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
An Executive Assistant Can Change Your Life l 5MF
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if I told you that for less than the cost of one case, you could buy back hours of your week—and finally focus on the work that actually grows your practice?
In this Five Minute Friday, I’m challenging one of the biggest blind spots I see in orthodontists today: the belief that “I can do it all myself.” After coming off a high-level Orthopreneurs RD meeting, it became crystal clear—most of you aren’t lacking solutions… you’re lacking time. And more importantly, you’re holding onto tasks you should’ve delegated years ago.
Quotes
“The overwhelming majority of you are way too busy, don’t have enough time, and are making enough money that you can afford an executive assistant.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
“If you can take $20,000 a year to free you up and focus on the things you need to be doing, it’ll be the best money you ever spend.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
