Dentistry is a challenging but incredibly rewarding career. For many millennial dentists, student debt presents a huge obstacle to enjoying their practice and planning for the future. But our guest today, Sunny Pahouja, is helping millennials tackle debt and investment at the same time.

Sunny is an excellent leader and has invested heavily in himself and his practice, as well as in assets to secure his future. He’s also got a talent for bringing dentists together, revitalizing the ASDA chapter at Ohio State and beginning the Dental Investment Group on Facebook for dentists to discuss investment options.

Sunny talks about his career and his advice for millennials who are in or just graduating from dental school. It’s entirely possible to pay down your debt while also investing for your retirement and enjoying day-to-day dentistry!
