What does it mean to become an Orthopreneur? Hi there! My name is Dr. Glenn Krieger and I believe that in today’s competitive world, the orthodontic and dental communities should be collaborative. And I've created Orthopreneurs so that we can move towards that goal together. Orthodontists are smart people. You’ve accomplished a lot to get where you are, but chances are you never got a formal education in how to run the most effective and lowest stress practice possible. Don’t sweat it! Because we’ve got your back... Being an Orthopreneur means that you’re a part of a community. A community that brings peers together to become the best clinicians and the best business owners they can be. Becoming an Orthopreneurs means you never ever need to practice alone.

From Zero to Mastery: The 4ormula for Accurate Self-Assessment
Most of us have encountered the challenge of not knowing a team member's proficiency levels in something. The response we are likely to get from them isn’t helpful at all.
To solve this problem, I built The 4ormula to turn subjectivity to objectivity.
The formula can be applied to all aspects of life, including personal life, work, and parenting, to help individuals better communicate their proficiency in a specific area by objectively evaluating their skills.
Tune in to learn how it works!

The Science-Backed Longevity Tips You Need to Try for Optimal Health (Part 1)
If you may recall, a number of episodes ago, I interviewed Dr. Jeff Galvin of the Vitality Medical Wellness Institute about longevity tips to optimize our health.
We went into great detail on the limitations of modern medicine when it comes to optimizing health and some of the tools at our disposal in the burgeoning world of longevity and biohacking.
That episode elicited a lot of reactions and interest in some of the things we can do not only to live longer but live healthier and more productively.
My wife and I recently went to Charlotte, NC, for a full day of individualized testing and physical exams at Jeff’s clinic, and I used that opportunity to get many of the questions you've been asking answered.
We also dispel some myths and help you better understand some of the confusing things you might have come across.
This is a fascinating episode you don't wanna miss!

The Mindset Shift You Need to Take Your Practice to The Next Level
The number 1 thing that's keeping your practice from being where it should be if it isn't is you and your attitude.
That's right, and your mindset plays a key role.
You have to believe that you have an amazing practice and have a positive mindset because if you don't do that, you will never have one.
No matter the challenges in your practice today, you have to go in there each day with a positive mindset and a great attitude.
If you are to succeed in your personal and professional life, it will all stem from your body believing physiologically that you're in a good place.
Listen to this 5-minute episode for motivation on how to better your life.
Key Takeaways
- Attitude affects altitude (00:32)
- Focus on a positive mindset (02:24)
- Believe you are in a good place (03:13)
- The evil eye analogy (04:02)
- Put good out into the world, and good will come back to you (04:56)

Greatest Hits: Jonathan Nicozisis "The Power of No"
A few weeks ago, we featured Dr. Jonathan Nicozisis for the second time in the podcast. His story and perspectives on many orthodontic topics are invaluable. In this episode, we replay his first time on the Orthopreneur Podcast in our Greatest Hits Series.
In this episode, he shared his journey to becoming an orthodontist and the power of "No" as a motivator for success.
Dr. Jonathan Nicozisis is not one to give up after hearing a "No." Instead, he's always used "No" as a way of persevering and achieving what many felt was impossible.
He shared several interesting examples of this mindset in his career right from his dental school days. His perspectives on life and practice are sure to motivate you to push through those tough times.
Dr. Nicozisis is also an educator and lecturer who teaches internationally about new technologies and improvements of Invisalign. He is a member of the Invisalign National Speaker Bureau and Clinical Research Network.
Several years ago, I was as anti-aligner as anybody you could ever meet. And then, I had the opportunity to watch Dr. Nicozisis at a conference. He showed me what one could do with plastic and how you can achieve the same results with aligners as you could with brackets and wires.
He was generous with his time and has helped me realize how to implement plastic in my practice in a way I never really imagined possible.
We talked extensively about aligners in this episode and why every orthodontist should learn how to move teeth with plastic.
Key Takeaways
- The power of NO as a motivator (04:52)
- Take a chance and see what happens (26:11)
- Keeping yourself in front of your peers (32:06)
- Aligner Intensive Fellowship Course (37:47)
- Cases you can't do with aligners (43:57)
- The advantages of incorporating an Invisalign-focused practice (01:03:21)
- Top 5 albums if you are stuck on a desert island (01:09:41)

Customer Reviews
Transformative Resource
I’m not sure why it took me so long to write a 5-Star review of Glenn’s OP Podcast. I began listening to it and 5-min Fridays several years ago when all the various orthodontic podcasts where competing for our attention. There is no question that the OrthoPreneurs Podcast stands head and shoulders above the rest in its ability to transform your practice and personal life….if you are willing to commit to making the necessary changes and have the courage to act upon the ideas described by Glenn and his guests. This podcast was a game-changer in my practice’s productivity, my outlook for my professional future and my preparation for retirement. It has taught me how to better enjoy the time I have with family and friends, knowing that my professional life is well-managed. I would recommend this podcast for all orthodontists, dentists and even non-dental entrepreneurs looking to be more productive, a better leader and live a more satisfied life.
Helpful
