In this episode of Earn It, Jennifer interviews Dr. Kristopher Alpers, founder of Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry and Adler PR client, to explore what it takes to build and scale a premier dental practice rooted in innovation, trust, and leadership.

Recognized as one of Arizona’s Best Doctors, Dr. Alpers has built a Scottsdale-based practice that blends cutting-edge technology with a deeply personalized, patient-first approach. From comprehensive 3D imaging and early-detection diagnostics to advanced cosmetic and implant solutions, he is redefining modern dentistry by prioritizing prevention and whole-body health. His philosophy is simple but powerful: patients should feel informed, empowered, and genuinely cared for — not rushed through an appointment.

Jen and Dr. Alpers discuss his journey from collegiate athlete to entrepreneur, the lessons in discipline and resilience that shaped his leadership style, and the realities of acquiring and growing a private practice. He shares how he has scaled his business while maintaining culture, invested heavily in team development, and leveraged emerging technologies, including AI, to elevate both clinical outcomes and the overall patient experience.

The conversation also dives into mentorship, community involvement and why giving back is a core pillar of his business model. From coaching fellow dentists nationwide to his continued service with The Neighborhood Christian Clinic, Dr. Alpers believes true success is measured by impact beyond his own walls. He also shares surprising oral health facts, key business lessons learned along the way, and his perspective on where healthcare and dentistry are headed in the years ahead.

Season 2 of Earn It kicks off with a conversation that perfectly captures what this show is all about: building success through hard work, relationships and giving back to the local community.

In this episode, Jen is joined by longtime Adler PR client and friend, Kirk McClure, a construction industry leader at JE Dunn Construction and founder of two golf-focused ventures – Stadium Classic and 3Ten.

Kirk shares his path into the construction industry, how he carved out a niche in new business development, and what his client solutions role at JE Dunn entails. He also opens up about what it’s like to balance a demanding full-time career while building and scaling two side businesses, both related to his passion for golf. With Stadium Classic around the corner, this timely episode dives into how Kirk has grown the annual event into one of the Valley’s most unique and impactful charity golf tournaments supporting deserving nonprofits.

Throughout the conversation, Kirk and Jen discuss leadership, lessons learned along the way, the power of community involvement, and the effectiveness of PR for both large corporate organizations and mission-driven nonprofits.

This episode is a must-listen for professionals who want to grow their careers, entrepreneurs building something on the side, and anyone who believes success is more meaningful when it’s used to make a difference.

In this Season 1 finale of Earn It, Jen is joined by Adler PR client, Adam Strecker, CEO and founding partner of Hi Noon Hospitality, the locally-owned restaurant group behind Valley favorites Buck & Rider, Ingo’s Tasty Food, and its newest concept, Pinyon Coastal Mediterranean.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Adam’s passion for food started early and was shaped by his love of fishing, cooking, and hospitality. After joining the military to pay for college, he earned a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of New Orleans and went on to spend a decade with Hillstone Restaurant Group before joining LGO Hospitality. Over 15 years with LGO, Adam rose to Partner, COO, and President, while co-founding Buck & Rider and Ingo’s along the way.

In this episode, Adam shares how a relentless commitment to quality, consistency, and craft has guided every stage of his career, from opening a single restaurant to thoughtfully scaling multiple concepts without cutting corners. He discusses the discipline required to grow a local restaurant group, why design details and service standards matter just as much as the menu, and how Hi Noon Hospitality continues to build brands that stand the test of time.

If you’re an entrepreneur or aspiring restaurateur, this episode is packed with wisdom gained from decades of working in all aspects of the restaurant industry and offers a behind-the-scenes look at what is required to create standout restaurant concepts.
