sees work not as work, but as life. 🎧 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 📢 Learn more about Influential Dental: 🌐 influentialdental.co 📸 instagram.com/influentialdental About the Influential Dental Team Hosted by Michael Keeter and Julieanne O’Connor , the Influential Dental Podcast highlights the voices shaping dentistry today.
