🎧 Episode: From Drill to Dream — Reinventing Life After Dentistry

What happens when your identity has been built around a dental chair… and suddenly, it’s time to walk away?

In this powerful episode, Tim McNeely sits down with a dentist-turned-coach who’s guiding clinicians through one of the biggest transitions of their lives—retirement. But not the kind filled with boredom or confusion. We’re talking intentional reinvention.

Together, we explore:

• Why retirement is not a destination—but a new era of enjoyment

• The emotional surprises that come with leaving practice

• How to navigate the grief, excitement, and identity shift

• The role of travel in anchoring transformation and purpose

• What it means to become a modern elder with legacy in mind

Whether retirement is 2 years or 20 years away, this conversation will challenge you to think differently, dream bigger, and prepare more meaningfully.

🎯 You’ll leave this episode knowing how to talk about what retirement can be, with a new mindset of curiosity—and feeling more excited than ever about what’s next.

🎙️ Exciting news! In our latest episode of Dental Wealth Nation, we had the pleasure of speaking with Vincent Cardillo, an experienced dental entrepreneur who went from being a sole practitioner to owning multiple dental support organizations (DSOs). Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Capturing the culture and organizational structure at one location makes it easier to expand to other locations. By establishing clear values, mission, and purpose and incentivizing them, you can align your team and create a strong foundation for growth.

2️⃣ Having a robust administrative team focused on operational aspects, such as tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), understanding profit and loss statements (PNL), and implementing marketing campaigns, is crucial for the success of a DSO. Building an infrastructure that supports the practices' financial health and growth is key.

3️⃣ Dentistry is a people practice, and success comes from serving as many people as possible. While DSOs may have more marketing dollars, single doctors have the opportunity to provide the same benefits, albeit at a cost. It's important not to get caught up in the fear surrounding DSOs but instead invest in oneself and consider owning one or two practices.
