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.

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger
Are You Making the #1 Career-Killing Mistake in Ortho?
I’m going to be straight with you, some of you are making a massive mistake, and it’s driving me crazy. I keep hearing, “I’m having a down year, I can’t afford CE.” That’s complete BS. You can’t afford NOT to invest in yourself.
Even the most successful orthodontists still invest heavily in learning and those struggling should be increasing their educational spending, not cutting it.
Skipping CE because ‘money’s tight,’ is just lying to yourself… you’re sabotaging your practice, your family, and your future.
If you’re having a tough year, THAT is exactly why you need to double down on learning. You have patients counting on you, a family depending on you, and no one else is going to fix this for you but YOU.
In this 5-Minute Friday, I’m giving you a little tough love, because someone needs to say it.
If you’re stuck, it’s time to shake things up, and the best way to do that? Get to a course. Go to a meeting. Hire a coach. Do something different.
No orthodontist should ever be in a position where they can’t afford to invest in their own success.
Listen now, and let’s get to work. 🔥
