    #196 The OI Show - Are you breaking the law by having a Virtual Team? With Cory Pinegar

    Send us Fan Mail About Cory Pinegar Cory was the one who did the interview with Dr. Kading and so I am sending along his headshot and bio: Cory Pinegar is Chief Executive Officer of Utah-based CallForce, a groundbreaking dental service startup helping dental practices increase patient engagement and revenue. In 2016, at the age of  22, Cory struck gold and purchased the company—then named Recall Solutions—from software giant Weave for just one dollar. Since then, the visionary entrepreneur has grown CallForce from 35 clients to nearly 3,000 and with a workforce of close to 200 employees. CallForce has been named one of the fastest-growing companies by Inc. 500 and has been recognized repeatedly by the Salt Lake Tribune as one of the Best Places to Work.  In 2021, Cory founded the remote staffing company Teem, which helps simplify hiring international talent. Teem allows businesses to circumvent domestic staffing issues and find qualified talent without worrying about complicated research to understand legalities, fair compensation, and the like.  Cory sits on the boards of software-driven dental insurance verification company Verrific as well as The Parkinson's Foundation, devoted to finding a cure for the disease his father was diagnosed with in 2014. Cory studied economics and business at Brigham Young University and spends his leisure time skiing, playing golf, and enjoying the mountain lifestyle.
