In this episode, Jesse shares a powerful four-part framework to help dental practice owners not just survive, but thrive during economic downturns. Drawing inspiration from the medieval concept of a castle and its protective moat, Jesse introduces the MOAT strategy as a robust defence mechanism for your business.

Whether you're facing turbulent financial conditions or simply want to future-proof your practice, this episode will walk you through specific, actionable steps to bolster your practice's financial reserves, systemise operations, diversify patient acquisition, and master your time for strategic leadership.
