WATCH: AEW Is BOOMING Again… What Changed?! AEW Dynamite Review!
Private practice is getting squeezed by complexity, competition, and promises that “bigger is better.” That pressure is pushing more dentists to consider selling, scaling, or giving up control. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Dr. Christian Coachman, dentist and educator, about why celebrating independent private practice matters, why quality in dentistry isn't scalable, and what private practitioners can do to stay clinically excellent without burning out. To learn how community, support, and smart strategy can help you protect your freedom and your standards, listen to Episode 1011 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysPrivate practice protects the dentist's freedom to make key decisions that support quality and patient-first care.Motivation, attention to detail, and passion can decline when a practice is sold and clinical decisions are influenced by outside ownership.Quality in dentistry is not scalable, and it typically drops as practices grow beyond a size that can be closely managed.The temptation to scale often hits when a dentist reaches a ceiling on fees but demand continues to grow.Independent dentists can gain many advantages of large organizations by joining a real community that offers support and shared resources.The increasing demands of technology, marketing, leadership, and management are pressuring private practitioners and fueling DSO interest.Many dentists who sell are financially relieved but still want their freedom back once non-compete periods end.Snippets00:00 Intro – Protecting Independent Private Practice01:12 Why Private Practice Matters02:45 Introducing Dr. Christian Coachman04:10 Celebrating the Freedom of Ownership06:30 The Current Challenges Facing Private Dentists08:55 The Mindset Shift Required to Stay Independent11:20 Why Community and Collaboration Matter13:40 Innovation in Modern Private Practice16:05 The Future of Independent Dentistry18:30 Why Events Like The Exchange Matter20:10 Final Thoughts – Choosing Freedom Intentionally21:32 OutroGuest Bio/Guest ResourcesDr. Christian Coachman is a dentist and dental technician known internationally for his work in dental communication, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In this episode of The Behaviorist, host Kedren Crosby is joined by Salena Coachman, VP of Talent Sustainability & Acquisition at Armstrong World Industries, for a thoughtful conversation on self-confidence as a practice—not a personality trait. Together, they explore what confidence really is, how it's built over time, and why inner authority, decisiveness, and values alignment are essential to modern leadership. Drawing from personal stories and leadership experience, they discuss executive presence, cultivating cultures of confidence, and practical habits that sustain confidence through uncertainty and change.

Poor communication can quietly undermine trust, case acceptance, and long-term relationships with patients — even when the clinical work is excellent. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Dr. Christian Coachman, dentist, dental technician, and founder of Digital Smile Design, to identify the most common communication mistakes dentists make with patients and teams. You'll learn why context matters, how confidence and humility work together, why “selling” erodes trust, and how practicing communication changes outcomes. If you want patients to understand you, trust you, and move forward with care, listen to Episode 1002 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Communication skills have a greater impact on patient trust and case acceptance than clinical outcomes alone.Failing to give proper context is one of the most common communication mistakes dentists make with patients and teams.Asking better, more complete questions leads to better answers and more efficient collaboration.Confidence without humility sounds arrogant, while humility without confidence sounds weak; effective communication requires both.Dentists rarely practice communication skills, which leads to repeated mistakes over long careers.Explaining dentistry by “thinking out loud” or using jargon confuses patients and erodes trust.Showing patients visual information builds trust more effectively than selling or persuading verbally.Snippets:07:35 Why communication determines how far you go in dentistry.08:18 The problem with not giving patients enough context.13:27 Why poorly formed questions waste time and limit answers.20:44 Confidence versus humility in patient communication.26:46 Why dentists need to practice communication like a clinical skill.33:49 How selling dentistry destroys trust while showing builds it.38:09 Why love and trust come from communication, not clinical work alone.Dr. Christian Coachman Bio:Dr. Christian Coachman is a dentist and dental technician known internationally for his work in dental communication, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Ever wondered how a single podcast jumps from a potential ten-billion-dollar Lakers cash-out to bunker-busting bombs and a rogue Coachman cameo? That's the opening volley. Buckle in before the first coffee sip goes cold. Kev walks in fresh off spinal surgery and drops his new gym gospel. Stem-cell magic, the photo that shut up every doubter, and one training tweak you'll steal before your next workout. The scale has never lied so loudly. Then the bell rings for real. One spear, one giant, and one very nervous champion. Kev maps out the scenario that could flip an entire pay-per-view, torches 35 soft punches, and reminds everyone why the heavy always sets the pace. Fan questions yank the show into the wild. Think autism parenting wins, Iron Dome footage, and a Florida Spam caper that costs more than some cars. One of those stories makes Kevin howl. Bet you guess wrong. Ask Nash signs off with a six-figure cologne heist, taped ribs flying off the top, and a quick check on whether Big Sexy is Riyadh-bound. The only real mystery left: who's actually next?

Created by S.S. Van Dine, Philo Vance first appeared in The Benson Murder Case (1925) as a wealthy dilettante whose keen mind and extensive knowledge made him an indispensable crime solver. His friend, District Attorney Markham, relied on his unconventional methods, while the gruff Sergeant Heath barely concealed his exasperation. Vance was equal parts scholar, art connoisseur, and detective—a man whose cultured demeanor masked an unyielding resolve to untangle the most perplexing crimes. Vance's popularity surged on the silver screen, where he was played by luminaries such as William Powell, Basil Rathbone, and Warren William. But it was on radio that his voice truly came to life. From 1943 to 1945, John Emery first gave voice to the suave sleuth. In 1945, the legendary José Ferrer brought his commanding presence to the role in an NBC summer series. Then, beginning in 1946, the masterful Jackson Beck took over, starring in over 100 syndicated episodes produced by Frederic Ziv, ensuring Vance's legacy endured on the airwaves.

And it's not subjective. I think that we can all agree that the only way is to have balance. If you have balance in your life, you can be successful because - for example, let's say that we have three, four roles in our life. We are professionals like a dentist. Then we are a husband or a partner, father, sportsman, entrepreneur. We have different roles. Let's say I am a great father and I don't invest a lot of time and effort in my profession. Do I have balance? I do not have balance. What about the opposite? I'm a great clinician and we all know great lecturers, great clinician, great dentists that are struggling in their personal life because there is no balance. Very common.” (9:40 - 10:39))“We need to go back to basics. We need to find loneliness. We need to find time to read. We need to find time to stay with no electronics...

One of the words that I prefer the most is effectiveness. We need to be effective. Life is short, time is short, and we need to be effective — effective if you're sharing an idea or sharing content, and effective as you absorb and listen and learn. So, you can filter, you can say no, you can prioritize so that you can really make the best of your time. Useless information is the easiest thing to do, right? You see that on social media all the time. Of course, it's impossible for you to know how useful your information will be. But you need to at least stop and ask yourself how this is going to help others. It's not just putting something out there because you think it worked for you, but to structure that information into recipes, steps, and simple, take-home messages.” (8:46—10:00)“Always start any kind of information sharing with the question, why are you sharing this with others? Why? . . . So, start with why you're sharing means that you are caring about the impact of your information, caring about how this is going to help others. You're putting yourself in the position of the listener and asking yourself, ‘What is BS, and what is not? What is show-off, and what is not?' because there's too much BS, too much...
660: Is Quality Scalable in Dentistry? - Dr. Christian Coachman & Dr. Tal MorrHave you faced the dilemma between seeking financial growth and also keeping high clinical quality? It's something dentists, both seasoned and novice, consider often. Can quality really be scalable?

The size of your practice not only has an effect on a clinical level but it has an effect on the customer service. Identify where you can differentiate yourself and build the model that will leverage the best side of yourself.There's no right or wrong. There's no correct path. It's ultimately what you define as your ultimate goal. Quotes:“I think as a young dentist the first decision you need to make is what is your ultimate objective, because there really are no right and wrong. There are 2 paths you can take: there is the path you can take of trying to achieve the highest quality or there's the path of just practicing, building the quantity of patients that you have…and making your patients happy. Ultimately you have to make that decision. Because what I've always told the young people that I speak to, I said ‘If your objective is to build your name and build yourself as one of the top clinicians, everything you do is a reflection of you.' Meaning, when I started every filling of mine was perfect, every crown of mine was expensive and one perfectly. And I remember when I first started, I worked for a guy and he said ‘you're freakin crazy…you spend way too much time on the patient. You spend way too much money on the technician. You're too picky.' But what happened was everything I did became representative in my community. How? Because my patients would go to see other specialists, they went to see other dentists and they said ‘wow, who did this?'...and I built my reputation that way.” - Tal (3:41—5:26)“There are two ways to grow. One is to see more people, have more dentists, and just do volume. And the other is to increase your pricing…how do you get to the place where you can increase your pricing? It's based on building your reputation as one of the top people. But you're right, it has a ceiling.” (9:48—10:37)“[I'm raising my pricing for two reasons] One is obviously to be compensated for the effort and time and experience I invest. And the second is to…I tell patients I'm...

Think differently as an associate. Accept the challenges and acknowledge the challenges.Owners should empower the Associates to update and improve systems, to provide a sense of purpose. There are 5 qualities in an ideal dentist: charisma, artistic skills, ethics, clinical skills and scientific background.You can't peak at age 25. You need the drive to continue to grow. It's 50% of being a good dentist. Make a roadmap and a clear line of sight to a partnership, if that is your goal to keep and retain good people.Quotes:“It is a dynamic that is a bit tricky because owners are never are carrying themselves in the practice and associates aren't happy with the lack of systems or some of the systems in the practice. So that's when we found how we can bring these two different worlds and make them thrive.” (6:28—6:48)“Whenever you join a practice, as dentists we tend to become a super star. We want to become the superstar of the practice and that's how it is. And every owner, they have established their way of doing things for an extended period of time. And when you come in as an associate, they're not so open to learning or bringing new systems into the practice because in their eyes the practice is established.” (7:29—8:00)“When you start accepting the challenges and acknowledging the challenges. So imagine an owner and an associate just starting the conversation and saying let's just acknowledge how different we are and how different is our perspective. And if we start acknowledging this from each other I believe that is a great initial step.” (11:00—11:25)“I opened up the conversation. I'm not looking for a 9-to-5. I'm looking to build a career. I want to be involved in the practice. And that was something, when I was looking for a position, I struggled with. Because many of the practices I was going to, I would tell them that I want to be involved in the practice. I want to bring new ideas, they would reject that because it's their practice, but luckily with my uncle he was open to that, because he was at a point where he wanted to start to slow down and he wanted someone to bring that energy into the practice.”...

She was born in segregated Georgia and as a child picked cotton and sold peaches, pecans and plums to help support her family She rejected the patriarchy and segregationists, both telling her Black girls should not be athletes; Shout out to two women who encouraged her to become a runner - her fifth-grade teacher Cora Bailey, and her aunt, Carrie Spry. She ran barefoot on dirt roads to practice; Her stumbling block became her stepping stone and this kind of “no excuses” training made her the best athlete in Georgia in high school. She was recruited by Tuskegee and won national championships for track and field and in 1948, dazzled the world in the Olympic Games! King George VI of England put some respect on her name and the gold medal around her neck. Mirror Work: Flex in the mirror. Yell “Game Time!” Start clapping.
