What they do notice is how your office feels—the friendliness of the team, the clarity of billing, the comfort of the environment, and the way they're treated as people. Dr. Killeen shares how focusing on these “non-dental” details creates the kind of experience that patients remember and talk about.To learn more about Dr. Killeen & his new book The Shift, his upcoming 2-day workshop in Lincoln, NE, or to connect with him, check out www.AddisonKilleen.com.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen unpacks the two big leadership chasms every dentist faces. The first is moving from clinician to owner—a transition that feels exciting and rewarding. The second is the tougher leap: from owner to executive. Reviewing P&Ls, evaluating marketing ROI, and managing HR may not feel glamorous, but it's the work that makes the biggest long-term impact on your practice.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares one of his favorite stories—the Empty Boat Mindset. When life bumps into us with frustrations, conflicts, or unexpected challenges, it's easy to assume someone is out to disrupt us. But what if, like the drifting empty boat, there's no intent at all? Addison connects this lesson with Stoic wisdom from Epictetus: we can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. Learn how to create space between stimulus and response, release unnecessary anger, and steer your own boat with calm and clarity.

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen digs into some surprising data: cosmetic dentistry searches have dropped nearly 40% in the past year. But instead of just blaming market shifts, he looks deeper—at branding. Are dental offices chasing Instagram-worthy design trends that don't actually resonate with patients? From “hipster dentist vibes” to boutique hotel-style waiting rooms, Addison explains why patients often just want clean, modern, and trustworthy—not flashy or intimidating. He leaves you with a simple challenge: walk through your office like a new patient and ask, “What does this space say about us—and is that the message we want to send?”

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares how he approaches one-on-one meetings with his associates. While the numbers are part of the conversation, the real focus is on listening—asking questions like What's going well? What's not? Where can I help remove barriers? These simple conversations build trust, align goals, and strengthen the team. It's less about pushing production and more about working together toward shared success.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen answers a common question: “What's your goal for book sales?” His honest reply—he doesn't care about the numbers. For him, writing The Shift was already worth it because of the process: becoming a better writer, learning to tackle something difficult, and putting in the hours of revisions to create meaningful work. Anything good takes time, recalculations, and persistence—and that's exactly what this book represents. Whether you've read it yet or not, Dr. Killeen shares why the journey itself was the real reward.To learn more about Dr. Killeen and his new book, The Shift, or to connect with him, check out www.AddisonKilleen.com.

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on why some dentists thrive with positivity and forward thinking while others—equally successful—get stuck in a negative spiral. Drawing on the wisdom of Epictetus, he reminds us that it's not outside events but our own judgments that disturb us. Stress, fear, and attachments can steal our clarity if we let them. Instead, freedom comes from focusing only on what we can control—our character, choices, and response. This is a mindset shift every dentist and business owner can use to stay grounded and resilient.To learn more about Dr. Killeen and his new book, The Shift, or to connect with him, check out www.AddisonKilleen.com.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has left hospitals in ruins, humanitarian corridors blocked, and millions of civilians struggling to survive. In this episode of The Voices of War, Maz speaks with Ashley Killeen, Director of Engagement at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Australia & New Zealand, about what it means to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza while upholding neutrality in the face of accusations of genocide and systematic violence. With MSF doctors and nurses forced to work in decimated hospitals, perform amputations without anaesthetic, and place five babies in a single incubator, Gaza's collapse is exposing the limits of neutrality in modern conflict. Ashley explains why MSF calls Gaza a “systematic genocide”, the ethical red lines Israel wants humanitarian organisations to cross, and why silence can make humanitarians complicit. This episode dives deep into the medical ethics of war, the weaponisation of aid, and the toll on humanitarian staff who bear witness in one of the most politically charged conflicts of our time. It asks the hardest question: when does neutrality protect, and when does it kill? Resources This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing. – Read the report: https://msf.org.au/sites/default/files/2025-08/msf_gazareport_thisisnotaid.pdf Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Australia – Support their work: https://msf.org.au/donate The Voices of War Podcast Website – Full episodes and extras: https://thevoicesofwar.com Newsletter – Join for deeper analysis and updates: https://thevoicesofwar.substack.com
