    We were excited to welcome back Dr. Ben Bratcher, owner of Legacy Dental Group in Canton, TX, to the studio to join Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox for a conversation about burnout in dentistry and how dentists can better manage the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the profession. Dr. Bratcher shares lessons from decades in practice, including the importance of building routines, surrounding yourself with the right people, and focusing on what you can control. The conversation also touches on the physical toll dentistry can take, why comparison and negativity can be harmful, and how dentists can stay grounded by investing in their teams, their communities, and their own personal growth. This episode is filled with tips on how to build a career in dentistry you can enjoy for the long run.  Dr. Bratcher also shares several books that have influenced his approach to leadership, mindset, and personal growth, which we've listed below for any listener who wants to check them out.

    On this episode of MB2 Underground, Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox talk through what private practitioners should consider when evaluating a transition.
