Dr. Pete Stover graduated from OU in 2002 and built a practice in Elk City, OK after 3 years at the OKC Indian Clinic. He and Sheri have been married for over 20 years and have 2 teenagers, Jaclyn and Jacob. Dr. Stover had an affinity for technology and has been a CEREC trainer, faculty at the Dallas Implant Institute, Fellow in the California Implant Institute, beta tester for Sirona, Blue Sky Bio, ClearCorrect, and developed Pilot Plus, a guided drill system for dental implants. As 3-D printing came on to the scene, Pete was an early adopter and much like a “cat lady”, he can’t remember just how many printers he has owned over the years. 3-D printing is a staple in Dr. Stover’s office for surgical guides, aligners, removable, full arch hybrids, occlusal guards, and there’s no end in sight.
Faith in Christ is the cornerstone of Pete’s family. They’ve served in the local church and they’ve even had the opportunity to work together in Thailand providing dental care in regional orphanages. Dr. Stover has had the opportunity to participate in dental mission work in 6 countries, and hopes to add many more.
As the latter portion of Pete’s career rolls around, he is enjoying the mentoring aspect all the more, but has no plans to stop learning and developing more skills, especially in the area of technology and implantology.

With our 100th episode behind us, we thought it was only fitting to officially introduce our newest member to the Life and Dentistry crew. Meet the one and only Friend Bechtel!
Friend Bechtel, though not a TN boy, was raised on a small hobby ranch in Northern Idaho. From humble beginnings, Friend is working hard to develop a future focus to both provide for his family and protect the future of dentistry. Post-graduation he operated a small construction business. First year of dental school he discovered podcasts and frankly has consumed more podcasts and taken more notes on them then probably his entire school combined. This earned him the attention of many leaders in dentistry including this lovely team. In dental school he founded a business organization to help his peers learn more of the business and prepare for the world to come.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife fostering and building new relationships, playing electric violin in local bands, and building his real estate portfolio.

On our final segment of the 100th episode series, we talk with Dr. Alan Mead! We get deep into how influence and mentorship are so instrumental in a persons growth. You never know who you are influencing, so always remember to put your best foot forward each and every day!

If you are thinking of being an associate, thinking of bringing an associate in to your practice, or if you are currently an associate dentist this episode is for you. After one year of working as associates Big Joe, John Wesley, and Scotty break down everything they wish they had done BEFORE they signed their contracts.
In this episode Big Joe talks about why it is SO IMPORTANT to make sure you are getting paid based on adjusted production and NOT collections. We take a look at his contract he signed while we was still in dental school and go over some key things that he could have done differently to put him in a better spot today. Scotty compares his two associateships and tells us why he had to go through some hard times to get to where he is now (a South Georgia mansion). John Wesley shares insights on his transition from being an associate to co-owner of the same office, and now having an associate working for him and his business partner.
This episode is intense and is one that you HAVE to hear before you sign a contract.

Dentistry, by nature, has an intense focus on the science and clinical aspect, with good reason. As professionals, we have to take care of our patients and provide the highest level of care that's in our capabilities. But, if you remove the clinical side from the discussion, you are still left with a relationship that needs attention, and is arguably just as important: the doctor/assistant relationship.
As the saying goes: "if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life." And the environment that you work in is a huge contributing factor to the level of happiness and satisfaction that should come with employment.
On today's episode, we sat down with Anca Sexton RDA who is one of Big Joe's assistants. This interview really dives deep into what makes the doctor/assistant relationship tick. She shares some realistic struggles that no one wants to talk about and what each side can do to improve. This is a great look into dentistry, from the point of view of the dental assistant.
This was an awesome episode for us to record and packed full of knowledge if you're looking to learn the secret to successful career relationships within your office!

On today's episode, we were honored to sit down with Dr. Joseph Crowley, the current ADA President!
This conversation is one where we had a lot of fun during the show, but also got the bottom of several issues that are going on in the profession. Dr. Crowley was extremely insightful and I believe you all will agree he gives some great answers to our questions!
Our profession is truly a great one, but it is also highly respected because of the member support that we have. This is one thing that is important for the future of dentistry and all young dentists alike, and we should always continue to voice our support for each other, in the hope that we can continue to guide this profession into an even brighter future.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take an entire CE course in your own place, while staying in your pajamas the entire time? I mean seriously, who hasn't wanted to do that?
Our guest on the show today, Dr. Dennis Hartlieb of dothandson.com didn't discuss much about pajamas, but he did sit down with us to discuss his new concept and new company, Dental Online Training.
Dental Online Training is essentially a way for you to get all the pros of taking a CE course, but allowing you to do it in your own practice, and at your own pace. The actual hands on portion is sent to you, and the modules can be accessed for the lecture online on their website.
This is a groundbreaking concept, and one that is not only beneficial regarding efficiency, but also financially. This way you don't have to worry with the cost of travel, hotel, days taken off just to travel, etc.
I won't go into much more detail, because Dr. Hartlieb explained it much better on the episode!

Have you ever wondered why so many dentists end up retiring later than the average retirement age? If you have, then you are not alone.
Almost all dentists are well prepared for their clinical endeavors when leaving dental school. The problem is that not all can say the same thing about knowing and understanding how to manage their financials once their degree is obtained. This is a problem that needs to be addressed and the sooner that it is evaluated, the sooner that problems can be fixed, or even avoided. This is why we had Ryan Issac with DentistAdvisors.com to shed some light on that and many other financial topics, and how to avoid so many of the pitfalls we are prone to falling into.
This episode was packed so much content you may have to pause it several times just so you can jot down all the pearls that Ryan put out on the airways!

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? What does it mean to be relentless? These are two words that truly go hand in hand, and questions that we dive deep into during this episode.
We had Drs Karah and David Maloley along with Tiger Safarov sit down with us to chat on these topics and many more. We started the episode with a few laughs, but once we got going, the pearls in this episode just started flowing.
This episode was the last episode we recorded at the Voices of Dentistry this year. While we were recording we had several people come up during the episode and give insights into what we were discussing.
This was a super fun episode we did with some of the most down to earth people you will ever encounter. You all will love this episode!

The phrase "I've hit rock bottom" is one that we all have used or heard someone say at one point or another in our lives. Some of us were the ones saying it because we truly felt like we had hit rock bottom. Others were listening to someone else say that about themselves. Either way, it is a universal saying in regards to things not going so well in someone's life.
While it is a universal saying, it is also a relative term, meaning that one person's rock bottom may or may not be the same as someone else's rock bottom. This is where our guest (Lisa Moler, CEO of MedMark) sheds some light on her struggles in life and what led to her success.
We have all had ups and downs throughout life, but it is so important to surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you to allow you to succeed in all areas of your life. I believe you all with enjoy this episode and get a lot of valuable content out of it.
After the intro, we had a guest appearance from Dr. Justin Moody on the episode, and if you were at The Voices of Dentistry, then you seen him on his one wheel, so it was only fitting that we dared him to take a shot of fireball.. while riding the one wheel.. while on the podcast! You will just have to listen and find out for yourself if he succeeded or not. **Spoiler alert, it is Dr. Justin Moody we are talking about, and if it involves fireball, he usually wins!

I was watching an NBA game the other night and was focusing on how the coach and players interacted during the entire event. Now these are big time players we're talking about with big salaries who have essentially made it to the pinocle in their profession. Each one of these players has a coach. Now you would think that if someone made it to the top of their profession, that they wouldn't need coaching, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. So when you step back and think about this, if a professional athlete needs a coach, then wouldn't we as dentists need one as well.
Now the NBA and and dentistry are two totally different things, BUT the concept of coaching is a universal thing. By surrounding yourself with people who are more skilled then you, or have more knowledge than you, you are only setting yourself up for success in life.
That is why we had Dr. Anissa Holmes on the show to discuss what coaching has done for her in her life, both personally and professionally. She genuinely explained what she has discovered when it comes to the advantages of coaching, as well as how that has transitioned into her marketing and allowed her to gain an insane number of followers on her office facebook page.
She gives the "WOW" factor a new meaning! (no pun intended)

Are you "relentless" in all of the areas in your life?
This is a question we all need to be asking ourselves when we look in the mirror each morning. Being relentless in life is a crucial part to becoming successful in all aspects of your life, whether that be financially, professionally, with your family, or any other area that you are striving to become better in.
This is a big reason why we had Dr. David Maloley from "The Relentless Dentist" on the show! Dr. Maloley is one the most straight forward people you will ever hear speak when it comes to real life, and not holding back the truth of the situation. Every time we speak to him, we always feel more motivated to strive towards an epic life in all aspects of our lives and careers, while maintaining the balance that you must have in life.
You can't put a price tag on how valuable this conversation was, and I can't wait for you all of you to dive in and listen to this episode!
This is also a little sneak peak into the Life and Dentistry Conference, because Dr. Maloley is one of the speakers, and you are in for a treat once you listen to this episode!
If you would like to reach out to Dr. Maloley, you can send him an email to dr.dave@relentlessdentist.com and also be sure to check out his podcast The Relentless Dentist on iTunes!

Have you ever woke up in the morning and thought to yourself that you would like to own a dental practice? How about owning 6 practices in just 6 years of graduating dental school? Well if you did, then you have a lot in common with our guest Dr. Addison Killeen!
Dr. Addison graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry, and took an associateship job straight out of school. As a little time went on, he ended up leaving that associateship and then getting involved in a partnership where he is now part owner of 6 dental offices!
It was very interesting to hear his story on his first associateship, what happened, and why it didn't end up working out. Something very cool from this, is that his first opportunity ended up not working out, but because of this, another door was opened and now he is part owner in 6 dental practices! He has developed a spreadsheet that he uses to crunch and evaluate the practice numbers. This spreadsheet will soon be available on his website www.addisonkilleen.com and he also has a book titled "By The Numbers: A Guide to Buying and Running a Dental Practice" which will be available on Amazon in the neat future.
Dr. Killeen can be reached at Addison.killeen@gmail.com and on Facebook
In all honesty, whether your goal is to be an associate, own a single practice, or own multiple practices, this episode will give you insight into Dr. Addison's journey and what lead him to owning multiple offices.
