from Travis, Can I Have This?

In this episode, I’m reflecting on a major milestone: five years since COVID-19 upended our lives, especially in dentistry.While it might feel like too soon to talk about, I can’t shake the memories of those chaotic first months. So today, I’m sharing five real stories from the early days of COVID—from a client who saw it coming to a new practice owner who had the worst timing ever. We’ll also dive into what we learned about banking relationships, tax credits, and financial behavior.What You’ll Learn:How unpredictable the world can be—and why preparation beats prediction.The importance of banking relationships (looking at you, Wells Fargo).How the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) turned into the Wild West of accounting.Why “free money” didn’t change bad spending habits.Got a COVID story?
