To wrap up this transformative season, we’re closing with a woman who has not only witnessed the evolution of dentistry — she has been the evolution.

In this episode, we sit down with the legendary Anne Duffy, a true matriarch in the dental space whose passion for empowering women became more than a mission — it became a movement. Anne is the founder of DeW Life (Dental Entrepreneur Woman) and Dental Entrepreneur: Business Beyond the Classroom, and she brings decades of industry experience, heart-forward leadership, and unshakable advocacy into every conversation.

But behind the brands and beyond the magazine pages lies a story of grit, grace, and a moment of righteous rage that sparked a revolution. We dive into that moment — the one where Anne hung up the phone, outraged by yet another story of workplace bullying, and knew she had to do something.

What came next was not just a publication. It was a platform. A pipeline. A call to rise.

From the tennis courts to the boardrooms, from raising kids to raising the bar for women in dentistry — Anne shares how she turned her life experience, her bold voice, and her gift for connection into a legacy that’s lifting an entire industry.

This conversation is funny, fiery, and fiercely honest — just like Anne.

🎧 Tune in to hear the story behind the woman who’s always Dewing the Most!
