I finished high school in 3 years. At 17 I moved out with my little sister. She was 10. I worked 3 jobs during college.

Years later I opened my practice in the middle of COVID and ex-employer lawsuit. Everyone said wait. My first marketing company stole $50k from me. We hit $1M in year 1 with $0 in paid marketing.

I didn’t feel ready for any of it. I still don’t most days. Every manual at my office has been rewritten more times than I can count, because I keep finding a better way and sharing it anyway.

That’s every oldest daughter I know. We don’t wait to be ready because nobody’s coming to do it for us.

There’s a version of you who wishes they saw someone sharing their version 1.

Send this to the oldest daughter in your life. 🤍

Flew to Miami for a room that pours into me.

“(Micro)manage during the week, not during operations.” That’s what David Sinopoli, the pioneer behind Club Space, shared with our Founders Club room.

In a club, the work happens before the doors open. During the show, you don’t correct your team, because your guests feel that weight.

Hospitality has so much to teach us in dentistry, and I’m taking this one back to my office.

As a dentist, you’re directing and performing at the same time. And most dentists don’t even have meetings with their teams.

So where does the managing happen? In the chair. Mid-procedure. In front of the patient.

Here’s how I run it:
Morning huddles prep the day. If something goes wrong chairside, we fix it in real time so the patient never feels it. That’s our standard of care.

But I don’t coach or rebuild systems mid-procedure. Team challenges wait for our weekly power hour.

(Micro)manage in the meeting, not in the chair.

When does your team meet?

I used to have it all wrong.
I thought if people were talented and hardworking, that was enough. I didn’t have a real structure for evaluating my team — I was going off gut feelings, loyalty, and hope.

Then I started running every person through 2 simple checks, and everything changed especially when a people problem showed up and I couldn’t figure out why things kept breaking down.

The truth is, most people problems aren’t personality problems. They’re a culture misalignment or a seat misalignment — and once you know which one, you know exactly what to do.

🤔 What happens when you have the right person in the wrong seat? Or the wrong person in the right seat? Or worst… the wrong person in the wrong seat? Practice owners and managers, grow through this in my Vision-to-Practice course.

Save this carousel. Use it the next time you hire, the next time you review, and the next time something feels off with your team.

& if you’re really brave — run it on yourself too.

IYKYK. Man if I only had “yes (wo)men” on my team, I wouldn’t have sustainable businesses. So put your pride aside and tag those teammates who look out for your blind spots and protect the greater good of the business.

I got asked on Saturday what about being a woman has helped me in dentistry.

Clinically, it’s obvious. Women are natural caretakers and nurturers. That’s served me in being a very patient, empathetic dentist.

A lot of dentistry is helping people overcome fear. Listening. Meeting people where they’re at. Creating a space where someone feels safe enough to say, “I’m scared.” Women tend to be really good at that.

But the question got even more interesting when we started talking about tech. Because stepping into tech, you quickly realize it’s historically been a male-dominated space. And it’s not about women coming in and competing with men.

It’s asking: How do we take what’s already been built… and make it even better?

Because women bring something powerful to the table there too:
We build around people.
We listen to the actual users.
We design systems that make life easier, not just more efficient.

Different strengths.
Same mission: move the industry forward.
