The CEO Mindset: Systematizing Your Practice for Freedom and Growth
The Raving Patients Podcast
If your practice runs only when you’re watching every corner, you don’t have a business—you have a job with extra stress. In this episode, I sit down with Kiera Dent of Dental A-Team to break down the CEO mindset so you can step out of micromanagement, build a self-managing team, and get your time—and sanity—back.

In this episode, I sit down with David Herman from Web Marketing for Dentists. David’s helped over 2,000 practices generate $50 million in production — and today, he’s breaking down how to stop chasing low-value leads and start filling your schedule with patients who want the treatments you love to do.

✅ The hidden dangers of a weak online presence
✅ Why video matters more than ever
✅ How to truly track your ROI from Google Ads
