Drill to Brand: The Real Business of Being a Celebrity Dentist

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460053/fan_mail/new] 🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen This episode is all about how to "get the bag and fix your teeth" with the legendary Dr. Catrise Austin. Known globally as the Queen of Smiles, Dr. Austin has spent nearly three decades revolutionizing the dental industry from her home base in the New York City streets. She takes us through her journey from starting her business in 1998 to becoming the premier "dentist to the stars," serving iconic A-listers like Missy Elliott, Toni Braxton, DJ Khaled, and the legendary Cardi B. Dr. Austin dishes on the "secret sauce" behind her success, beginning with a daring cold call to Eddie Murphy’s publicist that provided the high-level PR needed to dominate the competitive New York market. She breaks down the viral moment when Cardi B’s lyric, "Got a bag and fixed my teeth," tripled her business overnight and turned her into a TMZ sensation. This conversation is a masterclass in building a powerhouse personal brand—one that allowed her to design a lifestyle working only three days a week and eventually sell her practice in 2017 to pivot into celebrity branding and coaching.
