Helpful… but it can’t actually do anything for you. In this episode of Claude Code, DMD, I show you how to turn Claude Code (or Codex) into the start of your personal AI operating system as a dentist, starting with a single file: me.md. Once AI knows who you are, what your practice looks like, what you care about, and what you’re building, it stops being a generic advice bot and starts becoming an operator that can act on your behalf (with guardrails). 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: 1. Chat vs Operator: Why the desktop app matters - The difference between claude.ai in the browser and Claude Code on your computer - Why having it run locally (with your files, calendar, email) gives you control and privacy - When Codex (ChatGPT’s desktop equivalent) is an option and how it compares 2. What Claude Code can actually do for you - The “watch” skill: auto‑download, transcribe, screenshot, and summarize any YouTube or webinar - Daily checks on your favorite creators (Brad Bonanno, Hormozi, etc.), with recommendations on which videos are worth your time - Pulling in meeting transcripts (Granola), your calendar, and email, then turning them into concrete tasks 3. Why you must give AI boundaries and context - Permission modes: Plan Mode, Ask, Auto, and why “Bypass” is a terrible idea for most people - What info you should and shouldn’t connect as a dentist (no PHI, be smart about sensitivity) 4. The first file: me.md – your AI user manual - Why markdown (.md) is the perfect dumb, portable format AI loves - How a single me.md file (who you are, your practice, your goals, your constraints) lets any future AI tool instantly know you - How I use this concept to build full “brains” out of mentors, podcasts, and CE that I can query on demand Get the me.md starter prompt 📄 I’ve written a prompt that walks you through ~15 targeted questions and then generates your me.md file automatically. 👉 Grab the prompt here (in addition to my whole AI vault): https://nextlevelfathers.kit.com/5b66c35d89 [https://nextlevelfathers.kit.com/5b66c35d89 ] Use it inside Claude Code (or Codex) to: - Create your first me.md file - Store it in your Claude Code project folder - Reuse it with any AI system going forward What’s next: - In the next Claude Code, DMD episode, I’ll do this live from a blank session so you can see exactly how I answer, what the file looks like, and how to start layering more context (practice data, mentors, CE, etc.) on top.

In this episode of Claude Code, DMD, I zoom out and show how I’m actually using AI day‑to‑day as a dentist and business owner, not as a toy, but as a personal operating system. You don’t need 100 AI tools. Right now, you really only need ChatGPT + Claude and if you’re willing to go a bit deeper, Claude Code becomes like JARVIS for your life. 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: 1. The only 2 AI tools you really need right now - When to use ChatGPT (images + some general stuff) - Why I prefer Claude for thinking, projects, and code - What Claude Code unlocks that normal chat never will 2. How I built a GTD system inside Claude Code - Using David Allen’s Getting Things Done ideas - Daily sync: Claude pulls my calendar, email, project files, and brain dump, then tells me what actually matters today - Evening sync: capturing what got done, what didn’t, and updating projects - “Capture session” command: saving whatever rabbit hole I just went down so I can safely stop and return later 3. Letting Claude Code clean my inbox and budget - Connecting to email to surface what truly needs me, then nuking the noise (unsubscribes, promos, updates) - Plugging into Monarch, redesigning my budget categories with AI, and finally having a plan my wife and I can actually use - Modeling multiple retirement and savings strategies in a single Sunday session 4. The 2 Claude Code skills I’d start with as a dentist - Email connection: get AI to help you triage, tag, and clear your inbox - “Watch” skill for YouTube/CE: automatically downloading, transcribing, summarizing, and extracting action items from long videos then building your own searchable CE/knowledge wiki Brad's "Watch Skill" Video: https://youtu.be/QZMljuD10sU?si=_OhFme9WW1luCXi- [ https://youtu.be/QZMljuD10sU?si=_OhFme9WW1luCXi-] Once those are in place, every week gets easier. The more context Claude has about you and your world, the more leverage you get.

Why the Best Dentists Start Ignoring Advice (I Went AWOL)

👉 Free training for burnt‑out dentists who want to get in the best shape of their life and lead at home: https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJs [https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJs] Limited Spots - 6 per month DM me RIP6 on IG - instagram.com/dr.richard.low/ [instagram.com/dr.richard.low/] OR text (219) 245-7050 for availability Most dentists hit a point where the people around them get scared of their growth: - You lose 30–40+ pounds and family starts asking if you have cancer. - You push your fitness, your faith, your career, or your content and people say, “You’re going too far.” - You talk about starting a practice, selling a practice, moving cities, or posting your real opinions… and everyone tells you not to. 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’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: - Why I’m shifting from ChatGPT to Claude (and specifically, Claude Code) What makes it better for building tools, automations, and multi‑agent “councils.” - How the “Claude Council” works – and how I adapted it for dentistry Multiple AI advisors with different roles (contrarian, first principles, expansionist, outsider, executor), peer‑reviewing each other, and then a “chairman” synthesizing one clear verdict. - Turning 4,600+ dental podcast episodes into a Dental Hive Mind Pulling in Shared Practices, Bulletproof, Kiera Dent, Bruce Baird, Paul Etchison, Sandy Pardue, Scott Luna, Alex Hormozi’s material, and more – transcribing and indexing all of it so you can query the collective wisdom like a mastermind on demand. - Why “parlor trick” AI is a waste – and what real leverage looks like Focusing on tools that save hours, improve leadership, and give you better decisions as an owner, instead of just burning nights “playing with AI.” If you’re a successful, stressed or burned-out dentist, 🚀 Watch the full Next Level Fathers Framework: https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJs [https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJs] Connect with me 📸 Instagram (daily content & behind the scenes): instagram.com/dr.richard.low/ [ instagram.com/dr.richard.low/]
