682. Playing the Next Note

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a story from his college days playing violin at late-night jazz sessions in St. Louis—and the lesson it carries for life and dentistry. Inspired by a Miles Davis quote, he unpacks why mistakes don’t define us, but our response to them does. From missed opportunities to off-key patient interactions, it’s not about avoiding wrong notes—it’s about adaptability, learning, and choosing what you play next.To learn more about Dr. Killeen and his two-day event in Lincoln, NE or to connect with him, check out www.AddisonKilleen.com.
