Dr. Dhru Shah: Pizza Scraps to a Dental Empire

Today’s guest is arguably the most passionate man in dentistry. He is a Specialist Periodontist and the founder of Dentinal Tubules, a global community dedicated to the "growth" of the profession.But Dhru Shah’s story is one of extreme resilience. From growing up in Kenya and seeing his family’s wealth wiped out by a banking scandal, he survived dental school on Maryland cookies and leftover pizza scraps while working night shifts in shoe shops.He opens up about the darkest moments: the tragic loss of his sister which fueled his drive, the near-bankruptcy of Tubules in 2018 where he was days away from losing everything, and the "proper burnout" in 2023 where he collapsed on his sofa in tears.We discuss the difference between "Education" (knowledge) and "Growth" (application), why he ran a webinar every single night during COVID, and his vision to inspire 2 billion people.This is a raw and deeply inspiring conversation about finding your purpose when the world tries to break you. Let's get into it.https://www.henryschein.co.uk/
