The Dental Experience Podcast with Ryan Vet

On this episode of The Dental Experience Podcast, Ryan Vet and Kevin Henry are joined by Dr. Bob Martino for a special live episode at The Hinman Dental Meeting. Dr. Martino speaks about putting how he has created a life of significance over success from starting seven practices, retiring once at 38 before getting back into his career and giving back to dentists. Dr. Martino shares how he began his career as a dentist before he was offered the opportunity to take over another practice, and then another, and then several more. Dr. Martino decided when he was running five separate practices that he didn’t have the time to be an efficient leader and care for patients at the same time so he became CEO. Dr. Martino mentions how it was really important to him that the dentist came to work, cared for their patients, and went home to enjoy time with their families. Dr. Martino states that when he was a dentist he just wanted to work with patients without having to worry about the firing and hiring processes that go into running a practice, despite being better at that side of things. Ryan, Kevin, and Dr. Martino discuss Freedom Day and the importance it holds.

Dr. Martino states that Freedom Day has grown so much bigger than he ever imagine but how it’s such a great thing as U.S. veterans and military members should have access to much better dental insurance than they do. Dr. Martino also talks about he is a serial entrepreneur and shares what other business ventures he is currently involved in. With all the experience Dr. Martino has from his many different ventures from running a multisite practice to working with the Queen of England, the biggest lesson he has learned is that you need to know what your why is and that has to be thing that drives you. Dr. Martino shares some final advice and expresses how if you do what you love you will never feel like you are working, you will enjoy Monday’s and experience great fulfilment!

What does wine have to do with dentistry? According to Katrina Sanders, the Dental WINEgenist, "We sometimes get away from the heart of what dentistry is which is the patient experience. It comes down to patients presenting with their own ideas, attitudes, values, cultures, very similar to when people are wine tasting and they come in with their own palettes, their own smells that they remember as a kid. It's a very unique experience for each person to taste wine, and it's a very unique experience for each patient when they come into the dental office.

The majority of dental professionals keep their money safe in mutual funds. This is known as a stable way to make a return on your money with a relatively low risk. However, for far too long, only the wealthiest of the wealthy could invest in private companies and funds. As such, the wealth gap continued to widen. Take Menlo Venture's investment in Uber for example. They made 93x on their investment in just a few short years. But that was reserved for the upper echelon of accredited investors. In this episode, founder and CEO of Kingscrowd, Chris Lustrino shares more about equity crowdfunding. No, this is not like Kickstarter. Ever since the JOBS Act approval, nearly anyone can invest in private companies. This provides more opportunity for people like you to invest in start-ups. Though investing in a start-up is risky, the return can be quite magnificent. To get your first 8 weeks of Kingscrowd for only $5, use coupon code DENTALKING. That's a steal :) Also, as of today, June 3, podcast host, Ryan Vet, is raising money for his start-up, Boon, on equity crowdfunding platform WeFunder. Click here for more information. Boon is an on-demand, dental temp agency.
