Thanks for joining us for another episode. We are really excited to be joining you today from Grapevine, Texas at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's annual meeting. We're thrilled to be back at the AACD meeting. It's been some time and we’re so happy to be here with the Jameson team. I'm especially thrilled that we're spending some time today with our client, a great friend, Dr. Cappy Sinclair. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: Thank you. Carrie Webber: Dr. Sinclair, thank you so much for being with us. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: Glad to be here. Carrie Webber: Before we started this episode, we were reminiscing that Dr. Sinclair was the Jameson Files’ very first podcast guest when we launched the podcast in 2019. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: And I got invited back. Carrie Webber: I know. It was a success. So we'll see how you do this time. No pressure. I’m thrilled that you’re here. There are two episodes with Dr. Sinclair from very early on in the podcast, and I invite and encourage you to go find those episodes because I still feel like they're very powerful, and you shared some great information and insights in those episodes. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: I talk about that probably at least once a week to someone that reaches out and wants to know how I got to where I am and what was the most important thing that I did. I still feel like one of the most important things was setting up where I wanted my practice to be. Without that vision, I would not be where I am today. Dr. Sinclair’s Beginnings with the AACD Carrie Webber: I love that. I love that. And speaking of establishing that vision of where you are, not only in how your practice runs, but in the clinical skills that you do, you have chosen to become deeply involved with the AACD and have been for several years now. Would you tell us a little bit about how you chose to be a part of this organization and a little bit of how you started within this, because now you are an accredited member? For those of you that aren't familiar with that process, boy, that is a feat. That's a lot of work and effort. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: Besides starting my practice, I would say that's probably the one thing that I've learned more about anything else in dentistry– making myself a better dentist, seeing what education I should take, where I direct my attention– all of those things were because of trying to become accredited. Now being on the other side, we're starting to mentor other people that are going through this process. Having the insight of going through it myself, I can give them experiences that I learned along the way that hopefully will help them out. Carrie Webber: I love that. I love the story of the beginning of your relationship with this organization. I think it's pretty special for young doctors that are just getting started and really trying to find their way. Will you share that with the audience? Dr. Cappy Sinclair: This meeting's special in particular for me in Grapevine because this location was the first AACD meeting that I came to in 2010. I was actually working close by. I worked in Oklahoma City. I actually did not know you guys at that time, which is crazy. Carrie Webber: That's a strange connection. Dr. Cappy Sinclair: I worked for a group practice there and I just wasn't happy. And so long story short, I ended up quitting that job in May or April. And I knew this was going on in Dallas, so I tried to time my leaving that job with co...
