Talking to Dr. David Rice, a dentist working with dental assistants
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">What happens when a dentist truly champions the people at the chairside? In this episode, I got to talk with Dr. David Rice, a practicing dentist, best-selling author of From Student to CEO, Editor-in-Chief of DentistryIQ, and founder of igniteDDS, the nation's largest community for new dentists and dental students.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Dr. Rice has built his career around a team-centered philosophy, and he doesn't hold back on why dental assistants are far more than support staff; they're essential to the success of every procedure, every patient interaction, and every thriving practice. We dig into how dentists and assistants can work better together, how doctors can actually utilize their assistants to their full potential, and what it takes to build a practice culture where the whole team can grow.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Whether you're an assistant looking to be seen for your value or a dentist wanting to lead a stronger team, this conversation is packed with practical, real-world insight you can bring back to your operatory tomorrow.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Follow Dr. David Rice on Instagram: <a class= "underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href="https://www.instagram.com/drdavidrice">@drdavidrice</a></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/thesocialasst?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw=="> @thesocialasst</a></p>

Talking about Leadership and Boundaries with Brandi Marzolino
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> As dental assistants, we talk about these all the time. We push hard to be team players — and still feel unseen.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> This week, I sit down with Brandi Marzolino from The Real Talk of Dental podcast. We dig into what boundaries actually look like for DAs, and how setting them is its own form of leadership.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Brandi shares a killer comparison — dental assistants and flower pots. You've got to be in the right-sized pot to grow. It's a good one. Tune in.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/brandi.marzolino?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw=="> Brandi on Instagram</a></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandimarzolino/">Brandi on LinkedIn</a></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> <a href= "https://courageandjoyatwork.com/">CourageandJoyatWork.com</a></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/thesocialasst?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw=="> Rochelle - The Social Assistant</a></p>
