DEO's Growth Secrets Podcast for Dental Organizations

Emmet discusses team, patients, and cashflow with Jacob Puhl, CEO of The Dental Entrepreneur Organization. They discuss these three keys as a framework to cut through the current noise and how to use this approach to lead your DSO in the new dental world.

Tom Nelson talks with guest host, Ken Kaufman, on today's episode where he discusses the commercial banking and acquisition expertise that he brings to his CFO role at Atlas Dentistry.

Emmet hosts Holly Anne Mitchell, Chief Empathy Officer, of The LeadWell Network, discussing her entrepreneurial journey and why “making the request” was transformational to her success. To take your business to a whole other level, Emmet and Holly discuss how DSO leaders can gain this mindset and uncover new resources, networks, and opportunities. They also discuss resilience and adversity — and the creativity, capabilities, and lessons — discovered during the pandemic and more.

In part 2 of the "CEOs of DSOs" series, Emmet Scott talks with AJ Acierno, Co-Founder and CEO of DecisionOne Dental Partners. AJ and Emmet talk what it means to be a leader, getting out of your comfort zone and realizing that you need to surround yourself with really good people that know more than you in areas where you're deficient.

In this episode, Emmet welcomes Sarah Sharfstein, Vice President, Category Development & Strategy at Aspen Dental. They discuss how to scale in multiple areas simultaneously — what’s needed to support both clinicians and at the practice level to be successful. Sarah gives an inside view into the strategies Aspen is using to scale. She and Emmet dig deep into the challenges, potential solutions, and opportunities that come with adding specialties to any dental organization. Before joining Aspen’s leadership, Sarah spent about 12 years at Invisalign in a variety of different roles. From her experience, it was a natural transition into her role at Aspen to help develop their orthodontic category, driving its utilization in a scalable way to deliver good clinical outcomes.
