    Finding Joy in the Grind: Why Giving Matters More Than Getting

    What keeps you going when the work is demanding and the days feel relentless? In this solo episode of Everyday Oral Surgery, Dr. Grant Stucki reflects on why giving often leads to deeper, more lasting fulfillment than receiving. He shares lessons from residency, mentorship, and years in practice, exploring how a mindset of contribution shapes both personal growth and the future of the profession. Dr. Stucki also offers a candid look at the time, cost, and intention behind producing the podcast, and the quiet rewards that come from helping others learn and advance.

Key Points From This Episode: Reflections on persistence, imperfection, and producing this podcast despite the challenges.Lessons from residency on being a proactive learner, not a passive participant.Choosing residents who give back to the profession, not just take from it.The lasting impact of attendings who sacrificed income to teach.Stepping back to ask what oral surgery has given you and how you can help others.Why giving leads to deeper, more lasting peace and fulfillment than receiving.What producing the podcast has cost, and why it has been worth it.Why altruistic giving is more powerful when nothing is expected in return.How giving back can help counter burnout and restore joy.An invitation to help one person, or a group of people, and notice how it brings joy.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Giftology — https://www.amazon.com/Giftology-Increase-Referrals-Strengthen-Retention/dp/1619614332 Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/  Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/  Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/ Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.com Dr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059
