A candid transition episode that honors legacy, embraces change, and sets a clear new direction for the Everyday Practices Dental Podcast with a renewed focus on patient experience and internal marketing.

In Part Two of this series, the conversation shifts from difficult patient interactions to the positive moments that quietly shape how dentists see themselves and their work.

Regan Robertson, Dr. Chad Johnson, and Dr. Maggie Augustyn reflect on patients who extended trust before it felt earned, moments of grace under pressure, and early career experiences that still influence how they show up decades later.

Through stories from dental school, unexpected complications, and deeply human exchanges, this episode explores how perspective, compassion, and trust can recalibrate a dentist's approach to leadership and care.

In part one of this two part series, Regan Robertson puts Dr. Chad Johnson and Dr. Maggie Augustyn in the interview seat to explore how contrast becomes a teacher in dentistry.

Through real patient encounters, one centered on pricing pressure and another on a deeply personal boundary being crossed, the conversation examines how dentists are shaped by moments that do not feel productive at the time, but leave a lasting imprint on how they communicate, lead, and show up for patients.

These are not ideal scenarios. They are real ones.

Before you step away for the holidays, Regan, Chad, and Maggie break down the exact moves they use inside their own practices to design a year that performs better, feels lighter, and stays on track. This is the simple planning routine most dentists skip and regret skipping.

This episode cuts through the myth that growth must always be forward. Dr. Chad Johnson and Regan Robertson have an unfiltered conversation about stalled momentum, personal losses, and the quiet moments where a dentist must decide whether to push harder or pull back. This is a rare look at the internal battle behind recalibrating your life, your practice, and your identity.

What your website reflects determines how much patients trust you before they ever step through your doors. Regan Robertson sits down with Phoenix Dental Agency's Kenny Davenport and Sara Hansen to uncover the uncomfortable truth about online presence, conversion, and what patients really see when they find you online before they ever meet you in person.

After two record years of 17 and 28 percent growth, Dr. Chris Comer hit the stall. Instead of chasing more production or new toys, he rebuilt his foundation. This episode reveals how scheduling, delegation, and culture alignment brought balance back to growth.

What if peace, not productivity, was the real measure of success? Brandi Marzolino joins Regan Robertson and Dr. Chad Johnson to explore how courage, contentment, and self-awareness can transform leadership and life in dentistry.
