Is your dental practice running you, or are you running it?

Too many dentists silently suffer under the weight of stress, burnout, and the painful feeling that despite all their training, they’re stuck. In this raw, real episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske shares how he went from being a frustrated, overworked associate on the brink of leaving dentistry to building a life and practice marked by true freedom, production, and purpose.

Dr. Buske, founder of Limitless Dentists, takes us back to 2004, a moment when he almost walked away from it all. With elite training in full-mouth rehab, esthetics, and implantology, he still couldn’t find the patient flow or fulfillment he craved. A chance meeting with Bruce Baird changed everything, introducing him to three foundational pillars: people, processes, and systems. But even as he became a high-producing dentist with multiple practices, Jeff discovered something deeper, he wasn’t free.

This episode dives into how Dr. Buske broke the chains of stress, addiction, and disconnection to embrace a new identity and a powerful framework: the Limitless Method. He outlines the necessary identity shifts that take you from prisoner to producer, and ultimately, to a life of freedom, connection, and impact.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

→ The hidden pain many dentists face behind the scenes

→ Why clinical training alone isn’t enough for success

→ The moment that sparked a radical life and career transformation

→ How to apply the Triangle of Transformation for real results

→ What freedom actually looks like, and how to build it

“Even though I was producing and owning practices… I still wasn’t free. The practices owned me.”
