The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
Running a financial advisory firm often looks appealing from the outside: freedom, flexibility, and income potential. But the reality of being a true business owner requires an entirely different skill set. In this episode, Libby sits down with Hannah Moore to have an honest, vulnerable conversation about what it really takes to move from advisor to CEO, including the emotional, operational, and leadership challenges that often go unspoken ✨In this episode, you'll learn:Why owning a firm is fundamentally different from being a great financial advisor, and why most advisors are unprepared for that shiftHow Hannah navigated massive business transitions, including reducing her client base, growing two companies, and building a leadership teamWhat it actually looks like to delegate meaningful responsibilities like sales calls and client relationshipsHow ego, identity, and grief can quietly hold advisors back from scaling their firmsWhy self-awareness is one of the most important traits of successful advisors and CEOsThis episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn't come from doing more, but from letting go, building trust in your team, and stepping fully into the CEO role. If you're feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or stuck in the day-to-day, this conversation will help you see what's possible on the other side of intentional leadership.Find Hannah on LinkedIn HERE!Learn more about Amplified Planning HERE!Learn more about the Group Coaching & Mastermind HERE!

What happens when you let your P&L get ugly on purpose? This dentist explains how he scaled to $8M fast—and why profitability became the next big challenge.
Ever set a production goal that felt exciting, then realized the math didn't support it? We walk through a clear, no-fluff framework that turns revenue wishes into achievable targets by anchoring everything to one number: dollar per clinical hour. From there, we test whether your current systems can carry that load—diagnosis habits, treatment acceptance, and patient volume—and show how small, targeted adjustments create outsized gains without adding chaos to your week.We start by reverse-engineering annual revenue into a realistic hourly target and explain why that figure becomes your true north for scheduling, staffing, and time off. Then we dig into the three levers of growth. First, diagnosis: how to set ethical, consistent criteria, present risk clearly, and avoid the trap of under-diagnosing teeth at obvious risk of catastrophic fracture. Second, case acceptance: practical scripts and front-desk tactics for surfacing objections, clarifying value, and making financing easy so more patients say yes to care they need. Third, volume: when and how to expand through marketing, better phone conversion, airtight recall, and full hygiene capacity without burning out your team.The payoff is predictability. We show how to translate your dollar-per-hour into a block schedule that builds steady production days rather than volatile peaks and valleys. By aligning each provider—including hygiene—to a defined target and a purpose-built template, you reduce stress, hit goal consistently, and reclaim control of your calendar. You'll walk away ready to set numbers that make sense, diagnose with confidence, lift acceptance with simple training, and choose whether to grow through volume—on your own terms.

The panel breaks down how marketing, operations, and financial strategy must work together to drive sustainable growth without burnout.From tracking real ROI in marketing to improving case acceptance and building systems that support both profitability and lifestyle, this episode sets the foundation for what modern dental leadership looks like.Key TakeawaysSuccess today is more than revenue A successful dental practice balances strong collections with profitability, lifestyle flexibility, and personal fulfillment.Top-line growth without bottom-line control is dangerous High revenue means nothing if margins are thin. Profitability and cash flow matter more than ever.Marketing must be measurable Website traffic and rankings don't pay the bills new patients, collections, and ROI do. Integration with practice management software is critical.Operations make or break marketing Even the best marketing fails if front desk systems, case presentations, and patient experience aren't aligned.Data visibility across the entire pipeline is essential From leads → appointments → case acceptance → collections, successful owners track every stage.Growth requires systems, not hustle Sustainable growth comes from leadership, team retention, clear communication, and predictable processes not longer hours.You can't do it alone High-performing practices invest in expert support marketing, operations, and finance to scale efficiently.Seasons matter Balance looks different at different stages of ownership. Clarity, reflection, and intentional decision-making are key.

In this Efficient Friday episode, Libby speaks directly to advisors who have spent the year learning, consuming content, and gathering ideas, but now need a clear path to action. She challenges you to stop over-educating and start implementing by creating intentional space on your calendar to actually get things done as you plan for 2026
Most healthcare professionals are trained to sprint.Dental school is a sprint. Medical school is a sprint. Residency is a sprint. Early practice ownership often feels like one long push fueled by adrenaline, discipline, and grit. That approach can work for a while. Eventually, it breaks down.In this episode of The Burleson Box, Dustin Burleson sits down with Travis Frederickson and Dr. Logan Frederickson to unpack what peak performance actually means for healthcare providers over the long term.Travis draws on decades of experience training elite athletes and coaching high-performing professionals. Dr. Logan brings the medical perspective, explaining what happens physiologically and neurologically when stress, sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, and constant mental load remain unchecked.Together, they explore why so many dentists and physicians feel successful yet depleted, how energy becomes the real constraint later in a career, and why healthspan matters as much as lifespan. The conversation moves beyond productivity tips and into the deeper work of alignment across physical, mental, emotional, and personal domains.This episode challenges the idea that more effort is always the answer and replaces it with a more durable framework for clarity, sustainability, and long-term excellence. If you care about performing well at work without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sense of purpose, this conversation is worth your time.

Most practices don't fail for lack of systems—they fail because accountability shows up late, tense, and inconsistent. We unpack a practical way to fix that with the CVI method—curiosity, validation, and invitation—so your team follows through without fear, defensiveness, or drama. You'll hear why “laminated” SOPs stall, how delayed feedback normalizes noncompliance, and how reframing protocols around patient outcomes and team fairness wins real buy-in.If this resonated, share it with a colleague, subscribe for more practical leadership tools, and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts so others can find the show.

Ever feel like your checklists are getting longer while your problems get louder? We shine a light on the quiet force that stalls growth in so many dental practices: the truth everyone knows but no one says. Borrowing the concept of “mokita,” we explore how unspoken issues infect culture, erode patient experience, and drain profit—then we show you how to end the silence without blowing up your team.We walk through a simple, repeatable framework for tough conversations: Ask permission, State how you feel, Share the issue clearly, and Seek to understand. You'll hear how this approach lowers defensiveness, creates psychological safety, and replaces gossip with honest dialogue. From chronically late hygiene schedules to front desk friction, we unpack how to distinguish a process problem from a conversation problem, and why addressing the latter first makes your systems actually work. Real-world examples reveal how a single candid talk can outperform a dozen SOP tweaks.By the end, you'll have a practical script for tackling your biggest cultural bottlenecks and a weekly challenge to surface one mokita and resolve it. Expect fewer energy leaks, stronger accountability, and a smoother, more profitable practice that runs on trust. Ready to lead with clarity and courage?
