On today's episode, we dive into one of the most common but misunderstood challenges in dentistry and entrepreneurship: overwhelm—the "O word." Mark Costes shares why he bans this word at DSI events and how our internal language and mindset can powerfully shape our lived reality. He breaks down the physiology of overwhelm, explains the mental toll of decision fatigue, multitasking, and cognitive overload, and shares personal stories from the early, chaotic days of juggling multiple businesses. You'll also learn about the importance of structured delegation, how to build filters to prioritize effectively, and the impact of unclosed loops on our mental bandwidth. From the neuroscience of task-switching to the power of the default mode network, this episode lays the foundation for reclaiming clarity, energy, and intentional leadership.
