Enjoying these moments is easier said than done...


Hey Friends,

Week 2 of fatherhood has been pretty good overall!

The biggest thing I am finding myself slipping up on is thinking about work or "the next phase" instead of fully immersing myself in this one.

I feel like part of that is because I had a few open loops for work like content review and a brand deal that I am working on...

These were supposed to be done by the end of February so that I could lock in on navigating fatherhood and supporting Neha starting March 6 (Naira's original due date) but she came 3 weeks early LOL

All that being said - I have closed the loops and am committing to going "zero dark thirty" for this month.

This means blocking out using social media apps and keeping my phone on do not disturb for a majority of the day for the next 30 days.

It means focusing on the things going on IN my house first before reaching for the phone to see what is going on people's stories.

I have heard it a million times "enjoy these moments"

I am learning very quickly that you can't enjoy these moments when your mind is somewhere else.

"Enjoying these moments" is easier said than done because as much as I want to focus on being here in this moment I can't help but think about the future...

Will Naira ever sleep through the night?

Will our schedules ever return to normal?

Will the business continue to grow even if I am not working on it?

The answer to these questions is YES... it will just take TIME and I have to TRUST.

And that is my plan.

More trust - less stress.

This is the challenge that I am accepting.

I am grateful to have time in my life now and have control over what I work on and do.

This is something that I have worked hard to make a reality and now that it is here I do not want to waste it.

You may be in a similar position in life right now where you are trying to navigate a new scenario or environment.

Maybe you made some promises to yourself about wanting to change and you haven't followed through on them.

It's ok.

Nobody is perfect.

You STILL have the ability to change by taking 1 action today towards your goal.

Whether it is a clinical, financial, or personal goal.

Whatever that action is - I challenge you to act on it today.

Do it for your future self - you won't regret it 😉

Ok I gotta run - Naira is sleeping on my chest and it's feeding time.

Have a great weekend!

Here are some tips for dentists and their teams to help them effectively integrate and manage clear aligner treatments in their practice:

  3. Leverage Digital Tools: Utilize digital scanning and practice management software to streamline the treatment process, from accurate impressions to efficient scheduling and follow-up.
  4. Focus on Patient Compliance: Encourage adherence to wearing schedules with regular check-ins and use tools like apps or SMS reminders to keep patients engaged and compliant.

Hey Friends, When it comes to presenting treatment plans, I’ve seen too many dentists make the mistake of only listing a single line—“Clear Aligners: $5500.” But here’s the thing: patients need to understand why they’re investing that amount and what they’re getting in return. Take a few minutes to list everything you’re providing for that $5500: unlimited appointments, retainers, digital scans, before-and-after photos, the aligners themselves, and even materials. Stack the value and show...

Hey Friends, I’ve noticed that some team members ask for incentives or bonuses for aligner cases, but here’s the thing—aligners are a regular part of your treatment offerings, just like fillings or crowns. Do you offer bonuses for every crown or implant case? Probably not. Before jumping to offer incentives, think twice. Offering bonuses for something that’s regularly offered can set the wrong precedent. It can create short-term wins but lead to long-term expectations that could backfire. I’m...

Hey Friends, I’ve seen so many dentists blame patients for not being able to afford treatment. But here’s the truth—offering 3rd party financing changes the game. Too many dentists get stuck complaining about the small fee the lender takes and miss the bigger picture. By not offering financing options, you’re leaving treatments (and money) on the table. Patients don’t always have the cash upfront, but giving them an option to spread out payments lets them say “yes” more often. You get paid...
