Most dentists weren’t taught how to manage the business, tax, and legal side of running a practice—and it can cost them hundreds of thousands.

In this episode, Linda Kane talks with Gary Harker about tax strategies, asset protection, cash flow, lawsuits, and the financial blind spots many dentists face. Gary shares some of the best ways practice owners can better protect their business, reduce stress, and make smarter financial decisions.

If tax season feels painful or cash flow always feels tight, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, Linda Kane is joined by Laura Johnston, Founder & CEO of My Dental SOP, to uncover why so many dental offices struggle with inconsistency, turnover, and daily overwhelm—and how to fix it with simple, scalable systems.

• Why most SOPs fail (and how to fix them)
• The danger of “tribal knowledge” in your practice
• How to create a single source of truth for your team
• Simple ways to improve onboarding and training

Break free from the fight-or-flight cycle in dentistry. Grow your practice.

In this episode, Linda sits down with Cassie Tallon to unpack how fear-based leadership keeps entire practices stuck in survival mode—and what it actually takes to break the cycle.

Together, they talk about:

• Why so many dental teams are stuck in fight-or-flight
• How fear-based leadership impacts culture, communication, and growth
• What servant leadership actually looks like in real life—not theory
• The power of 20 seconds of courage to change conversations and outcomes
• Why slowing down, asking better questions, and leading with care matters more than ever

Cassie shares insights and stories on how to lead with intention, support your team, and create a practice that feels better to run—and performs better too.

Because the real transformation doesn’t start with systems.
It starts with how you lead.
