EP 318: How to Scale Your Practice Without Destroying Your Marriage & Health
Thu Feb 05 2026
If you’re trying to scale your dental practice by copying what worked for another dentist, this episode will save you years of stress. “Copy-paste scaling” looks smart on paper, new locations, bigger teams, more production, but it often builds a bigger hamster wheel that drains your energy, wrecks your marriage, and destroys your health. In this conversation, we expose the real reason most practices stall: it’s not a production problem… it’s leadership dressed up in a white coat. Eric Moore from Tower Leadership breaks down why templates fail in dentistry, why strategy must be personal, and how the best practice growth starts with one question: What do you want?
Whether you’re a solo doc trying to regain sanity, building a multi-doctor practice, or thinking about DSOs/private equity, you’ll learn how to scale with clarity, without becoming the bottleneck. If you want practice growth, better systems, more profit, and a business that supports your life (instead of consuming it), this episode gives you the mindset shift and the framework to do it right.
You’ll Learn:
→ Why dentists are drawn to templates and “proven systems,” and how that mindset backfires when your ambition, family life, stress tolerance, and leadership style don’t match the person you’re copying.
→ The difference between the “science” of business metrics and the “art” of scaling, strategy, differentiation, culture, motivation, and attracting top talent.
→ Why every business should start with an exit, how reverse engineering your end goal creates faster and more efficient growth.
→ Why the foundation of real practice expansion is building the leader who great people choose to follow.
