A Simple Guide to Living Your Best Life Outside of Orthodontics Artwork

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.

A Simple Guide to Living Your Best Life Outside of Orthodontics

March 28, 2025 • Dr. Glenn Krieger

This episode might ruffle some feathers, and I’m totally okay with that because sometimes you need a little disruption to shake things loose.

I’m diving into something I taught before - how to actually live your best life. It's a simple but powerful four-quadrant framework that’ll help you figure out where your time and energy should go.

You should be living in the box where you’re doing stuff you love, and you’re great at. But most of you are stuck in boxes full of things you can do but don’t enjoy and it’s draining the life out of you.

I also dig into the “Cross of Life”—balancing family, health, work, and belief. If you get yourself out of balance, you’re going to crash. And listen, stop defining yourself as just an orthodontist. That’s not your legacy or why you’re here.

Listen in to this 5-minute Friday to hear more about living your best life.
