In this video, I share why you have to learn to keep going anyway – even when people don’t understand or validate what you’re doing. I talk about: - Going “AWOL” on Army house‑hunting leave to take my family to Italy - Dentists in my group whose aunts thought they had cancer because they were finally getting shredded - Spouses, friends, and colleagues pushing back when you change your habits - My best friend running a 40‑mile ultra with “NMW” (No Matter What) written on his shoes - Posting hot takes on Instagram and getting used to other dentists not agreeing - Living your faith in a world that wants you to keep it quiet The skill is the same: being solid in who you are and what you’re building, even when other people don’t get it. I’m Dr. Richard Low: - Dentist & former CEO of 35 dental practices - Founder of the #1 rated practice‑ownership podcast in dentistry - Burned out, rebuilt my life around faith, family, and fitness - Now coaching 50+ male practice‑owner dentists inside Next Level Fathers to lose weight, reconnect with God, and lead better at home In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why growth often looks “wrong” in the middle The awkward in‑between where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet the final version (weight loss, career, faith, content). - How to handle pushback from family, friends, and spouses Understanding what’s actually behind their comments and how to stay kind but firm in your path. - Why you must narrow whose opinions really count Emmet Scott’s idea: be humble enough to learn from many at first… then ruthlessly narrow down whose voices you let steer your life. - How to use “no matter what” goals properly When it makes sense to write NMW on your shoes and finish the race, even if you have to crawl. - Why you need a tribe for this Doing hard, “crazy” things alone is almost impossible. Doing it with other men walking the same path is 10x easier.

In this episode of Claude Code, DMD, I walk through: - How AI search actually picks dentists to recommend - How I used Claude Code + a webinar from Dr. Anissa Holmes to build an “Is AI Recommending Your Practice?” framework - And how you can audit your own practice in a few minutes using AI I’m Dr. Richard Low: - Dentist & former CEO of 35 dental practices - Founder of the #1 rated practice‑ownership podcast in dentistry - Burned out, rebuilt my life around faith, family, and fitness - Now coaching 50+ male practice‑owner dentists inside Next Level Fathers to lose weight, reconnect with God, and lead better at home In this episode, you’ll see: - How AI search really works for dentists How Claude / ChatGPT answer “best dentist in [area]” and what signals they’re using. - The “AI Recommendation Audit” I ran on a friend’s endo practice Why his practice kept getting picked: Strong Google Business Profile Bing Places / Apple Business Connect Third‑party mentions: AAE, ADA Find‑a‑Doctor, Healthgrades, local media, etc. Clear procedure‑specific content on his site - The 3 tiers of fixes (from easiest to more involved) Tier 1: Quick wins like claiming profiles, cleaning up listings, and fixing your Google Business Profile (with step‑by‑step actions). Tier 2 & 3: Deeper authority / content plays you can layer in over time. - How I use Claude Code’s “watch” skill to digest long webinars Automatically downloading, transcribing, summarizing, and extracting action steps from 1–2 hour marketing trainings… so you don’t have to sit through them all again. - Future uses: building your own CE / clinical knowledge wiki Why I’m excited about using this same “watch + wiki” system to store and review your CE, then quiz yourself so you actually remember and use it.

In this first episode of Claude Code, DMD, I walk through how I’m using Claude Code to build a dental hive mind from more than 4,600 podcast episodes and over 2,400 hours of content from top dental educators and operators – then turning that into an AI “council” dentists can actually use.

I became a dentist, built the practice, traded my life for dentistry… Why am I still not happy?” We all bought the same lie: Dental school → Practice ownership → Money → Automatic happiness and fulfillment. Something in that pipeline is broken. In this video, I tie together the whole series: - People (relationships, conflict, isolation) - Stress and how you cope - Your body and health - Control vs feeling trapped - Purpose and where your life is actually aimed …and show you how to find the single biggest bottleneck that’s blocking your return on life, not just your return on money.

Then you can focus on the one choke point that, if fixed, changes everything.

Why Dentists Without Purpose Stay Miserable

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: As dentists, we’re trained to be the main character. Dental school, residency, CE, practice ownership, income, status… everything orbits us. For a while, that works. Then one day, even with the house, cars, practice, and respect… you feel empty, trapped, and wonder, “What’s the point?” In this episode, I talk about the shift that actually makes dentists happy again: getting your purpose outside yourself. Family, patients, team, faith, service – making your life about something bigger than your own survival and comfort.
