In this raw and honest \"MyStory\" episode, Craig and Peter sit down with Dr. Donnie to unpack the real problems he's navigating as a first-time practice owner: arbitrary revenue goals with no math to back them up, two part-time associates who aren't pulling their weight, a rocky practice management software switch mid-transition, a team that says everything's fine but clearly isn't, and a leadership style that's more people-pleasing than people-leading. The guys break it all down, from reverse-engineering his $3M dream with actual operatory data, to why his bonus system could quietly be killing his margins, to the hard truth about what it means to lead vs. manage a team you inherited. Case Study: Dr. Donnie Wiggins Single Practice Owner Based in New Jersey (commuting from Brooklyn, NY) Purchased Practice: September 2025 Experience: 6 months into ownership DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 432 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden , Dr. Craig Spodak & Ian de Jongh GUEST: Dr.Donnie Wiggins \"MyStory\" is a new Bulletproof series where real dentists share their real story: what's working, what's not, and the questions they can't get answered anywhere else. Each episode is a one-hour Master Class. Peter, Craig and Ian give practical advice, just like they do inside our Mastermind Program and at the Bulletproof Summit. The point is simple: you'll hear your own challenges in someone else's story, and leave with clear steps you can use right away to shift your mindset, strengthen your practice, and avoid the mistakes that make growth harder than it needs to be.
