The Bulletproof Approach to Dentistry | Dr Craig Spodak, DMD

In this episode of Teeth Matter, I sit down with Dr. Craig Spodak (@craigspodak) , a third-generation dentist and owner of Spodak Dental Group, to discuss the evolution of dentistry and the realities of practice ownership. As the co-founder of Bulletproof Dental Practice and co-author of The Bulletproof Dental Practice, Dr. Spodak shares insights on building a resilient, efficient, and profitable practice. We dive into what it means to be a "bulletproof" dentist, the difference between vision and goals, the psychology of success, and the role of self-development, continuing education, and so much more. We also explore how associates can apply these principles to build a strong foundation for their careers. Whether you're a new dentist or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways for your career.Topics Covered in This Episode:The evolution of dentistry and where it's headedThe pervasive narrative about being an associateThe reality vs. expectations of owning a dental practiceGoal setting techniquesDefining what it means to be a "bulletproof" dentistApplying the "bulletproof" mindset as an associate to build long-term successConnect with Dr. Craig Spodak:Website: Spodak Dental GroupBulletproof Dental Practice Book: https://www.amazon.com/Bulletproof-Practice-Peter-Boulden/dp/1947341294Bulletproof Summit: https://www.bulletproofsummit.com/Bulletproof Podcast: https://www.bulletproofdentalpractice.com/category/podcast/Instagram: @craigspodak___________Don't miss out on these deals: Prioritize your wellness—shop my daily essentials here: ⁠⁠⁠https://teethmatter.squarespace.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ COCOFLOSS - Use code TM20 to get 20% off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cocofloss.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FIGS - Use referral code to get 20% off ⁠⁠https://fbuy.io/figs/elliehalabian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to join the conversation about the realities of dentistry, follow: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@_teethmatter⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ellie Halabian⁠⁠⁠⁠__________________________If you enjoy the podcast, subscribe and rate ⭐️.
