In the world of private practice ownership, you’ve probably heard comparisons to legendary entrepreneurs like Bill Gates. But here’s the question worth asking: What makes the “Bill Gates of dentistry” in today’s landscape? Is it financial success alone—or is there more beneath the surface?

This episode of the podcast dives into the surprising mindset shift that separates the truly extraordinary doctors from everyone else. And if you’re planning to open your own dental practice, trust me—these are the lessons you want to internalize now, not 10 years in.
