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.

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.

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

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.

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.
