In this episode, Cheech sits down with Dr Janice Kan, a leading prosthodontist and Founder of Centre For Prosthodontics, one of Australia’s largest and most respected prosthodontic groups.

Janice’s journey spans Hong Kong’s bustling streets, Australia’s migrant experience, the emotional weight of loss, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence in dentistry and leadership. She opens up about growing up under tiger-parent expectations, migrating during Hong Kong’s mass exodus, navigating grief as a teenager, and how those early years shaped her resilience, discipline, and worldview.

She also shares what it truly takes to rise in one of dentistry’s most demanding specialties, how prosthodontics goes far beyond technical skill, and how she’s built a multi-location specialist practice grounded in care, precision, and values, all while continuing her global leadership journey through executive education.

This conversation goes far beyond dentistry. It’s about identity, responsibility, sacrifice, reinvention, and leading with purpose, even when the path isn’t clear. Cheech deeply admires her story, and after this episode, you’ll understand why.

A lifelong educator, Julie shares her journey of growing up underneath the auspices of her father, the founder of Numero, and how she eventually took over and guided the company from a game designed initially to solely assist with the effects of a brain disorder to the purpose-driven and innovative national success story it is today. With this game sweeping the country and taking over schools with infectious enthusiasm, she also dives into the holistic positive impact of Numero and how it is not only helping to improve mathematical ability and confidence but lives at a much deeper level.
