    Episode 124 | AI Beyond the Buzzwords | Justin Carroll and Clint Ellenberg

    AI is evolving faster than ever, but how much of it is actually making a difference in dentistry? On this episode of MB2 Underground, hosts JT and Sarah welcome back MB2 Dental CFO Justin Carroll and CRO Clint Ellenberg to discuss the growing role of artificial intelligence in dental practices and how MB2 is using it to create real value for its partners. They break down where AI is already making an impact, from simplifying everyday operations and reducing costs to identifying opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. They also share why having the right data matters, what practices should consider before adopting new technology, and how AI can help teams spend less time on administrative tasks and more time focusing on patients. And because AI doesn't stop at the office, the conversation takes a few entertaining turns into how they're using it in their everyday lives. Tune in to hear what's working, what's next, and how AI is changing the way dental practices operate.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen to the MB2 Underground Podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Dz26h...

    Re-Release | Preparing to Sell: Is Your Practice Ready? | Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox

    On this episode of MB2 Underground, Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox talk through what private practitioners should consider when evaluating a transition. Drawing from thousands of conversations with dentists across the country, they discuss the importance of defining your "why," understanding the differences between selling to another doctor, a traditional DSO model, or a partnership structure, and the information to prepare before entering the process. We're re-releasing this conversation ahead of MB2's upcoming live webinar, Preparing to Transition: Sell vs. Partner, on September 29 at 5:30 PM CT. Jonathan Tyroch and Omar Jaroun will take the conversation even further, breaking down what doctors should consider when preparing for a transition and the differences between selling and partnering. Register for the live webinar: https://hubs.la/Q04yghTr0 The conversation also explores why pain should not simply be accepted as part of the profession, the importance of addressing small issues before they become larger problems, and how taking care of your body can support a longer, healthier career in dentistry.
