Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Group Dentistry Now show. I'm Bill Newman. And as always, we appreciate you joining us. Always have the best guests on. And I've admired what Sonny Pahudja has been doing from afar. been peeking into the Facebook group that he has on and off for quite a while. He's built one of the largest Facebook groups out there called the Dental Investment Group. Really kind of an interesting take on things and pretty unique. I'll let him kind of explain the reason behind founding the group. Yes, he actually is a practicing clinician as well, although I think probably the investment group might even overshadow your your day in and day out role running Lifetime Smiles. But Sonny, it's really great to have you
here. Yeah, no, thanks for having me. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's been an interesting journey. I started the group back in 2017 when I was just two years into practice ownership. I just wanted someone to talk to about practice ownership, retirement planning, investing. And I had my undergrad in finance and real estate. And I was just like, man, I feel like no one really talks about the investment part of it. No one really talks about how to manage your overhead the best possible way and what kind of things can we be doing to really grow the top line, grow the bottom line, and discuss some of that retirement planning. You read about some of this stuff, how many doctors are in their 60s and 70s still working,
primarily for the reason because they feel like they haven't saved enough or they haven't grown their investments enough. So I was like, I have to start something that gets the conversation going, that really gets people to talk about it and be intentional about it. And just from that standpoint, I said, hey, I'm going to start this group. And it grew from... few hundred doctors that I knew at the time to over 26,000 doctors now. So it's kind of cool to see all that growth and all these people that share their wisdom, all these people that share their knowledge on a daily basis. So it's pretty cool to see all those interactions that take place.
So how long have you been running the group?
Started that in 2017. So what is that? Yeah, about seven or nine years. Yeah, my math was wrong there.
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. It's become a really popular group. And again, I think you're almost... picking up where dental school left off, because there is that gap that you hear all the time where, you know, there's the bulk, right? 99% is focused on clinical. And then, of course, then you're supposed to run a business at the same time, but you're getting maybe 1%. So really the education you get, business education, is an undergrad if you happen to have a major like yours, which is finance, but a lot of clinicians don't have that. They might have a biology major or something that's not focused on business.
Yeah. And I think, honestly, that's one of the biggest disservices that happens in dental school is not enough education on the business side of dentistry to One, because I don't think it only applies to doctors who own their practices, but it also applies to associates.
