Ask George on dental CPAs in practice ownership: tax planning, embezzlement prevention, deposit ratios, expense categories, and why operational KPIs matter more than accounting for growth.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Erik Brenner, CFP and author of The Personal CFO Revolution, to discuss how dentists, physicians, and other high-income professionals can build a "personal CFO" framework without needing a nine-figure net worth. Erik explains how integrating investment management, tax planning, and retirement strategy under one coordinated plan mirrors the family office model traditionally reserved for the ultra-wealthy. They explore the critical difference between simply deferring taxes and truly mitigating them, why working with a fiduciary matters, and how proactive tax projections can dramatically impact long-term wealth. The conversation also covers strategies available to both practice owners and W2 earners, including oil and gas investments, solar tax credits, leveraged deductions, and opportunity zone planning. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow income while keeping more of what they earn. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

Ellen Coyne and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· Taoiseach Micheál Martin's St Patrick's Day visit to The White House to meet US president Donald Trump could prove awkward should he face questions about the US and Israel's military action against Iran, and its impact on the Middle East, Gulf regions and soaring fuel prices. Last year's meeting was a minefield to be navigated – perhaps Martin has learned from that experience.· A far less fraught meeting took place on Friday when the Taoiseach welcomed Britain's prime minister Keir Starmer to the UK-Ireland summit at Fota House in Cork. Security and co-operation were the order of the day, as Anglo-Irish relations continued to improve from a post-Brexit low.· And the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided this week, after a mere fifteen years, not to bring criminal charges against anyone arising from the Moriarty tribunal's final report in 2011. Michael Lowry and Denis O'Brien no doubt welcomed the decision.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The brave and anonymous women we all owe a debt, the beef between farmers and Government, and Patrick Freyne's golden age of male role models.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Anxiety, uncertainty, and small frictions in the waiting room can quietly drain trust before a patient ever reaches the chair. We walk through three simple, high‑leverage touch points that transform those first minutes into a calm, intentional start: orienting new patients to amenities and next steps, acknowledging delays with a clear time estimate, and setting expectations for early arrivals so the experience feels fair. These moves are easy to teach, quick to execute, and proven to raise referrals, boost case acceptance, and earn better reviews.Throughout, we connect these micro‑moments to macro outcomes: stronger trust, smoother visits, and higher acceptance of treatment recommendations. You'll leave with a mini playbook you can implement today—roles, timing triggers, and language that fits a modern, patient‑centered dental practice.

The quiet burnout high achievers never talk about. In today's episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy shares a real and honest check-in for deeply driven women in healthcare and dentistry who spend their lives caring for everyone else. Patients rely on you. Your team relies on you. Your family relies on you.

This episode is a reminder that even the strongest leaders need space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.Show notes:(2:01) Emotional weight of caring professions(6:20) Why the healthcare business model is broken(6:44) Distractions that hide uncomfortable truths(8:30) Dentist struggling with insurance pressures(12:35) Personal story about facing hard truths(16:52) Why emotional honesty builds stronger leaders(18:14) Growth waiting on the other side(19:12) Outro________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

What is a prompt, and how do AI models actually work? Which AI tools should you be using in dentistry? Is it safe to put patient details into AI—and how can it help you save time and reduce stress? In this episode, Dr. Daz Kasperek joins to make AI in dentistry tangible, even if you've never used it before. Together, we cover the basics: from getting started with prompts and AI models to understanding ethical considerations and practical ways AI can streamline your workflow. They also explore the bigger picture—how AI can improve efficiency, enhance patient communication, and give clinicians more time to enjoy life outside the clinic. https://youtu.be/cmin0h7GNyE Watch PDP260 on YouTube  Protrusive Dental Pearl: A free AI tool called Dental Disrupt Smile Simulator lets you upload a smile photo and instantly generate a realistic smile makeover simulation for patient discussions.

Jonathan Wong, the multifaceted "tattoo dentist", delves into his journey from being an entrepreneurial dentist to a lifestyle advocate who underscores discipline over motivation. Throughout the discussion, Jonathan offers insights into the significance of discipline, saying "It's the discipline that gets you to the gym...even when you don't want to." His story is woven with themes of resilience, self-reflection, and the importance of not just seeking success, but defining what success genuinely means. He shares his unique trajectory through the world of dentistry, fitness, and personal growth, and candidly reveals that his multicultural background fuels his resilient work ethic and desire to defy expectations. Highlighting his mentoring spirit, Jonathan stands as a testament to how commitment and self-belief can manifest into diverse avenues of success.Key Takeaways:Discipline Over Motivation: Jonathan Wong stresses the critical role of discipline in achieving goals, stating that it often surpasses motivation in importance.Lifestyle as a Marathon: Fitness and health are lifelong commitments, and Jonathan views them as ongoing journeys rather than short-term goals.Diverse Pathways to Success: Jonathan emphasizes that there's no single path to success; his own unique journey in dentistry and entrepreneurship demonstrates the variety in ways one can achieve their dreams.Visualizing Success: By visualizing multiple scenarios, Jonathan believes in mentally preparing for challenges, which helps in efficiently navigating life's uncertainties.Legacy and Mentoring: Jonathan aspires to inspire others not just through direct teaching but by living a life that leads by example, aligning with his father's educational ethos.Notable Quotes:"You could be the most motivated person to have no discipline. Right. And it won't happen.""I strive to be the best. But knowing there's no best endodontist means my motivation will never waver.""Don't be afraid to live outside the Matrix.""There's no one way to carve your own path. Just be the best at whatever you feel.""Money's just basically the freedom to do whatever you want. That's real success."Connect with Jonathan Wong:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter   Sometimes the most powerful management lessons come from honest conversations with dental professionals who are navigating the same challenges every day.   I'm sharing two recent post-lecture conversations that revealed common leadership struggles. One attendee shared how exhausted she felt in her role but also felt guilty about even thinking of leaving because of perceived obligations to the dentist. That moment highlighted the difference between working from obligation and working from a true sense of calling. Obligation is often driven by guilt and responsibility, which can eventually lead to burnout. A calling, on the other hand, is connected to purpose and growth, where the work still feels meaningful even on difficult days.   Another attendee expressed concern that she was falling behind other managers who seemed to be doing more with systems, technology, and AI. That conversation highlighted the danger of comparison. Instead of measuring success against others, a more productive mindset is curiosity. Observing what other practices are doing can inspire ideas and learning without creating unnecessary pressure. Every dental office operates differently, and professional growth comes from staying curious, building connections, and focusing on progress within your own environment.   Visit my website: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/ —-------------   Practice Management Power Day is happening in Denver, Colorado, and it is built for leaders who want real results.

A locked garage behind a quiet holiday cottage. A car filling with exhaust. And two bodies posed to tell a simple story: a suicide pact between two “betrayed” spouses.On May 19, 1991, in Castlerock, Northern Ireland, Lesley Howell (31) and Trevor Buchanan (32) are found dead inside a vehicle with a hose running from the exhaust into the car—an apparent double suicide that the community quickly accepts. Lesley is a mother of four. Trevor is a police constable and father. Both are mourned as victims of heartbreak and scandal.But the truth is darker—and it doesn't surface for nearly two decades.Behind the public grief, investigators will later learn, a secret affair and a ruthless plan were allegedly shaping events from the shadows. Colin Howell, a respected dentist and lay preacher, and Hazel Buchanan (later Hazel Stewart) are accused of plotting to remove their spouses and stage the scene to look like a tragic decision. The story moves from a “straightforward” death scene to something far more chilling: sedation, exhaust fumes, meticulous staging, and a lie that holds until January 2009, when Colin Howell finally breaks and confesses—first to church elders, then to police.The confession reopens everything. Hazel is arrested. In court, the case becomes a battle over what was done, what was admitted, and whether Hazel's role was coerced or fully complicit. The old garage scene is re-examined with a new question: not why would they do this? but who benefits if everyone believes they did?Inside this episodeThe discovery in Castlerock and why police initially believed it was a double suicideThe secret relationship hiding in plain sight inside a tight religious communityThe alleged method: sedatives + exhaust fumes and the “suicide pact” stagingHow the case stayed buried—until a confession detonated it in 2009The interrogation dispute: coercion vs. participationThe courtroom reckoning and the verdict that finally rewrote the official storyThis is a true crime nightmare about image, faith, control, and deception—and how a staged scene can trap the truth for years. We're telling that story tonight.

Send a textBefore this law, we started noticing something troubling — insurance companies were trying to shorten the timely filing period to just three months.Three months might sound fine on paper, but anyone who's ever worked the front desk knows that's barely enough time to process complex claims, wait on coordination of benefits, or deal with slow insurance responses. As a dentist and owner, you need to better understand what your front office team members deal with each day.Sometimes patients take a few weeks to give updated insurance information, or you're waiting on primary insurance to pay before submitting to secondary. In many cases, that process can easily stretch past three months.So that shorter window wasn't just inconvenient — it was setting offices up to lose legitimate reimbursements.Support the show

Occlusion cases stall when dentists focus only on how the teeth fit, instead of why the bite doesn't fit in the first place. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Jim McKee to explain the #1 thing dentists get wrong about occlusion—and why it's not the teeth. You'll learn how to redefine occlusion beyond tooth contacts, how disc displacement changes the bite, why many “malocclusions” should be considered joint-driven until proven otherwise, and how better diagnosis can create a restorative diagnostic practice model that attracts the right patients. listen to Episode 1017 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysOcclusion must be defined as both how the teeth fit together and how the joints fit together, because joint position drives tooth position.Many cases that stall in treatment planning stall because the dentist doesn't know how to manage occlusion and TMD variables.Clicking and popping joints are most often ligament tears that create a disc displacement, not “stretching” that resolves on its own.Instead of asking how to remove a posterior interference, the better question is why the interference exists in the first place.Class II malocclusions are often related to joint conditions, and the disc-condyle relationship can explain why the mandible isn't forward enough.If you wait for TMJ pain to appear, you are often late, because many adult TMD presentations started during growth years.Diagnosis requires appropriate imaging, and evaluating only hard tissue can miss the disc-condyle interface that drives growth and occlusal change.Snippets:00:00 Podcast Welcome01:10 Meet Dr Jim McKee02:25 Young Dentist Challenges04:17 Why Occlusion Stalls Cases07:02 Redefining Occlusion08:26 Class Two Joint Clues11:34 Disc Displacement Basics13:25 Injury Causes Clicking14:47 Gasket Analogy Explained17:39 Posterior Interference Rethink21:00 Reading Patient Red Flags22:53 Growth Airway MRI Debate26:16 Supporting Orthodontists Better27:21 Malocclusion Is Joint Driven28:02 Prevalence And Planting Seeds30:29 Diagnostic Records Practice Model31:50 Fees And Low Stress Workflow33:15 Rethinking Orofacial Pain36:40 Bruxism And Sympathetic Drive38:50 Patients Are Not Crazy40:01 Imaging Before Appliances41:37 TMD As Practice Growth Engine43:19 Referrals And Study Clubs44:33 Chicago Study Club And Courses47:52 Wrap Up And ResourcesGuest Bio/Guest Resource:Dr. Jim McKee is a restorative dentist and educator focused on occlusion, TMD, and restorative diagnosis.

This week, Jun and Daniel catch up on a whirlwind of events, starting with a frightening story about a fire at Jun's parents' house in Daegu that led to an unexpected fridge-clearing catharsis. Daniel shares observations from his recent trips to a Korean dentist, as well as a recent conversation with his kindergarten that perfectly illustrates the indirectness of the Korean language discussed last week. The hosts also debate the cultural mechanics of eating rice: why do some Korean poke places not give out chopsticks by default, and what is the primary utensil used to eat rice in Korea?If you're interested in the recent online turf war between Korean netizens (“Knetz”) and Southeast Asian K-pop fans (“SEAblings”) over concert etiquette, why Korean national pride during the Winter Olympics seems to be waning, or why Bad Bunny's culturally charged Super Bowl Halftime show might have ruffled some feathers, this episode is for you. We also discuss Korea's first single malt whiskey (Ki One), debate whether vinyl records are genuinely making a comeback or just a leftover "mid-century modern" prop, and reflect on a touching listener email regarding racial blindness and microaggressions.As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.
