MyStory #1: Dr. Brown's Reappointment Fix

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 428 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Dr. Cary Brown  DESCRIPTION "MyStory" is a new Bulletproof series where real dentists share their real story: what's working, what's not, and the questions they can't get answered anywhere else. Each episode is a one-hour Master Class. Peter and Craig give practical advice, just like they do inside our Mastermind Program and at the Bulletproof Summit.  The point is simple: you'll hear your own challenges in someone else's story, and leave with clear steps you can use right away to shift your mindset, strengthen your practice, and avoid the mistakes that make growth harder than it needs to be.
