2435: The Case for Mentors in Modern Dental Startups

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by DSI Black Belt coach and co-founder of The Practice Launchpad, Dr. Chris Green, for an in-depth conversation on startup success in today's challenging dental landscape. Chris shares his journey of building a ground-up dental practice from a shell, highlighting lessons learned around construction, IT, design, and avoiding costly rookie mistakes.  The duo also explores why the fundamentals of a successful startup haven't changed, despite the rise in costs and consolidation across the industry. They emphasize the importance of mentorship—not as a sales pitch, but as a strategic move to compress time and reduce the "ignorance tax" that comes with going it alone. Whether you're a new grad or a seasoned doc considering your first (or next) startup, this episode delivers actionable insights to stack the deck in your favor.
