Ep #186: Paul Goodman – Dental Nachos - Freedom Founders Podcast

What do nachos have to do with good dentistry? Dr. Paul Goodman will fill you in on that while discussing important issues with dental school and the future of dentistry. He shares why he thinks dentists need to be nicer and why he’s so passionate about working and collaborating with other dentists.

Paul talks in detail about where he thinks dental schools go wrong and the negative effect it has on many dentists who are trying to do it all on their own. He also shares how dentists can counteract the issues that hit hard right after school and even further down the road by doing and thinking about things differently. He has some great wisdom and insight on the dental industry and has the ability to share the bigger picture and solutions with us.
