Bulletproof Summit: "The Best One Yet"
Fresh off a sold-out Bulletproof Summit at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh sit down to relive three days that left everyone running on fumes and full of purpose. In this episode: the world's first all-dental AI summit, Brian Harris delivering a main stage talk so inspiring Peter considered getting back in the chair, and the unplanned moment Dr. R
If You're the Smartest in the Room, Leave
The fastest way to stall your growth is to be the most accomplished person in your circle. Peter and Craig are living the opposite this summer. Craig is recording from Aspen and Peter just got back from Baker's Bay, both dropped into rooms where they quickly realized they are a smallest fish in the pond, which is exactly where they want to be. Recorded the week of the sold-out Bulletproof Summit,
Leaving the Chair Without Quitting
Dr. Todd Christensen calls in from Minnesota with 20 operatories across two locations, a big remodel behind him, and a question he can't shake: at 45, how does he transition out of clinical dentistry and into the executive role without the guilt? His patients don't make it easy. When he tries to hand them to an associate, they tell him they would rather wait months for him than see anyone else. Pe
Hotline Calls: When Is the Right Time to Sell?
"I'd only sell for a stupid multiple. Thirteen, fifteen X." A five-practice owner from Dallas calls the hotline with the question every group owner is quietly asking: when do I sell, and what's the highest multiple anyone has actually gotten? What follows is one of the most candid breakdowns of the DSO economy you'll hear anywhere. Zombie DSOs, zero interest rate policy, bridge loans at 18 percent

You Don't Have to Do This Alone [Special Episode]
This episode is different. We asked members of our mastermind community to send in voice notes answering one question: what has this actually meant to you? Then Peter and Craig hit record and heard every message for the first time, reacting live. What came back was honest, unscripted, and at moments hard to get through. We share it because practice ownership does not have to be the lonely, white-k
Cialdini's 7 Principles, Ranked for Dentists
A year training under Dr. Robert Cialdini, the godfather of influence, changed Dr. Chris Phelps' entire business. In this episode, he shares why it can change yours too! After building four fee-for-service practices, Chris hit a wall every dentist knows. Patients weren't saying yes. Team members weren't following through. Associates weren't using the skills he'd paid to teach them. The problem was
Hotline Call: The Hygienist Shortage Is Real
One caller. One problem almost every dentist is dealing with. Jesse is a new practice owner in a rural market. One hygienist is out on maternity leave, another is burning out from assisted hygiene, and after calling schools, searching job boards, and exhausting his options, he's asking the question every owner eventually asks: "What do I do now?" Peter and Craig explain why this isn't just bad luc

The 39% DSO Tipping Point?

They explore the economic forces driving DSO growth, including insurance arbitrage, private equity inv
Why Your Team Ignores You (And It's Not Their Fault)
You've said it out loud more than once. My team knows exactly what we're trying to build. Then a few weeks go by and you realize they don't. Not because they're lazy or checked out, but because the vision lives in your head and never quite made it into theirs. So you do what feels logical. Tighten the systems. Add accountability. Call another meeting. And still the team nods, complies, and quietly
The AI Wake-Up Call for Dentists
We explore what may be the fastest-moving technological shift dentistry has faced in decades and why most practice owners are still underestimating how quickly the ground is moving beneath them. While many dentists are using ChatGPT to write emails, draft social posts, or answer quick questions, the conversation argues that's barely one percent of what's now possible. The discussion digs into th
Hotline Calls: Team Buy-In and Your Non-Clinical Days
Two callers, two problems every practice owner runs into. The first is a self-described systems guy whose team keeps reverting to old habits two weeks after every meeting, vision cast, and lunch-and-learn. The second is an associate who just carved out one day a week away from the chair and wants to know how to actually use it. Peter and Craig push back on both. To the first caller: "I've tried
"I Hate Dentists" Is a Cry for Help
"No offense, but I hate dentists." Most providers hear it, laugh it off, and lean the chair back. Craig and Peter make the case that it's actually a cry for help, and the doorway to a relationship the patient never leaves. This episode unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions in dentistry: that sales and patient care are in conflict. They argue the opposite. The best dentists are the best commun
If We're All Gonna Eat, Someone Has to Sell
We have heard so many dentists say they hate selling. What they really hate is rejection. In this episode, Peter and Craig tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in dentistry and business: sales. Not the sleazy, manipulative version. The kind that every practice owner, leader, and entrepreneur relies on whether they realize it or not. They break down why selling is ultimately about creating v
Raise Your Fees: The Math, The Fear, The Fix
Most dentists haven't touched their fee schedule in years. In this episode, Craig and Peter break down why a simple 10% fee increase doesn't just add 10% to your bottom line, it can boost profit by 25-33%. They cover the real math behind fee increases, why the fear of losing patients is almost always worse than the reality, and the exact steps to implement a smart, consistent fee strategy in your
You Can't Produce Your Way Out
Think you can outwork your problems? Many dentists default to seeing more patients and chasing higher production when things feel off. And it works... until it doesn't. The result? Dentists build practices that look successful from the outside while quietly becoming prisoners of the businesses they created. In this episode, Craig and Peter break down why grinding harder is just scooping water out
Dr. Brian Harris: What Five Practices Taught Him
Dr. Brian Harris built five dental practices, filled his garage with a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, a GT3, and a G-Wagon, and still wasn't any happier than when he had one office. So he did what almost no one does: he sold the practices back to his associates, went back to one location, and doubled down on the craft he actually loves. In this episode, Peter, Craig, Ian, and Brian unpack the real story
MyStory: $6M, 35 Employees, and a Leadership Problem

Eight years later, he's at $6.1M across two locations with three partners, 35 team members, and 47% overhead. He followed the Bulletproof playbook to the letter: dropped from 10 insurance networks to three, expanded from 7 to 12 ops, brought in partners, and hit 20% year-over-year growth for five straight y
8 Pressures You Don't Talk About as a Dentist
Dr. Craig Spodak has coached thousands of dentists and seen the same patterns show up again and again. Dentists are trained to be precise, perfectionistic, and responsible for everything. But the same traits that make them great clinicians can quietly trap them as leaders, business owners, and human beings. In this episode, Craig and Ian unpack the psychology of dentists: why so many tie their ide
