Ep. 91 | What's Up, Doc? | Dr. Rick MIller
Jonathan Tyroch and Joe Fox welcome Dr. Rick Miller, MB2 partner and owner of Grove Dental Associates in Grove, Oklahoma, to the podcast for a conversation that covers dentistry, leadership, and a sport you don’t hear about every day, hydroplane boat racing. Dr. Miller breaks down what hydroplane racing is, how fast these boats really go, and how his family has been involved in the sport since the 1950s. Dr. Miller also shares his story of joining his dad in practice, growing the business over decades, and later combining practices with his now-partners through a move that required teamwork, patience, and significant leadership growth. He talks about how building the right culture, investing in the team, and surrounding yourself with the right people have shaped the success of his practice, both before and after partnering with MB2. This episode highlights what it takes to build something that lasts, the value of strong teams, and why having the right people around you makes all the difference, whether you’re in the office or on the water. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen: Spotify: Apple Podcast: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow MB2 Dental on Social: MB2 Dental: mb2dental.com Instagram: instagram.com/mb2dental Facebook: facebook.com/mb2dental YouTube: youtube.com/@mb2dental LinkedIn: linkedin.com/mb2-dental

Dr. Jessica Britten-Fazzio is the dentist who said “yes” to practice ownership at 26… and then never looked back. In this episode of MB2 Underground, Dr. Britten walks us through buying a true time-capsule office (yes, there was carpet in the operatories and appointments were booked on paper), earning trust as the “new sheriff in town,” and modernizing her practice one project at a time. Along the way, we get the story of her legendary cadaver-museum engagement, her unexpected path from psychology major to science-obsessed dentist, and what it really took to juggle ownership, maternity leave, two kids under two, and doing payroll from the hospital. Dr. Britten also shares how CAD/CAM and same-day dentistry transformed her clinical joy, why partnering with MB2 helped her reclaim balance, and what she believes matters most as dentistry moves toward AI and tech: genuine human connection, community roots, and treating every patient like family. If you’ve ever wondered when (or whether) you’re “ready” for ownership, this one’s your nudge: take the leap, learn fast, and keep going. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen: Spotify: Apple Podcast: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow MB2 Dental on Social: MB2 Dental: mb2dental.com Instagram: instagram.com/mb2dental Facebook: facebook.com/mb2dental YouTube: youtube.com/@mb2dental LinkedIn: linkedin.com/mb2-dental

Ep. 66 | Nacho Average Dental Career | Dr. Paul Goodman
On this episode of MB2 Underground, we sit down with Dr. Paul Goodman, a dentist, founder of Dental Nachos and Dentist Job Connect, and passionate advocate for making dentistry a little less lonely (and a lot more fun). Dr. Goodman shares the story behind Dental Nachos, a community that started as a simple Facebook group and has grown into a thriving resource for dentists to learn, connect, and feel supported. He opens up about his journey from practicing alongside his dad to building multiple businesses, all while balancing the unique challenges in dentistry. We talk about the importance of hiring associates, what it really takes to step away from the chair, and why focusing on happiness is key to long-term success. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen: Spotify: Apple Podcast: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow MB2 Dental on Social: MB2 Dental: mb2dental.com Instagram: instagram.com/mb2dental Facebook: facebook.com/mb2dental YouTube: youtube.com/@mb2dental LinkedIn: linkedin.com/mb2-dental

Ep. 62 | Having a Good Time in the Bad Times | Dr. Steve Luccarelli
Dr. Steve Luccarelli has been through every phase of dentistry you can imagine. A former college athlete turned orthodontist, he’s gone from junior partner to solo owner, to senior partner, to now, an MB2 Dental partner. In this episode, he shares the wild story of playing Division I baseball behind his dad’s back, how a bad hop and two fractured teeth ended up steering him toward dentistry, and why buying an 11,000-square-foot building right before the 2008 crash almost cost him everything. We talk about what it means to bet on yourself, how to build a team that truly shows up for each other, and what’s kept him going strong after practicing for 40+ years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen: Spotify: Apple Podcast: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow MB2 Dental on Social: MB2 Dental: mb2dental.com Instagram: instagram.com/mb2dental Facebook: facebook.com/mb2dental YouTube: youtube.com/@mb2dental LinkedIn: linkedin.com/mb2-dental
