The Magic of Thinking Big
Episode 257, Sep 29, 2020, 05:30 PM
In this super fun episode of the Savvy Dentist Podcast, I invited my good friend Geoff Hall. Geoff is the founder of Ortho Ed, an Orthodontic Education Program. He has 27 years and over 10,000 cases of orthodontic experience.
Geoff shares his vast experience in dentistry, learning to spot opportunities, and recovering from ideas that don’t work. He also talks to us about life lessons, wisdom and actionable ideas that we can implement in our practice today that will eventually give us great results. He inspires us to think outside the box and never give up. For anyone with an entrepreneurial dream, you’ll definitely want to listen to this conversation with Geoff.
