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.

In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I walk you through why pre-scheduling your year—especially the time off—is the single most powerful thing you can do to take back control of your life and your practice. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overworked, or like you're building your life around your office hours instead of the other way around, this episode is for you.
I've been doing this a long time, and I can promise you: no one ever regrets the time they took off. But so many docs regret the time they didn’t. Whether you want to work 3 days a week, take 10 weeks off a year, or scale your practice while feeling less burned out—yes, it’s possible. But it starts by scheduling your life like it matters... because it does.
