You’re Not Behind. You May Be in the Wrong Season.
<p>Not every season of life or practice is meant for growth.</p><p>Some seasons are for building. Others are for pruning, recovery, harvest, or finally confronting what has been quietly ignored. The challenge is recognizing what season you are actually in—and having the courage to do the work that season requires.</p><p>In this midyear episode, Dr. Greg Grillo reflects on leadership, change, time, and the danger of carrying old strategies into a new season. Drawing from dentistry, Stoic wisdom, and the ancient stories of Heraclitus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Cincinnatus, he explores why success is not always about doing more and why some of the most important progress remains invisible for a long time.</p><p>This is a thoughtful summer reset for practice owners who want to lead with greater clarity, protect what matters, and enter the second half of the year with intention rather than momentum alone.</p>

Why Dentists Still Hurt: The Truth About Posture, Stretching, and Ergonomics with Dr. John Besharse
<p>Neck pain, shoulder tension, headaches, and lower back discomfort have become so common in dentistry that many providers accept them as part of the profession.</p><p>But what if the conventional advice is incomplete?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>CEO Chairside</strong>, Dr. Greg Grillo talks with Dr. John Besharse, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and founder of The Dental Physical Therapist.</p><p>Dr. Besharse challenges some of dentistry’s most common assumptions about posture, stretching, massage, and ergonomic equipment. He explains why static positioning is so physically demanding, why a “tight” muscle may actually need activation rather than more stretching, and why even the best loupes or saddle stool cannot compensate for a body that has not been prepared for the demands of the operatory.</p><p>The conversation also explores simple movements dental professionals can perform between patients, the areas of the body most commonly neglected, and why dentists, hygienists, and assistants should begin viewing themselves as occupational athletes.</p><p>You’ll learn:</p><p>• Why perfect posture may not be the answer<br>• How static positioning contributes to pain and fatigue<br>• Why temporary relief does not always address the root problem<br>• The difference between stretching a muscle and activating it<br>• A simple exercise that can be performed inside the dental office<br>• Why physical resilience affects focus, productivity, team reliability, and career longevity<br>• What practice owners can do to help protect their entire clinical team</p><p>Dental professionals invest heavily in technology, equipment, education, and their practices. This episode is an important reminder to invest in the one piece of equipment every procedure depends on: <strong>your body</strong>.</p><p><br></p>

Are You Living From Vacation to Vacation?
<p>Most conversations about work-life balance assume that life can be divided into neat, equal portions. But dentistry, business ownership, leadership, marriage, and parenting rarely work that way.</p><p>In this reflective monologue, Dr. Greg Grillo explores a different way to think about a sustainable and fulfilling life: not as a perfectly balanced scale, but as a wave with natural periods of effort, momentum, resistance, and recovery.</p><p>Greg examines why so many driven professionals find themselves living from vacation to vacation, physically leaving work while remaining mentally trapped there, and confusing collapse with genuine rest. Drawing from his own experience as a dentist and practice owner, workplace research, and the wisdom of the Stoics, he explains how ambition and delayed gratification can quietly become the habit of delaying life.</p><p>This episode offers practical ways to create a healthier rhythm, including measuring the real sources of energy loss, establishing a recovery floor, building intentional transitions out of work, and separating personal responsibility from outcomes that cannot be controlled.</p><p>The goal is not to eliminate life’s peaks and valleys. It's to make the movement between them less destructive, while building ordinary days that feel meaningful enough that we no longer need to escape our lives in order to feel alive.</p>
