What’s really driving dentist burnout—and how can you build a practice that actually gives you freedom? It’s not just insurance. It’s not just staffing. And it’s not just marketing.
Eric is joined by Dr. Craig Spodak of the Bulletproof Dental Practice to talk about the real struggles dentists face, from one-size-fits-all consulting to the pressure of building practices they don’t even want. Craig shares his personal story of burnout, the turning points that reshaped his career, and how Bulletproof is helping dentists create businesses that align with their lives—not someone else’s playbook. Whether you’re debating dropping PPOs, growing multiple locations, or simply trying to avoid feeling trapped by your practice, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom, candid stories, and hope for the future of dentistry.
