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.

I saw something recently that really stuck with me—Brené Brown, during an interview with Bill Maher, dropped a deceptively simple phrase: “Just let them.” That idea hit me like a ton of bricks. Whether you're in traffic, dealing with a frustrated parent in your office, or reacting to something a team member said—it’s so easy to get worked up. But what if you didn’t?
In this episode, I dive into why letting go of unnecessary conflict isn’t just good for your mental health—it’s good for your practice, your family, and your life. I share how adopting this “just let them” mindset has helped me avoid burnout, reduce stress, and stay aligned with the orthodontist—and person—I want to be. It’s not about being passive. It’s about being intentional with your energy.
Quotes
“So many people are going to do things that upset you—you can’t control that. But you can control how you react.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
“When you let someone who’s really negative upset you, they win twice. I won’t let that happen. And neither should you.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
