If you think dentistry and persuasion have nothing in common, think again. This week on BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with the wildly insightful and endlessly entertaining Dr. Chris Phelps—a dentist who not only scaled from one to four practices but also happens to run the legendary Cialdini Institute (yes, that Cialdini!). From test-cramming in dental school to building a student note empire, Dr. Phelps reveals how his entrepreneurial mindset first kicked in—and how it's shaped every business move since.In this episode, Dr. Phelps unpacks the psychology of why most dentists struggle with running their practices like actual businesses. You'll learn why intelligence and technical skill aren't enough to build a thriving practice—and how mindset, instinct, and yes, marketing, all play pivotal roles. He dives into the three root reasons dentists crash as entrepreneurs and reveals how applying Cialdini's Seven Principles of Persuasion changed the entire trajectory of his business (and can do the same for yours).But it's not just theory—Dr. Phelps drops real, jaw-dropping examples: like how a small tweak to a direct mail flyer doubled his response rate after 10 years of the same campaign. Whether you're a practice owner, marketer, or just someone who wants to ethically persuade people better (without being a sleazeball), this episode is an absolute gem. Plus—he's still a wet-finger dentist. Street cred intact.------Top TakeawaysEntrepreneurial instincts can be sparked anywhere—even in dental school.Most dentists are trained to be solo wolves, not leaders—entrepreneurship requires a total mindset shift.Cialdini's principles aren't just theory—they're battle-tested business tools.Persuasion isn't manipulation—it's a skill every leader should master (ethically!).Small tweaks (aka “small bigs”) can lead to massive ROI jumps in marketing. 

What do Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, and Mandy Keene have in common? They're all high-level thinkers—but Mandy's the one helping the other two level up. In this enlightening episode, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with long-time friend and legendary performance coach Mandy Keene to explore the invisible roadblocks holding even the most successful entrepreneurs back. From imposter syndrome to misunderstood personality types, Mandy breaks down the truth behind what really drives high performers—and what secretly slows them down.With over 25 years of coaching experience, Mandy shares how growing up in a “self-help household” led her to become a coach at just 21. She dives into her work with understand.me, a platform that layers multiple personality assessments to help entrepreneurs lead better, build stronger teams, and operate in full alignment with their core strengths. Tyler and Mandy swap insights, jokes, and truths about the mental games entrepreneurs play—and how knowing your strengths isn't just self-help fluff, but an actual business advantage.The episode also takes a heart-centered turn as Mandy opens up about her recent divorce and how she reframed it not as a failure, but a graduation. She discusses the power of support systems, why even coaches need coaching, and how vulnerability and leadership go hand-in-hand. If you've ever wondered why success sometimes still feels unfulfilling, or how to finally lean into your unique genius, this conversation will absolutely resonate.------Top TakeawaysEven high performers battle fear and shame. Imposter syndrome isn't a beginner problem—many seven- and eight-figure entrepreneurs still face it daily.Personality isn't the whole picture—but it's a powerful starting point. Mandy explains how tools like DISC, Myers-Briggs, and Enneagram layered together give a holistic view of someone's “entrepreneurial avatar.”Your biggest growth might be in the place you're resisting the most. Whether it's leadership, team building, or confronting personal setbacks, the real magic happens when you lean into the discomfort.------Chapters00:00 Introduction to Performance Coaching02:45 The Journey to Becoming a Performance Coach04:52 Understanding Imposter Syndrome08:37 The Importance of Personality Assessments11:57 Leveraging Strengths for Success20:59 Leadership Challenges for Entrepreneurs24:14 Redefining Failure and Seeking Support27:47 Personal Aspirations and Future Goals

I'm excited to have Tyler Jorgenson on today's episode of Firebuilders LIVE! He is going to TEACH YOU this → The first steps to starting an ecom business and creating a solid foundation succeed. CEO, professional speaker, radio talk show host and contributor to places like Entrepreneur, MSN and ABC News, Tyler Jorgenson sees the future...and that future is ecommerce. Through sweat, tears and persistence, Tyler has earned his way to the top of just about every chart. Pulling off super-human feats like building and launching 176 new shopify stores in 9 months -- that is a new store every 1.5 days -- If the work teaches you the work, Tyler has become a true master of his craft. But for him, it's not simply about money. It's about consciously creating a life that he loved and opportunities to be present with his kids. And it hasn't always been easy. In 2010 with a 4th child on the way and negative $17,000 in his bank account, Tyler focused his sights, buckled down and began to learn the important lessons the hard way. Tune in TODAY at 12pm EST and listen to Tyler's advice. Having built over 200 ecommerce stores and sourced products from hundreds of suppliers, he's been a part of some magnificent launches, as well as some colossal flops, and will lay out the secrets for getting you off the ground and into flight!
