Bill, it's a pleasure to be on your podcast.
I look forward to this really interesting discussion topic.
Yeah, so I partnered with Dental Corp, rolled in my five practices that I'd acquired since 2009 into a DSO framework, and then shortly after took on the role of their director of clinical operations.
So really energetic organization, young leadership team, growth-oriented, as you mentioned, they've now expanded down into the US, so cross-border DSO.
And education, which is really my passion, one of the challenges that we saw was
was that implementing things that independent dentists were successful with, technology, protocols, workflows, when you had to scale that, that's where the difficulty came in place.
So we tried building our own educational platform.
Obviously, that is a very onerous and heavy lift.
There was some success with that.
But reinventing the wheel in any aspect, especially with dental education, may not be the best way to focus efforts for a DSO.
So we created a hybrid component where there was a lot of internal education.
It's a big network.
There's a lot of great dentists and educators who we could leverage for that.
but also partnering with outside sources, OEMs or educational institutes like Spear Education to fill in some of the gaps that we couldn't create internally.
That seemed to be a really good recipe for us.
So I learned a lot in that role, going from an independent dentist to learning about the machinations of a large corporation, corporate lingo, how boardrooms and meetings work.
It was a really informative and transformative experience for me, one that I was appreciative of.
Yeah, 2018, I had the opportunity to give my first solo presentation on digital dentistry.
It was probably a terrible presentation.
I don't even know if I knew what keynote was at the time.
