#125- Dr Universe - Ashkan Pitchforth

Ashkan Pitchforth jokes that he’d like to be remembered as the biggest dentist in the UK — but he’s already well on his way to achieving the title in more than one sense.   Since 2015, Ashkan’s established a dental empire incorporating more than 20 clinics and counting while still finding time to build the biggest biceps in the business.   Ashkan discusses how physical training instils a focused business mindset, reveals the source of his interminable drive and fills Prav in on plans for the future.    “Don't buy small and medium t-shirts because they make you look big. You have to train for a year or two, and when your arms are bristling through an extra-large triple extra-large, you’ll know you've got size. It's the same thing with dentistry. Don't jump into it. You've got to learn this is not a race. Life isn't a race, so don't treat it as one”.   Ashkan Pitchforth In This Episode 01.09 - Backstory 10.05 - Dental school 14.55 - Bodybuilding, mindset and discipline 23.46 - Building the empire 30.51 - Clinical to business 35.50 - Business and clinical black box thinking 42.23 - Business structure 47.25 - Training,  intuition and mistakes 51.45 - Audacious goals 55.01 - Responsibilities 57.21 - Advice to young Ashkan 58.52 - Last days and legacy About Ashkan Pitchforth Ashkan qualified in 2009 and set up South Cliff Dental Group in 2015.
