  • MyStory #3: The Father-Son Practice Problem

    MyStory #3: The Father-Son Practice Problem
    2026/04/28
    Dr. X graduated two years ago and joined his father's practice with the understanding that one day it would be his. But right now, he's paid a daily rate, produces a fraction of the revenue, and has no formal path to ownership. His dad, a 35-year veteran producing $1.5M a year, loves dentistry and isn't slowing down. Meanwhile, Dr. X is sitting in half-empty chairs, struggling to grow, and watching his vision for the future clash with his father's comfort zone. In this raw MyStory episode, Craig, Peter, and Ian unpack everything Dr. X is up against: a team that doesn't see him as the leader, a business that's built around one producer, and a mindset that's quietly holding him back. Craig shares his own painful experience navigating the same dynamic with his father and the fights that nearly destroyed their relationship. The conversation goes deep on knowing your numbers, building a vision bigger than yourself, and why the hardest conversation you'll ever have might be the one that changes everything. CASE STUDY: Second-generation dentist, two years out of school, working in his father's practice with no equity and no succession plan. $2.1M practice, dad produces $1.5M, Dr. X produces $400K, hygiene makes up the restPaid a daily rate with no production-based compensation7 to 8 operatories currently, 2 underutilized, only in-network with Delta4 to 10 new patients per month, net growth is negativeDad is 68, estimates 6 years left, not looking to invest capitalDr. X wants 14 ops, associates, and $500K net without producingTeam doesn't know the vision, dad doesn't share it, no alignment$500K at 20% profit margin = $2.5M collections, doable with current chairs at ~$310K per chairBiggest barrier isn't capacity, it's one honest conversation with dad about vision, price, and timeline DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 434 HOSTS:Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak and Ian de Jongh GUEST: Dr. X MyStory is a new Bulletproof series where real dentists share their real story: what's working, what's not, and the questions they can't get answered anywhere else.

  • You are not Alone: Mental Health in Dentistry

    You are not Alone: Mental Health in Dentistry
    2026/04/20

    Craig and Peter reflect on the early days of Bulletproof and the personal challenges that led to its creation, sharing raw insights into burnout, leadership struggles, loneliness, and the pressure of owning a dental practice. From feeling trapped in the operatory to navigating team breakdowns and personal crises, this conversation highlights the reality many dentists face but few talk about.


    HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak and Ian de Jongh

    DESCRIPTION

    In this episode, Peter Boulden, Craig Spodak, and Ian open up about a topic rarely discussed in dentistry, mental health, burnout, and the hidden struggles behind success.

    The episode emphasizes the importance of community, mentorship, and changing inputs to shift outcomes. It also challenges the culture of comparison and social media "peacocking" that often deepens dissatisfaction in the profession.

    If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or alone in your journey, this episode is a reminder, you're not alone, and there is a path forward.

    TAKEAWAYS

    • Dentistry has high rates of burnout, depression, and dissatisfaction

    • Many dentists struggle in silence due to fear of showing weakness

    • Social media comparison can amplify feelings of failure

    • Community and mentorship are essential for growth and resilience

    • Your inputs (environment, people, learning) determine your outcomes

    • Leadership struggles often stem from internal challenges

    • Success comes from learning new skills and changing perspectives

    • Avoid making major decisions while in crisis

    • Building the right circle can transform both business and life

    • Growth requires both personal development and business strategy

  • MyStory #2: Dr. Donnie's First 6 Months in Ownership

    MyStory #2: Dr. Donnie's First 6 Months in Ownership
    2026/04/16

    Dr. Donnie bought his dental practice just 6 months ago, and he's already facing the challenges every new owner hits. In this raw and honest "MyStory" episode, Craig and Peter sit down with Dr. Donnie to unpack the real problems he's navigating as a first-time practice owner: arbitrary revenue goals with no math to back them up, two part-time associates who aren't pulling their weight, a rocky practice management software switch mid-transition, a team that says everything's fine but clearly isn't, and a leadership style that's more people-pleasing than people-leading.

    The guys break it all down, from reverse-engineering his $3M dream with actual operatory data, to why his bonus system could quietly be killing his margins, to the hard truth about what it means to lead vs. manage a team you inherited.

    Case Study:

    Dr. Donnie Wiggins

    Single Practice Owner

    Based in New Jersey (commuting from Brooklyn, NY)

    Purchased Practice: September 2025

    Experience: 6 months into ownership
