In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Marc reconnects with Matt Bracegirdle from CareCru for a raw, unscripted conversation about the emotional toll of 2025—and how we show up for others while holding ourselves together.

Matt shares heartbreaking and courageous stories, including the recent, sudden loss of his father-in-law and the profound ways it’s impacted his family, his work, and his sense of self. From unexpected grief to professional resilience, this episode is a testament to the power of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and reflection.

They also explore:


•How grief challenges personal identity and long-term goals
•The healing power of being emotionally present
•Why CareCru’s automation tools are changing the game for dental practices
•The financial reality of neglected analytics and unscheduled treatment
•How real-time patient engagement equals real-world revenue
