Dream Big: Lisa Fischer-Herdt’s Rise in the World of Dental Sleep Solutions

Lisa joins Mike and Nareman from Ocala, Florida to talk about her new role as President of Dental Sleep Solutions and the mission behind it: helping dentists implement proven systems—software, medical billing, and education—to treat obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliances. She explains how these devices work, why more payers expect patients to try dental solutions before certain surgeries, and what “whole-practice” support looks like for teams.

Beyond the business, Lisa gets personal: moving from Kentucky to Florida to pursue opportunity, rebounding from divorce, and learning to slow down and celebrate wins. She also opens up about leadership—empowering teams with an “bring options, not just problems” mindset, keeping an open door, and jumping in when members need help. We wrap with habits for work-life balance (No-Meeting Wednesdays, stacking meetings on Mondays, blocking gym time), books that shaped her thinking (Good to Great), and what’s next: bringing back in-person events with top KOLs to expand access to care.
