    How Dentists Can Thrive in the Age of Disruption

    In this solo episode, Jesse unpacks what it really means to lead a dental practice during a time of massive technological upheaval.

Through candid stories, strategic insights, and practical takeaways, Jesse challenges practice owners to stop burying their heads in the sand and start leading with clarity, purpose, and adaptability.

    REPUBLISH: Going to Zero Clinical Days with Dr Michael Filosi

    If you're a practice owner who's always wondered, “how do I build a business so that I can create time freedom in my life”? Then this is an episode you're going to really love. In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green is speaking to Dr. Michael Filosi from Fullarton Park Dental in Adelaide.  Michael has been on quite the journey over the last eight years. He bought a two chair practice, scaled that up to be an eight chair practice, and will soon be upgrading it to a 10 chair practice. In so doing, he's reduced his clinical hours down to zero which has given him immense freedom.  Michael discusses his journey and explains some of the lessons he's learned along the way. Lessons that are going to be applicable to you if that's the journey you want to go on. In this episode: [3:58] - The original purchase back 9 years ago looked completely different to the efficient practice it is today.[8:27] - A wholesale practice purchase, verse, a partnership purchase.[11:34] - Having a very clear vision has helped Michael create and grow the business. He shares his tips on how to create that vision, and then how to work ‘hard’ towards achieving the outcome.[22:16] - Michael describes in detail the process and learnings from starting with 2 chairs nine years ago … to 8 chairs today.[31:04] - Increasing the patient flow meant installing better more efficient communication systems. Michael explains how he did it and how his team embraced the growth of the practice.[44:30] - Moving to (almost) zero clinical hours afforded Michael freedom to do the things he loves the most.

    515. REPUBLISH: Shark Attack Survivor’s Guide to Business Resilience with Brett Connellan

    Turning the worst day of your life into your best is no easy feat, but sometimes there is simply no other option. In Brett Connellan’s case, this day included the moment every surfer’s worst nightmare became his reality when he was attacked by a Great White Shark. In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast Dr. Jesse Green introduces you to Brett Connellan. The events that saved Brett’s life were not lost on him, and that perspective was needed as he faced a long and challenging road to recovery. With a bleak outlook prescribed to him by doctors, it was evident that Brett’s life as he knew it would never be the same. These moments in time are pivotal in any person’s life as they often lead to a questioning of purpose and identity. The recovery forced Brett to "climb a new mountain" in his words and develop a different mindset towards resilience. So how does Brett’s experience with a shark relate to you and your business? Well, press play and be ready to be inspired in ways you could never have thought possible. [4:46] - Brett explains the shark attack in chilling detail., right down to the ‘feel’ of shark skin.[9:22] - The chaos and the calm from when the rescue began.[15:33] - What we can all learn from traumatic events and apply in our own lives daily.[26:13] - How to recognise the lucky moments in your everyday life.[29:32] - Brett explains his road to recovery and the similarities to running business. Physical vs. Mental.[36:01] - The wisest most inspiring words Brett was told during his recovery. “People fail not from aiming too high and missing, but from aiming too low and hitting”[46:49] - Facing your biggest fear and turning it into a compelling vision for the future.
