The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger
What does it mean to become an Orthopreneur? Hi there! My name is Dr. Glenn Krieger and I believe that in today’s competitive world, the orthodontic and dental communities should be collaborative. And I've created Orthopreneurs so that we can move towards that goal together. Orthodontists are smart people. You’ve accomplished a lot to get where you are, but chances are you never got a formal education in how to run the most effective and lowest stress practice possible. Don’t sweat it! Because we’ve got your back... Being an Orthopreneur means that you’re a part of a community. A community that brings peers together to become the best clinicians and the best business owners they can be. Becoming an Orthopreneurs means you never ever need to practice alone.

Mentors vs Coaches vs Consultants: Which One Do You Need?
Understanding the difference between mentors, coaches, and consultants is key for anyone looking to advance their career or business. These roles offer distinct types of support, and choosing the right one will greatly impact your success.
In this episode, I break down what each one actually does and how picking the right one (or all three) could change your career forever.
Over my 30+ years running ortho and dental practices, coaching teams, and building businesses, I’ve spent roughly $500,000 on coaches and consultants. It’s safe to say my return on investment has been several million so far in my career.
You’ll hear real-world examples of how a coach can revolutionize your mindset, why mentors offer invaluable advice (but limited hands-on help), and how consultants solve targeted challenges.
Don’t guess your way to growth. Hit play and learn more about investing in yourself for success.
