About this listen

Where dentists learn how to cut clinical days while increasing profits - without sacrificing patient care, cutting corners, or cranking volume. We teach you how to grow a scalable practice through communication, leadership, and effective management.

Hosted by Dr. Paul Etchison, author of two books on dental practice management, dental coach, and owner of a $6M collections group practice in the south suburbs of Chicago, we provide actionable advice for practice owners who want to intentionally create more time to enjoy their families, wealth, and deep personal fulfillment.

If you want to build a scalable practice framework that no longer stresses, drains, or relies on you for every little thing, we will teach you how and share stories of other dentists who have done it!

We break the cycle by showing how to make progress without chaos: one focused change at a time, packaged around a clear outcome, supported by micro check-ins, and closed with a real finish line your team can trust.

  • Why Your Systems Aren’t Making You Money (And the Fix That Will)
    Dec 31 2025

    Most practices don’t fail for lack of systems—they fail because accountability shows up late, tense, and inconsistent. We unpack a practical way to fix that with the CVI method—curiosity, validation, and invitation—so your team follows through without fear, defensiveness, or drama. You’ll hear why “laminated” SOPs stall, how delayed feedback normalizes noncompliance, and how reframing protocols around patient outcomes and team fairness wins real buy-in.

    If this resonated, share it with a colleague, subscribe for more practical leadership tools, and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts so others can find the show. Got questions or want support? Book a free strategy call at dentalpracticeheroes.com/strategy.
