Mark and Jordon discuss why information has become a commodity, how AI can be a powerful tool when paired with the right data, and why human support, accountability, and real-world implementation still matter more than ever. They also dig into rising practice costs, wage inflation, flat PPO reimbursements, the importance of knowing your numbers, and why dentists need to be intentional about patient attraction, systems, leadership, and profitability. The conversation highlights where AI can elevate teams, where it still falls short, and why great coaching remains essential in helping practice owners turn information into action.
