    A Journey to Find Happiness & Fulfillment in Life (w/Kendall DeLuke) [Ep.84]

    Earlier this year, I got to sit on the other side of the microphone and be interviewed by my daughter, Kendall!  As part of her ACE General Paper class, Kendall had to select someone to interview to learn more about their live story and journey and she chose me!  So we figured we’d record it and let everyone hear our conversation!  With the Holidays upon us, I figured it was a good episode to repost as a reminder to focus on family, faith, and constantly working to grow and become your best self. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  See you in the New Year! [My apologies on the audio - there was an issue with Kendall's mic] Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode: ·         Why I became an orthodontist. ·         The reasons why I decided to open my own practice right out of my residency. ·         The resources I used to learn how to run a business. ·         How I became involved in airway orthodontics and using braces and wires to expand/develop the arches of younger children. ·         The impact that changing lives with airway-focused orthodontic treatment had on me. ·         The struggle I faced after firing my associate 3 weeks into his employment. ·         How I transitioned from running a successful private practice to teaching and coaching full-time, and the role that the COVID-19 shutdown played in this. ·         Why we picked up our family and moved from Upstate NY to Florida in 2021, the challenges we faced, and how we’re doing now. ·         Whether I have any regrets about leaving private practice to teach full-time. ·         The importance of having a vision of the type of person you want to be and the type of life you want to live. ·         The role that faith has played in my personal and professional journey.
