In this episode, Dr. Jeff Buske challenges listeners to take a hard look at what they’re tolerating in their dental practice, business, and life. Whether it’s lazy team members, broken systems, or patients who drain mental capacity, allowing mediocrity to persist lowers standards and erodes excellence. Through a powerful personal story about standing firm in treatment decisions, the episode highlights why strong leadership means setting non-negotiable boundaries. Listeners will gain key insights into how unchecked tolerance creates stress, inefficiency, and burnout. More importantly, they’ll learn how to shift their mindset—understanding that what they accept in their business also bleeds into their relationships, health, and spirituality.
