They discuss why dentistry can feel lonely, the value of getting into the right rooms, and how live events create collaboration and mentorship that cannot be replicated online. Paul also shares advice for young dentists, including the importance of understanding practice numbers, building strong clinical fundamentals, and getting legal guidance before signing associate contracts. The conversation wraps with a look at associate-owner harmony and the realities of transitioning a PPO-driven practice to an out-of-network model.
