The Dental Wealth Nation Show is for practice owners building toward — or navigating through — the most consequential financial event of their career: the exit.
Host Tim McNeely operates LifeStone, serving 8-figure dental entrepreneurs. At this level, wealth doesn't manage itself — it requires coordinated advice across tax, legal, investment, and exit strategy. His clients don't need another advisor. They need a financial quarterback who sequences the team they already have.
Tim holds the rare combination of CFP®, CIMA®, CEPA®, and CPFA® designations — a credential stack bridging comprehensive wealth management with specialized exit planning.
Each episode unpacks the coordination failures that cost practice owners millions: mistimed exits, fragmented tax strategies, wealth structures that don't survive the transition from practice income to portfolio income. You'll hear direct conversations with elite tax counsel, M&A specialists, and practice owners who've already made the crossing.

Dental practice exit planning requires more than financial strategy—it demands identity reinvention after decades in clinical practice. In this episode of The Dental Wealth Nation Show, Tim McNeely interviews Julie Kellogg, a dentist-turned-coach specializing in helping clinicians navigate the psychological and practical dimensions of retirement and career transition.
The Identity Challenge of Leaving Dentistry:
Many dental entrepreneurs face an unexpected crisis when exiting their practice: the loss of professional identity. This conversation explores how to separate your self-worth from your clinical role and build meaningful purpose beyond the dental chair.
Strategies for Successful Dental Practice Transitions:
- Psychological preparation before and after your practice exit
- Creating fulfilling post-dentistry identity and income streams
- Building legacy projects that extend your clinical impact
- Navigating relationships and lifestyle changes during major career transitions
Why This Matters for 8-Figure Dental Entrepreneurs:
Building substantial practice value is only half the equation. Without intentional planning for life after dentistry, even successful exits leave clinicians struggling with purpose and direction. Julie shares frameworks for designing a fulfilling next chapter while LifeStone handles the wealth and exit mechanics.
Whether you're three years or three months from your exit, this episode addresses the human side of dental practice succession that most advisors overlook. Tim and Julie discuss concrete steps for identity work, relationship management, and creating multiple revenue streams post-practice.
