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
Letting Go Without Losing Control l 5MF
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I’ve spoken to hundreds of orthodontists who can’t unplug—even for a day. If you feel like your practice can’t run without you answering every text, solving every problem, or approving every decision… then we need to talk. Because that’s not a badge of honor—it’s a red flag that your systems aren’t serving you.
In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I talk candidly about what it really takes to create a practice that functions without you. I challenge the idea that you always need to be involved and show you why letting go a little is the fastest way to reclaim your time, your sanity, and your joy. If your vacation still feels like work, or you’re worried the whole place will collapse when you leave, you’ll want to hear this.
