About Next Level Executive
For dentists ready to grow from practice owner to business leader. You built a successful dental practice. You show up, you produce, and by every visible measure you have made it. But somewhere between your second hire and your hundredth patient, a new question started forming: what am I actually building toward? Maybe you are wondering whether to bring on an associate, add a second location, or finally have the partnership conversation you have been putting off. Maybe the practice runs well, but only because you are in it every single day, and that realization is starting to feel less like success and more like a ceiling. You did not go to dental school to become a business owner. But here you are, at the top of your own org chart, with no one above you to ask whether you are doing this right. Next Level Executive is a weekly podcast for dentists and dental practice owners who are ready to grow from clinician to CEO. Each episode goes deep on the leadership, ownership, and growth strategy decisions that no one teaches you in dental school: how to build a team that performs without you in the room, how to evaluate and structure associate partnerships, how to add locations without doubling your stress load, and how to lead a multi-location dental practice with the confidence of someone who has done it before. No fluff. No motivation. Just the specific, practical business education that dentist entrepreneurs actually need to build a dental practice that works without them, grow into a group practice they are proud of, and lead with the clarity and confidence the next chapter demands. If you have been searching for answers on dental business strategy, practice growth, or what it actually takes to lead and scale a dental practice, you are in the right place. Over 100 episodes available now. Push play.

Why We’re Going to Have 2 or 3 More DSOs IPO in the next 18 months
Published 1 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Most private equity-backed DSOs do not allow for what's known as put-in-call rights for shareholders, meaning that the only way for you to get the equity you rolled out of the company is for the company to first recap and then return some or all of the value of your holdings. The other alternative is that you can leave the company and simply forfeit your holdings because I doubt many would allow for what's known as non-operating partners either, meaning someone to own shares in the company without actually being employed by or working for the company. Such a lack of liquidity and a lack of options can quickly make for very disgruntled senior owners who feel trapped in a business they no longer control. […]
