Welcome to the very first episode of The Dentists Show! We’re Chase Davis and Ryan Bushman, two dentists who’ve been through the highs, the lows, and all the laughs in between. After taking one dental practice and scaling it to seven (with over $20 million in revenue), we’re here to show you that dentistry can be more than just a job—it can be a career you actually love. Let’s be real: there were moments when we wanted to trade in dental drills for jet skis or even another field. But instead of jumping ship, we figured out how to make dentistry work for us. In this episode, we’re diving into the mindset shifts, team culture hacks, and lessons learned that helped us go from burnout to building practices where people actually want to work. We’re sharing everything—like how to fire that assistant who’s driving you nuts, why culture is key, and how giving back to the dental community has been out secret sauce to finding fulfillment. Dentistry doesn’t have to suck, and we’re living proof that you can create a career you love. Whether you’re a young dentist just starting out, a mid-life doc wondering if it’s too late to make a change, or a dental practice owner looking for new ideas, this episode is for you. Come laugh with us, learn from our mistakes, and maybe even steal a tip or two to make your Mondays suck a little less. 👉 Hit play now to hear the full conversation.
