Welcome to Success Story! This episode is an introduction to what's going on in the podcast through this season up until winter.

'The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.' George Bernard Shaw
This is the first part of a three-part episode series where Colin explores the meaning of disagreeability in what he understands it to be. It would be nice for us to think that the people who change the world are always lovely, fluffy, cuddly people who are nice to everybody but I am sure a lot of the time that is not the case. It's just not possible to get things done.
In these three episodes, we're going to look at the possibility that we need to harness disagreeability, but I guess first we need to know what disagreeability is. 

Steve Booth is the Straumann UK Managing Director. He is an innovative, resilient and inspirational business leader with a reputation for logical, values-based decision-making and Steve has a superpower.
In this episode, Colin talks to Steve Booth about his superpower and how that's impacted his work but also explores how that restricts him. Using the means of hiring and firing to demonstrate that there may be a better way to unleash people's superpowers and use them in the world.

In this episode, Colin enters into conversation with his long-time hero, mentor, and friend, John Gibson about his mammoth walk from Land’s End to John o’Groats to launch The Canmore Trust in honour of his son, Cameron, who tragically took his own life towards the end of 2019.
This will be part 1 of a part 3 series, which will reveal John's potted history of his career and his contribution to dentistry.

Rony Jung is one of the most famous implant clinicians in the world. He is the Chairman of the Department of Reconstructive Dentistry at the University of Zurich, which is now graded as about the eighth best dental school in the world but is heading way into the top five and beyond under Rony's leadership. He is an implant surgeon, a restorative clinician, a periodontist by stealth, a disruptive researcher, and an amazing teacher - but this wasn't always Rony's initial plan.
 
In this chat with Colin, Rony talks through his various occupations whilst always remaining positive and enthusiastic about what each door opens. As well as how he uses storytelling in his teaching, how his family is his biggest achievement and how staying curious is the secret key to life.
