Most dentists are drowning in tools:

Notion, Airtable, Slack, Zapier, project boards, “AI hacks,” and a dozen logins.

Very few have real systems.

In this AI Leverage episode of the Next Level Dentist podcast, I sit down with Sam Sutton – the ops brain behind Tom Youngs’ Scale 20 mastermind – the guy who first dragged me into the Claude Code “matrix.”

Neither of us are developers. Neither of us sell apps.

But we both use Claude Code every day to run real businesses.

This conversation is about how non‑technical dentists can think about AI the right way:

- Systems first

- Leverage second

- Tools last

I’m Dr. Richard Low:

- Dentist & former CEO of 35 dental practices

- Founder of the #1 rated practice‑ownership podcast in dentistry

- Burned out, rebuilt my life around faith, family, and fitness

- Now coaching 50+ male practice‑owner dentists inside Next Level Fathers to lose weight, reconnect with God, and lead better at home

In this episode, we cover:

1. Sam’s journey: from almost-teacher to AI ops guy in Switzerland

- Dropping out of a teaching track (math & English)

- Failing around in a marketing agency

- Mandatory Swiss military service

- Running ops for an AI sales assistant software

- Ending up building systems and AI workflows with Tom Youngs

2. Why you don’t need 100 AI tools

- The trap of “5 new AI tools a week” vs actually getting work done

- Why Zapier, Notion, Airtable, Slack, etc. are enough when used well

- How they decided to build their own app only where it beat the Frankenstein stack

3. Claude vs ChatGPT vs everything else

- ChatGPT + Claude are all most small business owners need

- Claude Code vs Codex (desktop “operator” vs browser “chat buddy”)

- Why we both lean Claude for thinking, honesty, and projects

4. The real play: systems before AI

- Deciding: “Do we buy a 3rd‑party tool or build simple, specific workflows on top of Claude Code?”

- Examples:

Internal check-in system for clients

Custom dashboards built on top of Airtable/Notion instead of 5 different views

When NOT to replace rock-solid tools like Notion or Slack

5. Getting over the “first weekend” with Claude Code

- Installing the desktop app, Homebrew, Git, plugin marketplace

- Why the first 48 hours feel overwhelming… and then it suddenly becomes normal

- How to use Claude itself to fix Claude’s install problems (screenshot → “help me, what now?”)

6. Future‑proofing yourself as a dentist

- Stop embedding your life in tools that won’t integrate with AI

- Start building markdown (.md) context files about you, your practice, and your systems

- Why solving your own real problems is the best way to learn Claude Code
