🎙 The Dental Collective Podcast Hosted by Michael McCoy & Casey Trout – Co-Founders of Dental Collective We’re just two former dental sales reps turned GPO founders who’ve spent over a decade supporting some of the smartest clinicians and industry innovators around. The Dental Collective Podcast is our way of pulling back the curtain on the dental world—from vendor partners and cutting-edge tech to the humans behind the companies shaping the future of dentistry. Each episode, we sit down with our partners, clinicians, or Dental Collective members to dive into their stories, explore what they’re building, and highlight the real value they bring to practices like yours. We may not be the smartest guys in the room—but we’ve learned a thing or two over the years, and we’re here to share it all (with a few laughs along the way). Real stories. Real insights. No fluff. Just a couple of “dummies” talking teeth.
