Starting a business

We chat with three dentists who run their own business and ask when is the right time to take the leap? What are the right motivations? What were the obstacles they encountered and ultimately, is it worth it? 

Our guests have all taken risks to own their businesses including taking over an independent practice, building a ten-site empire and creating a digital start-up. 

Join us for a frank and open conversation about entrepreneurship as a career choice in dentistry.
