135: from Burnt-Out CEO to 100K+ Group Launch with Richard Low

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Richard Low, a former dentist who built a thriving group program helping mid-career dentists get their health, and lives,  back on track.

Richard opens up about the real story behind his burnout after leading a 35-office dental group, how he made the tough call to walk away, and the unexpected path that led him to launch a brand new business (without a website, funnel, or social media following).

We talk through:

  • The power of sharing a real story that meets your audience where they are (and how Richard’s viral post brought in 70+ leads)
  • What it looked like to sell $100K+ before the program was built
  • Why group programs offer freedom and flexibility that 1:1 models just can’t...
  • What happens after a big launch (and how we’re coaching him through the next season)
  • A raw, honest look at the pressure to do content “right” and how perfectionism gets in the way of growth
  • Why messy action still works in 2025, and how we build businesses that fit real lives.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need the perfect funnel, full curriculum, or huge audience before you launch… this one is for you.
