Nick is 100% accurate on his evaluation of dentistry. It is an odd industry (my dad and grandfather are both dentists and I have worked in business of dentistry for 6 years). A. You can live without your teeth. It’s not a great life but it’s possible. Dental care is 100% elective vs taking care of weight or liver or lungs B. Dentistry is 4-6 years of medical school after 4 years of science undergrad. As soon as you enter the workplace you’re a manager and a business owner with 0% experience in this area. On top of that, dentistry is 100% elective making you a medical salesperson. Except you have no sales training. You’re a tactical and technical doctor by trade but you’re supposed to have exceptional management and people AND selling skills to have a successful practice (most of which don’t). Your employees are typically some or none college educated. Hygiene school typically starts straight out of high school. Hygiene is also elective and arguably even more sales driven (heads up, you don’t need that fluoride for $60, just buy Act fluoride at Walmart and you’re fine). It’s a hilarious recipe for disaster that hasn’t updated its model in the modern era an inch. Some figure it out but most don’t. Additionally, almost all dental insurance is more of a coupon than insurance. It’s less about coverage and more about 10% off on your first two visits. Most likely, you will save money paying out of pocket than paying for dental insurance. For context my wife worked in dental insurance for 2-years. It’s not a scam but it is misrepresent as to how helpful it is. So maybe it is a scam. There are good dentists out there but they are far and few in between. Do your research. Generally if you see a large count of Google reviews, it means the dentist has intentionally sought those reviews because they’re working on a good business. If you see a long standing dental office with
This was so much fun, thanks for putting this together Andrew, got a TOTALLY different side of Nick and tons of actionable tips. Thanks for everything you do-have a ton of respect for you both, awesome people and so much fun being a fly on the wall with this one. You ask such great questions Andrew 🔥 and Nick, you're such a great storyteller!
After reading the `Never enough`, I have a new hero and it's Andrew :) One day I will experience the same feeling as Andrew did when he met Charlie Munger.
Oh I knew Sam or someone mentioned Andrew's podcast sometime but I never sought it out to sub to it but just clicked a link from twitter to this so putting in watch later for tomorrow. Nice.
Insightful 🌟 Could you suggest any books and interviews to watch for increasing salary and career development in corporate world as engineer/executive to achieve massive growth...

I love Nick so much. He was in India recently, can’t believe I missed meeting him.
Andrew, would you like to experience driving a race car?

These guys are great! But I guess I’m biased 😂
My favorite eppy so far, Nick seems so cool !
Making friends as an adult is hard. Nick's breakdown of his friendship funnel is very tactical and helpful!
This was super informative. I read Nick's book but this was a lot of new information. Totally going to steal the friends newsletter!
This was great! I struggle big time in this area
