2495: Building a Dental Empire Without Losing Your Purpose

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Collin Myrick to talk about his journey from dental school graduate during the chaos of 2020 to building a fast-growing dental organization in Northwest Florida. Collin shares how an early mentor helped steer him away from medicine and toward dentistry, where he found the perfect blend of hands-on healing, entrepreneurship, and family-centered balance. He also opens up about buying his first small-town practice, scaling from a single four-operatory office into a multi-location group, and why faith, service, and long-term vision remain at the center of every decision he makes. Mark and Collin also dive into the realities of leadership, culture, and growth at scale. They discuss the importance of mission, vision, and core values, how to attract the right people, and why meaningful community impact can become a practice's greatest competitive advantage. From Give Kids a Smile Day to building an organization where team members feel connected to a bigger purpose, this conversation is packed with insight for dentists who want to grow without losing sight of what matters most.
