Welcome to a rebroadcast of one of the most downloaded episodes of the Noobie Dentist podcast with Dr. Bruce Freeman. This episode, originally released on March 5, 2018, quickly became the most downloaded episode and served as a tipping point for the podcast. Beyond download numbers and podcast growth, it allowed me to connect with Dr. Freeman and he has become a great friend and mentor. As it is graduation season in North America and a lot of the listeners are based in the United States and Canada, we thought that it would be a great opportunity to rebroadcast this episode as so many of its lessons and themes are directly applicable to the new grads entering the profession.
Dr. Freeman has certainly remained active since the airing of the original interview. He has been busy travelling all across the country lecturing on patient experience, continuing his work with the oro-facial pain clinic in Toronto and has just earned his yoga instructors credentials and is hoping to use yoga, breathing and mindfulness exercises to help dentists improve their mental health.

Original Show Notes (episode 14):
A special 2 part series with Dr. Bruce V Freeman (@drbvf)! Dr. Bruce Freeman is a well renowned and respected orthodontist in Toronto who works in private practice and one of the top teaching hospitals in Canada where he focuses on oro-facial pain and TMD! He has become a mentor and someone who I often turn to for advice! Outside of dentistry, Dr. Freeman is an avid chef and likes experimenting with various recipes baking with grass fed butter! This 2 part series is special for me as it marks the first podcasts that I recorded in person with the guest.
In part 1 of this 2 part series, we focus on life outside of dentistry talking about various topics including finding a good work life balance, dealing with the ups and downs of being a dentist, burnout and a recurring topic on the noobiedentist podcast; side hustles!
As I’ve often mentioned in my podcasts, I’m a big fan of the long form interviews such as the ones done by Tim Ferriss and so this 2 part series is an exciting one for me! I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did recording them with Dr. Freeman!
