## Resource

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Matt Slivka, owner of Rockside Dental and DSI Black Belt coach, for a conversation about growth, purpose, and the impact dentists can make far beyond the operatory. Matt shares how mentorship and community helped transform his practice from a chaotic startup into a thriving multi-doctor organization, and how that same mindset pushed him to launch Rockside Reach International, his nonprofit providing dental care in Guatemala. The conversation explores the power of influence, the importance of relationships, lessons from mission work around the world, and why fulfillment often comes from becoming the person you're meant to be rather than simply achieving more. Mark and Matt also preview Matt's upcoming Unlock Your Potential course, a unique personal development experience centered around the Four Futures of mind, meaning, muscle, and money, designed to help doctors, team members, and leaders create a more intentional and impactful life.
