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
How Private Equity Can 10X Your Retirement
In this 5-Minute Friday episode, I’m going to challenge the way you think about retirement. I’ve read hundreds of books, spoken with countless professionals, and I’ve come to one clear conclusion: too many of us are aiming way too low when it comes to building wealth for the future.
I’ll walk you through how I’ve structured my own financial world, not just with stocks and bonds but with commercial real estate, private equity, and one of my favorite vehicles: equity inside private equity-backed OSOs like Smile Doctors.
I’m not a financial advisor, but I am someone who’s done the math and seen real returns. I’m talking 20%, 30%, even 40% annual returns.
We’ll also talk about why many orthodontists leave millions on the table by not exploring these paths. If you want to know how to make your money work harder without waiting 40 years to get there, this episode is for you.
Click play, and let’s get real about what it takes to retire wealthy.
